Cece lives and works in the city of Chicago. Richard Schwartz, PhD., began his career as a systemic family therapist and an academic. Grounded in systems thinking, Dr. Schwartz developed Internal Family Systems (IFS) in response to clients' descriptions of various parts within themselves. He focused on the relationships among these parts and noticed that there were systemic patterns to the way they were organized across clients. He also found that when the clients' parts felt safe and were allowed to relax, the clients would experience spontaneously the qualities of confidence, openness, and compassion that Dr. Schwartz came to call the Self. He found that when in that state of Self, clients would know how to heal their parts. A featured speaker for national professional organizations, Dr. Schwartz has published many books and over fifty articles about IFS.

In this powerful episode, Melissa Deally (co-creator of Amplify Impact Academy) joins host Avik Chakraborty to reveal how Timeline Therapy allows deep emotional healing without ever talking through traumatic stories. Melissa explains the unconscious mind, the 4 bodies & 3 minds model, why talk therapy can accidentally re-traumatize, and how to dissolve lifelong anger, sadness, fear, guilt, and limiting beliefs in just one or two sessions. A game-changing conversation for anyone tired of feeling stuck in old emotional loops. Key Takeaways: The unconscious mind (90% of your mind) stores every memory and emotion but does NOT require you to retell the story to release it — Timeline Therapy works directly with the unconscious to clear entire “gestalts” of emotion at the root. Re-talking trauma fires the nervous system again and again because the unconscious mind cannot distinguish between imagination from reality — this is why traditional talk therapy often keeps people stuck. All negative emotions are stored in “pearl-necklace” gestalts — release the root event (the first pearl) and the entire string collapses, freeing you from decades of anger, sadness, fear, hurt, guilt, rage, and shame. We have 4 bodies (Spiritual, Mental, Emotional, Physical) and 3 minds (Superconscious/Higher Self, Conscious, Unconscious). True healing and longevity require alignment across all four bodies, not just the physical. Acute anxiety is a signal you're imagining the wrong future going wrong — use Timeline Therapy to float above your timeline, experience the event going perfectly, and the anxiety vanishes instantly. Move from Victim Island to Solution City by asking: “How is this happening FOR me?” instead of “Why is this happening to me?” — this single question shifts responsibility and opens the door to growth. You do NOT need to control or suppress emotions — you need the right tool to let them process and release naturally. One 2-hour Timeline Therapy session can create more peace and mental quiet than years of traditional therapy.

Send us a textHost Andrea Atherton is joined by Danielle Young, founder of Inspired Action Wellness, whose lived experience and professional expertise illuminate the healing journey from trauma and domestic violence to emotional sovereignty and self-respect. Nicole's transformation began with one brave decision: to finally trust the voice inside that whispered she deserved more. Her healing journey, marked by nervous system recovery, deep self-reflection, and rebuilding her sense of self, opened her heart to guiding other women out of the shadows of their own relational pain. Together, their stories remind us that breaking free is not a single moment, but a series of courageous steps toward self-honoring truth.This episode invites listeners into an exploration of toxic relationships, not only the intimate partnerships that leave women depleted, but also the societal conditioning that teaches them to overextend, overgive, and overwrite their own needs to be “good” partners. From a young age, women receive messages that their worth is tied to caretaking, emotional labor, and the quiet management of relationship harmony. These roles create exhaustion, self-abandonment, and the painful belief that suffering is simply part of love. In this conversation, we expose these pressures with compassion, offering clarity and encouragement to those ready to step out of old expectations and reclaim their inherent worth.Throughout this episode, Andrea and Danielle explore how cultural narratives, family patterns, and relational trauma intersect to shape how women show up in love, often at their own expense. They dismantle the myth that endurance is admirable and instead elevate the importance of self-trust, boundaries, and emotional safety. Listeners will leave with a sense of validation, renewed strength, and the understanding that healing is not only possible but transformative. This conversation invites every woman who has ever felt drained, silenced, or unseen to reclaim her voice, her boundaries, and the freedom to create relationships that honor who she truly is.30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

