Liberté Chan Instagram - I cannot imagine the @ktlamorningnews without you, Sam. I’m shocked and heartbroken and I will always remember you as the man who could make me (and everyone) laugh with your wittiness and self-deprecating humor. You were the ultimate wordsmith, always professional, kind and approachable. My mother would always comment that you were the only one on the news who pronounced my name right — Liberté — emphasis on the é. LA just lost one of its brightest lights. You will be missed. 🙏💔 #ripsamrubin #samrubin #ktlamorningnews

Liberté Chan Instagram - Never stop dating your significant other; it makes the mundane moments, magical… I’ve found it’s the little things that make the biggest difference — wearing his favorite color, surprising him with love notes on post-its or getting dressed up when he least expects it - those small things make the biggest impact. #marriedlife #marryyourbestfriend #neverstopdatingyourspouse

Liberté Chan Instagram - Mother’s Day is a mixed bag of emotions for me. To all the mothers out there, Happy Mother’s Day. For those without a mom to celebrate in person, I feel you. My mom ruled the roost with an iron fist. She was the ultimate Tiger Mom, filling my childhood with back-to-back activities, expecting me to excel in everything from competitive sports, school and later, my professional career. While she expected a lot, she also provided a lot in terms of support and education so I could succeed. She loved hard, but in an unconventional way, without hugs and “I love you’s,”and instead, with food and extravagant trips and experiences around the world. She taught me that a woman can do anything she sets her mind to and that preparation is key, presentation is everything, always leave things better than the way you found them, take advantage of opportunities, not people, and you should never stop learning (she completed her Masters at USC’s Iovine and Young Academy in Integrated Design, Business and Technology while going through chemotherapy and was posthumously honored with a degree). At 5 feet tall, 95 pounds, she was the strongest woman I ever met. Her creativity in design was evident in every aspect of her life. I’m so grateful for the life lessons and opportunities she gave me and I know I’ll see her again once I cross over to the other side. 💛 you mom Your little 🐉

Liberté Chan Instagram - Two words to describe this next chapter of life: Peace Protection That means I will walk away from anyone and any situation that’s not loving. And I will protect my inner peace at all costs. Btw - years ago I got शान्तिः tattooed on my neck. It’s the Sanskrit word for Shanti, which was my dog’s name and means inner peace. Clearly peace is a priority… #peace #shanti #innerpeace #innerwork #walkaway शान्तिः @konstantin_noskos

Liberté Chan Instagram - Feeling stressed or anxious? Practice some mental imagery! If the ocean is soothing to you, visualize a beach like this. Imagine yourself running on the bright white sand with the warmth of the sun washing over you. Take a dip in the water to cool off and enjoy the light breeze. This can be your safe space and you can come back here any time of day… Guided imagery is a powerful tool that can help you relax and reduce stress. Studies show that mental imagery can lower symptoms of PTSD and anxiety, and it’s often used in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy; I’m a big fan of this type of therapy!) to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Creating these mental experiences in your mind can evoke real emotional and physiological responses, similar to those elicited by real experiences. On the flip side, imagining a stressful situation can raise your heart rate and induce feelings of anxiety. I don’t know about you, but I prefer to imagine a peaceful scenario that puts me in a state of calm and balance. A great online resource that can walk you through guided imagery: cmbm.org ➡️ mind body resources ➡️ resource library @mindbodymed #mentalhealth #guidedImagery #stressrelief #visualization #mindbodymedicine #functionalmedicinecoaching

Liberté Chan Instagram - Summer Uniform 🩱 Note: The first time I saw water this blue was when I was 19 years old and my parents took me on a family trip to Tahiti. The color of the water was seared into my mind and I’ve carried that core memory around like a precious treasure, always seeking to visit islands surrounded by that shade of blue. Here in Turks and Caicos, I found it again. The water is crystal clear, warm and just as striking. Another note: If you’re coming from Miami, the flight is less than 1 1/2 hours. If you’re coming from LA, there’s no direct flight. It takes almost 9 hours to get here. If you’re coming from the West Coast, my advice: stop in Miami for a day or two before coming so you break up the trip 😉 #turksandcaicosbeaches #onepiecebathingsuit #bathingsuitseason #islandstyle #travelcreator #summervacation☀️

