Exploring the Practice of Rolfing with Moylan RyanWhat if the way you move—how you stand, walk, and even breathe—could unlock a deeper sense of freedom and alignment? Rolfing, a powerful form of structural integration, offers a profound way to release tension, improve posture, and reshape both body and mind. More than just a physical adjustment, it is a process of unraveling old patterns, restoring balance, and reconnecting with your authentic self.

It's not just about movement—it's about transformation from the inside out.In this episode, we talk about the somatic practice of rolfing with a special guest, Moylan Ryan. Moylan is originally from Ireland, where he trained as a somatic psychotherapist, but eventually relocated to the US nearly 21 years ago to study at Dr Ralph Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Moylan recognizes Rolfing's structural integration as a profound means of bringing deep change to one's psychology, a reshaping of both neural and fascial plasticity. Moylan has a private practice as a somatic therapist in Tempe, Arizona, where he offers all things structural integration, neurodynamic breathwork, and movement education as integral parts of his healing process.

Self-Sabotage: Time to Stop Standing in Your Own WayHave you ever felt like you're on the brink of success, only to find yourself pulling back, procrastinating, or making excuses at the last moment? It's as if an invisible force is keeping you stuck, preventing you from reaching your full potential. That force is often self-sabotage—a silent, internal battle where fear, doubt, and limiting beliefs work against your best intentions. It can disguise itself as perfectionism, productivity, avoidance, or even self-doubt, making it difficult to recognize. The good news? These patterns aren't set in stone. By becoming aware of how self-sabotage operates, you can break free from its grip, rewire your mindset, and start moving forward with confidence. In this episode, we talk about the art of self-sabotage, how we get into our way knowingly or subconsciously, and—most importantly—how to break free from self-sabotage with our hero and mindset coach, Katie Wee. Katie is a mindset coach, keynote speaker, actress, survivor, writer, and the founder of Happy Camp. Katie has appeared on TV shows such as Modern Family, Hawaii Five-0, New Girl, and General Hospital, and her writing has been featured on Newsweek and The Huffington Post.

Have you ever felt like life is moving too fast, leaving you disconnected from yourself? In a world overflowing with technology, endless to-do lists, and constant distractions, it's easy to lose sight of who we truly are. But self-realization offers a way back—a path to slowing down, tuning in, and seeing life through a clearer lens. When we take the time to go inward and connect with our inner self, we uncover a deeper understanding of our thoughts, emotions, and purpose. By stepping away from the noise and reconnecting with ourselves, we don't just change how we see the world—we transform how we experience it.In this episode, we talk about the overwhelming technology in our lives, how constant stimulation affect our minds, bodies, and energy, and how practices like acupuncture can help us restore balance with hero Jacques Depardieu.

Forgiveness is an essential part of the healing journey, not because it erases the past but because it frees us from being trapped in it. True healing isn't about forgetting what happened or pretending pain never existed—it's about acknowledging the hurt while choosing to move forward with strength and grace. Forgiveness, whether for ourselves or others, allows us to release the weight of resentment and step into a life filled with more peace, joy, and emotional freedom. It is an act of courage, a gift we give not only to those who have wronged us but to ourselves, creating space for growth, love, and new beginnings.In this episode, we explore the transformative power of forgiveness—both self-forgiveness and forgiving others—and how it shapes long-term happiness and joy with Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail. Rev. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 90K followers. As a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, Lizzie brought a passion for intersectional feminism and queer theology to her studies at Duke Divinity School and Seminary of the Southwest. It was her time in both Massachusetts and North Carolina that brought her into the Episcopal church, where she was ordained in 2020. While grateful for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5 plus years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.

How Spirit Helps Us Navigate Our Tendencies & BehaviorsHave you ever felt an unexplainable pull toward certain choices or a deep inner knowing that defies logic? Our lives are constantly shaped by unseen forces, gently nudging us toward growth, self-awarenaess, and transformation. Spirit speaks in whispers through intuition and the patterns we unconsciously repeat. By recognizing our tendencies, we gain the power to refine them, breaking free from cycles that no longer serve us and embracing the wisdom that guides us forward. The journey of navigating spirit is not about control but about learning to listen, trust, and align with the deeper rhythm of life.In this episode, we talk about lessons that spirit can teach us about ourselves and make us aware of our natural tendencies with Lea Morgan.

