  • Wait, it's been FOUR months since my LAST podcast?

    So much has happened, yet, I still want to keep going. This week's message is a big one. You have deal with your pent up emotions, because you can't move on. This episode should help you a little.

    Here is why accepting grief is valuable. In thie episode I will share THREE steps to accepting what we resist.

    Acceptance is a crucial aspect of dealing with grief because it plays a fundamental role in the healing process. Grief is a natural response to loss, and accepting the reality of that loss is a significant step towards moving forward and finding a way to live with the pain. Here are some reasons why acceptance is important in dealing with grief:

    Facilitates emotional processing: Acceptance allows individuals to acknowledge and express their feelings about the loss. This emotional processing is essential for understanding the depth of the grief and working through it.

    Paves the way for healing: Acceptance is a bridge between the initial shock and the eventual healing. It is through acceptance that people can begin to adapt to their new reality and start to rebuild their lives.

    Reduces emotional resistance: Resisting or denying the reality of the loss can prolong the grieving process and intensify emotional pain. Acceptance helps to reduce this resistance, making it easier to cope with the emotions that accompany grief.

    Promotes self-compassion: Accepting the pain of grief allows individuals to be kinder to themselves. It's common for people to feel guilty or blame themselves for their emotions during this time, but acceptance helps them recognize that their feelings are normal and valid.

    Encourages seeking support: When individuals accept their grief, they are more likely to reach out for support from friends, family, or professionals. This support can provide comfort and guidance as they navigate the grieving process.

    Fosters personal growth: Grief can be a transformative experience. Accepting the loss and the associated emotions can lead to personal growth, increased resilience, and a deeper understanding of oneself.

    Improves mental health: Prolonged denial or avoidance of grief can lead to mental health issues such as depression and anxiety. Acceptance is a crucial step in preventing or alleviating these conditions.

    Enhances relationships: Acceptance of grief can help individuals communicate their needs and emotions to others effectively. This can strengthen relationships and create a support network that helps in the healing process.

    Allows for meaning-making: Acceptance can enable individuals to find meaning and purpose in their grief. It can lead to a search for ways to honor the memory of the lost loved one or contribute to a cause related to the loss.

    Promotes long-term well-being: While grief never fully goes away, acceptance allows individuals to integrate the loss into their lives in a way that enables them to move forward with a sense of purpose and hope, ultimately leading to long-term well-being.

  • When you find yourself thinking "why me?" and experiencing negative thoughts or emotions, it's important to manage your mind and shift your perspective. Here are some strategies that can help:

    Recognize and accept your emotions: It's normal to feel frustrated, upset, or overwhelmed when faced with challenging situations. Allow yourself to acknowledge and accept these emotions without judgment. It's okay to feel what you're feeling.

    Practice self-compassion: Treat yourself with kindness and understanding. Instead of being self-critical, offer yourself words of encouragement and support. Remind yourself that everyone faces difficulties at times, and it's not a reflection of your worth or capabilities.

    Challenge negative thoughts: Question the validity of your "why me?" thoughts. Understand that life is full of ups and downs, and unfortunate events can happen to anyone. Ask yourself if there is any evidence to support the belief that you are singled out for misfortune. Often, you'll find that this belief is based on a biased perception.

    Reframe the situation: Try to reframe the situation in a more positive or realistic light. Look for any potential silver linings, lessons, or growth opportunities that may arise from the experience. Focus on what you can learn and how you can become stronger through the challenges you face.

    Practice gratitude: Cultivating a gratitude mindset can help shift your focus from negativity to positivity. Take a moment to reflect on the things in your life that you are grateful for, even amidst difficult circumstances. This can help you develop a more balanced perspective.

    Seek support: Reach out to trusted friends, family members, or a therapist to talk about your feelings and gain a fresh perspective. Sharing your thoughts and concerns with someone who can offer support can be incredibly helpful.

    Take care of yourself: Engage in activities that promote self-care and well-being. This can include exercise, spending time in nature, practicing mindfulness or meditation, journaling, or engaging in hobbies that bring you joy. Taking care of your physical and mental health can positively impact your mindset.

    Remember that managing your mind takes time and practice. Be patient with yourself and give yourself permission to experience the emotions that arise. With time, you can develop a more resilient mindset and navigate through challenging situations with greater ease.

