Your body is not “being difficult” for no reason. When the brainstem is bracing and the nervous system is stuck in threat detection, symptoms can persist even after years of talk therapy, supplements, or medication. We sit down with Hannah Blake to explore the "Somaya Method", a somatic, nervous system based approach to healing that treats the body as the subconscious mind and focuses on regulation, safety, and integration. Hannah shares her personal story of healing from Crohn's disease, including how stress and heartbreak shaped her flare, how meridian-based breath and movement supported emotional processing, and why diet and gut repair practices like the GAPS diet and going gluten-free were part of a whole-person plan rather than a separate track. We also get honest about psychedelic healing and why non-ordinary states of consciousness require real support. Hannah explains how psilocybin work can shift from cerebral analysis into embodied sensing, why integration matters more than peak experiences, and what green flags to look for when considering ayahuasca or other plant medicines. If you care about trauma healing, somatic therapy, autoimmune symptoms, and nervous system regulation, this conversation offers a grounded roadmap and real hope. If this resonates, subscribe, share the episode with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more people can find these tools.

Motherhood changes everything—and not just in the ways we expect. While welcoming a child can bring immense joy, it also stirs up unseen emotions, hidden wounds, and internal struggles with guilt, shame, and the daunting pressure to "get it all right." Far from the sugar-coated images often seen on social media, the journey into parenthood can leave many feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and silently wondering, "Is it just me?" In this episode, listeners are invited to explore the nuanced realities of becoming a parent and the powerful, often unspoken, shifts it triggers within. You'll discover how experiences from your own past may resurface, why feelings of disconnection or being "not good enough" are so universal, and how concepts like matrescence and internal family systems can offer understanding—and real tools—for healing, growth, and creating deeper, more authentic connections with yourself and the people you love. Dr. Angele Close is a clinical psychologist, mindfulness meditation teacher, and author who specializes in maternal mental health. She uses the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model to support mothers navigating matrescence, helping them release perfectionism, shame, and self-criticism. Her work empowers women to cultivate self-compassion, confidence, and emotional resilience through trauma-informed, compassionate, and evidence-based therapeutic approaches. She is the author of Unburdening Motherhood: A Guide to Breaking Cycles, Healing Trauma, and Becoming a Self-Led Mom.   Episode Highlights 05:21 Parenting challenges with neurodiverse children. 08:08 Parental mental health challenges. 11:43 Struggles with motherhood expectations. 15:27 Pressures and expectations on parents. 16:19 Addressing motherhood burnout. 21:06 Exploring personal growth through motherhood. 24:49 Understanding Internal Family Systems (IFS). 29:24 Understanding self-protective behaviors. 33:42 Understanding the Inner Critic. 39:17 Navigating early parenthood myths. 42:36 Practicing mindfulness and self-compassion. 43:40 Helping moms with healing and guilt.   Your Checklist of Actions to Take Pause and Check In: Regularly pause during your day to notice your body sensations, emotions, and thoughts to increase self-awareness and identify when you're getting activated. Acknowledge Your Parts: Recognize when protective parts of you (e.g., inner critic, perfectionist, controller) are taking over and name them to yourself to help de-escalate internal tension. Practice Self-Compassion: Offer yourself kindness, especially when you notice challenging emotions like guilt, shame, or overwhelm arising in your parenting or relationships. Communicate Openly with Your Partner: Initiate honest conversations with your partner about your current struggles, needs, and aspirations as parents and as a couple to foster connection and teamwork. Explore and Discuss Family Values: Identify and discuss with your partner the values and beliefs you hold about what makes a "good" parent or partner, noting where your perspectives align or differ 40:05. Allow Grief and Vulnerability: When old wounds or unmet needs arise (such as grief while parenting), let yourself feel them and seek supportive spaces, rather than pushing them aside. Set Boundaries for Self-Care: Notice patterns of depletion and intentionally set boundaries to prioritize your rest, nutrition, and personal time, even if it means asking for more help or saying no. Seek Support and Normalize the Experience: Join parent groups, seek therapy or coaching, or read supportive resources like Unburdening Motherhood to help normalize the challenges and connect with others who share your experiences.   Mentioned Unburdening Motherhood (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) ERP 261: How To Strengthen Your Relationship From A Polyvagal Perspective – An Interview with Dr. Stephen Porges ERP 276: Understanding The Need For Both Self-Regulation And Co-Regulation In Relationship – An Interview With Deb Dana ERP 423: How To Transcend Trauma (And The Effects Experience In Relationship) — An Interview With Dr. Frank Anderson Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free relationship guide)   Connect with Dr. Angele Close Website: drangeleclose.com Facebook: facebook.com/angele.close.2025/ Instagram: instagram.com/drangeleclose LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/dr-angele-close TikTok: tiktok.com/@cyclebreakingmomma

