I Can Change — New Month New Way of Thinking (Physiological Sigh) A new month can feel like something between a fresh page and a quiet accusation. Part of you is already looking back — at what you meant to do, at what you promised yourself and didn't quite manage. This 10-minute guided meditation offers something kinder: a month is not a report card, and you don't need the first of September to begin again. Martin guides you through setting down the heavy backpack of everything unfinished from last month, then into the physiological sigh — two breaths in through the nose, one long breath out through the mouth. It's the fastest reset your nervous system has, and it makes the point of the whole episode better than any words can: you were already different ninety seconds later. Four guided rounds, followed by a warm golden-light body scan and affirmations for self-compassion, fresh starts and letting go. This is anxiety relief for anyone who feels behind, who is being hard on themselves about how the year is going, or who has quietly given up on something good because they "ruined it" by missing a few days. Every day is a brand new reset — every hour, every breath. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett.  ⏱️ Time Chapters * 00:00 – Cold open: a month is not a report card* 01:08 – Welcome to Calming Anxiety with Martin* 01:24 – Settling: finding your quiet place* 01:56 – The heavy backpack: setting last month down* 02:50 – The physiological sigh: the science* 03:21 – Four guided rounds* 05:25 – Warm golden light body scan* 06:20 – Today's gentle affirmations* 08:15 – Your three daily caring tips* 09:15 – Coming gently back into the room* 09:48 – Closing thoughts and sign-off

In this week's Reddit Stories episode, Jordan and Simon discuss three neurodivergent dilemmas involving boundaries, brutal honesty, family expectations and when neurodivergence explains behaviour — but doesn't necessarily excuse it.First, someone kicks their friend's autistic friend out of their home after they repeatedly ignore boundaries, burp in their face and start handling their expensive hearing aids without permission. Jordan and Simon discuss autism and social cues, respecting personal space, medical devices, direct communication and the difference between struggling to recognise an unspoken social rule and ignoring someone who has explicitly told you to stop.Next, a new mum clashes with her 19-year-old neurodivergent sister-in-law after being told that her six-month-old baby isn't actually that cute. When the sister-in-law becomes determined to make her admit it, Jordan and Simon discuss autistic bluntness, honesty versus unnecessary rudeness, learning social conventions, family members excusing behaviour because of neurodivergence and why sometimes you really don't need to say the thing you're thinking.Finally, a 20-year-old woman is told by her father that if he dies, she should take responsibility for raising her five-year-old autistic brother — despite his mother still being perfectly capable of caring for him. Jordan and Simon explore the pressure placed on siblings of disabled children, parental expectations, guilt, independence and whether being family means accepting a responsibility you never chose.The stories discussed in this episode are public Reddit posts.

