How many of the beliefs shaping your identity as a woman are truly yours, and how many were planted by a culture that profits from your self-doubt? Josh Trent welcomes Dr. Amanda Hanson, Psychologist, Author, and Transformative Speaker, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 786, to explore why so many women feel broken inside a culture designed to keep them small, how beliefs from our lineage shape identity, how aging awakens feminine truth, and what it means to become a woman who leads from grounded power instead of inherited pain. Magnetic: A Women-Only Immersive Experience In just 2 days, you will bring back your magnetic energy, build an unshakable foundation of self-worth, and properly process years of suppressed pain. No woman is broken. Most are just unmothered. And sometimes, even the women who seem to have it all: success, intelligence, ambition... find themselves face to face with an invisible wall. They've read the books, gone to therapy, attended the retreats... But something is still missing. What's missing is YOU. Not the woman who is holding it all together because no one else will. Not the woman who's high-achieving, high-functioning, but is profoundly neglected. Not the woman who holds space for everyone else but feels unseen. The real you. The one who knew how to rest without guilt, laugh without filtering, and cry without apologizing. The one who was radiant without trying, before she believed she had to earn love by shrinking. The one who knows her worth. It's time to bring her back.

Because as soon as they get a woman afraid, she'll buy something and that's a multi-trillion dollar system. Skinny trend, big butts trend, boobs trend, thick eyebrows trend...

“You already have it.”We say it all the time. But in this episode, we take that phrase literally. This conversation is Part Two of last week's episode on DNA Awakening, a continuation and deepening of the transmission around Gene Keys, consciousness, and the living codes within you.This conversation is a deep transmission on what it truly means to be guided from within. To recognize yourself as the oracle, the blueprint, the living archive of the universe's intelligence.Drawing from Gene Keys, DNA activation, consciousness science, vitality, health, creativity, and lived experience, we explore the idea that every answer, vision, gift, and next step is already encoded within you. Nothing is missing. Nothing needs to be fetched from outside yourself.If you've ever felt like you're searching for clarity, purpose, healing, or direction, this episode is an invitation to stop looking outward and start remembering inward.In this episode, we explore:What it really means to say “you have it all within you”The inner guidance system and awakening the Oracle withinHow DNA, Gene Keys, and consciousness codes shape your realityWhy visions aren't something to chase but, frequencies asking to activate inside youLight, shadow, and how your gifts evolve through expressionCreativity as a literal life force (and why not creating feels like depression)Vitality as free-flowing energy, not something to “fix” or outsourceWhy health, healing, and trust return when you reclaim authority over your bodyHow inspiration bridges the seen and unseenLearning, mentors, books, and containers as activation mirrors, not pedestalsWhy shadow phases are not failures but, necessary expressions of your codeHow committing to your creative expression synchronizes you with universal energyWhat it looks like to live in alignment with your mission and watch life respondThis episode is raw, expansive, and multi-layered. It's one of those conversations that lands differently depending on where you are in your journey but, no matter what, it will remind you of something essential: You are already carrying the codes. And life is simply showing you where to look.

Most female founders are trying to scale on top of a body that's running on empty — and then blaming their mindset, discipline, or strategy when things feel hard.In this episode, we're talking about true nourishment: not another diet, not another “plan,” but the cellular, nervous-system, and energetic fuel your body needs to actually hold the business you're building.You'll learn why your food choices are not just a “health thing,” but a core business strategy that determines your clarity, capacity, and ability to lead.And if you're thinking, I need this especially for the holidays, I'll also share how the Holiday Survival Kit can support you in staying nourished and grounded in the busiest season of the year.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARNWhat “true nourishment” really is for female entrepreneurs (beyond diet culture and “food is just fuel”)How food acts as an energetic message to your cells, nervous system, and leadershipThe cellular impact of blood sugar instability on your focus, mood, and decision-makingWhy high-achieving women dismiss their bodies while trying to scale their businessesThe real cost of building a bigger business on a dysregulated, underfed bodyHow to discern between “all foods are equal” messaging and what actually supports your performanceThe connection between nourishment, nervous system regulation, and your capacity to handle stressPractical first steps to fueling yourself in a way that matches the business you're asking to growRESOURCES MENTIONED
Today's episode is one so many women over 40 will relate to - because pelvic floor issues are far more common than anyone talks about.I'm sitting down with one of my incredible clients, Jill, to talk openly about her pelvic floor journey:the frustrations, the fear, the awkwardness, the rehab… and ultimately, the strength and confidence she's rebuilt along the way.Jill shares:When she first noticed pelvic floor symptoms and how they affected her workoutsThe movements that felt off-limits before treatmentWhat finally pushed her to see a pelvic floor physical therapistThe surprising things she learned about her bodyHow she's safely reintroduced strength training and rebuilt trust in her coreThe mental side - the frustration, the fear, and the confidence that followedWe also talk about what she wishes every woman knew about pelvic floor issues, and how normal (and fixable!) they often are.This is a real, honest conversation - not medical advice - meant to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and help women recognize they're not alone.Whether you're dealing with leaking, pressure, fear around lifting, or you're just curious about pelvic floor health, this episode will leave you feeling seen, empowered, and hopeful.If you've ever thought, “Is it just me?” - this one's for you.Tune in and let's dive in.
There comes a point where you have to stop asking, “Why are they doing this to me?” and start asking, “Why do I keep allowing it?”In this episode of You're Probably Right, MCM speaks straight to the ones who have given more to one person than they ever have to anyone else – more money, more time, more patience, more emotional support – and got the least in return. You showed up as the best version of yourself, and they responded with crumbs, confusion, and bare minimum effort.This is not about calling you weak. It is about understanding why you overgive, why you accept disrespect, and why you keep fighting for people who would never fight for you in the same way. We break down what is really going on when you become the permanent giver, and why the real pattern is not just about “takers” – it is about how you see yourself.In this episode, MCM talks about:What an unbalanced relationship actually feels like in your bodyHow childhood roles and people pleasing turn into overgiving in adult relationshipsThe quiet “deal” you make in your mind when you hope effort will buy loyaltyThe emotional cost of overgiving: exhaustion, resentment, and losing yourselfWhy respect matters even more than “I love you” in male and female relationshipsHow takers learn your limits by watching what you allowWhy you have to stop trying to earn love through suffering and sacrificePractical steps to rebuild self worth, set real boundaries, and stop trying to fix people with effortHow to start loving yourself without turning cold or bitterIf you have ever wondered, “Would they still be here if I stopped doing everything?” this episode is for you. It is not about blaming you for their behaviour, it is about giving you your power back so your love and your self respect can finally walk together.

