How many times have you understood exactly why you do something and still couldn't stop doing it?Jessica Ortner breaks down why self-knowledge alone can't override a nervous system in survival mode, and why the missing piece isn't more willpower or better habits. It's safety. This conversation goes beyond the usual tapping explainer into the actual neuroscience of why your body keeps running patterns your mind has already rejected.What you'll learn:Why understanding your patterns doesn't stop themHow tapping sends a biological signal of safety your nervous system actually responds toWhy self-sabotage is misguided self-love, not a character flawJessica Ortner is co-founder of The Tapping Solution and co-author of Rewired, the most research-backed book on EFT tapping to date.

What if the reason success still feels incomplete has less to do with achievement and more to do with emotions you've never fully processed? In this episode, Dean Newlund and Randy Lyman explore how emotional healing, consciousness, and self-awareness can transform both leadership and life. In this episode, Dean Newlund and Randy Lyman discuss: The connection between emotional healing, personal growth, and business success How unresolved emotional experiences influence behavior, relationships, and leadership Randy's perspectives on consciousness, spirituality, and the nature of reality The relationship between thoughts, emotions, and the law of attraction Practical approaches for processing emotional pain and developing greater self-awareness Key Takeaways: Emotional awareness and healing can unlock personal growth and leadership effectiveness that achievement alone may not provide. Unprocessed emotional experiences often continue influencing decisions, relationships, and behavior long after the original event. Randy believes that developing greater emotional awareness helped him become a more effective leader and contributed to significant business growth. Practical tools such as EFT tapping, breathwork, journaling, and intention-setting can help people process emotions and develop greater self-awareness. Personal transformation does not require perfection; growth happens through intention, self-reflection, and a willingness to learn through mistakes. "Once I became more balanced, my life became better, my businesses grew, and my entire strategy about life changed.” — Randy Lyman About Randy Lyman: Randy Lyman is a physicist, entrepreneur, and emotional‑intelligence expert who blends science, spirituality, and human transformation. After building multiple eight‑figure companies, he discovered emotional awareness as the key to fulfillment and leadership. In his book, The Third Element, he teaches individuals and teams to release emotional patterns and lead with clarity, connection, and purpose.

