Podcast appearances and mentions of Mandy Harvey

I adore music. It moves me like few other things in existence. There was a time when my family and I watched America's Got Talent, and it was the breakout singers that we most enjoyed. You may remember Mandy Harvey. Mandy was in college pursuing a vocal music education degree, then lost her hearing. She left the program to pursue other career options, but later returned to music. She ultimately landed on America's Got Talent where she reached the finals and was Simon Cowell's Golden Buzzer Winner. From there, CNN showcased Mandy on their Great Big Story and captured over 10 million hits on social media, Burt's Bees signed her up for their “Remarkable Women” campaign, NBC Nightly News profiled her, and she went on to perform at the world's most prestigious clubs, concert stages and festivals. Mandy then wrote a book titled, Sensing The Rhythm, Finding My Voice In a World Without Sound. The book landed on my desk and in it I found a message of helping others to realize their dreams and pursue their hopes, no matter what. I invited Mandy onto my show and following I bring back an incredibly inspiring conversation about pursuing your dreams, in spite of seemingly insurmountable obstacles, like being a singer…who goes deaf.

This week, I'm thrilled to chat with Los Angeles-based producer, Billy Lefler. Billy has secured countless sync placements for his artists and collaborated with major publishers like Warner Chapel, Secret Road, and Position Music. We'll dive deep into the life of a highly successful producer and have a bit of fun along the way. In this episode, Billy and I reminisce about the iconic Death Star studio where we've both spent many nights recording. We explore what it's like to be immersed in LA's vibrant music scene and how it fuels creativity and opportunities. Billy shares invaluable insights on collaborating online versus in-person and the magic that happens when artists and producers can vibe off each other in the same room. We also discuss his approach to making music that resonates authentically, aiming for sync success without compromising artistic integrity.  Tune in to learn from Billy's experiences and get inspired by his journey in the music licensing world.

At the heart of his career lies a dedication to storytelling through sound, facilitated by his diverse roles predominantly as a producer, alongside being a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.  From the indie pop charm of Ingrid Michaelson to the rock anthems crafted for Dashboard Confessional and the dynamic beats for Gym Class Heroes, Billy's adaptability shines through. Working with artists like Avril Lavigne, Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy, and America's Got Talent standout Mandy Harvey, he has showcased his capacity to excel across various musical landscapes. Billy's contributions have not only garnered industry accolades but have also made a lasting impact on the music scene. His production work on Ingrid Michaelson's hit "Be Ok" is a prime example of his talent for creating catchy, emotionally resonant tracks that connect with audiences far and wide. Moreover, his production efforts helped propel Laura Jansen's album Bells to platinum status in The Netherlands, solidifying his role as a pivotal figure in music production on an international scale. Beyond his collaborations with individual artists, Billy's skills and vision have been recognized and sought after by leading record labels and publishers, such as Warner Chappell, Secret Road, and Position Music. Billy Lefler's knack for sync licensing underscores his unparalleled ability to weave music into the fabric of popular culture. His success in securing placements for the artists he works with in TV shows, advertisements, and movie trailers include: Ad spots for McDonald's and Evian Water, episodes from "The Blacklist," "Grey's Anatomy," and "The Vampire Diaries," “Pretty Little Lies,” “So You Think You Can Dance,” “One Tree Hill,” “Switched At Birth,” “Smallville,” various movie trailer campaigns, and a significant highlight was the placement of Daniel Blake's cover of Dido's "Here With Me" in the season finale of the CBS show "Roswell." About the Hosts: We're Sonnet Simmons and John Clinebell, 2 indie artists who have found success and creative fulfillment through licensing our music for ads, TV shows and films.  We were once so disheartened and discouraged that our music wasn't being noticed or valued through traditional methods. So we both started on a journey to find another way. For us, that “third door” was sync! And what we discovered is a lot better than we could have ever even imagined…[Find out more here] Resources From This Episode: 2Indie - Visit our website for more resources and information on how to get YOUR music signed Sync Society - Want to join our exclusive online sync community, with weekly LIVE networking and coaching calls? @2indieofficial - Follow us on Instagram Sync It!

Are your clients struggling to make changes? Or do they slip back into a way of living that made them sick? There may be an underlying reason – unresolved trauma from their past. Mandy Harvey discusses how unhealed trauma may get in the way of your client's goals and ability to make changes. She also shares how health coaches can help clients with past traumas and create the lasting changes they want.   In this episode, they talk about: How trauma experienced as a child can impact someone's beliefs, behaviors, and health Should health coaches send clients needing trauma healing to other professionals Importance of trauma healing Some common mistakes leaders make when trying to heal from unresolved trauma Recommended lifestyle changes for somebody who's trying to overcome or deal with trauma If a health coach is working with somebody dealing with traumas, should they stop everything else and just deal with the trauma, or make it part of their process   Memorable Quotes “Trauma affects not only our biology and our stress response system, but it affects our beliefs and our behaviors.”   “The biggest mistake is thinking we can heal trauma just like any other task. It takes time. And the other thing is trying to rush it. We need to understand that it took time to realize we had this, and we need to work on it. So it's going to take a longer amount of time.”   BIO:  Mandy Harvey is a leader in the field of trauma healing as well as an in-demand inspirational speaker. She specializes as a healing guide for high achieving, chronically stressed and perfectionist leaders who are ready to release their feelings of inadequacy and thrive as their authentic selves.

Mandy's extraordinary story of transforming her own life from devastating childhood trauma and a near death experience to courageously facing and healing from the past, learning to embrace and stand in her authentic truth, and designing the life of her dreams, is the inspiration behind her bold mission to teach others that it is possible to do the same.   Mentioned In This Episode: Click here for the free Breaking the Chains video series: http://traumahealingforcoaches.com/break/ Mandy Harvey Website: https://mandylharvey.com/ Links to resources: Health Coach Group Website https://www.thehealthcoachgroup.com/ Use the code HCC50 to save $50 on our website Leave a Review of the Podcast

Trauma can be a root cause of our health issues and can create barriers between us and the healthy changes we're trying to make. If we have deep wounds under the hood of our health issues and we overlook or ignore them, we're likely going to struggle to make the healthiest choices, reach our health goals, and thrive. Despite doing all the things on the surface (food, exercise, supplements, sleep, etc.), turmoil below the surface can sabotage your progress, and addressing it can be a gateway to profound healing. That's what we're going to explore in episode 62 of the Thyroid-Healthy Bites podcast with my special guest, Mandy Harvey. Mandy Harvey is a leader in the field of trauma healing and an in-demand inspirational speaker. Mandy's extraordinary story of transforming her own life and courageously healing from devastating childhood trauma and a near-death experience is the inspiration behind her bold mission to teach others that it is possible to do the same. Whether you've experienced big "T" or little "t" trauma in your life, this moving interview will show you how old hurts can manifest in physical ways and how to overcome them. So, hit that play button, and let's dig in.

In this episode Melissa and trauma expert Mandy Harvey explore the profound impact of trauma on health, particularly when it comes to autoimmune conditions.

Mandy Harvey, Speaker and Trauma Healer, joins Nikki and Chad to start a conversation about trauma that will continue into several future episodes in 2024.

Een van de talentenjacht-audities waar ik het meeste bij moet huilen is die van Mandy Harvey. Een zangeres die op haar 18e doof werd door een ziekte, en op haar 29e op het podium staat van America's Got Talent. Op kousevoeten, zodat ze de bas voelt van het nummer dat ze staat te zingen. Ze speelt ukelele en terwijl ze zichzelf niet kan horen zingt ze loepzuiver op toon een zelfgeschreven nummer over haar leven.  Ik snap niet hoe dat kan. Hoe meer ik erover nadenk, hoe minder ik me kan voorstellen dat zoiets mogelijk is. En toch blijkt het te kunnen, en dat weet het grote publiek nu. Doordat ze haar podium heeft gepakt en aan iedereen heeft laten zien dat ze uniek is. In mijn trainingen kom ik veel ondernemers tegen die net als Mandy iets kunnen dat onvoorstelbaar is voor mij. Ze hebben een superpower. Je moet het zien om het te geloven. Ze komen bij me omdat het grote publiek ze helaas niet kent. Doordat het niet lukt om een groot podium te vinden. En doordat ze niet goed kunnen zeggen wat ze uniek maakt. Als ik hun verhaal hoor, krijg ik bijna tranen in mijn ogen. Want ze zouden zo veel meer mensen kunnen helpen met die gave. Alleen ze krijgen hun bereik en hun omzet niet verder omhoog. Voor die ondernemers heb ik een nieuw groepsprogramma gecreëerd: Sleeping Giants. Het is speciaal voor vakidioten met superpowers. Die al minstens 100.000 euro omzetten per jaar en lyrische klanten hebben, maar bij wie de omzet al jaren gelijk blijft. Unieke ondernemers die nu klaar zijn om te groeien. In het Sleeping Giants-programma gaan we vanaf begin 2024 je marketing en positionering in 6 maanden een complete make-over geven. Zodat je een groot podium vindt en volslagen uniek bent in je markt. Sleeping Giants is invitation-only. Dat betekent dat ik je niet direct toelaat in de groep, maar eerst met je in gesprek ga. Denk je dat je een sleeping giant bent en wil je meer informatie, ga dan naar deze pagina waar je ook de link vindt om een belafspraak met me aan te vragen: https://www.schrijvenvoorinternet.nl/sleeping-giants Aartjan van Erkel

BAST founder Line Hilton joins Alexa to discuss the best vocal exercises for pitch accuracy training. You'll find lots of helpful information on perceived tone deafness, singing and the premenstrual voice, navigating matching pitch, whether being ‘pitchy' is a thing, props you can use in your lessons, and of course, some amazing vocal exercises you can use with your singing students.  KEY TAKEAWAYS There are several reasons that people may struggle with pitch, these include factors like inadequate ear training, poor vocal technique causing pitch instability, performance anxiety affecting concentration, health issues impacting hearing, inconsistent practice, and variations in tonal memory.  Amusia is a neurodevelopmental or acquired disorder that impairs the ability to recognise or interpret musical elements. Commonly known as "tone-deafness," individuals with amusia may struggle with pitch, rhythm, and melodic memory. It can be present from birth or acquired through factors like brain damage. Most people can hear when something is a quarter to three-quarters out of tune. Those who have practised with musical instruments and are used to tuning them will often find it easier to notice.  There is an assumption in the singing community that if your pitch isn't accurate, then you are a bad singer. We're human, sometimes we're not going to be completely inaccurate.  Props can be useful in pitch exercises, for example pitching through a straw. There are also apps that you can use to test a student on whether a pitch is higher or lower. Line also records herself doing single pitches in the speaking range which singers can then practise against at home.  BEST MOMENTS ‘I really object to the fact that when someone says they can't sing in tune they're labelled as tone deaf'  ‘Less than 4 or 5 percent of the population suffer from amusia' ‘Saying someone is pitchy doesn't mean anything'  ‘There are many great performers out there who sometimes sing out of tune'  EPISODE RESOURCES Guest Website: basttraining.com Social Media:  @basttraining  Relevant Links & Mentions:  (BAST Blog) Singing and the Pre Menstrual Voice: https://www.basttraining.com/singing-and-the-premenstrual-voice/ Singing Teachers Talk Podcast: Understanding Singing and Menopause with Joanne Bozeman  Tone Deaf Test: http://tonedeaftest.com/ Ian Davidson: https://ianjdavidson.com/ Sing&See: https://www.singandsee.com/ insTuner Vocal Pitch Monitor Solfege Hand Signs Claire Cannon: https://www.clairecannonvoice.co.uk/ Kaya Herstad-Carney: https://kayamusic.com/ Mandy Harvey: https://mandyharveymusic.com/ ‘When You Only Sing in FSharp' by Tim Minchin  Natalie Weiss: @NatalieWeissOfficial (Youtube) ABOUT THE PODCASTBAST Training is here to help singers gain the knowledge, skills and understanding required to be a great singing teacher.