A lot of women in midlife are walking around feeling like they're broken. You've done the labs, seen the specialists, tried the supplements… and you're still exhausted, inflamed, and wondering if this is just your new normal. My guest today says absolutely not.Dr. Karyn Shanks is a physician, author, and pioneer in whole-person healing whose work sits at the intersection of cutting-edge science, trauma-informed care, and what she calls “soulful personal agency.” For over three decades, she's helped thousands of patients recover from chronic illness, burnout, and emotional disconnection—not by chasing symptoms, but by teaching them to listen to the intelligent messages their bodies are sending. Her new book, Unbroken: Reclaim Your Wholeness, challenges the old medical model that fragments us (mind over here, body over there) and reframes illness as a call to reconnect with ourselves rather than proof that something is wrong with us.In this conversation, we dig into what it really means to heal from the inside out—especially in midlife, when chronic stress, caregiving, perfectionism, and old narratives can keep us stuck in survival mode. Dr. Shanks breaks down the science of epigenetics and neuroplasticity in simple, hopeful language, shows how trauma and limiting stories shape our biology, and shares practical “micro-practices” anyone can use to begin moving toward wholeness today.We cover:Why “you are not broken” is more than a comforting phrase—it's biologyHow epigenetics and neuroplasticity give us real power to change our health storyThe hidden ways trauma and productivity culture keep midlife women sick and depletedSimple daily practices to check in with yourself, build intuition, and create safety in your own bodyHow to start advocating for yourself when you've felt dismissed or unheard in the medical systemIf you've ever felt unseen by your providers, stuck in a diagnosis, or disconnected from your own body, this episode will give you both a new lens—and a starting place—for true healing.You can find Dr. Karyn Shanks at https://www.karynshanksmd.com/Instagram https://www.instagram.com/karynshanksmd/Her book, Unbroken: Reclaim Your Wholeness, is now available wherever books are sold._________________________________________1:1 health and nutrition coaching or Faster Way - Reach me anytime at mailto:mfolanfasterway@gmail.com If you're doing “all the right things” and still feel stuck, it may be time to look deeper.

In the first episode of this series, Lisa shares her journey from skepticism to a deep spiritual awakening that transformed every part of her life. Rooted in childhood trauma and years of using food for comfort, Lisa's story unfolds into one of healing, discipline, and self-trust; culminating in a five-hour morning ritual fueled not by obligation, but genuine inspiration. She bridges science and spirituality to explore what it means to be “a spiritual being made of energy,” weaving in lessons from meditation retreats, loss, and her evolution as a coach. Topics Include:Spiritual Transformation and HealingTrauma, Loss, and Emotional CopingIntegration of Masculine and Feminine Energy Practical Pathways to Transformation[0:32] Lisa introduces this new episode as the first installment of a multi-part series. She explains that the topic grew too large for a single episode, leading to a series that could extend to four, five, six, or more parts. [04:29] Lisa describes her current state as "phenomenal," attributing it to a new, extensive morning routine and a profound spiritual awakening. This transformation was not sudden but the culmination of a lifelong journey of healing and personal development, which began with her birth in 1993. Lisa discusses significant personal traumas like how the death of her younger sister when she was five caused her to disconnect from spirituality, which was a deeper layer to her using food to cope. Lisa's spiritual awakening began in 2016 during a guided meditation where she connected with her "higher self" and had a profound realization that her past struggles with weight were a form of self-protection. Lisa talks about how father's death in 2018 and receiving a message from him through Caroline Lee Dewey accelerated her spiritual development, marking a clear "before and after" in her life. [33:54] Lisa discusses how her move from New York to California helped her to begin the balance of her masculine and feminine energies and become more spiritual. Lisa explains how her journey to become a yoga instructor helped on this journey to connect the two and how this journey has helped her in her move back to New York where she learned through her ancestry work is part of her heritage.[1:01:39] Lisa talks about how her epic morning ritual can last up to six hours. A cornerstone of this routine is meditation, which she describes as a non-negotiable practice for rewiring the brain. Lisa acknowledges that the initial experience can be extremely uncomfortable and emphasizes that consistent practice transformed it into a deeply grounding and essential experience. Lisa describes that the transformation went from intolerable to a cherished practice after months of daily effort. She advises that integrating such practices into a busy life is possible through intentional time management, such as waking up earlier and reducing time on distractions, starting with small, manageable steps. *The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠Embracing Our Spiritual Journey: Insights on Morning Rituals and Self-Discovery