What if the key to healing trauma, addiction, depression, and other deeply rooted emotional patterns lies beyond the tools of conventional medicine? In this fascinating episode, we sit down with Dr. Jeff McNairy, Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia and a pioneer at the intersection of Western psychology and indigenous plant medicine, to explore the transformative potential of ayahuasca. Dr. Jeff explains how this powerful medicine may influence the brain, including synaptic plasticity, while emphasizing the critical importance of safety, screening, intention, and the “set and setting” surrounding the experience. He also shares insights into trauma, women's emotional health, supporting highly sensitive people, and why some individuals may be drawn to plant medicine after conventional approaches haven't delivered lasting results. Whether you're curious about ayahuasca or simply interested in the future of mental and emotional healing, this conversation offers a thought-provoking look at what may be possible when we expand the definition of medicine.Dr. Jeff McNairy, Psy.D., M.P.H. is a pioneer in the mental health revolution and Chief Medical Officer at Rythmia, the world's first and only medically licensed ayahuasca retreat. With over 18,000 success stories and a 98% transformation rate, Dr. Jeff is leading the healing work at Rythmia, guiding people from all walks of life - including doctors, veterans, therapists, and those who have tried everything else toward emotional breakthroughs, recovery from trauma, and lasting transformation.Supported by influential figures such as Kelly Slater, MLK III, Jack Canfield and comedian Ron White, who serve on the board, along with Hollywood A-listers like Terrence Howard, Rythmia helps individuals reconnect with their true selves in a way that traditional medicine often overlooks. For over 25 years, Dr. Jeff has worked at the intersection of Western psychology and indigenous medicine, helping thousands break free from PTSD, addiction, and depression. As a former Clinical Director of Passages Malibu, the world's most successful luxury rehab center, he's seen firsthand where traditional treatments fail - leading him to explore the power of alternative therapies.SHOW NOTES:0:48 Welcome to the podcast!2:47 ABout Dr. Jeff McNairy3:50 Welcome him to the show!4:40 Why Ayahuasca?5:55 About Iboga7:13 How Ayahuasca works9:24 Who it's not for12:25 Pre-trip cardiac work-up 14:28 Safety at Rythmia15:16 Schizophrenia17:19 Indigenous cultural practices19:15 When Westerners take Aya19:59 About Shamanism22:49 Importance of Set & Setting25:26 Abuse & trauma in plant medicine28:27 Women's emotional & mental health30:49 First discovery of Ayahuasca33:31 Mechanisms of Action36:50 Synaptic plasticity37:55 Purging on Ayahuasca44:39 How to prepare for visiting Rythmia47:20 The main reasons people do Aya51:30 Rythmia facilities & schedule57:08 Supporting Empaths1:07:25 Dosing Aya1:11:40 Where to learn more1:15:24 Ayahuasca in a nutshell1:16:40 Thanks for tuning in!RESOURCES:Website: RythmiaFacebookInstagramTikTokYouTubeSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/biohacker-babes-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Episode #148 - What if healing isn't about fixing what's broken, but remembering the wholeness that's already within you?In this episode of The Awakened Heart Podcast, I sit down with Darren Starwynn, O.M.D., a Doctor of Oriental Medicine, quantum healer and coach, inventor, author, and teacher with more than 30 years of experience bridging energy medicine, consciousness, spirituality, and transformational healing.Darren shares his fascinating journey from sensing a greater reality as a child to studying Chinese medicine, developing the FDA-cleared Acutron microcurrent device, and eventually experiencing a profound spiritual transformation that changed the direction of his healing work.Together, we explore why healing techniques alone may not create lasting transformation, the difference between spiritual awakening and deep healing, and how trauma, ancestral patterns, beliefs, and our own perception can influence the lives we experience.We also dive into Avatar  Consciousness, Christ Consciousness, the higher self, trust and surrender, and what Darren believes may be happening as humanity moves through a turbulent period of collective change.And rather than simply talking about quantum healing, Darren guides me through a quantum healing experience during the episode.IN THIS EPISODE:• What healing really means — and why Darren describes it as becoming more whole• Why spiritual awakening doesn't automatically heal our wounds• Darren's journey from energy medicine and healing technology into consciousness work• The limitations of relying solely on healing tools and techniques• Trauma, ancestral patterns, past experiences, and the burdens we carry• Avatar Consciousness and reconnecting with the higher self• Darren's experience of Christ Consciousness and spiritual guidance• Why trust and surrender can be essential parts of healing• Quantum healing and working beyond the physical body• The overwhelm and uncertainty many people are experiencing in the world today• Recognizing and developing the innate potential within ourselves• Why community and shared consciousness matter• What it means to live with an awakened heart through love and compassionDarren's work offers a reminder that healing isn't necessarily about becoming someone new. Sometimes it's about releasing what we've accumulated along the way so we can reconnect with who we already are.If this conversation inspires you to create more space for stillness and connection in your own life, download my FREE Meditation Guide linked below.Connect with Darren and learn more about his work, programs, and books through the links below.Connect with Darren: Website YouTube Let's Connect!⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠Rumble⁠⁠⁠Tik Tok⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠Linktree⁠PodcastFREE Meditation Guide

