In this thought-provoking episode of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, host Jamie Belz, sits down with fellow FNTP, Patti McCoy, Assistant Instructor at the Nutritional Therapy Association and long-time adult educator, to unpack one of the most paradigm-shifting books on mental health today: Lost Connections by Johann Hari. What if depression and anxiety are not primarily caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, but by a series of broken connections in our lives? Together, Patti and Jamie explore how this book, combined with their work in functional nutrition and the Foundations of Health, can completely reframe how we view mental health, burnout, and the endless "hustle and numb" culture so many of us are stuck in. Some Topics Touched on: Disconnection from meaningful work, other people, meaningful values, childhood trauma, status and respect, the natural world, etc., and how all of this shows up as very real symptoms in the body: depression, anxiety, chronic stress, poor sleep, blood sugar swings, and "feeling like a shell" of yourself Many people are told, "Your brain is broken, here's a pill," and are given an SSRI instead of being asked, "What happened to you—and when did this start?" How childhood trauma and ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) can shape the HPA axis, stress response, food relationships, and long-term health The impact of intergenerational trauma, and how science now shows that stress imprints can be passed down biologically through both mother and father The "dash lights" on your body's dashboard and why symptoms (including nausea, anxiety, insomnia, low mood) are messages, not design flaws to be suppressed How screens, constant notifications, and the pressure to respond to everyone all the time are quietly eroding our capacity for deep connection, quiet, and repair Coping mechanism: alcohol, sugar, shopping, scrolling, gaming, pornography, or Netflix - and how these become nurseries for more trauma and disconnection How the Foundations of Health: digestion, blood sugar regulation, a nutrient-dense diet, sleep, stress management, hydration, and movement - create the biological stability we need to heal Marriage and relationships in the age of screens – the difference between being in the same room and actually being together The loneliness of remote work and why some of us didn't realize how much we needed daily in-person interaction until it was gone The loss of third spaces and micro-communities after COVID Why "busy" has become a bizarre badge of honor, and how Distraction Detox and intentional boundaries around technology can restore sanity and presence Resources Mentioned: Book – "Lost Connections: Uncovering the Real Causes of Depression – and the Unexpected Solutions" by Johann Hari Book – "Molecules of Emotion: The Science Behind Mind–Body Medicine" by Candace B.

This week on The Zen Effect Show, Ep. 172…We're going deeper than “protect your peace” and stepping into the real work of energetic responsibility. I'm having a rich conversation with Shamanic healer Kady Morgan. We are discussing the truth that most people don't want to acknowledge.

DISCONNECTION FROM OUR LORD GOD | WS#475 | November 30, 2025 | Victory Church#VictoryChurch #OdessaTX

We're back with a new listener AMA, and this one goes deep into the heart of what so many of you have been asking about lately: healing, forgiveness, energetic boundaries, and what it really means to stay aligned when life throws you lessons you never asked for. As always, it's just me and my wife, Alyson Charles Storey, sitting down at home to explore your questions with honesty, humor, and a whole lot of spiritual perspective.In this conversation, we unpack what forgiveness actually looks like—especially when the other person never takes accountability. We talk about how to work with resentment, rumination, and intrusive thoughts without spiritually bypassing or numbing ourselves. You'll hear us dive into the difference between emotional processing and feeding old mental loops, the role of humility in resolving conflict, and why “letting go” is often more about moment-to-moment surrender than a single breakthrough.We also get into questions around shamanic perspective, karmic lessons, and how to discern when an experience has alchemized into wisdom versus when it's still asking for attention. Along the way, we touch on rituals, inner work, and the spiritual tools we each turn to—plus plenty of personal stories, laughter, and real-life marriage moments.Thank you to every listener who submitted a question. Your curiosity and vulnerability shape these episodes, and we're grateful to walk this path with you. Keep the questions coming for the next AMA.

