What if your hormone imbalance is not just a hormone problem, but a nervous system and emotional overload problem?  In this episode of The Ben Azadi Show, Ben Azadi welcomes back Dr. Sonya Jensen to explore why so many women feel puffy, inflamed, exhausted, and hormonally off even when labs look “normal.” Dr. Jensen connects inflammation, cortisol, progesterone depletion, estrogen dominance, and liver support with the deeper layers most people miss: stress patterns, identity roles, generational stories, and the constant input from news and social media. They also dive into her new book, Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself, plus practical tools like breathwork, red light, seasonal whole foods, and gentle nervous system regulation. Key Topics Covered Why hormone symptoms can reflect emotional and relational overload Nervous system dysregulation, cortisol, adrenaline, and progesterone depletion How chronic stress can create a bigger estrogen to progesterone imbalance Why blood work can look normal while you still feel off Urine hormone metabolite testing and what it can reveal about detox pathways Breathwork for lowering cortisol and shifting into rest at night Red light as a nervous system tool, especially in the evening Liver support for inflammation and hormone clearance (milk thistle, turmeric) Calming herbs: ashwagandha, lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), skullcap, ziziphus Whole foods and seasonal eating, including “the season of life” concept Movement without overtraining, including walking and habit stacking HRV as a helpful metric, plus the importance of listening to your body How doom scrolling impacts dopamine, oxytocin, and your sense of safety Mitochondria, maternal stress patterns, and inherited nervous system wiring Dopamine as motivation and joy, and oxytocin as bonding and connection Resources Mentioned Dr. Sonya Jensen Website: https://www.drsonyajensen.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drsonyajensen/?hl=en Book Heal Your Hormones, Reclaim Yourself: https://healyourhormonesbook.com Follow Ben Azadi

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:

Pelvic floor tips to move from tension and guarding to comfort and confidence If you've been listening to this series and thinking… “Okay, I understand what might be causing my pain.” “I see how stress and mental load are affecting my body.” “But what do I actually DO?” This episode is your next step. Pain with intimacy is common — but it is not something you have to push through, numb out, or accept as your new normal. Today we're talking about practical, body-based strategies to reduce pelvic floor tension, rebuild safety, and gradually restore comfort and confidence in the bedroom. Because healing isn't about forcing relaxation. It's about creating safety. In This Episode, We Cover: Why pushing through pain makes it worse The pain → guarding → more pain cycle Why many women with painful intercourse actually have an overactive pelvic floor (not a weak one) The importance of downtraining before strengthening 360 breathing and long exhale techniques to calm tension “Hip breathers” and mobility work that support pelvic relaxation External soft tissue release before internal work How to approach dilators or pelvic wand work safely (if appropriate) The power of slowing down arousal and removing performance pressure Lube, positioning, and small environmental shifts that make a big difference How graded exposure helps retrain the brain and calm pain pathways The Big Reframe Pain with intimacy is not a sign that you are broken. It is information. Your nervous system and pelvic floor are communicating something — often about tension, overwhelm, fear, or past experiences. When we respond with pressure, force, or avoidance, the guarding increases. When we respond with safety, breath, and gradual progression, the body adapts. Your brain and pelvic floor are deeply connected — and both can relearn safety. Practical Starting Points If you're experiencing pain with intercourse, consider: ✔️ Pausing penetration temporarily ✔️ Focusing on breath and long exhales daily ✔️ Addressing hip, inner thigh, and glute tension ✔️ Prioritizing arousal before penetration ✔️ Experimenting with positions that give you control ✔️ Removing pressure to “perform” Remember: intimacy does not equal penetration. Connection and pleasure are broader than we were taught. When to See a Pelvic Floor PT You may benefit from professional support if: Pain persists beyond a few months You have a history of tearing or scar tissue You experience severe guarding or anxiety You're avoiding intimacy entirely DIY approaches aren't helping Inside RESTORE, we focus on breath coordination, nervous system regulation, mobility, and pelvic floor retraining in a progressive, supportive way. For more complex or severe pain, 1:1 pelvic floor physical therapy may be the best next step. You do not have to navigate this alone. Up Next in the Series In our next episode, we'll talk about rebuilding confidence and reclaiming pleasure — not just reducing pain. Because healing is not just about eliminating symptoms. It's about expanding what's possible. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who needs to hear that pain with intimacy is treatable — and that softness is strength. ~ XO Dr. Des

