If you've got something coming up that feels insurmountable, then today on The Daily Pep! I'm sharing a story from my own life that I think might help.

Hello Beautiful Soul!In this episode, I share the 'January 2026 Energy Update!'Some of the messages that came through…Start gentle. Our nervous systems aren't ready to go all-in right out of the gate. January is calling us into deep devotion to self-care, staying connected to spirit and our 'why'… moving from connection vs force. Gentle, purposeful forward movement is the energy of the month.The Purple Butterfly. A powerful symbol came through for 2026… a majestic purple butterfly representing our spiritual power. We're being invited to spread our wings, knowing who we really are, standing in our power and truth. You might find that purple butterflies appear as signs throughout the year, reminding us to move from that centered place of deep inner knowing.Meridian Work. Support your physical body and energy flow through practices like qi gong, EFT tapping, tai chi, or acupuncture. Balancing your meridians will help you stay centered in your power this month.Other People's Judgments. January invites us to examine how we relate to others' opinions. Do we immediately doubt ourselves or get defensive? This is the time for healing work around maintaining our self-connection and truth, no matter what judgments come our way. It will anchor us into our truth for the rest of 2026.Own Your Power. Know your worth, value what you've built, and trust your own knowledge. January is about strengthening our foundation so we're prepared for everything 2026 will bring.May this support you in moving into 2026 with Grace and Groundedness!Xo BonnieInstagram: @yourquantumlife | @bonniempiesse Youtube: @yourquantumlifewithbonnie

Join Jay Gunkelman, QEEGD (the man who has analyzed over 500,000 brain scans), Dr. Mari Swingle, Joshua Moore, John Mekrut, Anthony Ramos, and host Pete Jansons for a packed discussion on cutting-edge trauma approaches, avoiding neurofeedback pitfalls, and how to pick qualified practitioners.✅ Deep Brain Reorienting Explained: A new somatic approach pioneered by Dr. Frank Corrigan targets brainstem-level early childhood attachment trauma via visual orientation and superior colliculus, going deeper than EMDR or exposure therapy—exciting experts like Sebern Fisher for developmental trauma recovery.✅ Neuroinflammation Deep Dive: Inflammation causes brain ischemia and hypoxia; overtraining inflamed brains risks headaches, nausea, tics, or even cell death—clinicians stress gentle starts, short sessions, monitoring symptoms, and addressing diet/nutrition first.✅ Choosing Pros Insights: Beware cheap equipment and unqualified practitioners; seek BCIA-certified or licensed pros with medical-grade gear—experience, mentorship, and clear "what & why" explanations matter more than pretty images.✅ Additional Topics:

Welcome back to Bri Books!This episode of Bri Books is about locking in. Not chasing. Not manifesting yet. Not reinventing your entire life. We talk a lot about goals, but rarely about how to choose direction before movement. Lock-in means deciding where you're headed before you start rowing. If you listened to the Winter Reset episode, this is the natural next step. Softness created space. Now we decide what fills it. If you're new to the show, leave a review of Bri Books on Apple Podcasts, and listen to Bri Books on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Please tell me where you're traveling to by using #bribooks on Instagram and subscribe to the Bri Books newsletter at bribookspod.com/newsletter.  This framework is designed to help you set goals that can be assessed and revised, not failed. If you're listening along, pause here if you need to. This episode works best with a notebook. Step 1: Choose Your Goal Areas Start by writing down three to five areas of your life that matter most right now. Not ten, not everything, just. few.  These are containers, not goals. Examples might include career, creative work, health, money, relationships, home, or learning. Write your own list. These areas simply hold your attention--they don't demand outcomes (yet).  Step 2: Understand Rudders and Oars This entire framework rests on two ideas: Rudders determine direction. Oars create movement. A rudder is not a task or a dream. A rudder answers: What direction am I steering this part of my life in? An oar answers: What am I actually doing, regularly, to move? You need both. Without a rudder, you row in circles.Without oars, you drift. Step 3: Set Your Rudders (Directional Language) For each life area, write one sentence that defines direction. Rudders are written in the present tense. They're directional, not outcome-based, and free from numbers, pressure, or deadlines. They describe orientation, not achievement. Examples of structure: "I am steering my career toward work that values ___." "I am orienting my health around consistency, not intensity." "I am prioritizing creative output over perfection." Now write yours. Leave space—you'll revisit them. Step 4: Define Your Oars (Action Language) For each rudder, choose one to three oars only. Good oars are repeatable, realistic, and observable They sound like "I write for 60 minutes, three times a week", or "I review finances every Sunday", or "I submit one pitch per month." They do not sound like "Be disciplined," "Try harder", or "finally get it together." Your oars should be specific enough that you can tell whether you did them—without judgment. Step 5: Lock-In Means Review, Not Perfection Lock-in doesn't mean committing forever. It means: you write it down, you work it, you assess it, and you revise it quarterly. If something isn't working, that's not failure—it's information. We'll go deeper into the review process in the Year-in-Review episode. What Comes Next  Once direction and movement are defined, the next step is learning how to work with desire and intention without forcing outcomes.That's where we're headed next: manifestation journaling—slow, grounded, and pressure-free.