Two hands, fourteen pressure points and the guts to say the hard thing out loud.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/amy-vinczeAmy Vincze got a breast cancer diagnosis 25 years ago with zero family history of the disease, and instead of accepting it as bad luck, she started asking why. That question sent her down a path through Tony Robbins seminars, certified coaching training and eventually founding the Soar with Tapping app, all built around one tool that changed her life: EFT tapping.On this episode of Even Tacos Fall Apart, Amy breaks down what tapping actually is and why it works. It blends acupressure points, talk therapy and somatic release into one practice you can do anywhere with no needles involved. She walks through the science behind it too. Tapping clears cortisol from your body 43 percent faster than doing nothing, lowers heart rate and blood pressure and calms the amygdala so your brain can think clearly instead of staying stuck in fight or flight.We get into the real stuff here. Amy explains the difference between big T trauma, a single major event like an assault or accident, and little t trauma, the slow buildup of stress from things like growing up with an angry parent. Both respond well to tapping but they take different approaches and different timelines. She also shares a study on wartime veterans where 30 days of daily tapping sessions reduced PTSD symptoms so much that participants no longer met the clinical criteria for the diagnosis.Amy gets personal about her own healing too, tracing her chronic anxiety and worthiness struggles back to her father leaving when she was a kid and the false story she built around it. Tapping into that root cause is what finally gave her lasting relief, after years of band aid fixes that kept wearing off.We cover what a typical tapping session looks like, how fast people start feeling results (often inside 10 to 15 minutes), why some folks feel wiped out afterward and what that actually means, and how tapping helps with phobias, anxiety, procrastination and kids working through big emotions. Amy also breaks down how tapping compares to EMDR and why over 300 peer reviewed studies now back this work. She even walks through a live tapping sequence on the show, hitting every point from the karate chop spot to the crown of the head, so you can follow along and try it yourself in real time.If you want to try tapping yourself, Amy's Soar with Tapping app offers a 14 day free trial with access to over 160 guided scripts. There is plenty of free tapping content scattered across YouTube too if you are working with a tighter budget, though Amy recommends starting somewhere solid so you are not led down the wrong path.This conversation covers cancer, grief, trauma, parenting, meditation and the strange comfort of watching near death experience videos on YouTube. Whether you are brand new to tapping or already sold on it, this episode hands you real tools for the next time anxiety, stress or an old wound shows up uninvited.
Dr. Deb Muth 00:03What if your diagnosis isn’t actually your diagnosis? What if the fatigue, brain fog, anxiety, and inflammation you’ve been told are normal are actually signals your body is reacting to something in your environment? Something no one ever tested.What if the reason you’re not getting better is because no one is asking the right questions?Today, we’re exposing one of the most overlooked drivers of chronic illness, and why so many people are being dismissed, misdiagnosed, and left without answers.You guys can insert, one of our ads in here, that’d be great.Welcome back to Let’s Talk Wellness Now, the show where we uncover the root causes of chronic illness, explore cutting-edge regenerative medicine, and empower you with the tools to heal. I’m Dr. Deb, your medical detective. And today, we’re diving into the hidden drivers of chronic illness through the lens of functional and environmental medicine.If you or someone you love has been diagnosed with a chronic condition or is struggling with unexplained neurological symptoms, like fatigue, brain fog, numbness, or chronic pain. This episode is for you. So, grab your cup of coffee, tea, or whatever helps you unwind.Settle in, and let’s get started on your journey to deeper healing.Today, I’m joined by Dr. Kelly McCann. A board-certified physician in internal medicine and pediatrics, with advanced training in functional, integrative, and environmental medicine. She’s known for her work in mold illness, chronic infections, MCAS, and complex chronic conditions And for helping patients who have been told everything looks normal. She helps them finally get real answers. Dr. Kelly, welcome to the show. I’m so excited to have you here. Share a little bit about what you’re doing these days, and who you are, and who you’re serving with us. Kelly McCann 02:42Thank you. So, my favorite patient population is patients who deal with complex chronic illness, and I didn’t set out to deal with these kinds of patients, but I kept… needing to be able to solve the puzzles, right? So they would come in, and there would be so many things that just didn’t add up and didn’t make sense, and it started with,it started with just doing functional and integrative medicine, and GI issues, and hormone issues, and autoimmune issues, and then it was mold as a driver, and then it was Lyme disease and the other tick-borne infections, and then all of those patients, many of those patients developed mast cell activation syndrome.Which I’ve now gone on and become an expert in, because they all have it.And all the related conditions with MCAS, the Ehlers-Danlos, hypermobility syndrome, POTS, postural orthostatic tachycardic syndrome, and… The one thing that really stuck out to me over the years of treating these patients is the ones who were willing to take a deep look inside. And see how their… their belief patterns, how their thoughts how they perceived themselves, different traumas that they experienced. If they were able to reframe some of the ways that they were thinking about their illness, about themselves, their relationship to themselves, they were the ones who really healed.And not only did they heal physically, they healed emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. I have some patients who started out disabled, and now are running their own companies. One who, again, same thing, terribly disabled, lots of emotional issues, lots of ups and downs, food sensitivities, oxalate issues, and now she’s a medical intuitive. And she’s just doing fabulously, and has blossomed, right? So, this is a missing piece that we’re not really talking about. Dr. Deb Muth 05:04Yeah, I so agree with you. I see the same thing in my practice, and I treat a lot of the same people you do, and you are so right. Like, if we can get down to a deeper level with them, and address the trauma that happened.And it may be a trauma they never even remembered, right? It could be something that’s just seated in their cells and they don’t remember it. And you don’t directly think it’s causing the illness, but it is getting in the way of them healing. If you can address those things, those are the people that tend to do so much better, I think, versus the people who are getting some mileage out of their illness. That there’s a reason they stay stuck, there’s a reason they stay sick, they’re getting something from it, even though they don’t realize it in the moment.So let’s talk a little bit, before we hopped on the recording, you and I were talking about body, emotion, spirit. A little different than what we’re used to hearing with mind, body, spirit. Talk about your philosophy on this. Kelly McCann 06:01So what I’ve really come to realize is that the mind is getting in the way. And we have this perception that our mind is who we are. Right? We really think that who I am are the thoughts that I have every day. That’s me. And when I’m not getting better, it’s because my body is not… Falling in line with what my mind and my will want to do. So we set up this adversarial relationship. And this has been the philosophy in Western culture since Descartes said, I think therefore I am. Where the mind is supreme, and it is the all-knowing, and the body is just a vehicle for the mind. And every… Therapeutic intervention, from trauma-informed therapy, from, you know, wonderful people who have committed a lot of help and given great information. Bessel van der Kolk, The Body Keeps the Score, Gabor Mate, you know, all of these folks who have done such great work in us understanding trauma I think… The next phase is really recognizing that the body is actually not against us. It is not our enemy. In fact, it is… The body that is speaking to us as the voice piece of our souls and our spirits, that is saying to us, hey. you’re not listening. The path that you are walking down and the way that you are being in the world is not really working for you. It’s not who you are. It’s not who you’re supposed to be on the planet. And we’re trying to get your attention, right? Dr. Deb Muth 07:59Yeah. Kelly McCann 07:59I mean… Dr. Deb Muth 08:00this thing, so I’m gonna talk louder. Kelly McCann 08:02Exactly, exactly! It’s like a little toddler who only can speak in so many words, right? There’s only so many ways that a younger version of ourselves, or our bodies, like, how do our bodies communicate to us? Symptoms and sensations. That’s it. Those are the ways that our bodies communicate. And if we don’t listen to sensations, well, it’s gotta turn it up, it’s gotta turn up the volume, and then we have more symptoms. And then if we’re still like, no, it’s gonna do it my way, it turns up the symptoms some more. And when… We are in this adversarial relationship, we can’t bridge that gap. Can’t bridge that gap, so… What… what happens is thatUnderneath the symptoms and the sensations are emotions. Emotions that have not been processed. Because we’ve been stuffing them down, we believe that they shouldn’t exist, we don’t want to face them, we’re afraid of them, they’re not acceptable, we’re ashamed of them, whatever the reason may be, and they’re stuck in the body. And so the way through is to actually just feel our feelings. Dr. Deb Muth 09:26That’s kind of scary for some people. Kelly McCann 09:28It’s… it’s scary for the… it’s scary for the whole planet! Dr. Deb Muth 09:32For all of this, right? Kelly McCann 09:33For all of us. When we start to feel our feelings, we don’t like it. We’ve been taught it’s not okay. Boys, it’s not okay to cry. Girls, don’t be loud, don’t be angry. You’re a B-I-T-C-H if you do that, right? So there’s so many taboos about feeling our feelings. I have patients who say, I can’t be mad at my father or my mother because I was taught to honor thy father and thy mother. Like, yes, but you’re angry, and guess what?] That ain’t going nowhere until you express it, so… you have a choice. Express it, or hold onto it, and then you just kind of stay here in this space where it’s never expressed. Dr. Deb Muth 10:19Yeah, except in your body, in your physical being, right? Kelly McCann 10:22Except in your physical being. And here’s the magic. Emotions are meant to move through us, right? Emotion. They don’t last for that long!60 to 90 seconds, really? Maybe a couple minutes? Yeah. You really, really feel them. Right? Dr. Deb Muth 10:44Yeah. Kelly McCann 10:46And we’re terrified of that 60 to 90 seconds. Dr. Deb Muth 10:50What might we do to ourselves or to someone in that 60 to 90 seconds, right? I may scream, I may cry, I may not be this person that everybody thinks I’m supposed to be. That person that holds it all together is there for everybody, holds everybody else’s space. So well put together, right? If you’re not that person, then who are you? Are you human? Kelly McCann 11:16Oh, you’re more than human. Yeah, I mean, the way that I would look at it is, I would say, well, you don’t have to put on a show, right? This is really for you. Close the door, lock the… close the windows, get out your pillow. Whatever you need to do. I mean, I have some patients who will write it out. There’s a way to just, like, freeform write, where you don’t actually read it, you just write it out, scribble it out, get it all out on paper, and then burn it, or shred it, or something like that. you can pound a pillow, you can, you know, scream, whatever it is, you can cry. I mean, I think crying is, at least for… for me. Crying is the easiest way to think about it. So, you start crying, you’ve got a few little tears, you know, it’s not too bad, and then it’s a full-on sob, and then at some point, you’re like, okay, I think I need a tissue, right? But it doesn’t last forever Dr. Deb Muth 12:22No, it really doesn’t. I had a physical therapy friend who, when I started my practice, and you know, you start your business, and everything’s just chaotic, because you don’t know what you’re doing, and you have all kinds of people that don’t know what they’re doing, and there’s always a problem. Computer, the phone, the this, the that, blah blah blah. And she brought me what was called a Dammit doll. And I had never seen one, I didn’t know what it was, and it was this really… sturdy doll that didn’t look like anything, that had two legs that you could grab onto, that you could just beat at the table whenever you needed to. And she’s like, this is how you do it. And I was like. oh my god, that’s amazing! And I would use it every couple of hours sometimes, sometimes every day, and I would just be like. And then it was over.Yeah, sure, but it was over, instead of me walking around all day long, carrying all this frustration and not having anybody to talk to about it, because you’re busy during the day. And then if you keep talking about it, it just gets worse. But I could do that, and then I’d be done, and I’d be like, okay, I got it out, let’s find the solution, now let’s move on. Kelly McCann 13:28Exactly! Dr. Deb Muth 13:29Coolest thing! Kelly McCann 13:31Exactly! That is exactly what I’m talking about, Deb. Exactly, that’s so cool. I love that. Yeah, I mean, anger is really taboo in our society. Very taboo. And, And, you know, I have a couple patients that struggle so much with expressing their anger, but it’s important. It’s important. We’ve all had so, so many instances. You know, and… of being disappointed. Dr. Deb Muth 14:08Yeah. Kelly McCann 14:08from our… from… All sorts of situations in our lives. And, you know, nobody gets out of life without any trauma. you know, little T traumas. Everybody’s got some. Even if you have the most wonderful, well-meaning parents, something’s gonna happen, and it might be the parents, it could be just life, but things happen that we misinterpret. And then we think.We make decisions about ourselves, or about our families, or about what’s okay and what’s not okay, and those things cause us to forget who we really are. Dr. Deb Muth 14:53That’s okay. Kelly McCann 14:55Because when you look at a 1-year-old or an 18-month-old, they are joy and love incarnate, right? Dr. Deb Muth 15:03Yeah, they are. Kelly McCann 15:05That’s who we are. That’s who we really are. But we forget. We forget, because of all the rules, and all the expectations, and all the disappointment, and all the misinterpretations, we forget who we really are. And… I think… A life journey, especially a health journey, is a way back to who we really are. Dr. Deb Muth 15:32It’s interesting, as we’re talking about this, because I think about people who have really traumatic life events, like life and death. They are so lucky that they’re alive. They were in an accident, or, you know, they had this horrible cancer that they survived, and they weren’t supposed to. And they come out very differently, oftentimes. Because they realize how precious life is, and it’s… they look at life now as a gift instead of whatever else we were looking at it before that time, right? But they do truly look at life differently. I… I’m curious always, like, how do they… how do they do that? But yet, if we have a chronic illness.It’s so much harder to do that same thing when there’s a chronic illness versus an acute thing, and you’ve got this second chance. Kelly McCann 16:20Right? I see it as, The chronic illness is this slow decline, right? And because it’s a slow decline, there’s never that. Wake-up call. Which people get in a car accident, in a cancer diagnosis, where all of a sudden, your life changes in front of you, and you have to really reflect. Where I think with chronic illness, it’s like, oh, this isn’t great, I don’t love this. Oh, this is a little worse. But we keep hoping… which is the part that’s connected to who we really are, right? We keep hoping it’s gonna get better. Keep hoping it’s gonna get better, but it’s getting worse, and it’s getting worse. And… And we… as a… again, as a culture, have an expectation that somebody is gonna throw us a bone or a line, and we’re… they’re gonna pull us back out. We’re gonna find the right protocol, we’re gonna find the right practitioner, we’re gonna get… have somebody else help us get out. And… As healthcare practitioners, we can help people get 50% better, 80% better, you know, sometimes 100% better, but not all the time, because it’s an inside job. Dr. Deb Muth 17:42Well, and I like to tell people, too, like, you’re never 100%, 100% of the time. there’s always going to be something that you’re not gonna like. You wake up, you’re a little more tired, you know, you slept wrong, you got a kink in your neck, whatever it is. But I think you’re really on to something here, too, because if you don’t deal with the emotional baggage, the trauma. the person who said something to you in high school. If you don’t deal with that, and you carry that around forever. you kind of keep inviting the same people into your lives to treat you the exact same way. So then you just kind of keep that same pattern going over and over and over again, and you just keep thinking, why am I the doormat? Why does everybody keep kicking me? And when we truly start to deal with what happened, you start to attract those people differently in your lives, and people aren’t walking all over you anymore. Kelly McCann 18:35Right. And… It’s very easy to get caught up in the whys. And that keeps us up here. Right, and what I’ve found with myself and, you know, many of my patients is that We have to stay in the body long enough with the sensations and the emotions to have it, you know, crescendo on the emotion, and then decrescendo. But when we pop out, and we start asking, well, why did this happen, and why am I a doormat, and why am I a victim, and why, why, why, or… or analyzing, or what have you, we… We stop the emotive process. Which halts the resolution, and we don’t actually get to where we want to be. So, you know, I was just talking to a patient today. She’s like, well, I’ve been feeling my feelings, and I’ve been feeling the fear. I’m like, yes, but did you actually stick with it the entire time, or did you start thinking about it? Because we do this, we pop into our thoughts, and we’re like… oh, yeah, I was emoting. You know, like, oh, that made me sad. And then come back up here, and then we realize, oh, we gotta, we gotta… we’re still stuck in it, we’re still stuck in it. And I’m like. Dr. Deb Muth 19:56Like, when we’re… annotate. Kelly McCann 19:59Exactly! Exactly! It’s kind of like that, yeah. And so we stay on this little, hamster wheel. Because we don’t recognize it. The solution is in the emotion. Dr. Deb Muth 20:15So how do people stay in the feeling instead of letting their mind escape to the grocery list, the kid’s to-do list, dot dot dot dot dot? How do we stay in that emotion long enough to kind of work through it? Kelly McCann 20:30It’s a good question. I think… Having the awareness that that’s what you need to do. is the first step, right? Is to really say, okay, I’m gonna, like, put my mind outside of the door, say I’ll be back in 20 minutes, and then really just give yourself the permission to stay with whatever emotion that’s coming up. And it’s practice. It is a lot