Krista Nerestant – The Hidden Gifts of Trauma; Self-ish Lifestyle; & Hypnosis

By thehealingplacepodcast | August 27, 2021

I enjoyed this beautiful conversation as I learned much from Krista Nerestant, founder of Self-ish Lifestyle, wellness expert, author, medium, life coach, and hypnotist. Please join us as we discuss:

Krista’s insights on the hidden gifts of trauma
her philosophies on healing modalities
what she means by “self-ish lifestyle”
her role as a hypnotist
and so much more!

Bio:

“Krista Nerestant is a practicing life coach, educated and certified in Neuro Linguistic Programming and The Satir Method of Transformational Systemic Therapy to heal family dynamics and trauma, and an advocate for women and children. She hosts a podcast, Self-Care Tuesdays, that is dedicated to encouraging, empowering and elevating the journey of self-care. She’s teaching women it’s OK to be “Self-ish”!

Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is a psychological approach that involves analyzing strategies used by successful individuals and applying them to reach a personal goal. It relates thoughts, language, and patterns of behavior learned through experience to specific outcomes.

Proponents of NLP assume all human action is positive. Therefore, if a plan fails or the unexpected happens, the experience is neither good nor bad—it simply presents more useful information.

Satir’s Transformational Systemic Therapy Model (STST) is unique in encompassing both the intrapsychic and interactive components of therapy. Much therapy of the past has been focused only on clients’ behaviour, cognition or affect. The Satir Model is focused on the whole human being, tapping into their internal resources and universal yearnings to facilitate transformational change within their personal, family, and social systems. The Satir Model process facilitates development of increased levels of competence and congruence in the therapist.

STST processes are supported by therapeutic and neurobiological research. Evidence-based research supports experiential, systemic, positively directional and change focused therapeutic processes to bring about neurological changes in clients. STST emphasizes that therapists create and provide the conditions for attachment, hope, positive possibilities and safety in order to facilitate change.“

Brett Weiss – Creating a World in Which Every Child Has Access to a Better Education

By thehealingplacepodcast | August 20, 2021

Such a beautiful and inspiration conversation with Brett Weiss, founder and director of the Weiss Scholarship Foundation – providing education to children in Kenya. Please join us as we discuss:

Brett’s insights on creating access to better education
his philosophies on poverty and its impact on children’s education globally
what he means by “Just give them a hug . . . and the rest will be easy”
the mission of the Weiss Scholarship Foundation
and so much more!

Bio:

“Brett Weiss spent twenty-three years in the software business, four years running a social services organization and eighteen years as a high school social studies teacher. In 2009 he made a volunteer trip to Kenya and spent most of three weeks in the tiny village of Dago. Little did he know then that these kind and hard- working people would become a major part of his life. In 2012 he created the Weiss Scholarship Foundation. In 2017 Brett “retired” so he could devote full time to this work.

Brett created the Weiss Scholarship Foundation to give HOPE in a village where there was little hope. Six trips later 79 children from this village have been awarded scholarships. Our program sends children to high school and then to either university or vocational school. So far, we have 13 students at vocational schools and 9 attending university. This is a village where few have ever gone to high school. A key rule of our foundation is all money is divided equally between boys and girls. We do much more than just pay school fees. We have staff on the ground that make sure our students are fully supported so they can be successful.

Brett wrote a book about this work called, “Just Give Them A Hug…And The Rest Is Easy”. He looks forward to sharing this great story with you. We believe that we can create a world where every child gets a great education.

This foundation has grown a lot since Brett last spoke to the club and looks forward to sharing the story with you. We have built a great business model and are now looking to scale the model so we can help many more children.

Brett and his wife Christine are the parents of two and grandparents of two.“