Immersing yourself in nature isn't just a retreat for the senses; it's a powerful way to heal both body and mind. From the soothing rustle of leaves to the grounding feel of the earth beneath your feet, nature can calm, restore, and energize. Physically, it reduces stress hormones, lowers blood pressure, and enhances immune function. Emotionally, it improves clarity, creativity, and a deeper connection to oneself. Much like the myofascial system in our bodies, nature operates as a network of balance and resilience—reminding us that healing is often found in simplicity and stillness. Whether it's a quiet walk through the woods or simply listening to birdsong, nature invites us to return to our natural rhythm to unlock healing and inner strength.In this episode, we discuss nature-inspired healing, nature's healing powers for our bodies, minds, and spirits, and how this can mirror what MFR provides with Karen Remele.

Being present is a phrase we hear often, yet its true essence can feel elusive. It's more than just a buzzword or a fleeting concept—it's about fully being in the moment, connecting with your body, and quieting the monkey mind. While it sounds simple, being present can be challenging in a world filled with constant distractions. However, practices like yoga, sound healing, and Thai bodywork offer powerful tools to help us create the bridge between mind and body. By learning to release tension, focus on breath, and tune into the sensations of the here and now, we can experience the transformative power of being truly present.In this episode, we talk about how yoga, sound healing, and Thai bodywork can be effective gateways for learning how to be present in your body and why it's important with Nicole Kim.

What if the key to unlocking your true potential lies within the child you once were? Inner child work is not just a healing tool—it's the foundation for how we navigate the world as adults. The beliefs we formed in childhood about ourselves and the world around us silently shape our relationships, self-perception, and emotional patterns. Too often, we judge ourselves harshly, but judgment can never spark true change—only compassion can. Inner child work offers a safe, nurturing space filled with love, gentleness, gratitude, and the essential conditions for personal growth and transformation. It's not about fixing yourself. It's about building a compassionate relationship with every part of who you are.In this episode, we talk with Cait deMello about one of the most essential aspects of healing: Inner Child work. Cait is a business and embodiment coach who describes herself as an inner power activator on a mission to help women reclaim the power within to develop their businesses from a place of inner strength.

Self-trust is the cornerstone of achieving your 2025 goals, and it begins with small daily commitments—non-negotiable wins that reinforce your belief in your ability to follow through.

Each step, when taken with intention, creates a cycle of growth, building confidence and resilience along the way. Cultivating self-trust also requires self-compassion, as acknowledging your efforts and celebrating progress enhances a positive mindset.

The holiday season, while often filled with joy and celebration, can also amplify feelings of loneliness, grief, and overwhelm. In those moments, it's easy to feel as though we're navigating life's challenges alone, carrying burdens too heavy to bear. But what if the very struggles we face are opportunities to connect with a deeper source of strength? In this episode, Rev. Lizzie reminds us that through spirituality, we can find a wellspring of resilience and hope. Whether we're juggling endless to-do lists or grieving a profound loss, Lizzie shares how God's presence and love offer us the courage to endure, grow, and heal—even in life's most trying seasons.Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 80K followers. As a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, Lizzie brought a passion for intersectional feminism and queer theology to her studies at Duke Divinity School and Seminary of the Southwest. It was her time in both Massachusetts and North Carolina that brought her into the Episcopal church, where she was ordained in 2020. While grateful for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5 plus years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.

We don't just digest food—we digest life. Every thought, feeling, and experience we encounter impacts our gut health, making digestion about so much more than what's on our plate. For women, this connection is even more profound, as stress, hormonal changes, and emotional well-being often show up in the form of bloating, acid reflux, IBS, and other gut issues. Acupuncture, a powerful tool in East Asian medicine, helps restore balance by addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of digestion. It's not just about relieving symptoms—it's about nurturing your body and mind to feel your best from the inside out.In this episode, we talk about how acupuncture and East Asian medicine can support and heal digestion and gastrointestinal issues that are prevalent today with Jacques Depardieu.

Resourcing, though often overlooked, is a vital part of your healing journey in EMDR therapy. It provides you with emotional tools and coping strategies that help you feel grounded and secure as you begin to process and heal trauma. By developing positive internal "resources"—like calming visualizations, empowering memories, or sensations of safety—you can tap into your own inner strength when emotions feel overwhelming. These resources serve as anchors, helping you stay centered and in control. Whether you're in therapy or facing life's daily challenges, resourcing empowers you to reconnect with yourself, regulate your emotions, and take meaningful steps toward healing.In this episode, we continue our discussion of EMDR with a special focus on resourcing, what it is, and how it can support those undergoing EMDR therapy or who want to regulate their emotions and respond to life challenges with a returning guest, Jen Baumgold. Jen is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in trauma treatment. She is certified in EMDR and works with clients to help untangle the knots of trauma while finding a path toward healing and resilience. After graduating with her master's in social work, Jen began her career at the New York Fire Department counseling service unit, where she worked until 2016. During her time there, she provided crucial mental health support to FDYN members and their families.