  • Dealing with the impending death of a loved one or facing our own mortality can be an extremely challenging and emotional experience. Denial is a common coping mechanism that helps us protect ourselves from the overwhelming pain and grief associated with death. However, it is important to acknowledge and accept the reality of the situation in order to begin the process of healing and finding closure. Here are some suggestions to help you navigate the emotions and avoid denial during this difficult time:

    Educate yourself: Understanding the physical and emotional aspects of death can help you come to terms with the reality. Learn about the medical condition or circumstances surrounding the impending death. This knowledge can help you process the situation more rationally.

    Seek support: Surround yourself with a supportive network of family, friends, or professionals who can provide comfort and understanding. Sharing your feelings and fears with others who have experienced loss can help you face the reality of death and process your emotions.

    Express your emotions: Give yourself permission to experience a wide range of emotions, including sadness, anger, fear, and even denial. It's natural to have mixed feelings during such a challenging time. Find healthy ways to express your emotions, such as talking to a trusted confidant, writing in a journal, or engaging in creative outlets like art or music.

    Practice mindfulness and self-care: Take care of your physical and mental well-being. Engage in activities that bring you joy, provide relaxation, or help you feel grounded. Practice mindfulness techniques, such as deep breathing or meditation, to help you stay present and process your emotions without judgment.

    Communicate openly: Have honest conversations with your loved one or with yourself about death and the feelings it evokes. Express your love, gratitude, and any unresolved issues. Open and compassionate communication can help create a space for acceptance and healing.

    Seek professional help if needed: If you find yourself struggling to cope with the impending death or experiencing prolonged denial, consider reaching out to a therapist or grief counselor. They can provide guidance, support, and tools to help you navigate this difficult process.

    Remember, everyone grieves differently, and there is no right or wrong way to feel or process death. It's okay to take your time and be patient with yourself. Allow yourself to grieve, and over time, you will find your own path towards acceptance and healing.

  • It's a real thing, although I am not sure I have heard it call this.

    Mom Rage is when you lose your s$@! as you are trying to be a good parent and set a good example.

    Well, as you can imagine, it leaves a terrible after taste. How is you? What were you thinking?

    Shame in all aspects of our lives can be overwhelming, but our shame around how we parent and how every interaction with our kids can leave a lasting impression on them, can lead to regret and endless spiral into self judgement.

    I don't want that for you.

    So this mother's day weekend, take a listen to this episode. And remember: If it's hysterical, it's historical.

    It's your trauma response coming out to fight for you somehow.

    Give yourself grace and move on.

    You are doing the best you can.


    And remember: When you know better, you do better.


  • I was mortified: The last podcast was a DISASTER. I was so ashamed that I could not record another episode. You have to listen to this episode to know what I am talking about.

    Shame is a complex and intense emotion that can be difficult to overcome, but it is possible with patience, self-compassion, and a willingness to work through the underlying issues. Here are some strategies that can help:

    Recognize and name the shame: The first step to overcoming shame is to identify and acknowledge it. Recognize the thoughts and feelings that arise when you experience shame. Try to name the specific emotion, such as embarrassment, guilt, or humiliation.

    Practice self-compassion: Shame can be a self-critical and self-destructive emotion, but self-compassion can help counteract these tendencies. Treat yourself with kindness, understanding, and acceptance. Acknowledge your mistakes and shortcomings, but don't beat yourself up over them.

    Challenge negative self-talk: Shame often arises from negative self-talk and beliefs, such as "I'm not good enough" or "I'm a failure." Challenge these thoughts by examining the evidence, questioning their validity, and replacing them with more positive and accurate self-talk.

    Seek support: Shame thrives in isolation, so seek out supportive friends, family members, or a therapist who can provide a safe and non-judgmental space to process your emotions and experiences.

    Take action: Shame can be paralyzing, but taking action can help you feel more empowered and in control. Identify small steps you can take to move forward and make positive changes in your life.

    Practice vulnerability: Shame often arises from a fear of being vulnerable or exposing one's true self. Practicing vulnerability by sharing your thoughts and feelings with others can help build trust, connection, and resilience.

    So there you have it, if you go through what I had to go through maybe take the above steps to get over your shame.

    Before I forget: Go to www.drfaryal.com/retreat2023 to sign up for the retreat in Hawaii.

