The Inquisitive Wren Podcast

16/07/2024

This week I am joined by Author Leif Gregersen Leif Gregersen who supports and educates others about mental illness. Leif has a fascinating story and he joins me today for a very candid and honest discussion about his life and he uses his own experience having been in psychiatric hospitals and diagnosed with schizo-affective disorder, bipolar disorder and anxiety, to help others to understand what they might be going through, how and when to seek help, how medication can help, and how to manage your daily life. Leif states that mental illness is not a death sentence, you can get help and many people learn to manage and lead active lives. Leif has done extensive research into his diagnosis and mental health, and we are very privileged to have him on the show today to share his experiences. Leif is published in the British Journal of Psychiatry, see links below. Be sure to go his website, and check out his books which are a fantastic read. One of his books, 'Alert and Oriented x 3: A snapshot of severe psychosis' talks about his stay in a psychiatric hospital along with his clinical notes. Leif actively supports the Schizophrenia Society of Alberta Canada.

*NEW EPISODE* Sunday 30th June at 7 pm GMT/3 pm EST.
M.K. (Kathy) McDaniel is the author of the memoir, “MISFIT IN HELL TO HEAVEN EXPAT”. Whilst dying from lung failure in 1999, she was placed on a ventilator and put into a drug-induced coma. A distressing Near-Death Experience (NDE) occurred and, although mostly traumatic, she also experienced the overwhelming bliss of Heaven which shifted her religious beliefs to a deep spirituality. Kathy credits the members of IANDS (International Assn. for Near-Death Studies) for her eventual integration of the distressing NDE, and the ability to accept the sacred mission that caused her reluctant return to Earth. She now shares her experience, and its messages, as a guest on various media, and via her memoir, “MISFIT IN HELL TO HEAVEN EXPAT”. Join me as Kathy and I discuss her distressing near death experience, how she came back, what she saw and how she felt, and how that experience continues to affect her today.

*NEW EPISODE* Today at 7 pm GMT. This week I am joined by Sankarshan Das, a spiritual teacher, musician and author of the book, 'The Divine Love Memoir'. As a college student in the 60’s, Sankarshan Das was depressed, not satisfied that the textbooks and teachers he read could not provide the answers to the meaning of life. He decided to drop out of the material world and became a holy beggar in India. But on the way there on one astounding evening he realised that denying everything would ultimately mean denying denial itself. Instead of renouncing the world, he decided to revolutionise it. So instead of heading east, he headed west as a hitch-hiking, guitar-toting hippie on a world mission. He proceeded to write hundreds of songs and shared the stage with some of the most popular rock bands of that era. But more than that success, he craved spiritual enlightenment. This desire ultimately brought him to the realisation of the highest truth. He continues as an author and speaker on his mission to revolutionise this planet. As a Hare Krishna, he shares with us as we enter conversations about the meaning of life and his journey towards the Hare Krishna source of enlightenment.

Mental health awareness is daily. Being aware of how you feel, if you’re feeling out of sorts or feeling very good, both are essential to your learning about yourself and how you operate daily. Journals are a great tool to use to monitor feelings, thoughts and emotions. You’re worth the effort. Take care of yourself.