In this powerful episode, licensed clinical social worker and certified sex addiction therapist Mordy Gottlieb pulls no punches as he exposes how shame, perfectionism, and emotional disconnection are silently eroding men's lives. From hiding true selves behind masks to living a “living death” at 10% capacity, Mordy shares why most men only seek help after crisis hits (and usually because their partner forced them). He reveals practical ways to drop the armor, feel emotions in the body instead of the head, and finally start living instead of just surviving. Key Takeaways: Shame's core belief: “If you really knew me, you wouldn't accept me” → this creates deep loneliness even inside marriages and families. Perfectionism isn't strength; it's a shield that guarantees burnout and disconnection. Most men don't come to therapy because they want change; they come in their 40s-60s after relationships, work, or addictions collapse. Vulnerability is required for real intimacy; without it, your partner can only love the mask, not you. Experiential therapy works because it gets men out of their heads and into their bodies (focus on physical sensations, not “feeling words”). Hidden disconnection shows up as 6-8 hours of mindless scrolling, numbing, and avoiding what's really going on inside. First micro-step to reconnect: find anything safe (nature, a tree, a pet, a book) and let yourself feel supported. Biggest myth to retire: “Life shouldn't be hard.” Accept that struggle is normal; chasing perfection keeps you miserable forever. Men have become “nice guys” who never say no or express needs → this breeds resentment and destroys accountability in relationships. Ultimate fear holding men back: abandonment. Speaking your truth risks rejection, but silence guarantees disconnection. Permission to play: healing isn't just serious work; it's also about becoming childlike, having fun, and not taking life so damn seriously.

What if chasing “one more healing” is the very thing keeping you from feeling whole??In this episode, Byron and Michael look at the fine line between helpful practice and healing addiction. They name the hidden driver—pain and disconnection—and how it can turn breathwork, plant medicine, and nonstop workshops into a spin cycle that never truly lands. Byron questions the inner program of “I am broken,” and offers a reframe: protect your energy with gentleness, boundaries, and integration—letting insights settle before reaching for the next fix. They contrast feminine healing (feeling, processing) with masculine commitment (clear intentions, follow-through), reminding us both are needed. Instead of digging forever, he suggests real-time healing: slow enough to notice what's alive now, journal it, meet responsibilities, and return to it with honesty. The heart of his message: stop outsourcing your power to healers or methods; claim your own change. If you've ever felt stuck in “just one more ceremony/class/session,” this conversation gently opens the door out.—-------—-------—-Episode Chapters:00:00:00 Introduction00:02:26 Addiction vs. Habit00:05:31 Pain, Disconnection, and the Void00:07:49 Dopamine, Sugar, Coffee, and Phones00:10:27 When Healing Becomes a Spin Cycle00:13:46 The “I Am Broken” Program00:16:15 Gentleness Without Bypassing00:18:08 Self-Talk, Journaling, Therapy00:21:10 Ahimsa & Svadhyaya in Practice00:27:03 Intention, Commitment, and Balance00:28:36 Integration > Endless Doing00:35:11 Real-Time Healing00:39:31 Altered States vs. Slowing Down00:41:07 Pedestals, Gurus & Claiming Your Power00:44:13 No Finish Line; Keep It Human00:46:10 Closing—-------—-------—-

If you've ever wondered why you feel numb, disconnected, or unable to access the full depth of your emotions—this episode may hit closer to home than anything you've heard before.In today's episode, I dig into one of the most overlooked factors in porn addiction recovery: your relationship with your physical body. We talk about why so many men feel emotionally flat, why empathy feels harder than it should, and why your motivation and sense of direction can feel so distant—even when you're trying your best to change.And the truth is not what most of us were taught.Porn addiction isn't just a “mind” problem.It's not just a spiritual issue.It's not even primarily about willpower.Porn addiction is deeply tied to emotional numbness—numbness created by years of disconnecting from your body.Neuroscience is very clear: when your insula (the brain's interoception center) becomes weakened through compulsive behaviors, overstimulation, and technology addiction, your ability to feel, connect, empathize, and motivate yourself declines dramatically.In other words:The less connected you are to your body, the easier it is to get stuck in porn. And the more embodied you become, the easier recovery becomes.I also share my personal journey—how I unknowingly detached from my body through achievement addiction, overstimulation, and constant phone use… and how reconnecting with my body changed my emotional life, my marriage, and my recovery.This episode will help you understand:Why you feel numb—and how to reverse itWhy empathy feels hard—and how to get it backWhy porn cravings stay strong—and how embodiment dissolves themWhy your identity feels shaky—and how to anchor it againHow to restore the body–mind connection that drives true recoveryIf you're ready to experience real emotional presence, deeper connection with your wife, healthier masculinity, and the strength required to overcome porn addiction long-term, this episode is a must-listen.This is not about willpower. It's about embodiment. It's about reconnection. It's about becoming whole again.Listen now and learn how to feel again.Link to Blog Article for this EpisodeIf you're ready to build the mindset and lifestyle that lead to long-term freedom from porn addiction, visit NoMoreDesire.com and apply for my 1-on-1 Porn Addiction Recovery Coaching Program.