In this Hot Topic episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Simon Scott is joined by Ashley Dupuy to explore why the news feels so overwhelming — especially for neurodivergent brains.With relentless headlines, graphic footage, political division, and algorithm-driven doom-scrolling, they unpack how constant exposure to crisis can heighten anxiety, disrupt sleep, and intensify black-and-white thinking.Ashley explains the role of the brain's reticular activating system (RAS) — the internal filtering system that shows us more of what we focus on. When we consume dark, catastrophic stories repeatedly, our brains begin scanning the world for more threats, reinforcing anxiety and hypervigilance.They discuss:Doom-scrolling and negativity biasHeightened empathy and justice sensitivityPTSD and re-traumatisation through graphic mediaADHD, stimulation-seeking, and news addictionBlack-and-white thinking in polarised timesThe pressure to “have an opinion” on everythingFeeling powerless outside your circle of controlSocial conversations built around “ain't it awful”News detoxes and intentional media boundariesUsing gratitude and inspiration to rebalance the brainA thoughtful, honest discussion about emotional intensity, media overwhelm, and how to stay informed without sacrificing your nervous system.Our Sponsors:

Send a textWinter is long. And right now, we're in this unique in-between place: the light is slowly returning, but we still have weeks (or months) of cold, heavy weather ahead.If you're feeling the weight of winter, you're not alone. And more importantly, you're not supposed to be producing at summer's pace right now.In this conversation, I sit down with Brett Aldrich—breathwork practitioner, Ayurveda counselor, and founder of Seed the Spirit—to talk about what's actually happening in our bodies during winter, why seasonal affective disorder is real (but also misunderstood), and how to work with the season instead of against it.Brett shares her own journey from social work burnout to discovering Ayurveda on a little note card in a shop—and how that small piece of wisdom changed everything. We explore the rhythm of winter, the pressure to keep producing when nature is asking us to rest, and why breathwork became the "missing puzzle piece" in her healing journey.This episode is for anyone who's struggling right now—whether that's with seasonal depression, exhaustion, or simply the cultural pressure to keep going when your body is asking you to slow down.What You'll Learn in This Episode:What's actually happening in your body during winter from an Ayurvedic perspective (and why it's natural to feel heavier, slower, more inward)Why late February/early March is uniquely challenging—we're moving from Vata (cold, mobile, erratic) into Kapha season (heavy, wet, earthy), and that transition can feel intenseThe truth about seasonal affective disorder—how to discern between the natural slowness winter asks for vs. when you need more supportWhy the pressure to keep producing is working against you—and what would happen if we actually honored our natural rhythmsHow breathwork works as medicine—the difference between controlled yogic breath and cyclical breathwork for releasing what you can't put words toBrett's journey from burnout to Ayurveda—stumbling into a practice that finally made sense, and how small shifts created big changeThe power of going with your natural flow—why honoring your constitution and the seasons is actually rebellious in our cultureSimple, doable practices for winter wellness—no expensive supplements or complicated protocols, just wisdom you can use todayWhen to reach out for professional help—and why there's no shame in thatKey Themes:This episode is about permission—permission to slow down, to honor winter's natural rhythm, to be gentler with yourself. Brett reminds us that we're not machines designed to produce at the same rate year-round. We're humans. We're part of nature. And nature has seasons.Connect with Brett:Website: Seed the Spirit Resources:Free Masterclass: The Alchemy of the Perimenopause Portal Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Simon Scott is joined by Ashley Dupuy to explore the emotional reality of unmasking as a neurodivergent adult — especially after late diagnosis.With Jordan still in New Zealand, Simon and Ashley dive into identity shifts, grief, anger, boundaries, and the destabilising question so many people face:Who am I without the mask?They discuss how masking begins as a survival strategy rooted in nervous system safety, but can eventually leave you disconnected from your authentic self. From overcorrecting into bluntness to navigating workplaces and losing friendships built on compliance, they unpack what really happens when you stop performing.This episode explores:The identity crisis after late diagnosisGrief, anger, and the “what could I have been?” questionFawning, people-pleasing, and compliance-based friendshipsOver-correcting during early unmaskingAddiction, substances, and masking sociallyBeing told “you've changed”Boundaries and losing fair-weather friendsProfessional masking and workplace minefieldsThe difference between authenticity and dysregulationNervous system regulation as the foundation of unmaskingCuriosity vs shame when you “get it wrong”A thoughtful, validating conversation about learning to be yourself — slowly, imperfectly, and without burning your life down in the process.Our Sponsors:

Signs, symptoms & why waiting until postpartum may be the harder path Most women don't even know they can see a pelvic floor physical therapist while pregnant. They're told leaking is normal. Pelvic pain is normal. Pressure is normal. Back pain is normal. And while those symptoms may be common in pregnancy — they are not something you simply have to live with. In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down when to see a pelvic floor PT during pregnancy, what red flags to watch for, and why proactive support can completely change your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. Because pregnancy isn't something you're meant to survive — it's something you can move through with strength, strategy, and support. In This Episode, We Cover: Why pelvic floor PT during pregnancy is often overlooked The biggest misconception about “waiting until postpartum” Common but NOT normal symptoms in pregnancy Bladder leaking, urgency, and frequent UTIs Pelvic pain, pubic symphysis pain, SI joint pain, and tailbone pain Vaginal pressure or heaviness Pain with intercourse during pregnancy How breath mechanics and posture shift as baby grows Why prevention is easier than rehab What a pelvic floor PT actually does during pregnancy Birth prep strategies including pushing mechanics and positioning

What got you here won't get you there. And maybe you don't really know that this constant sense of urgency that you feel about being left behind is actually a function of your nervous system still in survival mode.  definitely is a difference between having aspirations, goals, and desires but what happens when you are in the pursuit of those things from a place of feeling like they can be taken from you at any given time? What does it say about your desire to belong? ________________________________ ▲ Become a certified breathwork facilitator: https://www.flowbreathworktraining.com/ ▲ Learn your Healer Archetype: www.alwaysplay.org/healerarchetype ▲ Read my Breathwork book, Breathe: www.alwaysplay.org/orderbreathe ▲ Free Playground for Mystics: https://tinyurl.com/playground222 ▲ Connect on social: @shanila.sattar ▲ YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/shanilasattar ▲ Healing Arts Practitioner Training Program Immersion: www.alwaysplay.org/immersion

The Lunar New Year marks a turning — a gentle invitation to begin again.In this week's episode, Natalie explores a quiet, powerful truth: hope is the ability to take one more step. Not a leap. Not a perfect plan. Just one small, steady movement forward.Through calming breath work and full-body relaxation, you'll be guided to soften the body, settle the mind, and reconnect to your inner steadiness. This practice isn't about forcing optimism. It's about finding enough space inside yourself to keep going — even tenderly, even slowly.If this year has felt heavy, uncertain, or overwhelming, let this be your pause. Your reset. Your reminder that hope doesn't have to be loud to be real.Sometimes hope is simply choosing to take one more breath.One more step.And beginning again.Support the Smith FamilySeveral people have asked how to support our family during this time.

If the word gratitude has ever made you roll your eyes, this episode is for you.This isn't about toxic positivity or pretending everything is fine. It's about neuroscience.In this episode, Ashley explores how gratitude reshapes your Reticular Activating System (RAS) — the brain's internal filter that decides what gets noticed. For neurodivergent nervous systems wired for intensity, pattern recognition, and threat detection, that filter can easily become tuned toward what's overwhelming or missing.Gratitude, practised intentionally, becomes a neural training practice.You'll learn how negativity bias and modern media hijack your attention, why simply searching for something to appreciate changes your brain, and how a simple six-week challenge can gently retrain your inner lens.This is grounded, science-backed, and fully relevant to the lived experience of neurodivergence.Gratitude isn't naive.It's neural.Our Sponsors:

In this episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott explore the powerful impact of the British biographical drama I Swear — a neuroaffirming film based on the life of John Davidson, who developed Tourette's syndrome as a child and later became a speaker and advocate.They reflect on their wider experiences of being neurodivergent — the bullying, blame, masking, rejection, and misunderstanding that shaped their early lives. The film mirrors what it feels like to grow up different in a world that often responds with judgment rather than understanding.Jordan shares memories of being mocked at school and blamed for behaviours he couldn't control, while Simon opens up about the emotional impact of recognising how much he has masked over the years.The conversation also explores how society can “disable” people through discrimination and rigid expectations, and how those social responses create lasting wounds. They reflect on the film's empowering message of turning lived experience into advocacy — and how authentic neurodivergent representation can help transform pain into purpose and community.They discuss:Tourette's syndrome and visible ticsChildhood bullying and social rejectionBeing blamed for behaviours you can't controlMasking and suppressing neurodivergent traitsAnxiety and symptom exacerbationLaw enforcement misunderstandingsDisability vs social disablementGrowing up feeling “othered”Authentic neurodivergent representation in filmTurning lived experience into advocacy and communityAn emotional, reflective episode about neurodivergence, identity, stigma, and the power of storytelling to shift perspective and create change.Our Sponsors:

Hi friends! I have a brand new podcast episode live, and today we're diving into a topic that so many women are confused about but deeply affected by: perimenopause. I'm joined by the amazing mother-daughter duo, Candace and Jess from Your Hormone Balance, and we're breaking down what perimenopause actually is, why it can start earlier than most women expect, and how chronic stress and nervous system dysregulation play a huge role in hormone imbalances, fatigue, mood swings, weight gain, and more. This episode is especially for you if you're in your 30s or 40s, feeling "off" in your body, struggling with sleep, energy, anxiety, or changes in your cycle - and being told everything is "normal." Here's what we chat about: What perimenopause really is (and why it's an 8–10 year transition, not a single moment) The early signs of perimenopause, including changes in your cycle, mood, sleep, and energy Why progesterone is often the first hormone to decline — and how that impacts anxiety, PMS, and stress tolerance How chronic stress, overworking, under-eating, and people-pleasing disrupt ovulation and hormone balance The connection between nervous system dysregulation and symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, bloating, and low libido Why so many women are estrogen dominant — and how stress drives that imbalance The importance of hormone testing (and why symptoms alone don't tell the full story) Simple, realistic nervous system practices to lower cortisol and support healing Breathwork techniques like the "physiological sigh" to calm anxiety in real time Everyday vagus nerve tools: humming, singing, grounding, and gentle movement How boundaries, asking for help, and reducing people-pleasing can literally improve your hormones Why heavy, painful, or irregular periods are not something you should ignore The role of protein, nourishment, and avoiding extremes with exercise and caffeine This episode is such a powerful reminder that your body isn't broken;  it's responding to the life you're living. And with the right tools, support, and awareness, you can move through perimenopause feeling calmer, stronger, more regulated, and more in tune with your body. I hope you enjoy this episode!

How stress, emotional disconnection, and overwhelm impact intimacy (and what to do about it) If you've ever thought… “I love my partner, but I just don't want sex.” “By the end of the day I'm touched out.” “I feel guilty that I'm never in the mood.” “Something feels off… but I don't know what.” This episode is for you. Low desire isn't always hormonal. It's not always about attraction. And it's definitely not because you're broken. More often than not, it's about mental load, nervous system overwhelm, and emotional disconnection. In today's episode, we're unpacking the invisible weight women carry — and how that weight directly impacts pelvic floor tension, arousal, pain with intercourse, and overall intimacy. Because desire doesn't disappear randomly. It gets crowded out. In This Episode, We Cover: What the “mental load” actually is — and why it's exhausting your nervous system How chronic stress increases pelvic floor tension and guarding Why feeling unsupported during the day shows up in the bedroom The connection between cortisol, safety, and arousal How resentment and emotional disconnection subtly affect your body The “Mental Load → Guarding → Guilt” cycle many women are stuck in Simple ways to rebuild emotional intimacy without pressure or performance Why This Matters for Pelvic Health Your pelvic floor does not exist in isolation. When you're in fight-or-flight all day — planning, managing, caretaking, carrying the emotional labor of your home — your body does not magically flip into relaxation mode at night. Arousal requires parasympathetic safety. Pleasure requires softness. Connection requires nervous system regulation. You cannot feel open in a body that feels responsible for everything. Practical Ways to Bridge Emotional Intimacy We discuss: ✔️ Reducing the invisible labor load ✔️ Non-sexual connection rituals ✔️ Regulating your nervous system before initiating intimacy ✔️ Expanding your definition of intimacy beyond performance ✔️ Creating safety in micro-moments, not grand gestures Because foreplay doesn't start in the bedroom. It starts in how supported you felt all day. Want a Structured Way to Rebuild Safety in Your Body?