of practice. This is not… it’s very, very simple. It is not easy for the vast majority of people, and especially if we’re really patterned. So, I actually started an online program to help people learn how to do this. Because it is… not easy. Dr. Deb Muth 21:16If it was easy, we wouldn’t have so many problems, right? We would just move on and keep going, but that’s where we got ourselves into a lot of trouble, is we just recognize, acknowledge, move on, and say, okay, I’m out of it, good, let’s go, next thing, next thing. Kelly McCann 21:32Yeah, which doesn’t work. Like, oh, I dealt with that. I, you know, talked to my parents before they passed, and we came to an understanding. Like, that’s not the same thing as feeling your feelings, because that 10-year-old, that 5-year-old who felt abandoned, or felt… Abused, or whatever it is that you’re feeling, they’re still in there. The adult you made this agreement with your parents that you’re gonna be okay, right? But that kid you still is upset. So…I think the first… the first thing is recognizing that emotions and thoughts are very different, and to learn the difference. So if I say, I feel like blah blah blah blah blah, that’s not a feeling, that’s a thought. Dr. Deb Muth 22:26Hmm. Kelly McCann 22:27Right? I feel like, this. I’m in… I feel embarrassed. No, that’s the thought. Dr. Deb Muth 22:34That’s not… Kelly McCann 22:35the actual feeling. Feelings are really often located in the emotions. They’re very simple. I’m afraid. I’m sad. I feel terror. I’m angry. I’m enraged. Those are feelings. I… I am mad that blah blah blah blah blah. You know, we don’t necessarily have to know why we feel the feelings. Eventually, we will understand where they’re coming from. But it’s actually just feeling the feelings, and then… oh, I love this one, too. It’s like, well, I’ve forgiven them. I’ve forgiven them for, you know, what they did to me. That’s here. Yeah. If you’ve really forgiven them. it comes from here, and it comes after the feelings. So, we still have to feel our feelings if we’re angry or upset about something, if we’re sad about something, we have to feel them first, and then the beauty is in what’s underneath the emotions. It’s quiet, it’s calm, it’s soft, it’s connected to who you really are. And at that point, then you have a much broader worldview and understanding of things, and you can have compassion for yourself. You can have compassion for other people and their choices. And when I… when it’s… when it’s held in that space, it’s… it’s such a different experience. Yeah. Dr. Deb Muth 24:18Do you think people can have compassion for others if they don’t deal with their own things? Kelly McCann 24:24It’s, again, it’s… it’s from the head, right? Dr. Deb Muth 24:28Not from the heart. Kelly McCann 24:29It’s not from the heart. It’s not from the heart. And it’s a good try, but it’s, like, a carbon copy of the real thing. It’s not really the thing. Dr. Deb Muth 24:39Hmm. What happens if people walk around thinking that they have all this, you know, great compassion and love for the world,but it is truly just coming from the head and not the heart? Kelly McCann 24:54Then, you know, they’re kind of circling and circling, and they’ll find that the thoughts and the beliefs and the things that cause them to be upset will still be there. Right? There’s a… I mean, I have to admit, I don’t really watch the news, because it is upsetting, right? Dr. Deb Muth 25:14I am. Kelly McCann 25:15And I have a number of patients who are very, very distraught about the state of the world.That’s… not seeing the bigger picture. It’s coming from here. Rather than here. And this is a really hard thing for people to grasp. But when we are triggered, By something outside of ourselves. That is because that upset exists inside of ourselves. So, for example, if I call you stupid, Deb, and there’s no part of you believes that you are stupid, it will bounce off you. You know, like you’re a rubber ball, right? Because it’s not true. It doesn’t resonate anywhere in you, so you can’t possibly be triggered by that.But if I say to you something that, you find hurtful, it’s not because of what I’ve said. It’s because that hurt, that upset, is still alive in you. And that… Opportunity, then, Is there for you to say, hmm… Clearly, there’s something inside of me that needs some attention about this.we’ve… we don’t really think about life that way. Right. We think… That person made me mad. Nobody makes you mad. It’s you. That inside of you. Right? I was talking on the phone last night with one of my colleagues whose daughter is in the hospital, and she’s been in the hospital in, like, the best Children’s Hospital, in Chicago for 2 months. Two months with gastrointestinal issues. And… They haven’t done a CT scan yet. Dr. Deb Muth 27:24What? Kelly McCann 27:25I know. I was talking with another, physician colleague of… colleague of mine last night, or this morning, at the time. How… that should have been done in the ER! Dr. Deb Muth 27:38Yeah! Kelly McCann 27:39At least… At least, or maybe the first day of the hospitalization, they didn’t do an endoscopy until Last week. 7 weeks in the hospital with an NJ tube. Dr. Deb Muth 27:53Oh my god. Kelly McCann 27:54Tube feeds. like, what is wrong with these people, right? So, I was so mad on her behalf. And of course, what I realized, too, is then, okay, well, there’s stuff inside of me, like, I have really… I have some stuff about… what is expected of other people in the world, what is expected of other physicians in the world. Like, these are the worst physicians on the planet. They clearly don’t care. They should all be fired. But there’s stuff in me that is really being triggered by this, that I have… I have work to do about. And I still think it’s wrong. Dr. Deb Muth 28:36I had that same experience last week. I had a pharmacist tell my patient they didn’t need a prescription that I had ordered, because she… didn’t fill it frequently enough because she was using it differently than what we wrote it, which so many of our patients do. It’s a hormone, it’s not a big deal, right? Kelly McCann 28:53Yeah, right. Dr. Deb Muth 28:54And… and he said to her, well, I don’t think you need this anymore. Yes. Kelly McCann 29:00choice. Dr. Deb Muth 29:01Right, and that’s what I said, I’m like… I said, who the F is he? To tell you that he thinks you need this or not? He doesn’t know you, he doesn’t know your labs, he hasn’t been taking care of you for 20 years. I have, and you’ve clearly been using it. And so I called the pharmacy, and the conversation went a little differently on his side, of course, than what the patient explained to me, but I had to sit back, too, and I looked at that, and I was like, why was I so angry that he said this to her? And I understand, it was, you know, he was undermining my authority, my knowledge base, and I knew that right away, but I was still so triggered by it, and… and she was just kind of like. Yeah, I was really surprised he said that, but I figured he knew more than me, and I’m like, so I was coming to see you, I would just tell you, and you would tell me if it was right or wrong, and I’m like. okay, that was a good way to take it, but boy, that instantly triggered for me. But again, I recognized exactly why I was triggered with that, and had to calm down a little bit and all of that, but… I think there’s a lot of that that happens. And, you know, when you work hard to know what you know, and I work hard, and we see other people doing not even the basics, it’s kind of like, what is wrong with the world? Kelly McCann 30:18Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, and there’s stuff there, right? So why is it that I worked so hard to become the best doctor that I could? Because I didn’t feel adequate. And so, when somebody else shows up as inadequate, or I perceive them to be inadequate, that triggers that… my own inadequacy, right? Especially since it was a man, so there’s a man under my your authority. Yeah, that would just really get to me. Yeah, so there’s something around that, so I know that, you know, for me, that might be where I explore it, but yeah, it’s, Life is a journey. Dr. Deb Muth 31:00Yeah, it really is. And I think, too, from a practitioner standpoint, like, we take so many of our patients home with us, like, it’s our job to be the medical detective, figure them out.Help them find the answers, make them feel better. And not that we do it from an eco perspective, because I think most practitioners don’t. They truly do it because they care and they want to make people better, and we have this knowledge and this expertise that other people don’t have. But, boy, it gets harder and harder and harder when you get more and more chronically ill people to help them find the answers and help them be well, especially if they don’t deal with their own house, right? We don’t… if they don’t deal with their house, it’s hard for us to come in and say, let me help you deal with your house. Right. So, how does that fit into some of this? Kelly McCann 31:51You know, that’s a really good question. I had to learn that over time to be able to use my own intuition to say, how much is this person willing to do? And really evaluate their… their willingness to change, their willingness to do the hard work. And… And I… and I had to hone my intuition in order to do that, and now I see… I will see there are people that… they’re happy. in their little merry-go-round, in their whack-a-mole game. And I will do my best, and I will kind of, you know, nudge where I think it’s appropriate, but when they push back, I gotta let that go. I gotta let that go, and recognize that it’s their journey, it’s their life, and I can’t be more attached to their healing than they are. Dr. Deb Muth 32:49That’s what I’ve done, too. That’s what I tell my practitioners, my young practitioners that come in by me, too. I say the same thing. Like, I have some that are really young, and we’re all green, right? And we want to just fix the world, and I’ve got so much I can give you, and so much you can do, and then when they don’t do it, you’re like. what did I do wrong that they’re not doing it? And I have to go back and tell them the same thing. This is their journey, not yours. You’re just here to give knowledge and hold space. And they get to pick and choose what they want to do, and if it’s not exactly what we want them to do, that’s okay, it’s their journey. And every time… and I laugh because I always see my younger self in them, too, but why don’t they want to do it? This is gonna make them so much better! We have this tool! And it’s like… they’re not ready yet. It’s okay for them not to be ready yet. We have to be okay with the fact that they’re not ready yet. And I think as a provider and a practitioner, that is one of the hardest things to do, is to sit back and go, okay, you’re just not ready yet. When you’re ready, we’ll be here to hold you and hold space. But right now, you’re not there, it’s okay. Kelly McCann 33:52Yeah, it is okay. Yeah, actually, one of the women that I mentioned earlier, earlier in the podcast, it took her 18 months to get to the point where I felt like she was ready, and it was one of those things, like. You’re ready! I got so excited, and that’s exactly what I said to her. I was like, okay, here, I want you to read this book. Dr. Deb Muth 34:14And he was. Kelly McCann 34:14finally ready, and I gave her the book called How to Heal Yourself When No One Else Can by Amy B. Share, which is just so awesome. And she took that book, and she was like, I am going to do this. And she wrote out journals and journals and journals, and… did lists, and then she would clear them, and then she would clear them. She got so much better, and then it was, like. Biofield tuning, and she did, Gupta, and Amya Piggin’s work, and, you know, so many other things. And then she was doing really well, 80% better, eating all sorts of foods, and there was still this little, like. Mmm, something’s still missing. Something’s still missing. Not quite where I want to be. I still have some mood issues. And then she came and joined my Unforgetting Project program. And that was the missing piece for her. This… whole thing that we’re talking about, like, just feeling the feelings was really her missing piece, because she was clearing, you know, with using EFT, but it wasn’t working anymore, because she actually was bypassing feeling her feelings. Dr. Deb Muth 35:38Hmm. Kelly McCann 35:39So I, you know, these programs, the nervous system programs, the limbic system programs, they are fantastic, and they’re super, super helpful. And then there comes a point in time where we have to shift gears, and we have to go deeper. But it… all of those programs get people, if they’re willing to put in the time and effort, get people to the place where, like, okay, now I gotta go in. Even deeper. Yeah. Dr. Deb Muth 36:07And that can be scary for people. That can be really frightening. I did a 10-day women’s retreat in Spain, with a priestess program, and I had no clue what I was doing. I was going to my first women’s retreat in Spain, no clue, but I had to do. Kelly McCann 36:23It sounds fantastic. Dr. Deb Muth 36:25Fantastic, right? And and when I got there, it was a lot of shamanic work, deep work, and, as we’re all… there’s, like, 30 of us women going through, and all different ages, going through things. And reliving our past as a child, and reliving all these different pieces of us as women that we’ve left behind someplace else. We’ve lost. And, And just sitting in… I still remember it to this day, you know, the crying, the sobbing, the anger, the screaming, the stomping. the silence. Like, everybody had a different way of dealing with those emotions coming out, and we had to be silent from, 10 at night till 10 in the morning. You couldn’t say anything to anybody. And, and that was a little challenging for a lot of us. But it gave you that time that after you went through one of these processes. you could process. You could just sit with those feelings, sit with what came up for you, journal. And it was a really incredible time to watch a lot of women just blossom into a new version of themselves, you know? Their old version, but a new version. A healed version of themselves, in a lot of ways, yeah. Kelly McCann 37:45So what… in the languaging that I’ve come up with, it’s the, unforgetting, right? So it’s actually the remembered self, because we have let go of the things that caused us to forget. So we have unforgotten who we really are, because As you’re right, it’s… it is not new, it’s just remembered, or unforgotten. Dr. Deb Muth 38:12Yeah. Yeah. That’s really awesome. For somebody that’s listening to us have this conversation, and they’re kind of thinking, this all sounds great, but I have no clue where to start with something like this, what kind of recommendations would you give to them? Kelly McCann 38:29Well, I actually have an online program. And… it’s, it’s a 9-week online program, and…What you’re doing in community is learning how to Feel your feelings, and how to understand them, and different access points in to them, and doing it in a community, which is terrifying for some people when they start, but at the same time, it is the most loving container Because these people are also on their complex chronic illness healing journey. And they have chosen themselves, and chosen to show up, and chosen to show up for 9 weeks, which is a long time, but it’s also this beautiful, sacred time. And, half of the class is lecture, sharing, and then half of the class we spend in trios. Which means, my staff divvy up people into groups of three, and then there… each trio goes through a process. They all do the same process.And you do it 3 times, so you have a chance to be, a different role in each iteration that you go through. So one role is the explorer. Those are the people who are actually just feeling the feelings. And exploring what’s going on inside of them. One person is what we call the companion, they’re kind of like the… the, not really the guide or the therapist, but they’re just holding space with them, maybe giving some prompts to help them work through the process. And there’s a handout that works through the process, and then there’s the third person whom is the anchor. And the anchor is holding that loving battery. And it just sets up this…situation where you’re held in such an embrace that you’re able to express your feelings. And one of the things I learned early on was that vulnerability leads to intimacy. And so, when you’re vulnerable with somebody else, they feel… closer to you, and they feel more capable of being vulnerable with you, because you’ve trusted them, right? So, it builds this level of vulnerability, intimacy, and trust in the community, and then each time you do your trio with somebody, with new people, often. Dr. Deb Muth 41:16time. Kelly McCann 41:17And it’s a really, really special program where you’re practicing this, and you’re doing homework, so you take the things that you learned from the class, and then you go home and you practice it with yourself. So that’s what I have come up with to help people start to really learn how to do this. And then it’s gonna grow from there. So I have a foundational class right now. We’re on… we just started our second cohort, And then eventually there will be a second-tier class, and workshops, and the other thing that I’m doing is one-on-one, trainings with… what one-on-one… I call them unforgetting journeys with people. So, you know how you go to a therapist, and you’re in the middle of a story, in the middle of sobbing, and they’re like, oh, well, that’s 50 minutes, it’s Here’s your tissue, we’ll see you next week. Dr. Deb Muth 42:12Yes. Kelly McCann 42:13Yeah, so painful. Dr. Deb Muth 42:16Oh, bad. Kelly McCann 42:16So painful, and I understand, like, we have the same thing, too, as physicians, like, oh, I’m so sorry, your time is up, I gotta go, I have more patients waiting. The unforgetting journey, I don’t have a clock. Dr. Deb Muth 42:29Mmm. Kelly McCann 42:30It’s… we go until you feel complete. And for most people, it’s two and a half, three hours. Dr. Deb Muth 42:37Wow. Kelly McCann 42:37To really process through the emotions that are coming up. Dr. Deb Muth 42:43to get… Kelly McCann 42:43To the point where you’re… they feel… Okay. I feel… I feel complete for today. Dr. Deb Muth 42:52For now. Kelly McCann 42:53For now. Dr. Deb Muth 42:54So the next layer, kind of. shows itself, right? Yeah. Kelly McCann 42:59Yeah, yeah. And for now, the Unforgetting Journeys are for people who have gone through the program, or are in the program, because you really need to… you have to have the skills. Dr. Deb Muth 43:11So, if somebody’s interested in your online program, how do they get in touch with you? Kelly McCann 43:17The website is unforgettingproject.com. And you can sign up right there. The next cohort will start May 20th. It’ll be a Wednesday evening. From 4.30 to 6.30 Pacific time, so I tried to make it so as many people on both sides of the continent could make it. I know it’s a little late for East Coast, but, yeah. And then, you know, every month or two, we’ll start a new cohort, so if you’re interested, and if those… that time doesn’t work for you. You know, I did Fridays initially, I’m doing Mondays, this iteration. We’ll try, other dates and times for people, and try and get a few more dates, on the calendar, so that people have some options. But yeah, that would be my suggestion. You can sign up for our email list, and we’ll be sure to let you know all the happenings at the Unforgetting Project. Dr. Deb Muth 44:17That’s awesome. And for those of you who might be driving or didn’t catch that, we will have it in the show notes as well, so that you can jot it down, check it out, if it sounds like it’s something that really resonates with you. Dr. Kelly, thank you so much for your time tonight. Is there any last words you want to leave with our listeners? Kelly McCann 44:35Of course, of course. There’s always hope.

