Send a textIn this powerful and deeply human conversation, Joey Pinz sits down with therapist, author, and conscious living guide Katherine Jansen-Byrkit to explore what it truly means to move from surviving life to living awake.Katherine shares her personal journey—from childhood trauma and a suicide attempt at 16 to a lifetime devoted to healing, meditation, and helping others reclaim their inner world. Drawing from her book River to Ocean: Living in the Flow of Wakefulness, she explains how our thoughts, bodies, relationships, and spiritual paths are deeply interconnected—and how ignoring any one of them keeps us stuck.This episode dives into meditation as a practical tool (not an escape), why most suffering comes after thought, how intrinsic worth differs from external success, and why true change requires integration—not just motivation. Joey and Katherine also unpack conscious relationships, healing trauma without labels defining us, and why curiosity may be the most underused skill in modern life.If you're searching for peace, clarity, or a deeper connection to yourself and others, this conversation offers grounded wisdom you can actually live.

In this episode of The Better Life, Dr. Pinkston welcomes Brett Aldrich, founder of Seed the Spirit, for a deep dive into the 5,000-year-old science of Ayurvedic medicine. As an Ayurvedic healthcare counselor and somatic breathwork teacher, Brett shares how we can move beyond the "corporate model" of contemporary medicine to find a personalized path toward true wellness. The conversation explores how the five elements—earth, water, fire, air, and ether—make up our unique constitutions and how "doshas" (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) influence everything from our physical health to our emotional temperament. Brett explains that while the world around us may feel chaotic, Ayurveda provides the tools to remain centered and "whole" within that chaos.

A powerful conversation with Hilary Momberger-Powers on how unresolved trauma fuels overachievement and control, and how true empowerment comes from inner safety, self-responsibility, and transforming pain into purpose. 5 Key Takeaways Trauma isn't just what happened — it's how it shifted your internal “survival wiring.” Overachieving, people-pleasing, isolating, or controlling are all trauma responses. If you're always in a hurry, you may be operating from trauma — not alignment. True empowerment feels grounded, not frantic. Healing begins the moment you say, “I need help.” Exposing hidden fears and taking responsibility (without self-blame) is where real transformation starts. Confidence is rooted in safety, not control. When you stabilize your body, mind, and spirit, you stop reacting to the world and start leading from calm strength. Your pain can become your purpose. When you stop identifying as a victim and start asking, “What do I get to learn from this?” trauma becomes the very thing that empowers you to help others thrive.

Unburdening Motherhood: How Mothers Can Heal Trauma and Become Self-LedWhy Motherhood Triggers Us - and How to Heal Using Parts Work From Perfectionism to Self-Compassion: Healing Motherhood with Dr Angele Close Healing Trauma and Reparenting Yourself Through Motherhood In this episode, I'm joined by psychologist, motherhood coach, and author Dr Angele Close to explore motherhood, self-compassion, and what it really takes to move out of exhaustion and overwhelm in motherhood. Dr. Angele shares how her own journey through motherhood - and the profound challenges of matrescence, led her to shift her work toward supporting mothers' mental and emotional wellbeing. Together, we explore how unhealed childhood patterns, cultural expectations of “good motherhood,” and internalized perfectionism can leave mothers feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and disconnected from themselves. We discuss Internal Family Systems (IFS) and parts work, which provide a compassionate approach that supports mothers in understanding their inner world, easing self-criticism, and responding more calmly and authentically in parenting. Dr Angele and I chat about: What matrescence is and why it's such a vulnerable, transformative time How cultural myths of “good motherhood” shape our inner critic and perfectionism What parts work and Internal Family Systems are (and why they're so helpful for moms) Common “mom parts” like the perfectionist, inner critic, worrier, and mama bear How to respond more calmly to your child's big emotions by doing your own inner work What it really means to break generational cycles How self-compassion and reparenting support both mothers and children Practical ways to begin parts work, even with limited time This episode is an invitation to move out of survival mode, reconnect with your inner wisdom, and become more self-led in motherhood. Dr Angele Close is a psychologist, motherhood coach, and author with nearly 20 years of clinical experience. Her work centers on supporting mothers in moving out of exhaustion, depletion, and overwhelm, and reclaiming a healthy, thriving identity in motherhood. Her approach is shaped not only by professional training, but by her own lived experience navigating the challenges of early motherhood. Dr Angele specializes in maternal mental health, Internal Family Systems, and cycle-breaking work for mothers. Her book, Unburdening Motherhood: A Guide to Breaking Cycles, Healing Trauma, and Becoming a Self-Led Mom, offers practical tools, reflections, and guided practices to support mothers in deep inner healing.