The Pleasure Zone with Milica Jelenic - Diamond Host This episode explores how men unconsciously limit their capacity for pleasure — emotionally, physically, and energetically — through cultural conditioning, nervous system patterns, and unhealed shame.

In this episode, I'm joined by world-renowned trauma expert Dr. Diane Poole Heller for a profound conversation on attachment wounds, healing relational trauma, and the path back to secure connection. Diane shares insights from decades of work in Somatic Experiencing and her DARe™ model, helping us understand why so many of us feel unsafe in intimacy—and what we can do about it.We explore the origins of avoidant, ambivalent, and disorganized attachment patterns, how early ruptures shape adult relationships, and why nervous system regulation is key to healing. Diane brings a grounded, compassionate perspective to the messy, tender process of becoming securely attached, whether you're in a relationship or not.This conversation is full of lightbulb moments, practical takeaways, and gentle reminders that secure connection is not just possible—it's our birthright.Connect with Diane:www.traumasolutions.comhttps://www.instagram.com/traumaattachmenttraining/❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“Connection is a biological imperative—we're wired to attach, even when it hurts.”“You don't have to wait for a perfect childhood to have a great adulthood.”“Healing attachment wounds isn't about fixing—you're not broken.

Cristie craved physical intimacy with her husband, but the more she talked about it, the less she got. She tried everything she could think of: scheduling doctor visits, suggesting sex therapy, looking up solutions from marriage experts—nothing worked. She didn't feel desirable anymore. Then her husband said he wanted to leave so she could find someone who could make her happy, because he wasn't able to. Cristie was shocked. But then she stumbled on something that changed everything. She learned to relinquish control and find her own power. The transformation was almost immediate. Today, Cristie feels desired again. Their intimacy—both inside the bedroom and out—is playful and easy. Her husband makes her laugh when she's tense. He plans getaways for just the two of them. He surprises her with luxury gifts that make her feel adored. Their marriage is full of warmth and constant laughter.

Today, Dr. Stephanie Holmes talks with Occupational Therapist, Kelly Mahler. The topic is interoception! Every neurotype can struggle with it, but we find neurodivergent folks can have a few more challenges with interoception.Defined by Kelly's website: Many people notice these feelings in their body with the help of an important sense… a sense called… interoception.Don't let the name fool you. The word interoception might not sound very sexy or important. But this sense is a really big deal. Interoception has a huge influence on many areas of our lives, like self-regulation, mental health, and social connection. About our Guest:Kelly Mahler, OTD, OTR/L, earned a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Misericordia University, Dallas, PA. She has been an occupational therapist for 20 years, serving school-aged children and adults. Kelly is the winner of multiple awards, including the 2020 American Occupational Therapy Association Emerging and Innovative Practice Award & a Mom's Choice Gold Medal. She is an adjunct faculty member at Elizabethtown College, Elizabethtown, PA as well as at Misericordia University, Dallas, PA. Kelly is a co-principal investigator in several research projects pertaining to topics such as interoception, self-regulation, trauma & autism.