What if the calmest person in the room isn't avoiding pressure, but experiencing it differently?Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is one of the world's most recognized spiritual teachers and humanitarian leaders. He founded the Art of Living, which teaches meditation, breathwork, and service in 180 countries, and he is the author of Notes for the Journey Within.Stress has a use, and Gurudev compares it to a pinch of salt in food, useful in that amount and unconsumable past it. Most of us have taken on far more than that, and have never learned how to put it down or work well with it.Gurudev and Mike get into why he defines success as exhibiting your limitation, why he thinks failure is worth being proud of, and why authority over your own mind is the only authority there really is. Mike asks him when his body last went into fight or flight. He says it never has.This one is for people who are working hard and running warm. What Gurudev points back to is small and repeatable, breathing and meditation, and he says the first sitting is enough to feel the difference.Near the end, Mike asks him to finish a sentence. Mastery is... Gurudev's answer: recognizing you are not there.Enjoy the conversation.______________________________________________________Links & Resources:Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Website: gurudev.artofliving.orgGurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar's Books: Notes for the Journey Within: Essentials of the Art of Living, An Intimate Note to the Sincere Seeker, Celebrating SilenceThe Art of Living Foundation: artofliving.orgSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!Go to: https://findingmastery.com/sponsors/Subscribe to the Finding Mastery newsletter for weekly high performance insights: https://www.findingmastery.com/newsletterDownload Dr. Mike's Morning Mindset Routine: findingmastery.com/morningmindsetFollow on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and XSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, Hilmarie sits down with Tim Thomas to explore why burnout is often less about motivation and more about exhaustion, recovery, and the state we are operating from. Drawing on his experiences in extreme environments, including military service in Afghanistan, Tim shares how confronting regret, fear, and his own physical limits fundamentally changed the way he thinks about resilience.The conversation explores why rest and recovery form the foundation of sustainable performance, how prolonged pain can turn into isolation, and why simply pushing harder can make burnout worse. Tim explains how his own struggle with severe fatigue led him to experiment with breathing practices, eventually inspiring Breathwork in Bed and his work supporting veterans, first responders, and others struggling with stress and exhaustion.A standout theme is Tim's belief that "sleep is the soil from which everything grows." Rather than treating recovery as something that happens after the important work is done, he encourages people to see it as the foundation that allows their energy, relationships, performance, and unique abilities to flourish. His message is simple: sometimes progress doesn't begin by doing more. It begins by creating the conditions to recover.About The GuestTim Thomas is the founder of Breathwork in Bed, a platform designed to help people use guided breathing practices around sleep and recovery. A former special forces candidate with wartime experience in Afghanistan, Tim has dedicated much of his later work to supporting veterans and helping people better understand exhaustion, stress, connection, and resilience.His work grew from his own experiences with extreme fatigue and recovery and later expanded into veteran support programs that used unconventional approaches, including ocean-based experiences, to help participants reconnect with themselves. Tim has also raised more than $1.3 million for veteran medical research and continues to advocate for practical approaches to improving sleep, restoring energy, and helping people bring more of their potential into the world.Quotes3:42 - You can live with people not thinking much of you, you can live without not a lot of money, but you cannot live with regret. 11:30 - I don't want to die with any ideas, hopes, and dreams still stuck in my head. 14:12 - You don't get more by doing more when it comes to your own state of burnout. You actually get more by doing less. 24:42 - Desperate decisions often lead to poor sleep, and poor sleep often leads to desperate decisions. They feed off each other.32:23 - No one's gonna make you realize your body is the most incredible regenerative thing we own. 35:56 - Your breath is gonna be your best life partner. It's gonna be your best friend going to sleep, your best friend waking up. That it's gonna be that person that's gonna be there for you at 2 a.m. when you can't get back to sleep. It's literally like waking up a the most amazing relationship you've ever had from inside your own body. 46:53 - The body knows how to charge up, but it can't do that until you allow it to feel safe.  49:43 - Don't expect from others. The answer's not in alcohol, it's actually underneath your own skin. So, if I was to put that in understandable language, for me, I still take too long to realize the answer's underneath my own skin.Useful LinksWebsite:https://breathworkinbed.com.auInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/breathworkinbed/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/breathworkinbedLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bettersleepbetterworld/The Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review

Why Does My Voice Shake When I'm Anxious? — A 10-Minute Guided Meditation for a Shaky Voice & Anxiety Relief | 6-3-9 Breathing Why does my voice shake when I'm anxious? If your voice trembles or wobbles when you talk, whether in a meeting, on the phone or just saying something that matters, this guided meditation is for that kind of anxiety other people can actually hear. Most of us assume the problem is the throat. But anxiety affects the whole system you speak with: your breathing, the muscle tension around your jaw and shoulders, and the way you control your voice. For a quiet place to return to whenever this feeling catches you out, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's free companion app.Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode explains why anxious breathing turns short and high in the chest. You try to stand an eleven-word sentence on a breath built for four, and somewhere around word seven the floor runs out. Rather than practising speaking, you'll practise the floor underneath it with 6-3-9 descending breathing: six in, rest for three, and nine slowly out. It's a long, unhurried out-breath your voice can rest on. Then come affirmations for a shaky voice, a calming aura of confidence for the throat and chest, and three caring tips for speaking anxiety. Want more support?

You leak? Must be your pelvic floor. Your back hurts? Must be your back. Your hip hurts? Work on your hip. Your core feels weak? Better do some abs. But what if we've been zooming in so far on individual symptoms and body parts that we're missing the bigger picture? Your body doesn't actually live in separate little boxes. Your pelvic floor is responding while you breathe, move, lift, walk, exercise, go to the bathroom, manage stress, and live your actual life. So in this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, we're zooming OUT. We're talking about why the location of a symptom doesn't always tell us the entire story, what happens when we start looking for relationships instead of isolated problems, and why another random exercise from Instagram might not be the missing piece you've been searching for. Because sometimes the problem isn't that you haven't found the right exercise. You may be missing the context that makes the exercise make sense. In This Episode We Explore Why we tend to think about our bodies as separate parts The difference between where you feel a symptom and the bigger picture surrounding it Why your pelvic floor doesn't work independently from the rest of your body How changing one thing can sometimes change something somewhere else What your breath, movement, tension, symptoms, and daily habits may reveal when we look at them together Why noticing relationships can give us useful information without automatically telling us the “cause” Why random exercises can leave you feeling even MORE confused The difference between collecting exercises and understanding what your body needs Why context matters when deciding what movement, exercise, or strategy may be appropriate The question that can help you start looking at your symptoms differently Why This Matters We separate the body into categories because it helps us study, teach, diagnose, and treat different conditions. But your body doesn't experience your day as a collection of specialties. Your body doesn't say: “Oh, sorry. This is a hip problem. Pelvic floor, you can clock out.”

