    New Year, Newish Me!

    AmPopsy…It’s that time again!! You know what it is…it comes every year like clockwork- Happy New Year!! And much like preparing your annual tax return, it is a time for an endless supply of hope that you will receive a kind of windfall in life, quietly fearing the truth will be quite the opposite. But alas, it’s only the first week, so let’s stay hopeful and ambitious, folks!

    Mongolian Adventures – Part Two

    In Part One, I shared a few must-see sights from the cities of Mongolia. But, at the end of the day, cities are cities. The beauty of Mongolia is taking on the nomadic life and exploring the country. It’s pretty incredible how dramatically the landscape can change – from the Gobi Desert, to bald mountains, to gorgeous lakes and forested mountains. Long drives can take you through a number of different terrains. Although the roads are often terrible (sometimes only trails in the grass), traffic in the countryside is usually just roaming herds that might rest in your way. They’ll eventually move out of your way… at their own pace, but the slow pace makes for some great photos of sheep, goats, cows and yaks, and horses. Take a Walk on the Wild Side by Exploring the Countryside A few things you might want to see: National parks: There are numerous national parks around the country, each with their own unique attributes. Gorkhi Terelj National Park is closest to UB, featuring amazing mountain views, some Buddhist temples and meditation centers, some unique archeological features and plenty of tourist camps—both lodges and ger camps—to enjoy the countryside. You can even arrange,...

    The Wonderful Benefits of Therapy

    In Episode 4 of Talk Wellness to Me, Ashley Johnson and Delilah DaSilva speak with David Hernandez, Therapist and Host of “Beyond the Pulpit”, a KJLH radio show that hosts provocative conversations with prominent faith leaders. In Episode Four, the hosts speak with Hernandez about all things therapy – from surviving an abusive, alcoholic father and honoring his calling to become a therapist to pointers on finding the right therapist for you. This episode is a fantastic listen for anyone who’s ever been to therapy, considered therapy, or is just plain curious about how it works. Key Popsyisms From This Episode… “I had an innate desire to help and connect with people that were hurting like me.” – Hernandez on honoring his calling to become a mental health provider “When you go through anything traumatic…you always feel like (1) It’s your fault, and (2) No one else understands…” – DaSilva on the emotional effects of trauma “One of my greatest tools in connecting with other people is just sharing my story…I want people to know that talking to me is safe.” – Hernandez on how he approaches his role as a therapist “There are not enough men of color in,...

    Surviving a Lay-Off… Essential Questions to Ask Your Employer When Facing a Lay-Off

    Job loss of any kind can be hard. But it’s especially hard when that loss is unexpected and due to no fault of your own. Aside from the loss of income, which is no small thing, many people also struggle with feeling displaced and devalued. Combine that with feelings of loneliness and grief for the relationships and daily routines that used to provide a sense of comfort and familiarity, and you’ve got a ready-made recipe for panic, anxiety, and depression. However, it doesn’t have to be that way. A job loss, though difficult, is not the end of the world, and can actually serve as a launchpad to the next best thing for you and your career. The key is to approach it with mindfulness, patience, self-compassion, and a bit of strategy. In this two-part series, we offer some tools and advice to weathering the storm of a lay-off. In Part One, we take a look at some of the things you want to ask for and about from your employer when and if you’re laid off…. You sit silently in the room with your boss and the HR rep. They’ve just explained that this is a business decision, nothing,...
