Hey all, I'm back with a name change for the podcast to Doctor Anna, MD. Letting you know a little about what I've done the past ~1 year since the last podcast episode Oct. 2023.  I became Quadruple Board-Certified with my newest board certification in Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine. I tell you about what the heck that is in this short but sweet episode.  I also am going to focus this year on my clinical and research expertise in comprehensive integrative headache and pain management, as well as the most common presenting conditions of pediatric and adult chronic health conditions that may not be so known in the conventional sense.  Coming Soon!!! I'll be coming out with courses and training for physicians and healthcare professionals and others who want to learn more about how to manage headaches and pain.  My first course will be on comprehensive pediatric headache management since I focused solely on that for five years building the first of its kind headache treatment center at a pediatric academic medical center with some of my favorite colleagues. This will be out very soon!!  I'll let you know over on my website: https://www.healthispowher.com/ which will soon be changing to doctorannamd.com. Maybe at next podcast episode! You can follow me here: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctorannamd/   Talk soon, Dr. Anna  

Hi all, I just wanted to share that I am pausing the podcast until I finish my board exams in Osteopathic Neuromusculoskeletal Medicine to become a Quadruple-Board Certified Physician and be the best integrative physician and pain doctor I can be for you. I'm looking forward to training more healthcare professionals in holistic medicine, as I'll be board-certified in pediatrics, integrative medicine, medical acupuncture, and hopefully now, osteopathic manipulative medicine!

From Katie Caldwell - Occupational Therapist Meets Integrative Health Practitioner: I started my path helping others within the walls of the hospital after I graduated with my Occupational Therapy degree in 2012.  Fast forward nearly a decade, and I began to feel a pull toward helping others in a new way as I discovered more natural ways for healing. After going through my own health struggles and divorce and then feeling the most unwell I ever had-- in mind, body, and spirit--I found the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute and knew this was where I was meant to be for the next chapter of my life. I applied everything I learned in my IHP journey to my own healing and went on to create my own signature health coaching program called Mind Body Soul Reboot. This is an 8-week, one-on-one health coaching program designed specifically for divorced women.  It's been an honor to guide my clients through their journey and help them rediscover and regain their health and joy! Katie talks about how she started out as an OT, Occupational Therapist, but in her late 20s and 30s she became exhausted with fatigue, joint pain, weight gain, food sensitivities, low thyroid hormones, and mega stress.  She went through an unhealthy marriage that left her feeling "not like herself" and how she describes this period as being so physically painful to get out of bed. But after the divorce, she finally lost 30 pounds, stopped giving all her energy away to her job and to her husband. She started a liver detox -eliminating heavy metals, chemicals and inflammatory foods.  She started a gut healing protocol, changed her mindset, and started to decrease stress in her life!   Now, she has the energy to help others as a Certified Integrative Health Practitioner and has several amazing coaching programs: Learn more here: https://linktr.ee/katiecaldwellihp https://www.katiecaldwellwellness.com/ And follow her on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/katiecaldwell_ihp/  

