Send us a textIn this rare and intimate episode, host NatNat steps into deep vulnerability—becoming the client in a live Akashic Record reading with energy healer Bree Dela Cruz.What unfolds is a powerful journey through past lives, ancestral gifts, and the unspoken fears that keep us playing small.Bree reveals Nat's past life as a solitary mountain climber—a mirror to her current spiritual ascension and the courageous process of releasing relationships that no longer align with her soul's frequency. The reading confirms a truth Nat has long suspected: her healing hands are a generational gift, passed down through her maternal lineage.Most profound is the validation that Nat's intuitive healing extended the life of her dear friend Natalie—who lived far beyond medical expectations after a terminal cancer diagnosis. That moment becomes a catalyst: external proof that her spiritual gifts are not imagined—they are embodied.Both Nat and Bree share deeply personal healing stories that defy conventional medicine:

But Viv reframes it as divine revelation—clearing out what's no longer rooted in truth so we can rebuild from soul.

A Conversation on Grief, Parenting, and the Return of HappinessThis profound episode of Lift One Self with host NatNat welcomes grief advocate Marie Alessi, who faced unimaginable heartbreak when her husband suddenly passed in 2018 while she was raising two young sons.Rather than accepting grief as a life sentence or a hole that never heals, Marie shares a radical yet tender perspective: grief is a visitor — sometimes present, sometimes gone, always allowed, never permanent. "Sometimes Joy goes to the markets when Grief visits," she shares, "and sometimes they sit together."Through the lens of personal loss (including the death of her father at age 20), Marie opens up about raising emotionally safe children, creating rituals of remembrance, and allowing herself — and her family — to feel everything without shutting joy out.From laughter at funerals to annual family celebrations honouring her late husband, Marie challenges cultural taboos around grief. She reminds us that healing is possible and joy is not disrespectful to love.If you're ready to reframe your relationship to grief and soften into joy without guilt, this episode offers profound wisdom.→ Visit Marie at mariealessi.com to explore her books, TEDx talk, and personal coaching.Support the show
Send us a textPermission to feel shouldn't be something we need to ask for, yet we've created a culture where expressing authentic emotions feels like crossing a boundary. Why do we apologize before sharing our sadness? Why do we preface vulnerability with disclaimers? This episode dives deep into our collective discomfort with the full spectrum of human emotion.We've constructed a tiny, polished box where only happiness and productivity fit, making "okay" mean something artificially limited. But what if "okay" could be bigger? What if feeling sad was simply information, fear was your nervous system doing its job, and overwhelm was just a natural response to a complex world? When authenticity becomes radical instead of normal, we've lost something essential.The most powerful realization is that everyone struggles—even those who seem to have everything together. The person who appears perfectly composed also cries in parking lots; the one who always seems fine also lies awake at 3AM with racing thoughts. We're all pretending to be the polished version of ourselves when what we truly need is to remember that messy is okay too. This episode offers a practice for giving yourself permission to experience your full humanity without apology, without explanation—just truth. Because your humanity doesn't need a hall pass. It just needs space to exist.Take a moment to check in with yourself. Notice what's happening in your body without trying to fix it. Remember: be kind and gentle with yourself. You matter, and time is a tool, not a toy. Use it wisely.Support the show
Send us a textWhat happens when you bring together a nervous system expert and a Harvard-trained psychotherapist who survived flesh-eating disease? A profound conversation about the true nature of healing, resilience, and self-discovery.This episode opens with a guided mindfulness practice that immediately demonstrates how we can create space between awareness and thoughts—a foundational skill for genuine transformation. As Harvard-educated psychotherapist Madelaine Weiss shares her remarkable journey, we discover how her insatiable curiosity and personal challenges shaped her unique approach to helping others "make their dreams come true."Through vulnerable storytelling and scientific insights, Madelaine reveals why perception is so limited yet we cling to our narratives as absolute truth. "Out of 11 million bits of information our senses receive every second, our conscious mind processes only 5 bits," she explains, illuminating why genuine curiosity and openness are essential for growth. Her near-death experience with flesh-eating disease offers a powerful reframe: "Every single one of us has already lived through everything we've ever been through"—a simple but profound reminder of our inherent resilience.The conversation reaches its emotional peak when discussing faith, revealing it's not about avoiding pain but maintaining an open heart regardless of circumstances. This episode brilliantly demonstrates that true healing is an inside job, not dependent on external circumstances changing but on our relationship with ourselves transforming. You'll walk away with practical insights on navigating uncertainty, processing difficult emotions, and accessing your innate capacity for joy even amid challenges.Ready to discover the warrior within?

