Learning to Use our Voices: Intentional Living with Rola Ghasani

This Week on The Uplifters

In Episode 28, you’ll hear the inspiring story of Rola Ghasani, who was born in Lebanon, raised in Australia, and now lives in Texas. She was the youngest of a large family, quieted by the voices of others throughout her life. She observed the toll silence took on her mother and was determined to provide a different model for her three daughters. 

Learning to use her voice set Rola on a mission to care for her mind and body to minimize distress and disease. In this episode, you’ll learn the transformative self-care practices she turns back to daily to help her thrive and the F Method she created to help others find their voices and design lives of holistic richness.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• The links between repressed emotion and chronic illness