Etienne Peirsman shares his story of how he got into Cranial Sacral Therapy, which included his own experience of self-healing and a miraculous healing of a friend. He also discussed the importance of intuitive healing and the power of Cranial Sacral Therapy to diagnose and heal. Etienne Peirsman discussed how stem cells are connected to the universal intelligence and don't think, but know what to do. He shares a story of a student and friend who were both paralyzed and were able to walk and talk again after a few craniosacral sessions. He also shares a story of a seven year old dyslexic boy who was able to read again after a few minutes of connecting to the life force. Etienne Peirsman teaches people with no knowledge of the body how to access their intuition and use conscious touch to bring instant mindfulness. He also teaches an intensive program where students go through nine courses to learn cranial therapy and deal with their own issues. He guides them through the process and helps them access the life force and release emotions. He also has online courses available, which I definitely want to attend! Check out his courses here: www.peirsmancranio.com/course/basics Etienne's Bio: Highly inspirational and respected teacher in the field of CranioSacral, Etienne Peirsman came to Cranio in a non-traditional fashion. After a a staph infection left him with nearly 20% kidney function, he found that preparing to die brought him the clarity of total silence. In a remarkable turn of events, he was able to heal his own body, which led him to travel to the Osho International Meditation Center, where he was first introduced to Cranio, during an immersive meditation and bodywork training. Etienne describes Cranio as the the closest thing to that wonderful silence he found during his near death experience, and from that time, 31 years ago, it became his life's passion. His journey led him first to apprentice at the Upledger Institute in Florida, then teach at Bastyr University in Washington and the New Mexico Academy of Healing Arts. He is the founder of Peirsman Cranio as well as the CranioSacraal Therapie Academy in Holland, where he originated the CranioSacral Professional Organization and is an honorary member of The Dutch CranioSacral Practitioner Society. Author of the pioneering book, "Craniosacral Therapy for Babies and Small Children" published by Penguin Random House, Etienne is about to publish his second book "Tantric Aspects of CranioSacral". It is truly a unique experience to learn Cranio from such a passionate, talented teacher who infuses his classes with good humor and a deep dive into stillness. He strives to use simple language that engages our spontaneity. His methods are the middle ground between biomechanics Upledger style and biodynamic Sutherland style.  In his classes, students learn to start from a no-mind space, a place where the mind can take a vacation, allowing their practice to unfold in non-duality, or what he calls the Midline. He emphasizes the power of touch to stimulate the secretion of oxytocin, a hormone that brings a feeling of oneness and values clarity as the result of being in touch with that Midline that connects us with our life-force, our true and infinite potential. Etienne travels the world with his life partner Toshiko, teaching where he is invited to share this opportunity of radical self transformation. He is also launching his first ever online class, that will have fascinating lectures and detailed instruction on all the hand placements, as a resource for students to learn and enjoy Cranio.

This is an ABSOLUTE MUST LISTEN podcast episode if you value your energy, your sleep cycle, and your optimal well-being.  Dr. Audrey Wells, MD is a wealth of the newest and evidence-based information on how to truly feel refreshed and improve sleep to improve chronic health issues, including chronic pain! A big one for me.  She discusses how women present with sleep apnea differently, and how it can easily be missed! So we have to pay attention to the symptoms including the more subtle symptoms of just some minor memory changes, a little bit more fatigue, and trouble concentrating.  Plus, some of the home tests can't detect our smaller drops in blood oxygen compared to men.   We even talk about acid reflux and how it is associated with sleep apnea! There's so much many of us don't know about how sleep is so important and connected to every health issue. Dr. Wells, MD helps so many people with sleep apnea who need to use the CPAP but struggle with acclimating to the CPAP treatment. So she uses her mindset coaching techniques to lower that internal resistance!   She also discusses how sleep lowers our pain thresholds and also increases INFLAMMATION! We review the importance of obtaining iron levels and iron storage called ferritin labs in order to make sure we get restful sleep. Because without enough iron (ferritin = 80) then we may not be in for a good night's sleep.  Dr. Wells, MD discusses several supplements, including melatonin and magnesium and how to use those appropriately (it's a bit different than we may have been taught). And she also reviews my favorite: Blue Light Blockers and what kind to get that actually works! Hint, they are super orange and do not need to be that expensive.  Dr. Wells offers some great action steps and quick tips on how to get better and deeper sleep, more refreshing sleep, so you wake up energized the WHOLE day.   I'm so excited for you all to listen to this episode. It's jam packed with everything SLEEP.  Dr. Wells is a sleep medicine physician and certified mindset coach on a mission to help people sleep better so they can feel more awake and alive all day long. She offers a group coaching program and a private Facebook community for those struggling with sleep apnea and treatment, including CPAP. She also does individual coaching for those who want to uplevel their productivity and potential by taking “too tired” out of the equation. Her sleep program is launching soon, so check her out and join today!  Check out her links below.