What if the hardest experiences of your life weren't meant to define you—but to lead you back to who you truly are? In this episode of The Lucas Mack Show, I sit down with my longtime friend and spiritual mentor Annie Yatch (https://www.linkedin.com/in/annie-yatch/) for a deeply personal conversation about truth, healing, love, and what it really means to become free. Annie and I have known each other for nearly twenty years, and our journeys have taken us through transformation, loss, growth, questioning, and ultimately a deeper understanding of ourselves. In this conversation, we explore what happens when we stop looking outside ourselves for permission, validation, and peace—and begin reclaiming the power within. Annie shares her transition from consulting and working primarily with men to creating a community designed to support women in releasing the emotional weight they've carried and reconnecting with their own gifts, wisdom, and genius. We also explore radical gratitude—the challenging idea that even the painful chapters of our lives can become teachers. Not because suffering itself is something we need to celebrate, but because healing can transform our relationship with what happened and allow us to receive love in ways we couldn't before. We talk about: • Releasing emotional baggage and old identities • Why freedom begins internally • Learning to receive love • Radical gratitude for the experiences that shaped us • Moving beyond fear-based narratives • Reclaiming your personal power • Oneness and spiritual alignment • Finding peace without needing the outside world to change • What it means to finally live as your authentic self At the heart of this conversation is a simple truth: You don't have to become someone else to be free. You have to remember who you are. If you're in a season of questioning old beliefs, releasing old versions of yourself, or trying to find your way back to peace, I hope this conversation meets you exactly where you are.

When life hits you with profound loss, deep trauma, or the lingering impact of childhood shame, it's easy to lose your identity in the chaos.

Shame is one of the most powerful human emotions. It can quietly influence the choices we make, the relationships we create, the risks we take, and even the way we talk to ourselves when no one else is listening. Unlike guilt, which says "I did something wrong," shame can leave us feeling like "something is wrong with me." And that belief can become a heavy burden to carry.

Why do powerful moments of insight and spiritual awakening not always create lasting changes in our bodies, relationships, and daily lives?In this episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Tobi speaks with spiritual teacher Blaise Kennedy, the creator of Developmental Architecture.Blaise shares his journey through early loss, substance abuse, recovery at the age of 24, meditation, fatherhood, trauma healing, and spiritual awakening. He explains why genuine transformation requires more than intellectual awareness or peak spiritual experiences.Together, we explore how insight becomes embodied through nervous system capacity, emotional awareness, relational safety, honest connection, and consistent practice.Blaise also introduces Developmental Architecture, an embodied and relational framework that helps us understand how fundamental human capacities—including safety, agency, emotional aliveness, love, expression, and connection—develop within the body and through relationships.This conversation is an invitation to stop treating healing as a personal failure or a solo project. It reminds us that the places where we feel stuck may be parts of us waiting for safer and more supportive conditions in which to grow.In This Episode, We Explore:Blaise's journey from addiction and disconnection to recovery and awakeningThe difference between awareness and embodimentWhat Developmental Architecture meansHow trauma and past experiences remain active in the presentWhy the nervous system influences our capacity for growthWhy emotions are designed to move through connectionHow relationships mirror our inner patternsThe connection between awakening, healing, intimacy, and manifestationMemorable Quotes“I don't compare myself to people anymore.”“Drugs gave me the feeling of being alive.”“The past is alive in the present moment.”Key TakeawaysHealing is a relational process involving connection with ourselves and others.Embodied awareness can help us recognise the deeper patterns influencing our present reactions.Relationships reveal areas that may remain hidden during solitary inner work.Spiritual insight becomes transformative when it is integrated into the body, nervous system, relationships, and everyday choices.Slow pacing, safety, consistency, and honest connection are often more sustainable than chasing dramatic spiritual experiences.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Spiritual Awakening and Healing11:08 The Journey of Self-Discovery and Recovery19:45 Reclaiming the Self: Overcoming Addiction and Trauma21:11 The Role of Relationships in Healing27:55 Understanding Our Past and Its Impact36:37 Connecting with Our Deeper Self42:58 The Journey of Self-Discovery and GrowthWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/rQEo3WRPIZA Connect with Blaise KennedyWebsite: https://www.blaisekennedy.com/Developmental Architecture: https://www.blaisekennedy.com/developmental-architectureOne Experience: Consciousness and the Absolute: https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=19405918&appointmentType=95753357&field:18867415=MIRRORTALKSupport Mirror TalkListen, follow, and leave a rating or review on your preferred podcast platform.Share this episode with someone who is exploring spiritual awakening, trauma healing, embodied awareness, or healthier relationships.Discover more soulful conversations: https://mirrortalkpodcast.comRead CONFESSIONS: A personal invitation to reflection, healing and honest self-discovery: https://mirrortalkpodcast.com/confessions-book/Try Aletheia: Receive calm, personalised biblical wisdom for the questions and decisions shaping your life: https://aletheia.mirrortalkpodcast.comOn App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/aletheia-companion/id6781547449Ask Mirror Talk: Share what is on your heart and receive a thoughtful reflection that may help you see your situation more clearly: https://mirrortalkpodcast.com/ask-mirror-talk/