In today's episode of the 30 Days to Happiness Podcast, I'm joined by breathwork facilitator, mentor, and nervous system expert Chris Payten — and this conversation is truly life-changing.We dive into the science behind your breath — the part nobody talks about — including how CO2, oxygen regulation, nasal breathing, and even short breath holds can instantly shift your emotional state, boost mental clarity, and calm your nervous system.Chris shares openly about his own healing journey: breathwork sessions that released trauma, resurfaced subconscious memories, and helped him rebuild from depression, grief, and identity loss. His story shows how healing doesn't always require words — sometimes it just requires breath.We explore:
A lot of women in midlife are walking around feeling like they're broken. You've done the labs, seen the specialists, tried the supplements… and you're still exhausted, inflamed, and wondering if this is just your new normal. My guest today says absolutely not.Dr. Karyn Shanks is a physician, author, and pioneer in whole-person healing whose work sits at the intersection of cutting-edge science, trauma-informed care, and what she calls “soulful personal agency.” For over three decades, she's helped thousands of patients recover from chronic illness, burnout, and emotional disconnection—not by chasing symptoms, but by teaching them to listen to the intelligent messages their bodies are sending. Her new book, Unbroken: Reclaim Your Wholeness, challenges the old medical model that fragments us (mind over here, body over there) and reframes illness as a call to reconnect with ourselves rather than proof that something is wrong with us.In this conversation, we dig into what it really means to heal from the inside out—especially in midlife, when chronic stress, caregiving, perfectionism, and old narratives can keep us stuck in survival mode. Dr. Shanks breaks down the science of epigenetics and neuroplasticity in simple, hopeful language, shows how trauma and limiting stories shape our biology, and shares practical “micro-practices” anyone can use to begin moving toward wholeness today.We cover:Why “you are not broken” is more than a comforting phrase—it's biologyHow epigenetics and neuroplasticity give us real power to change our health storyThe hidden ways trauma and productivity culture keep midlife women sick and depletedSimple daily practices to check in with yourself, build intuition, and create safety in your own bodyHow to start advocating for yourself when you've felt dismissed or unheard in the medical systemIf you've ever felt unseen by your providers, stuck in a diagnosis, or disconnected from your own body, this episode will give you both a new lens—and a starting place—for true healing.You can find Dr. Karyn Shanks at https://www.karynshanksmd.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/karynshanksmd/Her book, Unbroken: Reclaim Your Wholeness, is now available wherever books are sold._________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

What if you could use “weight release” to get back to who you were always meant to be?
If you've ever felt frustrated with your body -- how it looks, how it feels, or how it functions — you're not alone. So many of us have treated our bodies like problems to solve or projects to perfect, believing that if we could just “fix” them, we'd finally feel whole. But what if the invitation isn't to control your body, but to care for it as the good gift God created it to be?In this episode, Jordan shares the heart behind her new book Be Good to Your Body and opens up about her own journey from striving and restriction to grace and stewardship. Through personal reflection and biblical truth, she helps us reframe how we view our bodies, moving from frustration and control toward freedom and trust in the way God designed us.What You'll Learn:Why your beliefs about your body shape your behaviors toward itHow “discipline” can quietly turn into self-punishmentThe difference between supporting and controlling your bodyHow to spot when wellness becomes an idolWhat Scripture says about your body as a good gift from GodOne mindset shift that can help you treat your body with grace, not guiltLinks:Grab Your Copy of Be Good to Your BodyFollow Jordan on InstagramGet 10% Off Crunchi using "ADVOCATE10" Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