Liberté Chan Instagram - It’s the end of May and the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, so I thought I’d take a moment to share a few things I never really talk about on this feed. 1️⃣ I struggled with depression, anxiety and extremely low self esteem as a teenager which led to self-harm, panic attacks and a decades long eating disorder. 2️⃣ After being diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety in my 20s, I was put on medication (SSRI). 3️⃣ After years of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy, talk therapy for people who experience emotions very intensely), I weaned myself off of the medication. 4️⃣ Today, I’m still in therapy, but I have a healthy relationship with myself and food. I am also much better at regulating my emotions and practice mindfulness techniques to manage my stress and negative inner dialogue. While I don’t know the exact reason why I struggled with a mental health condition for most of my life, I do know that childhood trauma (i.e., childhood abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction) most likely contributed to it. One day I’ll share details of my experience, but for now, I’ll talk about its impact ⬇️ Childhood trauma is prevalent in our society and can negatively affect us as adults.   The ACE Study (Adverse Childhood Experiences) found a direct link between childhood trauma and adult onset of chronic disease and other negative health issues.   The study found that nearly two thirds of U.S. adults reported at least one ACE, and approximately 1 in 6 U.S. adults reported 4 ACEs.   Females and several racial and ethnic minority groups were at greater risk for experiencing 4 ACEs, which can lead to a much higher risk of: physical health issues, depression, substance abuse, dementia and Alzheimer’s.   People with unresolved childhood trauma tend to have an unregulated sympathetic nervous system; they are quicker to activate and get into a state of fight or flight. Triggers can be anything from a word, an image or even a smell.   The good news is, with sufficient support, it is possible to heal from trauma and manage a mental health condition. @namicommunicate @nimhgov Study: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7226a2.htm #mentalhealth

Triggers can be anything from a word, an image or even a smell.   The good news is, with sufficient support, it is possible to heal from trauma and manage a mental health condition. @namicommunicate @nimhgov Study: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7226a2.htm #mentalhealth
Liberté Chan Instagram - It’s the end of May and the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, so I thought I’d take a moment to share a few things I never really talk about on this feed. 1️⃣ I struggled with depression, anxiety and extremely low self esteem as a teenager which led to self-harm, panic attacks and a decades long eating disorder. 2️⃣ After being diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety in my 20s, I was put on medication (SSRI). 3️⃣ After years of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy, talk therapy for people who experience emotions very intensely), I weaned myself off of the medication. 4️⃣ Today, I’m still in therapy, but I have a healthy relationship with myself and food. I am also much better at regulating my emotions and practice mindfulness techniques to manage my stress and negative inner dialogue.

My mom ruled the roost with an iron fist. She was the ultimate Tiger Mom, filling my childhood with back-to-back activities, expecting me to excel in everything from competitive sports, school and later, my professional career. While she expected a lot, she also provided a lot in terms of support and education so I could succeed. She loved hard, but in an unconventional way, without hugs and “I love you’s,”and instead, with food and extravagant trips and experiences around the world. She taught me that a woman can do anything she sets her mind to and that preparation is key, presentation is everything, always leave things better than the way you found them, take advantage of opportunities, not people, and you should never stop learning (she completed her Masters at USC’s Iovine and Young Academy in Integrated Design, Business and Technology while going through chemotherapy and was posthumously honored with a degree). At 5 feet tall, 95 pounds, she was the strongest woman I ever met. Her creativity in design was evident in every aspect of her life. I’m so grateful for the life lessons and opportunities she gave me and I know I’ll see her again once I cross over to the other side. 💛 you mom Your little 🐉

She loved hard, but in an unconventional way, without hugs and “I love you’s,”and instead, with food and extravagant trips and experiences around the world. She taught me that a woman can do anything she sets her mind to and that preparation is key, presentation is everything, always leave things better than the way you found them, take advantage of opportunities, not people, and you should never stop learning (she completed her Masters at USC’s Iovine and Young Academy in Integrated Design, Business and Technology while going through chemotherapy and was posthumously honored with a degree). At 5 feet tall, 95 pounds, she was the strongest woman I ever met. Her creativity in design was evident in every aspect of her life. I’m so grateful for the life lessons and opportunities she gave me and I know I’ll see her again once I cross over to the other side. 💛 you mom Your little 🐉