What if better relationships aren't about finding the right person—but becoming better at being in one? Relationship expert and author Dr. Elena joins Kelly Siegel on Harder Than Life for an honest conversation about love, communication, emotional availability, boundaries, healing, and what it takes to build a healthy relationship. Dr. Elena explains why couples often get stuck trying to solve problems when their partner simply wants to feel heard, how unresolved childhood experiences can trigger reactions in adult relationships, and why bringing old emotional baggage into a new relationship can recreate the same patterns all over again. Kelly and Dr. Elena also explore masculine and feminine energy, the importance of healthy boundaries, how successful people can struggle to turn off “CEO mode” at home, chemistry versus compatibility, modern dating, and why love is ultimately a decision—not simply a feeling. If you're struggling with relationship communication, repeating unhealthy dating patterns, trying to heal from past relationships, or looking for a deeper understanding of what makes love last, this episode offers practical perspectives you can take into your own relationships. This episode is for anyone searching for:

Learn how to listen to your body's language and start your own holistic healing journey.Key Information 02:01 – After enduring 10 years of childhood stress and trauma, Cindy was diagnosed in her early 20s with scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, osteoarthritis and fibromyalgia. 03:51 – Cindy's healing journey began with an osteopath. In their first session, she filled a paper with her physical and emotional symptoms.04:43 – An osteopathy goes beyond bones, they focuses on getting the body's systems to talk to each other again, especially a nervous system that has "shut down" or adrenal glands depleted from chronic trauma06:22 – Cindy's neck vertebrae had lost their natural curve and were completely straight. Through years of chiropractic adjustments and specialized apparatuses, she successfully restored the spacing and curvature.10:53 – Cindy and Sarah discuss how Western medicine uses fibromyalgia as a "blanket diagnosis" for unexplained pain. From her experience as a massage therapist, Cindy asserts that it is often unresolved emotional trauma locked physically within the body.14:15 – Cindy emphasizes that everyone has their own unique "recipe for wellness." While she used everything from counseling to energy work and shamanic healing, she notes that individuals must test what resonates with their own body.16:19 – Later in her journey, Cindy used neurofeedback to "reboot" her brain's wiring, mapping her brain waves with electrodes to correct improper firing patterns and regain control over her nervous system.21:36 – Cindy's tip for healing: take just a few minutes every single day to stop, check in with your body's physical sensations and respond with small, consistent acts of care (like rest, hydration, or movement).Cindy's Bio Cindy Gosselin is a Life Coach and the Founder of Choose Wellness, where she supports people on their healing journey in reconnecting with themselves and creating lives that feel aligned, sustainable and true to who they are.With a decade of experience as a Registered Massage Therapist, Cindy has worked closely with the body and developed a deep understanding of how physical, emotional and mental well-being are interconnected.