What happens when a high-level business coach with a background in engineering and computer science decides to stop playing small and finally embrace her true calling as a magician? In this episode, I'm joined by the incredible Elizabeth Purvis. Elizabeth has spent nearly two decades as a powerhouse in the coaching industry, but beneath the surface of her success, there was a deeper metamorphosis waiting to be triggered.We dive deep into Elizabeth's journey through my Metamorphosis and Mothership programs, where we uncovered the specific childhood wounds and inner child patterns that were keeping her business in a box. It's one thing to have the skillset, which Elizabeth has in spades, but it's another to lead from a place of complete embodiment and energetic alignment. By doing the trauma healing necessary to feel "safe" enough to be her full, magical self, Elizabeth has successfully bridged the gap between logic and spirit.If you're a business owner feeling like you've hit an invisible ceiling, this conversation is your roadmap. We discuss why healing wounds from the past is the ultimate strategy for business expansion and how Elizabeth is now fulfilling her purpose of bringing magic to the mainstream.TODAY'S HIGHLIGHTSMeeting Elizabeth PurvisThe Metamorphosis beginsHealing the Inner Child in businessLogic meets magic: A unique approach to successBringing magic to the mainstream "It's the time to act"Overcoming the "coachy" languageSafety and Support in Trauma WorkTransforming an internal state to show up differently in businessBridging the gap between spiritual healing and mainstream business**WAYS TO ENTER MY WORLD**  When you leave a review of the podcast, send us a screenshot and we'll send you a $250 credit, you can apply to anything else in my world.Practical solutions, breathwork sessions, journaling prompts, and more...

In this milestone 100th episode of The Neurodivergent Experience, Jordan James and Simon Scott reflect on self-sabotaging behaviours — from procrastination and perfectionism to impulsivity, addiction, rigid thinking, and negative self-talk.They share personal stories about turning down opportunities, abandoning creative projects, gaming addiction, risk-taking, substance use, phone dependence, and the ways neurodivergent intensity can both fuel success and quietly derail it. The conversation explores how fear of failure, rejection sensitivity, and the need for stimulation often sit beneath these behaviours.From code-switching and conscious camouflaging to asking “do you want my opinion?” before giving it, they reflect on how intentional change, emotional regulation, and meeting people where they are can reduce conflict without losing identity.They discuss:Procrastination, perfectionism, and fear of failureNegative self-talk and rejection sensitivityRisk-taking, addiction, and impulsivityGaming, gambling, substances, and phone dependenceRigid thinking and relationship conflictOversharing and social misstepsAuthenticity vs accountabilityCode-switching and conscious camouflagingMeeting people where they are Learning to pause before speakingA reflective, honest episode about growth, responsibility, and the messy reality of being neurodivergent — 100 episodes in.Our Sponsors:

Okay, y'all. Buckle up for a full-body reminder: there is nothing wrong with you. In this episode, I'm throwing down the truth about judgment (yours and everyone else's), ego meltdowns, pink hair stereotypes, and what happens when you finally shut up long enough to hear what's going on in your own head. We get real about red pepper anxiety, the silent retreat that changed me, and the quote that's been living rent-free in my brain: “No one will ever love you the way you want to be loved… because that's your job.” Spoiler: there's also a blue breath meditation to clear out your throat chakra so you can speak your truth without all the noise. It's part pep talk, part truth bomb, and all heart. Let's go.

Why slowing down may be the missing piece in healing, strength, and confidence If you've been doing “all the right things” — exercising, stretching, eating well, trying to rest — and your body still feels tight, painful, fatigued, or stuck… this episode is for you. So many women believe their body is broken when healing doesn't happen fast enough. But more often than not, the issue isn't what you're doing — it's the pace you're asking your body to heal at. In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down why rushing healing backfires, how cultural pressure teaches women to override their body's signals, and what your nervous system actually needs in order to feel safe enough to change. This conversation isn't about one symptom or diagnosis — it's about learning how to work with your body instead of against it. In this episode, we explore: Why women are conditioned to rush healing and “push through” How the nervous system responds to pace — and why safety matters more than intensity Signs your body may be asking you to slow down (even if your mind says otherwise) The difference between real progress and burnout disguised as discipline What a supportive, sustainable healing pace actually looks like How slowing down can lead to stronger, more confident movement long-term You'll walk away feeling less pressure, more clarity, and a deeper sense of trust in your body — without being told to stop moving or lower your goals. ✨ This episode sets the foundation for everything that comes next, including how pace impacts pain, tension, strength, and connection in the body. Ready to feel supported instead of guessing? If you're craving structure, guidance, and a pace your body can actually trust, this is the approach I use inside RESTORE, my 12-week pelvic floor & core healing program inside the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App. RESTORE walks you through breathwork, movement, strength, and nervous system regulation in a way that feels safe, doable, and sustainable — no rushing, no pushing, no shame.