Send us a textWhat if the place you've been trying to get back to is actually you? Not the you that pleases others or performs for acceptance, but the raw, honest, wildly worthy you beneath all the conditioning. This essential question forms the heart of a deeply resonant exploration into authentic selfhood.Many of us equate power with cutting people off or establishing firm boundaries—valid steps in our healing journey. Yet deeper than that lies a more profound truth: real power isn't about controlling how others treat you but about fearlessly embodying who you truly are. When you stop second-guessing every word and gesture, when you simply allow yourself to be felt rather than performing what you think others want, something remarkable happens. Your presence lands differently. Your energy speaks a language beyond words.This episode guides you through the difference between intellectual understanding and embodied wisdom, offering a gentle mindfulness practice to reconnect with your essential nature. We explore how tenderness isn't weakness but a different kind of strength—one that holds clarity and doesn't need to shout to be known. For those feeling overwhelmed by the demands of human-made systems and expectations, this episode offers a sacred reminder: you don't owe these constructs your soul. Your body carries the waters, minerals, and breath of the earth to which you truly belong. When the world feels too loud, too rigid, or too demanding, you can always return to breath, to body, to soul—to you. There's no place like that.If this resonates, please like, share, and leave a review. It helps others find this space and lets me know these words are landing where they're meant to.Support the show
Send us a textUnlock Hidden Childhood Blocks: A Live Hypnotherapy BreakthroughVulnerability takes center stage as podcast host Nat bravely undergoes a live hypnotherapy session, revealing the childhood roots of her creative blocks. This intimate exploration with RTT hypnotherapist Karoline Fisher offers listeners a rare glimpse into the therapeutic process that connects present struggles with past experiences.The session unfolds with Karoline guiding Nat into a relaxed, suggestible state through mindful breathing and visualization. What follows is a powerful journey into two pivotal childhood memories: being publicly criticized by a teacher at age nine, leaving her feeling "stupid" and "small," and having spontaneous joy shut down at age four, teaching her that openness and expressiveness weren't safe.Through Carolina's expert guidance, we witness Nat express emotions her younger self couldn't articulate, reframe limiting beliefs, and integrate these healed aspects of her inner child. The transformation is palpable as Nat describes feeling "lighter" with physical sensations of release.Beyond the personal journey, this episode serves as a masterclass in understanding how our subconscious mind works. Karoline explains that hypnotherapy isn't about being asleep but accessing deep suggestibility—demonstrated when Nat's body physically responds to the mere suggestion of tasting lemon juice. This mind-body connection reveals how deeply our thoughts influence our actions and capabilities.For anyone struggling with creative blocks, procrastination, or feeling stuck in patterns they can't seem to break, this episode offers both hope and practical insight. It demonstrates that healing happens when we bring our wounds into the light and reconnects us with the understanding that our bodies hold wisdom about our emotional experiences.Ready to explore what might be blocking your own creative expression or personal growth?

Send us a textThat bone-deep tiredness after a weekend filled with surprise visits, thunderstorms, community gatherings, and late-night shifts isn't something to push past—it's something to honor. When fatigue comes from creating memories, from being truly present in your life, it's serving a different purpose than the exhaustion that stems from stress or obligation.Many of us have forgotten how to distinguish between these different types of tiredness. We carry stress psychosomatically, our bodies responding to thought patterns about control and perfectionism that we've internalized. We convince ourselves that if we can just be perfect enough, handle everything perfectly, we'll finally be safe. But that pressure adds up, flooding our system with cortisol and disconnecting us from the natural rhythms of rest and activity.The real question isn't whether you're tired—it's whether your fatigue is evidence of a life you actually want to be living. Are your days nourishing you? Are your actions investing in the kind of experiences that fill you up, or are they draining what little energy remains? Manifestation isn't about escaping discomfort; it's about alignment. Freedom doesn't always require external changes—it begins with the pause, that moment when you interrupt the automatic patterns and check in with yourself honestly. You're allowed to slow down. You're safe to take life at your own pace, to release what's rooted in fear, to stop sprinting toward some imagined finish line of enough-ness.Take a moment today to place one hand on your heart, the other on your belly, and remind your body: "We are here. We are safe. We are listening." Because time is a tool, not a toy—and it's up to each of us to use it wisely.Support the show