    I hope to see you then.

  • I am so excited to share my episode with you.

    Corinne Crabtree is an amazing human success story. A young mom with very humble beginnings, struggling to lose weight and find her way to happiness, she had one AHA moment and never looked back.

  • As women, we can do hard things.

    We know this intuitively, but still, some how, some where in our brain, we are told that we are not good at math; that we are not good with money.

    This is even true with women physicians. Why is that?

    This episode with my special guest Dr. Latifat Akintade will change the way you think about money.

    It was such a pleasure to listen to her story and her mission. Do not miss this episode.

    See how you, too, can do hard things.

    You can learn more about Dr. Akintade by listening to her podcast and visiting her site at www.moneyfitmd.com

  • How much of your brain power goes into deciding what you should be eating everyday?

    Do you struggle with your relationship with food?

    Do you feel like most of the time, you are pre-occupied with what you should or should not eat?

    We spend most of our adult lives as women, trying to either lose weight or eat better than before. Some struggle more than others. Our love-hate relationship with food does not get much better when faced with serious illness.

    My guest today will tell you all you need to know about what is wrong with the diet industry today. Dr. Trina Dorrah is a delightful and brilliant physician and a life coach who has made it her mission to help you break your cycle of dieting based on bad advice you were given.

  • Should you leave your employed physician role and do something entirely differnt with your life?

    Well, I did.

    It's been exactly a year. Tune in as I will share with you my personal story of leaving a well established position to follow my passion and purpose.

    I will share with you what you can and cannot do.

    Should you stay or should you leave?

    What does it take to leave your comfort zone today?

    One of our closest friend had a brush with something entirely unpleasant: thankfully it all ended up well.

    Are you living a life that if things took a wrong turn, you'd be happy you were doing what you were doing? I hope so.

    In this episode, we will dive into why this matters and why you should care.

  • I almost ran over a dog last week.

    It was horrible and I was shocked for a good hour afterwards.

    This got me thinking, if we are distracted by what is in the here and now, what are the chances that we may get into a car accident?

    Getting ourselves, our loved ones or even other people's pets in danger.

    My clients struggle with mindfulness. They think it is about meditation in a quiet room on pillows with incense burning. While that is one type of meditation, the truth is the goal is to stay focused on the here and now: not be a victim to your constant stream of thinking; to rise above your drama and narratives you may be creating.

    This week's episode, I will share with you that a good practice of mindfulness can be our relationship with our driving.

    Are you paying attention? Are you listening to a podcast? Are you deep in thoughts listening to songs that can remind you of powerful emotions?

    What if you turned all the distractions off?

    And then, What if you only listened to the ambient noise and paid attention to the speed limit changes at every turn?

  • Why do we reflect at the end of the year?

    I think, it's similar to reflecting at the end of life. Except, we're not exactly dying. Some how, this reflection offers us a clean slate. A world of possiblities. Things can go right, why can't they?

    Think about a patient who is faced with terminal cancer: The physician says there is a 5% survival rate.

    What do you think the patient believes? "I am shooting for the 5%".

    No matter how much we are plagued with negativity, end of the year brings a wind of positivity. Somehow next year could go better than this year.

    I can finally eat better. Working on my relationship with my partner, spouse, kids...

    I can get my act together and have better time management.

    There is a hope that if there is 5% chance of survival from all that weighed you down for the past decades of your life, you are going to beat it.

    So join me in this wonderful podcast where you will learn how to look at your life story (backwards and forwards) to get you to a place of acceptance and ACTION.

    And, if you want to join me to learn more about how to do just that, go to my website to sign up for the Intentional Living Coaching and Yoga program that starts TOMORROW.

  • Holidays feel like magic. Except when they don't.

    Most importantly during an experience of loss. Any loss, but mostly when we lose a loved one. Or, when we are hosting loved ones who have lost a loved one.

    When I held a virtual meeting as a support and coaching opportunity for women physicians, I was asked to make some of that information public. I am shareing the beginning of that session here with you.

    Feel free to share this with those you think may benefit from this wisdom to do less.

    You have my permission to:

    Skip the holiday cards Skip having friends over for dinner Skip going to friends for dinner Skip exchanging gifts Skip people pleasing so OTHERS feel better

    I hope this helps you in the smallest way possible.