In this episode, Melodieann Whiteley and Faye Nulman explore the power of inner guidance and why so many people have been conditioned to look outside themselves for answers. Through a conversation about intuition, healing, EFT tapping, body awareness, and emotional release, listeners are reminded that their own wisdom is always available. The discussion highlights practical ways to reconnect with your inner GPS, trust your instincts, release stuck emotions, and create space for greater clarity. One of the biggest takeaways is that healing doesn't always require doing more—it often begins by slowing down, breathing, listening, and allowing yourself the grace to rest.

She helps women reconnect with their confidence, purpose, and inner wisdom so they can build lives and businesses that align with who they truly are.

What if the healing you've been searching for isn't found by doing more, but by listening more deeply to the nudges already guiding you?In this fascinating conversation, I sit down with Anya Halama, holistic mentor, Akashic Records practitioner, and ayahuasca retreat facilitator, to explore her incredible journey from chronic illness, anxiety, depression, and burnout to a life devoted to healing, spiritual growth, and transformation.Anya shares how a powerful inner nudge led her to leave her life in Chicago behind, travel the world, and eventually find herself deep in the Colombian jungle working with plant medicine and guiding others through their own healing journeys.Together we explore the role of intuition, spiritual guidance, ancestral healing, generational trauma, and the profound lessons that can emerge when we stop resisting change and start trusting the unknown.Whether you're curious about ayahuasca, interested in deep healing, or simply learning to trust your own inner guidance, this episode offers wisdom, perspective, and practical insights to support your journey.Key Themes✨ Trusting the nudges that change your life✨ Healing ancestral and generational patterns✨ Ayahuasca as a tool for self-discovery and transformation✨ Connecting with spirit guides and intuition✨ The importance of preparation, integration, and self-responsibilityTakeaways

In this June 17th webinar, Tom opens by announcing that Cowan's Community Corner is now live. He shares that this space is where events are announced, where ongoing conversations can continue, and where members can participate in a monthly live Q&A with him.He then gives a recap of the first New Biology Experience Conference at Polyface Farm, describing it as a “wildly, almost amazingly successful” gathering. Tom thanks the organizing team, Polyface Farm staff, apprentices, interns, New Biology Clinic practitioners, and everyone who attended for helping create a joyful and memorable event.Highlights from the New Biology Experience include:-Tom's opening welcome on the importance of freedom and truth in developing community.-Joel Salatin's welcome and history of Polyface Farm, including the story of regenerating the land through rotational grazing.-The historic return of cows to a pasture that had not been grazed in over 100 years.-Tom's talk, “The Day the Science Died.”-Sessions with New Biology Clinic wellness specialists, including movement, EFT, biofield tuning, cooking, food classes, and practitioner-led talks.-Chris Brown's talk on vitality and the difference between healing and fixing.-Shared meals featuring food raised at Polyface Farm.-Live music from the Red Pill Friends, including their song “The Day the Science Died.”He then reflects on several themes and questions that came up during the event.Some questions discussed include:-What about this whole DNA story?-How can I do better, have a better life, feel happier, more joy?-What is this pain trying to tell me?-"I don't know anything about what's true. I don't know what's true anymore"-and much moreThroughout the webinar, Tom emphasizes that healing begins with asking the right question. Rather than focusing on fixing isolated diagnoses, test results, or symptoms, he encourages listeners to ask what would help them live a better, healthier, more joyful life. He also reflects on the importance of direct experience, sensory observation, clear thinking, experimentation, and shared community as reliable ways of knowing.Tom closes by sharing that he will be taking the summer off from regular Wednesday webinars to recharge, garden, care for the animals, and think through new ideas. He will continue monthly Cowan's Community Corner Q&As and weekly New Biology Clinic Q&As, and plans to return to the Wednesday webinars around mid-August.Sign up for C3 here.Check out Unbekoming's SubStack to read about the DNA Story here.Red Pill Friends YouTube & link to "The Day The Science Died" song here.Support the showWebsites:https://drtomcowan.com/https://www.drcowansgarden.com/https://newbiologyclinic.com/https://newbiologycurriculum.com/Instagram: @TalkinTurkeywithTomFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrTomCowan/Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/channel/CivTSuEjw6Qp/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzxdc2o0Q_XZIPwo07XCrNg

Your girl is in one of the most transformative seasons of her life - including my Saturn return gettin' started, a complete identity unraveling (back to 'factory settings' and who I really am), and (yay happy news!!)- getting engaged. And in the midst of it allll since last Fall, I realized something I never saw coming: I had become so good at optimizing my life/success that I accidentally optimized myself out of my true 100% genuine self expression & joy. In this deeply personal episode, I'm sharing the surprising subconscious patterns that shaped my ambition, how/why my body started speaking louder than my mind ever could, and the profound difference between your survival identity and your true essence. If you've ever felt like you're performing your life instead of fully living it, or existing too in your 'head' and the 'strategy' of it all instead of the authentic pleasure of this life experience for the sake of LIFE ITSELF, this conversation will help you come home to the version of you that is TRUEST. PSSST - some serious breakthough questions at the end of this episode for ya, GRAB YOUR JOURNAL!!!!! ⭐️ Join us in Dreamaway TO TAP ON THISSSS (see below) + for so many resources to help you get UNSTUCK including 40+ Dreamaway-exclusive tapping sessions (90 minutes of deep-dive subconscious rewiring/EFT tapping), visualizations, 40+ tapping "Money Dates" (abundance programming), daily tapping videos, weekly energy readings, astrological updates, and so much more! https://haleyhoffmansmith.com/dreamaway I ALWAYS KNEW: From Who You Had to Be, to Who You Always Were | Saturday, June 20th 1:00-2:30pm ET This session is about returning to YOU. Not the optimized version of you… not your 'survival identity' who learned to perform, succeed, people-please, shape-shift, or stay palatable. We're talkin' the REAL you. The one who has existed underneath all the conditioning the entire time and looks a lot like your preteen self, dreaming big for your beautiful life. We're going deep on the subtle identities we unconsciously built in order to be loved, chosen, safe, impressive, productive, "good," or successful… and clearing the exhaustion of carrying versions of yourself that were never fully true. Because somewhere along the way, many of us learned to disconnect from our natural desires, our creativity, our softness, our weirdness, our joy, our bigness, our voice in order to 'win approval' or 'stay safe'. This session is the return…. And the reactivation of best case scenario future envisioning, on YOUR unique terms. No one else's. Time to step back onto your custom blueprint life timeline and experience more success and bliss than ever as a result.