Imagine yourself running on the bright white sand with the warmth of the sun washing over you. Take a dip in the water to cool off and enjoy the light breeze. This can be your safe space and you can come back here any time of day… Guided imagery is a powerful tool that can help you relax and reduce stress. Studies show that mental imagery can lower symptoms of PTSD and anxiety, and it’s often used in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy; I’m a big fan of this type of therapy!) to change unhelpful thinking patterns. Creating these mental experiences in your mind can evoke real emotional and physiological responses, similar to those elicited by real experiences. On the flip side, imagining a stressful situation can raise your heart rate and induce feelings of anxiety. I don’t know about you, but I prefer to imagine a peaceful scenario that puts me in a state of calm and balance. A great online resource that can walk you through guided imagery: cmbm.org ➡️ mind body resources ➡️ resource library @mindbodymed #mentalhealth #guidedImagery #stressrelief #visualization #mindbodymedicine #functionalmedicinecoaching

The color of the water was seared into my mind and I’ve carried that core memory around like a precious treasure, always seeking to visit islands surrounded by that shade of blue. Here in Turks and Caicos, I found it again. The water is crystal clear, warm and just as striking. Another note: If you’re coming from Miami, the flight is less than 1 1/2 hours. If you’re coming from LA, there’s no direct flight. It takes almost 9 hours to get here. If you’re coming from the West Coast, my advice: stop in Miami for a day or two before coming so you break up the trip 😉 #turksandcaicosbeaches #onepiecebathingsuit #bathingsuitseason #islandstyle #travelcreator #summervacation☀️

Here in Turks and Caicos, I found it again. The water is crystal clear, warm and just as striking. Another note: If you’re coming from Miami, the flight is less than 1 1/2 hours. If you’re coming from LA, there’s no direct flight. It takes almost 9 hours to get here. If you’re coming from the West Coast, my advice: stop in Miami for a day or two before coming so you break up the trip 😉 #turksandcaicosbeaches #onepiecebathingsuit #bathingsuitseason #islandstyle #travelcreator #summervacation☀️

Likes : 3Liberté Chan - 3 Likes - It’s the end of May and the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, so I thought I’d take a moment to share a few things I never really talk about on this feed. 1️⃣ I struggled with depression, anxiety and extremely low self esteem as a teenager which led to self-harm, panic attacks and a decades long eating disorder. 2️⃣ After being diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety in my 20s, I was put on medication (SSRI). 3️⃣ After years of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy, talk therapy for people who experience emotions very intensely), I weaned myself off of the medication. 4️⃣ Today, I’m still in therapy, but I have a healthy relationship with myself and food. I am also much better at regulating my emotions and practice mindfulness techniques to manage my stress and negative inner dialogue. While I don’t know the exact reason why I struggled with a mental health condition for most of my life, I do know that childhood trauma (i.e., childhood abuse, neglect, and household dysfunction) most likely contributed to it. One day I’ll share details of my experience, but for now, I’ll talk about its impact ⬇️ Childhood trauma is prevalent in our society and can negatively affect us as adults.   The ACE Study (Adverse Childhood Experiences) found a direct link between childhood trauma and adult onset of chronic disease and other negative health issues.   The study found that nearly two thirds of U.S. adults reported at least one ACE, and approximately 1 in 6 U.S. adults reported 4 ACEs.   Females and several racial and ethnic minority groups were at greater risk for experiencing 4 ACEs, which can lead to a much higher risk of: physical health issues, depression, substance abuse, dementia and Alzheimer’s.   People with unresolved childhood trauma tend to have an unregulated sympathetic nervous system; they are quicker to activate and get into a state of fight or flight. Triggers can be anything from a word, an image or even a smell.   The good news is, with sufficient support, it is possible to heal from trauma and manage a mental health condition. @namicommunicate @nimhgov Study: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7226a2.htm #mentalhealth

Triggers can be anything from a word, an image or even a smell.   The good news is, with sufficient support, it is possible to heal from trauma and manage a mental health condition. @namicommunicate @nimhgov Study: https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/72/wr/mm7226a2.htm #mentalhealth

Caption : It’s the end of May and the end of Mental Health Awareness Month, so I thought I’d take a moment to share a few things I never really talk about on this feed. 1️⃣ I struggled with depression, anxiety and extremely low self esteem as a teenager which led to self-harm, panic attacks and a decades long eating disorder. 2️⃣ After being diagnosed with clinical depression and anxiety in my 20s, I was put on medication (SSRI). 3️⃣ After years of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy, talk therapy for people who experience emotions very intensely), I weaned myself off of the medication. 4️⃣ Today, I’m still in therapy, but I have a healthy relationship with myself and food. I am also much better at regulating my emotions and practice mindfulness techniques to manage my stress and negative inner dialogue.