Nitric oxide is a molecule your body already makes. It tells your blood vessels to open so blood can flow to your heart, your brain, and yes… your genitals. When it's flowing, erections are firmer, tissues are plumper, lubrication shows up naturally, and pleasure builds the way it's supposed to. When it drops? Everything fades. And most people have no idea that's what's happening. This episode is your roadmap to getting it back.WHAT WE COVERWhat nitric oxide does in your body and why Dr. Willow calls it your "natural opening signal"Signs yours might be low (softer erections, vaginal dryness, orgasms that feel like a fraction of what they used to be)Foods that boost it naturally: beets, arugula, spinach, dark leafy greensL citrulline and L arginine: the amino acid supplements that support nitric oxide (and why you take them daily, not right before intimacy)Saunas, steam rooms, and infrared: how heat widens blood vessels, lowers cortisol, supports testosterone, and detoxes endocrine disruptorsThe VFit red light therapy device: Dr. Willow's favorite intimate wellness tool for tissue health, natural lubrication, and sensitivity (Halle Berry is a fan too)A Tantric breathing practice for couples: synchronized breath, bellies together, hip spirals, pelvic floor pulses.

Perimenopause and menopause don't mean your body is “failing”—they're often your body asking for a new kind of support.In this episode, I'm joined by two trusted South Florida wellness leaders: Rebecca Kastin (functional nutrition + mind-body eating coach) and Heather Marcus Berg (yoga + meditation + Buteyko breathwork instructor). Together, we unpack what's really happening in midlife—and the small, practical shifts that help women feel balanced again.We talk about:Why “meno belly,” hot flashes, brain fog, and sleep disruption are often connectedThe #1 mistake women make with food in midlife (and what to do instead)How meal sequencing can help stabilize blood sugar and support hormonesWhy progesterone/estrogen shifts can change breathing patterns—and how that impacts anxiety and sleepButeyko breathwork basics: nasal breathing, nervous system regulation, and micro-practices you can actually stick withWhy healing isn't all-or-nothing: small daily shifts create real changeIf you've been told everything is “normal” but you don't feel normal—this conversation will help you feel seen, supported, and empowered with a clear next step.ResourcesRebecca Casten: https://rebeccakastincoaching.com/ Heather Berg: https://soulgardenyoga.com/ | @soulgardenyoga.wellnessLearn more about The Inflammation Code: https://theinflammationcode.comTake The Dosha Quiz: https://shivanigupta.com This Episode is Sponsor By: Fusionary Formulas , shop at www.fusionaryformulas.com Use code CODE15 for a 15% off on your first order

Send a textLesson 17: The Journey of the SoulSection 4: The Journey of Awakening BeginsParagraphs: 6-8What if the life that looks spotless on paper still leaves you restless at 3 a.m.? We go straight at that tension, unpacking why the ego excels at survival yet struggles with meaning, and how disruption—pandemic, loss, global chaos—can become a doorway to a truer self. From the “smug 40s” to the ache that asks Who am I beyond my roles?, we trace the arc from order and control to humility and presence.We talk candidly about numbing—achievement, shopping, alcohol, screen-time, busywork—and why the nervous system chases predictability even when it costs us aliveness. Then we lay out a different path: expand your capacity to sit in the unknown, feel the full range of emotions without labeling them as problems, and gently disidentify from the body without denying it. Breathwork, meditation, music, art, and movement become practical doorways to the felt sense of being more than the mind. The head can study spirituality; the heart knows.Along the way we explore identity, status, and letting go of strategies that once worked. We render unto Caesar—careers, bills, families—while remembering we are not of the world's fear. We look at AI and shifting work as a mirror for the deeper question of value: if output defines worth, what happens when machines do more? The answer points back to awareness, connection, and service. Community matters, because people anchored in love help us remember when we forget. If you're standing at the threshold between the life you built and the life your soul wants, this conversation offers language, tools, and permission to cross.If the show supports your path, subscribe, share it with someone in transition, and leave a review.

