Understanding gender and neurodiversity with disability and queer rights activist Zane Landin
I feel lucky to be able to share Zane Landin’s story with you on Vibrant Lives Podcast. Zane has many strings to his (young) bow but the message that came through very clearly in our discussion was the importance of empathy, storytelling and positivism.  For me, this episode was insightful because inclusion, acceptance and understanding are at the forefront of the minds of Zane and his peers.   Zane is a mental health and disability advocate, a queer rights activist, entrepreneur and founder and CEO of Positive Vibes Magazine, a digital magazine dedicated to telling authentic stories about mental health, wellness and inspiration.   Our discussion ranges over the importance of identity - Zane himself identifies as Hispanic, queer and disabled. We discuss how he experiences these identities and then we cover intersectionality, the interconnection between different identities.   In 2022, Zane was selected as one of 30 young people to attend the inaugural Mental Health Youth Action Forum at the White House in Washington DC and he shares his experiences there including his vision of how the media can be leveraged to impact mental health in a positive way. If Zane is one of the world’s young leaders then I feel like we are in capable hands.   ZANE LANDIN   Positive Vibes Magazine: https://positivevibesmag.com/   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/zanelandin/?hl=en Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zane-landin-b2417a187 Twitter: https://twitter.com/LandinZane SIGN UP TO MY MONTHLY NEWSLETTER Do you want to be better informed about some of the latest developments in health and wellbeing?  Is that a "yes"?

                    Quitting alcohol and finding purpose with Grey Area Drinking Coach, Sarah Rusbatch
MAR 28, 2023
Quitting alcohol and finding purpose with Grey Area Drinking Coach, Sarah Rusbatch
I am pretty excited about this episode with Sarah Rusbatch. Sarah is a Health and Wellbeing Coach, Sobriety and Grey Area Drinking Coach, Motivational Speaker and all round inspiring person!   Sarah was the consummate party girl - always ready for a drink and a big night out with friends. Gradually, Sarah found her drinking, and efforts to moderate it, were consuming her mental space, causing her some regrets and that alcohol was ultimately taking more from her than it was giving. Sarah had fallen into a pattern of drinking known as “grey area drinking”  (more on what that actually means in the episode). After attempts to quit alcohol and then relapses to her former drinking patterns, Sarah quite alcohol for good in April 2019 and the benefits to Sarah’s health, her energy levels and her relationships have continued to flow.     Sarah transformed her own life and has now helped thousands of women change their relationship with alcohol or quit drinking for good. She is an excellent example of someone whose passion has become her career.   If you are concerned about or question your own (or a friend’s or partner’s) relationship with alcohol, I guarantee this will be a very helpful episode for you.   Sarah offers Alcohol Free Challenge courses throughout the year. The next one is due to start in April 2023.   ALCOHOL FREE CHALLENGE   April Alcohol Free CHallange: https://sarahrusbatch.com/af-challenge-apr23   SARAH RUSBATCH   Website: https://sarahrusbatch.com/   The Women’s Wellbeing Collective facebook community:https://www.facebook.com/groups/342319476897067   Sarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sarahrusbatch/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-rusbatch-4b189128/?originalSubdomain=au SIGN UP TO MY MONTHLY NEWSLETTER Do you want to be better informed about some of the latest developments in health and wellbeing?  Is that a "yes"?