Send us a textWhy do we keep reopening doors that already showed us what's behind them?That person who repeatedly disappoints us. The belief that keeps us small.The habit of over-functioning when our body is quietly begging for rest.In this tender solo episode, we explore what you may still be carrying that was never meant to come with you. Through a guided mindful moment, you'll be gently invited back into your body—to soften where you've been gripping and create space for a much-needed reset.We're also moving through the Flower Full Moon in Scorpio, a potent invitation to go deep.Scorpio doesn't let us skim the surface—it pulls us inward to face emotional truths we often avoid. If you've been feeling heavy, untethered, or unusually sensitive, you're not broken.You're transforming. And transformation rarely feels graceful in real time.Just like spring cleaning asks us to release what no longer fits, our emotional landscape asks the same. Nostalgia and fear can keep us clinging—but real freedom invites us to trust what we can't yet see.To let go before the next chapter fully reveals itself.This isn't abandonment. This is alignment.Take a loving inventory:What are you still loyal to that keeps you small?What beliefs or roles have outlived their purpose?You don't have to know exactly who you'll be on the other side.Just trust: your becoming needs room to breathe.You are allowed to outgrow what once felt like home.You are allowed to choose lightness.And you are still whole—especially when you walk away.Support the show
Send us a textThe divide between pain and pleasure, escape and presence, runs through the core of human experience. In this riveting conversation with Amrit Singh Reinsch, we venture beyond conventional thinking about consciousness and healing to discover what happens when we stop running from discomfort.Amrit's extraordinary journey took him from Germany's regimented structure to two decades in India, where meditation and yoga became his pathway to experiencing the profound internal highs our bodies naturally create. "It's a fascinating subject," he explains, comparing these states to the runner's high many already know. "Your human body can do this."The most compelling aspects of our discussion center around intention versus escapism. While many use substances or activities to numb pain, Emerick describes his recent therapeutic psychedelic experience as transformative precisely because it wasn't about avoiding reality but seeing it more clearly. "It's not about going high... it's about having the experience and then taking that with you into our human experience."What emerges is a radical reframing of life's challenges. Rather than obstacles to happiness, difficult emotions become doorways to freedom when we face them directly. This applies not only to our inner work but also to parenting, where witnessing our children's pain without immediately trying to fix it becomes one of the most challenging and necessary forms of love."Have fun," Amrit reminds us in closing. "It's all just one big game." This isn't dismissive but profoundly liberating – an invitation to approach life with curiosity instead of control. By embracing both the light and shadow aspects of being human, we discover a wholeness that transforms how we experience everything.Ready to explore your own relationship with presence and pain?

Send us a textThe tender threads of motherhood weave through this deeply personal episode as I share a love letter to my son Javon on his 30th birthday.Thirty years ago, as a scared teenager without even a high school diploma, I was thrust into motherhood — holding a tiny human who depended on me while I was still learning how to depend on myself.That moonlit night when I first brought him home, whispering promises I wasn't sure I could keep, marked the beginning of a transformative journey — one that reshaped my entire existence.Through raw and honest reflection, I share how motherhood taught me that love isn't only gentle — it's fierce, demanding, and expansive. It stretches us thin, yet paradoxically makes us whole.My son became my greatest teacher, reflecting my essence back to me when I couldn't see it myself. He showed me how to receive love when I wanted to push it away, and how to give love without conditions.This episode honors not only my relationship with Javon but also the many forms of mothering: → those who have given birth → those who have lost mothers → those mothering themselves → and those navigating motherhood without childrenThis Mother's Day carries special meaning — marking both my son's milestone birthday and my first without my daughter, Natalie, here physically.I speak to how grief and gratitude can coexist, and how Natalie's love continues to radiate through her boys. I share how I am learning to honor both joy and sorrow, and how love continues to shape us.Whether this day brings you smiles, tears, or quiet reflection — I invite you to meet it authentically, without performing or carrying others' expectations.Join me for a mindful moment.

Send us a textHave you ever noticed yourself sabotaging a peaceful moment or pulling away when things feel too good? Your nervous system might be hitting what I call a "joy threshold" – that point where feeling good becomes uncomfortable, even threatening.This deeply personal exploration unpacks why so many of us, especially those who've experienced trauma or lived in survival mode, find joy suspicious and unsafe. When your body has been wired to anticipate danger, the softening that joy requires can trigger all kinds of protective responses. You might start arguments, return to old habits, or simply numb out—not because you're failing, but because your system is saying, "this unfamiliar feeling might not be safe."Through gentle, body-based approaches, we explore practical ways to expand your capacity for joy. The guided mindfulness practice invites you to notice what happens when you allow good feelings to stay a little longer without bracing for their disappearance. We examine powerful reflection prompts that help identify your patterns around joy, including the stories your body tells about whether happiness can be trusted. This episode offers liberation from the belief that withholding joy somehow protects you from disappointment.The work of emotional sobriety isn't just about managing difficult feelings—it's equally about learning to stay present with good ones. If you find yourself walking the tender line between deep self-awareness and the longing to actually enjoy your life again, this episode provides both validation and a pathway forward. You are allowed to feel good, not because you've earned it through suffering, but simply because you exist. Learn more www.liftoneself.comSupport the show

You'll witness firsthand how confronting the vulnerable parts of ourselves that fear criticism can lead to profound creative breakthroughs.Beyond the emotional journey, this episode delivers practical wisdom for writers at every stage. Learn how to structure feedback requests from beta readers, recognize the difference between helpful editors and harmful critics, and understand why trying to please everyone ultimately dilutes your authentic voice.