Dr. Haidar Al-Akhim is an ophthalmologist, but was always interested in the woo, eventually discovering that conventional medicine was boring, just pushing pharmaceutical meds. He was stuck in this “groundhog day” and he was doing the same thing over and over again.  What he realized that conventional medicine wasn't all about healing. That he was just a cog within the system. Being bombarded by regulations, rules, and  the latest drugs and how to use them. It was the power at the top telling him what to do. "I felt kind of lost going through the medical system. I knew there was something more to this than meets the eye." He was clinically depressed going through medical school. "The expectations of the parents, Iraqi community. You are considered a success if you become a doctor. There's this cognitive dissonance within you. You know it's kind of the right thing for you, but doesn't fit within you." He learned that his purpose was others' purpose. Not his story, someone else's story.  In this podcast episode, he talks about his journey far from his true self and then back again to him. And he's now sharing his story, through his his book “Physician on Fire” going through burnout, existential crisis/upheaval. He had so much voice to give to his experiences. He uses this book to help others and himself out of our suffering. "Stories are powerful."    He also started a podcast, Surgical Spirit Podcast, and connects with others, sharing unique stories to help others. To open up our perspective to others' experiences and wisdom.  Dr. Haidar Al-Akhim is a gem of a doctor. He brings so many worlds together, ultimately, healing our humanity.  I can't wait for you to listen.

I'm so excited for you to listen to this episode!  This interview was an eye opener for me as I had no idea about scalar energy.  I had heard about it from a couple friends who were using these devices that produced scalar energy and they told me it helped them sleep better and give them more stamina.  Tom Paladino is a wealth of information about scalar energy. He discusses that scalar energy is free energy from the sun and stars and fills the universe. It is our consciousness. The omnipresence energy from God. We can produce scalar energy through our thoughts, meditations, visualizations and may be the very form of energy that creates well-being.  Perhaps, this is the very energy that is used and harnessed in our mindset work, hypnosis, and prayer.  While we cannot measure this form of energy - due to not having a hertz wave form, Tesla was likely actually using this form of energy to provide free energy to the people (before it got squashed of course!).  Tune in for the story!!!   Tom Paladino created Scalar Light (TM) technology to detect, break down and eradicate certain pathogens with his scalar instruments. While this can't be validated in randomized controlled trials, he does rely on testimonials and tests before and after scalar energy.  He discussed one such case by looking at Herpes Simplex Virus (HSV) before and after scalar energy (using a simple photograph- our energetic signature). The HSV PCR was much less and even eradicated after scalar light energy.  Some people also report a sense of vitality and euphoria while doing the scalar light sessions.   Ultimately, scalar energy is the intelligence and animating force of all. And by harnessing scalar energy, we become masters of our destiny.   Tom Paladino offers 15 days of free scalar light sessions at https://www.scalarlight.com/. Just upload your photo (your energetic signature) and get started today.  I talk about my experience with it just after 10 days and found that despite working 6 weeks straight and traveling quite a bit, I didn't get sick!!! Which is very unusual for me after I exhaust myself to a pulp.  Maybe there is something to this scalar energy and I'd love to see what happens in the next week!   SHOWNOTES ---------------------------------------------------------------- I'm now offering a FREE Call with ME for women who are finally ready to heal themselves from chronic pain and autoimmune symptoms that's holding them back from moving their bodies freely and having enough energy to do all the things they love again!

Dr. Sapna Shah-Haque, Board-Certified Internist is one of my closest friends who has lived thru many dark nights of the soul and found her passion creating The Worthy Physician Podcast. To help physicians share their story about burnout, overwhelm, mistreatment, and moral injury.  I'm also one of her guests ;)  She shares her story about how much stress from medical school and residency, with attending physicians who are a part of the patriarchy of medicine, caused Dr. Sapna to develop a stutter and tremor, despite being one of the most studious, caring doctors I've ever met! When work oppresses you, chronic disease can develop, especially when you can't express your true authentic self. And Dr. Sapna discusses how academic medicine is about ego, not about being a student of life. And how the patients suffer because of it.  She describes all the tragic events and the stress of becoming a doctor led her to develop a spiritual practice of meditation combining her Catholic upbringing with Buddhism and meditation.  Dr. Sapna is a true authentic physician who truly wants to help her patients. She's the most incredibly caring soul I've ever met. And I'm so thankful for her presence, her friendship, and her love to help others.  Check out her podcast "The Worthy Physician Podcast": https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-worthy-physician-podcast/id1569259628 Her Website: https://www.theworthyphysician.com/ Her LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sshahhaque/ Her Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theworthyphysician/   I'm now offering a FREE Discovery Call for women who are finally ready to heal themselves from chronic pain and autoimmune symptoms that's holding them back from moving their bodies freely and having enough energy to do all the things they love again!