In this episode of Groove with Portia, I welcome Nicole for a deeply honest conversation about forgiveness, self-love, and healing after betrayal. Nicole shares her personal journey that began in 2013 after discovering her husband's infidelity and how that moment changed the way she understood forgiveness, trust, and her own voice.Tune in to hear Nicole explain how her search for healing led her through certifications, practices, and personal exploration before she realized that forgiveness was not about excusing someone else's actions. It was about freeing herself. She introduces the Hawaiian forgiveness practice of Ho oponopono and shares how the four phrases I love you, I am sorry, please forgive me, and thank you became tools for self-forgiveness and self-compassion.Learn why forgiveness is not a one-time decision but an ongoing process and how healing often shows up in the body through tears, release, and reflection. We talk about reclaiming your voice after emotional pain, taking small steps toward self-care, and why learning from experiences is more powerful than trying to forget them.This episode is for anyone navigating betrayal, loss of identity, or the long road back to themselves. Nicole also shares how embracing self-forgiveness led her to publicly share her story, build her brand, and begin writing a book on forgiveness that will include a workbook. We close with an invitation to continue the conversation and a reminder that healing and growth are lifelong practices.Connect with Nicole: https://nicoleharvick.com/
Lyn sits down with motivational speaker Nick Prefontaine to discuss his incredible journey of resilience. At just 14 years old, a devastating snowboarding accident left Nick in a coma with a prognosis that he might never walk or talk again. However, through the unwavering support of his family and a mindset focused on the common goal of recovery, Nick defied the odds and ran out of the hospital less than 60 days later. Today, he shares his "S.T.E.P." system—Support, Trust, Energy, and Persistence—to help others navigate their own life traumas and move from crisis to peak performance. KEY TAKEAWAYS Nick utilises an acronym to guide recovery: Support (leveraging family and friends), Trust (believing in the next step), Energy (maintaining the body's natural healing ability), and Persistence (continuing to move forward regardless of step size). During his coma, Nick's mother acted as his advocate by preventing doctors from sharing negative prognoses in his room, believing that he could still process information even while unconscious. While Nick had a supportive family, he emphasises that a support system can be anyone—friends, neighbours, or associates—who consistently check in and offer help during a crisis. Nick's transition into motivational speaking was driven by a persistent "inner voice" that told him his true mission was to help others thrive after trauma BEST MOMENTS "No matter the severity of your crisis, your decision to take action is your first step." "Trust that once you take your first step, your next step is always going to be available to you." "Maintaining your energy allows your body's natural ability to be able to heal itself." "By continuing to move forward every day, you are building an unstoppable momentum." ABOUT THE GUEST - Nick Prefontaine - Motivational Speaker Through his movement, Common Goal, Nick inspires audiences to see challenges not as barriers but as the foundation for resilience, growth, and success. https://nickprefontaine.com ABOUT THE HOST Lyn Smith – (The Queen of HEARTS) – Love, Dating & Relationship Expert Lyn's personal story is a very inspirational and harrowing one of how she went from having unhealthy and unfulfilling relationships with men (on the back of several serious traumatic sexual assaults in her teens) to now feeling safe, fulfilled, alive, full of passion and having inner peace.