  Welcome back, Career Unicorns! This week, we are honored to host the incredible Dr. Grace Poon Ghaffari: a motherscholar practitioner, proud daughter of Chinese immigrants, and embodied healer. Grace is an Assistant Professor at San Jose State University, where she focuses on healing and harm among student survivors of sexual and relationship violence, examining how these experiences are intertwined with broader systems of oppression. In this deep and vital conversation, we discuss why the traditional justice system often fails to be a source of healing, the critical importance of naming violence as it truly is (especially anti-Asian women hate), and how to move toward decolonizing our own healing experiences. Grace shares her wisdom on tuning into ancestral knowledge, recognizing the validity of traditional wisdom, and finding sustainable ways to resist the exhausting cycles of systemic harm and microaggressions. Key Takeaways:  The Healing Gap: Why victims often don't find the justice system to be a source of healing, and the importance of acknowledging harm. Revictimization: The harmful experience of unhelpful police and the dismissal of non-stereotypical victims of violence. The Fight To Name Harm: Connecting the Atlanta spa shootings, anti-Asian women hate, and the necessity of uplifting marginalized narratives that are often wildly dismissed  Internalized Dismissal: How Asian women's experiences of violence are often minimized ("that just happens to Asian women"), and the role of purity culture in the Asian cultural context. Decolonizing Healing: Recognizing the positives of Western medicine alongside the profound knowledge and wisdom of our ancestors, and how our relationship to the body and land are part of the healing ecosystem. Ancestors As Researchers: Tuning into your own lineage and recognizing that your parents and community have been doing research all along, even if it wasn't recognized by traditional science. The Tiring Nature of Resistance: The layers of trauma, microaggressions, and the importance of finding ways to be sustainable and be in the resistance for the long haul.

In this episode, I sit down with the brilliant Irene Lyon, MSc, an internationally respected nervous system expert whose work has helped nearly 25,000 people in more than 90 countries transform trauma at its roots. If you've ever wondered why certain patterns, pains, or emotional states seem to follow you through life no matter what you try, this conversation is going to hit home.Irene breaks down the real science of trauma and somatic healing in a way that's refreshingly practical and deeply human. We explore the difference between what happens to us and what gets stored in us, and why the nervous system (not the mind) is the true home of unresolved stress. She shares how seemingly small experiences, from childhood injuries to subtle misattunements with caregivers, shape our lifelong patterns of safety, connection, resilience, and self-expression.We go deep into the subtle early-life imprints that create functional freeze, chronic pain, autoimmune tendencies, and emotional overwhelm, including why traditional talk therapy, meditation, or even spiritual practices often miss the foundational biology that must be restored first. Irene also opens up about her own journey from adrenaline-fueled athlete to somatic practitioner, and the radical personal healing that unfolded as she trained with pioneers like Dr. Moshé Feldenkrais, Peter Levine, and Kathy Kain.If you've been searching for a grounded, science-backed pathway to healing that honors both your biology and your soul, this episode is a powerful roadmap. Irene's wisdom is equal parts compassionate, embodied, and transformative—you won't see your nervous system the same way again.

In this episode of Empowered Through Compassion, I sit down with psychologist Dr. Tori Olds to explore the simple and profound act of slowing down. Tori is known for her clarity, depth, and ability to translate complex emotional processes into something the body can feel. Our conversation centers on what becomes possible when we pause long enough to listen to the quiet truths living inside us. Together we explore Coherence Therapy and the idea that symptoms are not random. They are expressions of implicit emotional learning. These learnings often formed early in life, outside of conscious awareness, and continue to shape how we protect ourselves. Coherence Therapy gives us a way to bring these emotional truths into the light, making the implicit explicit. When people can see the juxtapositions or mismatches between what they consciously believe and what their inner emotional world holds as true, real transformation becomes possible. Tori and I also talk about the elegance in the language and pacing of Internal Family Systems. Both of us have found that integration of models invites a more complete picture to understand how our inner systems are structured, and how we can heal trauma.  If you have ever felt stuck in the same emotional patterns, or sensed that something deeper is guiding your reactions, this conversation offers insight into what is going on in your mind and how it connects to your emotional history. This episode is an invitation to turn toward all of it with compassion.   #EmpoweredThroughCompassion #IFS #InternalFamilySystems #CoherenceTherapy #TraumaHealing #SomaticTherapy #EmotionalLearning #PartsWork #SelfLeadership #MindBodyConnection #TherapistLife #HealingJourney #ToriOlds #PodcastEpisode #NeuroscienceAndTrauma #PresentMomentHealing