What if you aren't broken and don't need to be “fixed”? In Fishing Without Bait Episode 533, host Jim Ellermeyer welcomes Melissa Carey for Part 1 of a four-part conversation about mindfulness, anxiety, self-awareness, and reconnecting with ourselves. Melissa begins with a powerful reflection on learning to love who she is today. From there, she and Jim explore her belief that we are already whole, even when layers of experience, relationships, expectations, and our own self-talk make that wholeness difficult to recognize. Melissa discusses the anxiety and life transitions that often bring people looking for support and explains why listening is at the heart of her approach. Drawing from her background in music therapy and her work with sound, meditation, breathwork, and energy practices, she shares one deceptively simple starting point: notice your breath. Jim and Melissa also discuss mindfulness during both difficult and positive moments, learning from obstacles, practicing coping tools before a crisis arrives, and why sometimes the most helpful next step is simply encouraging someone to seek an impartial ear through counseling or therapy. This is Part 1 of our conversation with Melissa Carey.

What if you aren't broken and don't need to be “fixed”? In Fishing Without Bait Episode 533, host Jim Ellermeyer welcomes Melissa Carey for Part 1 of a four-part conversation about mindfulness, anxiety, self-awareness, and reconnecting with ourselves. Melissa begins with a powerful reflection on learning to love who she is today. From there, she and Jim explore her belief that we are already whole, even when layers of experience, relationships, expectations, and our own self-talk make that wholeness difficult to recognize. Melissa discusses the anxiety and life transitions that often bring people looking for support and explains why listening is at the heart of her approach. Drawing from her background in music therapy and her work with sound, meditation, breathwork, and energy practices, she shares one deceptively simple starting point: notice your breath. Jim and Melissa also discuss mindfulness during both difficult and positive moments, learning from obstacles, practicing coping tools before a crisis arrives, and why sometimes the most helpful next step is simply encouraging someone to seek an impartial ear through counseling or therapy. This is Part 1 of our conversation with Melissa Carey.

Nach meinem Unfall im Frühling sind ein paar wunderbare Dinge passiert. Heilung und Regeneration, zum Glück. Ein bewegter, erfüllter Sommer. Und vier Reisen nach Leipzig, über den Sommer verteilt, um eine Frau näher kennenzulernen, der ich vor eineinhalb Jahren zum ersten Mal in Spanien begegnet bin.Seit Anfang September sind Lisa und ich in einer Beziehung, und es fühlt sich absolut richtig, natürlich und gut an. Die Geschichte dazu erzähle ich dir in dieser Podcastfolge. So viel vorweg: Sie ist hörenswert. Denn mein Surf-Unfall im April spielte dabei eine Rolle. Und auch der Ort, an dem wir einander kennengelernt haben.Genau dort laden Lisa und ich euch im Dezember zu unserem ersten gemeinsamen Retreat ein: Das ELEMENTS OF LIFE Retreat am Atlantik in El Palmar, Andalusien.Außerdem erzähle ich dir von einem Sommer, der zwischendurch ganz schön fordernd war. Ich war viel unterwegs, habe manches Mal die Balance verloren und ausgerechnet jene Getriebenheit in mir selbst wiedergefunden, die mich an der Welt da draußen so nervt. Diese Zeit hat mich daran erinnert, wie wichtig es ist, meinem Gefühl zu vertrauen und mir Raum für meine eigenen Prozesse zu nehmen. Was mir dabei hilft, wieder bei mir anzukommen – und warum ich im Oktober auf Kaffee und Zucker verzichte –, hörst du in dieser Folge.In dieser Folge erzähle ich dir:wie Lisa und ich zusammengefunden haben und welche Rolle mein Surf-Unfall dabei spieltewie Elements of Life entstanden ist und was wir für unsere Retreats im Winter und Frühling vorhabenvon innerer Stabilität, Überforderung und meinem inneren Antreiberwas mir hilft, einen Schritt zurückzutreten und wieder bei mir anzukommenwarum ich mir für Oktober eine persönliche Challenge vorgenommen habe: einen Monat ohne Kaffee und ZuckerELEMENTS OF LIFE-Retreat: Vom 5. bis 12. Dezember 2026 und vom 6. bis 13. März 2027 laden Lisa und ich dich zu einer Woche am Atlantik ein – mit Breathwork, Yoga, Bewegung, gutem Essen, Gemeinschaft und Zeit, einfach zu sein. Sieben Tage inmitten von Meer, Lebendigkeit und dem Puls des Wesentlichen. Der Early-Bird für die Winter-Edition im Dezember endet am 14.