The Metaphysical Hour with Julia Cannon and Tracie Mahan and Question Master Tiffanny Navigating the Great Shift: Energy, Transformation, and Metaphysical Reflections In this episode of The Metaphysical Hour, hosts Julia Cannon and Tracey Mahand explore the profound energetic transitions of early 2026, specifically the shift from Pisces-driven confusion to Aries-led empowerment. The discussion weaves together personal anecdotes of home renovation as a metaphor for spiritual growth, viewer questions on trauma and auras, and practical advice for maintaining a high-frequency mindset during 3D challenges. The New Era: From Confusion to Self-Empowerment The collective consciousness is currently undergoing a significant shift as Saturn reenters Aries, marking the end of a decade-long cycle dominated by Pisces energy. This transition signifies the dissolving of long-standing illusions, blurred boundaries, and "victim narratives" that have historically clouded human discernment. As these old energies fade, they are being replaced by a surge in clarity, psychic sensitivity, and a "soaring" sense of freedom that encourages individuals to move forward without restraint. The "veil" is described as being officially gone, allowing people to be seen for who they truly are and exposing hidden manipulations. The Metaphysical Mirror: Home and Body Personal environments often act as a direct reflection of one's internal state or "body." Julia shares her experience with a house renovation triggered by mold discovery, which eventually led to a mysterious failure of her heating system's thermostat. Metaphysically, this "lack of heat" and "communication breakdown" between the thermostat and the heater suggest a need to examine where communication is failing in life or where one might be "too hot to handle," requiring a cooler atmosphere for frequency transformation. The renovation of a small bathroom—a space for water and emotion—further symbolizes the release of old emotional "mold" to make room for a more expansive experience. Healing Trauma and Expanding Perception Healing trauma is presented not as "releasing" it, but as understanding and "healing" it at its origin. By looking at traumatic events without emotion—from a "30,000-foot view"—individuals can extract the intended lesson and move out of victimhood. Furthermore, as the veil thins, practitioners and individuals are reporting increased spiritual abilities, such as seeing auras around clients or witnessing orbs interacting with chakras. These experiences confirm that the Higher Self is always present and that reality is an "organic playground" where consciousness can maneuver and change outcomes. Timelines and Conscious Choice The phenomenon of vivid dreams or "timeline hopping" is explained as the soul visiting different versions of reality for information. While individuals may visit multiple timelines, the goal is to remain consciously focused on the current chosen experience. For those feeling stuck in 3D stressors, such as the real estate market, the key is to become a "vibrational match" for the new destination by detaching from the outcome and trusting the synchronicity of the journey. The message for 2026 is one of radical openness and movement. By recognizing that our physical world—from our houses to our health—is a mirror of our consciousness, we can navigate the thinning veil with clarity. Whether healing old trauma or stepping into new timelines, the collective is encouraged to "go for it" and embrace the soaring freedom of this new era.

Most people think stress is about what's happening right now. Their schedule, their workload, their kids, their health symptoms. But your body is not only responding to the present moment. Your nervous system is responding through a lens that was formed a very long time ago.Between the ages of zero and twelve, your subconscious was learning what was safe. What strength looked like. What you were supposed to do with pain. Who you were allowed to trust with your body. And most of us have never been taught to look back at that. We just assume stress is something we need to manage better.So I want you to pause for a minute and reflect. What was the narration around health and wellness in your home when you were a child.

