CTW S2E07 - Own Yourself, with Dr. Kelly Brogan Dr. Kelly Brogan is a holistic psychiatrist for women’s health. Despite her many years as a medical practitioner, Kelly knew she wasn’t prepared for a life dependent on pharmaceuticals, so, when she was diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, she opted to pursue an alternative to drugs and found the world of natural self-repair. After two and a half years and a pregnancy, she was finally able to remove the shackles of her symptoms. Kelly is now on a quest to help women live healthier and happier lives independent of pharmaceutical drugs. Her books, A Mind of Your Own and Own Yourself, reveal truths about depression and the ways women can reclaim their lives. Through her work, Dr. Brogan breaks down the myths and misconceptions about health and wellbeing that keep women sick, confused, and drug dependent. Kelly joins me in today’s episode to discuss how women can own themselves - their minds and their bodies. She defines the meaning of grief and explains why society avoids experiencing it. She explains how women can reclaim a sense of power over their health and lives. She also describes the different phases of life that women go through and personal experiences of self-victimization and reclamation. “The most powerful form of activism today is an informed woman taking care of herself.” - Dr. Kelly Brogan This week on Coffee Table Wisdom: Kelly’s definition of grief and why society avoids it How to continue growing psychologically and spiritually throughout the ages The best way women can reclaim and own their lives How self-victimization prevents us from owning our lives Kelly’s personal story of self-victimization and reclamation Creating a life between motherhood and old age Connect with Dr. Kelly Brogan: Kelly Brogan Kelly Brogan on Twitter Kelly Brogan on Facebook Kelly Brogan on Instagram Kelly Brogan on YouTube Join the Revolution!