Fan Mail: Tell Wendy how you're saying yes to yourself!In this episode, Wendy sits down with Kristine Jensen, a psychotherapist who spent 35+ years helping clients heal shame, while carrying a deep sense of unworthiness herself. After closing her practice and moving to the California coast, she finally became her own client. What she discovered: shame is foundational, not superficial. It's not embarrassment or guilt. It's a survival mechanism rooted in childhood, where you learned to collapse, comply, and hide in order to feel safe. And it shapes everything.They explore:Shame vs. other emotions: the misunderstood feeling that keeps women small, quiet, and disempoweredSelf-soothing internal dialogue: the practice children with healthy self-esteem learn early, and what happens when you have to teach it to yourself as an adultStop telling your old story: why repeatedly reliving trauma reinforces neural pathways, and how moving toward who you're becoming shifts everythingThe work isn't about understanding what happened to you. It's about learning to talk to yourself the way you'd talk to someone you love. Building an internal vocabulary of self-encouragement. Getting tired of your old story so you can create a new one. This is how unworthiness heals.Connect with Kristine:kristine-jensen.comFacebook: facebook.com/kristinebjensenauthorLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kristine-jensen-203a09129/Get her book, Bruised Not Broken: amazon.com/Bruised-Not-Broken-Troubled-Childhood/dp/B0DZ2PZN37?tag=syty-20________________________________________________________________________________________Connect with Wendy:LinkedinInstagram: @wendy.harropFacebook: Phineas Wright HouseWebsite: Phineas Wright House PWH Farm StaysPWH Curated Experience and TravelInterested in being a guest on the show?

WHO THIS EPISODE HELPSAnyone carrying the lasting effects of childhood emotional neglect, unresolved grief, spiritual trauma, complicated loss, or relationship wounds. This conversation is especially meaningful for people who have spent years believing they needed to earn love, acceptance, or belonging.WHAT LISTENERS WILL GETA deeply honest conversation about grief beyond death, healing childhood trauma, repairing broken relationships, understanding emotional neglect, and discovering that recovery begins by acknowledging what happened instead of pretending it didn't.DESCRIPTION:Some losses leave a headstone. Others quietly shape an entire lifetime without anyone recognizing them as grief. In this episode of Grief Is Not A Dirty Word, Nick sits down with author, speaker, and trauma survivor Danielle Bernock to explore childhood emotional neglect, spiritual trauma, accumulated grief, family loss, and the lifelong process of healing. Danielle shares how losing multiple family members, experiencing rejection inside her church, and growing up believing she had to earn love affected every relationship she would later have. Together, Nick and Danielle discuss why grief is often much bigger than death, why trauma compounds over time, and why repairing our relationship with ourselves often becomes the foundation for healing every other relationship in our lives. This conversation is filled with honesty, compassion, laughter, and hope for anyone learning that their story is not over.THIS EPISODE ANSWERS: What is childhood emotional neglect, and how does it affect adults later in life?  How can unresolved childhood trauma influence grief and relationships?  What is spiritual trauma, and how can someone begin healing from it?  Why do multiple losses seem to become harder instead of easier over time?  How do you begin repairing your relationship with yourself after years of emotional pain? KEY TAKEAWAYS: Emotional neglect can leave lifelong wounds even when parents genuinely loved their children.  Grief extends far beyond death and often includes the loss of safety, belonging, identity, trust, and connection.  Trauma frequently accumulates over time, making later losses feel even heavier than earlier ones.  Healing does not require blaming others forever, but it does require honestly acknowledging what happened.  Repairing the relationship you have with yourself often becomes the first step toward repairing relationships with others.DANIELLE'S LINKS:WEBSITE:  https://www.daniellebernock.comCONTACT:  https://www.daniellebernock.com/contact/COACHING:  https://www.daniellebernock.com/coaching/SPEAKING:  https://www.daniellebernock.com/speaking/TO BUY DANIELLE'S BOOKS:  https://www.daniellebernock.com/books/Support the showGIVE THE SHOW A 5-STAR RATING ON APPLE PODCASTS! FOLLOW US ON APPLE OR YOUR FAVORITE PODCAST PLATFORM! BOOKMARK OUR WEBSITE: www.griefisnotadirtyword.com FOLLOW OUR DEAD DADS ON SOCIAL MEDIA: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/griefisnotadirtyword Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/griefisnotadirtyword TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@griefisnotadirtywordYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmmv6sdmMIys3GDBjiui3kw LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nick-gaylord/