The Living Truth Podcast - Freedom From Unwanted Sexual Behavior, Hope & Healing For the Betrayed
When your life is shattered by trauma, slowing down can feel impossible—even unsafe. In this tender, soul-nourishing conversation, Kristin reconnects with her friend Anna Christine Seiple, a licensed counselor, trauma survivor, and author of The Sacred Art of Slowing Down. Anna shares her profound story of devastation, healing, and rebuilding a life she never imagined possible. Together, Kristin and Anna explore: ✨ Why slowing down is often forced upon us in seasons of trauma—and how it becomes an unexpected doorway to healing ✨ How the body carries what the mind tries to outrun, and why listening to your body is a deeply biblical practice ✨ The damaging myth in Christian culture that the body is “bad,” and how Scripture actually presents a fully integrated, embodied spirituality ✨ Why healing isn't linear, logical, or fast—and how God meets us in the mystery ✨ Permission to be human: the messy, cyclical process of grief, anger, hope, and restoration ✨ What it looks like to tend gently to the parts of yourself you've long ignored or believed were unworthy of care If you're walking through betrayal, chronic stress, unwanted sexual behavior or profound disorientation, this episode will remind you that your body is not your enemy—your body is crying out for compassion. God created you as an integrated whole, and every part of you is worthy of love, safety, and healing. Anna's wisdom, vulnerability, and theological depth offer real hope for anyone longing to feel whole again. Link to Anna's book: https://a.co/d/dHvaCtF Anna's website: https://www.acseiple.com/

But the aftereffect, if it's not being taken care of, is a sense of disconnect from ourselves. So, then we try to fill that hole with all kinds of other stuff that is not authentic to us, that is over consumerism, that is not feeding each other, that is creating all kinds of side effects.” –Thomas Hübl, PhDSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Soul Custody: Sparing Children from the Hidden Toll of Divorce with Pamela Henry, author of Soul Custody. Guest Website: https://soul-custody.comEpisode Summary:Divorce doesn't just end a marriage—it reshapes the emotional world of everyone involved, especially children. In this powerful and deeply personal episode of Linda's Corner, host Linda Bjork welcomes Pamela Henry, an expert in early childhood education, family systems, and shared custody parenting. She's also the author of Soul Custody: Sparing Children from Divorce, a transformative guide for families navigating the emotional terrain of separation.Pamela shares her own story: a desperate desire to escape her marriage that eventually led to a profound revelation—she wasn't really trying to escape her husband, but the pain of her own unresolved childhood trauma. As a survivor of sexual abuse by her father, Pamela unconsciously projected her confusion, hurt, and rejection onto her relationships—ultimately impacting her marriage and her children.Now, Pamela helps others understand the deeper emotional roots that can influence the decision to divorce. She invites listeners to pause, reflect, and heal before making choices that carry lifelong consequences.In this episode, we explore:The often unseen emotional cost of divorce on childrenHow childhood trauma can shape adult relationshipsWhy healing yourself is key before trying to fix or escape a relationshipThe importance of self-compassion, transparency, and owning our mistakes as parentsHow to create a healthier future by confronting the pastThis episode is a compassionate, thought-provoking invitation to approach relationships with deeper awareness and responsibility. If you're navigating a difficult relationship or healing from your past, this conversation is for you.Resources & Links:
In this powerful conversation, I connect with my friend Rasmus, a man who has walked the path from high-performance business leadership to deep emotional and spiritual awakening. From his beginnings as an elite athlete and fitness entrepreneur to his evolution into a father and men's mentor, we explore what it truly means to lead from the inside out. Rooted in the theme of Men's Development & Conscious Leadership, this dialogue is heart-centered, deeply personal, and grounded in practices that cultivate presence, vulnerability, and real power.Rasmus shares how divorce became his greatest teacher—opening him to grief, humility, and radical self-honesty—and how those lessons now inform his men's work. We talk about breaking cycles of pain and overachievement, the difference between performance and embodiment, and why turning inward often reveals more strength than chasing external success. We also explore conscious parenting, the courage it takes to re-pattern family dynamics, and how healthy sexuality emerges when men face their wounds with compassion and accountability.Throughout the episode, we offer practical pathways: slowing down to listen to the body, tending to the nervous system, practicing clean communication, honoring boundaries with love, and redefining success through integrity and connection. If you're seeking balance, presence, or a more grounded way to lead—in your work, relationships, or fatherhood—this conversation invites you to meet yourself more fully and lead with an open heart.