Send us a textEver wonder why you keep hitting the same emotional walls despite years of personal growth work? Trauma specialist Tammy Cox reveals the missing piece that's keeping you stuck in patterns you can't seem to break."Trauma is just a high state of negative emotion," Tammy explains, cutting through the buzzwords to offer a refreshingly simple understanding of how early life experiences shape our adult personalities. The real breakthrough comes when she illuminates why intellectual understanding alone never creates lasting change—our bodies hold emotional charges that must be felt to be released.What makes this conversation particularly powerful is Tammy's blend of compassionate wisdom and practical techniques. She walks us through why emotions we label as "negative" are actually valuable messengers and teachers. Most surprisingly, she reveals it only takes 90 seconds to fully process an emotion when we stop resisting it—yet most of us have spent decades building sophisticated defense mechanisms to avoid those 90 seconds.Throughout our dialogue, we explore why relationships trigger our deepest wounds, how to recognize when the "two-year-old you" is running the show, and why befriending your anger might be the most spiritual thing you can do. Tammy also shares the origin story behind her podcast "Behind the Veil: Anonymous Transformations," where she guides people through healing their deepest wounds in real-time.Ready to move beyond the self-help plateau and experience genuine emotional freedom? This episode offers both the understanding and practical guidance to help you stop thinking your feelings and start transforming your life by actually feeling them.

Send us a textWhat would your pain say if it finally felt safe enough to speak? This question anchors a deeply intimate exploration into the hidden language of our bodies and the protective nature of our suffering. We've been conditioned to push away discomfort, to reframe our pain into something more acceptable, or to fix it as quickly as possible. But this episode invites you into a radical alternative – creating space to sit beside your pain without agenda, without the pressure to perform or improve. Through a gentle guided meditation and vulnerable insights, we explore how the tightening in your shoulders, the knot in your stomach, and the flinching at loud voices aren't random sensations but messengers carrying important information about your unmet needs.The journey toward emotional sobriety begins when we recognize that pain doesn't exist to punish us. It exists to protect something valuable within us – perhaps old grief that never found expression, memories we've never spoken aloud, or the wounded part that fears abandonment. When we learn to witness what's real inside without numbing or running, our exiled pain transforms from tormentor to guide, pointing us toward forgotten boundaries and the truth of who we are beneath our coping mechanisms.This episode offers a simple but powerful journaling practice to help you begin this conversation with your body's wisdom. If you're ready to go deeper into this work, the Emotional Sobriety Workshop mentioned provides a soft place to land and begin again. Remember to be gentle with yourself in this process – healing isn't linear, but your return home to yourself matters profoundly.Support the show
Send us a textWhen was the last time you truly felt your body from the inside out? Not just noticing an ache or pain, but deeply sensing your physical existence?For many of us, living primarily in our thoughts has disconnected us from crucial information our bodies are constantly trying to communicate. Karen Statner, clinical somatic educator and author, joins us to explore the revolutionary practice of clinical somatics—a method developed by philosopher Thomas Hanna that creates freedom through intentional movement.Karen illuminates the profound connection between our physical tension patterns and emotional states, explaining how our nervous system doesn't differentiate between body and mind, but operates as one integrated system. "We cannot change anything that we cannot feel," Karen shares, revealing how our bodies hold emotional patterns in specific muscular configurations. These patterns, whether from acute trauma or repetitive stress, become unconscious habits our nervous system maintains until we consciously release them. The result? Chronic tension, pain, disconnection, and a limited capacity to experience life fully.The beautiful revelation in this conversation is that no matter how long you've been stuck in specific patterns, change is always possible through the magic of neuroplasticity. Rather than approaching ourselves as problems to be fixed, clinical somatics offers a gentler path—becoming aware of tension, intentionally engaging it, and mindfully releasing it through a process similar to how animals naturally stretch.By reconnecting with our bodily sensations and learning to release chronic tension, we don't just improve physical comfort—we unlock emotional freedom, better relationships, and deeper connection to our authentic needs. This isn't about quick fixes but sustainable transformation that ripples outward, affecting not just ourselves but everyone around us.Ready to experience this for yourself? Karen guides us through a simple yet powerful three-step practice that demonstrates how effortlessly we can begin releasing tension and coming home to ourselves. What might change in your life if you could feel more, move freely, and live with greater presence?Listen, practice, and discover the wisdom your body has been waiting to share.Resources:Karen's website: https://www.somatichabit.co.uk/Free class: https://www.somatichabit.co.uk/freeclass/Support the showRemember, the strongest thing you can do for yourself is to ask for help.Please help us grow by subscribing to and sharing the Lift OneSelf podcast with others.The podcast intends to dissolve the stigmas around Mental Health and create healing spaces.I appreciate you, the listener, for tuning in and my guest for sharing.Our websiteLiftOneself.comemail: liftoneself@gmail.comFind more conversations on our Social Media pageswww.facebook.com/liftoneselfwww.instagram.com/liftoneselfWant to be a guest on the Lift OneSelf podcast message here on Podmatch:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/liftoneselfMusic by: Opening music Prazkhanal Opening music SoulProdMusicMeditation music Saavane
Send us a textEaster weekend is meant to be a time of peace, family, and renewal. Yet this year, many Canadians are feeling an unusual kind of pressure, as advance voting falls on Good Friday. Long lines across the country reveal a troubling paradox: we're being asked to make important decisions while in a stressed state—called to action during a time traditionally meant for stillness.This episode isn't about politics, parties, or platforms. It's about your nervous system. It's about reclaiming your ability to choose from presence, not fear.When anxiety runs high—whether from inflation, global unrest, or uncertainty—it's tempting to vote quickly. To latch onto whoever sounds strongest. To seek the person who promises to extinguish the nearest fire.But there's a profound difference between voting from clarity and voting from panic.Discernment isn't about distrust. It's about slowing down long enough to ask:Why did that message hit so hard?What's behind the polish?What's my body feeling right now?Because even the most well-intentioned leaders get shaped by the system they enter. That's not cynicism—it's reality.Before you let a headline or scroll-session decide for you, take a breath. Not everything demands urgency. Ask yourself: What kind of Canada do I want to wake up in? What does stability look like for me and my family?There may not be perfect candidates. But there is a more grounded version of you. And your vote matters most when it's made from that place.Let your nervous system lead—not the chaos of the world.Support the showRemember, the strongest thing you can do for yourself is to ask for help.Please help us grow by subscribing to and sharing the Lift OneSelf podcast with others.The podcast intends to dissolve the stigmas around Mental Health and create healing spaces.I appreciate you, the listener, for tuning in and my guest for sharing.Our websiteLiftOneself.comemail: liftoneself@gmail.comFind more conversations on our Social Media pageswww.facebook.com/liftoneselfwww.instagram.com/liftoneselfWant to be a guest on the Lift OneSelf podcast message here on Podmatch:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/liftoneselfMusic by: Opening music Prazkhanal Opening music SoulProdMusicMeditation music Saavane
Send us a textHave you ever felt caught in that impossible space where your body screams for rest while your mind refuses to slow down? That tension between physical exhaustion and mental momentum is where we dive deep in this raw, intimate conversation about the courage it takes to pause in a world that glorifies burnout.We explore why rest feels so threatening to many of us—how survival patterns from our past have conditioned our nervous systems to equate stillness with danger or unworthiness. Together, we unpack the cultural messaging that has taught us to view exhaustion as a badge of honor rather than a warning sign from our bodies. Through a guided breathing practice, we create space to actually feel what's happening in our bodies instead of rushing past the discomfort.The heart of our discussion centers on a powerful truth: momentum doesn't disappear when you pause—it's simply waiting for you to return refreshed and resourced. Rest isn't something you need to earn through productivity; it's a fundamental human need that requires no justification. When we resist the urge to keep pushing and instead choose intentional stillness, we often discover that our most profound insights and clarity emerge precisely in those quiet moments. If you're struggling with burnout or the endless cycle of proving your worth through productivity, this episode offers both validation and practical tools to begin shifting that pattern.