I absolutely love Hally! I am so excited to introduce her to you.  Hally Brooke is the Founder and CEO of Live Nourished. She's a Certified Functional Medicine Nutritional Counselor and Nationally Board Certified Health & Wellness Coach, and a Fox 21 Fitness & Nutrition Expert! She is so incredibly knowledgeable and just an amazing coach empowering people to transform and achieve their health and wellness goals.  Her discussion on gut health and hormone balance is so insightful, yet so simple! She talks about the 5R process: 1. Remove (remove inflammatory foods that may be bothering you, such as gluten, dairy, GMO soy, processed foods, and refined sugar) 2. Repair (our gut is only one cell thick and she talks about getting that barrier healed to decrease inflammation in the body) 3. Rebalance/Reinoculate (prebiotics and probiotics are our friend here! and we even get into the most common cause of heartburn and it's not high acid in the stomach!) 4. Reintroduce (after 30-120 days of healing the gut, it's time to start reintroducing the foods now that the gut is healed) Hally also knows about the stress-gut connection and how important the gut is for brain health! Hormone Balance: She talks about her 3-step method for us women to get our hormones back into balance. 1. Remove (remove endocrine disruptors, like phthalates in perfumes and candles and skincare products) 2.

He suggests a couple changes which I've now implemented in my daily office work and it's helping my neck pain and headache from sitting too long!! And in fact, I've been doing exercises my PT taught me that actually may have been exacerbating the problem.  Also, we dive in to low back pain and why our gait pattern may need to change. We lock our knees to hold ourselves up and this creates a big musculoskeletal imbalance that leads to pain. He has a course online both for people suffering from pain, but also for practitioners and physicians who help people with chronic pain.  This is not what's learned in our typical training as healthcare professionals, so I'd suggest checking it out.   https://rickolderman.com/ Fixing You® series of books   https://www.amazon.com/s?k=rick+olderman+books   Fixing You® Method At Home Course:  http://www.fixingyoumethod.com/  Listeners get 20% off their orders with code: FIXING YOU   Fixing You® Method for Health Professionals:   https://www.healpatientsfaster.com Use the code FIXING YOU to get 20% off   Talk About Pain Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/fi/podcast/talk-about-pain/id1593262436 ------------------------------------------------------------ Ideal Life Without Pain Quiz: If you are a woman who has struggled with chronic pain, headaches, pelvic pain, or fibromyalgia.  If you have dreams of living a normal life again, free of pain and illness.

She talks about how one dream manifested her book (though it took years of experience) to help provide a roadmap for women to find their inner truth, to come home to themselves instead of people pleasing, and the "shoulds", and all the roles and expectations women live up to.  Vanessa Loder was amazingly successful on Wall Street and got her MBA from Stanford, but what she calls "energetic breadcrumbs" and "soul whispers" led her to her true calling.  Helping women climb their own ladder and define their own success.   Vanessa knew something wasn't quite right, and didn't feel successful on the inside even though she was successful in her corporate career (what she calls climbing the wrong ladder!). She felt drained and exhausted after work, and she almost made the leap, but fear kept holding her back. Until one day, she stepped in to her true calling. And has redefined success for herself! She also learned past life regression hypnosis with Brian Weiss, MD who I'm a huge fan of! And if you don't know about his work, check our his book "Many Lives, Many Masters" Listen to this episode! She gives us so many gems on morning rituals, and meditations. She even has a free 30-day meditation in tiny bite sized amounts that you CAN do! Even for all the women out there that say they can't meditate, this is for YOU!

