What if the anxiety, overthinking, people pleasing, emotional shutdown, hypervigilance, burnout, and relationship struggles you experience today… were never actually "you" to begin with? In this deeply personal and profoundly eye-opening solo episode, Darin Olien dives into the hidden nervous system programming formed between the ages of 0 and 8 that silently shapes our adult lives. Drawing from neuroscience, trauma research, attachment theory, epigenetics, somatic healing, and his own emotional breakthroughs, Darin explores how childhood experiences become subconscious operating systems that influence everything from relationships and stress responses to chronic disease and self-worth. This episode is a powerful roadmap toward healing. Darin breaks down the science behind trauma, the ACE study, nervous system dysregulation, emotional patterning, and neuroplasticity, while also sharing practical tools like somatic experiencing, expressive writing, EMDR, and Internal Family Systems to help listeners begin rewiring their emotional lives from the inside out. What You'll Learn How childhood experiences program the nervous system Why most adult emotional reactions are subconscious survival patterns The connection between trauma, stress hormones, and chronic disease How the nervous system stores emotional experiences in the body Why people pleasing, hypervigilance, burnout, and emotional shutdown develop The science behind neuroplasticity and rewiring the brain What the ACE Study revealed about childhood trauma and adult health How trauma impacts the amygdala, hippocampus, and stress-response systems Why emotional patterns are adaptations, not character flaws How epigenetics can pass trauma responses across generations The role of somatic experiencing in trauma healing Practical tools for emotional regulation and nervous system repair

They are not your identity. They are not permanent. And through awareness, somatic healing, emotional processing, nervous system regulation, and conscious repetition, those deeply rooted patterns can be rewritten into something healthier, freer, and more aligned with who you truly are."

About Christine Marie Aitchison:Christine Marie is a trauma-informed healer, ceremonial guide, and founder of Soul Medicine. With a background in nursing and certifications in Celtic Shamanism and Reiki, she brings a rare blend of clinical grounding and sacred wisdom to her work. Christine helps people move from victimhood to empowerment using energy healing, ritual, and plant medicine, and she's the author of Grieve with Guidance—a deeply supportive book for navigating loss through spiritual frameworks and ceremony. Today, Christine joins us to explore how true healing begins when we speak, feel, and live from authenticity rather than our trauma story. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Christine Marie Aitchison discuss:Near-death experiences and their transformative impactThe intersection of spirituality and holistic healingEmotional and ancestral grief as pathways to self-awarenessTransitioning from traditional nursing to intuitive healing practicesThe ongoing journey of self-discovery and energetic boundaries Key Takeaways:Christine's near-death experience as a child became the catalyst for her lifelong commitment to bring light and healing into the world.Her transition from traditional nursing to holistic healing reveals the importance of aligning one's work with deeper personal values.Create space for ongoing personal inner work, recognizing that self-healing is a continuous journey of understanding and compassion.When pain or grief arises, approach it with curiosity instead of resistance to uncover its hidden lessons for growth.

Ever wondered how to tailor your parenting approach to fit each unique child in your family? Join us for a heart-to-heart with Dawn, a remarkable mother of nine from Iowa, whose journey of intentional parenting is nothing short of inspiring. Dawn opens up about the trials and triumphs of adapting her parenting style to nurture the distinctive hearts of each of her children. She underscores the importance of granting ourselves grace as parents, reminding us that flexibility and understanding are key to thriving in the ever-evolving landscape of family life.“Intentional parenting is the never ending process of pursuing the hearts of my children.”As we wrap up, we delve into the transformative power of building deeper relationships through personal influence rather than authority. Inspired by Matthew Kelly's "The Seven Levels of Intimacy," Dawn shares how vulnerability and intentional effort can nurture authentic bonds within the family. Through personal anecdotes, she emphasizes the importance of creating meaningful one-on-one interactions, fostering respect and individuality.

Julie Aitchison triumphantly returns to Unexplained Inc. Back in the summer she laid down the foundation for what goes into S.R.A. and who is likely behind most of it. This time she goes deeper into it's connection to the military-intelligence field and the dark aspects of mind control.Before we get into this aspect of the discussion we have a fairly bipartisan discussion on the U.S. Election results and why people should be interacting with each other with humility...whether their 'side' is the victor or the loser. We also dive into whether or not Donald is a saviour of the masses or a well-crafted charlatan...you be the judge! Plus...in the outro Phantom Phil shares the most far-out theory he's heard on who Trump is really representing.Then we look into the harrowing Project MKOFTEN, various aspects of mind control and some of the harrowing aspects of S.R.A. This ties into how underground tunnels likely play a major factor into this dark phenomenon. Plus...if public figures like Hanks & DeNiro have such a major problem with the elected official? Why are they bailing on their country instead of sticking ground to fight? Seems fishy...hmmmmJulie wraps all of this up with an interesting take on the times we are living in through a Biblical perspective. I advise to take what resonates from this chat and leave what doesn't...no need to get yourself triggered and shoot the messenger!

Dr. John Aitchison is President and Director of the Center for Infectious Disease Research, the largest independent, non-profit organization in the U.S. that is focused solely on infectious disease research. In addition, John serves as an affiliate or adjunct Professor at the University of Washington, the University of British Columbia, the University of Alberta, and the Institute for Systems Biology. John's research investigates the systems biology related to infectious disease by using technology, computation, and high throughput biology to examine molecules in complex biological systems to better understand how the system will react to a new stimulus or perturbation. Their ultimate goal is to predict how effective a drug or vaccine will be against a particular disease and to implement it with high efficiency. When he's not in the office or the lab, John loves to be out on the water sailing and racing sailboats. He's also a fan of playing squash, skiing, spending time with his family, and being outdoors. John received his B.Sc. degree with Honors in Biochemistry from McMaster University and his Ph.D. in Biochemistry from McMaster University as well. He then conducted postdoctoral research in the Laboratory of Cell Biology at The Rockefeller University. Next, John served on the Faculty of Medicine and Dentistry at the University of Alberta. Afterwards, he became a founding member at the Institute for Systems Biology where he later served as Senior Vice President and Executive Director of Integrative Biology. While working at the Institute for Systems Biology, John also began conducting research at the Center for Infectious Disease Research where he still works today. In our interview John shares his experiences in life, leadership, and science.