And how it quietly fuels bingeing, overthinking, feeling stuck, and SO much more.In this episode, we chat about:Why constant productivity and “shoulds” disconnect you from your bodyHow ignoring your body's messages leads to bingeing, scrolling, and other “symptoms”Why bingeing isn't the problem, it's a signal from your bodyThe real reason slowing down feels so uncomfortable (and why it matters)A 10-minute challenge to start rebuilding your connection todayHow embodiment, nervous system regulation, and inner wisdom are key to lasting food freedomLinks:
Conflict is one of the most paradoxical things I've encountered—in my own life and in the lives of my clients. For those of us who have been shaped by good girl conditioning, conflict most often feels like danger and disconnection. But when it happens within a container of safety and self-connection, it becomes a doorway to vulnerability, intimacy, and power. In this episode, I explore why we avoid conflict and share personal stories that demonstrate the freedom you can find when you say what needs to be said. Here's what I cover:How the emotional burden of unspoken words lives in the bodyHow cultural and gender conditioning teach people socialized as women to stay silentTwo real-life examples of how I apply what I teach about conflict and communicationWhy self-love and compassion are essential for knowing when and how to speak upHow practicing the skills to have hard conversations leads to freedom and connectionFind Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

A former political influence consultant, profiler, and civilian hostage negotiator, she's helped top law firms select high-stakes juries, coached Shark Tank's fastest deal-closer, and advised everyone from television producers to sales reps on how to “hack” human behaviour to get results. But here's the question: Can she really profile anyone in just 90 seconds? Is her ability a legitimate superpower … or something else? You decide. In this episode of 97% Effective, watch as she turns her methods on host Michael Wenderoth, and then listen as they discuss her background and training, the art and science of her craft, and the myths that swirl around in her field.

The state of our nervous system impacts the predictions that we're making about the people and the world around us. And the work lies in identifying all of the ways in which we don't trust in ourselves or trust in life and then bring courageous curiosity towards those areas" — Jonny Miller "Any conflict is a potential edge to grow from. There's always going to be rupture in relationships. It's about how lovingly can you repair? How quickly can you go from conflict back to connection?" — Jonny Miller "We are in a world which worships self development. But there's a great distinction in self-development and self-unfoldment. When you're approaching inner work through the lens of self-developemnt, it often has this premise of part of me is broken and I need to fix it. Self-unfoldment, ot the other hand, starts with the premise of I am already whole and worthy of love." — Jonny Miller

What if your Intuition was leading down a path of what to say "yes" to? What to create next? And what if you could actually build a BUSINESS from that place of knowing? If you've been tuning into the newer season of Boss Goddess, then you may have noticed an emphasis on leveraging Intuition when it comes to business. When we can tap into that truth that we already have within us - that can guide us in our decision making and can inform us on what feels best for US to pursue on a big level and also with smaller decisions that we encounter through out the day - we gain access to a powerful way to navigate our lives. My guest today, has done just that. She has created a beautiful business infused with this message to honor yourself in your truth, as you are, in all of your being.

The carefully curated infusions in every SIIKA Herb + Honey Co. product are created to nourish and nurture the body, mind, and spirit.If you're wondering how to make more space for your own intuition to speak a little louder and guide you a little more often towards decisions that are in alignment with WHO you are in both business and in life, Makuyo shares how she cultivated her practice of intuitive connection and self-awareness and how it led to guiding her to creating her brand SIIKA Honey + Herb Co. Be sure to listen all the way to end for some guidance from Makuyo on how YOU can get started with your own intuitive practice or deepen or reconnect with the one you already have.In this episode, you'll learn:How to determine the difference between fear and intuitionThe role the subconscious mind plays in our belief-systemLearning how intuition speaks to you through your emotions and bodyHow to leverage your intuition to create and navigate a businessLinks:Activate Your Passion with Podcasting Soirée En Blanc - L.A Event Use code BGP10 for 10% off your tix for the Soirée En Blanc event in Los Angeles on June 27th, 2025.IG:@boss_goddess.co IG:@bossgoddessbarsi Pinterest: @bossgoddessbarsi Visit: https://www.boss-goddess.co More from Makuyo:Follow: @siikaherbandhoneyco on Youtube, Pinterest, Instagram & FacebookCelebrated for her intuitive approach to wellness, Makuyo envisioned a brand that merges the seemingly divergent domains of the feminine spirit and luxury—revealing their shared depth and richness.Desiring to harmonize her own professional...