This is a live recording of a homily that Fr. Eric gave on Sept. 2, 2023 at St. James in Colgan, Ontario. Fr. Eric reflects on Jesus expounding upon His identity as the Suffering Messiah (Mt 16:21-17) in speaking about how we are called to walk the path of humility, obedience and suffering love in looking to become a radiant witness of Christianity. As a key example, Fr. Eric refers to a performance by Mandy Harvey on America's Got Talent in the context of which she sings a song called "Try."

When we have childhood trauma our natural responses are shut down. We are not able to fight or flee.  This activates our stress hormones. It changes our body and puts us into a sympathetic state, to ready us to  fight, flight or freeze; but when we can't, when we're impaired, we have to stay frozen in that situation.Our body's stress response does not shut off. Our hormones continue to be elevated. And so, what happens over time, if we are constantly experiencing that stress over and over, it changes our biology.In this episode Mandy Harvey shares her, LOVE Methodology, to help us return to the parasympathetic state.Connect with Mandy on the web https://mandylharvey.com/See this video on The Transform Your Mind YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@MyhelpsUs/videosTo see a transcripts of this audio as well as links to all the advertisers on the show page https://blog.myhelps.us/Follow Transform Your Mind on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/myrnamyoung/Follow Transform Your mind on Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100063738390977Please leave a rating and review on iTunes https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/transform-your-mind/id1144973094

