In this episode of Investment of Self, Kathy sits down with the multifaceted wellness coach and author, Andrew Parsons, to explore the profound territory of mindfulness, empowerment, and personal leadership in the domain of health and wellness. Andrew brings his unique perspective drawn from a rich background in coaching, hypnotherapy, and conscious workplace practices, helping clients navigate the complexities of life with clarity and purpose.
Together, Kathy and Andrew dissect the detrimental impact of mindlessness and highlight the transformative potential of maintaining a healthy presence in the moment. They take us on a journey through Andrew's thoughtful approach to wellness that bridges the gap between science, business, and holistic health. From discussing the critical importance of noticing without judgment to opening up about personal life challenges, the conversation is as deeply personal as it is universally relevant.
Andrew's passion for coaching, particularly evident in his pioneering efforts in cancer coaching services in the UK, shines through as he speaks to the significant role coaches play in various stages of illness—from detection to survivorship. The episode unpacks the concept of salutogenesis and how one can cultivate resilience through the understanding of manageability, comprehension, and meaningfulness in the face of trauma.
In this episode, Kathy and Andrew discuss:
- Mindfulness vs. Mindlessness
- Emotional Acknowledgment and Agency
- The Role of Coaches in Health and Workplace
- Conversation on the concept of wholeness and self-integration
- Exploring salutogenesis and its relevance to personal growth