Dr. Nancy Wiley, a super smart woman who graduated from Columbia University and Orthondontist who practiced for 27 years, is now here on Health Is PowHer to share her spiritual truths in her new book, The Divine Trust: A Practical Guide to End Your Suffering and Find Your Way Home At the age of 12, Dr. Nancy Wiley became fascinated by how certain people seemingly manifest things into their lives --when she manifested a beautiful thoroughbred jumper for herself. After reading The Power of Your Subconscious Mind just a few short years later, she began to understand how she had manifested her own horse that she always wanted. Simultaneously, she also began a lifelong practice of meditation, includingTranscendental Meditation, Holosync (brain waive entrainment), and guided meditations with many teachers, including Jeddah Mali, her most treasured teacher, to whom she attributes the attainment of Unity Consciousness. With her continuing experience and ever-growing confidence in navigating through her inner realm, she was able to reach a state whereby she no longer suffers, no matter what life presents. Her Trust in Source has become unshakeable.  From direct experience, she is now absolutely certain that there is a Divine Presence that wants everyone to know It and Trust It. As a scientist, she has used the field of Quantum Physics to lend a left-brained understanding to what her profound peak spiritual experiences were and how they were possible. After witnessing what she considered a miracle --when her mother was instantly healed from an advanced stage of breast cancer --Dr. Wiley subsequently became a Reiki Master. She now practices many other forms of energy medicine, some of which include EFT (Tapping), Spring Forest Qigong, and Diamond Feng Shui.  In this episode, she discusses how she was guided to write this book, The Divine Trust. To give you the message that you are protected, safe, loved and that everything is unfolding to support you right this very moment.  There wouldn't be any worry, anger, frustration, misery, guilt, shame or any of the other negative emotions, suffering and mind loops that disturb your sense of peace, gratitude, success, wonder and love. And it's all about trusting yourself, your divine spirit, so that you can journey through this life at peace! You can order her book HERE and get her goodies at DivineTrustBook.com that go along with the book when you buy! ---------------------------------------------------------------- She has an amazing Masterclass if you want to learn more from her:   Master Class: The Seekers Journey/ Living Life with Ease and Grace We are all on a journey whether we know it or not. But chances are that if you are reading these words, you already are aware and you have many questions about life. Wouldn't it be great if we had a mentor who could guide us along our path, a person to go to ask questions especially when we are just starting out? I know I wished I had a mentor like this, someone to go to who had figured out many answers to the questions of life. That is why I am have made available a 3 part, one-hour forum that was prerecorded in June of 2022. Here is what we will be discussing: Understanding the design of life to explain the meaning of current events and why they are happening. How these events might bring fear and anxiety and what you can do to lessen your fear. Understanding the foundation of all spiritual practices, miss this one step and you will be building your foundation on shaky ground. Once you get it, you will have a firm ground from which to build your life. Listening to your own intuition and trusting yourself enough to make better decisions for your own life. Through both a short explanation and then a question-and-answer segment, you will leave with a much better understanding of why events unfold as they do. You may be able to breath a little easier and even feel or sense the grace of life. All are welcome! And All are held in a safe and peaceful place! The only prerequisite is an open heart and willingness to see things differently than you have in the past.

This episode is one of my favorites as we talk about one of my favorite therapies, hypnosis and getting to the root cause of why we feel sick, tired, and limited! Christina Woods is a Certified Hypnotherapist and CEO and Founder of Wise Woods Hypnotherapy and Coaching.  You will learn in this episode how to truly heal yourself engaging with the field of possibility and overcoming limiting beliefs that keep you stagnant.  Christina discusses how she approaches each person individually to help them find the root of their symptoms, whether it be epidemic of "I'm not enough" to believing in the shoulds and should nots from childhood.  Using hypnosis, a self-regulation meditative strategy, can help you uncover these blocks and negative programs that lead to illness and limitations. And with the power of changing your beliefs and thoughts about yourself, can you truly be successful, connect with your authentic self, bring out your true essence and the real you. And that "You" is limitless and more powerful than you know. She talks about changing careers at a later stage in life from her 30-year corporate education career to becoming a Reiki Master, Hypnotherapist, and Coach combining her true gifts to serve others. I definitely vouch for her and would absolutely love to have her in the office working as a team.  I can't wait for you all to get to know her in this podcast episode.