Send us a textWhy do we start doubting ourselves spiritually the moment life gets hard?So many people on a spiritual path are told that alignment should feel peaceful, flowing, and easy. But when pain, loss, confusion, or uncertainty shows up, it often leads to one quiet question: “Am I doing this wrong?”In this episode, we get real about why spiritual doubt happens during hard seasons — and why struggle is not a sign of failure, disconnection, or misalignment. We talk about the difference between initiation vs punishment, why real growth requires dismantling old identities, and how healing often stirs things up instead of smoothing them over.This is a grounded, honest conversation about spirituality beyond aesthetics and platitudes — one that makes space for grief, confusion, faith, intuition, and the human experience.If you've ever questioned your intuition, your faith, or your connection to God or Spirit because life didn't turn out the way you expected, this episode is for you.✨ In this episode, we explore:Why spirituality is often marketed as peace, flow, and easeHow pain can feel like evidence we failedWhy we internalize blame instead of asking better questionsInitiations vs punishments on a spiritual pathWhy alignment doesn't always feel peacefulHow to stay connected to yourself during uncertaintyYou're not broken. You're not behind. And you're not doing it wrong.THE RECLAIM INTENSIVE (3 month Coaching)https://isabelhealing.com/the-reclaim-intensive/Support the showContact For Real Talk with IsabelEmail: isabelmindbodysoul@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/franke.isabel/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@isabel.franke?is_from_webapp=1&sender_device=pcWebsite: https://isabelhealing.com

The start of a new year often comes with pressure to fix everything at once—set bigger goals, do more, become someone new. For many entrepreneurs, that pressure doesn't create motivation; it creates shutdown. Especially when you're already carrying mental load, emotional fatigue, or burnout, productivity advice rooted in force and discipline can feel deeply unsupportive.In this episode, Aimee offers a gentler approach to productivity - one rooted in clarity, capacity, and nervous-system safety. She shares a simple but powerful principle for reducing mental overwhelm by getting out of your head and into a system that actually supports you. This isn't about planning your entire year or forcing consistency—it's about creating enough internal space to breathe, think clearly, and take the next grounded step.This conversation is for heart-centered entrepreneurs who feel behind before they even begin, who know what to do but feel too overwhelmed to follow through. You'll walk away with a calmer perspective on productivity, a practical way to release mental pressure, and permission to approach the new year (or any season) without urgency, shame, or self-fixing.Money Mindset Playbook: https://aimeecerka.com/mindset For the full transcript and all links mentioned, see the blog post: https://aimeecerka.com/238 Ready To Take Action: https://aimeecerka.com/podcastlinks

In this episode, Colter, Lauren, and Cayla explore why we latch onto birthdays and the New Year as chances to “start fresh,” and why traditional resolutions so often fall flat. They share personal stories about resolutions that worked and didn't, and offer a more flexible approach rooted in values, season-of-life awareness, and gentle recalibration instead of all-or-nothing goals. You'll hear practical ideas for setting individual and shared relationship intentions—like choosing a word for the year, doing a values audit, and imagining the “photo slideshow” you want to look back on next December.