  In this conversation, Therese explores the importance of authentic communication and the challenges of connecting with others in both personal and professional settings. She emphasizes the need to embrace our humanity, especially in business, and the significance of understanding generational differences. She also delves into the difficulties of disagreement and the necessity of cultivating curiosity and connection to bridge divides. Ultimately, Therese advocates for a journey towards authenticity and the power of being present with ourselves and others.   "What makes us actually thrive at our jobs?" "Can we create a safe place for the youth and the elderly?" "We are creating polarization."   Authenticity in communication captures attention and fosters connection. Disconnection often arises from the pressure to perform rather than be genuine. Embracing our humanity is essential for thriving in business environments. Generational gaps can lead to misunderstandings; curiosity is key to bridging them. Disagreement can be a source of growth if approached with openness. Curiosity about others' perspectives can lead to deeper connections. Creating safe spaces for dialogue is crucial for understanding and collaboration. The need for mastery in the workplace is tied to employee satisfaction. We must learn to listen and engage with those we disagree with. Finding common ground requires vulnerability and a willingness to connect.     An episode on: authentic communication, humanity in business, generational gaps, disagreement, curiosity, connection, common ground, authenticity, emotional intelligence & workplace culture.

That's what Derek, Brooke and therapist and author guest Lucy Vittrup Christensen explore in this episode. Together they explore how the pressure to fit in, the loneliness of expat life, and Denmark's open drinking and drug culture can blur the line between social habits and addiction.

As the holiday season approaches, many couples find themselves hitting a quiet but undeniable breaking point. Something about this stretch of time—from mid-October through the new year—brings things to the surface. Maybe it's the reflection that comes with the end of a year. Maybe it's the pressure of finances, family expectations, or feeling like life is flying by. But without the closeness you hoped to feel by now. For many, it's a season where the question "Can we really keep going like this?" starts to creep in. In this episode, we unpack a question so many couples wrestle with: Can one spouse change the marriage if the other isn't ready or willing? What happens when one person is trying, growing, learning... and the other seems stuck? Is it unfair to hope for more? Is it foolish to keep waiting? We're diving into the emotional weight of this question, why so many couples delay getting support, and what it really takes to shift the direction of your relationship. Especially in the seasons that feel the hardest. In this episode we cover: The surprising reason many marriages reach a breaking point during this season The #1 personality trait that determines whether couples make it through hard seasons Why some partners resist working on themselves or the relationship until separation is on the table What delays couples from getting help—and how much damage that can do The emotional cost of carrying the growth for two people   To then interrupt destructive cycles and finally start moving forward together:

Send us a textA church that prepares for the end of the world tells you everything about its present. We dig into Scientology's underground vaults built by the Church of Spiritual Technology—why they exist, how the etched steel archives are made, and the strange logic behind symbols carved into remote landscapes. The story gets less mystical and more material when you ask a simple question: who gets in, how, and what exactly is being protected?We also open the blinds on Int Base and the Hole, where pressure breeds cruelty and survival games replace ethics. Would Shelly Miscavige have steered the ship differently? Maybe on violence, not on doctrine. Disconnection, high-pressure money tactics, and family splits precede any one leader. And here's the number that matters: by 2005, Scientology held roughly a billion dollars in pre-paid services not delivered. That's a massive liability, which helps explain the pivot to pure donations and trophies with no obligation attached. If every paying member asked for the services they already bought, income could collapse for decades.Expect specifics, not slogans. We talk about where the plates are actually manufactured now, who supplies the titanium capsules, why transcripts of leadership meetings are scrubbed clean of expletives, and how event attendance shrinks while rosters inflate with names from the 1970s. We also speak directly to staff under pressure to join the Sea Org: you can walk away, and there's help when you do.It's not all grim. Our community's “Fake Navy Davy” photo contest uses humor to puncture the aura—placing the doll in capitols, burger joints, and make-believe cells—because laughter is a pressure valve and an invitation to look closer. We close with updates from the Michael J. Rinder Aftermath Foundation, including real rescues and the steady work of helping people rebuild a life.If this episode gave you clarity or courage, share it with a friend, subscribe for more deep dives, and leave a review so others can find it.