Send us a textWhat if your problems aren't separate from you — but the very energy that built the version of you who thinks they have problems?That bold idea is at the heart of this conversation with Brian Hubbard — journalist, philosopher, creator of Time-Light, and author of The Untrue Story of You. We follow his path from early neglect and a depressive collapse to a single insight: what you don't fully attend to keeps weighing you down.Time-Light teaches that trauma is stored energy that shapes brain, biochemistry, behavior, and identity. Instead of chasing symptoms like anxiety, anger, or self-sabotage, Brian shows how changing your relationship with time can shift the process creating them. We unpack:The three time selves: present time, psychological past, and narrative memoryWhy unresolved charge explodes when fused with storyGlimpses of no-time states such as awe, love, flow, and presencePractical exercises to view charged memories with compassion and free yourself from their holdBridging spirituality with research in consciousness and intention, Brian offers a precise, compassionate map for anyone looping familiar patterns.

Gabe Charalambides is the founder of Odyssey, the world's leading provider of psilocybin-assisted therapy, and a Stanford-trained aerospace engineer whose personal experience with anxiety helped shape a mission: making psychedelic healing safer, more responsible, and more accessible to everyday people. After years working alongside leading psychedelic organizations, Gabe launched Odyssey in 2023 and helped open the first legal psilocybin retreat in the U.S., rooted in screening, preparation, and evidence-based support.In this conversation, we explore what psilocybin therapy can look like when done responsibly—why education, intention-setting, and integration matter as much as the ceremony itself. Gabe explains how psilocybin may reduce mental rigidity, increase psychological flexibility, and help people move through trauma, rumination, and fear—especially the existential distress that can come with a cancer diagnosis. We also break down what a guided experience typically involves (screening, preparation sessions, a full-day facilitated journey, and post-session integration), what outcomes Odyssey is tracking through an IRB-approved study, and why many participants describe their experience as one of the most meaningful of their lives.If you've been curious about psychedelics but unsure what “safe” really means—or you're navigating chronic illness, anxiety, or trauma and looking for new tools—this episode offers a grounded, practical look at what's real, what's promising, and what to consider before taking the next step.

Doctor Psychology Human Behavior. Grad Wharton school in Neuroscience and Business. Work as High Performance Coach to business owners and teams. Using neuroscience and business strategy to build organizationsFeeling “stuck” isn't a character flaw—it's your nervous system doing its job a little too well. We dive into how trauma is stored as a state rather than a tidy story, why the brain chooses survival and comfort over growth, and what it takes to move from PTSD to post-traumatic growth. With Dr. Russ Irwin, we map the biology of triggers, the vertical stacking of subcortical memories, and the moment when feelings harden into identity. Then we step into the hope: how identity is restored, how the mind renews through neuroplasticity, and how faith reframes safety, worth, and purpose.We get practical. You'll learn how to spot survival dominance in real time, why talk-only approaches often miss the mark, and how to use body-based regulation to quiet the limbic system before you try to think your way out. We talk identity foreclosure—when “what happened to me” turns into “who I am”—and how to replace that story with one rooted in value and belonging. Confirmation bias gets a spotlight too: the way our brains filter out good news becomes clear, and we share how to turn the light switch into a dimmer so hope can get in.Across the conversation, Dr. Russ weaves deep clinical insight with a faith-forward lens. We explore gratitude's tangible health benefits, from telomeres to immunoglobulin A, and reveal a step-by-step path: name the state, regulate first, reframe the meaning, rehearse the new pathway, and anchor it with action. If you've felt trapped by old patterns, this is a compassionate roadmap to rewire your mind, reclaim your identity, and step into your calling.If this resonated, share it with someone who needs hope today, subscribe for more conversations like this, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Drawing from her decades of work in energy healing and intuition development, she breaks down how unresolved emotional energy can become “stored” in the body, fueling everything from addiction to chronic imbalance, and how true healing requires energetic, not just behavioral, change You'll hear a grounded exploration of:Why forgiveness, release, and emotional clearing are essential for spiritual growthHow remote energy healing can support individuals, even without their conscious awarenessWhat the “fifth-dimensional frequency” actually represents (and why not everyone will choose it)How near-term global upheaval may be part of a larger consciousness expansionThe role of higher vibration, love, and alignment in navigating today's polarized worldThis episode doesn't ask you to abandon logic or blind faith. Instead, it offers a modern spirituality perspective, one that blends intuition, energetic awareness, and personal responsibility, challenging listeners to look honestly at what they're holding onto and what they're ready to release. If you've been questioning where humanity is headed, feeling the internal pressure to evolve, or sensing that “something bigger” is unfolding, this conversation will resonate deeply.Why This Episode Matters This isn't abstract metaphysics. It's a practical lens for understanding spiritual awakening, emotional healing, and why transformation often feels uncomfortable before it feels liberating. Whether you're deeply immersed in spiritual work or cautiously exploring the edges, this episode offers clarity, challenge, and perspective.Key Topics CoveredSpiritual Awakening & Consciousness ShiftsEnergy Healing & Emotional ReleaseIntuition Development & Vibrational AlignmentNear-Death Experiences & Multidimensional Awareness (contextual discussion)Soul Purpose & Collective EvolutionSpirit Guides, Forgiveness, and Energetic BoundariesSubscribe, Rate & Review!