Wir sind alle zum ersten Mal hier.Bucci und ich sprechen über den Moment, in dem ziemlich viel gleichzeitig passiert: neue Verantwortung, Veränderungen, Konflikte, Beziehungen, Familie und die Frage, ob wir eigentlich schon bereit sind für das Leben, das vor uns liegt.Wir sprechen über das Gefühl, wenn das Leben plötzlich anders läuft als gedacht und darüber, wie wichtig es ist, genau in diesen Momenten für sich selbst da zu sein. Über Veränderungen, die uns mehr über uns selbst zeigen, als wir erwartet hätten. Über Kinder, Ehe und die Frage, was eine wirklich gute Partnerschaft ausmacht.Und irgendwann landen wir bei einer Frage, die vielleicht viel größer ist als all das: Was bedeutet es eigentlich, erwachsen zu sein?Eine persönliche Folge über Partnerschaft, Liebe und Angst, Verantwortung, Egoismus, Familie – und darüber, dass wir am Ende alle zum ersten Mal hier sind.Lass uns zusammen etwas aufbauen!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Komm zum nächsten Leben reicht Breathwork x Soundbath und Community Meetup!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Schaut bei Bucci vorbei und lasst Liebe da!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Folge Aaron auf Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Folge dem Leben reicht Podcast auf Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Hier findest du alle weiteren Empfehlungen, Rabatte & Infos zu aktuellen Werbepartnern⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Sound is one of the fastest, most powerful systems in the human brain. It can soothe, destabilise, regulate, overwhelm - and, when used intentionally, it can become a profound tool for nervous system support.In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley explores the neuroscience and lived experience of sound for neurodivergent minds. From music and rhythm as ancient emotional language, to binaural beats and brainwave states, humming and vagus nerve activation, ASMR, pink noise, and the surprising science behind tinnitus and musical ear syndrome.We also talk honestly about misophonia, loud noise sensitivity, and the cocktail party effect - and why regulation, not exposure, is the key.The episode closes with a guided theta journey using Alexander Voloshin of Healing Meditation Music's theta binaural beats - an immersive sound experience designed to gently support deep rest, insight, and recalibration.If sound has ever felt like too much - or not enough - this episode will help you understand why, and how to work with it.Headphones recommended.Our Sponsors:

In traditional education and clinical settings, anatomy is typically taught from the outside in: Latin terminology, mechanical levers, origins, and insertions. But reciting muscle attachments does not heal a dysregulated nervous system or chronic somatic pain.In this episode, host Michele Lawrence sits down with pioneering yoga therapist and author Leila Stuart to explore the shift from intellectual, structural anatomy to living, experiential inquiry. Leila breaks down how reclaiming a felt sense of our tissues and bones serves as the foundation for autonomic regulation, emotional resilience, and deep trauma-informed healing.In This Episode, We Discuss:Shifting from "Cadaver" to Lived Anatomy: Moving past textbook diagrams and objectified views of the body into somatic, interoceptive inquiry.Embodiment as Resistance: Unpacking Leila's perspective on why guiding people into their felt physical experience is a profound counterweight to modern digital disembodiment.The Learn It, Feel It, Heal It Framework: A breakdown of Leila's three-part cycle for somatic integration and how to apply it across different regions of the body.Interoception and the Pancha Kosha: How developing direct internal awareness of bones, muscles, and viscera (Annamaya) reverberates through our vital energy (Pranamaya), emotional weather (Manomaya), and inner wisdom (Vijnanamaya).Trauma-Informed Somatic Pacing: Clinical strategies for introducing experiential awareness to clients experiencing hypervigilance, dissociation, or chronic pain without triggering overwhelm.The Power of Somatic Inquiry: Why neutral, non-judgmental language during self-palpation and breath awareness changes how the nervous system receives sensation.Practical Invitations for Clinicians: Simple steps yoga therapists and practitioners can take today to embody experiential anatomy in their own bodies and clinical practices.Resources & Links MentionedLeila Stuart's Books:Experiential Anatomy: Therapeutic Applications of Embodied Movement and AwarenessPathways to a Centered Body (co-authored with Donna Farhi)Connect with Leila Stuart: https://leilastuart.com/Support the showConnect with Inner Peace Yoga TherapyEmail us: info@innerpeaceyogatherapy.comWebsiteInstagramFacebook

It's booked, it's in the diary, somebody's said yes — and yet when anyone asks, you hear yourself say, "if it happens, we'll see. I'm not getting excited yet."