This episode starts with a comment from a viewer: 35 years old, a long-term abusive relationship behind her, grief she can't move, a sense that the years aged her faster than they should have. Silvana takes that question seriously and goes somewhere most spiritual teachers won't.The answer runs through Black Tantra, specifically through Dhumavati, the widow goddess of the Mahavidyas. She is the goddess who ate Shiva. She has no wheels. She sits in desolation and asks you to stop pretending there's a way to make this okay. If you've been told to forgive and vibrate higher and your body still feels like a site of something that happened to it, this episode is worth your time.Silvana walks through a two-phase process. Phase one is full permission to feel what's there: grief, rage, hatred, all of it, through the body, with support, without spiritually bypassing any of it. Phase two is the reclamation: aura sealing, a cleansing season, boundaries that are actually non-negotiable, the gradual return to your body as a compass rather than a threat, and reconnecting with the Shakti that abuse systematically cuts you off from. She references Dion Fortune's "Psychic Self-Defense" on energetic protection, pulls in the myths of Inanna and Persephone as maps for descent and return, and covers the eighth house in astrology as the domain of trauma, depth psychology, and real power.If this episode surfaces something you've been sitting with for a long time, and you're ready to build the spiritual structure that lets you move from there: https://silvanaisaza.com/mentorship/

Sheelaa M Bajaj, numerologist and founder of House of Sheelaa, believes our biggest barrier isn't bad luck—but failing to align our name, birth date, and elements with our highest frequency. She reveals that your birth number and life path number are only the surface; your name's vibration and the five elements (fire, earth, metal, water, wood) dictate whether you attract honey or flies—and why ignoring these energetic pillars keeps you swimming against the current.From surviving an abusive marriage to activating her own Raja Yogas through name changes, Sheelaa views numerology as a memory system for planetary energy left by ancient channelers. She shows why a Number Four must set boundaries to stop over-giving; why a Number Seven's overthinking isn't a flaw but a spiritual gift; why a Number Nine must find their soul's purpose or burn from within; and why aligning your name with the right planet transforms personal chaos into professional and relational miracles.We explore the difference between heaven's luck (fixed birth chart), earth luck (feng shui and vastu), and personal luck (name and mindset), the fiery 2026 as a "Year of the One" ruled by the sun, the necessity of syncing energy healing with hypnotherapy to close old trauma tabs, and how viewing yourself as a conscious creator turns karmic lessons into quantum leaps.The path to your destiny has always been encoded in numbers. Will you keep blaming your circumstances—or finally tune your frequency to the vibration that makes everything flow with ease?

What if almost everything you've been told about happiness is wrong? Most people spend their lives trying to avoid discomfort. Jerzy Gregorek argues the opposite: the harder the choices you willingly make, the happier, stronger, and more resilient your life becomes. World Champion weightlifter, philosopher, poet, therapist, and author Jerzy Gregorek explores the mindset principles that helped him survive political persecution in Communist Poland, overcome alcoholism, fight for freedom, coach elite athletes, and transform countless lives through what he calls the Happy Body philosophy. Jerzy explains why confidence isn't something you're born with—it's something you earn through difficult choices. He reveals why most people sabotage their own happiness through expectations and complaint, why tiny daily improvements create extraordinary lives, and why true freedom begins the moment you take complete ownership of your choices. --- 00:00 Why Hard Choices Create an Easier Life 01:29 Recovering From Injury Starts With the Right Goal 05:22 Why Most People Never Build Real Resilience 07:02 The Stoic Philosophy of Constant Progress 08:01 Why You Need Bigger Goals 10:21 Building Confidence Through Personal Proof 13:19 The Power of Micro Progressions 15:18 The Incredible Story of Rebuilding a Life From Scratch 25:00 At 71 Years Old: Why Jerzy Still Olympic Lifts Every Day 30:03 How Poetry Became a Tool for Healing Trauma 36:18 "The Mind Makes the Body" 40:47 Viktor Frankl on Finding Meaning Through Suffering 45:20 Fighting for Freedom in Communist Poland 47:48 Helping People Recover From Addiction, PTSD & Darkness 54:54 Can You Become Your Own Hero? 56:17 The Books That Changed Jerzy's Life 58:12 Why Expectations Create Suffering 59:18 Stop Complaining, Start Taking Ownership 01:03:21 Choosing Happiness Is a Skill 01:07:22 What "Ever Forward" Really Means 01:10:47 The Value of Mentors 01:13:28 Jerzy's Daily Happy Body Practice ---- Episode resources: Timeline - get MitoPure with urolithin A for less than $75/month with code EVERFORWARD  Watch and subscribe on YouTube