Send us a textShattering taboos and exposing medical blind spots, this deeply personal exploration of perimenopause and menopause reveals truths that will validate the experiences of countless women struggling in silence.Amita Sharma, founder of Nourish Doc, shares a shocking revelation from her research interviewing thousands of experts worldwide: OB-GYNs receive virtually no education about perimenopause in medical school, with just eight hours devoted to menopause during fifteen years of studying female physiology. No wonder so many women find themselves misdiagnosed with depression or anxiety when their hormones begin shifting.The conversation delves into the profound physical transformations that receive little attention in mainstream discussions. "Your gut microbiome changes, your brain changes," Sharma explains. "You are fundamentally a different person." These changes extend far beyond hot flashes, affecting everything from cognitive function to weight distribution, yet most women navigate this territory without maps or guides.Most powerfully, Sharma courageously shares her personal awakening during perimenopause – how decades of emotional suppression and people-pleasing suddenly demanded expression. "I was angry at myself for not allowing myself to express, for trying to please other people and not myself," she reveals. This emotional reckoning, while challenging, ultimately led to greater authenticity and self-compassion.The discussion illuminates how these transitions often spark relationship difficulties, with data suggesting 60% of women experience partnership challenges during this time. Difficult but necessary conversations about changing libido, emotional needs, and personal boundaries emerge as women reconnect with their authentic voices.Ready to understand your body's transitions with greater clarity and compassion?