In this week's Reddit Stories episode, Jordan and Simon discuss three neurodivergent dilemmas shared by the online community.They begin with a woman at breaking point after her husband stops taking his ADHD medication and insists that ADHD is his “superpower” — while his impulsive spending, emotional outbursts and inability to manage everyday responsibilities leave her carrying the household. Jordan and Simon discuss ADHD medication, emotional regulation, burnout, accountability, relationships and the difference between accepting neurodivergence and refusing support.Next, a father is furious after his wife explains the reality of death to their eight-year-old autistic son, leaving him terrified by the idea that life eventually ends. Jordan and Simon explore autism, childhood anxiety, literal thinking, religion, death, parenting neurodivergent children and whether protecting children from difficult subjects can sometimes make those subjects even scarier.Finally, someone reaches breaking point with a friend who has self-diagnosed ADHD but refuses to seek a professional diagnosis, while repeatedly using ADHD to explain their behaviour.

Why Can't I Accept a Compliment? — A 10-Minute Meditation for Deflecting Praise and Receiving Kindness Somebody said something lovely to you recently, and you did that thing — the little wave of the hand, "oh, stop it," or you fired one straight back at them, quick as anything, so the spotlight had somewhere else to go. Afterwards, maybe an hour later, maybe in the car, there was that little thought: why did I do that again? You can hand out compliments all day long, but you can't take one yourself.

Healing Your Relationship with Food, Alcohol, and Yourself with Stephanie HazardMany of us turn to food, alcohol, or other coping mechanisms when life feels overwhelming. But what if those behaviors aren't signs of weakness or failure? What if they're actually attempts to feel safe?In this insightful episode, Linda sits down with recovery coach, speaker, and author Stephanie Hazard to discuss healing our relationship with food, alcohol, and ourselves. Stephanie shares her personal journey, which began at age 11 when she went on her first diet after years of teasing and comparing herself to her mother, a model and actress. What started as a desire to be accepted eventually developed into an eating disorder and later struggles with alcohol.Stephanie explains that addictions and unhealthy behaviors often serve an important purpose, even when we're not consciously aware of it. At their core, they help regulate our nervous system and create a sense of safety. Whether it's controlling food intake, drinking alcohol, or engaging in other compulsive behaviors, these actions are often attempts to soothe emotional distress and regain a sense of control.Drawing from Polyvagal Theory, Stephanie explains how our nervous system constantly scans for safety or danger. When we understand these biological responses, we can approach recovery with greater compassion and effectiveness. Rather than asking, "What's wrong with me?" we can begin asking, "What happened to me?" and "What do I need to feel safe enough?"During this conversation, Stephanie also clarifies the difference between coping mechanisms and coping skills. While coping mechanisms often help us avoid, numb, or escape uncomfortable emotions, coping skills help us build a healthier, more fulfilling life.In recognition of National Recovery Month, Stephanie shares her own recovery journey and discusses the many resources available to support healing. She describes recovery as a "stew" made up of many helpful ingredients, including therapy, support groups, recovery coaching, breathwork, community, and self-awareness. She emphasizes that recovery is not one-size-fits-all and encourages each person to define what recovery means for them.Whether you're navigating challenges with food, alcohol, or any other unhealthy coping pattern, this episode offers hope, practical tools, and a compassionate reminder that recovery is about much more than quitting a behavior—it's about creating a life that feels meaningful, connected, and joyful.About Stephanie HazardStephanie Hazard is a Certified Recovery Coach, Certified Peer Recovery Specialist, Certified Eating Disorder Recovery Coach, speaker, and author of Making Sobriety Stick. She specializes in helping individuals heal from eating disorders, alcohol dependency, and other addictive behaviors through trauma-informed and polyvagal-informed approaches.Learn more about Stephanie and her work at:Path Toward RecoveryKey TakeawaysAddictions often develop as attempts to create safety and regulate the nervous system.Food and alcohol are frequently used to soothe emotional discomfort rather than satisfy physical needs.Polyvagal Theory helps explain why we react differently depending on whether we feel safe, threatened, or overwhelmed.Recovery begins with compassion and understanding, not shame and self-criticism.Coping mechanisms numb or avoid difficult emotions; coping skills help create a healthier life.Recovery looks different for everyone and should be tailored to individual goals and values.Being "alcohol-free" can feel more empowering and intentional than viewing recovery as restriction.Healing involves reconnecting with yourself, your body, and supportive relationships.Breathwork, active listening, and nervous system regulation can be powerful tools for recovery.Lasting recovery is about creating a life that feels joyful, meaningful, and worth living.Listen, Share, and SupportIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who may need hope today.Be sure to subscribe, leave a rating and review, and help us spread more healing and inspiration to the world.Free Resource for HealingIf you're ready to release stress, calm your mind, and begin healing from within, visit:

