Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together

Joe Bakhmoutski

When you have a difficult story in life, it is so hard to bring it out into the open and “deal with it”… Sometimes you don’t even realise just how much it’s been affecting you in your day to day – or so has it been for me. And so I am trying to make sense of it all, and in this podcast, I want to share some of the vital things that I’m learning on this journey towards healing and hope. You are not alone, my friend! I’m here for you, and you – you deserve to be happy, and let’s figure things out

#92 – Find Your True Self After Trauma

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2023/01/28

For years, I felt a part of me missing. But it wasn’t gone, only buried - in hurt, anguish, and shame. And to let it come out wasn’t easy, but it’s helping me find my own self. My true, authentic being, represented by different parts, times, hopes, hurts, and joys, it’s what making you who you are, deep, on the inside! But the journey to find your true self isn’t easy. Find a thread, a through line, connect - can take years! At least, it’s my road, path that I took alone… But you’re here, and you

2023/01/23

We often talk about stories we see and we hear, forgetting the story that matters the most: The story you tell yourself. These stories aren’t true - we’re making them up, so you might as well make it a good one: The story in which you survive, and you change, and you find your way to keep going. Because you are not your trauma, and you are never alone! We are here, with you, by your side - the people who know what it’s like to suffer. We stand here, reminder that no matter what, please hold on to

2022/12/23

Maybe you don’t think you’re an artist. And I get it - you might not feel so creative right now, you don’t have the tools, or the time… But here’s the truth: You are a survivor. And even if you don’t define what you lived through as trauma, you have seen the struggle… Be it in your life, the one that you love, it is a part of the life that we live. You’re here, in this world, today because you have found ways to be at your best, fall down, to get up, and keep going! This - it takes courage, and

2022/12/19

Life works in a mysterious way... Or so it does seem for me - especially when you stumble upon something so vital it changes your life in an instant. I’m flat, stretched out, like fish on the ocean floor. Only I can’t go up. Because there’s nothing there, is it? Not even light. I have not seen light for days. Days that add up to years. That’s how many days have I lived in those sixteen long years? Not seen or have witnessed, but lived… What is it like - to live? Is this what I’m doing right now -

#87 – Healing From Trauma: a conversation with...

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2022/12/03

When we’re hurt through life, we do not always seek the support that will help heal. In my case, it’s because I was scared of facing the past, scared the damage is done, scared of uncertainty that it brings. Life was often a struggle, and I didn’t know any better… But I sure do now! We all have this incredible capacity to heal, give and grow, despite struggle and circumstance. For all of us that have suffered, healing is we DESERVE. So the message I carry today is: Please do not wait to heal, act

2022/11/30

Most of my life, I did not dare to dream. Life happened, and I scrambled after it. Good things, god awful things, and you simply hang in there, hope things work out… But there may be a time when you hit the wall: For me, it was when my first relationship broke. She left me for someone, and I fell apart. I was constantly drinking, no sleep, waves of fear and panic would roll in… I felt further away from happy than ever before. And then one night, driving home, I stop at the red light. There’s one

The weird thing about being Alive in the moment is… It kind of sneaks up on you, doesn’t it? You’re doing the stupidest thing, and then - BOOM! You’re there, and it feels good, so good to be right here, right now… And then you surprise yourself: One summer ago, I wake early. The heat sips through everything… The house is asleep. I get the running shoes, shorts, and tee. Where to? The beach! Where else would I want to be? There’s barely a light when I hit the road. The air is still, sweet and

#84 – How To Feel Fulfilled

2022/11/16

When you feel good, this moment, today, it’s because you attach MEANING to it. And it is a choice, isn’t it? You decide what’s important, what it is you believe in, right now. Every moment, you choose, and that gives you one simple power: To find JOY. The time when you win - this is life as it’s meant to be! Even if you are going it hard, when the struggles are there, and yet… There is fire, and passion, desire to survive, and keep going! Only you create meaning in your life, my friend. Only you can

Power To Be Happy: Journey of Healing, Together ·

2022/10/30

I just heard a stunning definition of trauma from Dr Gabor Mate - it’s not the event itself that is trauma, but the psychic wound. The event can’t be changed, but healing the wound we can do right now. Because trauma can heal - and I wanted to hear that, we all do… And it does make me wonder: If your trust is betrayed, and you’re let down by your partner, a workmate, a friend, then it isn’t the event that is hurtful as much as the wound that it makes. But this act of betrayal has nothing to do with