Finding Spiritual Connection and Healing Through CommunityDo you feel like your spiritual journey has left you longing for a deeper connection in a fast-paced world? In the rush of daily life, spirituality can often feel distant or difficult to grasp, leaving us yearning for something more. This is where the power of community comes in. Within a spiritual community, the search for meaning takes on new depth, offering a space where we can explore our beliefs alongside others who share our quest. It's in this collective experience that you find not only support and encouragement but also a renewed sense of purpose and belonging, reminding you that your spiritual journey is both personal and communal, deeply enriched by the presence of others.In this episode, we talk about connection, community, and their role in a spiritual and healing journey with a returning guest, Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 80K followers. As a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, Lizzie brought a passion for intersectional feminism and queer theology to her studies at Duke Divinity School and Seminary of the Southwest. It was her time in both Massachusetts and North Carolina that brought her into the Episcopal church, where she was ordained in 2020. While grateful for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5 plus years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.

Are you a parent wanting to connect better with your children and grow together? Human design can be the missing tool in your parenting arsenal. It is a system that combines astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and the chakra system to create a unique chart for each person. With human design knowledge, parents can better recognize and support their children's natural strengths and inclinations and help them align with their true nature, fostering confidence and self-awareness. On the other hand, when children grow up knowing their human design, it helps them understand why they might feel or act differently from others and reassures them that their unique traits are valuable. Parents who use human design to nurture their child's intuition can create a more harmonious and supportive home environment. This approach encourages open communication and mutual respect, allowing children to develop a strong sense of self and navigate the world more quickly and confidently.In this episode, our return guest, Zach Carlsen, will do a live reading of Chandler's kids to demonstrate how human design can help parents better connect and communicate with their kids and support them as they grow. Zach has been coaching and educating professionally for the last decade. The core and foundation of his work is human design, a modern science containing ancient systems for exploring the nature of being. He holds advanced academic degrees in pedagogy, literature, and French, as well as certifications from Gallup Inc. in Clifton Strengths coaching and SSC in human design coaching. In 2021, he obtained his master coach certification from Elementum Coaching Institute.Tune inWhat You Will Learn:[00:01] Intro and a bit about our guest today, Zach Carlsen[03:53] What human design is, and how it works[06:17] Why it is so crucial to seek an understanding of your human design[11:30] What is the benefit of knowing your child's chart in human design?[13:25] The five types of human designs[20:21] Charts for Chandler's two children and how she can become a better parent[21:17] How a human design chart entails and looks like[29:28] Learning the basics of what makes your children at the energetic level[35:17] How Zach generated the human design charts for Chandler's two kids[35:55] Both kids are manifesting generators and characteristics of such people[40:43] How parents can use human design to empower their children[01:04:47] Wrap up and end of the showStandout Quotes:“Everyone is smart in different ways.

They are here to build and to lead. They are here to transform the world as we know it in ways that can be felt and seen.” [36:15]“As a parent, it is good to create boredom in your kid's day.

The Power of Myofascial Release for Women's WellbeingMyofascial release is a type of therapy aimed at relieving tension and pain in the body's muscles and connective tissues. This therapy involves gentle, sustained pressure on the fascial tissues to help improve movement and reduce discomfort. Fascia is a type of connective tissue that surrounds and supports various structures in the body, including muscles, bones, nerves, and organs. It is a continuous web-like network that runs throughout the entire body, providing structural support and protection. Often used by physical and massage therapists, myofascial release can help with various conditions, such as chronic pain, headaches, and muscle tightness. By releasing tight spots and improving blood flow, this technique helps restore the body's natural alignment and function, promoting overall well-being.In this episode with our return guest, Karen Remele, we talk about how myofascial release can be a powerful healing tool for addressing physical traumas in the body, including those resulting from sexual abuse and reproductive issues among women.

Healing is about trusting who you are working with.” [32:55]“A huge part of any healing is trusting who you work with.

We all have those inner moments of knowing, those flashes of insight that seem to come from nowhere. It is called the intuition. Tapping into our intuitive capabilities involves embracing this inner knowing and trusting the messages it conveys. By quieting the noise of daily life and reconnecting with ourselves through practices such as meditation, mindfulness, and reflective journaling, we can become more attuned to the intuitive mind. Balancing intuition with the rational mind allows us to make well-rounded decisions, blending the clarity of logic with the wisdom of our inner senses. This harmony leads to more authentic, aligned, and fulfilling life experiences.In this episode, we talk about the 4 Clairs of Intuition, how to identify them, and how they can help you enhance your life with a returning guest, Lea Morgan.