I think we all know someone or more than one person who might suffer with some type of chronic health issue or autoimmune condition. It is a very common experience. But there is a correlation between developing that later in life and what we experience in our early childhood. And What's really interesting to mean is that our protocols currently to care for our chronic health issues to care for our our autoimmune condition are often focused on our diet, which is an important element. It's focus on our lifestyle, which is also important and perhaps some medication But the people that I work with off and don't resolve their health issues or don't feel a sense of relief with those three pillars. And in my own hinge of being a functional nutritional therapy practitioner. And someone who is also experiencing practice I started to really dive into the under eigenvalues of why would I like get... Why would someone struggle to improve their health when they're eating the right things. When they are moving their bodies in the right way, and they're feeling some relief, but they're really not able to get over the edge of feeling like they're able to thrive in their life. And as I started to, I need cover and discover kind of the correlation between our early childhood experiences in our house leader in life, that really showed to help me see this many piece that we often don't. We don't include in our protocols we're not told about it, and That was also the key for myself and it comes down to what I like to talk about in terms of emotions in our immune system. So emotions in general, they have one fundamental function. And that really our emotions that you think about them is to allow what is healthy, what is nourishing and what a supportive for us, allowing my into our life and Our emotions can also help us keep out what is toxic and dangerous. They can become this filter for us. They can be this kind of this roadmap map if you will to help and and know which what helpful for us and what isn't helpful. But that is also the role of our immune system. Our immune system does exactly the thing It's to keep out what's toxic and to let in what's nourishing lighting in the nutrients of vitamins, the healthy bacteria, and to keep out and destroy what isn't healthy and a port of? So the emotional in the immune system are exactly the same function. So when we experience something traumatic in childhood, or even if we well, meaning, parents, but they unfortunately just didn't meet our needs as a child, And we learn that we need to refresh our emotions or we learn to hold shame about who we are and how we're how how we're feeling or we are taught that we are you know, we believe are bad or wrong because of experiences we've had in childhood. We start to refresh ourselves physically, and that can have an impact on our immune system. So the more that we learn to sorry emotions and the more that we impress ourselves just in general, the more impact it has in our immune. So when we going a little bit deeper in the childhood when we have a traumatic experience in childhood or we have ongoing traumatic experiences like abuse or an neglect or emotionally unavailable. Caretaker or anything in the realm of that. We our bodies go through a process to activate our stress hormone. So say we experience them. Fall our body goes to the process of activating our adrenals and activating our hormones months that process is meant to help us ready our body to site a threat to run away from the threat or and you know, get ourselves to safety but as the child oftentimes, if we're experiencing abuse on a regular basis, we or any of these instructions circumstances would... I just shared. We're not able to   Lorilee Binstock  00:08:48  Mhmm.   Mandy Harvey  00:08:47  run away or fight our abuse in most cases. And so the body cannot turn off those functions once it has started. And what happens is one that trauma as a child gets stuck in our body and in our psyche, but to that stress of that trauma. And the activation of our stress hormones. To ready our body to fight or flee that process start to impact our biology, and it essentially, makes us more susceptible to getting stressed. Faster. So if you think about we experience something like that in childhood, and as we become an adult. We may... If we have not, healed those experiences and we're we've learned to of physically that stress response becomes faster and found   Lorilee Binstock  00:09:41  Mm-mm   Mandy Harvey  00:09:42  share and faster. We experience stress an adult And eventually, our bodies just get out. We can only handle so much. Before our bodies burn out, and then we start to develop these chronic health issues because of the impact, that that's stressed. Had had on our immune system and the be rep refreshing of those emotions and the energy of those emotions in our body starts to deteriorate our health, and then we start to develop these health issues.   Lorilee Binstock  00:10:09  Wow, you know, I manic experiencing was so vital in my healing and understanding trauma when I was first seeking help in twenty twenty and residential treatment   Mandy Harvey  00:10:30  Yeah.   Lorilee Binstock  00:10:29  experiencing was a big part of it. And so I'm able to kind of understand that I obviously have my moments where I've I I can't really think logically and rash about what's actually happening in my brain, But you know, I I think you know this. I I actually tour my Acl recently. And I just got surgery a couple weeks ago. And my husband has got as in a way   Mandy Harvey  00:10:56  Oh,   Lorilee Binstock  00:10:56  So I I feel like my stress level is so heightened, and I feel like I have been so just   Mandy Harvey  00:11:02  Yeah.   Lorilee Binstock  00:11:05  so completely reactive with my children, and I realized when I was... I just like, downstairs stairs, and we live in you know... It's like three stories and Capitol Hill very narrow and tall. And my children I heard them on the third floor, screaming. And, like, immediately, I just felt like everything just ten up because, typically, if they're screaming, I'm like, okay.   Mandy Harvey  00:11:31  Yes.   Lorilee Binstock  00:11:30  I'll be there. But now, but I'm like, oh my gosh. It's gonna take me forever to get the stairs right now. Like, I don't know what's gonna happen. And I started getting stressed out and angry and upset. And I... You know, I just imagine a wounded animal in the forest and just like   Mandy Harvey  00:11:43  Yeah.   Lorilee Binstock  00:11:45  being wounded and, like, just the sound of wrestling will like, really heighten their awareness of what's what's happening. Am I am I going to die right now? Because that's that's the feeling I was getting. But, yes, no. I I just but that just an understanding of from so experiencing has been so vital. For me, and I wanna get into how you're working that into the programs that you're providing for people, but I do wanted to I do wanna ask, like, if you are comfortable in telling your personal story because I know for for me, most of the... The my my podcast in the trauma survivor driver's podcast. And the majority of people, if not all of the people who come on really their they're gift of helping people from healing their own their own toe   Mandy Harvey  00:12:38  Yeah.   Lorilee Binstock  00:12:38  their own experiences and trauma that they have experienced. So   Mandy Harvey  00:12:41  Oh,   Lorilee Binstock  00:12:42  I was wondering if you were were comfortable and talking about your own experience.   Mandy Harvey  00:12:44  Yeah. Absolutely. Just similar with you, Semantic experiencing was a huge modality of healing for me that really got me to the other side. I feel like really kinda helped push me the on other side of the healing pendulum, if you will. But I always... I say that I was born into I was born to a single mother who was operating from her own trauma   Lorilee Binstock  00:13:12  Mhmm.   Mandy Harvey  00:13:15  and she had men come in and out of our life. And those men weren't the greatest, and were often very abusive. Kidney   Lorilee Binstock  00:13:24  Yeah.   Mandy Harvey  00:13:25  So from a very young age, I experience sexual abuse from these men and from the age of five, to the age of fourteen, and my relationship with my mother was one that she was not home. She's not around very often. She was single parent in most of the years and she was working multiple jobs. So I became I had to become very independent to just serve five, and she was not available physically. Most of the time, So I learned to just kinda take care of myself and live in this very un unsettling. Level. I'm loving if you will home. And from a very early age learning to detach from my body. Because so many things that happened to me, I just didn't wanna feel anything and just learned to survive. And what I learned, how I learned to survive was and very important because I have sure I survived it. I've gotten to the other side of it. But at the around the age of thirteen, she married An individual who I was a police office and was very abusive and manipulative.   Lorilee Binstock  00:14:42  Mm-mm.   Mandy Harvey  00:14:43  And took the abuse to a whole new level. With me. And would use his power to abuse more and more and more. And eventually, I told someone in school, what was going on, I told them what was happening in the sexual abuse I was experiencing from this individual. And social workers got involved, You know, the whole process and started to unravel And I became Very nervous about talking to my mom about this because I had already talked to her once.   Lorilee Binstock  00:15:26  Mm-mm   Mandy Harvey  00:15:25  And told her what had been happening why he'd been doing and she said, you know, all talk to him. I'll make sure he, you know, he stopped that.   Lorilee Binstock  00:15:37  Yeah.   Mandy Harvey  00:15:37  And nothing changed. So when I talk to show that day after speaking to a account school and then telling me we will need to report this. In social worker will get involved and most likely, he'll be arrested and you know, all the things that happen as a result of that. I got real nervous. And I know well, can I please, you know, touch my mom before you make that call, I believe it was a Friday or or a Thursday was towards the end of a week? And my mom's pattern and I every day does she at home from work because we go in this walk. It was the only moment in our day that was semi my human. Where we could tap into some sort of connection. And so at the end of that walk, I shared with her, Hey. This is what happened at school today. I shared this with counselor. They told me blah blah blah blah blah. She turned me with rage in her eyes. And anger and said how could you do destroy our family   Lorilee Binstock  00:16:38  Oh my gosh.   Mandy Harvey  00:16:41  How could you do that chance? And it was in the moment. That was a pivotal moment in my life because I took on the beliefs that my intuition was wrong. That   Lorilee Binstock  00:16:54  Yeah. Question.   Mandy Harvey  00:16:56  I didn't know how to make good decisions for myself in that. And, you know, throughout my adult life, I gave away all dungeon making power over my life because of that moment. So it became a pivotal moment in my healing process, but what happened after that was a couple days later, That was reported. He was put into jail. He was released out on bond. There was restraining order. So we... My mom and I were essentially, you know, kind of navigating this world. I was send to the police I was picked up at school when day by a police officer and interrogated for hours on end. I think they were trying to break me or   Lorilee Binstock  00:17:43  No.   Mandy Harvey  00:17:45  if I was lying about what had... I had a experienced, Of course, I was not, and that was also another traumatic moment having to relive and talk through exactly what I'd happened to me to two men in this room without a social worker. Without any other support in the room it was very traumatic. After that occurred a couple days later, I came home from school and found suicide letter. From both him and my mother. And they were gone. No nowhere to be found. So I was... I moved in with some family members. And it was a a couple days later where they were found. They had taken their life. Shop themselves.   Lorilee Binstock  00:18:34  Oh my goodness.   Mandy Harvey  00:18:35  Yeah. And that became also huge moment of evidence for me about my decision making really wrong because it created such destruction. My entire your life changed in a moment. From No longer having a mother and, you know, in the at the in the early years, I wanted her even though she was or not, emotionally available even though she was not neglect, even though she was alarming and abused happened to me and putting me in these very unhealthy situations. I still wanted her. Choose my mom. And you know, that's the interesting dynamics when we're children that I attachment versus authenticity. We attach to our caregivers regardless because we need that need we need to feel like we belong some way And that was really hard. It was very hard that you can imagine. I start a therapy you started Em or Amd about Yep.   Lorilee Binstock  00:19:37  In. Oh, wow.   Mandy Harvey  00:19:39  Right away to start to work on the guilt. Because I felt like, I was the one that pulled the trigger essentially, I took our lives.   Lorilee Binstock  00:19:48  Well,   Mandy Harvey  00:19:49  So I spent years I took my high school years going through Ed, and about my sophomore year, I started to get really just done. I felt I didn't wanna talk about it anymore. I didn't... My body started to really a and hurt and all I could think about, which I just wanna see my mom again. And I attempted to take my life when I was fifteen years old.   Lorilee Binstock  00:20:14  Mhmm   Mandy Harvey  00:20:13  I had a near death experience I took and swallowed a whole bottle of sleeping pills one day at school. Pass out. The only thing I remember is waking up to this beautiful, like, super warm super loving golden light, essentially. Like, the most powerful feeling you could ever imagine and time it by a thousand. And I can remember thinking, oh my gosh. I've made it. I'm gonna get to see my mom again. I just like, you waited   Lorilee Binstock  00:20:46  Oh my gosh.   Mandy Harvey  00:20:48  was because I had missed her so much. And I remember thinking, oh, gosh. Can't wait. To can't wait. When do I get to see her? And I felt hand I felt pressure on my chest, and I was being pushed back away. And the only thing I heard was it's not your time. And I welcome   Lorilee Binstock  00:21:13  Wow. That's powerful.   Mandy Harvey  00:21:15  it was so powerful. I woke up to the end of the day. Kids were washing out of school, and I was like, what happened.   Lorilee Binstock  00:21:25  Yeah   Mandy Harvey  00:21:26  I was just there. I was just there bike what's wrong with me? Why can I just do this? I made it home. I I gotta ride home, and I started to loosen. I started to have these really strange reactions to the sleep being told in my body, and I was shaking. I was just like, out of my mind and called nine eleven one, and they put me into Icu for a couple of days. And then admitted me to a mental institution for period of time so that I could undergo some intense treatment and was diagnosed with Ptsd.   Lorilee Binstock  00:22:09  mm-mm   Mandy Harvey  00:22:10  Put on some medication. Some antidepressants, and that really became him intense treatment and therapy for a period of time, and then I continued my therapy outside of that till the end of high school. You know, I graduated high school, and I graduated treatment and I was like, right. Life here I come. But what I didn't realize was, you know, the layers and layers and layer and layers of that experience. I had gone through four years of therapy and thought, Okay. Like, I had to touched it all. Right? Like, I'm good. But as an adult, I started to become very upset. With things being perfect. I started to affect my outer world. Like a magazine. That you would see, you know, like, the cover of, like, home and garden or, you know, the cover or, you know, when you look at Crate barrel, and you see all of their sing so perfectly, like that essentially was me in my life, I I perfected my outward appearance, my outward home, I was you know, married with kids and everything was perfect, but on the inside, I felt like I was crumbling and trying to hide it. I kept pretending, but everything was fine, pretending that all good. But really underneath, I was starting to experience anxiety. Major stress. And the more I felt just heated within my body, the more I perfected and got obsessed. With making everything exactly as it should be on the howard. Were in the outward world. In my twenties, in my late twenties, I started to have flashback to my abuse as a child, and so I went through another round multiple years of intense therapy. In my late thirties you know, all these years, I've been in and out them unfair of therapy, mostly top therapy except for in my teenage years, I went to em r. But in my late thirties, all of a sudden in I started feeling and rage in my body and the way I... I have an example of what this slips like for me, and that was my daughter, my youngest. Essentially beautiful she she's my teacher in many ways.   Lorilee Binstock  00:24:40  Yes.   Mandy Harvey  00:24:42  She has this beautiful range of expressing emotion. She can express bliss and joy. And I'll go all the way to the other side with rage and anger. And she just expresses so freely and in the early year, she was about five around the time that I started having this anger started to build up in my body. It's very was very uncomfortable for me to watch her be so angry at times. And I would try to... I would try to like,   Lorilee Binstock  00:25:17  Yeah.   Mandy Harvey  00:25:14  do everything I could to make sure she wasn't angry. Like, how can I clean her? So I'd never have to hear her screaming because that literally sends like pain ting throughout my entire body.   Lorilee Binstock  00:25:27  Mhmm.   Mandy Harvey  00:25:28  And there was one moment where she was having this massive temper tantrum and I, like, screaming and yelling and shots with angry at me for... I'm sure the stupid is of things.   Lorilee Binstock  00:25:41  As children sometimes do.   Mandy Harvey  00:25:42  Yeah. Totally.   Lorilee Binstock  00:25:44  Yes.   Mandy Harvey  00:25:45  I'm sitting... I'm at the kitchen washing the dishes. With my back to her, and I can steal this fire rolling through my body from my feet to my head, and it just hot, and it's burning, and I'm like, oh my god. It she needs to shut up. I I I was, like, what I'm trying to breathe? I'm trying to, like, okay. You know, I can. I can't do anything. I just kinda like a letter her ride this out, but it was like, this this movement was happening in my body, and I cannot control it in it poof out through the top of my head. Explosion I turned around, and I had this glass in my hand that I was washing and I through and another feet, and I yelled to shot. Showed up. And I remember seeing her face was like, massive. Shock and fear. Like, oh my god. Mom never yelled at me. What to happen? She's crying. I'm crying, and I'm like, this isn't not who I am. Like, I don't want to be like, throwing glasses of my children. Like, what That's not me. That's not me. And I knew something was going on. I just could not understand or had the language I'd really understand it. So that's what really became the catalyst for going and seeking soma thematic experiencing therapy. And really, learning how to unpack the story and the energy and the emotions and all the parts of me that were so stuck in my body from all the things   Lorilee Binstock  00:27:23  Wow.   Mandy Harvey  00:27:22  experienced as a child, and I took about a couple you know, two and a half years. But then those two and a half years, I healed more than I did in the last twenty years. Of talk Therapy, and that's when I was like, oh gosh. Learning this about this connection in our body and how our health is impacted. How our relationships become impacted how we the refreshing of our cells and all the ways really impacts and impacts us at such a deep level. That really for me was a light bulb. Like, oh my gosh. People need to know him about that. I need to know about the the how trauma at such an early age. Can get stuck in our body. And you know, that stuck energy that stuck part of us, wants to be healed and tries to be healed. But you know, over time as we don't really live that it shows up in healthy shoes. I show that this relationship issues is shows up an and it just for me with all the things.   Lorilee Binstock  00:28:29  Wow. That's power. You know, I've   Mandy Harvey  00:28:32  Right.   Lorilee Binstock  00:28:33  I found myself in your shoes with my children I think it's hard if you if you've experienced trauma, your your your children are their your best teachers   Mandy Harvey  00:28:44  Yeah.   Lorilee Binstock  00:28:43  sometimes it's hard to see what they're trying to show you. Is really, really hard, and and I'm I'm realizing that, you know,   Mandy Harvey  00:28:54  Or.   Lorilee Binstock  00:28:52  I'm an internal family systems therapy. Which is it's it's amazing. And and, you know, it's it's it it is really hard to see my daughter because in a way, she's like, a reflection of the things that I really hated about myself. Right? Like, the, you know, the self loading of why, you know, my parents would not let me feel.   Mandy Harvey  00:29:17  Yes.   Lorilee Binstock  00:29:15  God forbid. I cried, gone from head, like, I showed motion and you know? And I'm trying to give my children the space for them to show their emotion there times when I look at my daughter, and I'm like, oh my god. That's me That is   Mandy Harvey  00:29:34  Yeah.   Lorilee Binstock  00:29:33  And this is not good. Because I have not   Mandy Harvey  00:29:36  Oh,   Lorilee Binstock  00:29:37  come to terms with that part of me yet.   Mandy Harvey  00:29:40  Yeah   Lorilee Binstock  00:29:40  But I'm I'm... It's the awareness.   Mandy Harvey  00:29:42  Yeah.   Lorilee Binstock  00:29:44  That I'm realizing. So the... And, you know, for me as well with the sad experiencing for me, I was like, oh my gosh. Because you, I think it was my third episode of my podcast were right. We're at ninety three.   Mandy Harvey  00:30:02  Alright.   Lorilee Binstock  00:30:02  But my third episode of of my podcast I talked about schematic   Mandy Harvey  00:30:06  That   Lorilee Binstock  00:30:05  experiencing because I had never heard about traumatic experiencing prior to my treatment. And just not understand   Mandy Harvey  00:30:14  Oh,   Lorilee Binstock  00:30:14  you know, understanding that that energies   Mandy Harvey  00:30:18  It is   Lorilee Binstock  00:30:17  trapped in your body is I feel like it's everything because it's like well, whoa   Mandy Harvey  00:30:22  yeah Or   Lorilee Binstock  00:30:21  then you can name it, and then you can understand it. And then you can find the root to it.   Mandy Harvey  00:30:26  Yeah.   Lorilee Binstock  00:30:27  And and now what you're saying is it's related to all these chronic health issues. And you're right. I didn't really. Even even post experience in free. I didn't even realize that I used to go to the host to the every single year as of a child.   Mandy Harvey  00:30:44  And yeah.   Lorilee Binstock  00:30:45  For for stomach issues. And they'd be like, oh, it's gastro arthritis.   Mandy Harvey  00:30:48  Mhmm.   Lorilee Binstock  00:30:50  And after a while, like, wait a minute. There's this correlate, like, I I've been dealing with the this this trauma from childhood sexual abuse and And then all of a sudden, once I started actually getting help, I I haven't been to the hospital sense for   Mandy Harvey  00:31:10  That's great.   Lorilee Binstock  00:31:11  for my gastro that I was there for a for every single year, at least once a year.   Mandy Harvey  00:31:16  Yes.   Lorilee Binstock  00:31:19  It's crazy.   Mandy Harvey  00:31:20  That's really... It. Yeah. It's similar. Like, I a diagnosed with Ibs when I was a eighteen team, and I always had adjusted issues always And it makes sense now we hold a lot of emotion and you know, At least I do. I hold a lot of emotion in my gut. And what I started to really notice when I became what I shouldn't become more aware of the idea that we we can hold and press these emotions in our body and even these experiences can get stuck in our body. What I started really noticing is when I was still working in Corporate America. Is that I would have a stressful day And by the end of the day, my stomach would be so bloated. From   Lorilee Binstock  00:32:09  Mm-mm   Mandy Harvey  00:32:10  stress and emotion of, like, how... Like, again, that perfection archive, I wanted to be perfect at my job. And so I pushed myself and would take on more than I should never said no. And worked long hours and you know, tried to be this wonder woman who had the job and the career and kids and, you know, just was killing it all places, but I mate meant I held a lot of stress. And by the end of the day, it would look like I was five months pregnant. My stomach would be So so bloated with emotion. I'd have to lay down in my bathroom and just like, train slowly you know, breathe and start to you know, reconnect to my body again. And that was really the moment I was like, oh my gosh. I'm holding so much stress. In my body, but it not just the stress from the work. It's it's the stress of here. Of being chronically stressed, you know, from the moment. Have was a child.   Lorilee Binstock  00:33:16  So how do... How did you heal or or work?   Mandy Harvey  00:33:18  Mhmm.   Lorilee Binstock  00:33:20  Under Ibm.   Mandy Harvey  00:33:21  Yeah. In years, it's been a it's spinach a journey age like, with healing, healing from my past, but it started with it started with a semantic experiencing really helping me understand the language of my nervous in the language. Like, I did... I spent a lot of time really assessing how my body felt in certain in different experiences and around different people so that I could just start to understand when I feel like I can't say no, my body feels this play when I feel relaxed, my body feels this way. So I became sort become this detective of, like, the language of my nervous, how it was interacting with my environment how was trying to cut my attention. And I started to work on healing those parts within me using if and using thematic experiencing.   Lorilee Binstock  00:34:23  Mhmm.   Mandy Harvey  00:34:25  Healing those parts that help the pain in the wounds. And working on integrating them back into my whole body. And then I started working with a functional practitioner. To care for the physical aspects of that, of that stress, which was my ibs. I worked on changing my diet, and my diet has changed over the years, and I think there is no one size that's all for anybody that's what I've learned through my own nutritional education as well in my own experiences. You know, when I first started then, I was eating paleo, but today, I don't eat paleo modified form of it. But I just took out just like... Just like with emotion, I would I would cope with my emotional swings in my stressful days with eating. I was an emotional eater, and I would eat the sugar and the carbs and the treats and all the scenes. And when I started working on that, it really started to shift the diet that I was able to maintain that was helpful in healing for my body. So I worked on that part that emotionally eater her her a lot. And at first, I just you know, when I would feel stressed and wanna eat, like, pink, waffles and syrup was the thing that I wanted to eat every day when I was stressed. So there would be moments where I'd wanna eat that, and I would let myself eat it, but I'd invite that part that emotional either part in with me. To join me. And I would, you know, just have this, like, internal dialogue with part and I listened to her about how stressed she was. And I learned that I was a teenager, and I lost my mom and went through all of that. That's really when that part showed up. That's really when food became a coping mechanism I became something that issues my myself.   Lorilee Binstock  00:36:29  Did it feel like it was a part that you could control a lot more? Than anything else.   Mandy Harvey  00:36:35  When I started... Yeah. I mean, I I feel like that part. Well, that purpose felt uncontrollable at first. You know, when I was going through the emotional swings, I felt like that part took over my life. You know, and I would just rav anything and everything. And once I felt better then it felt like, I had more clarity and I could live my life. But as I started to work on healing them, card. I felt like I had more control of the situation. So, you know, couple weeks or months into working with that part when I would get stressed I'd noticed the need or desire to twenty emotionally eat. And then I could place my hand on my heart, which is I always felt her in my chest.   Lorilee Binstock  00:37:21  Mhmm.   Mandy Harvey  00:37:22  I was... When I felt stressed and wanted to emotionally eat, my chest would feel tight. So I placed my hand there and I tell, hey, honey. I know it were really strong. Right now. Like, I get it. I know why you wanna emotionally heat. But I also know that doesn't make us feel any better. So let's go sit outside and watch the sunset or put our feet in the grass. And that part really liked   Lorilee Binstock  00:37:45  Wow.   Mandy Harvey  00:37:45  as an alternative to eating. So I switched out the more healthy way of coping with my stressful and stress and emotions. And the more that I did that, the more that I stuck with that, when I changed my diet, to accommodate the healing of my gut. I was able to stick with it even during time of stress because I had really done the work to to heal that part to build a relationship with that part. Major you.   Lorilee Binstock  00:38:18  Wow. That that's incredible. That's a great. I'd love internal family systems hair.   Mandy Harvey  00:38:24  Yeah.   Lorilee Binstock  00:38:23  In understanding your part. But that that is that is a very beautiful way to look. I'm, like seeing their thinking like yeah that that that that's that should be healed too. That should be taken care of you.   Mandy Harvey  00:38:35  Yeah.   Lorilee Binstock  00:38:35  Well, will you have a pro we have several programs. Right? For for people who want to heal themselves kind of I I'm kind of. I'm curious to know what are what is what comes with these programs? What is it that you do? From start to finish.   Mandy Harvey  00:38:57  Yeah. Absolutely. I have I have digital courses. I have healing sessions. I have three month long. It experiences. I even do hiking and healing. Journeys, but the online courses is I have a couple of them. There's is one about Burnout, and learning how to rewire your body and get your life back that you can start to enjoy it again. And I have another one that's called which is all about aligning to the success that you want to see in your life. These are online courses that they come with video training sessions for me. They come with workbook. They come with audio meditations. They come with Thematic experiencing practices. But these ones are more self obtained.   Lorilee Binstock  00:39:52  Mhmm.   Mandy Harvey  00:39:54  So that you can take your time going through them. And, you know, really anger into experiencing the content within them. The anchored and success program is thirty days if you were to do a little bit every day. So that's, like, thirty minutes a day where you're listening or watching a video. Or listening to an audio, there might be some activity where you start to assess. Your life in a variety of ways. You would then have practices, like, emotional nutrition recommendations, mindful types of things, thematic experiencing, types of things, ceiling trauma, you know, regulating emotions, nervous regulation. All of my courses have like kind of a mesh, if you will of all of those types topics.