Send us a textEver wish you could quiet the story in your head without having to relive it? We sit down with Marine veteran and defense-tech CEO Tony Crescenzo to explore a practical, science-backed way to downshift the nervous system using neuroacoustic entrainment. Tony opens up about the years he spent running hot—rage, hypervigilance, and fractured sleep—and how a targeted audio protocol shifted his sleep from barely restorative to deeply replenishing. The conversation gets real about why so many first responders and veterans avoid talk therapy, and how culturally aware approaches can make all the difference.We break down the sleep architecture behind feeling human again. Slow wave sleep restores the body; REM sleep stabilizes emotion and consolidates memory. Tony shares research showing meaningful gains in both, along with a 9% boost in threat recognition—vital for police, fire, EMS, dispatchers, and military communities where seconds matter. You'll hear how suppressing the prefrontal “rumination engine” while opening the anterior cingulate, parietal, and occipital regions enables somatic processing: the body digests stress so the mind can stand down.Then we zoom out to cognitive resilience—the brain's ability to adapt quickly under pressure. Using EEG-guided and AI-personalized protocols, entrainment builds coherence front-to-back and left-to-right, easing brain fog and improving metabolic efficiency. The result is a steadier baseline, faster recovery after spikes, and sleep that actually repairs. If you've been stuck between white-knuckle coping and sterile clinical answers, this is a credible path you can start at home, including free app tracks for power naps, rumination relief, and sleep support.How to reach Jonathan: 1) https://www.IntelligentWaves.com 2) https://www.PeakNeuro.com3) https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonycrescenzo/Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

The salient point of this podcast episode centers on the exploration of healing from trauma and the dynamics of codependency, as articulated by Dr. Nima Rahmani, a chiropractor turned expert in relational healing. In our dialogue, we delve into the intricate relationship between unresolved trauma and the manifestations of emotional distress in adult relationships. Dr. Rahmani elucidates how our childhood experiences shape our attachment styles, influencing our interactions with partners and perpetuating cycles of anxiety and avoidance. He advocates for a transformative approach to understanding and mitigating these patterns, emphasizing that true healing involves becoming aware of and addressing the underlying triggers that govern our emotional responses. As we engage in this insightful conversation, we aim to equip our listeners with the knowledge and tools necessary to foster healthier, more secure relationships..Links referenced in this episode:codependentme.orgcodependentmeutlook.com

In this Super Human Life masterclass, Coach Frank Rich brings you a powerful compilation from three of our most impactful conversations with Annie Yatch — trauma expert, entrepreneur, and founder of NorthStar Leadership.   Across these deep and revealing clips, Annie breaks down how unresolved trauma shapes who we love, how we lead, and the life we build. She unpacks the hidden ways our childhood stories, nervous system, and subconscious beliefs are running the show — influencing our relationships, businesses, and even our sense of purpose.   Whether you're a high-performing man, an entrepreneur, or a husband trying to lead with strength and compassion, this masterclass will show you how to recognize the role trauma plays in your patterns — and how to turn that pain into power.   Annie's frameworks bridge trauma healing, nervous-system regulation, and masculine/feminine polarity, offering practical tools for staying calm in conflict, leading your relationships from grounded strength, and finally finding freedom from the chaos that once defined you.   If you've ever felt stuck in the same emotional cycles, struggled to stay present with your partner, or wondered why success still doesn't feel fulfilling — this episode will help you connect the dots between your inner story and your external world.   Expect To Learn The hidden role of trauma in attraction: why we're subconsciously drawn to partners who mirror our childhood wounds.   How trauma distorts polarity: what happens when feminine energy leans into masculine control, and how to restore balance and safety in love.   Reading relationship dynamics: signs your wife or girlfriend is operating too much from her masculine — and what to do about it.   How to stay calm and neutral in conflict: the mindset and nervous-system tools to respond instead of react.   Integrating your masculine and feminine sides: how real strength comes from emotional awareness and internal balance.   Why entrepreneurs are addicted to chaos: understanding trauma-driven success and the addiction to adrenaline, crisis, and control.   The story that runs your life: how your subconscious childhood narrative shapes your relationships, business, and reality.   Why men struggle with vulnerability: the link between safety, emotional connection, and masculine openness.   Healing for young men: how men in their 20s can start connecting heart and mind to break generational cycles.   Annie's personal story: her journey from trauma to transformation and how it shaped her work in leadership and coaching.   How trauma becomes calling: turning pain into purpose by rewriting the story that once held you captive.   Victimhood vs. ownership: how unhealed trauma breeds a victim mindset — and how to break free.   Trauma, the subconscious, and your nervous system: why your body remembers what your mind tries to forget.   Gut health and trauma: how your microbiome affects mood, emotional regulation, and healing.   Finding your calling in life: connecting your greatest pain to your God-given purpose.   Love & leadership in partnership: how to build a business with your spouse without losing intimacy or polarity.   The biggest lies we tell ourselves about relationships — and how truth sets us free.   Guest Bio — Annie Yatch   Annie Yatch is a trauma-informed performance coach, speaker, and founder of NorthStar Leadership School, where she helps entrepreneurs and high-performing leaders heal the unconscious trauma that limits their relationships, leadership, and success.

