The struggle for control lies at the heart of many chronic pain conditions—but what if letting go could offer more relief than fighting ever could? When faced with persistent symptoms, our natural instinct pushes us to fight, fix, and control. We've been conditioned to believe that addressing physical problems means actively engaging with them, finding their cause, and eliminating them through sheer determination. Yet for those with neuroplastic pain and symptoms, this approach often backfires, creating a feedback loop of frustration, fear, and worsening symptoms.Drawing on Mel Robbins' powerful "Let Them" concept, we explore the counterintuitive approach of acceptance and allowing that can transform your relationship with chronic symptoms. This isn't about resignation—it's about recognizing what you genuinely can and cannot control. As Mel wisely states, "Focusing on what you can't control makes you stressed. Focusing on what you can control makes you feel powerful."Tanner shares a deeply personal story of his longest pain flare after initial recovery, describing how weeks of attempting to control and fix his symptoms led nowhere. The breakthrough came only when he genuinely surrendered the fight, creating space for his nervous system to regulate and his symptoms to naturally subside. This powerful example demonstrates how our attitude toward symptoms can be more influential than any specific technique or practice.Rather than fighting against pain and illness, we invite you to explore embodiment practices with curiosity and compassion, shift your focus toward meaningful activities aligned with your values, and remind yourself that your body is fundamentally safe and healthy. These approaches create the platform of safety from which true healing can emerge.Ready to transform your relationship with chronic 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!

This week on Inspire Change, Gunter dives into a meaningful conversation about what is normal? He breaks down what Gabor Mate teaches about healing. This mindful discussion is inspired after reading Mate's book: The Myth of Normal: Trauma, Illness and Healing in a Toxic CultureGabor Maté is a Hungarian Born/Canadian physician. He has a background in family practice and a special interest in childhood development, trauma,[2]and potential lifelong impacts on physical and mental health, including autoimmune disorders, cancer, ADHD and addiction. Maté's approach to addiction focuses on the trauma his patients have suffered and looks to address this in their recovery. In his book In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts: Close Encounters with Addiction, Maté discusses the types of trauma suffered by persons with substance use disorders and how these disorders affect their decision-making in later life.  This week we offer our Gratitude to listeners in South Carolina, particularly in Summerville and Charleston.

If you're a solopreneur, consultant, creative, or independent professional, you know there's more to running a business than hustling between deadlines and client meetings. The real challenge? Moving reliably and efficiently between your various roles, priorities, and ideas, especially if you relate to the “ADHD-ish” brain. In this final episode of the three-part Momentum Series, the focus is on the overlooked but critical skill of shifting smoothly. I share practical strategies, frameworks, and rituals to help you master transitions—whether between clients, projects, or shifting from creative to administrative tasks—in a way that reduces friction and avoids brain drain. Of course, no system's perfect. Illness, emergencies, or just a bad day will derail even the best intentions, so I'll also share my three-step strategy for re-entry that totally sidesteps the usual overwhelm. What You'll Learn in This Episode:The Cost of Context SwitchingSwitching between tasks and roles eats up your energy and time, especially with ADHD. Listen for why transitions feel SO exhausting and what's really happening in your brain.The Transition Bridge SystemTrade your mental cliff-jumping for supportive “bridges.” Learn how building small systems makes every future switch easier and less energy-draining.Breadcrumbs You Won't Want to Sweep Up From one-sentence task summaries to two-minute project recaps, discover the magic of leaving yourself notes (not novels) that make picking up where you left off a breeze—and why voice memos count too!Micro and Macro Rituals for Seamless ShiftsReset your brain with quick mini-rituals, and get step-by-step on bigger resets when shifting between wildly different projects or after a disruption (hello, post-vacation slump).Quick Tip from the Episode: Back-to-back client meetings on Zoom? Simply saying your client's name out loud before opening the meeting room can help your brain switch gears and avoid those “oops, wrong person” moments.

And a lot of people get this very confused. You don't have to be successful to be a high achiever.” “A healthy mind is like a mansion … big open space, private rooms … If something happens and you can't deal with it, you put it in a room and close the door. Later, you open it, bring it out, and process it. A healthy mind knows when to suppress and when to process.” “You can't lead others unless you take care of yourself. You're not going to lead anyone if you die of a heart attack. You have to have integrity with yourself, learn how to be honest with yourself, and know where you need help, where you need to work, and where you need to grow.” “Your life is determined by what you believe… If you believe that you've got something great in you that needs to be shared, then there's something great in you that needs to be shared.” “People die every day because they don't know that their chronic illness is tied to their traumatic events.” “There's a difference between thinking something and believing something.” “Don't get coached by somebody who isn't being coached.” “It's very easy to feel like you're alone as an entrepreneur, especially if you're not surrounded by them.” “Don't pretend to be something you're not.” BOOKS MENTIONED: Letting Go, Finding You: Uncover Your Truest Self through the Enneagram and Contemplation by Hunter Mobley (https://a.co/d/eOuafdq) The Discovery Of The Unconscious by Henri F.