I'm Lorilee Binstock, and this is a trauma survivor Thrivers Podcast. Thank you so much for joining me live on Fireside Chat, where you can be a part of conversation as my virtual audience. I am your host, Lorilee Binstock. Everyone has an opportunity to ask me or our guest questions by requesting hop on stage or sending a message in the chat box, I will try to get to you, but I do ask that everyone be respectful. Today's guest is Andrew Daniel, author of the bestselling book, awaken to your true self, the founder of Cinesomatics and director at the center for Cinesomatic Development. Daniel, thank you so much for joining me today. Andrew Daniel  00:01:48  Thank you for having me. Lorilee Binstock  00:01:50  Well, you know, I was really intrigued. I you know, I've heard of, you know, somatic experiencing, which actually I really just discovered that in twenty twenty when I went into residential treatment. But when I heard about you, I heard I I I learned this new thing, at least in my mind, synosomatic therapy. Could you actually tell me a little bit about that? Andrew Daniel  00:02:12  Yeah. It it is it is very cutting edge stuff. Basically, cinematics let's just start with the word. So it comes from two words, cinema and somatics. So cinema somatics. So the first part is Sinesh. So in this therapy, in this it's pretty much an entire transformational approach. We use video. And so we use video and movement, and then the somatic part, the body. So we use video and movement to watch the way people show up in their body. And then we play that video back of them moving in their body. And then myself or other people in the group will give feedback about all of the unconscious, the subconscious patterns, mythologies, archetypes that are symbolically coming through the body. And not only is it a feedback from the participants or myself, but they get to see it for themselves in their own body on the video replay. So it's a very potent feedback loop that helps people see all of the hidden traumas or stories or blocks and even shadow material that's holding them back in their life. Lorilee Binstock  00:03:36  That's really fascinating because, you know, we do these things. We we fiddle our hands when we we get nervous. We, you know, we even sweat. Andrew Daniel  00:03:43  Yes. Lorilee Binstock  00:03:46  We do so many different things based on the things we learn growing up that kind of make us feel safer, I guess, these coping mechanisms. And I I and I that that is that is really fascinating to me because I'm assuming most people don't know what, like, their trick ticks or whatever are. How did you actually discover this as a type of therapy? Andrew Daniel  00:04:15  So it's about twofold. One, I mean, on my journey of my own traumas and growing up and everything led me to actually a lot of alternative and holistic healing methods. We didn't have a lot of big medical insurance. We weren't into any of the pharmaceuticals, or my parents took me to, I think, a psychologist once But very gratefully, I ended up through my own self help, self improvement journey, came across all of these different methods. There was neuro linguistic programming. There was tapping EFT. There was acupuncture. There was hypnosis. There was all of these things that were actually pretty helpful for me. And I actually got certified in different immunotherapies and and different stuff. And for a while, it it worked very well, and it and exposed me to whole new world of well, a whole new world, really. Because because not only was it just therapy, everything in my life was changing, it was like, oh my gosh. It's not because I don't know the technique. It's because I got all this junk and stuff inside. I mean, that's getting in the way. Lorilee Binstock  00:05:32  Mhmm. Andrew Daniel  00:05:32  And so that set me on a healing journey for for the past fifteen years. And, eventually, I reached a a Plato. I I was homeless twice, even after being published. My software company did very well, and then it just stopped. And I was wondering how and why that after all these successes and learning all of these spiritual and even practical truths and wisdoms, I was still stuck. There were still many things in my life that weren't working. And so I came across work by a a late mentor of mine who was pioneering some of this video and movement work. And so I learned a lot through him, and that really exposed me to this world of symbolic somatic, all this un not not invisible, but invisible to many of us, Lorilee Binstock  00:06:35  Mhmm. Andrew Daniel  00:06:36  information about ourselves in our body. And then so I studied under him for a few years until he passed. And then I took everything that I learned and then started expanding upon it. So I took that movement and video process, and I added in the cinema aspects We use very high end cinema equipment to get a lot of data. And then through that practice, in my own practice, one of the things I discovered to solidify Sonosomatics as my own modality we're we're the discovery of archetypes in the body. And what I mean by this is when I would watch clients move, and I would say something like Alright. Okay. So you're struggling with making money in your life. Okay. Lorilee Binstock  00:07:24  I wanna know more. Andrew Daniel  00:07:25  Right? Is yeah. Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:07:27  This is me. Andrew Daniel  00:07:27  So Yeah. So you're struggling with money in your life. Okay. Well, show me through the body your relationship with money. What is making money look look like to you? Not don't tell me about it. Show me show me in the body. Alright. What is spending money look like? Oh, what does having money look like? Oh, okay. And then what I started to find is that what people said or thought or had an image of in their mind didn't always match the way that their body felt. So it's all about the feeling, what the body feels like as it's moving. It's not a mental, logical analysis. We're dealing with symbolism. We're dealing with the realm of the unconscious. It's not logical and linear. It is symbolic, metaphorical, allegorical. And so I started to see, oh, this person, I say, show me making money. And it takes them two minutes to start moving. When you're standing in front of somebody on camera for two minutes, That that for many people is like an eternity. Lorilee Binstock  00:08:39  Mhmm. Andrew Daniel  00:08:39  And, also, in our own life, If you scale that out, well, what does that mean about somebody? What does it mean about someone's relationship with making money? If it takes them two minutes to even start moving, where most people who are functional in it move immediately. They'll move it in in about one or two seconds. And so I started to notice that there were these correlations. And then I would watch some of these people, and I would say, alright, show me something like giving. And then they would do something where they they would take their hands and pull it into themselves. The the direction would be towards them, and I'm like, wait a minute. Giving giving objectively should go outwards. And so then I would say, alright. Well, what's your relationship with receiving and giving in your life? And they're like, oh, I struggle with this. And so I I started to very, very quickly notice the correlations between the way that somebody represented these archetypes in their body and the actual practical practical results they were getting in their life. And then as we would begin to explore it, we would start uncovering all of this trauma. We would start uncovering all of these limitations and and suppressed emotions. And then as we would move through those emotions and those stories, their movements would begin to shift, and then they would start embodying more functional archetypes And then, you know, weeks later, they would get a raise or they they would have a gift or things in their real life actually shifted from the stuff we were doing in their body. So this was, Lorilee Binstock  00:10:12  No. Andrew Daniel  00:10:21  you know, many years of discovery and learning, and not only working with other clients, but my own journey. I had to go through all of this process myself first before I could even see it in other people. And so that's a long story to a short answer, semi short as it could be. Lorilee Binstock  00:10:42  I I love it. I I think that's that's fascinating. You you develop this through your own observation and built upon that. How long does it take to to do this type of therapy, to observe someone, to analyze, their archetypes and and and really discover all of this. Andrew Daniel  00:11:05  I can sit with somebody and in seconds know more about them than closest people to them in their life. Yeah. It's it's incredibly fast. But the reason it's fast a is because this is this is my job. I I've I've been I've been doing this. Lorilee Binstock  00:11:22  No. Andrew Daniel  00:11:23  But b, is that it is that it bypasses the the mind. It bypasses the heady analysis. And so I skip. I skip all the body language I skip all of the conscious words that people are using, and I go below that. I go to the feeling underneath stuff. So you can imagine I'm sure you and everyone has has had this experience where they meet somebody And everything they're saying, it seems nice and friendly and okay, but you just get this feeling like you don't trust them. Lorilee Binstock  00:12:00  Mhmm. Right. Andrew Daniel  00:12:03  Well, in this work, I've actually figured out what those specific things are, why we get that hunch, why we get that gut feeling. And through the video and the movement, I can actually point it out and tell you why and show it to you on video. Lorilee Binstock  00:12:19  Wow. Yeah. I mean, as someone and and you did mention you've experienced trauma in your life, most people who have experienced trauma Andrew Daniel  00:12:28  Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:12:28  our empaths and can and and can read people pretty well because they're used to reading the room to figure out if they're they're safe. But this is I mean, this is in incredible stuff. Andrew Daniel  00:12:42  Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:12:44  And how long have have you been doing this cinematic. How long has this been you said it's been kind of in the works for about the last fifteen years. Andrew Daniel  00:12:54  So fifteen years of of my journey of Lorilee Binstock  00:12:56  Oh, your attorney. Yeah. Andrew Daniel  00:12:57  yeah. Of my journey. And so there's there's an aspect of that. Now my mentor, he kind of pioneered just as the the the technology has only been around for a couple decades I mean, like, two decades really to to even be able to record this stuff. So he initially pioneered it on, like, tapes Ashley, like, real tapes back in the day. And then so when I worked with him and he passed, I kind of picked up those reins And it took me to get from that point of that foundation to to me turning it into actual cinematics and the places I've taken it. It's been about five to seven years. Lorilee Binstock  00:13:46  That's great. I mean, I feel like, you know, the difference in what I'm learning because, you know, I I didn't even know about any about somatic experiencing. Which obviously we we we now know, and and most people who've dealt with trauma is that you know, we hold it in our body, Andrew Daniel  00:14:07  Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:14:07  and like you were saying, you know, somatic means the body. And I feel like we need more modalities that really focus on healing what's underneath the things that you you can recognize because, you know, what we've been doing for so long has been masking all of the trauma, all of the symptoms. You know? And and and Andrew Daniel  00:14:32  Yeah. The symptoms. Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:14:35  we now know it. That's not working. Andrew Daniel  00:14:37  Right. Lorilee Binstock  00:14:38  That's that's not working at all. So I think this this synerosomatic therapy is incredible work. So how do you have to be where are you located? Do people have to go to you? Is this something that can be done over video? Like, Zoom. I don't know if Zoom's you probably would have higher tech stuff than that if that were the case. But how are people able to experience this therapy? Andrew Daniel  00:15:07  Yeah. It's both. So we basically have two two grades of the therapy. The professional grade is stuff where we can do it online virtually, so we literally do use Zoom. And so I'll work with a client or we have a group workshop. We actually have a group workshop this weekend, and people will come in on the Zoom call. And then I will be facilitating, and then we'll have everybody move. They have privacy and space to move. And on my end, I use my technology to record everybody moving or the client, and then also as well certain technology to play it back over Zoom, and then give them feedback. And then the whole thing is being recorded as a replay, which has another layer of feedback to it. So that's that's what I do most often because it's so much easier for people to to hop on a Zoom call than it is to fly out. But I do have people I do have people fly out. There's things where we can only Lorilee Binstock  00:16:00  Right. Andrew Daniel  00:16:04  do in person. And so the second grade is the cinema grade where we actually have the tens and tens of thousands of dollars of Hollywood cinema grade equipment where we're able to capture in very high resolution at very high speeds a very particular system that we have, and that allows us to go into super high rates and super slow motions to see all of the stuff that we normally would miss just watching in real time. You can slow it down, play it back, because what happens in real time is that sometimes these things were were manipulating other people. We're we're hoodwinking. We're we're seducing. We're lying to ourselves and other people and sometimes not even knowing it. And so it's very off it's very easy to get pulled into someone's story. Right? Get pulled sucked into someone's manipulation, Lorilee Binstock  00:16:51  Right. Andrew Daniel  00:16:58  and no one know it. Well, with the video and the replay, you can distance yourself from that and say, oh my gosh. Look at that. Oh, you're doing this. Oh, oh, this was happening. And so Both of though that particular thing is helpful in person and online. But having the in person stuff we have a specific diagnostic that's called a a slack line. So we actually have people walk on a slack line. And we have various hands on techniques and stuff, as you know, with with trauma and a lot of people just don't get haven't had touch. And there's there's a lot of stuff in the body where appropriate, safe, touch, can, you know you know, activate stuff. I was just reading I was just watching a video of Lorilee Binstock  00:17:50  Mhmm. Andrew Daniel  00:17:50  somebody talking about just babies sleeping in certain ways, the pressure their body parts have on the bed turns on certain circuits, you know, some nervous system stuff in the development of the baby. So there's so much stuff that the body does and holds, and the in person stuff allows us to do those things that we can't do virtually. But I have clients that I work with. I've been working with for two years, and it's ninety percent virtual. Oftentimes, they'll come in for a few days. They'll fly in, and we'll do that stuff, which is like a supercharged in a few day session. And then over the course of the next few weeks and months, we help integrate and and go further with that stuff. So it it works both virtually and in person at very high levels. Lorilee Binstock  00:18:44  That's great. Yeah. Yeah. You know, I I I think there's a lot. I mean, I know I I I do I I do internal family systems therapy, and I do this weekly with my therapist, and I do it over Zoom. But there are things that, you know, are really benefit doing it in person like you were saying, like, the bodywork. When when I was in trauma therapy for residential treatment, it was you were you were given body work each day, whether it be a massage, Andrew Daniel  00:19:19  Oh, excellent. Lorilee Binstock  00:19:19  And, yeah, it it they they I what is it when they move the Andrew Daniel  00:19:24  Lemphatic, Lorilee Binstock  00:19:25  yes. What is Andrew Daniel  00:19:26  or fat, myofascial, Lorilee Binstock  00:19:28  Yeah. They were so there was just a list of of their body work that they really wanted you to do Andrew Daniel  00:19:31  Yeah. Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:19:36  along with the programming that they already had because it was just Andrew Daniel  00:19:39  Oh, wow. You're you're very lucky. That's very blessed. I mean, a lot of places don't know that. Lorilee Binstock  00:19:43  I I was I I am Yes. I am I'm very, very blessed because I feel that, you know you know, I this this place is Sears Tucson in Arizona. I I could talk about them forever because they they worked on some really cutting edge stuff there, like, revisioning, which I I I still don't hear people talking about. But there are also, I think, one of the only clinics back in twenty twenty that was doing ketamine treatments for Andrew Daniel  00:20:09  Oh, okay. Lorilee Binstock  00:20:10  so and I did know neural feedback. Andrew Daniel  00:20:14  Yep. Lorilee Binstock  00:20:15  And, obviously, I feel like, sino sino sino somatic therapy would be extremely helpful. In in that in that kind of environment in a in a residential treatment center where there are a lot of people who are there and who are staying there and who has who can do this. So that's something definitely I think you to think about. But, you know, in talking about this, you know, I I Like I mentioned, I did inter I do internal family system therapy. And I I've mentioned briefly or I think you you've heard my work with psychedelics. I I I've done Andrew Daniel  00:20:48  Yes. Lorilee Binstock  00:20:50  I mean, I've I really, really credit psychedelics. To a lot of my transformation. And you mentioned briefly Andrew Daniel  00:20:58  Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:21:01  about usage shamanism and embodiment therapy that your organization's actually pioneering, and I'm intrigued. I was like, I need to know more about this. Like, you you're really on on the frontier of all this cutting edge stuff, so I need to learn more. Andrew Daniel  00:21:07  Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So it's it this is so Cinematics is a very specific you know, let's just call it the the the method, the technique. It's using the video and the movement. Now there's other things I do with it as well, and so One of the things is doing dream work. Another another thing is doing symbolism work, and we use ancient imagery. Basically, use picture symbols as these archetypes. And so I basically have this three three door approach. We have the dream work, right, this unconscious symbolic realm. We have picture symbols, symbolic realm, and then we have the body, symbolic realm, unconscious. And so dealing with all three of these, what we're doing is not a heady mental academic analysis. What we're doing all of it is actually going into a it's almost like a meditative state. And in this sort of very still, quiet, connected place, we go into these symbols, and we're not just doing it Willie Nilly or we're not just doing it on the surface, we're really doing what's called chateau work. And maybe some people have heard this term, but it's really been, I don't wanna say, appropriated, but it's been very watered down. You know, real shadow work is going into the places of our psyche that we have spent decades of our life not ever wanting to go. It's going into the places of ourselves that we hate, that we despise, that