From Mind to Heart: Navigating a New Mental Health Landscape

Guest: Kristina Furia In this insightful broadcast, we talk with Kristina Furia, a 30-something mental health counselor who guides other millennials and Gen Zers on how to discover their “true north” and lean into their purpose through listening to their heart.  Kristina shares that the increased anxiety and depression that so many in the younger generations are experiencing these days stems, in part, from a disconnection with the heart. Many find themselves trapped in a state of hopelessness about their future, leading to loneliness and feelings of despair. Kristina helps them understand how this can be an unexpected gift because loneliness and despair can often help us go deeper inside our hearts and become more receptive, drawing in the heart’s help and insights.  Through her thriving Instagram community, @YourNewFrequency, and as a clinical psychologist and nationally certified transformational coach, Kristina helps people to self-empower and break free from the grip of a harsh inner critic to connect with their heart’s fresh perspective and intuitive direction. Kristina and host Deborah Rozman discuss how we each can learn to sense and know our heart’s voice and discern its guidance. They discuss hope, community, and the positive role that social media could play in building meaningful connections. Kristina shares her transformational journey from living in her mind to awakening to her real heart and realizing that we are all meant to live in a higher frequency, resulting in more love and aliveness. The episode concludes with a heart exercise and meditation to lift our frequency whenever we feel stuck or disconnected from others and connect with the higher vibration of our true selves.