This energy is about PLAY and enjoying the PATH rather than having obsessions over the outcome.    ________________________________ ▲ Become a certified breathwork facilitator: https://www.flowbreathworktraining.com/ ▲ Learn your Healer Archetype: www.alwaysplay.org/healerarchetype ▲ Read my Breathwork book, Breathe: www.alwaysplay.org/orderbreathe ▲ Free Playground for Mystics: https://tinyurl.com/playground222 ▲ Connect on social: @shanila.sattar ▲ YouTube: https://youtube.com/c/shanilasattar ▲ Healing Arts Practitioner Training Program Immersion: www.alwaysplay.org/immersion

Seeing your life clearly doesn't mean seeing it harshly.In this episode of Mindful Mondays, we explore how mindset and reframing shape not just how we think - but how our nervous system experiences the world.Many neurodivergent and highly sensitive people live with a loud inner commentary. Thoughts can feel convincing, critical, and fixed - yet thoughts are not facts.Together, we explore:* Growth mindset through a neurodivergent lens* Why reframing supports nervous system safety (not toxic positivity)* How meaning - not circumstances - shapes our experience* Why challenges often deepen, rather than diminish, a meaningful lifeDrawing on wisdom from thinkers and creatives including William James, Hugh Mackay, Tina Turner, Joan Rivers, Kurt Vonnegut, and Michael Jordan, this episode invites a gentler, truer way of seeing yourself.You'll also be guided through a reflective visualisation - The Gallery of Your Life - offering a new relationship with past moments, old judgments, and the stories you live inside.This is not about fixing yourself.It's about learning to see yourself in a way that supports you.Our Sponsors:

Send a textLesson 17: The Journey of the SoulSection 4: The Journey of Awakening BeginsParagraphs: 1-5Ever feel like you're doing life “right” and still missing the point? We explore how identity gets shaped by family, culture, and the systems we grow up in—and what it takes to stop performing and start living from the inside out. Drawing on Jeshua's teaching that most of us begin as a “bundle of reactivity,” we unpack why approval-seeking and safety-chasing run the show in our early years and how genuine awakening starts when we question the scripts we inherited.I walk through the messy beauty of the 20s: the rush of freedom, the turbulence of consequences, and the illusion that we already know ourselves. Then we enter the 30s, when individuation deepens and the soul's voice gets louder. We explore a practical framework of consciousness—life happens to me, for me, from me, life is—and show how it can shift daily choices around work, love, and purpose. Along the way, I share personal pivots from chasing status to choosing alignment, the role of spiritual psychology in reframing my path, and the practices that keep me rooted when old patterns try to reclaim the wheel.We also map generational conditioning with compassion—those family slogans and silent rules that kept prior generations safe but may keep us small. By surfacing patterns without blame, we gain freedom to honor our lineage while choosing new responses. Expect real talk on career crossroads, the pressure to “have it together,” and the steady movement from outside-in living to presence-driven choice.

In this powerful conversation, Katie sits down with Jason, co-founder of Revelation Breathwork, mentor, facilitator, and spiritual psychologist, to unpack what breathwork really is and what it absolutely is not.This episode goes far beyond technique. Together, they explore healing as loving the places inside that hurt, why the breath does the work (not the facilitator), and how breathwork has quietly transformed professional athletes, Navy SEALs, entrepreneurs, coaches, and everyday humans alike.If you've ever felt the call to healing work, breathwork facilitation, or simply want to understand trauma, manifestation, and nervous system regulation on a deeper level this conversation will land in your bones.How Jason discovered breathwork—and why his very first session changed everythingIntroducing breathwork into professional sports & military settingsWhy you cannot re-traumatize someone through breathworkThe truth about “energy protection” (this one might surprise you)Healing vs. fixing: why you were never brokenTrauma-informed breathwork & the nervous system (polyvagal theory explained simply)Ego, humility, and what actually makes an effective facilitatorWhy waiting to be “fully healed” is often just resistance in disguiseHow breathwork unlocks business ideas, clarity, and manifestationIntegrating breathwork into coaching, retreats, corporate spaces & beyondThe Revelation Breathwork Facilitator Training + what to expectRevelation Breathwork Facilitator Training (affiliate link – supports Katie & the work
