Episode 11 - You Can’t Get Pearls Without Sand

Host: Sam Adams

Guest: Laura Anderson 

Producer: April Munson



Join Sam as she sits down with guest Laura Anderson, a clinical psychologist based in Hawaii. Throughout this episode, Laura speaks about bridging the gap between holistic wellness and clinical wellness. Part of everyone’s journey is some struggle, some loss, some darkness, and some confusion. Laura explains of the internal benefit that we can create for ourselves by being okay with and accepting of - the messy and uncomfortable feelings in our lives all while breathing into it and making space for it so that we can know it and then escort it right out the door rather than fighting discomfort or aspiring for a life where there is no discomfort.  Afterall, you can’t get pearls without sand. 



Sam Adams is joined by Laura Anderson to discuss:


  • Not all of the research that we have can concurrently capture everything that's helpful for kids and families 
  • Shame doesn’t help anyone 
  • Going back to basics - what are your starting points for nurturing yourself? 
  • Anxiety and depression correlating with screen time 
  • Some people receive an unfair number of hard things to overcome