Jonathan Gluck is a writer whose powerful storytelling has been in The New York Times, The Washington Post, New York Magazine, and Vogue. He has served as deputy editor and managing editor of the New York Magazine. Over the course of his distinguished career, Jonathan has earned multiple National Magazine Awards. Now, he turns inward with his latest work, An Exercise in Uncertainty: A Memoir of Illness and Hope, a deeply personal account of his diagnosis with Multiple Myeloma—an incurable blood cancer—and the emotional and physical journey that followed.  In this episode, host Shay Beider speaks with Jonathan about his journey with the blood cancer he's lived with for over two decades. He shares what life looked like at the moment of his diagnosis, the emotional complexity of telling loved ones, and the guilt that often comes with being the one who is sick.

Start Your Transformation Now  In this episode of the Jim Fortin Podcast, Jim shares an intimate and powerful conversation with Don Xavier, a sorcerer and spiritual teacher, about the concept of cosmic seniority. Through personal anecdotes and ancient wisdom, Jim explains that we are not just passive beings in a chaotic world—we are divine co-creators with the universe itself. Drawing from a dinner dialogue with Don avier, this episode explores the immense creative and healing power that lives within us, and how we unknowingly give it away to external forces like fear, ego, and the 3D world. Jim breaks down what it means to reclaim our seniority—the energetic authority we carry as conscious souls on this planet. He dives into how dis-ease begins in the mind, how modern medicine often strips us of our power, and why it's vital to recognize that we are in charge of our reality. Whether you're navigating a health crisis, financial difficulty, or spiritual confusion, this episode will remind you that you already have everything within you to transform your life—if you learn to manage your energy and remember who you truly are. If you've ever felt disconnected from your purpose, your health, or your power—this episode is your call to remember. It's time to stop giving your energy away and start living from your cosmic seniority. What You'll Discover in This Episode:  Don Xavier on Disease and Divine Intelligence (03:00) Illness begins in the mind and manifests in the body—your health is a reflection of your harmony with the universe.  The Power of Seniority and Energetic Responsibility (10:00) Your energy is your power, and reclaiming it is the key to healing, creating, and living fully.  Why You Are on This Planet but Not of This Planet (13:30) Understanding your divine origin shifts how you approach life, fear, and your sense of belonging.  How Modern Medicine Can Strip Away Your Power (18:00) Jim shares how giving seniority to doctors and institutions can limit healing and keep us in “mediocrity.”  We're Always Creating—Even as Newborns (16:30) You are a creator from birth, and your energy impacts others and yourself from the start.  Matter Creates Matter—And Why That's Empowering (26:00) You can shape your physical reality when you consciously co-create with the universe through your energy.  Listen, apply, and enjoy!  Transformational Takeaway  You are not here to surrender your power to external forces—you are here to master it. The universe lives within you, in your organs, in your consciousness, and in your ability to choose. Every moment, you're either evolving or devolving. The difference? Your awareness of your seniority. You are the artist of your life, painting with the brush of divine intelligence. So choose presence over panic, soul over struggle, and power over passivity. Life is not happening to you—it's happening through you. Remember who you are.  Let's Connect:  Instagram | Facebook | YouTube | LinkedIn  LIKED THE EPISODE?  If you're the kind of person who likes to help others, then share this with your friends and family.

It takes effort to stay healthy physically and mentally.

As a holistic practitioner, I recognize that health isdynamic and unique to each person. It also is influenced by many factors – our relationships, our physical environments, our genetics, our schools and jobs, our unique design and purpose, and our day-to-day choices. With all these factors influencing our health, I feel it is only right to also acknowledge that we need more than medication or a supplement, or even a certain herb to help us get better. We are complex, made of body, mind, and soul, so even if my specialty is in herbalism, I feel that if I know about non-herbal tools that can help my clients, I'm going to share them – and there are many!After I meet with a client, I share a written summary thatincludes my observations and assessment, my herbal and nutritional recommendations, AND any lifestyle tools that I believe will help them reach their goals.Today, I want to give you a sneak peek at what are the tools I recommend the most to my clients, and the ones I use myself. The first 11 have been mentioned in previous episodes, so rather than review them thoroughly I list the episodes where you can find them.Then, I offer in depth details about my additional 5 favorite tools, most of which are free! Books mentioned in today's episode are: Live Better Longer by Joseph Dispenza and Hazel Parcells, The Oxygen Advantage by Patrick McKeown, Anatomy of an Illness by Norman Cousins, The Tapping Solution by Nick Ortner, and Accessing the Healing Power of the Vagus Nerve by Stanley Rosenberg.The Family Herbalism program and the Community Herbalist program through Herba Remedium are now open for registration – they begin in August.