Does your teen wake up in the middle of the night overwhelmed with worries they can't shut off? Have you noticed that everything feels so much bigger for teens at 2:00 AM than it does in the light of day? There's been a surge in what experts are calling the “2 AM Spiral”—a late-night loop of overthinking fueled by screen time, academic pressure, social stress, and the natural sleep-cycle shift that happens during adolescence. In this episode, Colleen talks with therapist Kevin Logie about what's really happening in teens' brains during these late-night spirals, why sleep deprivation intensifies anxiety, depression, and irritability, and how parents can respond with more curiosity and less control. You'll learn why this isn't “teen drama,” how phones and lack of downtime play a major role, and practical, compassionate strategies to help teens regulate, reset, and sleep better—without turning bedtime into a nightly battle. Kevin Logie is an associate therapist who brings creativity, warmth, and flexibility to his work with children, tweens, teens, and families. With a background in the arts and improv, Kevin blends narrative and person-centered therapy with evidence-based tools such as CBT, EMDR, ABA, and mindfulness practices. He specializes in helping clients rewrite unhealthy narratives, build emotional awareness, and develop resilience. Kevin is also a dad to a 12-year-old son, bringing both professional insight and lived experience into his work.

As the Year Ends, Dr. Erin Ellis, Naturopathic Doctor and founder of Hope Natural Health, returns to the Hope Natural Health Podcast after a brief hiatus. In this reflective episode, Dr. Ellis discusses the importance of honoring pauses in our lives, particularly as the year comes to a close. She challenges the conventional notions of consistency and momentum, highlighting the body's need for rest and introspection. Through her work with women, she has observed cycles of action and listening that mirror natural rhythms. Dr. Ellis encourages listeners to approach reflections with curiosity rather than judgment, emphasizing that healing is a journey of self-awareness and attunement to the body's needs. As the new year approaches, she advocates for realigning with oneself rather than forcing change. The episode closes with a message of grace, self-care, and the promise of more educational content and conversations in the future. 00:00 Welcome to the Hope Natural Health Podcast 00:33 Reflecting on the Pause 01:00 Understanding Your Body's Signals 01:50 Inviting Reflection and Curiosity 02:48 Realigning with Yourself in the New Year 03:52 Closing the Year with Grace 04:13 Thank You and Stay Connected 04:29 Stay Tuned and Stay Hopeful   For more on Dr. Erin: Work with Dr. Erin here: https://p.bttr.to/3E88ps4 Buy Dr. Erin's Supplements here: https://drerinellis.com/shop Get the Period Productivity Planner here:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BBYBRT5Q?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Download the FREE Menstrual Cycle Nutrition Guide here: https://detox.drerinellis.com/ Watch The Free Video "7 Hormones Affecting Your Weight Loss Goals" here: https://weightloss.drerinellis.com/ Let's Be Friends: Follow Dr. Erin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.erinellis/ Follow Dr. Erin on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/drerinellisnmd Follow Dr. Erin on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.erinellis?lang=en Join the Free Hope Circle Community: https://hormonehealingproject.drerinellis.com/communities/groups/the-hope-circle/home?invite=69120d498b7e3f60397656b8  Bookmark Dr. Erin's Website: https://drerinellis.com/ Subscribe to Hope Natural Health on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UChHYVmNEu5tKu91EATHhEiA Follow Hope Natural Health on FB: https://www.facebook.com/hopenaturalhealth Sign up for Newsletters here:  https://link.apisystem.tech/widget/form/VUubL7MNYELduwQL8ssI  

Today I sit down with Kyle Kittleson, the on-camera host for MedCircle, known for making complex mental health topics accessible through thoughtful, compassionate conversations. Kyle opens up about his personal grief journey after losing his mother as a teenager and how unprocessed loss shaped his emotional world for years. Drawing from both lived experience and thousands of interviews with leading mental health experts, Kyle shares powerful insights on grief, trauma, emotional healing, and rebuilding life after loss. We talk about why there's no "right" way to grieve, how avoidance quietly impacts healing, and what it truly means to work with grief rather than against it. This conversation offers grounded wisdom, hope, and practical tools for anyone navigating bereavement, supporting a loved one, or seeking a deeper understanding of mental health and grief.
