Resilient Grace: Tasha’s Journey from Addiction and Dis-ease to Healing

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks with Tasha Darwent about her journey through multiple health issues to finding her light and trusting her own intuition.

 

Highlights from today’s episode include:

Tasha Darwent  And I recognized I wasn’t my mind, I wasn’t my thoughts, I wasn’t this eating disorder, I wasn’t my emotions, I wasn’t my body, you know. I really recognized that I wasn’t all these patterns and these coping mechanisms, you know, and these stories about myself, that they weren’t the truth,

 

Tasha Darwent   I think part of my healing process so much is learning, learning to trust my own body, my own intuition, my own sense of things, more and more and more, and that’s actually been a huge component of self advocacy

 

– – – – –

Manon Bolliger  really the attitude of that connection with yourself. And you know, yes, there’s expertise, but you’re always your second best opinion about yourself, if not your first. You know, I think that’s what we have to wake up to and stop making everyone else a God, and not treat ourselves like, you know, at least of light essence.

ABOUT TASHA DARWENT:

I have over 15 years of experience in mental health support, life coaching, and addiction recovery. My career includes a decade of work at a halfway house/transitional living home and another mental health mentoring organization before founding Resilient Grace Mentoring. These roles equipped me with holistic assessment, crisis management, and client-centered care skills, enabling me to blend traditional therapeutic practices with holistic health strategies tailored to each client’s needs.

My approach is deeply influenced by my personal journey through significant health challenges, including eating disorders, mental health issues, and chronic autoimmune conditions. These experiences taught me the interconnectedness of mind, body, and spirit in healing. Discovering transformative resources like The Power of Now and Medical Medium information guided my recovery and shaped my holistic methodology. At Resilient Grace Mentoring, I combine my professional expertise with personal insights to offer an integrative approach, helping clients address their emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual health and supporting them in achieving lasting transformation.

TRANSCRIPT

Introduction  00:00

Welcome to the Healers Café. The number one show for medical practitioners and holistic healers, to have heart to heart conversations about their day to day lives, while sharing their expertise for improving your health and wellness.

Manon Bolliger  00:17

So welcome to the Healers Cafe. And today I have with me Tasha Darwent, and we’re going to be looking a little bit at her whole history and why she came up with a name Resilient Grace Mentoring. And as you’ll see, everything makes sense and starts fitting in. So I think, rather than go into a lot of detail, I mean, she has tons of experience in mental health support, life coaching, addiction recovery, as well as her own journey, which always adds a layer that learning cannot achieve. Because when you’ve gone through it, you’ve gone through it, so I’m really thrilled to have you here and to open up the discussion. So welcome.

 

Tasha Darwent  01:10

Thank you so much. Thank you so much. So nice to be here.

 

Manon Bolliger  01:14

Well, I’m going to start with a question that I ask everybody, and it and it’s really just what brought you in to some form of healing, some healing arts? Why do you want to help people? And I’m asking it in the context of today, when I believe that there’s going to be massive, significant changes in our world, and it’ll be hard for people who aren’t expecting it and who like things to be as they’ve always known them, but I think that with these changes, there’s room for creativity, there’s room for humanity, there’s room for healing in levels that we’ve never seen yet. So I kind of want to bring the discussion to that level, because a lot of people are currently in jobs that likely won’t exist, and they’ve always felt that, you know, they have it in them. They’re the ones that people come to and and then they…but they didn’t choose that, because there’s lots of reasons, right? And kind of what made you go in this direction, if you could sort of, and you can define what the direction is, because I know there’s stages.

 

Tasha Darwent  02:38

Yeah. Yeah, totally, there are stages. And I think what first comes to mind is when since a young age, since I was about 12-11, or 12 or so, I struggled with pretty intense eating disorder issues, both anorexia and bulimia, and so that was really like my biggest teacher in my life, for a long time, for decades. So that’s what was both extremely challenging for me, you know, especially as such a young person, and anyone that knows anything about eating disorders, knows there’s, you know, usually a history of trauma, sometimes sexual abuse. You know, it’s a really, you know, it’s a deep survival mechanism, you know, to survive and manage things that you don’t know how to face in another way, right? And so that, and then that kind of started to cross over in my later years into other addictions, which is pretty common for like, a dual, a dual kind of experience, because, you know, eating disorders really have an addictive quality, you know. And so when you’re looking to just kind of escape, and you don’t have any other tools to meet yourself and to show up for yourself, to kind of start to understand what’s going……
