My guest this week is Mary Hoang. Mary is the head psychologist and founder of The Indigo Project, Australia's largest and most progressive psychology practice. Working as a psychologist for a youth charity early on in her career, Mary observed the stigma surrounding her profession often prevented young people who needed support from seeking it. Combining a creative approach to psychology, alongside a refreshing willingness to be open with her own struggles, Mary has helped open up the conversation about mental health and wellbeing. Through a combination of 1:1 therapy [including online sessions], workshops, events and online courses, Mary and the team at The Indigo Project help you “get your shit together”
In this episode we discuss:
- Why it’s import to think creatively about mental health and wellbeing
- How being vulnerable invites deeper connection
- Why it was important to Mary to dismantle any hierarchy between therapist and client
- Holistic approaches to mental health
- Why finding your Purpose isn’t as difficult as you think
- The role of music, dance, breathwork and meditation in helping us move from head to heart
- Simple self-care practices that support human flourishing
- How we can access more joy, awe and wonder
- And so much more…
Books mentioned during this conversation:
- Lost Connections - Johann Hari
- Phosphorescence On Awe, Wonder and Things That Sustain You When the World Goes Dark - Julia Baird