A Spiral Into Darkness, Horses for Healing Trauma: Former Police Officer Speaks. The trauma of that moment compounded years of emotional strain from both law enforcement and military service. His marriage began to crumble, and the burden of grief became unbearable. “I didn't know how to cope,” he admitted. “I started self-medicating with alcohol and other destructive behaviors. It felt like there was no way out.” As the darkness grew, suicidal thoughts began to take hold. One day, he reached the breaking point and attempted to end his life. “The only reason I'm still here is because my handgun jammed,” he said. “That failure turned out to be the reason I got a second chance.” Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. Finding Hope Through Horses That second chance came through an unexpected source, horses. Introduced to equine care by a new girlfriend, he discovered that working with horses provided a peace he hadn't felt in years. “At first, I didn't understand it,” he said. “But horses don't judge. They sense your emotions. When I was angry, they pulled away. When I was calm, they came closer. They made me face what I was running from.” Through consistent work with horses, he began to rebuild trust, patience, and emotional control. “The horses taught me to breathe again,” he said. “They helped me find purpose.” Today, he shares his message through the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, helping others in law enforcement and the military confront PTSD and seek healing.

Yuval Neria and Prudence Fisher of Columbia University's "Man O' War Project" found that equine therapy can significantly reduce PTSD and depression symptoms in veterans. Dr. Neria explains, “Both PTSD patients and horses are preoccupied with ongoing concerns about trust and safety. This innovative therapy facilitates bonding, overcoming fear, and re-establishing confidence. One must build trust with a horse for it to warm to you.” A separate study cited by "Psychiatrist.com" showed remarkable results in veterans who participated in an eight-session Equine-Assisted Therapy for PTSD program. Among 63 participants, 50% showed clinically significant improvement in symptoms that continued months after treatment ended.

In this episode, I talk with Dr. Angele Close, a clinical psychologist, motherhood coach, and certified mindfulness meditation teacher. Her work weaves together Internal Family Systems, mindfulness, and matrescence to help mothers reconnect with themselves and embrace the process of becoming. She opens up about her own season of disconnection in early motherhood and how discovering IFS helped her find language, clarity, and compassion for the parts within. Her upcoming book, Unburdening Motherhood: A Guide to Breaking Cycles, Healing Trauma, and Becoming a Self-Led Mom, offers that same roadmap to others. Together, we explore the parts that push us to be the "good mom," the ones that try to do it all, and how IFS can help us lead ourselves and our families with more Self Energy. In this conversation, we explore: Matrescence is the process of becoming a mom, and why naming it matters The "good mom" parts that push us to do it all How IFS helps mothers understand the parts activated by parenting The tension between control, exhaustion, and letting go What happens when protectors soften and play, pleasure, and community return Whether you're a parent, therapist, or simply curious about how our systems respond to change, this conversation is a gentle invitation to lead with more Self energy in every season of life.

