Description
A 20 minute biweekly podcast that focuses on stress and mental health with the help of humor, compassion, motivation, positivity, & personal stories. From active discussions regarding coping with stress at home, parenting issues, relationship problems, work stress, to dealing with issues arising out of the Pandemic.The podcast was created to explore and find ways to combat the dangers of stress. At first we may find some strategies that have been employed by many counsellors and psychotherapists. But as we get to understand mental illness, and stress firsthand from stories told by those affected, we hope to gain new knowledge of some innovative ways to deal with stress. Through light and easy to understand episodes, we seek to show that stress is the root cause of a lot of the mental health issues out there. Throw in some genetics, and social-economical variables and we end up with the final by-product of mental illness. Join us each episode as we look at different faces of stress and mental illness, as we jump head first into the world of stressed out mayhem!Edward and Ingrid host this show that provides insight into mental health and how it now has become such an integral part of everyone's day to day life. We want your personal stories regarding how you are coping with stress and mental health issues. Email us at covidlifepodcast@gmail.com and share those stories with us. We'll use parts of it in future podcasts.This podcast was created by two healthcare providers that have years of experience dealing with counselling, and the treatment of mental illness. The Stressed out to the Max Podcast will have more of a humorous and lighter view of stress and mental health.

WARNING: This is a powerful meditation and will cause drowsiness and relax you fully. You may fall asleep while listening to it. Ingrid wrote this special Meditation about Inspiration to help you relax your muscles fully and to help you concentrate on goal setting and achieving your goals. The meditation is so powerful that as I was recording it, I actually fell asleep, and you can hear me snoring in parts of the podcast. That's why we recommend you avoid listening to this while driving or using heavy machinery. This meditation is good for helping you relax before going to sleep, when you are feeling extremely stressed out, or when you want to relax and set goals and help lead yourself into positive thinking. Positive thinking will help you achieve your goals and dreams. Within the Meditation, Ingrid asks you to think about an intention or goal you wish to accomplish. This goal can be anything you wish to work for. i.e.: relax more, spend more time with family, help potty train your child, get back to the physical and mental health you deserve, etc...Stressed out to the max Stressed out to the max Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/covidlife)
A fun idea for a podcast. Where we read through Harry Potter and then discuss how the reading applies to life in general. We may continue this as a side project to this podcast, or if the response is very positive make it into its own podcast. Either way we are looking at how to make giving stress free living counselling in a more fun and entertaining manner. May the magic and wonder of Harry Potter fill those voids of darkness we sometimes share. Stressed out to the max Stressed out to the max Support the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/covidlife)

We started a new feature in our podcast series: Meditation Time. Each of these episodes will discuss a new type of Meditation, and then Ingrid will lead the listener through a guided meditation. Meditation is a great way to relax, and help destress. We will be looking at many different types of meditation, and in this case we give credit to Dr. Joe Dispenza who featured this type of meditation in his book "Becoming Supernatural".