What if true confidence isn't something you build—but something you rediscover within yourself? In this episode, Jessica and Kelly explore the theme of building confidence through self-connection, particularly in midlife. They discuss the importance of introspection, recognizing disconnection from oneself, and the core practices that can help individuals reconnect with their values and desires. The conversation emphasizes that true confidence comes from within and is about being authentic and unapologetically oneself. They also provide practical tips for listeners to cultivate self-connection and confidence in their daily lives. Inside This Conversation: Confidence is built through self-connection and introspection. Midlife is a time for rediscovering who you are. True confidence comes from within, not external validation. Recognizing disconnection from oneself is crucial for growth. Practices like journaling and mindfulness can enhance self-connection. Honoring your values is essential for building confidence. Celebrating small wins helps reinforce self-acceptance. Setting boundaries is a form of self-connection. Doubt is a natural part of the journey to confidence. Being unapologetically you is about being at home with yourself. Connect With Us:

Topic: Troubled childhood, modernity, advice."I think I have had a childhood filled with particularly egregious examples of the postmodern order, such examples include, teachers who were outright communists, others who were very racist towards Whites, universal pacing of all kids etc. I think people even in their 30s would be surprised how bad it has gotten, so I want to get the word out there, I feel there is a surprising lack of first-hand accounts."The other thing that I would appreciate is to get advice on how to figure my life out. I am in my early 20s, so couldn't get enough advice if I tried. Some of would maybe touch on childhood troubles, like having split parents, a dad with schizophrenia, and certain experiences with emotional neglect, and abuse."SUBSCRIBE TO ME ON X! https://x.com/StefanMolyneuxFollow me on Youtube! https://www.youtube.com/@freedomain1GET MY NEW BOOK 'PEACEFUL PARENTING', THE INTERACTIVE PEACEFUL PARENTING AI, AND THE FULL AUDIOBOOK!https://peacefulparenting.com/Join the PREMIUM philosophy community on the web for free!Subscribers get 12 HOURS on the "Truth About the French Revolution," multiple interactive multi-lingual philosophy AIs trained on thousands of hours of my material - as well as AIs for Real-Time Relationships, Bitcoin, Peaceful Parenting, and Call-In Shows!You also receive private livestreams, HUNDREDS of exclusive premium shows, early release podcasts, the 22 Part History of Philosophers series and much more!See you soon!https://freedomain.locals.com/support/promo/UPB2025

Have you ever thought about how your own stress affects your kids — or how your parents' stress might still be affecting you? In this powerful conversation with Dr. Taz Bhatia, integrative medicine physician, author, and founder of Hol+, we explore how the health of the parents — especially the mother — sets the tone for the entire family system. Because wellness isn't just about self-care… it's about the legacy you're creating for the next generation. Together, we unpack how patterns of anger, overwhelm, and chronic stress get passed down in families — and how to finally break the cycle. In this episode you'll hear: Why stress isn't always bad, but becomes harmful when your body never feels safe (aka the cortisol hum). How unresolved emotions and disconnection show up in the body — from hormone imbalances to fatigue and resentment. The way childhood modeling shapes how we handle conflict and stress in marriage. Practical ways to track your body's signals (like HRV) and create a calmer emotional climate at home. Simple habits couples can build to protect their emotional and physical well-being — and, in turn, their kids'. Dr. Taz also shares how she's disrupting the medical industry through her Hol+ network (add link) — an integrative system combining Eastern and Western medicine to care for families as a whole, offering both in-person clinics and virtual access nationwide. Her mission is simple yet profound: to help every family heal from the inside out. This episode is a reminder that when one person in the family heals, everyone benefits. The health of your marriage, your body, and your home are all connected — and you have the power to create a new emotional legacy for your family.

It seems like the “I need more space” and “I need to talk this out now” partners always find each other! This is the basis of the Pursuer/Withdrawer as well as the Anxious/Avoidant partner dynamics in marriage. When this dynamic happens, it always causes more tension, defensiveness, anxiety, and distance than the initial topic of conversation. If this sounds at all like dynamics you and your partner get into, you certainly are not alone!  In today's episode you will hear more detail about what's really happening for each partner, whether it is the need for space or resolution. There are many factors that contribute to this, like personality type and emotional processing capacity. But tune in to hear about details you would have never thought of, hear more about how this dynamic has played out in our own marriage over the years, and then specific steps you can take to keep this dynamic from escalating simple conversations. This will make you both feel even more secure, understood, and loved in your relationship.