What if anxiety, chronic pain, emotional overwhelm, and even trauma aren't signs that you're broken—but signs that your nervous system is trying to protect you? Ashleigh Di Lello, performance coach and Bio-Emotional Healing creator, shares one of the most powerful conversations ever featured on Ever Forward Radio. After surviving a mysterious illness that nearly took her life as a teenager—and later battling debilitating chronic pain that ended her professional dance career—Ashleigh discovered something that completely changed her understanding of healing. She explains why the brain is always trying to predict danger, how trauma quietly reshapes our identity, why resilience alone isn't enough, and what it actually takes to rewire your nervous system using evidence-based neuroscience. ----- 00:00 Why resilience eventually requires surrender 04:38 The mysterious illness that nearly took Ashleigh's life 09:16 Accepting reality vs. accepting defeat 13:44 Why unexpected trauma overwhelms the brain 16:02 A neuroscience-based protocol for processing bad news 22:44 The brain becomes what it repeatedly practices 24:03 Why toxic positivity doesn't heal trauma 29:42 How identity shapes your nervous system 35:27 When becoming "a fighter" eventually keeps you stuck 45:35 Trust, surrender and letting go of survival mode 57:35 Healing chronic pain by rewiring the nervous system 1:03:47 The Bio-Emotional Healing framework explained 1:06:08 The surprising way your reaction strengthens anxiety and pain 1:11:19 Why Ashleigh named her pain "Betty" 1:18:10 The invisible victory no one else could see 1:22:20 What "Ever Forward" means to Ashleigh ----- Episode resources: KETONE IQ - 30 % off brain fuel LMNT - free sample pack 38terra - 33% off gut health Watch and subscrbe on YouTube

S8 E7: Healing Trauma Through Play w/Steve Gross, MSW, Founder, The Life is Good Playmaker ProjectIn this episode, Alexis and Gerald speak with Steve Gross, MSW, founder of The Life is Good Playmaker Project to discuss the value of play as it pertains to creating a context for healing amongst children who have endured trauma and stressors in their life. Steve shares personal stories of his formative experiences that led him to a career focused on helping children heal and grow through positive experiences that elicit trust, care, and joy. We discuss a conceptual understanding of being trauma-informed and how play and genuine openness in a trusting relationship can be powerfully therapeutic. We acknowledge how easily adults and children can lose touch with their playful nature when experiencing the traumas and stressors of life that create a survival instinct and ultimately can contribute to disconnection and loneliness; and how to return to that playful nature with intention and prioritization.Summary:The psychological and relational value of playfulnessThe significance of relationships in healing traumaThe Impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs)From being Trauma-informed to being Play- and Healing Relationship-informedRegaining one's playful nature and connectionBe curious.

In this episode, I'm taking a do-over.Over the last few years on Mayhem, I've talked so much about trauma, nervous systems, hypervigilance, emotional regulation, and healing after narcissistic abuse and childhood trauma. But the more I've learned from daughters, from the Mayhem Daughters community, and from our first in-person retreat, the more I've realized I want to simplify how I think about healing and what actually helps people heal.In this conversation, I'm sharing how my understanding of trauma healing has evolved and why I no longer believe healing happens entirely through insight or isolation.We talk about:Nervous systems and childhood traumaPeople pleasing, hypervigilance, and self abandonmentWhy “just calm down” doesn't work for daughtersConnection, community, and relational healingSecure attachment and why shows like Shrinking resonate so deeplyThe mother wound and allowing safe people to love you wellWhy healing happens inside of relationships, not outside of them This episode is for daughters of narcissistic and emotionally limited mothers who are trying to understand themselves, feel safer in their bodies, and experience healing in a more connected, human way.Join Mayhem Daughters