What if spirituality didn't have to be another thing on your to-do list?You don't need to meditate for 40 minutes, create the perfect morning ritual, build a full moon altar, or escape to a retreat to feel more connected to yourself and your intuition.This week, we're welcoming back one of our soul sisters and trusted Seeking Center guides, Lizzi Cutler, for a conversation about making spirituality EASY, practical and part of your actual everyday life.Lizzi is a transformational coach and intuitive energy healing practitioner who helps people clear old beliefs, emotional blocks and stuck energy so they can move forward with more clarity, confidence and purpose. She also works with business leaders, bringing her intuitive abilities into spaces where you might not expect them, and helping people see what may not be obvious on paper.We're talking about how to create small spiritual “micro-moments” throughout your day—while you're working, parenting, driving, making decisions, dealing with difficult people…or completely losing your sh*t.Because those little moments matter.Lizzi shares how simply acknowledging an intuitive nudge, checking in with your energy or taking control of your breath can begin to change how you move through your day. Her own phone even reminds her every afternoon: “Feel good now.” Not because everything has to feel good—but because we can pause and ask ourselves whether there's a tiny shift available to us in that moment.We also get into what happens when life DOESN'T feel good.Lizzi opens up about grief, insecurity, feeling powerless and those moments when we get sucked into our own stories. Instead of judging or immediately trying to escape those feelings, what if we allowed ourselves to experience the full spectrum of being human?Sometimes the pain is there because there has been so much love.Plus, we talk about bringing intuition and spirituality into the workplace, why so many people still feel like they have to hide this part of themselves professionally—and what could change if intuition became another valuable tool we brought to the table.This conversation is your reminder that spirituality doesn't have to be complicated. Start small. Pay attention. Take a breath. Say thank you. Notice the sign. The magic may already be happening right in the middle of your everyday life.WHAT YOU'LL LEARNHow to weave spirituality into your everyday life without making it a full-time jobWhy spiritual “micro-moments” can prepare you for the bigger moments in lifeA simple way to acknowledge your intuition—and strengthen your connection to itWhat Lizzi does when she catches herself spiraling or feeling like she's “not enough”Why your breath can be one of the fastest ways to reconnect with your powerHow to find where you DO have control when life feels completely out of your controlA different way to look at grief, pain and the harder parts of the human experienceWhy we're so quick to explain away signs and synchronicities—and what happens when we simply acknowledge themHow Lizzi is bringing intuition into business and helping leaders make more aligned decisionsWhy normalizing intuition and spirituality may change how the next generation approaches life and workMORE FROM LIZZI CUTLERVisit lizzicutler.com to learn more about working with Lizzi and explore her coaching, intuitive work and healing offerings.TONIGHT: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 22- GROUP ENERGY ALIGNMENT : You lay back (on zoom, camera off) - Lizzi's clear the mental noise, the heaviness, and the ICK you've picked up from everyone else.

How many of us have journeyed through this life without some form of disordered eating patterns or an eating disorder? My guess is, if we were honest, the answer is very few. We live in a world constantly feeding us images of bodies that are desirable, even when trends change, they are often not realistic bodies that most of us live in.It is SO easy to fall into patterns or either restricting and/or binge-eating. Sometimes it's body image based, sometimes it's gut health based, sometimes it's even orthorexia (obsession with purity or healthy eating).I've personally experienced all three. So what can we do to both acknowledge these patterns in ourselves, and also find paths to a more harmonious relationship with them? How can cycle tracking (from a body literacy lens), herbal allies and the frame of harm reduction support us?This is what today's guest - student midwife and FAM educator Kaeleigh Terrill - speaks to from both an embodied and a professional perspective.It is SUCH a needed conversation. May we have many more of these.Resources:Today's shownotes: Grab Kaeleigh's zine on herbs for harm reduction etcFee Guide: Get started with Fertility Awareness Method cycle trackingEpisode 4: Tulsi herbal spotlightEpisode 21: Disordered eating, chronic illness & cycles w Lisa MaseEpisode 68: Milky oats herbal spotlightEpisode 75: Breathwork, body image & disordered eatingEpisode 86: Ashwagandha herbal spotlightIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Pins and Needles Anxiety — A 10-Minute Meditation for Tingling Hands and Panic You're sitting perfectly still and your hand doesn't feel like your own hand. That prickling in your fingers, a strange half-numb feeling in the palm — so you test it, open and close your fingers, hold your hand up and look at it, and the more you look, the stranger it feels. If you've been searching for pins and needles anxiety, or wondering about tingling hands anxiety, this guided meditation is for that exact moment. For a place to return to when the sensation comes back, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's free companion app — there's no symptom list inside, nothing to look up, just a voice for ten minutes and somewhere quiet to put yourself.Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode uses "walking the breath" — three steps in, four steps out, or gentle finger-taps if you're seated — to ground the body, then moves into affirmation work that reframes pins and needles as a sensation rather than a verdict on what's wrong with you. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – When Your Hand Doesn't Feel Like Your Own* 00:42 – Welcome & Anchored* 01:22 – Why Pins and Needles Happen* 01:43 – Breathing: Walking the Breath (3 In, 4 Out)* 04:16 – A Word From the Ambulance Days* 05:14 – Warmth Spreading to Your Fingertips* 05:50 – Affirmations for Tingling Hands* 07:28 – Settling Deeper* 08:38 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 09:38 – Coming Back Gently* 10:11 – A Note From Martin 