Send us a textYour postpartum clients aren't just "busy"—they're breaking down. Here's the truth your assessments are missing: The invisible mental load is a chronic state of cognitive overload that's hijacking her body. This isn't a failure of willpower; it's a physiological response to chronic stress that causes everything from unexplained anxiety and low milk supply to pelvic pain and insomnia. Maranda reveals how this unacknowledged cognitive burden triggers the HPA axis, shuts down nervous system regulation, and creates a cascade of physical symptoms. Every postpartum provider—from lactation consultants to functional health experts—must recognize this root cause. Stop treating the symptoms (the fatigue, the rage, the anxiety) and start addressing the overload. Learn the red flags and the Postpartum Restoration Method framework to deliver the lasting solutions your clients desperately need.Check out the episode on the blog HERE: https://postpartumu.com/podcast/the-invisible-mental-load-why-mothers-are-breaking-down-ep-238/Key time stamps: 1:03 -  Defining The Invisible Mental Load & The Shocking Case of Low Milk Supply3:33 - The Physiology of Cognitive Overload: HPA Axis and Systemic Effects6:53 - Clinical Patterns Providers Miss: The Hyper-Vigilant Manager, Overwhelmed Perfectionist, and Depleted Default Parent9:37 - Pelvic Floor Tension & The Bonding "Disconnection"22:15 - The Red Flags and "Better Questions" for Assessment NEXT STEPS:

Division isn't just a problem in the world—it's creeping into homes, marriages, and families everywhere. When couples start turning against each other instead of standing together, the bond that once felt safe and secure begins to weaken. In this episode, we're breaking down The 4 D's That Create Division in a Marriage: Dismissiveness, Defensiveness, Deflecting, and Divorce Threats. These subtle but destructive patterns slowly undermine connection and emotional safety, often without you even realizing it. We'll clearly define what each of these behaviors looks and sounds like—and why they're so damaging to your closeness and trust. More importantly, we'll share how to stop them before they erode your foundation.

With a significant online following, Anna has dedicated over three decades to helping those affected by childhood trauma, enabling them to lead happier, more fulfilling lives. Her forthcoming book, "Connectability: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, and Feel, at Last, Like You Belong," focuses on overcoming feelings of disconnection—a common issue both among trauma survivors and those with normal childhoods. Anna highlights that many individuals crave connection and understanding but often feel isolated, leading to loneliness and strained relationships.During the discussion, Anna shares her personal background of growing up in a commune with a mother plagued by addiction, which subjected her and her family to violence, poverty, and neglect. Despite these challenges, she managed to remain a high-functioning student throughout her childhood and early adulthood. However, a series of traumatic events in her 30s, including the death of her mother, a serious heartbreak, and a violent attack, left her with profound psychological effects, specifically post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). At that time, the concept of PTSD was not well understood outside military contexts, leaving Anna feeling isolated and struggling with her mental health amidst overwhelming shame and fear.In her conversation with Gina Ryan, Anna explains the significant misdiagnosis of childhood trauma symptoms, revealing her struggle with emotional dysregulation and her eventual journey to recovery. After initially finding therapy unhelpful, Anna serendipitously discovered effective techniques for managing her anxiety and depression through support from a friend who had also endured severe life struggles. These techniques, which included writing down her anxious and angry thoughts and feelings—effectively releasing them—and practicing meditation, became transformative tools for her.#CPTSD, #ComplexPTSD, #ChildhoodTrauma, #TraumaHealing, #Dysregulation, #NeurologicalDysregulation, #EmotionalRegulation, #Connectability, #Disconnection, #Isolation, #AnnaRunkle, #CrappyChildhoodFairy, #AnxietyCoachesPodcast, #DailyPractice, #Reregulated, #ReRegulation, #TraumaRecovery, #HealingTechniques, #SelfHelp, #LifeSkills, #SocialSkills, #Meditation, #AnxietyRelief, #MentalHealth, #SelfCare, #PersonalGrowth, #HealingJourney, #InnerPeace, #Belonging, #GinaRyan, #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