I'm so excited this week to introduce Dr. Angele Close on the podcast. We're talking all about motherhood, the myths of motherhood (including the “good mom” myth), and what it's like to be a mom in this modern world. In fact, we had so much to talk about that this week's episode is only part 1! You'll Learn:Why motherhood feels so heavyA key concept that can help you drop the self-blame and shame around not feeling good enough as a momHow choosing to value connection over achievement can benefit your childWays that gentle parenting has over-corrected from traditional parenting stylesThe time I decided I was a great momDr. Angele and I talked a lot about the myth of being a “good” mother and the process of matrescence - the act of becoming and being a mom. We also got into how to release yourself from our society's unrealistic standards of motherhood so that you can tap into your own internal wisdom and intuition.-----------------------------------Meet Dr. Angele CloseDr. Angele Close is a clinical psychologist, motherhood coach, and mindfulness teacher. She is also a therapist in the Internal Family Systems model. She is about to release a new book called Unburdening Motherhood: A Guide to Breaking Cycles, Healing Trauma, and Becoming a Self-led Mom. I cannot tell you how much I love this book, and I know you will too.Dr. Angele is also the mom of 3 teenagers and shares how, as they entered elementary age, parenting got really tough for her. Her oldest child is neurodiverse, and traditional ways of parenting just weren't really working anymore. Everyone (including Dr. Angele) was having a lot of big feelings, and she found herself becoming really self–critical and hard on herself. Emotion-focused therapy, mindfulness, and meditation were her profession, but as a mom she felt like she was losing her mind. This led to seeking out help and support, learning about the concept of matrescence, and discovering the Internal Family Systems model. As she healed herself and gained some traction in her personal life, she quickly realized she needed to share it with other moms. What is Matrescence?The word “matrescence” was conceptualized by an anthropologist Dana Raphael in the 1970s. She was interested in what happens to women when they become mothers. It turns out that mothers go through a significant, profound transformation of identity, similar to in adolescence. It changes every aspect of our lives - emotionally, physically, hormonally, spiritually, our roles, and our careers. Dr. Angele says, “Some people will say it's only the first few years of motherhood. That's not been my experience. To me, it's lifelong. Our relationship to our children and our identity are forever tied.”These transformations can happen at different stages of motherhood. For me, one of those times was when my youngest started kindergarten. I'd lost myself in the previous 7 years of parenting, and I didn't even know who I was or what I liked anymore. When you realize that you're in a transition like that, it's an opportunity to redefine yourself, your career, whatever it is that feels like it's shifting. And whoever you become in that transition is okay. We don't have to make ourselves wrong for any of it.The other piece that is acknowledged in matrescence is that through motherhood, anything we haven't healed or dealt with from our own childhoods will get reactivated. Finally! A concept that lets us see motherhood as a process. To recognize that we've changed, and that's okay. The “Good Mom” MythDr. Angele says that a key focus of her...

He reveals how methods like Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) are transforming the way first responders and veterans process stress, recover from post-traumatic experiences, and reconnect with family.From his early years in ministry to his advanced clinical training, Brett's story is one of purpose and compassion. He discusses the stigma surrounding therapy, how confidentiality and trust are crucial for those in uniform, and the growing shift among younger first responders who now see therapy as mental maintenance rather than a last resort.This episode goes beyond the surface to explore what real healing looks like for those who protect others daily. It's a powerful conversation about resilience, emotional health, and the courage it takes to heal from the inside out.The best podcast for military veterans, police officers, firefighters, and first responders preparing for veteran transition and life after service. Helping you plan and implement strategies to prepare for your transition into civilian life.Follow the show and share it with another veteran or first responder who would enjoy this.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:GRND CollectiveGet 15% off your purchaseLink: https://thegrndcollective.com/Promo Code: TRANSITION15Total Force Plus ConferenceLink: https://totalforceplus.org

I invited my friend Sigourney Belle to explore the real transformation that happens when we move from maiden to mother—and why it's a physiological, neurological, and spiritual awakening. Together we name the power of matrescence, the rise of heightened instinct, and the shadow of fear that can surface in pregnancy. Sigourney shares how unexpected challenges late in her pregnancy dismantled old structures, and how she rebuilt her life with deeper trust in her body's wisdom—ultimately birthing Soma Mystica as a bridge between modern medicine and mystical insight.We go deep into somatic healing: what field intelligence feels like in real time, why co-regulation and therapeutic touch matter, and how practitioners must master state entrainment so their nervous systems become safe, attuned instruments. I share the practices I lean on to anchor presence, while Sigourney offers trauma-informed perspectives that make intuition practical—so we can listen to the body's signals without getting swept by them.From parenting to education, we explore cultivating a child's unique genius, unshaming early body education, and making aligned schooling choices—from Steiner to Green School Bali. We talk about raising embodied, sovereign kids who can sense their own boundaries and creativity, and how intuitive leadership at home starts with our capacity to feel, name, and navigate our inner states.Sigourney also opens up about co-parenting, dating after birth, and building a slower, more strategic business that supports motherhood and creativity. This conversation is an invitation to widen what we believe is possible—inside our bodies, our relationships, and the ecosystems we steward—so that healing becomes not just personal, but profoundly relational and generational.