Part one of Kiera's conversation with Howard Farran on the Dentaltown podcast. They discuss how many details a dentist should know about their business, what about the COVID-19 pandemic still haunts practices, the AI of dentistry and the human care of patients, hidden gaps draining profitability, and more. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners, this is Kiera. And today we are sharing a guest interview I did on another podcast. And it was too valuable not to bring you guys here. this episode, you're gonna hear this host lead the conversation and then I'll wrap us up at the end. I cannot wait. It was truly one of my most episodes and I truly hope you enjoy. The Dental A Team (00:17) It's just a huge honor for me today to bring back Kiera Dent. How are you doing, Kiera? my gosh, Howard. It's so great to be back. I remember my very first podcast with you. I was actually at an office in Alabama and I went like hid in this room because I was starstruck podcasting with you. So to be able to be back on the show with you ⁓ several years later is just fun. I love what you guys are doing. I love Dentaltown. I love your posts. so it's really fun to be back. So thank you. ⁓ the honor is all mine. Just remember Kiera likes Shakira. And Dent is just her nickname. The full name is Dental Queen Goddess. So thank you. And ⁓ she is the founder and CEO of the Dental A Team, committed to elevating dentists and their teams to their highest level through customized in-office and virtual consulting and training. Her vast experience ranges from the front office to assistant, regional manager, and dental practice owner, giving her a perspective few consultants can claim. She and her team work with hundreds of dental practices nationwide and confidently say we don't just understand you, we are you. Among her many accomplishments, Ciara has grown a practice from 500,000 to 2.4 million in just nine months with a doctor straight out of dental school. She's coached hundreds of practices, authored numerous articles, and designed a customizable operations manual manual that serves as a roadmap for systems and team success. Her Dental A Team podcast has amassed nearly 2 million downloads, making it one of the most impactful resources in all of dentistry. Kiera lives every day by her core values. Do the right thing, ownership, passion for excellence, ease, grit, innovator, die, and fun. Her motto says it all. There is always a solution. And my gosh, I just want to tell you the truth. And the reason I was so excited to bring you on. It seems like dentistry has turned into two groups of dentists. There's all the old farts like me who, you know, we had, you know, we had great practices, great lives, great careers. And then you got these younger dentists that look at us and say, ⁓ man, you graduated in the good old days. You know, you didn't have five hundred thousand dollars of student loans, you didn't have DSOs, Delta hasn't given us a raise in four generations, and and and they're mad at the ADA. I think they're even mad at their mom. I I they're I think so and they're not happy. Do you have any good news? For these dental graduates with $500,000 of student loans, or did they make the wrong decision and should have become a plumber? I mean, you know, plumbing is always a backup plan if dentistry doesn't work. So I think you're like at least in that realm. Like, you know, there's always options. But I love dentistry and I actually, ⁓ I think we're actually in the best time of dentistry. And I know that yes, there's the good old days. Then Howard, those were great days for you. But I think like, how many options do people have now? We have AI, we have these innovations, and I mean. Your my example of a student straight out of dental school, we actually had one million. So I actually called her 2.5 because we had $2.5 million. So from student debt to practice loan debt to buying another location, all within a couple of months of us starting the practice. And so I called her 2.5 every time I walked past her. I was like, get that back straight, girl. Like we got 2.5 mil of debt on us. but to be able to grow our practice in nine months was Absolutely incredible. And I think that that's where dentistry is amazing. There is no cap, there is no ceiling, and you have a way to truly impact and change people's lives. And I'm like, you have DSOs as options. Like there were not the times where you were getting the multiples that you get today. You also have like there are so many avenues that dentistry can afford you. but I think it's a it's a matter of what you choose to focus on, is what you're going to find more of. If you want to sit here and say, ⁓ my gosh, it's awful. We have 500,000 of debt. And I'm like, Yeah, but guess what? My husband had Not quite the same, but we had several hundreds, thousands of dollars of debt. And he's a pharmacist. And so I understand what it's like to come out of school and have hundreds of thousands of dollars of debt on us. But guess what? He's making, you know, hundred, hundred and fifty. If we're lucky on a good day, we're capped out. It took us forever to pay back our student loans. But as dentistry, you have untapped and uncapped potential. And so for me, you get to change people's lives, you get to give them confidence, you get to help them have better health, and you're able to make people smile like. I can't think of a better opportunity to be a part of. And I'm not just Pollyanna over here. I coach hundreds and thousands of offices. I've seen the good, the bad, the ugly, and the in between. But I'll tell you, depending upon how you choose to view this, you can either find the good or the bad. And I'd recommend like, let's find the great because it's a gold line of opportunity if you want to see it. What what do you say to dentists who say, Mm-mm, you know, I I really don't want to complain really a bit. I mean, on paper my My practice looks perfect. I got two hygienists. I do a million dollars. I do all this, but just internally it just feels chaotic and stressful. So it looks like on paper he's doing everything right. But she says, I still feel like chaos and stress. What's what's that about? I think like welcome to being a business owner. I think that there's two sides of success. In the word success, there's literally the word suck. Like there are parts of success that are going to suck. Like that's just how it is, guys. And so that chaos and internal turmoil, I think I there I have lots of offices where you don't have to be that way. And I think going from like operator doing all the pieces, being stressed out into like a CEO of a business. ⁓ I think sometimes dentists are such gunners doers, they're so hands-on that they have this internal chaos. But there there are paths again that don't have to be that way. But I also think this is part of the game of business that we signed up for. And I think when you get to the level like Howard. You've seen, I've seen over our career, we've got the gunners and the doers and the like zero to two year business owners. Like it's freaking chaos. It's psycho. Like you're learning these things just like you're back in dental school. But as you mature, you start to realize that the chaos is just part of the game. And the more you're able to learn to weather it, to see it, and to not do all the pieces, elevate your team, get great people, do like hire it out. You can hire, I mean, a practice is doing a million and you got great profitability and overhead. You can hire a lot of great people to take away a lot of your problems. And so like, let's get some of those things done. And then you actually become happier and you make more money. So that you don't have to sit in that chaos. I think that there's a part of it that will always suck. but there's also a part that can really be the successful part too, that's fulfillment and enjoyment. But you got to make the steps and take the steps to do it rather than just sit and complain about it. Love it, love it, love it. ⁓ what do you what do you say about the ⁓ the dentist who got out of school, goes and works for a major DSO, say say he's working for Rick Workman, Heartland, and he works there two years, and you know, he you know, he's working for a guy that owns eighteen, nineteen hundred dental offices, but he can't tell you the code for a profit. Can't he'll say, like, you know, are they paying my pay right? Really? You can't check at you. I mean, it it's like It's like they'll listen to a forty hour lecture on the difference between two different composites, but they did I mean th they worked through two years, they don't know insurance codes, they can't check out a patient, they don't know the software. I mean, I had one guy tell me, ⁓ the only thing you could tell me about the practice manager software is the brand name. He couldn't tell me and then he's asking me, you know, it what which one you know, but anyway, do you think do you think a dentist doesn't need to know all the business details? Or do you think that's a blind spot and you can't delegate anything till you can do it and master it? I think that there's two types of owners. And I think that there's some that are really great at hiring people that they are great at hiring people, knowing it, listening to podcasts, hiring coaches, training the team, and like having somebody spot check for you. Then there's others that like they've got to know the ins and outs. But I think that like Howard, there's To me, there's also a middle ground where I think that you can go sit with your biller for one day and just like say, like, walk me through your process. So you have a general idea and an understanding of what they do. Go watch to see how they schedule. ⁓ I think when it comes to billing, I do think the dentists have a very big blind spot. And to me, that is like as a business owner, not to know how your money comes to you. To me, that feels like a pretty big blind spot of like even just understanding that knowledge. And so If I were to say, I don't think you need to know the ins and outs. I love like I recognize this. I was a business owner of it. I own practices. I worked with hundreds of dentists at Midwestern University's Dental College. Like, I hear what you guys are taught. Plus, I'm a team member on the other side. And so I created a billing course and an office manager course because I just want a dentist to know like, what should I be able to expect? And I think like if you want to just have a general overview so you don't get blindsided, you you can have it. I think you can quickly within like a week. Know the bulk of like everything you need to know in a practice very simply, very easily. So that way you can delegate. That way you can have it. You're not gonna be perfect. but I think just having a general awareness. And then I love to give doctors just a quick checklist, like once a month, go spot check, go grab an EOB. Even if you don't know what the heck that EOB is, go ask your front office for it, check it. And just the more you learn that language, just like the language of business, I think it doesn't need to be an overnight sensation. But I do think the more you're aware of it, I don't think you have to do every single role though to be a successful practice owner. And I mean, shoot, if Heartland can do it, I think it's a good example. But I think who are you? And are you a hands-on tactical person? Are you somebody who's really good at hiring people, t trusting other people, getting the checklist and spot checking? I think you can do it either way. But my recommendation is like just like one week, go like sit in every seat of your practice and get a general awareness and educate yourself on the things that you don't know. I'm really big on money, understanding at least how insurance works. And then also how do we like present cases, what are kind of the flow that way those big zones that really impact your financials, you can you can be aware of. So those courses, those online CE courses, your website is The Dental A Team. The Dental A Team. Now I think the A Team, you need that guy with the Mohawk and all the bling. I mean that's who I am in my like spare time. This hair is just a facade. Like, you know, I hang out as Mr T. Mr T. Mr T, Mr T, yeah. That's why I was thinking the A Team, but is that on your on your website, the th those courses? Yeah, they are. So we have an online library, it's all C E. We've got downloadable checklists, we've got operations manual. You got it. That's exactly right. And Howard, in real time, I'll have our marketing team actually put together a code. If you guys put in Dentaltown, since you're listening, we'll make sure that you guys get a coupon code for that as well. Well, since it's my compass podcast IRS that you just put Fabio. you want Fabio? Okay. well in that case. So ⁓ so is I also see you have a ⁓ Summit twenty twenty six is live on Friday, April twenty fourth. Grab your ticket. Where's where's that show gonna be? Is it Reno where you are? You know, that's actually virtual, Howard, and it's one of our like favorite comebacks constantly. And the reason I do it virtual, people have been asking me for years, like, why don't you do it in person, Kiera? And what I found is Because it's so like again as a team member, I really struggle to get my team ramped up, amped up, and have it be financially affordable. So what I found is if we can have it virtual in your practice with your full team, you guys are able to get this boost and surge of energy and have a good time. So it's for leadership teams, it's for doctors. ⁓ we've been doing it for six years strong and we tend to have hundreds of offices. You get your whole office there, you have a good time. But yeah, it's virtual and it's C E and it's a great time. ⁓ I attend a lot of Tony Robbins, a lot of Brendan Bouchard, Rachel Hollis. So we've learned how to do people have told me the online experience is so fun. ⁓ we just get continual people coming back year after year after year. So yeah, come join us. It'd be a great time. I love Tony Robbins because ⁓ you know, my boys they wrestled year round from age five to fifteen. Yeah. Made our garage. I got two real wrestling mats from the manufacturer in Pennsylvania delivered by an AJ Miller. So I never ever parked in my garage ever. And we would we were listening to that Tony Robbins 30 day, 30 day personal power. Yep. And then I and then I bought my first laptop when I went to MBA school. And so I took notes on it. And then when I was done, I I ⁓ closed down Saturday and I went to a studio Saturday, Sunday, and I ranted out my notes. And I said, this has got to be 30 hours because I mean it's still Tony Robbins 30 day personal power. And that was the 30-day dental MBA. ⁓ and it worked out to be about thirty hours. But I'm telling you, the pandemic changed everything. That was when ⁓ online CE at Dentaltown just went through the roof and it hasn't come back and dental meetings haven't come back. Cause why do I need to fly to Chicago to listen to you if I got a Zoom call or or streaming video or this event. I mean, I mean, just think of the plane ticket, the hotel, the sitting and attending. If you're in Phoenix, you know, just to get to New York is a five hour flight. I mean, why I I gotta fly five hours each way when I could see you on YouTube or a podcast or or whatever. But I wanna but I want to go back to that pandemic because that pandemic, I really think the reason you can really do this so successfully today is because of that pandemic. That's why we realize I don't have to be in the flesh to learn knowledge. And and like I I I feel fine talking to you. I me too. The only thing I regret is teaching my mother how to do that. I got her FaceTime and all that kind of stuff. And because she calls to tell me about ever every one of her exciting things is junk mail she has. She's eighty seven and she believes every piece of junk mail. I love it. She's always free freaking out on her junk mail. But but I want to talk about the pan the dark side of the pandemic. And that is a lot of people think about 20% of the hygienists left to practice. Before, you know, when I got out of school, your labor was supposed to be twenty percent, your overhead was supposed to be fifty percent. And by the time it was it didn't even take 10 or 20 years, and and due to insurance, I think not keeping up, ⁓ overhead went to basically two thirds. It went to about sixty-five percent and labor went to about twenty five, sometimes twenty-seven percent. I'm hearing thirty percent labor all the time. And I mean I mean I'm talking about serious dudes who know the business of dentistry. And I don't I don't want to get my buddy Rick Kirstram out of me. He owns a hundred comfort dentals and he said he can't he said he's got the mean and lean where labor is twenty. He says he's got mean and leans with labor at twenty-eight, twenty-eight and a half. So so the the pandemic is ⁓ it that was five years ago. Why do you think it seriously impacted labor cost of the pandemic. I do, Howard. And I think I think we kind of have this perfect storm, right? Like I think we've got multiple waves coming at us that have impacted. I think the pandemic pushed out those that were like, you know, I'm done. Like, like I'm good. I'm at the end of my career. I don't really want to do that. ⁓ a lot of hygienists are female and I think a lot of them realize they did not need two incomes anymore. And so it's like, you know, I want to be with my kids. I want to be home. And then hygiene schools don't pump out a lot of hygienists and it's usually like a two year span. So yes, I have actually seen like hygiene is it really did, and then it clicked up. So the cost of hygienist has gone up astronomically. I mean, I think the highest I've seen of a hygienist being paid was 85 an hour. And to me, I was like, at that point, that was up in ⁓ it was up in Washington, up by Bellevue, Mount Vernon, that area. And I literally saw the the posting for 85 plus a a bonus, and I was like, Screw that at that point. Like in all respect to hygienists, I'm gonna hire a dentist for that cost. Like I truly will. And that's not being disrespectful. It's just like a dentist is a more multifaceted. I understand they are not great hygienists, but if I have to and I'm gonna be putting this number up, like we've got to get to a space where it does work. So yes, I do. However, there are more hygienists coming onto the market. I still know that this is one of the hardest things, but ⁓ I have a practice that's out in Maui, rough life, huh, Howard? I get to fly to Maui to go do work, like. You know, shout out to that office. ⁓ but what we found is we were able to find a way to get the hygienist to be paid exponentially higher by doing assisted hygiene. And so I think I'm seeing people innovate. I think I'm watching them create. I think I'm seeing people do some more outsourced costs in the front office. And so they're able to then offset the costs of the clinical team. ⁓ I think that people are just getting innovative and creative. And what I want to highlight is while this feels annoying, this is also business. And if we don't innovate and if we don't continue to evolve, We actually decay and decline as an as an organization and as an industry. And so I know it's annoying and I absolutely empathize. And you're right. Like for me on our payroll, we're at 30%. Like I've had that as our metric for our clients for the last five years because payroll costs have gone up. But I'm like, but just because they've gone up, like let's look at several other industries. I mean, we're not here to like love on or hate on McDonald's, but I'm like, they have kiosks. They figured it out. I checked in at a hotel in downtown San Francisco. There was no person there when I checked in. It was literally a person on Zoom just like this. I clicked in, they said hello to me. They took my information, but they didn't have to have a physical body in the office. And I think with AI and technology, dentistry is going to evolve, but I think the art and the care of patients does not need to evolve. And so, like, let's put our dollars where that matters and let's be able to look and innovate in other ways that keep our costs low. ⁓ I still think dentistry, I mean, why is there a one percent default rate on loans? Like, Banks are still lending. We had the first down year of DSOs last year and the first uptick of private practice last year. And so when I look at these things, like it is still a great business to be in, even though labor costs, like, guys, again, it's just another flavor of business. So like let's figure out how to innovate. Let's figure out how to do it. And like, yes, I'm gonna pay for great people. I see team members as assets, not liabilities. And I'm gonna cut and chop on other areas that I can, but I'm also gonna be smart with my labor costs and make sure each person hitting their KPIs, they've got numbers that they're driving. We are running this as an efficient business while like loving and taking care of our patients at the same time. I'm glad you mentioned bank loans because it's less than one percent default rate. Yes. All the defaults have the same thing in common. They all had their license taken away. Right. Always. And and if it's for drugs or alcohol, they now treat that as a medical disease. And the dentists still say, Screw you, I'm not gonna quit doing biking. And then they run south of the border. And that's why whenever you find a dentist down there that looks like me. They're running for free Vicada. They they they said I'm not peeing any. So unless you, you know, do something just horrible. I mean, and you know, you have you have to get your it licensed in your way. But I w I wanna tell you about you know, there's just so many other things that you can focus on besides labor, like increasing their productivity. ⁓ I know dental offices. you can get a full if you pay a dentist in the Philippines five dollars an hour. You get the best dentists in the Philippines. And I and there's dental offices that with Zoom and things like that are doing all their insurance and their claims and all that stuff. I mean, ⁓ so the with with with ⁓ with the internet, I mean you can literally have someone ⁓ be at the front desk ⁓ on a on a kiosk that's actually a dentist from the Philippines from five dollars an hour who when he's not busy can be calling your insurance companies all that. I I want to ask you another thing that's really hot on Dentaltown. today. Everybody keeps talking about these dental insurance EFTs versus virtual credit cards. but basically everybody's reporting that major dental companies like even Delta are gonna stop sending paper checks and you gotta do it all electronic. And I guess that that electronic could be free, but it could be you know it could be another three and a half or three percent credit card fee on all your claims. Or what or what are your thoughts on all that? I'm hard on that I have and I'm a hard no on the credit cards. Like, why? Why are you doing that? EFTs are so fast. Like there's absolutely no reason to be paying this. Explain to my home. A lot of them don't even know what a EFT. Mo I I bet 80% of the the dentists listen don't even know what we're talking about. Will you explain it? Will you explain it like I just graduated from dental school eight minutes ago? Of course. Well, I think that this is also where going back a little bit where you said, like, do dentists need to know the business? To me. You don't even have to know that much, but I want to just challenge you that if you're getting a three, three and a half percent cut on your payments for quote unquote ease, that's a real big hit. And I would just challenge you to think about like for what and why. And so coming in, there's different ways the insurances are going to pay you. So they're gonna pay you via paper check, they're gonna pay you via EFT, which is a electronic fund transfer, or they've got this new thing where they're gonna pay you via credit card. And like honestly, to me, the credit card is so scammy. And I've talked to so many people and like educate me, like, why would anybody do this? Like, I cannot comprehend. Like, I'm already taking a cut on insurance as is. Like, thank you for my marketing fee to be an insurance. Like, that's how I view that that write-off. Like, I know you hate it, but you're also gonna, you're either gonna have to do that, or you're gonna have to pay for marketing to bring in fee for service patients. So, like, again, let's just think about that. But I'm like, so I've already got a cut there, but I'm then gonna take another hit in addition to that for a credit card ease. So as we're talking about that electronic fund transfers, they deposit straight into your bank account. The reason that some offices don't care for electronic fund transfers is because like trying to match it up is a like it kind of dumps and chunks into your bank account. So all you need to do is help your team members. Like there's ways that you can have it where it automatically emails your team when that comes through. So then they can go online and they can find out what the EFT was, so then they can balance and like enter it in. I do think dentistry software is so dated because what happens is when we get paid from the insurance company, we get either like it's called an EOB, it's an explanation of benefits, and it's like batch checks. So when they dump this money to you, Delta's gonna give me like 20 grand. But like, who do I allocate that 20 grand to of all these patients? So that's I think where some people have like, well, electronic funds are so annoying and this and that. But I'm like, they're very quick, they're very fast, they're a lot safer than paper checks. Paper checks people do get embezzled on. That I literally see no reason. Like, I don't care if you get it like one day sooner with a credit card, you are paying a huge hefty fee on that unnecessarily when electronic fund transfers are pretty much just as fast. Like maybe a like smidgey of a delay. But to me, that's a that's a very worthwhile smidgey of a delay. Because you're getting your payments so much faster. And as long as you're staying on top of it, you should still be able to maintain a 98% collections rate, even if you do checks or if you do electronic fund transfers. It just is so. So dumb. I've yet to see a reason. But to me, I'm like insurances are so smart because it's just another way for them to take a chip out of what they're paying you and to have it come back to them. So again, think of the motive as to why they're offering. These people are not dumb. Those insurance companies, if you've ever gone to a business who's the biggest building in the entire city, it's your insurance companies. They're not dumb businesses. And I think we need to be smarter business owners that out think that. They always but Delta always says, we're Yeah, so is Rolex Watch. Rolex Watch is a non profit. And and some of the CEOs of some of the anyway, we won't go there. But ⁓ yeah, ⁓ so what other ⁓ besides you know, when when someone tells me about their overhead, I tell them, look, I can't call the government and have my tax rate lowered. I can't call the nuclear power plant SRP or APS and tell them to lower my electric bill. I mean, something I i if the hygienists can Wants a dollar an hour and if I say no, I'll give you 75 cents and she can go get a dollar across the street. I mean the market sets many, many prices. So the only way to fight that back is to ⁓ increase your productivity. You know, I mean if if if you have a dollar in labor and they do a dollar in dentistry, your overhead is a hundred percent. But if your dollar in overhead can do two dollars in dentistry, now it's down to fifty percent. So how so ⁓ are there other ⁓ hidden gaps that are quietly draining profitability, or has it just come down to production? Or is it both I like I'm so glad you brought this up because I think like it's so easy to sit here and say, like, dentistry's not profitable. But I'm like, go find me another business that has a one percent fell rate that usually can run twenty to thirty percent profit margins if you run a business right. And this is not just Kiera sitting here fluff. This is like I got real clients running at these margins consistently. They've got large practices, small practices. And so when I look at this and I'm like, okay, how do we make this more efficient? A lot of people want to go to the first thing of like, let's cut insurances. And I'm like, yay, pop the confetti, but be real smart. Because again, you're gonna then increase marketing fees, you're gonna lose a lot of your patient base. Like, let's just think through the ramifications. And so there's lots of different ways that we can increase productivity and not have to go for the cut. So I look at three levers that I found that can increase a practice. So one is we can increase our production. We're talking net production, not gross, like please feed your family, not your ego. So that's number one. Number two is what's your collection percentage? Cause half the time doctors feel like they're broke and they don't have money, but your money's sitting in AR, which is your aging reports or your accounts receivable. We're not collecting the money and we don't have a good billing process. We got to get our collections up to 98%. And then the third thing is like we cut costs. And so looking at that, a lot of people want to go to just cut costs. I'm like, but in dentistry, let's break it down. If I want to add 10 grand more to my practice. I love to help teams. Most offices are working four days a week. So if we're wanting to add 10 grand to a practice, working four days a week, let's do 10,000 and we're working 16 days a month. That's an extra six twenty-five a day. Well, how can we make six twenty-five in a dental practice? Let's think about our fluoride applications. Let's think about FMXs. Like I'm just talking, this is your lowest hanging fruit for you. Let's talk about could we add one or two fillings? Could we add like same-day dentistry, which is going to make more raving fans for our patients? There is so much ease in there. Now, to increase our production, we can also look at our case acceptance. Doctors have so much case acceptance. And also, what are we diagnosing? I'm like, doctors, if you want to be producing 100 grand a month, the statistics are you need to be diagnosing three times that amount. And then we need to make sure our treatment coordinators are really good at diagnosing explaining treatment to them. They're not diagnosing, but they're explaining the treatment. They're presenting it in a way. We're not using insurance as our main driver. We're using it as like a coupon. And then we're really good at our follow through and our follow up. Gotta have a right person, right seat in your treatment coordinator seat that's obsessive with hitting the right goals. And so there's like so many little ways. Like you can in I have added block scheduling, which I know is like a consultant's number one favorite thing to talk about, but like make it really make sense and easy for your team. I've added a million to a practice with no extra days, no extra work. We literally are just being more strategic with how we schedule. And so there's just so many little ways that I want dentists to realize like, To me, I get really excited. This is where I geek out as a consultant. I geek out and I love to help that is because I'm like, how can I like squeeze more juice from the lemon you're already in? Like, let's just make more lemonade. Let's figure out ways to do it. And then let's make sure our costs are effective. So we teach your teams how to look at the business as a business. We teach each team member about their one KPI that's really going to drive it forward. We help them track. I just did this with an office manager this week and she's so lit up to look at her numbers, to look at her metrics, to see how she can do it. And when they start to see how they can click it through, it's not you trying to push and drive more money. Like doctors, I tell everybody, every team member, you want your doctor to be so freaking profitable. Because if they're profitable and they're like they're secure, your life is so much better. So like I'm like dentists, we got to get you profitable, we to get the cash flow, we got to get you less stressed because you're gonna be a better dentist and a better business owner. But how are there's so many little easy ways where it's just low-hanging Typically I'm able to add 10 to 30% of production in usually 90 days to an office, like very consistently with just small little reps, no real extra work. How are we doing our exams? Are we being directive in our treatment planning? Are we using like, okay, next visit I want to see you for this? And when do I want to see you back? And how much time is this going to take? Like, let's break down the barriers of treatment planning. There's so many little simple things that if you just implement, you can be very profitable very easily. And then look at your P L. If you're not looking at your P and L every single week or month, like just being aware, getting into the language of business, that's also gonna help you too. So yes, cut. ⁓ but I found that it's always a lot easier to make sure our collections match, our production matches, and we use those little low hanging fruits. ⁓ and it's there. Like dentistry is such a magical, like, like it's a great lemon tree. You can make a lot of lemonade out of a dental practice. I want you to tell me if I'm right or wrong or or I think I think there's two threes to double your price. Number one, if three people call your front desk, one is going to come in because they're smart and they need to they know they need to get their teeth clean. One isn't gonna come in for anything and you can hear them vaping and smoking and drinking beer and eating Cheetos on the call. But one out of three needs a little extra push. And if you train the person answering the phone, they can close that one out of three. And if they do, they doubled your practice. Then when they get in, you still got the now you got three people in chair. One's gonna do what you say because you're a doctor and they've done their their author search and and you say they got a cavity, they're not gonna argue with you. One's not gonna do anything. In fact, in fact in fact I was like I had about a dozen patients that in the middle of my treatment plan, they asked me if they could just take a cigarette break ⁓ from my presentation and they went outside, had a cigarette, came back. They're gonna do it. But the other one in three needs some some closing skills. And so if you if you can close on the phone You doubled your practice. You you got two butts in instead of instead of one. And if you fix your treatment plan presentation, you're gonna do two cases at one. And I think it's so funny now because the dentists have never let their hygienist or assistant, let alone receptionist, do any diagnosing treatment plan. But now AI, Pearl, and Overjet diagnosing all the cavities. So you wouldn't let your hygienist while she's in there for an hour. Diagnose and treatment plan and sell the dentistry, the assistant while they're taking FMX, they they can't point out, yeah, see, that's a cavity, you don't need a filling and a root now. yeah, they couldn't do it because they were humans. But now Pearl and Overjeck can do it all day long and you're good with that. I mean, so so what how do you how do you double the close rate from one out of three to two out of three on the phone? How do you double the treatment plan acceptance rate from one to two out of three? Yeah. Do you do you agree those are possible goals? Absolutely, Howard. I think again, this is the low hanging fruit that people are like, but that feels so hard. And I'm like, choose your hard. Like, is it harder to spend a little time with a front office and train them how to do this? Is it a little like, or is it harder to be cash flow negative? Like you choose what's your hard to me? Absolutely. Let's go after that. And I agree with you. Like teaching a team to preheat an oven, I call it what would doctor do. And so like, let's train our hygienist. Like I tell all hygienists, doctor should be the second opinion, not the first opinion. And you got Pearl and you got Overjet. And so just spending a little bit of time with your team. So what we typically do for case acceptance, like let's go hit that one quick and then we'll talk about scheduling. Is I'm really big on let's get the whole team where we're talking the same language. So we recommend, like, what would doctor do? I recommend you run this over the course of six weeks, is typically how long it takes, anywhere from six weeks to maybe three months. but we're gonna sit there and we're literally going to go through. We're gonna pull up an FMX. We're gonna do it one day over lunch. Hygienists, doctors, and if you want front office and dental assistance, rock on. But really, I want my like people that are seeing the bulk of my patients with doctor and hygiene. We're gonna look there and I want all of our hygienists to start like if we have an FMX up there and the interaurals, what is doctor going to recommend and how is doctor gonna talk about it? We're not just gonna sit here and have a nice little chit-chat. We're each gonna write it down because I wanna make sure every hygienist starts to get very, very comfortable. And the goal that I tell all hygienists is Your goal should be at the end of this, what would doctor do training over six weeks? And if doctors are really consistent with it, I'm like six weeks of training to be able to double your practice and increase your case acceptance to me is a very good use of my time. So if I can do that, doctors and hygienists, you should be able to have 95% accuracy with your doctors at the end of this. And they do it. So hygienists get really lit up and they get very excited about it because now they're able to preheat the oven. They're able to talk to patients about it, use Pearl, use Overjet. And then doctors, when they tee it up to you, and I say like hygienist, you've got to be the ones who first like introduce it, talk about it with the doctor as soon as they come in, but be real quick. So we introduce the patient, we compliment the patient on something, we recap the treatment that's discussed and we say something personal. Hygienist, you do that, your doctor exams will be much shorter for you and doctors will love it because it's very quick. If we can get that dialed in, and then doctors, you have a very like confirm the treatment. then recommend exactly what needs to happen. And then we take that same baton up to the front office and front office, we schedule first. We then present the treatment. We use insurance secondary. I'm never leading with insurance. You do these little items which seem like, ⁓ no, that's like very quick, easy things. You're going to rapidly be able to help those ones. And then I do a two two two follow-up. So if they did not close for me and I'm going to go through it and I'm going to work through and I'm going to track all the people that didn't say yes to me and all the people that did say yes to me. I'm gonna look for patterns. What are people saying yes? Like those are easy ones. Those are the gimme's. Those are the easy patients that Howard said. I'm looking for the people that say no and what's my pattern in there? And how do I change my verbiage? Because treatment planning is 80% psychology, 20% skill. So like what are you thinking? How are we presenting it? What are the words we're saying? One or two little changes usually will close that. What are the patterns and how can I get that number up higher? And I follow up with them in two days, two weeks, two months to make sure that they don't follow off. People are like, Kiera, you really make your treatment coordinator do that? And like, yeah, I was your treatment coordinator that closed $50,000 same day. And this is exactly what I did. This is how I've trained co offices across the nation to do it. You just have these simple little things that help them out. And then you flip over to our scheduling. Like, I think scheduling's easy, Howard. I genuinely do. I'm like, half of it is just be nice. Like you got the COVID crank, and so many people are so grumpy and so like. Annoyed when they pick up the phone, then I'm like, you can already leap your ahead by just being nice and being excited to welcome a patient. Then take like charge of that conversation. So let's take the ownership of that conversation. If someone's Do you take my insurance? I'm going to quickly redirect and say, my gosh, how did you hear about us? I'm going to answer that, but I want to find out how did they hear about us? If it's our Google reviews, if it's a referral, if it's somewhere else, I want to like say, my gosh, you're so lucky to be here. We love our patients. We love our reviews. I can't wait for you to be a great raving fan too. let's talk about this. I can everything can be overcome. Please do not let being out of network stop people. It's a thousand dollar coupon and we're turning people away over that. No, no, no. We are better than that. And if we are the best dentist, they need to be coming to us. We need to win these patients over, make them feel so loved. Let's get them scheduled. Let's make this a great experience for them. Let's make them feel so excited. I did it with PT called like six offices. And the office I chose, like so many people were annoyed I was calling. Can I put you on hold? Can I do this? And I was like, no one really wants my business. If you're just nice and you take control of that conversation, you can easily turn and transform your practice. So hopefully that was like not too much. I like I love these things. I love training treatment planning. I love training how to like take control of a phone call. I love helping teams overcome those little simple objections because it's very, very simple things. that make massive leaps and bounds of change. And it's a great way to double your practice very easily, like you said. The Dental A Team (36:13) All right, Dental A Team listeners, that was the guest interview that I absolutely loved.