You are going to love this jam-packed episode with Dr. Alyssa Dweck, OB/GYN and now practicing gynecology specialist in the field of menopause, vaginal, and sexual health.  She is also Chief Medical Officer of Bonafide, a company that provides women with natural supplements that Dr. Dweck has found to be excellent in her practice.  She is a breath of fresh air for those of us dealing with so many of these women's issues and helps guide us on the right path to feeling better.  Dr. Dweck guides us on her approach to getting through menopause without suffering hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, and sleep issues. She discusses so many different options, from non-hormonal therapy to supplements and lifestyle changes. I learned so much about vaginal health and what products are not so great for down there and some suggestions to keep that area and vaginal microbiome healthy. Resolving vaginal discharge, itchiness, yeast infections, and more.   Clairvee is one women's health probiotic that I might just try out to give my vaginal microbiome a little diversity. Dr. Dweck discusses the studies on this probiotic are quite powerful.  Dr. Dweck delves into sexual health and outlines an amazing approach for those women who have pain during sex, poor libido, or other discomfort surrounding sex.  We also discuss pycnogenol as a supplement that helps improve blood flow - which is a major benefit for orgasm and sexual health.  Ristela is one of the supplements that she supports.  She discusses pelvic pain, vaginal pain therapies including a hyaluronic acid moisturizer to use 2-3 times per week: Revaree is one of those hyaluronic acid ovules inserted into the vagina on HelloBonafide.com and can be used instead of other pH disrupting moisturizers or lubricants.  Send to your friends as there's so much information here about our women's health and even if they're not dealing with any vaginal, sexual, or menopausal issues - Dr. Dweck discusses a lot on prevention and keeping ourselves healthy through our life cycles.  Dr. Alyssa Dweck has two amazing books out there with her co-authors for women's health, check them out below: The Complete A to Z for your V  The Sexual Spark V is for Vagina Shownotes HERE -------------------------------------------------------------- Our Brain Health Integrative Guide is gone, to make room for a FREE Integrative Wellness Course Module on "How To Aromatherapy for Women's Wellness".

Depression, or what is termed medically as major depressive disorder (MDD), is so incredibly multi-faceted that there isn't just one path to healing for everyone who has it.  And yes, you can heal from depression.  There is a small genetic role ~ about 1/3rd of it in some twin studies, but the other 2/3rds is largely environmental, situational, biological, generational, nutritional, spiritual, emotional, metabolic, immune, and so much more.   I talk a little about my experience healing from depression, as a physician, and what it all meant for me.   And then I discuss some of the lesser known therapies (outside of the standard of care of anti-depressants and therapy) that have been studied for major depressive disorder, including acupuncture, hypnosis, aromatherapy, light therapy, saffron, and st. john's wort.

There are so many times in my life and my patients' lives that we can feel lost, meaningless, and broken. You may feel totally ungrounded, disassociated from everything, distanced from other people, directionless, and without answers to how to fix it. It sometimes feels like a gray cloud surrounding you. And you feel like no one understands you, and you feel like you are alone.   But you're not. Because even the most energetic, willful, motivated people can experience this moment. Including me.  When you feel lost, you are meant to be found.   When you feel broken, you are meant to be whole.  This episode dives into five ways to overcome this challenging emotional state.  Shownotes HERE -------------------------------------------------------------- Our Brain Health Integrative Guide is HERE!

Choi is a must read for those who want to come into their power and connect with their higher self despite the trauma and damage we've all been through.  Winnie is so open and vulnerable with her deepest wounds and how she has transformed into the most beautiful and gifted healer.  This book contains all that we at Health Is PowHer want for each and everyone of you. A life full of abundance, health, connection, and beauty! I highly recommend this book for each and everyone of you!   You can check it out and purchase here! Please write a review after you read!

