Chaos 2 Cured with Kirk Patrick Miller, Embrace Your Neurostyle Series

It is such an honor to have Kirk as a guest to hear about his new podcast and his gratitude for his journey from chaos to cured.

Are you ready to be inspired and walk away with some mental health hacks, tips, tools and more?

Listen here:

Kirk Patrick Miller is an award nominated author and violinist. Suffering with bipolar one, ADHD, OCD, and generalized anxiety, his life was upended when he refused to give in to the diagnoses he was labeled with. After becoming the first medically documented case of full remission from bipolar, due to his unique endocrine treatment method he was asked to write his memoir, “Chaos to Cured.”
Now, ten years after writing his memoir he stands as a testament to hope and perseverance. Stable and successful, Mr. Miller runs a music institute, is a professional painter, author, speaker, and radio personality.
His desire to help others find hope comes from being granted a second chance he believes everyone deserves. First and foremost he stands against shame and judgment of any kind.
Mr. Miller believes that each and every individual can attain their potential with work, faith in themselves, and the understanding that what is often seen as a weakness is actually our greatest source of power. He stands firm in his belief that the key to living a fulfilling life is in accepting and loving the person we are, all while turning our hardships into wisdom, love, and compassion for all.

Priorities! On Staying Sane

What are your priorities?

As many of us are coming off the Thanksgiving holiday and going into December I am finding a “less is more” approach to finishing 2022 strong and with intention.

How are you taking care of yourself? Who is in your trusted inner circle? How are you showing up for yourself and loved ones?

Every day is a chance to hit reset and to do a life review.

After an amazing time with family last week I have an even DEEPER clarity of how I want to prioritize my time for optimal mental, physical & spiritual health.

Be gentle and intentional with yourself.

On Staying Sane: Gratitude Is My Secret Sauce

Many people are experiencing the fall flu, seasonal sadness, financial strife, hopelessness about world events and in general feeling “off.”

The Sssh Yourself episodes are ironic now as I needed to take a pause from recording as I had patient, personal and family emergencies in the last few weeks.

Today as I rallied to see clients while on the mend I wanted to share with all of you that while in  CRISIS mode the POWER of GRATITUDE saves the day.

#drdeniseshow #rockingabetrayal #sociopath #mythbusting
I was profiled/targeted in 2017 by a sociopath.
Judgment won 2018.
FBI contacted 2019.
Others warned.
Ponzi Scheme (ish).
Burner phones.
Threats.(life threatening)
A knock on my door recently happened again related to this case.
Matrix style.
It was a “red pill vs blue pill” moment.
I called BS in lightning ⚡️ speed.
Someday the ENTIRE story will be revealed, all in Divine Time.
I was undersestimated.
Just go to “The Alchemy of Betrayal” episode~ there are multiple episodes and links to #hewhoshallnotbenamed
The Mastery of such an experience by going INTO the suffering to ALCHEMIZE into > LOVE is the SWEET SPOT.
#alchemy #everythingisenergy
I have had many guardian angels along the way.
2022 has been NEXT LEVEL as I Absolutely Tolerate NO BS.
Be AWARE when someone’s words, thoughts and actions do NOT match up.
Remember to TRUST your Intuition & get the DATA.
&
Surround yourself with others with a VIBRATIONAL MATCH of INTEGRITY.
Stay Tuned.

Real Life, School Safety: On Staying Sane Series

Let’s face it the stress of every day life is real, especially for our children in these unimaginable times of mental health crisis and the rise in school shootings around the world.

This is a vulnerable share show recorded on 11/5/22 right after an open forum zoom meeting with my son’s school administration after a school threat this past week. Thankfully everyone’s safe and mental health counseling was available for everyone.

I chose to keep my son home as he was also fighting off a cold and it gave me a lot of time to allow him to unpack his feelings and for us to get closer in these trying times that all of us are experiencing.