Brad Yates guides EFT tapping around acknowledging ignorance without equating it with stupidity or shame. This session helps release defensiveness and supports openness to learning and growth.
Have you ever found yourself asking: why can't I get it together? Why am I struggling so much when others seem fine? In this grounding and compassionate episode, Dr. Margaret Paul offers a profound reframe for anyone who has ever felt like a mess. What you are likely experiencing is not a personal failure, but a nervous system dysregulation. And understanding what that means, where it comes from, and how to respond to it with love rather than judgment can begin to change everything. Dr. Paul explains how the nervous system constantly scans for safety or danger, how childhood environments shape the survival patterns we still carry into adulthood, and why self-judgment only deepens dysregulation rather than resolving it. She also shares practical tools for nervous system regulation, including vagal breathing, EFT, EMDR, and somatic experiencing, and offers a gentle guided moment to help you connect with your inner child right now. Come explore a kinder, more compassionate way of understanding yourself in Why Am I Such a Mess? Understanding Nervous System Dysregulation. Enjoy the podcast? Subscribe and leave a 5-star review!

Happy Mindful Monday Everyone! In this week's episode, our host Allie Brooke sits down with Katarzyna (Kasia) Dodd. She is a European-licensed psychologist, therapist, and author who is completely shifting how we approach subconscious healing. She is the developer of the Inner Parent Theory—a powerful and necessary missing piece of the traditional Inner Child framework —which she explores deeply in her book, You Are the Dream of the Universe. As a true pioneer in somatic and energy work, Katarzyna introduced Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) to Poland and created the Inherence® Process, a dedicated method for restoring an unshakeable connection with your deepest Self. Born in Kraków, she spent 22 years in the United States before relocating to the Indian Ocean coast of Africa, bringing a highly global and expansive perspective to her practice. Her newest book, The Chameleon's Game, exposes the hidden psychological traps of covert narcissism. In this episode, she breaks down those draining dynamics and provides a clear, actionable roadmap for reclaiming your self-trust, personal clarity, and peace. In this episode, they discuss; Rebuilding from the Ground Up: The vital first step to constructing a supportive, protective "Inner Parent" immediately following a relationship that shattered self-worth. Embodiment vs. Intellectualizing Healing: Why logically understanding toxic dynamics isn't enough to heal, and how the Inherence® Process bridges that gap to restore connection with the "deep Self." Real-Time Nervous System Regulation: Navigating sudden triggers, fear, or intrusive memories using immediate somatic tools (like EFT and meditation) rather than defaulting to old subconscious safety mechanisms. The Anatomy of a Grounded Boundary: The critical energetic difference between setting a boundary fueled by reactive fear and anger versus one anchored by a calm, empowered Inner Parent.

Trust God's Plan for Your Life (Even When It Looks Different Than Yours) Have you ever found yourself gripping tightly to a vision for your life, only to have everything unfold differently than you imagined? In this heartfelt Monday episode, Jackie shares one of the biggest lessons she's learned over the past year: sometimes the greatest blessing isn't what God gives you—it's what He lovingly redirects, removes, or protects you from. Drawing from the affirmation inside her 21 Days of Tapping, Prayer & Affirmations experience, Jackie explores the powerful practice of surrendering control, trusting divine timing, and learning to recognize the subtle whispers, nudges, and miracles guiding you toward a bigger plan than the one you created for yourself. If you're navigating uncertainty, grief, change, relationship transitions, health challenges, parenting struggles, or simply feeling called into a new season of life, this episode will remind you that you are not walking alone. Based on today's affirmation: "I trust God's plan for my life." Jackie shares personal stories, lessons from a recent church service, powerful tapping insights, and a moving experience helping a First Nations elder release years of physical pain through EFT tapping. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why surrendering control often creates space for bigger blessings How to trust God's timing when life feels uncertain The difference between giving up and cooperating with divine guidance How grief can deepen your connection with God, Spirit, or the Universe The importance of paying attention to subtle nudges, glimmers, and miracles Three qualities that create courage: trust, humility, and faith A powerful journaling prompt to uncover resistance to trusting your path How EFT tapping can help you find peace in seasons of transition The remarkable healing experience Jackie witnessed with a First Nations elder Why learning EFT tapping can become one of the most valuable tools in your life Journal Prompt Rate your agreement with this statement on a scale from 0–10: "I trust God's plan for my life." Then journal on: "I don't trust God's plan for my life because..." Allow yourself to be completely honest and specific. The more specific you are, the more clarity and healing become available. Powerful Quote from This Episode "Maybe there is something greater that you don't even know exists yet. By being willing to surrender your plan, your control, and your idea of how things should happen, you may be guided onto a path more magnificent than you could have imagined."

In this episode of The Empowered Spirit Show, we begin with the intensity of the full moon and the way its light can reveal the hidden places within us that are ready to be seen, released, and transformed. As spring comes to a close, we pause to reflect on what we have been planting in our lives, our energy, and our spiritual practice. Soon, the growth will begin to take hold. The question becomes: are we willing to stop living by the old rules and allow the new season to teach us another way? This episode explores the energy of entering a new room in life, where the old survival strategies no longer work. We look at how the nervous system can continue to follow old patterns even when life is asking us to expand, soften, trust, and receive. The episode closes with an EFT tapping meditation to help release old energetic agreements and begin writing new rules from the soul rather than from survival. The new room does not require you to master its rules overnight. It only asks that you stop letting the old room be the authority. Each time you notice the old strategy rising, pause. Breathe. Tap. Listen. A new rule may be ready to write itself through you. Thank you for joining me for The Empowered Spirit Show. And may you trust the new room as you step more fully onto the path ahead.

Welcome to another EFT Tapping Session on the YOU CAN CALL ME “BOSSY” PODCAST! In this replay EFT the conversation is focused on elevating your wealth vibration through a targeted EFT tapping session. One concept discussed was the importance of releasing doubts, old limiting beliefs, and resistance to abundance in order to embrace prosperity. A key theme is recognizing prosperity as a birthright and cultivating a harmonious, thriving vibration to attract financial success. I raise several points, including the value of letting go of low vibration thoughts and embracing the natural state of abundance and wealth. NEED A VISUAL WHILE YOU TAP?

I'd love to hear your thoughts, feedback and insights on what could improve The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast in this short poll - it takes 2 minutes, and as a thank you, we'll send you a little gift!How many times have you walked into a doctor's appointment knowing something is wrong, and walked out feeling dismissed, unheard, or handed an explanation that just doesn't fit?For women with ADHD, the intersection of hormones and neurodivergence has been one of medicine's most neglected areas. Not because it isn't important, but because for too long, women have been considered too complex, too variable, too messy to study properly. And the cost of that has been devastating.This week on The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm welcoming back Dr Lotta Borg Skoglund, a psychiatrist, researcher, and Associate Professor at Uppsala University in Sweden. Lotta has spent years investigating how hormonal fluctuations shape ADHD across women's entire reproductive lives — and her new book, Female Hormones and ADHD: The Impact on Brain and Body, is out in the UK on 4th June.What Lotta shares in this episode is not just fascinating; it is information that women deserve to have, and that could genuinely change their long-term health.In this episode, we explore:Why women have historically been excluded from research, and what that has cost us clinicallyLotta's new research on ADHD medication during pregnancy, lactation, and across the menstrual cycleWhy neurodivergent women may experience perimenopause symptoms earlier, and why this so often goes unrecognisedThe critical window of opportunity for hormone therapyWhy a hormonal assessment should come before receiving ADHD medicationThe link between postmenopausal oestrogen loss and heart attacks in womenThe connections between ADHD and endometriosis, PCOS, burnout, pain and sick leaveWhy every doctor (regardless of specialism) needs to be asking about hormonesHow we can use the predictable hormonal risk windows across a woman's reproductive life to support herTestosterone, perimenopause, and what the research does and doesn't yet tell usHow Lotta's new book can help you advocate for yourself in the doctor's officeThis episode is for every woman who has ever felt that her hormonal health and her neurodivergence were being treated as two completely separate problems by two completely separate systems.Lotta's work is quietly changing what is possible for us, and this conversation is essential listening.You can also listen to our previous conversations with Lotta here:E120 Connecting Hormones and Psychiatry to help more ADHD womenE174: Breaking down ADHD Neuroscience, Menstrual Cycles, Hormones and AnxietyThis week's episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.If you're parenting a neurodivergent child, I'd recommend listening to their podcast, Everybody Gets a Juicebox, as it's full of relatable stories and practical tools to help your family thrive while protecting your own wellbeing, too!The ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live Event Recording is here!My first-ever ADHD Women's Wellbeing Live event sold out, and now the full experience is available to you wherever you are, whenever it feels right.Alongside three neuro-affirming experts, we spent four hours exploring the questions that matter most to late-diagnosed women.