MARIYA JAVED-PAYNE, MSW, LICSW, LADC is a somatic psychotherapist specializing in healing trauma, complex trauma, addiction, generational and racial trauma, and oppression in the body. She is both a practitioner and teacher of “Brainspotting” a powerful technique in healing trauma. Mariya says, “I am a woman. I am a body of culture. I am a person in recovery. I am an immigrant. I am a student of life. I am a partner, educator, sister, daughter, and friend. I am a passionate and curious individual dedicated to creating health and wellness for individuals, communities, and societies. I believe in deep, nourishing, and holistic change that heals from the roots up.” I was born in India and lived in France, Brazil, and the United States all before the age of six. My experience with vastly different cultures piqued my curiosity about humans and diverse societies from a young age. Blending and assimilating my culture of origin with the United States has been and continues to be an integral part of my story. It has also shaped my ability to assist others in reclaiming their identities as multi-dimensional and complex human beings. These early life experiences in global societies defined my open worldview and appreciation for the diverse walks of life that humanity encompasses. I am grateful for the expansiveness they have provided my foundation. My own journey with addiction and my challenging path to recovery over ten years ago has also given me depth and compassion as a therapist. I gained a firsthand understanding of the quest of the human mind to find a sense of belonging and settledness in an ever-shifting world. These experiences have given me the ability to approach all people with openness, non-judgment, and patience. They have also taught me to be tenacious in my pursuit of healing self and others. Hope is a powerful survival mechanism. www.awakenconsultingservices.com

Shontelle shares powerful insights into the deep connection between trauma and addiction, explaining how healing means addressing the root causes beneath behavior.

The body's alarm system can get stuck on high when chronic pain and persistent symptoms take over, and we give that pattern a name: sensitization trauma. We unpack how symptoms, scary medical opinions, and hope-disappointment cycles teach the nervous system to brace, avoid, and shut down—and why recognizing this isn't a setback, it's a turning point.We start by defining sensitization trauma as the trauma caused by the onset, progression, and life impacts of chronic symptoms, then walk through three distinct stages: the frantic “fixing” phase, the spread-and-avoidance phase where anxiety and associations multiply, and the shutdown phase marked by fatigue, collapse, and the belief that “my body is broken.” Along the way, we spotlight medical trauma—conflicting diagnoses, poor communication, invalidation, and procedures that fail to help—and the telltale signs: pre-appointment anxiety, flares after visits, avoidance of care, and fight/flight/freeze in the exam room. If you've felt “hoped out,” you're not alone, and there's a path forward.Our framework rests on four pillars: education that reframes symptoms as neuroplastic and responsive to safety; safety-building practices in everyday life and medical contexts; regulation tools like grounding, orienting, and somatic tracking to calm arousal without glossing over reality; and trauma processing. We also talk sequencing—why some folks need to front-load safety and regulation before brain retraining—and share real-world examples of graded exposure to appointments, movements, and activities.If this conversation resonates, follow, share, and leave a review to help others find it—and tell us: which stage are you in, and what's one small safety step you'll take this week?Tanner Murtagh and Anne Hampson are therapists who treat neuroplastic pain and mind-body symptoms. They are also married! In his 20s, Tanner overcame chronic pain and a fibromyalgia diagnosis by learning his symptoms were occurring due to learned brain pathways and nervous system dysregulation. Post-healing, Tanner and Anne have dedicated their lives to developing effective treatment and education for neuroplastic pain and symptoms. Listen and learn how to assess your own chronic pain and symptoms, gain tools to retrain the brain and nervous system, and make gradual changes in your life and health!