Send us a textEver noticed how the most beautiful self-care routines sometimes feel empty? There's a reason. In this raw and honest exploration, we uncover the shadow side of self-care—when wellness practices become sophisticated forms of emotional avoidance rather than genuine healing. I share my own journey of realizing that despite having the "perfect" spiritual routine—the meditation, the affirmations, the aesthetics—I was still disconnecting from my deeper emotions. The breakthrough came not during a polished practice but during a messy breakdown that finally allowed truth to surface.We dive into the critical questions that transform self-care from performance to presence: Are you using rituals to connect with yourself or escape yourself? Are you feeling or numbing? Is your routine a doorway or a detour? Through a guided mindful moment, we create space to recognize what emotions we might be bypassing through our well-intentioned practices.Real self-care isn't always Instagram-worthy. Sometimes it looks like canceled plans, ugly crying, or expressing anger—because healing happens in honesty, not in perfection.

Send us a textWhat if the parts of yourself you've been trying to get rid of actually hold the key to your healing? In this heart-opening conversation, relationship experts Dean and HollyKem Sunseri reveal the transformative power of recognizing, naming, and loving all aspects of yourself – even the parts that feel broken or protective.After 33 years of marriage and decades helping couples heal, the Senseris share with refreshing transparency how they've moved from being emotional "takers" to "givers" in their relationship. Holly Kim bravely discusses her journey from addiction, felony convictions, and suicidal thoughts to profound self-acceptance, while Dean reveals how men can become "powerfully vulnerable" – simultaneously strong and heart-connected.Their framework for understanding our different internal "selves" offers listeners a practical way to make sense of conflicting emotions. Rather than being confused by contradictory feelings, we can recognize when our "protective self" (which Holly Kim humorously compares to Beth Dutton from Yellowstone) is trying to shield our wounded parts from further pain.The conversation takes a particularly powerful turn when addressing forgiveness. The Senseris make a crucial distinction between forgiveness and boundaries, explaining why freeing your heart from resentment doesn't mean maintaining unhealthy relationships. As Dean notes, "Forgiveness has to do with recognizing that I've been offended and hurt by things done to me, and I'm willing to lay that down on the altar so my heart can be restored."Whether you're struggling in a relationship, dealing with past trauma, or simply seeking more authentic connection, this episode offers profound yet practical wisdom for turning pain into growth. As the Senseris emphasize, your voice matters – and when you don't talk out your emotions, you'll inevitably act them out.

Send us a textWhat if the greatest obstacle to your healing isn't someone else, but the person staring back at you in the mirror? This transformative episode explores the powerful threshold where excuses end and genuine transformation begins – what I call "the mirror's edge."For years, I was the queen of "if only" thinking – believing that if only others would change their behavior, then I could finally feel whole. Sound familiar? That's the fascinating thing about human pain: it's tragically universal. But here's the truth bomb that changed everything: in every painful pattern, the common denominator wasn't them – it was me. Your triggers aren't random; they're your greatest teachers, pointing precisely to where healing is needed.Through intimate personal stories about transforming my relationship with my mother and reclaiming my power in the workplace, I share how accountability without self-blame became my pathway to freedom. We explore how unhealed trauma creates a space where we feel unsafe to feel our emotions, leading us to constantly blame others rather than face our own feelings. The most difficult truth? Your healing is 100% your responsibility, even when the wound wasn't your fault.Experience a guided mindful moment meditation to identify your own relationship patterns, and learn about emotional sobriety practices that create safety for you to finally drop into your body's wisdom. Are you ready to stand at the mirror's edge and finally see yourself clearly? Join our upcoming emotional sobriety workshop to discover practical tools for breaking free from invisible patterns. Because the bravest thing you'll ever do is interrupt a pattern that was handed down to you as love.Emotional Sobriety workshop Click hereSupport the showRemember, the strongest thing you can do for yourself is to ask for help.Please help us grow by subscribing to and sharing the Lift OneSelf podcast with others.The podcast intends to dissolve the stigmas around Mental Health and create healing spaces.I appreciate you, the listener, for tuning in and my guest for sharing.Our websiteLiftOneself.comemail: liftoneself@gmail.comFind more conversations on our Social Media pageswww.facebook.com/liftoneselfwww.instagram.com/liftoneselfWant to be a guest on the Lift OneSelf podcast message here on Podmatch:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/liftoneselfMusic by: Opening music Prazkhanal Opening music SoulProdMusicMeditation music Saavane
Send us a textWhat does it mean to harness your authentic power as a female artist in a world that often tries to define you? Tabitha Gerbadian's journey from Barbados to international stages reveals the raw reality behind the spotlight.When Tabitha steps on stage, something electric happens. Her voice commanded 60,000 people in Africa and turned quiet restaurant patrons into spontaneous dancers. But this Caribbean reggae artist's path hasn't been without challenges. With refreshing candor, she shares how her confident, assertive stage presence gets mischaracterized as "masculine energy" in a male-dominated industry. "If I am doing really good at my job, it's like, 'oh, she's trying to be a man,'" she explains, highlighting the double standards women face across professions.The conversation takes us behind the curtain of music industry politics, from Tabitha's formative experience performing with Beenie Man at just 13 years old to her manifestation moment with Wyclef Jean. She speaks powerfully about resisting pressure to sexualize her performances, choosing instead to let her artistry and message lead. Her song "Better Must Come," written during a dark period, later saved a fan's life—a profound reminder of music's healing power.Tabitha's philosophy emerges as both practical and spiritual: "Energy does not lie. When you put intentions and set your intentions, best believe it's gonna come exactly how it needs to come." Her transition from Barbados to Germany, from performing to planning her first EP, all reflect a woman determined to trust her intuition despite a world that sometimes pushes against it.What emerges is a story about more than music—it's about finding courage to stand in your truth when others would have you dim your light. Whether you're an artist or simply searching for authenticity in your own life, Tabitha's journey offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for the path ahead.Learn more about Tabitha herehttps://audiomack.com/tabithagerbadianSupport the showRemember, the strongest thing you can do for yourself is to ask for help.Please help us grow by subscribing to and sharing the Lift OneSelf podcast with others.The podcast intends to dissolve the stigmas around Mental Health and create healing spaces.I appreciate you, the listener, for tuning in and my guest for sharing.Our websiteLiftOneself.comemail: liftoneself@gmail.comFind more conversations on our Social Media pageswww.facebook.com/liftoneselfwww.instagram.com/liftoneselfWant to be a guest on the Lift OneSelf podcast message here on Podmatch:https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/liftoneselfMusic by: Opening music Prazkhanal Opening music SoulProdMusicMeditation music Saavane
Send us a textThe rush of being needed – that warm sensation when someone turns to you in crisis – feels incredible, but what if your desire to help might sometimes be more about you than them? This powerful episode dives deep into the psychology of our "rescue reflex" and explores when supporting others becomes a hidden addiction.When you constantly swoop in to fix others' problems, your brain floods with dopamine, oxytocin, and adrenaline, creating what neuroscientists call a "helper's high" that can be as addictive as any substance. Parents finishing their children's projects, colleagues taking on others' work, friends who drop everything for every crisis – these behaviors often masquerade as love while secretly saying "I don't think you can handle this without me."Through personal stories, expert insights, and a powerful guided reflection, you'll discover how constant rescuing might actually be keeping the people around you small. The episode introduces three transformative practices – the Physical Pause, the Body Check, and the Boundary Phrase – that work with your biology to break these patterns. You'll learn the profound difference between supporting and saving, illustrated through a moving personal story about accompanying a friend through cancer while honoring her dignity and agency.Ready to transform how you show up for others without losing yourself?