Victoria shares why the belief that "I have to work hard to make money" is often about much more than money. For many entrepreneurs, it traces back to deeper experiences around love, approval, worthiness, and what it took to feel valued growing up.If you've ever felt like you have to constantly prove yourself, stay productive, or work hard to deserve success, this episode will help you uncover where those beliefs may have come from and how they're affecting your ability to receive "with ease."If this episode resonated with you and you're realizing that your hard work wound may be rooted in deeper beliefs around worthiness, love, approval, or safety, this is exactly the kind of work I help my private clients with.In my 4-month 1:1 coaching program, we use EFT tapping to uncover and clear the subconscious blocks keeping you stuck in the cycle of overworking, proving yourself, and feeling like you have to earn your success.The program includes weekly Zoom calls and Voxer support between sessions.

A client came to me recently and said something I hear more often than you might expect: "Gene, I've been trying to tap on my own, but this problem just feels too big. I don't know where to start." My answer surprised her. I told her she was right. The problem actually was too big to tap on. But that wasn't a verdict on whether tapping could help. It was a diagnosis of the approach she was using. Tapping for big problems is not about finding the courage to tackle everything at once. It is about knowing which small, specific piece to bring into a single round of tapping. TL;DR / Key Takeaways When a problem feels too big to tap on, the issue is not tapping's effectiveness. The issue is trying to address too much in a single session. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) works best on one specific, concrete target at a time. Large life challenges require a series of focused rounds, not one heroic attempt. Tapping on the emotions about the problem (frustration, worry, disappointment) before targeting the problem itself clears the emotional distortion that makes the issue feel overwhelming. Identifying the smallest possible next action and tapping on resistance to that one step creates forward momentum faster than any other approach. Giving yourself permission to value incremental progress is itself a legitimate tapping target, and often the one that unlocks everything else. Why Big Problems Feel Impossible to Tap On (And the Real Fix) Tapping for big problems feels impossible when you try to hold the entire problem in your mind at once. EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is a technique that involves tapping on specific acupressure points on the face and body while focusing on a precise emotional or physical target. The key word is precise. The more diffuse your focus, the less effective the round. Key insight: "The question is never whether tapping is appropriate for what's in front of you. The question is: how do you bring tapping to a part of the issue in a useful way?" Think about the kinds of problems that feel too big: a serious health diagnosis, a major career transition, building a romantic relationship from a standing start. Each of these is not one problem. Each is a cluster of dozens of smaller problems stacked on top of each other. Trying to tap on "my health situation" is like trying to eat an entire meal in one swallow. The five steps below give you a reliable way to find the right-sized bite for any given session, no matter how large the underlying issue is. Why Tapping for Big Problems Starts With Your Emotions First Before you tap on any aspect of the problem itself, tap on how you feel about the fact that you are facing this problem. This is one of the most overlooked moves in EFT practice, and it changes everything about what comes next. In my Tapping Mastery Blueprint, every single tapping session starts with two questions. First: what is the goal of this round of tapping? Second: how do I feel about the fact that this is the issue at hand? That second question is where most people skip straight past something important. Key insight: "The emotions about the issue are layers of stained glass I'm trying to look through. They distort the issue so I can't see it clearly. Clear those layers first, and the problem comes into focus." When you are dealing with something large, you are almost certainly carrying feelings of worry, frustration, disappointment, and grief about the situation itself. Those emotions are not the same as the problem. They are your emotional response to having the problem. Tapping on them first changes your resource state. It shifts you out of reactivity and into a clearer, calmer place from which you can make better decisions about what to tap on next. Write down every emotion you feel about the fact that you are facing this particular challenge. Then take those emotions one at a time and tap on them before doing anything else. For a deeper look at this concept, the episode on "the emotion about the issue" from the Healing Fundamentals series is worth your time. Step 2: Name a Baby Step and Tap on Your Resistance to It Once you have tapped on the emotions about the issue, shift your attention away from the full problem entirely. Instead, ask yourself: what is the single smallest next action I could take? That step might be genuinely tiny. Write down all the open questions I have. Research this one thing. Send a message to this specific person. It does not need to be significant. It just needs to be real and concrete. Key insight: "I don't know how to handle the big thing, but I almost always know the first step. After I take the first step, the second step becomes obvious. And after the second, the third." Once you have named the baby step, tune in to whatever emotion comes up around taking it. Resistance, dread, uncertainty, fear of getting it wrong. That emotional resistance is your tapping target, not the step itself. When you clear the resistance, taking the step becomes easy. And taking the step creates momentum, which is exactly what large problems require. This approach addresses one of the most common reasons people stay stuck: they cannot see the whole path forward, so they do not move at all. But you do not need to see the whole path. You only need to see the next step. Clearing the emotional resistance to action is one of tapping's most reliable strengths. Step 3: Pick One Small Detail Instead of the Whole Problem If the baby-step approach does not give you a clear entry point, try zooming in on a single detail of the larger issue instead. Not the situation. Not the whole health challenge or the whole relationship pattern. One detail. A few years ago I was dealing with Epstein-Barr virus, which is similar to mononucleosis in its effects. I was completely wiped out. I would feel a flicker of energy and sit up in bed, and my body would immediately shut it down. I had to lie back down. There were dozens of things wrong, physically and emotionally, and I could have tried to tap on all of them at once. Instead, I chose one detail: that specific feeling when the energy appeared and immediately vanished. Just that. The emotion that came up around that one physical experience became my tapping target. Key insight: "By choosing one microscopic detail, I gave myself an entry point. I wasn't trying to solve everything. I was just working on this one thing." Trying to address the entire problem at once produces a familiar spiral: "I'm falling behind, this is lasting forever, nothing I'm doing is working." That is too big a target. One detail breaks the spiral and gives your nervous system something it can actually process. If you find yourself drowning in too many issues to tap on, this single-detail approach is often the fastest way back to solid ground. Step 4: Tap on the Overwhelm of Having a Problem This Big This step might feel redundant at first glance. You have already tapped on the emotions about the issue in Step 1. What is left? The answer is: the overwhelm of the problem's size, which is a separate layer entirely. Tapping for overwhelm means giving voice specifically to the experience of facing something that feels unmanageable. Not what the problem is, but what it is like to be the person carrying it. Typical targets for this step sound like: "This problem is unfair and I am exhausted by it." "I do not even know where to start and that makes me feel paralyzed." "I cannot do this alone." "I am overwhelmed just thinking about all the steps between here and done." This is what I sometimes call tapping on the meta-emotion. It is the feeling about the feeling, or more precisely, the feeling about the situation's complexity. In my experience, the missing key to tapping for overwhelm is almost always this layer: people address the content of what overwhelms them but skip past the raw experience of being overwhelmed itself. Spend a few minutes here. It does not take long, and the relief it produces makes the remaining steps significantly easier. Step 5: Give Yourself Permission to Value Small Daily Progress The final step is one that beginners often dismiss as too soft. It is not. Giving yourself permission to recognize the value of incremental work is a legitimate tapping target, and for many people it is the one that unlocks consistent action. The tapping here is not affirmation work. You are not trying to convince yourself that everything is fine or that you are doing great. You are tapping to release the part of you that insists the only acceptable outcome is solving the whole thing today. A useful setup statement for this step sounds something like: "Even though I've only made a tiny bit of progress today, I give myself permission to recognize that a baby step forward is still a step forward." Notice what comes up when you tap with that frame. You may find frustration: "I give myself permission to value baby steps, AND I give myself permission to be annoyed that it's always a process." Both are valid. Acknowledge the resistance alongside the permission. That is where the real tapping work happens. The myth of the one big tapping breakthrough is worth reading alongside this step. Real transformation is nearly always a series of small shifts, not a single dramatic moment. How to Use All Five Steps in a Single Tapping Session When you are facing a problem that feels too big to tap on, run through the five steps in order. You do not need to spend equal time on each one. Some will feel complete in a single round. Others may need more attention. Here is the sequence as a quick reference: Tap on the emotions about the issue. How do you feel about the fact that you are facing this problem? Worry, frustration, grief, shame, disappointment. Take them one at a time. Name a baby step and tap on your resistance to it. What is the smallest possible next action? What emotion comes up when you think about taking it? Pick one small detail and tap on the emotion around it. Not the whole problem. One aspect, one symptom, one interaction, one specific moment. Tap on the overwhelm of the problem's size. Give voice to how it feels to be carrying something this big. This is separate from the problem's content. Tap for permission to value incremental progress. Release the demand that today's work has to solve everything. A baby step counts. Before you start any session on a large issue, it helps to ask the two questions from my Tapping Mastery Blueprint: what is the goal of this round of tapping, and how do I feel about the fact that this is the issue? Both questions from the one question you must ask before every tapping session apply directly here. The old cliche is true: how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time. And if you take one bite at a time with your tapping practice, you will be surprised how quickly you start to build real momentum on even the largest challenges in your life. If you want structured, daily support for building that momentum, I'd encourage you to explore 365 Tapping Lessons, where I walk you through a full year of focused tapping sessions designed to create exactly this kind of consistent, cumulative progress. Frequently Asked Questions What does it mean when a problem feels too big to tap on? It usually means you are trying to address the entire issue in a single tapping session. EFT works best on one specific, concrete emotional target at a time. A problem that "feels too big" is a signal to narrow your focus, not to stop tapping. Where should I start when I don't know where to start tapping? Start with the emotions you feel about having the problem, not the problem itself. Write down every emotion that comes up when you think about your situation (frustration, worry, grief, shame) and tap on those one at a time before targeting the problem's content. How many rounds of tapping does it take to work through a big problem? There is no fixed number. Large issues typically require many focused sessions over time rather than one long session. The goal of each session is not to solve the problem but to reduce the emotional intensity around one specific aspect of it. Can EFT really help with serious health challenges or major life changes? Yes, though the approach matters enormously. EFT does not resolve health conditions by tapping on "my illness." It works by targeting specific emotions, fears, symptoms, or resistance points one at a time. Over multiple sessions, this produces genuine cumulative relief. What is "the emotion about the issue" in EFT? It is the emotional response you have to having the problem, as distinct from the problem itself. If you have a health issue, the emotions about the issue include fear of the long-term consequences, grief over what you have lost, and frustration at the pace of healing. Tapping on these first clears the distortion that makes the underlying problem harder to see and address. What if I tap on the baby step but feel nothing? Try making the step even smaller, or tune in to the emotion more precisely. "I need to make a doctor's appointment" might produce nothing. "I feel a knot in my stomach when I think about calling the doctor" is a specific, tappable sensation. The more concrete the target, the more tapping tends to produce a clear shift. Is it normal to feel more overwhelmed after starting to tap on a big problem? Yes, and it is often a sign the tapping is working. Bringing a suppressed emotion to the surface before clearing it can briefly intensify the feeling. If it persists, use Step 4 directly: tap specifically on the overwhelm of having a problem this big, rather than on the problem's content.

You can't pour from an empty cup. And this week's guest is here to help you fill it back up — without overhauling your entire life to do it.This week Cara and Bronagh are joined by Kylie Griffiths, former fashion stylist, creative director, accidental DJ and founder of Stress Sucks — a wellness brand built specifically for people with busy lives who don't have time for a 40 minute morning meditation but desperately need something to change. Kylie's journey from styling Little Mix and touring with bands to studying medical herbalism in Cornwall is one of the most brilliantly unexpected stories we've heard on the pod.

What happens in the deepest moments of Stage 2 EFT work? In this special roundtable episode of The Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosts Dr. James Hawkins and Dr. Ryan Rana sit down with three pioneers in EFT process research and training: Dr. Jim Furrow, Dr. Kathryn Rheem, and Dr. Marlene Best. Together, they unpack the heart of Stage 2 change events in EFT: withdrawer re-engagement, pursuer softening, therapeutic presence, fear, longing, attachment risk, and the healing power of vulnerable reach-and-response moments. This conversation is more than theory. It is a masterclass in how therapists help clients move from talking about emotion to speaking from emotion. The group explores how fear and longing work together, why vulnerability requires both courage and safety, and how the therapist's emotional presence becomes the bridge that helps clients risk connection. You'll hear powerful reflections on: Why fear must become experiential in Stage 2 The difference between Stage 1 and Stage 2 emotional work How longing creates movement through fear Why enactments are essential for deep limbic revision The therapist's role in co-regulating attachment risk How healing becomes more powerful than hurt in secure connection This episode is rich with clinical wisdom, emotional depth, and heartfelt reflections from some of the leading voices who helped shape modern EFT. If you're an EFT therapist wanting to deepen your Stage 2 work—or simply someone passionate about emotional connection and healing relationships—this is an episode you will want to revisit again and again. In This Episode The Origins of Stage 2 EFT Research The guests reflect on the early development of EFT process research and how their studies on pursuer softening and withdrawer re-engagement helped therapists better understand the moment-to-moment dynamics of attachment transformation. Fear vs. Speaking From Fear The conversation explores the difference between naming fear cognitively versus helping clients experientially contact fear in the present moment. Longing and Fear Work Together Dr. Marlene Best shares her now-famous insight that longing must move through fear for attachment change to occur. The group discusses how longing creates movement and momentum toward vulnerable reach. Therapeutic Presence as Co-Regulation Dr. Jim Furrow highlights that clients cannot stay emotionally present to fear unless therapists bring their own grounded emotional presence into the room. Stage 1 vs. Stage 2 Emotional Work The panel clarifies the crucial difference between: accessing primary emotion in Stage 1 restructuring attachment through view of self/view of other in Stage 2. Healing Is More Powerful Than Hurt Dr. Kathryn Rheem closes with a moving reflection on how humans are wired both to hurt and to heal—and how vulnerable connection transforms emotional suffering into secure attachment. Key Clinical Takeaways Fear is not the enemy in Stage 2—it is the doorway. Longing creates movement through attachment fear. Therapists must bring their presence before asking clients to bring theirs. Enactments help clients move from insight into embodied relational experience. Stage 2 is about restructuring view of self and view of other. Healing occurs when fear is shared relationally. Withdrawers often access sadness and loss before fear. Pursuer softening requires risk, surrender, and emotional reach. Emotional safety grows through repeated vulnerable experiences. Deep limbic revision requires deep experiential contact. Best Quotes from the Episode “We don't just talk about fear in Stage 2—we speak from fear.” “If you want someone to be present to their fear, you need to bring your presence.” “Longing has to move through the fear.” “The therapist's regulation becomes the emotional scaffolding for the couple.” “Stage 2 is not just emotional access—it's restructuring attachment.” “Fear reshapes our priorities and tells us not to reach when we most need connection.” “The healing becomes more powerful than the hurt.” “The goal isn't to eliminate fear. The goal is to reach while fear is still present.” “Therapists often drive past view of self and view of other instead of slowing down and exploring them.” “We heal when vulnerable experience becomes relationally shared.” “The deeper the longing, the deeper the fear.” “People pull away from love when they're terrified of losing it.” “Healing happens when someone risks reaching and another person responds.” “Fear says ‘don't reach.' Love says ‘try anyway.'” “We all want someone who can help us carry what feels too heavy alone.” “The strongest relationships aren't fear-free—they're responsive in the presence of fear.” “Behind anger and distance is often grief, fear, and longing.” “Secure connection grows when people can finally share what they were afraid to reveal.” “You don't heal by never hurting again. You heal by no longer hurting alone.” “The courage to be emotionally honest changes relationships.” EFT World Summit 2027 We wanted to let you know that the EFT World Summit 2027 is coming to Vancouver — May 9 to 11, 2027 — and we would love to see you there.

