A Moment Of Pain · Leah Parsons

**Trigger warning** This intro and podcast contains discussions around sexual violence and suicide. Please use your discretion before reading on. I was honored to be joined by Leah Parsons. I knew she had her own pain story however I wasn't aware of the full history behind her story. Leah's daughter Rehtaeh was just 17 yrs old when she died by suicide after being gang-raped and cyber-abused, placing Leah in a path of "honouring pain and becoming the voice of Rehtaeh.“ What happened to Leah's own body after this experience is the second part to this story. And how she walks with the dark and the light at the same time. Her journey is one of going inward and listening to her intuition. Leah is now walking a path of healing, offering workshops and presentations to bring awareness on topics of cyber abuse, sexualized violence, mental health, and healthy ways to walk through pain and suffering to students, educators, parents, communities, victims and their loved ones. Leah has spoken all over Canada and the US on topics including: • The impact of Cyber-abuse • Sexualized violence in our society • Mental health and suicide awareness • The spiritual journey through grief Leah now offers programs for those looking for healing both on and offline: 1. Soul Speak - the journey inward to change your mindset, honour your body, and embrace your sense of spirit (online) 2. Yoga - on and offline 3. Grief Retreats You can reach out to Leah via email leah@rehtaehparsons.ca Website: rehtaehparsons.ca Many of the documentaries about Rehtaeh Parsons are on the internet. -Web Of Lies -Un-Slut -No Place To Hide- The Rehtaeh Parson's Story

Om Podcasten

Jin Ong is medical intuitive, pattern hunter, theme breaker and messenger of truth. Trained professionally as an osteopath, psychosomatic therapist, western medical acupuncturist and herbalist. She has worked with thousands of clients. She started two bricks and mortar clinics she later went on to sell to move into the online space as a coach + mentor. She is the creator of the Release Process ® and host of The Art Of Listening To Your Body Podcast. Jin works with complex physical and emotional conditions that don’t respond to traditional or conventional therapies, including surgery. Her work also includes those with cancer, autoimmune conditions and fertility issues. She is a strong believer that your body is a manifestation of your emotional state. The experiences, events and traumas in your life are associated with an emotion that wants to be expressed and released at the time. If you don’t know how to express or rather you suppress because that emotion is inconvenient, it gets stored in your body as a source of stress. You can compensate until you can’t anymore. When it all gets too much, your body presents with physical issues: pain, injury, illness, disease; mental imbalances: anxiety, depression that overtakes your life and fears and phobias; behavioural dysfunction: addiction, excess control and discipline; as well as recurring issues playing out in your life. You don’t need to end up at this crisis point. Jin weaves in the practical and the woo to intuitively read your body and decipher the messages it has for you. Most importantly she facilitates a deeply cathartic and transformational process to empty out your emotional cup, create space for more and manifest the life you truly desire. She loves to dig deep, speak about the unspoken, and help you process unresolved emotions that hold them back from living the life you truly want. It all starts with getting comfortable with discomfort and speaking about the unspoken.