we feel guilty about, that we judge, that we shun, that we literally wanna take pills or take a knife and cut it off and get it off of us and and completely change it or Lorilee Binstock  00:23:21  Mhmm. Andrew Daniel  00:23:25  just, you know, disown it. And part of this work is looking at those things, and not only looking at them, but reintegrating Lorilee Binstock  00:23:31  Yeah. Andrew Daniel  00:23:34  them, letting go of the judgments, letting go of the suppression stopping the suppression. And then this, of course, encounters all of the trauma. And it it encounters the stories in our life that say, Okay. This thing is bad about me. We can't look at that or deal with that. And then saying, well, Maybe we've got that wrong all along. Maybe that was just something we did to protect ourselves and cope with something that was horrendous in the moment that we didn't know anything else to do about. Lorilee Binstock  00:24:06  Mhmm. Andrew Daniel  00:24:08  And now as adults in a safe place, we can allow ourselves to go there and to heal that. And so we do this with the movement. We do it with the dreams. We do it with the symbolism work. And it is very akin to the the the psychedelic journey. Lorilee Binstock  00:24:31  Mhmm. Yeah. Andrew Daniel  00:24:32  But conscious. So one of the things with the entheogens and the psychedelics is is a twofold benefit, but also a limit. And that's the fact that it kinda shows you everything. It kind of forces you. Right? It takes you where it's gonna take you. Lorilee Binstock  00:24:47  Mhmm. Andrew Daniel  00:24:50  And you can surrender or you can fight it. And and so for a lot of people, it's really beneficial because most people Lorilee Binstock  00:24:57  Right. Andrew Daniel  00:24:59  aren't willing to go to these places themselves. Lorilee Binstock  00:25:03  That's very true. Andrew Daniel  00:25:05  Yeah. Yes. So it's it's incredibly beneficial because of that. Now the the limitation of that is are two things. One, is that you're you're at choice by going in, but the choices throughout of it you know, like we said, it it more of takes you there. So it's less of a conscious will. Now you our response because you're the one that decided to do it and you're letting go and allowing it to do it. So you're you're still at choice, but it's a different kind of choice than showing up in your conscious awareness making those individual choices. The second thing is the integration. Is that on a lot of these experiences, you're in this very altered state. You're in and out of consciousness, maybe sometimes. Things are really symbolic. And depending on your guide, depending on the container, depending on the post integration, you can really benefit from it, or you could kind of go a little crazy you know, people have had, you know, psychedelic experiences where they can't ground it back into reality. You know, they're they're their ego is blown and, you know, all of this stuff. Lorilee Binstock  00:26:23  Mhmm. Andrew Daniel  00:26:24  And so I I still you know, I think it's an amazing thing. However, in my work, we're doing that same level of exploring these symbolic, unconscious things that you would in psychedelics, but we're doing it loosely. We're doing it consciously. So now there's parks and downsides to this. The parks are you're integrating everything as you go, and you're getting the wisdom. The wisdom is not only in your subconscious, but now it's in your conscious. Right? You're consciously aware in real time of what everything is teaching you, what all of these symbols are teaching you. So the integration is very rapid in real time. It doesn't necessarily take, you know, weeks or months, you know, to journal and talk and figure it out. It's happening in real time. The second benefit with that is that you're at choice the entire way. And so you're the one that's empowered the entire time, and you're the one that's choosing to go there or not. Now this is also the downside. The downside is that it requires your choice, and a lot of people don't necessarily wanna look at this stuff. And so their ego defenses come up. And all of these strategies to hide out and run away, get engaged. And the second kind of downside ish, but just you know, I guess we could call it a downside, is that it's very confronting. Lorilee Binstock  00:28:00  Yes. Andrew Daniel  00:28:00  It's extremely confronting. So the specific way that I use cinematics in this lucid Shamanism work is advanced. It is it is not a beginner, a process. It's not for someone that just walks off off the street. You do have to have a very solid foundation in in many areas of your life. Because what happens is when we start doing this work, and I say, alright. Show me these archetypes. Start moving in your body. And I'm giving you feedback. What I'm doing is reflecting back to you. So this is the shaman part of it. Where a shaman, you could say, one definition of a shaman, is someone who walks the line walks between the two worlds of the symbolic and unconscious with the literal waking state. Right? The waking and sleep realms. The shaman is navigating through. And so what I'm doing in this work is the same thing, just not with any substances. So we're literally helping people integrate these these subconscious, symbolic stories, and data, and archetypes, and making them conscious. And so in that process, what I'm doing as the facilitator is not giving advice. I'm not analyzing it. I'm not saying it's right or wrong or good or bad or what they should do or shouldn't do or anything. All I'm doing is being a still pawn. A clean mirror and reflecting back the truth of what I see. And the video does that even better than me. Now this is this is incredibly healing, and it's an incredibly powerful process that changes people's lives. The thing with it, though, is that I'm just reflecting back what with what I see. And so there's an AA phrase that that's basically the truth will set you free. But first, it'll piss you off. Lorilee Binstock  00:30:03  Yep. Andrew Daniel  00:30:04  And this is often what we encounter, not with everybody, but when I'm when you're when you go to a a session, and they're saying your This behavior you're doing here is narcissistic. You're manipulating. You're seducing. You're completely out of relationship with your masculine or feminine. Oh, you are actually monitoring yourself for the past forty years when you thought you were just being nice. And it's not my opinion. They see the proof in the video of themselves doing it. And so it can be a very, very confronting process. And it's only for people that are ready for it. But the people that are ready to see that, their entire lives change. Everything changes. Their nervous system gets rewired. The the relationship shift. They add I have clients that add zeros to their income. All of these things happen because you you finally get to know the truth, and you can't get to where you wanna go if you don't know where you're at. And so this work helps with both. Lorilee Binstock  00:31:14  That is incredible because, you know, you know, I'm I'm absolutely it's like advocate for psychedelics, but I I do understand that psychedelics is not for everyone. It I mean, being okay with traveling to the darkest parts of your soul is it's it's heavy. It's heavy. Andrew Daniel  00:31:34  Yeah. This. Yeah. Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:31:35  And and I and like you were saying, you know, in the case of psychedelics, you don't really have a choice of coming out of it until it's over. Andrew Daniel  00:31:47  Right. Lorilee Binstock  00:31:48  And and what you're what you're, you know, sharing with loosen loosen Shamanism. I feel that in this this body of therapy, is that there there is this option for those people who are, like, I am not touching psychedelics because that is just I I I want more control control than that, then there's this this option, Andrew Daniel  00:32:08  Right. Right. Lorilee Binstock  00:32:11  which I think is phenomenal. I I you know, do you ever have anyone who's like, I don't even wanna watch what I was doing. I have I have trouble just looking at myself in videos and and and actually trying to analyze. Is is there anyone who ever is just, like, they do it, and then they're just, like, I can't do this anymore. Andrew Daniel  00:32:32  Well, a lot of people don't like looking at their cells. And you wanna know the reason why. What I realized well, do you wanna know? Lorilee Binstock  00:32:43  I do wanna know. Yes. Andrew Daniel  00:32:44  Yes. Okay. So, you know, we we maybe ourselves. We've done this ourselves. I certainly didn't like seeing myself in photos or videos or anything. And I I know plenty of people that don't. Well, Lorilee Binstock  00:32:57  Mhmm. Andrew Daniel  00:33:00  One of the biggest reasons why is because at some level, we are seeing our shadow. We look at ourselves. Well, what what we start doing judging? Well, that's a shadow aspect. You know, we're seeing all of these things we don't like about ourselves. That's why we don't wanna look at it. But then there's also a deeper level. Then there's also this understanding that we don't like ourselves. And then we're judging ourselves, and we don't wanna feel like we're judging ourselves. And so there's this whole stack of stuff that happens for most people instantaneously. And so they're just like, I I don't even I don't even wanna look. Lorilee Binstock  00:33:38  Yes. Andrew Daniel  00:33:38  Now the thing is those people are it's gonna be twofold. They're gonna have a really hard time with this work, but it'd also be the best thing they've ever done. Which is usually the case. Right? It's like the thing you're terrified of doing the most, Lorilee Binstock  00:33:50  Mhmm. Andrew Daniel  00:33:54  knowing that it's the safe, you know, not a reckless thing. But the thing you're avoiding the most as I say in my book, is probably the thing that's gonna move you forward the quickest. Lorilee Binstock  00:34:04  Yep. Andrew Daniel  00:34:05  And so in this work, yeah, People come in. They'll have a session. They're like, oh, yeah. I like embodiment. Oh, shadow work. This is fun. You know? And then I basically tell them their deepest darkest secrets that nobody else knows, and, you know, they they're like, you know, buy. So it does happen, but then I also have clients who do one session, and then they work with me for two years. You know, they keep renewing, not because it doesn't work, but because every single aspect of their life works better and better and better and better. And so after the there's an an initial period of kind of the shock and, like, confirm confrontation and, like, oh my god. And then what happens is you you realize that all we're doing is seeing ourselves in the world more accurately. It's not good and bad, right or wrong, should or shouldn't judgment of this or judgment of that. What we're doing is not telling better stories. It's not spinning things positive. It's just reporting things as is as they are. Not inflating it. But also not deflating it. And so what happens is that people that go through this process, they They fall in love with themselves. They can see themselves. They can see the shadow, but they can also see the light. And they're not at the effect of it anymore. They say, you know what? Yeah, that is a shadow effect aspect of me. I do have this narcissistic thing. I do have the selfishness when I do that. And that's okay. I'm I'm at peace with it because I know I'm at choice, and I'm not doing that anymore. I don't do like, I don't do those things anymore. But I still recognize that part of myself. And so going into these archetypes, we realized that it's not about being one perfect thing. It's about having full access to the entire range of humanity of all of this stuff. And we see this in the movements. People will move, and How they move in their bodies is how they move through their life. The foundational principle of this is how you do one thing is how you do everything. The way you move in your body, the way you show up on the call, the way you look at yourself on video is how you're doing that in your life. It's how you see yourself in in in your day to day life. It's how you move through the world. It's how you see everyone else in the world around you. It's your relationship to life. And through this process, we transformed those relationships. We we help people feel safe in their bodies again. We help people, you know, stop judging themselves and everything. We get people to remove the shackles and the walls and the barriers and open up to love. And become vulnerable, and that vulnerability leads to intimacy, let people in again, and let ourselves out into the world to be fully expressed. Without these plateaus, without these stories of limitations of I should or shouldn't I can't be or I'm not this or I'm not enough or I'm not lovable or there's something wrong with me. You know, we're not fixing. We're stopping. And that's one of the biggest difference too in this work is that it's not It's not personal development, which I also called persona development. We're not helping people build a better image. We're helping people stop everything. We're helping people subtract all of the stuff that isn't really who they are. And through that process, we get closer and closer to their true self. Whereas if you start fixing and adding, all of that layers on top and actually takes you further from your true self. Lorilee Binstock  00:38:06  Yeah. It you know, it's funny when you were talking about why we don't like to watch videos of ourselves. It's I actually had therapy yesterday. And, you know, I have I have an eight year old daughter. She's beautiful. She's smart. She's she's amazing. But, you know, we've been going at it a lot recently, and And you know, I realized in my therapy session because there was a part of me that I disliked about myself Andrew Daniel  00:38:38  Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:38:38  and how I handle things, and she is was my reflection Andrew Daniel  00:38:39  Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:38:44  of that. And so, you know, in in working through that, I had to get a better understanding of what did that part of me need when I was behaving the way that she was behaving when I was younger. And and that was and I think that in thinking about that, today, it's it's I just wanted to be heard, and that's all she wants to be. She just wants to be heard. And so, yes, I'm you know, it's it's it's Andrew Daniel  00:39:11  Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:39:12  not changing who you are. It's kinda I feel like it's it's having a better understanding of why and then just going kinda going from there. So and and and when you were talking about transformation, it's like people who are scared of those bad trips, those those those people who actually just dive headfirst into those really bad experiences, those bad trips, those darkest part the darkest parts of, you know, their souls. That I feel like that is when this the transformation really takes place. Because that those are the things that have been holding them back. Andrew Daniel  00:39:44  Yes. Joseph Campbell's Joseph Campbell's Yeah. He's a great quote. Lorilee Binstock  00:39:50  Is there go. Andrew Daniel  00:39:54  He's Joseph Campbell says, the cave you fear to enter holds the treasure you seek. And that's Lorilee Binstock  00:40:02  That couldn't be more true. Andrew Daniel  00:40:02  and yeah. And that's that's what we're talking about. Yep. Lorilee Binstock  00:40:06  Yeah. And and it's so hard because I know that, you know, there are people out there who Andrew Daniel  00:40:10  It is. Lorilee Binstock  00:40:11  because that that that are careful. And sometimes there are people who don't even know that they're like, I don't believe that there's any treasure there. You know, there's no personal develop you know, there's no growth there. You know? Because even five years ago, I'm like, this is who I am. This is, you know, this is this is this is it. There's no there's no such thing as post traumatic growth or anything like that. I just Andrew Daniel  00:40:18  Right. Yeah. Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:40:35  didn't believe it. And, you know, five years later, I'm like, I don't even know who that was. So there is there is a way, and to transform. Andrew Daniel  00:40:45  There's always a way. Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:40:46  Yes. Absolutely. Andrea, is there anything that you would like to add? Andrew Daniel  00:40:53  Oh, yeah. I got all sorts of stuff. What do you wanna know? Lorilee Binstock  00:40:56  Oh, tell me. What so what are you doing what are you working on now? What is what? What is it the big thing that you would like this audience to know? These are people who, you know, are trauma survivors. These are people who who feel that they have trauma that's lurking that they don't wanna face, what is it that you think they would need to know? Andrew Daniel  00:41:19  Oh, jeez. Well, it's a lot. I Oh, yeah. That's that's there's a a a lot in there. I think I think the biggest thing is And I talked about this in my book, making truth the most important thing. And how that actually practically looks is do you value comfort or do you value the truth? Do you value playing safe and hiding out, or do you value the truth? Do you value suppressing and avoiding, or do you value knowing the truth? And so if you can make the truth the most important thing in your life and use that as your North Star, not happiness because there's a lot of things for our growth that that makes our life incredible that really aren't themselves happy. They lead to it, but the initial thing isn't. Lorilee Binstock  00:42:29  Right. Andrew Daniel  00:42:34  And so if you're orienting your life to comfort and false safety. Now safety is very important, true safety, but many of us have a full sense of safety. You know, hiding out in our rooms and not going out into the world, isn't necessarily real safety. Because, guess what happens? Well, you don't have a community. You lose access to making money, and so you might not have a how you know, so there's all of these repercussions and consequences for things that are ego, would label and identify as good positive stuff. So if you can make the truth the most important thing, beyond these, beyond your stories, beyond any victim mentality stories, even if you were a actual victim to something horrific, it doesn't mean that you you have to keep telling the story for the next forty years of your life and be a prisoner to it. And so if you can align yourself to the truth, and make that more important than any of these things. You're going to have a value. You're going to stand for something greater than the trauma. You're gonna stand for something greater than the abuse. You're gonna stand for something greater than you're suffering. And if you can begin to live and make choices from that place, everything will begin to change. It may not necessarily be easy. In fact, it may be the hardest thing you've ever done. But I can promise it will be the most rewarding. Lorilee Binstock  00:44:22  Yes. It's it's being your authentic self. It's just chipping away at all the stories that we've told ourselves, like you were saying, all these ideas that we were told we needed to be successful, I guess. Andrew Daniel  00:44:38  Yeah. Be enough. Yeah. Lorilee Binstock  00:44:39  Yeah. Oh, well, you know, I I I absolutely loved having you on today, and I know that there's so much more that your organization is doing, and for anyone who would like to learn more right there is the scrolling fortune cookie to cinematic dot org, and you can learn more about Andrew and absent and you can also check out his his book, awaken to your true self.

