This week I speak with my friend Mirin Mooney who is just such a delightful person.
Mirin Mooney is a mental health coach and mentor. Having struggled with her mental health in the form of depression, self-harm, and bulimia, and finding that traditional treatments were ineffective she has dedicated the past decade to travelling the world and learning from different cultures and their approaches to healing and mental health.
She combines the ancient practices of Ayurveda, Shamanism, and Energy Healing with her education in modern psychotherapy, mindfulness, coaching, and creative therapies to deliver her workshops, programs, and one-to-one services on topics such as mindfulness, past trauma, emotional intelligence, self-love, and the use of art and the body in healing. She specializes in empowering young women to overcome their insecurities and unresolved issues from the past so that they can love themselves unconditionally, express themselves fearlessly and create the deeply fulfilling life their soul craves.
In this episode we talk about:
- How the challenges in expressing herself as a young person translated into eating disorder behaviours
- How being a human who feels big and deeply is part of who you are and doesn’t need fixing but learning to navigate it helps living life to the fullest extent possible.
- How art and creativity helped her healing as well as self expression
- Boundaries what they are and how to use them
- That setting boundaries doesn’t tend to be easy and can have different consequences
- Resentment
- The importance of self-love and self-acceptance
CW: We do speak in the beginning of this episode briefly about mental health struggles with self harm and ED bulimia behaviours.