Send us a textStruggling to break free from the corporate ceiling? Greg Mohr, self-described "Franchise Maven," reveals how franchising opens doors to entrepreneurship without starting from scratch. This eye-opening conversation challenges everything you thought you knew about franchise opportunities.Greg's journey from teenage Taco Bell worker to franchise expert spans decades of firsthand business experience across multiple industries and states. He dispels the common misconception that franchises are limited to brick-and-mortar restaurants, revealing opportunities in virtually every sector—from home services to senior care—many requiring modest initial investments compared to traditional business startups.What sets this episode apart is Greg's straightforward assessment of financial freedom. "How soon do you want to do what you want, when you want, with the money to do it?" This question frames his compelling argument for entrepreneurship through franchising as an alternative to the predetermined salary caps of traditional employment. He breaks down practical considerations including funding options (SBA loans vs. self-directed retirement funds), net worth requirements, and the varying time commitments different franchise models demand.Beyond business insights, Greg shares his holistic approach to success through mindful practices like daily nature walks, sustainable living, and reducing processed foods. His story embodies the ultimate payoff of entrepreneurship: not just financial gain, but the freedom to design your ideal lifestyle.Ready to explore whether franchising might be your path to greater freedom and financial independence?

It's not anxiety—it's clarity.In this raw, unfiltered episode, I reveal how I stayed trapped for years in relationships that dimmed my light—convinced that familiar discomfort was safer than the unknown. These weren't dramatic, obvious toxicity. They were the quiet kind: conditional support, subtle dismissals, and the constant reminder of who I used to be when I was trying to become who I am.As one client confessed, "I wasn't afraid of losing them; I was afraid of finding me."