Mandy Harvey joins us today to talk about trauma healing, mental and physical health, presence, worthiness, and overall wellness. Mandy is a Holistic Worthiness Coach and Functional Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (FNTP), passionate about helping people heal from traumatic experiences, learn how to honor their bodies, and guide them to live their dreams. In this episode, we delve into Mandy's traumatic childhood, the abuse and neglect she suffered as a child, and the dark path she went through that led to a suicide attempt. Mandy describes the process she went through that helped her transform her past trauma into a drive to help others heal; she also explains why trauma healing is so essential and what techniques she uses with her peers to help them recover. We analyze and contextualize why trauma manifests itself as self-doubt, anxiety, stress, and even getting to the point where we feel we can't deal with anything life puts in front of us. Mandy also explains her holistic approach to trauma healing, paying attention to the mental and physical parts, including our nervous system and nutrition.

MANDY HARVEY is an award-winning jazz singer, songwriter, & inspirational speaker, who lost all her residual hearing by the age of 19. In 2017, she came 4th on America's Got Talent, her debut performance on the show convinced Simon Cowell to give her the 'Golden-Buzzer', & afterwards he compared her to Adele. She's also absolute fire with a ukulele in hand. I don't know what's more impressive with Mandy: her angelic voice, her incredible lyrics, the fact she does it all without hearing anything, or just what a wonderfully open & genuine person she is.