This episode is brought to you by Joi & Blokes, Fatty15, and Strong Coffee Company. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, MD joins Ever Forward Radio to explore why true healing goes far beyond food, supplements, and exercise—and into the nervous system, emotional health, and human connection. Drawing from his new book Plant Powered Plus, Will explains how inflammation is driven by an inseparable triad of gut microbiome imbalance, immune dysfunction, and a compromised gut barrier, while also revealing how chronic stress, unresolved trauma, loneliness, and circadian disruption can prevent the body from ever feeling safe enough to heal. This episode clearly explains the gut–brain–immune axis, the role of parasympathetic "safety" states, why PTSD and trauma leave measurable signatures in the gut, and how practices like sunlight exposure, breathwork, meaningful relationships, and spiritual purpose are not "woo"—but biology.

Conflict, suffering, and global instability aren't framed as failures of the system here, they're revealed as catalysts for awakening, testing whether we respond with fear or clarity.We also address why spiritual bypassing keeps people stuck, how vulnerability functions as a stabilizing force rather than a weakness, and why embodiment — not dissociation — is required for real spiritual maturity.If you've felt unsure how to stay grounded, this episode offers clarity.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:22] What vulnerability reveals about transformation in the present[08:44] Alec's dream about his grandfather revealed the movement from 3rd to 4th density consciousness[15:19] The Buddha in Red Face story[21:11] Integrating masculine and feminine energies increases the strength of both rather than diminishing either[32:52] When Edmund discovered The Law of One[42:53] The eight densities of consciousness [53:01] Practicing love during division without falling into spiritual bypassing[01:10:01] Why those in service to self are actually serving us by offering opportunities to choose love[01:20:05] How the veil of forgetting and free will allow us to remember our true nature as creators[01:43:58] Distinguishing your own essence from external noise through stillness and Steiner's practices[01:57:35] Why true forgiveness becomes unnecessary when we understand our projections[02:17:16] Why we cannot return to tribal ways and must move forward with new forms of conscious community[02:39:30] What the Germanic and Slavic epochs reveal about humanity's progression from individual thinking to soul-warmed communityRelated The Way Forward Episodes:Beyond Verbal Autists, Telepathy & The Nature Of Thought with Melissa Jolly Graves | YouTubeSoulstice Magic, 13 Holy Nights & Neurogenic Qigong featuring Lara Day | YouTubeMemoirs of a Child Sex Slave: Quest For Love featuring Anneke Lucas | YoutubeResources Mentioned:Law of One | WebsiteBe Here Farm + Nature | WebsiteBeing Human Event | WebsiteBuddha in Redface by Eduardo Duran | BookTranscendent Sex by Jenny Wade | BookThe Red Lion by Maria Szepes | BookMutant Message Down Under by Marlo Morgan | Book or AudiobookClick here to enroll in the 2026 season of Being Human.