This episode is all about bringing light to your amazing self - building self-confidence and faith in oneself to share your love and truth with the world.  We are surrounded by demands and guidance from our co-workers, bosses, leaders, husbands, wives and friends.  Sometimes, we give up our autonomy to these individuals, either because it's easier, or we think we're not good enough as them. They have their opinions and demands of you that might not match your well-being and life force. Our self-esteem and confidence go the wayside when this happens leaving us without our own energy to sustain us. It's like we're giving up our energy to everyone else and not keeping any to ourselves.  Trusting yourself is about having faith in yourself, setting boundaries so you can manage your energy better, and believing in the magic in your veins.  The more you trust yourself, the more energy you have to be your authentic true self and live your truth.  You start to listen to your body more, decrease overwhelm and feelings of being frazzled and exhausted.  Hope you enjoy this episode!!!

If anyone has ever worked in their life, then I'm sure they've experienced manipulation or the feeling of being used, influenced, or worse - coerced. Emotional manipulation is a common method to control or influence others, potentially exploiting vulnerabilities, experiences, triggers and past traumas.  Manipulation is fairly common in the work environment and within relationships - friendships, partnerships, marriage. However, many of us feel violated when being manipulated or used without our consent.  We get angry, ashamed, and then guilty for getting angry and allowing the manipulation. Maybe we've encountered so many of these people before, letting them into our lives, always hoping for the best, but they always somehow disappoint.   In this episode, we discuss that manipulation is an energetic drain on you and we give you the tools to shield yourself and take back your power!

This is a MUST listen!  Jessie Kanzer talks about her new book coming out March 1st, 2022 "Don't Just Sit There, Do Nothing: Healing, Chilling, and Living with the Tao Te Ching".  She brings amazing insight into the foundation of health and wellbeing. And she has one of THE BEST presentations of "The Way" - The Tao Te Ching.  I was so excited to read this book. I hope you find that it resonates with you as Jessie is an incredible light for many of us who need to connect with our power and innate wisdom to heal.  You can find the book and lots of goodies on her website at www.jessiekanzer.com Get the book and when you're done write a review, as she has so much to share with the world!! More about Jessie Kanzer: Jessie was born in the Soviet Union as Asya Bronfman—a little Jewish girl living in a communal apartment with four families, one toilet, and a rickety old bathtub in the middle of the kitchen. Her grandparents had survived the Holocaust and her parents continued to struggle under anti-Semitic policies. They sought asylum in the U.S., waiting in Italy and in Austria, and finally made it to Brooklyn in 1989. As an 8-year-old refugee who only spoke Russian, Jessie (who was still “Asya” then) yearned to fit in. She changed her name and much about herself. Later though, she experienced depression, an eating disorder, and all sorts of existential problems. She pursued Hollywood fame, men, and the American Dream, but always fell short. Until she stopped. In figuring out how to better herself and her life, Jessie picked up a bucket-full of tools that she now shares with others—including the Tao Te Ching, which she's studied for years and which inspired her upcoming book. Her work has appeared in the Washington Post, New York Daily News, Wall Street Journal, The Independent, the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Huffington Post, Ravishly, and Romper. She lives with her husband and daughters in Dobbs Ferry, NY SHOWNOTES HERE --------------------------------------------------------------- Our Manifestation 4-Step Hypnosis Recordings is Still Available on Our Website for a Limited Time You can sign up here! ------------------------------------------------------------------ We hope you enjoy the episode and if you do, please SUBSCRIBE, RATE, and REVIEW So you can help us increase our reach to help more women awaken their best selves, have more energy, and live the life they dreamed of while healing and recovering from any pain and health issues! ----------------------------------------------------------------- Be on the lookout for the foundational coaching masterclasses this coming new year!

Don't you feel exhausted by the end of the week or on the weekend after a week of stress, worry, conflict, or even doing things that don't light your inner fire. That's why many of us feel so tired – because we're pulled in multiple directions, giving away more of our energy to others, healing them instead of ourselves.   Anxiety can be a symptom of this energy drain. When we are worrying about a situation, another person, we are giving our energy away to that situation or person. When we ruminate over how another person thinks of us, we are giving our energy away to that person.  In this podcast episode, we review several methods how to shield ourselves from this "Energy Drain" and release it every single day!
