Ep 6 - Healing Together: Celebrating World Refugee Day (June 20th) w/ Ny Derry

Her journey has been one of resilience and strength, embodying the mantra "Believe in Yourself." Her experiences have shaped her into a beacon of hope, and her words are a soothing balm for those seeking encouragement and inspiration.

Our guest is an expert at guiding individuals through challenges she has personally overcome over the last 30 years, such as healing from physical abuse, regaining focus and motivation, adopting a healthy lifestyle including nutrition, and embracing overall wellness. She excels in balancing these pursuits with a sense of fun and instilling belief in oneself. Additionally, drawing from 10 years of study in positive psychology, she specializes in understanding and applying the principles that promote well-being, resilience, and personal growth.

Positive psychology, which she has studied extensively, is about focusing on the scientific study of strengths and virtues that enable individuals and communities to thrive. It emphasizes cultivating positive emotions, strengths of character, resilience, and meaningful relationships.

Rather than solely addressing mental illness, positive psychology explores factors that contribute to a fulfilling and flourishing life.

Ep 3 - Finding Joy Amidst Challenges with Saralynn Downing

Pure Mending, hosted by Linda Than, is a podcast that delves into the triad of happiness: Health, Wealth, and Relationship Transformation. As a single mother by choice, I bring a unique perspective to the discussions, offering insights into overcoming self-sabotage, navigating trauma healing, and addressing the impact of addiction within my family.



Embarking on a journey from studying massage therapy to the evolution of Pure Mending, each episode covers various aspects of healing, including childhood trauma, signs of repressed trauma, and supporting others through their healing process.



Creating a supportive space for discussions on trauma is crucial, and I encourage listeners to share their stories. The podcast aims to break the silence surrounding these topics, providing inspiration, guidance, and a sense of community, especially for single parents.



Future episodes will explore diverse topics, such as first-generation immigrant struggles and coping mechanisms without therapy. Throughout the podcast, we touch upon themes like "healing all parts of us," "healing journal self-care + self-improvement," "traumatic experience poems," and "childhood traumatic experience resilience rising."



As a single parent, I share valuable insights into navigating challenges and offer a positive perspective on single parenthood. The podcast also addresses mental health, featuring discussions on resilient happiness, self-improvement, and the importance of self-care.



Listeners are invited to join my exclusive Facebook community, and future episodes will delve into single parent family pictures and mental health. The podcast concludes with a preview of the next episode on first-generation immigrant struggles.

Ep 2 - Overcoming Self Sabotage and Navigating Trauma Healing

You're tuned in to Pure Mending, where we explore the Trio of Happiness: Health, Wealth, and Relationship Transformation. I'm your host, Linda Than.

This show is for individuals on a journey of personal growth, healing, and breaking the silence, especially single parents. We provide inspiration, guidance, and a supportive community for a resilient and fulfilling journey.

As we start this adventure, let's remember our guiding mantra – "Try something new, something different." It's not just a saying; it's an invitation to step into the unknown and discover your inner power. In a society that sometimes suppresses personal expression, especially for older generations taught to endure silently, this podcast breaks free from emotional suppression. It's a space to express the unspoken, give emotions the recognition they deserve, and empower others to do the same.

Here, we recognize the necessity of survival actions but also shed light on the importance of reclaiming one's narrative. Together, we explore the transformative power of breaking personal silences, finding strength in vulnerability, and building a supportive community that understands the profound impact of untold stories.

Feeling nervous and overwhelmed, but driven by the mindset that we won't know until we try! Today marks the start of a deep exploration into personal growth, healing, and the courage to break the silence.

Join me in the next podcast episode, where the story unfolds, and we illuminate the path to healing. I can't wait to connect with all of you! 🌟