After fully losing her hearing in 2007, Harvey became depressed and quit music. However, with the aid of visual tuners she learned how to find the correct pitches when singing.  Heather has known Mandy for the last 10 years, and we will hear Mandy's ups and downs accepting her total loss of hearing, and her journey to sing again and love life. Mandy has recorded three studio jazz albums between 2010-2014. She has also performed at the Kennedy Center. In 2017, Harvey appeared on America's Got Talent, season 12, where she took fourth place. The same year as her America's Got Talent appearance, she published a memoir with co-author Mark Atteberry, Sensing the Rhythm: Finding My Voice in a World Without Sound.  Mandy released 2 new songs recently:Masterpiece  this past March,  and Bought Myself Roses in June.  Learn more about your ad-choices at https://www.iheartpodcastnetwork.com

It's hard to imagine living life without hearing, especially if you lost your hearing forever at the age of 18. But in the case of this week's guest, Mandy Harvey drove her stake into the ground and pursued her endeavor to sing, write music, and “hear” with her feet – to the point that Simon Cowell was moved to press the Golden Buzzer after Mandy's original song performance on America's Got Talent. Since that time, Mandy has earned a degree in Vocal Music Education and has become an ambassador to No Barriers USA with a mission to encourage, inspire and assist others to break through their personal barriers. In this episode you will hear: The mindset of abilities vs disabilities is just a lack of education, because everyone has barriers they have to deal with. I didn't overcome anything, it just took me a little bit of time to figure it out. The mother of all invention is being innovative. I write a lot of music based on how it feels, instead of what I think it sounds like. I'll write specific notes that tickle behind my eye or bother my face, so that I know that I'm right. I'm feeling the floor, and then just opening my mouth and letting go. The most precious gift you can have is communication. I can't seem to explain how joyful I am now vs how broken I was before. I'm living my life and this part of my story – part of who I am. I'm thrilled to be who I am. The phrase “some people struggle and some people don't” - Everybody struggles. It just looks different. Not every single person gets the opportunity to understand joy, or feel love. Be compassionate to people – we have no idea what's going on in their life. With every struggle you have, you have two choices – you can either let it beat you, or you can learn from it. I really don't believe that there was one eureka moment that made me feel not depressed anymore. It was collection of moments – a collection of people being there. I got up once. I'll get up again. Let's go… The getting up and starting over is the hardest part. This is a messy broken world, full of messy broken people. That's just life.

Mandy Harvey is a Holistic Worthiness Coach and Nutritional Therapy Practitioner. She guides purpose driven women to optimal energy and an embodied life of worth through holistic nutrition. Her work centers on the understanding that when we experience trauma, especially at a young age, it sets in motion our beliefs on how we deserve to be nourished.These beliefs and doubts of our worthiness and value follow us into our womanhood where we hold these beliefs tightly to our “chest” until at some point they manifest into extreme and chronic health issues. It's in the unlocking of these physical health issues with holistic nutrition where we reclaim our worth, our voice and our truth and heal ourselves whole in mind, body and spirit.She believes that highly sensitive women, who own the power of their worth and live a life that has been healed whole, become the model for a new way of being and affect real change in a new generation.Mandy lives in Colorado with her family where she loves harvesting fresh food from her garden, painting and spending as much time as possible in the beautiful outdoors where she reconnects to herself daily. Social Media:FB: https://www.facebook.com/mandy.harvey.3551Free FB Community, Welcoming Her: https://www.facebook.com/groups/591527141792588IG: www.instagram.com/mandylharveyMelissa has been on her own wellness journey for over 10 years and has been working in the health and wellness industry for almost 10 years.  She is a mom of one, a holistic health coach expert, functional nutritional therapist, personal trainer, and pre- and postnatal coach.

In this episode, I interview Mandy Harvey who got 4th place in the 2017 season of America's Got Talent. Even though she got 4th place, she was never trying to win. Instead, she was persuaded to go on the stage and make a difference. We also learn about her story and how becoming deaf changed her on the outside as well as the inside.