The only time I feel a failure is when I compare myself to others. Isn’t it weird?? Life seems to be going along just fine… Until you’re struck with a vision of some success that might not even real - a happy snap, a random comment, a sideward glance when you get your coffee… It’s like you don’t even think - just stand there, frozen with doubt. Here is what most of us do when we compare ourselves to others: We downplay our own achievements, ignore the progress we made, forget the journey we’re

Where should we be the strongest in times of struggle? Home - that should be the place of solace and comfort, the place to heal. You want your partner, your loved one, your friend: To be there for you, and support you, help you get up… But is that always the case? Not for me, at least not in the first big relationship that I had: The beginning was pure bliss, but slowly, the troubles set in. We were growing apart, but I never knew how, until I got sick. The fever, fatigue, I was in bed two

My friend I wish life was fair, just and made sense, but it doesn’t always feel that way, does it? Bad things happen to good people, often without explanation, and we struggle with that: Because you want to live well, free of guilt, to dream, and believe in yourself! This is why it’s vital to find the courage and be kind to you. So many times I’m sure you care and listen to others, support them in challenging times, display compassion and kindness… And yet, you might be your own harshest critic! You

Positivity still gets a bad rap in the media, but don't we all need it now more than ever?! In this age of division, when there is so much negativity and change, we’ve got to find ways to keep going… Despite the trouble and the uncertainty when you’re expected to bitch and moan and complain - about EVERYTHING! Don’t get me wrong, life ain’t easy, and yes, we live, side by side, with the struggle, but is does this make it an invitation to perpetuate the negative message further?! Today, I see war,

There’s this weird thing that happens when you make a friend: It’s a moment of trust - when you let them into your world. Maybe you invite them over, or suggest you do something together, that first step, it’s crucial. Looking back, I find it hard to pinpoint those moments when people that I’m holding close, but what they might have in common is this - a shared experience. But what if the experience you want isn’t there? In my twenties, I did a short course on short plays. Great learning and tons of

2022/08/16

Can you find love, peace, or happiness if you don’t feel you deserve? Maybe, but it will likely be that much harder! Why? Because we tend to go for things that seem within reach. And if you don’t feel it’s real, if you don’t believe it attainable, if you don’t feel you’re ready, equipped or deserving, it’s going to be hard to find the way forward. But this feeling of not being enough can only come from one place - the PAST. Irrespective of the great things you know you love, that you brought to life

We all talk to ourselves. That’s not weird, right? It is something you do, every day, and while some days are better than others, there’s often a pattern: What you say to yourself, it’s something that helps you, pulls you up, and it gives you the hope for the future, or it’s harsh, full of angst, and it’s holding you back, further. It is hard when you care about others - you do what you can to be kind, to be thoughtful, to encourage and praise… But is that what you do for yourself? And I mean

Some people are happy - and some are not... Why is that? Maybe sometimes we look towards the things that went wrong, or you might be missing… Instead, what if make more time looking for things we treasure, the people we can’t live without? Moments that make you laugh, odd things that bring out memories, times you surprised yourself… These things, they aren’t grand, or fancy, but they bind us, the tapestry of our lives. The moment you look at it, they remind you, of who you are, what you’re proud

You know what’s worse than being scared? It’s when you feel numb - NOTHING. I look back to when I’m outside the urologist’s office, rain beating across the face. In my hands are the papers with proof of the cancer inside me. The inside is empty, and things won’t ever be the same again. This moment you’re thrust into chaos it’s when you know: A new order is what must emerge. Things won’t be the same, so how is it going to be, from this moment on?

I used to smoke. Would you believe it? It might be crazy today, but it was easy back then… Back when I was invincible. Or so I thought - and cancer, well, it was only something that happens to “other people”. And living healthy never made sense - because it wasn’t for me, I didn’t need it. But one day, it got me. When they found the cancer inside me, that made it personal. And our health, it’s something I can’t take for granted… I’ve got to take care of myself, as best as I can, so I can enjoy it