Send us a textWhat if the physical pain you've battled for years isn't actually physical at all? Jenny Harkleroad's extraordinary journey from debilitating chronic pain to complete healing challenges everything we think we know about our bodies and minds. After a hiking accident left her with a broken back, Jenny's expected six-week recovery stretched into years of agony that conventional medicine couldn't resolve. Despite surgeries, pain medications, and every medical intervention available, nothing helped—until she discovered the true source of her suffering wasn't in her spine but in her subconscious.Working with a doctor who used muscle testing to access her body's hidden knowledge, Jenny uncovered how emotional wounds from her past were creating physical manifestations in her present. More surprisingly, she found herself taking pain pills not for physical discomfort but to numb emotions related to her marriage—a revelation that began a deeper healing journey touching every aspect of her life.The most profound transformation came when Jenny learned to reprogram her subconscious mind. After 100 therapy sessions exploring issues in her marriage without resolution, a three-day immersion in subconscious repatterning completely transformed her relationship without her husband changing at all. By healing the wounded parts of herself that were causing her to react negatively to her husband's behaviors, she found herself responding with curiosity instead of anger, acceptance instead of judgment.Jenny's powerful story reminds us that we're often taught to "think our feelings" rather than actually experiencing them—a disconnection that can manifest as physical pain, relationship struggles, and a pervasive sense of unhappiness despite outward success. Through her personal transformation, she now helps others reprogram their subconscious minds to create profound changes in health, relationships, and overall wellbeing.Ready to discover what your body might be trying to tell you?

Send us a textThat feeling of existing in a room full of people yet somehow remaining completely invisible—it cuts deeper than we often admit. Through vulnerable reflection, I explore this universal wound of feeling unseen and the exhausting pattern of seeking validation from people and places that simply cannot give it.Many of us know the sting of having our truth dismissed or misunderstood, even by those we love most. This triggers a storm inside—rage, isolation, and an almost desperate need to make others acknowledge our pain. But what happens when we finally stop waiting for external validation? What transforms when we begin to truly see ourselves?The real journey begins when we move beyond intellectually knowing we're enough to actually embodying this truth. Through a guided meditation, I share a practice that has helped me navigate these feelings of invisibility. We breathe into discomfort together while affirming our inherent worth: "I see myself. I hear myself. My truth matters."Healing involves gathering all the pieces of ourselves we've scattered throughout life and integrating them into wholeness. While we can't control how others perceive us, we absolutely control how we perceive ourselves. Once you start holding your truth authentically, you'll discover you don't need anyone else to tell you who you are—you already know.For those resonating with these themes, my Raw Healing course dives deeper into the uncomfortable but necessary work of feeling our authentic emotions.

Send us a textAfter years of feeling trapped by the shadows of her past, Dr. Kelly Bohnhoff discovered a transformative path that led her from trauma to triumph. Join us as she shares her remarkable story of healing and empowerment, revealing the powerful connections between trauma, energy, and the nervous system. We explore the concept of "parachuting" into life circumstances, suggesting that our journeys are not mere accidents but carry pre-ordained energy and purpose. Dr. Kelly's insights offer a compassionate understanding of how trauma can affect the mind, body, and spirit, providing hope and guidance for families seeking to reconnect with their true selves.In our exploration, we confront the limiting beliefs that often hold us back—those insidious feelings of being unlovable or unworthy. Dr. Kelly encourages us to reflect deeply on the origins of these beliefs and demonstrates how shifting to empowering language can transform our personal and familial relationships. Through her narrative, we understand the importance of self-nurturing and redefining the energy we invite into our lives. This journey is not just about escaping victimhood but embracing a powerful vision of ourselves as manifestations of divine love in action.Finally, we tackle the delicate dance of integrating the ego into our personal growth. With Dr. Kelly as our guide, we embark on a metaphorical interview with the ego, understanding its fears and the necessity of making it a valued component of our inner team. By fostering harmony among the mind, body, and spirit, we learn to release societal conditioning and step into a life of autonomy and internal guidance. This episode offers the promise of a pain-free, medication-free existence where freedom is not just the absence of fear but a profound embrace of all that we are.

Send us a textImagine carrying the weight of unprocessed trauma, not just in your mind, but etched into the very fibers of your being. Join me, Nat Nat, on a transformative journey with Dr. Momoko Uno, a leading expert in integrative medicine, as we unravel the profound connection between trauma and the body. Our conversation shines a light on how deeply embedded trauma can disrupt the nervous system, often manifesting as chronic illness. Discover the vital role of stress and cortisol and learn how a simple act of mindful breathing can anchor you to the present, fostering a path to healing and self-care.Throughout this episode, Dr. Uno and I explore the delicate dance between emotions, trauma, and healing. I share my personal voyage from studying integrative medicine and acupuncture to the discovery of how essential authentic emotional expression is for true recovery. Together, we confront the stigma around emotions like anger, often misunderstood but essential for self-protection and healing. Understand how repressing these emotions can lead to physical ailments, and uncover ways to navigate the body's complex reactions such as fight, flight, fawn, or freeze, which can lead to chronic inflammation and illness.We also delve into the shadows cast by medical trauma, especially in childhood, and the challenges within the healthcare system that often invalidate those with chronic pain. By acknowledging the shared trauma experienced by both patients and medical professionals, we advocate for a more empathetic and compassionate approach to healthcare. As we close, we encourage spreading awareness and kindness in mental health, offering tools and insights to empower those on their healing journey.