Fascia, lymphatic drainage, and HRV training: four episodes' worth of lessons, distilled into one solo recap you can actually use.Freddie opens with Lauren Sambitaro's cadaver-workshop story: two women of similar age, wildly different fascia — one pliable and gel-like, one dried out and restrictive. The lesson isn't just about fascia itself, it's about hydration. Freddie breaks down a simple daily water target (body weight ÷ 2 = ounces), why filtered/reverse-osmosis water can leave you mineral-depleted even while "hydrated," and why a sedentary, shallow-breathing lifestyle stalls the lymphatic system that's supposed to clear cellular waste in the first place. He shares a free biofeedback hack — a belt or necktie wrapped around the belly to feel diaphragmatic breath — and talks through his own recovery from abdominal adhesions using long, breath-paired fascia holds.From there, he revisits Dr. Paul Savage's take on total plasma exchange (TPE): a real, medically-used detox therapy that's gained mainstream buzz, but — per Savage himself — isn't necessary for everyone, and runs $6,000–$13,000 per treatment in the US. Freddie's framing stays consistent with the show's editorial stance: TPE is promising, but it's not independently validated as a must-have, and the same detox pathway (the lymphatic system) can be supported for free through movement, breath, and sauna use. He references a commonly-cited figure — a 40% reduction in all-cause mortality from frequent sauna use — while flagging it as a bold, widely-repeated claim worth treating with appropriate skepticism rather than as settled science.The episode closes with Matt Bennett's HRV and resonance breathing work: an affordable, no-affiliate-code tracker ($150, lifetime access) that Freddie contrasts with thousand-dollar biofeedback and EEG sessions — the tool doesn't need to be expensive to be effective, it needs to be used consistently. Freddie shares his own nightly and morning routine (dark room, no late eating, morning sunlight, red-tinted glasses) as the "boring" foundation underneath all the higher-tech tools in his home, and tells the story of sharing that tech with a local high school football player — watching him regain mobility and turn in a standout game the same night.The through-line: expensive, cutting-edge therapeutics have real value, but they're not required. Movement, breath, hydration, and consistency are free, unglamorous, and still do most of the work.Episode Highlights 00:00 Introduction to Body Wisdom and Self-Listening00:30 Balancing External Guidance with Inner Signals01:27 Tools and Therapeutics Discussed02:26 Recap of Recent Episodes and Key Lessons02:56 Lauren Sambitaro's Cadaver Workshop Insights04:21 Hydration, Fascia, and Pain Management05:50 Lymphatic System and Movement Strategies07:15 Breathwork and Nervous System Awareness09:08 Therapeutic Techniques for Fascia and Adhesions11:26 Total Plasma Exchange and Detoxification13:48 Measuring Toxins and Personalizing Detox14:42 Sweating, Sauna, and Toxin Elimination16:00 Heart Rate Variability and Resonant Breathing17:00 Affordable Biofeedback and Self-Regulation18:53 Overwhelm and Simplifying Health Practices20:10 Sleep Hygiene and Daily Routines22:07 Sharing Wellness Practices with Others23:31 Success Stories and Community Impact24:59 Resources, Courses, and Next StepsUpgrade Your WellnessLightpath LED Red Light Therapy — Full-body and targeted red light therapy designed to support recovery, cellular energy, circulation, and everyday wellness.

What if balance is not a fixed point we finally reach, but a living relationship with what is happening?In this episode of Mindful Mondays, Ashley explores the space between holding on and letting go, certainty and possibility, roots and wings. Beginning with the image of a surfer responding to the movement of a wave, she asks what changes when we stop searching for the permanently correct position and begin listening for what this moment actually requires.Today's Bite-Sized Buddhism wanders next door into Taoism through the ancient story of the Chinese farmer and his enduring response to apparent fortune and misfortune: “Maybe.” Alongside Alan Watts's backwards law, the story invites us to leave a little room around the meanings we assign while life is still unfolding.With essential Neurodivergent Nuance, Ashley considers why routine, predictability and clear answers may be genuine forms of nervous-system support - and why flexibility should never become another demand to override ourselves.Drawing upon David Eagleman's image of roots and wings, Ido Portal's “wild and wise,” emerging neuroscience around creativity, Carl Jung's transcendent function and Mark Nepo's reflections on fragility and resilience, the episode explores the human capacities that appear to oppose one another but may actually need each other.Even Cookie Monster makes an appearance as an unlikely Taoist philosopher.The episode closes with a guided practice, Roots and Wings. Through the natural movement of the breath, you will be invited to honour the truth already present within you while making room for another truth to exist beside it.Not everything must be resolved today. Sometimes we need only enough grounding to remain - and enough freedom to move.Practise with Ashley on Insight Timer:https://insighttimer.com/AshleyDupuyExplore From Mask to Map and more:https://www.integrativeiom.co.ukOur Sponsors:

What do you do before your feet hit the floor? I don't mean coffee or exercise. I mean the minutes before you get out of bed. My guest, Tim Thomas, calls the first five minutes after waking and the last five before sleep the two golden five minutes.

In this episode, we cover how to use breath to change your state, keep worry from hijacking your attention, and build an easy on-ramp so the habit survives a bad morning.

Why Does September Feel So Heavy? — A 10-Minute Meditation for End-of-Summer Sadness and Seasonal Low Mood You're standing in the kitchen and it's already getting dark. A few weeks ago there was still plenty of light at this time. The summer's gone, the children are back at school, the diary's filling up again — and somehow you're feeling worse, not devastated, not falling apart, just flat. That can be the frightening part, because nothing bad has actually happened. If you've been wondering about September sadness, or asking yourself why do I feel sad when summer ends, this guided meditation is for the next ten minutes of your day. For company on the darker evenings ahead, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's companion app, with Books at Bedtime sessions to fall asleep to and a timer that switches off on its own.Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode uses alternate nostril breathing (nadi shodhana) to settle you, then works with the specific fear that comes from low mood with no obvious cause — reframing it as the season changing, not you failing. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – Why Does September Feel So Heavy?* 01:12 – Welcome & Anchored* 02:24 – Breathing: Alternate Nostril (Nadi Shodhana)* 04:53 – Putting Down "What's Wrong With Me?"* 06:45 – Affirmations for the Season Turning* 08:38 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 09:33 – Coming Back Gently* 10:11 – A Note From Martin 

I Think I've Lost a Friend, and I Don't Know Why — A 10-Minute Meditation for Friendship Loss and Ambiguous Grief There's a particular kind of loss that doesn't come with a day attached. No one moved away, there was no row, nothing you could point to and say "that's where it happened." It just went quiet — a little less often, then a lot less often — until one evening you realised you couldn't remember the last proper conversation, and underneath it all, the question you've been embarrassed to say out loud: what did I do? If a friendship has faded without explanation, this guided meditation sits with that ambiguous loss and the grief that comes with it. For a place to return to whenever this feeling resurfaces, download Anchored, Calming Anxiety's companion app.Get it on the App Store at https://apps.apple.com/us/app/anchored-panic-anxiety/id6785035669 or on Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.martinhewlett.anchored. Hosted by clinical hypnotherapist and former paramedic Martin Hewlett, this episode uses a slow 4-2-6 breath (in for four, a two-count pause, out for six with an audible sigh) before moving into affirmation work that separates the loss of a friendship from any need to know what went wrong — and gives you permission to simply miss someone. ⏱️ Time Chapters* 00:00 – "What Did I Do?"* 00:56 – Welcome & Anchored* 01:36 – Settling In* 01:59 – Breathing: 4-2-6, the Sighing Exhale* 04:39 – Affirmations for a Faded Friendship* 08:16 – Three Daily Caring Tips* 09:16 – Coming Back Gently* 09:53 – A Note From Martin 

What happens when music becomes more than entertainment?In this deeply personal conversation, we explore the intersection of music, consciousness, spirituality, self-discovery, meditation, creativity, and healing.The conversation takes us from Guatemala and the mystery school Las Piramides to years of meditation, extended silent retreats, creative exploration, psychedelic experiences, and the search for deeper states of consciousness without relying on external substances.We also explore how music can become a form of spiritual practice, how creativity can emerge through intuition and presence, why authenticity matters more than commercial success, and how sound can create a profound sense of connection between people.From discussions about Burning Man, Lake Atitlán, Vipassana, breathwork, retreats, psychedelics, suffering, healing, and the creative process to reflections on wealth, freedom, love, presence, and the meaning of life, this episode is ultimately a conversation about looking inward.A conversation about going beyond the music to understand the person, the journey, and the consciousness behind it.⏱️ Chapters00:00 — The Journey Begins: Guatemala, Music & Consciousness03:16 — Leaving Colorado & Discovering a New World09:23 — The Milestones That Shaped the Journey11:09 — Vipassana, Silence & Deep Retreats12:16 — Three Months Alone in the Mountains15:03 — Spiritual Development Over Material Success16:20 — Can Music Heal?