The Full Moon in Sagittarius on May 31 is a blue moon, the second full moon of the month, and a closing note on a big chapter. Sagittarius always asks the deeper question. Not just what is happening, but why. Under this full moon, that question turns toward the limiting beliefs that have been quietly running you — the inherited stories about whether your voice matters and whether it's safe to be seen, heard, and understood. In this episode, Leslie is joined by her friend Jackie McDonald of the Wildly Wealthy Woman Podcast. Together they pair the astrology with EFT tapping, a simple somatic practice for moving an old belief out of your body and a new one in. This one is part teaching, part hands-on. Come ready to do the work. What belief is stopping you right now? And what's the belief waiting on the other side of it?

Social Anxiety Solutions - your journey to social confidence!
What if the reason your anxiety keeps coming back isn't because you're thinking the "wrong thoughts"? In this episode, Sebastiaan sits down with psychologist Steve Wells to talk about Intention Tapping, a variation of EFT tapping that has deeply influenced how Seb helps people with social anxiety. They explore why social anxiety often can't be "out-thought," why emotional attachment matters more than thoughts alone, and how tapping may help reduce the nervous system's perception of threat. You'll hear why anxiety can become linked to everyday social situations, why resisting anxiety often makes it stronger, and how Intention Tapping can help release the emotional charge underneath social anxiety symptoms. In this conversation, they cover: • Why logic alone often doesn't stop social anxiety • The difference between CBT and tapping • Why anxiety is not just a thought problem • How emotional attachment keeps anxiety active • Why social anxiety is often a protective response • How tapping can help calm the nervous system • Why small shifts matter more than people think • How tapping can support gentle real-life progress • What to do when tapping "doesn't work" right away • How setbacks can become breakthroughs They also discuss fear of judgment, blushing, physical anxiety symptoms, performance anxiety, upcoming social events, public speaking, podcasting, salsa dancing, and why forcing yourself to face your fears is not always the most effective path. If you've tried changing your thoughts, affirmations, mindset work, or pushing yourself through social situations but still get triggered, this episode will give you a different way to understand social anxiety and what may help it shift.

Tapping for fear and anxiety was my own entry point into EFT almost 20 years ago, when I was struggling with social anxiety. In this post I want to walk you through exactly how I use tapping to right-size fear and anxiety so they stop running the show. The method is simple, it works in the moment, and you can use it the next time worry shows up. TL;DR / Key Takeaways Tapping for fear and anxiety is a process of right-sizing the feeling, not eliminating it, so your alarm system stays accurate instead of overactive. Anxiety is about a threat in the present moment, while fear is about a threat in the future, and naming which one you are facing changes how you approach it. The core method is three rounds of wordless tapping to calm the nervous system, followed by four questions answered out loud while you tap. The four questions are: What could go wrong? What proof do I have? How likely is it? What would I tell a friend? Success means the feeling becomes proportionate to the actual threat, so you can either engage safely with what is in front of you or stay present despite worry about the future. Why Fear and Anxiety Are Not the Enemy Fear and anxiety are not malfunctions; they are your internal guidance system pointing you toward danger so you can stay safe. Every emotion you feel carries specific information about your situation. Frustration signals that a need or desire is not being met. Anger signals that you perceive an attack. Fear and anxiety signal danger. When you understand the information an emotion is carrying, you can respond to it instead of just reacting. That is the whole foundation of using EFT for anxiety effectively. Key insight: "For every single emotion you have, it is your internal guidance system giving you information to navigate the world." The mistake most people make is treating fear and anxiety as enemies to be silenced. They are not. They are messengers. The work is not to fire the messenger but to make sure the message is accurate. What Is the Difference Between Fear and Anxiety? Anxiety is about a threat happening in the present moment, while fear is about a threat located in the future. People often use the words interchangeably, and you do not have to adopt my definitions for the process to work. But making this distinction sharpens how you approach the problem. The reason the distinction matters is that you respond differently to something in your immediate proximity than to something that may happen later. If a threat is right here, you need to handle the thing in front of you. If a threat is in the future, you need to settle yourself so you can stay present now. Key insight: "Anxiety is about the thing that is happening in this particular moment, where fear is about the thing that is in the future." The tapping itself looks identical for both. What changes is the target. Naming whether you are dealing with worry about an uncertain future or a present-moment stressor tells you what you are actually solving for. What Does Success Look Like When Tapping for Anxiety? Success is making the feeling proportionate to the actual threat, not switching it off entirely. Before you tap, it helps to define what a good outcome looks like, because that definition is different for anxiety than it is for fear. When I am anxious, success means the anxiety turns down enough that I can safely engage with the thing in front of me. When I am afraid, success means I turn down the fear of a future event enough to be fully present to what is happening right now. So when I solve the problem of anxiety, I am dealing with the thing I am anxious about. When I solve the problem of fear, I am turning down a future worry so it stops stealing my attention from the present. Defining success this way keeps you honest. You are not chasing a numb, fearless state. You are aiming for a feeling that fits the facts. Why Start With Three Rounds of Wordless Tapping? Start with three rounds of wordless tapping because it downregulates your nervous system and clears your head before you dissect the problem. Wordless tapping simply means moving from each tapping point to the next, tapping six or seven times on each point, without saying anything. Just tapping on the points creates a release and a little bit of calm. That matters because in a moment you are going to start examining the fear and anxiety, and the clearer-headed you are, the easier that examination becomes. The less you are crippled by the feeling, the more successfully you can work with it. Key insight: "The clearer-headed we are as we step into that, the less crippled we are by the fear and the anxiety, the easier it's going to be for us to do that in a really successful way." Do not rush this part. Take nice, easy, deep breaths as you move from point to point. Three slow rounds is enough to settle your system so the four questions land properly. If you want more on this calming-first approach, it pairs well with work on nervous system regulation. The Four Questions to Ask While Tapping for Fear and Anxiety The four questions, answered out loud while you tap, walk you from catastrophizing to a right-sized response. After your three rounds of wordless tapping, you keep moving from point to point and answer each question comprehensively and aloud. By doing this, you are writing the perfect tapping script for the moment in real time. Here are the four questions, in order: What could go wrong? Catastrophize on purpose. Name the worst thing that could happen and narrate it out loud. When I tapped on my social anxiety, mine was that I would say something, someone would think I was stupid, and they would scream at me until I ran and hid. What proof do I have that this could go wrong? Sometimes there is proof, and often there is not. When I examined my social anxiety, I had counter proof: even when I said something silly, people just corrected me or rolled their eyes. This right-sizes the response emotionally. What is the likelihood it will go wrong like this? Something can be possible without being probable. Naming the actual likelihood shrinks the threat down to its true size. What would you tell a friend with this problem? We are very good at giving others advice we cannot hear ourselves. Shifting into that voice unlocks perspective you already have. Key insight: "By answering these four questions, you are writing the perfect tapping script for the moment." Answer all four out loud while tapping and you will be surprised how much safer and more comfortable you feel. This four-question approach is a cousin of the simple in-the-moment methods I teach for recognizing and managing stress quickly. Possibility vs. Probability: Right-Sizing the Threat A threat being possible does not make it probable, and separating the two is what shrinks fear back to a useful size. This is the heart of why the four questions work. Your alarm system tends to treat every possibility as if it were a certainty, and that is what makes fear and anxiety feel so big. Consider my own examples. There is a possibility I could get stuck between two subway stations in New York, but in almost 15 years of living here it has only happened three times. I could be afraid of flying, yet I performed full-time for 25 years and flew millions of miles across the U.S. and Canada without a single incident. Possible, but not probable. Right-sizing does not mean removing the safety mechanism. I have no realistic fear of being attacked by a lion in my Brooklyn neighborhood, even with zoos in Central Park and the Bronx nearby. Tapping that fear down does not mean I will climb into the lion enclosure for a cuddle. It means I can walk my neighborhood, and even visit the zoo, knowing I am safe, while still respecting the fence. We keep the protective function and discard the distortion. How to Get Started Tapping for Fear and Anxiety Today To start tapping for fear and anxiety, identify whether your feeling is about the present or the future, then run three rounds of wordless tapping followed by the four questions. The whole process can take just a few minutes and requires nothing but your hands and a little honesty. Here is the sequence in full: Notice the feeling and name whether it is anxiety (present) or fear (future). Tap three slow, wordless rounds, six or seven taps per point, breathing deeply. Answer out loud while tapping: What could go wrong? Answer out loud: What proof do I have it will go wrong? Answer out loud: How likely is it to go wrong like this? Answer out loud: What would I tell a friend facing this? The aim is always proportion, not numbness. You are not eliminating fear and anxiety; you are making them well-informed so they protect you without paralyzing you. If you want to keep building this skill day by day, my 365 Tapping Lessons program gives you a short, guided tapping practice for every day of the year. Frequently Asked Questions What is the difference between fear and anxiety in tapping? In this approach, anxiety is about a threat in the present moment and fear is about a threat in the future. The tapping looks the same, but naming which one you face tells you whether you are working to engage safely now or to stay present despite future worry. Does tapping work for anxiety? Tapping helps turn anxiety down to a proportionate level so you can safely engage with whatever is in front of you. In my experience over nearly 20 years, the goal is not to erase anxiety but to make it accurate, so it informs you without overwhelming you. What are the four questions to ask when tapping for fear? The four questions, answered out loud while tapping, are: What could go wrong? What proof do I have that it could go wrong? How likely is it to go wrong like this? What would I tell a friend with this problem? What is wordless tapping and why do it first? Wordless tapping means moving from point to point, tapping six or seven times on each, without speaking. Doing three rounds first downregulates your nervous system and clears your head, which makes the four-question process far more effective. How do I stop catastrophizing about the future? Catastrophize on purpose first by naming the worst case out loud, then ask what proof you actually have and how likely it really is. Separating what is possible from what is probable shrinks the imagined threat back to its true size. Is the goal of tapping to get rid of fear completely? No. The goal is to make fear proportionate and well-informed, not to eliminate it. Fear is a safety mechanism, so the work is keeping its protective function while discarding the distortion that makes it disproportionate. Can I use this tapping process for any worry? Yes. The same three rounds of wordless tapping and the same four questions work whether the worry is about a present situation or a future event. You simply aim the process at the specific thing you are anxious or afraid about.
Brad Yates leads an EFT tapping round focused on self-righteousness and the emotional charge that often comes with it. Tapping can help reduce rigidity and create more inner and relational ease.
In this powerful EFT training discussion, We Heart Therapy host (Anabelle Bugatti) Dr. Belle, PhD, LMFT/EFT Supervisor/Therapist sits down with Emotionally Focused Therapy trainer Dr. Ting Liu and explores how therapists can effectively work with ambivalence in couples therapy and attachment-based healing.

In this conversation, Dr. Ting Liu shares clinical insight into: • Working with emotional ambivalence in EFT • Helping couples navigate uncertainty and emotional disconnection • EFT interventions for pursuer-withdrawer dynamics • Clinical applications of Emotionally Focused Therapy with Ambivalence Whether you are an EFT therapist, LMFT, psychologist, counseling student, or simply interested in attachment science and relationship healing, this video offers valuable insights into the EFT process and how to work with complex relational dynamics.
Most people still believe that when stress hits, you should just “think positive” and push through—but your biology doesn't work that way. When your brain's alarm system gets triggered, your rational thinking literally goes offline. In this episode, we're breaking down a powerful, science-backed way to work with your nervous system—not against it—to reduce stress, lower cortisol, and regain control of your mind and body. Our guest, Jessica Ortner, is a New York Times bestselling author and co-founder of The Tapping Solution, a global movement that's helped millions of people reduce anxiety and trauma using Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT). Her work is backed by hundreds of peer-reviewed studies and is now being researched at institutions like Yale, Harvard, and Columbia. Jessica brings both personal experience and cutting-edge science to help us understand how to truly rewire our stress response. In this conversation, you're going to discover how tapping can reduce cortisol levels by up to 43%, help resolve PTSD symptoms, and transform the way your brain responds to stress triggers. We're diving into the neuroscience behind anxiety, how your body stores trauma, and why you can't think your way out of stress—but you can retrain your nervous system. Plus, you'll learn a simple, practical technique you can use anytime to create calm on demand.