Sometimes healing doesn't start in your head. It starts in your body. For 17 years, Erika Shershun did everything she was told she was supposed to do. She went to therapy. She named her depression. She worked on her thoughts. But the symptoms kept coming, and underneath them was a survival story her body had never been given the space to release. This conversation dives into what somatic psychotherapy actually is, why the body remembers trauma in ways the mind cannot, and the pivotal moment in a hands-on training when Erika's body finally interrupted years of silence. Erika opens up about surviving an attempted assault while running at dusk, the voice that told her she was not going to die, and the years of shame that came before and after. She also walks through what unhealed trauma looks like in everyday life, why so many survivors blame themselves for what their body did during an assault, and the simple daily practice she gives every client to begin feeling safe in their body again. Through fear, shame, fight responses, and decades of seeking answers, Erika's story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible at any age, that intuition is something to trust, and that the body always knows how to find its way home if you give it the right tools. Guest Bio Erika Shershun, MA, LMFT, is a somatic psychotherapist who specializes in helping trauma survivors reclaim the life they were meant to live. She's the author of the Healing Sexual Trauma Guided Journal: Writing and Somatic Practices to Help You Process, Heal, and Feel Safe, the Healing Sexual Trauma Workbook: Somatic Skills to Help You Feel Safe in Your Body, Create Boundaries & Live with Resilience, and the PESI Sexual Trauma Clinical Training. The workbook is available in Spanish (Tengo Un Trauma Corporal?), Polish, Russian, and Romanian, and the journal is available in Turkish. Her approach is trauma informed, rooted in somatic principles, drawing on neuroscience and integrative modalities such as EMDR, Brainspotting, energy psychology, mindfulness, self-compassion, and parts work. Erika values diversity, offers individual online therapy sessions in California, and provides coaching to clients outside of the state. You'll hear About What somatic psychotherapy is and why the body has to be part of healing How trauma is stored differently than ordinary memory Why 17 years of traditional therapy did not heal Erika's deepest symptoms The moment in a body work training that finally unlocked her healing Surviving an attempted assault and trusting the voice that came through Why so many sexual trauma survivors carry shame for what their body did How unhealed trauma shows up as digestive, autoimmune, and emotional symptoms The daily grounding and orienting practice Erika gives every client Why it is never too late to begin your healing journey Chapters 00:00 Welcome and Episode Introduction 01:15 Meet Erika Shershu 02:00 What Somatic Psychotherapy Really Is 05:00 Why the Body Holds Trauma Differently Than Memory 08:00 17 Years of Therapy and Still Searching 09:30 The Trigger Point Therapy Session That Changed Everything 12:00 Surviving the Assault While Running at Dusk 17:00 The Voice That Told Her She Was Going to Live 21:00 The Shame Most Survivors Carry in Silence 22:30 Finding Somatic Therapy and Beginning to Heal 24:30 How Unhealed Trauma Shows Up in the Body 30:00 Why Self-Medicating Quiets What the Body Is Trying to Say 33:30 Erika's Daily Practices for Safety and Healing 36:30 Where to Find the Workbook and Guided Journal 42:30 Erika's Message for Anyone Still Searching for Hope 45:00 Final Reflections and Key Takeaways Chuck's Challenge This week, take one small step toward listening to your body. Maybe that means pausing before you push through another long day. Maybe it means asking what the tight chest, the gut ache, or the restlessness has actually been trying to tell you. Maybe it means downloading the first chapter of Erika's book and sitting with one grounding practice instead of scrolling away from yourself. You don't have to name everything you're carrying. You don't have to fix it all this week. You just have to start by listening. Because as Erika shared, healing doesn't begin when life feels safe again. It begins the moment you give your body permission to be heard.

Shrinks Rap was recently ranked #2 among psychotherapy podcasts and included in MillionPodcasts' 2026 Top 100 Psychology Podcasts list. Thank you listeners! Can eye movements really help heal trauma? Is joy actually one of our most vulnerable—and least expressed—emotions? And how do trauma therapists spend their days swimming through other people's pain without needing EMDR themselves after every session? In this episode of ShrinksRap, Dr. James Bramson sits down with nationally recognized trauma expert Dr. Jason N. Linder to explore the powerful intersection of EMDR, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT),mindfulness, and attachment neuroscience. Together, they discuss how these approaches complement one another, when each is most effective, and why healing isn't simply about reducing symptoms—it's about creating safety, secure connection, resilience, and the freedom to fully engage in life. The conversation also ventures beyond the therapy office to explore what gives therapists joyand meaning, why the ability to say “no” is essential for emotional safety and effective clinical supervision, and how today's immigration climate is affecting Latino and immigrant communities. Along the way, Dr. Linder shares practical wisdom for clinicians, hope for those recovering from trauma, and lessons learned from decades of helping people heal. Whether you're a therapist, psychology student, or simply fascinated by how people grow and recover, this episode is filled with warmth, clinical insight, and just enough humor to remind us that eventrauma therapists occasionally laugh… usually after making sure everyone has completed their resourcing exercise.Credits:River is High, Ticketless TravelerCarl Reisman, guitar, singer, and songwriterJenny Goodwine, vocalsJames Singleton, bassJohnny Vidocovich, drumsDave Easley, steel guitarProduced by Morgan Orion Reismanfor more information, carlreisman@gmail.comCopyright 2025WCMI networking group A networking group for mindfulness-focused clinicians dedicated to learning together & collaborating for more information click here