Expiration dates aren't always what they seem. While most packaged foods carry them, some foods — like salt — can last virtually forever. In fact, there's a surprising list of everyday staples that can outlive the labels and stay good for years. Listen as I reveal which foods never really expire. https://www.tasteofhome.com/article/long-term-food-storage-staples-that-last-forever/ AI tools like ChatGPT are everywhere, but to use them well, you need more than just clear questions. The way you prompt, the way you think about the model, and even the way it was trained all play a role in the results you get. To break it all down, I'm joined by Christopher Summerfield, Professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at Oxford and Staff Research Scientist at Google DeepMind. He's also the author of These Strange New Minds: How AI Learned to Talk and What It Means (https://amzn.to/4na3ka2), and he reveals how to get smarter, more effective answers from AI. When does a tough experience cross the line into “trauma”? And once you've been through trauma, is it destined to shape your future forever — or is real healing possible? Dr. Amy Apigian, a double board-certified physician in preventive and addiction medicine with master's degrees in biochemistry and public health, shares a fascinating new way of looking at trauma. She's the author of The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Holds Fear, Pain, and Overwhelm, and How to Heal It (https://amzn.to/4mrsoIu), and what she reveals may change how you view your own life experiences. Looking more attractive doesn't always come down to hair, makeup, or clothes. Science has uncovered a list of simple behaviors and traits that make people instantly more appealing — and most of them are surprisingly easy to do.

(00:00) Introduction to CMI — what Critical Memory Integration is and how it reframes “symptoms” as “signals.” (03:45) Difference Between CMI and EMDR — how CMI diverges from EMDR in theory, process, and focus on organic experience processing.

Can depression be healed without antidepressants? Josh Trent welcomes Pixie Acia, Spiritual Wellness Coach, to the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 771, to share how nutraceuticals helped her transition off 15 years of antidepressants, why trauma shows up in our bodies until we face it, and how breathwork, community, and cycle-breaking practices can unlock healing far beyond pharmaceuticals. Nutraceuticals from Altrient (LivOn Labs) In order to repair the structural damage caused by a continual barrage of toxic substances and pathogens, your body requires a constant supply of phospholipids. Whilst humans can synthesise some phospholipid compounds, others are sourced from food. Phospholipids that are obtained from the diet are called ‘essential phospholipids'. The liposomes used in Altrient products are made from essential phospholipids that include a high percentage of Phosphatidylcholine (PC). These liposomes not only provide optimum protection and transport, but they also satisfy the body's need for PC, omega-6 fatty acids, and choline. Now Altrient has taken the power of LET out of the laboratory and put it into your hands. It's why Altrient products are so effective. High-performance nutrients delivering enhanced absorption! Try it for yourself In This Episode, Pixie Acia Uncovers: [01:10] Nutraceuticals: Natural + More Efficient than Anti-Depressants The role of nutraceuticals in treating depression. Why Pixie spent 15 years on depression medications. How liposomal applications help us absorb 80-90% of nutrients from a supplement. Why nutraceuticals provide clarity and allow us to feel our emotions more than antidepressants. How nutraceuticals affect both the brain and the gut. Why depression is a combination of trauma and imbalances in the brain. We can't heal from depression with just one practice. Resources: Pixie Acia LivOn Labs (Altrient) [07:30] Does a Vegan Diet Cause More Harm than Good? How a vegan diet ruined Pixie's health. Why she attached her identity to being vegan and stopped listening to her body. How she switched to a carnivore diet to feel better. Resources: The Effects of Vegan Diet on Fetus and Maternal Health [12:50] The Gift in Traumatic Experiences Why we care about what other people think about us based on evolution. How trauma took Pixie's innocence and childhood. Why tattooing her body was a trauma response. How she channelled her trauma to help others. Why Pixie learned to detach from her body when she was abused. How forgiveness can help us let go. [19:10] Healed People Heal People How healed people heal other people. Why Pixie believes she went through her trauma for a reason. How her traumatic experience has helped her help others move through their trauma. [22:30] The Healing Power of Breathwork How breathwork helps us connect with our body. Why breathwork allowed Pixie to free herself from her traumatic sexual past. How breathwork can open us to new dimensions. Why we can get downloads from breathwork sessions. What led her to change her name from Amber to Pixie. [29:30] Why Do You Chase Dopamine?
