My work is shaped by years of unraveling inherited patterns, healing my nervous system, and learning how to live with more autonomy, awareness, and self-trust.These days, I live a life that actually feels like mine — connected to purpose, guided by intuition, and built to sustain nervous system regulation.I host a podcast — conditioning to consciousness — and offer digital tools and coaching to support mind/body/soul transformation. I'm a student of transpersonal psychology focusing on consciousness studies, and I offer past life regression hypnosis.I'm also a mom to three small humans, and the truth is — they're always watching. So alignment isn't optional. I write to heal myself, and because I know that each time I share my voice, I heal a little bit forward for them, too.I'm endlessly curious about how we got to this place where the world feels heavy and broken, and what the path to healing looks like. I'm a firm believer that if just 1% of us elevate our consciousness through deeper awareness and the inner journey, that we can create a shift in the world around us.

Guest Bio

Ryan hosted a solo episode of the Truth to Heals podcast, reflecting on how watching a docuseries called "Cult and Extreme Beliefs" on Hulu inspired him to start sharing his own experiences as an ex-member of a high-control religious group. He explained that while watching former members like Teddy Hose from the Unification Church and Sarah Edmondson from NXIVM share their stories, he realized he had been minimizing his own experiences and felt compelled to create a podcast to share the truth about his time in the cult. Ryan discussed how his initial approach of trying to make peace with cult leaders had failed, and how he now felt empowered to speak out about the manipulation, fraud, and abuse he witnessed, despite criticism from some who claimed he wasn't "healed" yet.

Teddy Hose was born and raised in the Unification Church, popularly known as the “Moonies” cult, led by Sun Myung Moon who believed himself to be the Second Coming of Jesus. With Teddy's parents holding high positions as early members, his family had inner circle status which he now draws from in his whistleblower work. Teddy has been featured in docuseries Explained and How to Become a Cult Leader on Netflix, and A&E's Cults and Extreme Belief, and regularly posts cult-related insights and news in his social media channels. Career-wise, Teddy is a multimedia designer with a focus on video editing, now living in Brooklyn - http://teddyhose.tv@teddyhose on Instagram and Bluesky@2dhose on TikTok@teddyhoseworks on Facebook

In this powerful and honest conversation, my good friend Anna opens up about her experience growing up in “The Truth” — also known as the 2x2 cult or “The Way.” With no official church buildings, Sunday services held in homes, and a tight-knit community that calls itself simply “The Truth,” this group operates largely under the radar.Anna shares what life was really like inside the cult — the rules, the control, the isolation, and the deep indoctrination she experienced from childhood.

Guest Bio: (Taken from Lilly's Website)Men's Relationship Coach for senior leaders living in chronic activation.I work with the guy who's crushing it at work but feels like a failure at home—the one who can stay calm during a high-stakes negotiation but snaps when his kid interrupts him for the third time, whose mind goes blank when his wife is upset, who can't turn off "work mode" even after he gets home.BACKGROUNDMaster's degree in Social Work, University of TennesseeTraining in Relational Life Therapy and somatic trauma renegotiationFormer therapist and personal trainerCo-founder of Relational SomaticsHost of the Growth Over Easy podcastAdvisory board member, Survivors for ChangeWHO I WORK WITHI work with senior leaders and executives who:Have learned to compartmentalize their feelings and push through—but don't realize their nervous system is in chronic activationHear "it feels like you don't even care" when they're trying as hard as they canHear "you're never really here" and have no idea how to fix itHandle crisis situations at work without breaking a sweat—but snap at home over things they know don't matterHave tried couples therapy and "just communicate better"—but nothing's actually changedWHAT I DOI help men go from chronic activation to calm and connected. Not by forcing them to "talk about their feelings," but by building nervous system capacity so they can stay present under pressure.Through somatic nervous system regulation, the Blueprint Awareness Method, and body-based tools, I don't just talk about patterns—I help rewire them.My clients learn to:Stay present when their instinct is to shut down or blow upUnderstand what their nervous system is protecting them fromBuild the capacity for connection without running on survival mode 24/7This isn't therapy. It's nervous system training for leaders.CORE APPROACHSomatic (body-based) nervous system regulationReal-time tools for shutdown and explosion patternsBlueprint Awareness MethodTreating root causes, not symptomsAccountability and real-world applicationBuilding capacity for presence without losing yourselfPHILOSOPHYWe're pack animals wired for connection—but chronic activation scrambles that wiring.The good news?

Quick recapRyan discussed spiritual abuse within the Alliance of the Holy Family International (AHFI), focusing on how the group manipulates religious concepts like discernment and obedience to control members. He explained how AHFI leaders use guilt and fear tactics, such as threatening curses on members who leave or fail to meet their prayer and task requirements. Ryan shared his personal experience of being told it was a sin to not complete the required number of rosaries, despite having other obligations. He emphasized that this form of spiritual abuse is not aligned with true Christian teachings and advised anyone in a similar situation to seek wisdom and consider leaving the group.If you would like to support my channel please consider:buymeacoffee.com/truththath7Thank you for all of your support and for helping to make this channel a reality :)