Welcome to part two of our new Alchemy Series, sponsored by Wells Fargo and Prudential, where we speak to experts and thought leaders to attain nuggets of wisdom during COVID-19. The arts have played a critical role in everyone's lives during this trying time. When crisis occurs, art and music take on a new role in our lives. Whether that is escape, relief, or outlets of creativity, the importance of the arts becomes clear. Dave and Erik speak to two of our No Barriers Ambassadors, Mandy Harvey and Adrian Anantawan, each talented and resilient musical artists to shed some light on the role of art during this pandemic. Born without a right hand, Adrian Anantawan began the violin at nine and has since established himself as a rising star in classical music. Memorable moments include performances at the White House, the Opening Ceremonies of the Athens and Vancouver Olympic Games and the United Nations. He has played for the late Christopher Reeve, Pope John Paul II, and His Holiness the Dalai Lama. He has also helped establish the Virtual Chamber Music Initiative at the Holland Bloorview Kids Rehab Centre — a cross-collaborative project that develops adaptive musical instruments for use by young persons with disabilities within a chamber music setting. Throughout the year, Adrian continues to perform, speak and teach around the world as an advocate for disability and the arts.Mandy Harvey is an award-winning singer, songwriter, and motivational speaker who lost her residual hearing at the age of nineteen while a freshman vocal major at Colorado State University. She pursued multiple career options, but returned to music, her true passion. She quickly became an in-demand performer and has released four albums. In 2017 she appeared on America’s Got Talent and earned a Golden Buzzer from Simon Cowell for performing her original song “Try.” In addition to performing and speaking, Mandy has become an ambassador for No Barriers USA, with a mission to encourage, inspire, and assist others to break through their personal barriers.

Today we have a special episode for you. We are sharing some one on one interviews with No Barriers Summit participants from this past June at Lake Tahoe. Our host, Jeff Evans, took a “man on the street” approach and got firsthand accounts from various folks to talk about their personal experiences. He spoke with Veterans, teachers, coaches, parents and many more people who were taking part in different activities to get their feedback and their personal takeaways.Jeff meets up with Lanelle, a participant who just took part in the No Barriers activity: The Amazing Race. Like the show on TV teams move through various obstacles and work together to complete the challenges. The No Barriers version is all accessible and you might be paired up with a blind person, someone who is using a wheelchair, or a family of 4! The half day event proves that these physical differences aren't important when you unite around a common Vision. Lanelle is taking part in the No Barriers Warriors (she's a special educator) and hopes to bring back the lessons she learns here at the Summit and during Warriors expeditions to bring back to her students.Next, Jeff connects with a trio of Warriors who also just wrapped up at the Amazing Race. One participant speaks about starting her own Non profit dedicated to encouraging Veterans to choose meditation over medication. Having previously completed a Warriors program she had taken a hiatus but speaks to the importance of coming to the Summit to reconnect with her teammates:"It gets lonely out there and coming to events like this it reminds you of why you're doing it, but it also helps you find your battle buddies. We look out for each other, we keep each other going and it's good to come back together and reengage - to link arms and go back out in the world." The trio is headed together to Mt. Baker and then Mt. Rainier following the Summit. Jeff wishes them the best and heads to his next activity: Improv.After Improv wraps, Jeff meets Dan and gets his thoughts. Dan is a football and baseball Coach in his home life and he appreciated the way the facilitators broke down the process and got the group to be open, receptive, and ignore their fear - much like he does as a Coach. Following Improv, Jeff heads to a workshop with Mandy Harvey, a jazz singer who happens to be deaf and 3rd place winner on America's Got Talent. He meets with Andrew H. who was blown away by the different tactics Mandy introduced the group to in order to experience music in different ways.  By being more grounded and tuning in with more focus it leads to a deeper experience.  He likens it to his personal meditation practice. Andrew works with folks with Autism and wants to take back Mandy's tools to bring to his classroom. He is already considering using a drum circle and having his students use a tactile vest or even a balloon to feel the vibrations of the music. Another example of No Barriers activities sparking ideas and creativity for people to not just enjoy in the moment but to introduce lessons back home to enhance their communities.Jeff then gets the chance to speak to Megan K. a wonderful young woman who came to the Summit on a Reach scholarship. Megan is almost entirely blind and also has a powerful, lovely voice. At the end of the clinic she sang a duet with Mandy that must be heard to truly appreciate the beauty of that moment. Lastly, Jeff meets with Melissa S., a young woman with cerebral palsy from Leadville, CO, who has also been enjoying her time at the Summit. Melissa and Jeff bond over a love of the band, Journey, and Jeff admits that watching her reaction to Mandy's music brought him to tears. The Summit is for people from all walks of life with all types of challenges - whether physical, mental or invisible. The Summit experience is as diverse as the people who attend and we wanted to showcase these individual testimonies. The next No Barriers Summit takes place in San Francisco, September 2020 and we hope to see you there. Visit NoBarriersUSA.org to sign up for updates.

Conversation with Mandy Harvey, a jazz and pop singer and songwriter who became deaf after an illness in her teenage years and then later went on to compete as a singer on America's Got Talent where she won Simon's Cowell's Golden Buzzer. Simon described her as "breath taking....reminds me of the first time I heard Adele sing." She's got a new album out this year and a new video for her hit single, “Release Me”.

At our most recent No Barriers Summit at Lake Tahoe this past June, our three hosts were joined on stage by Mandy Harvey for a special live production of our podcast. Mandy Harvey is an award-winning singer and songwriter who also happens to be deaf. Mandy was a Vocal Music Education major at Colorado State University, when she lost her residual hearing at age eighteen due to a connective tissue disorder that affected her nerves. She left the program and pursued several career options, including education, but returned to music in 2008, as her true passion could no longer be denied. She quickly became a successful performer and has released three albums and won numerous awards. Most notably, in 2017 she was on America’s Got Talent where her performance of her original song “Try” while playing the ukulele, moved Simon Cowell to press his Golden Buzzer to send Mandy straight to the Quarterfinals. She went on to make the Finals and placed 4th overall. Watch her performance here. Mandy is also an ambassador to both No Barriers USA and Invisible Disabilities with a mission to encourage, inspire and assist others to break through their personal barriers. Though her hearing loss is profound, her timing and pitch are perfect and her passion is tremendous. With support from friends, family and her faith, Mandy continues to find joy in music. Our hosts talk with Mandy about the hard work and dedication that goes into being an award-winning singer and the efforts she puts in to not only keep up the quality of her own work and continue to tour and perform, but how she translates her style to teach others to "find their rhythm." Mandy recently released her latest single: "Release Me" and the music video is incredible. Watch (and share) it here.

Mandy Harvey's story is absolutely incredible. She wowed millions when she delivered a stunning performance on "America's Got Talent" back in 2017 — a viral performance that came after Mandy lost her hearing and almost gave up hope entirely. But her perseverance and faith in God helped her to overcome the most difficult of odds. "It's not our job to understand what tomorrow's going to look like," she told The Pure Flix Podcast. "It's our job to keep walking the path of faith, regardless of what happens." --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Kala artist, vocalist, and America's Got Talent contestant Mandy Harvey found her voice after a devastating hearing loss that derailed her plans to become a vocal teacher. Through family encouragement and the realization that at her core, she was a musician who just happens to be deaf, Harvey relearned to play music and to sing by feeling the vibrations of the instrument along with the assistance of a visual tuner. She shares her inspirational story and performs LIVE from Summer NAMM.

It was love at first listen when I first heard Mandy Harvey perform at a fundraiser for Erik Weinenmayer's No Barriers summit coming up here in New York City in October. Erik, a previous guest on the Pivot Podcast (Turning Pain Into Purpose: Blind Adventurer Erik Weihenmayer on Kayaking the Grand Canyon, Climbing Everest and Building No Barriers), said Mandy was a must-meet, and he was right. Her performance was exquisite, and I was mesmerized by her signing while singing and sharing her inspiring story with the audience.  With lifelong dreams of being a musician and music teacher, Mandy was devastated to lose her hearing completely ten years ago during college. You might already know her story if you are one of half a billion (with a B!!) people who have watched her America's Got Talent audition—that's a MUST before you even listen to this episode. I cried when Simon Cowell asked what motivated her to be there, and she said at “After I lost my hearing I gave up. But I want to do more with my life than just give up.” I assure you, there was not a dry eye in the audience either as they give a standing ovation midway through, including the judges! Even Simon came out of his curmudgeonly shell to say, "I’ve done this a long time and that was one of the most amazing things I’ve ever seen and heard.” I hope you enjoy this conversation with Mandy as much as I did—which she did with the help of a live captioner while we were on video Skype. 

There comes a point in everyone’s life where they hit setbacks. Obstacles enter our path and sometimes they are easy to get around, and sometimes that can bring our lives to a halt. Likewise, some people seem to deal with obstacles better than others—somehow staying positive no matter the trauma or odds that stand against them. I was moved recently by a video I watched of Mandy Harvey – a contestant on America’s Got Talent. She lost all of her hearing when she was 18 years old. But being deaf wasn’t enough to stop her from reaching for her dreams. And in the video she sings beautifully, using her feet to sense vibrations through the stage to keep the beat.  So this brings me to the point of this episode, which is to try. Before you can do anything, even if it seems impossible, you first have to try, and try hard. Key Takeaways You can expect to succeed right off the bat. That’s why, especially in the face of great difficulty, you have to reward yourself for trying. You have to habitually put in effort to keep trying, to keep opening up in order to see any improvement. Just don’t settle for it. Your performance can be perfect for now, but don’t take your eyes off the horizon.   9 times out of 10 the biggest obstacle to our own success rests right between our ears—it’s ourselves. So I encourage everyone to take a good, long look at your goals. At the dreams that seem impossible, and then muster up the guts to go for them with everything you have.

We go behind the scenes with Mandy Harvey to hear her daily habits for success, following the 7 spokes in the Ziglar Wheel of Life. Please don’t miss our main interview with her in the last show, # 543. Some highlights coming up: To battle her connective tissue disorder and resulting bad joints and ligaments, she must work out 60 minutes per day to gain muscle. She travels so much right now she’s often only home 4 days a month, so she has to be ultra intentional in scheduling time with friends and family. She works on her music 40-70 hours per week. Her faith is the most important thing in her life but with her schedule and pace, she struggles to spend time in her bible and at church. The pace has often had her only sleeping 4 hours per night so she’s really had to dig into time management. Personally, she loves fishing and calls her family “grocery fishermen” because they fish to eat. Again, just super, super interesting and inspiring. Connect with Mandy at mandyharveymusic.com.

The judges of America’s Got Talent could have never known that a beautiful voice could come from a young lady who couldn’t hear. Born with connective tissue disorder that affected joints and ligaments, Mandy Harvey got sick a lot of times and then finally lost her ability to hear.

She wanted to do more in her life other than just give up. Mandy shares her audition song “Try”to show how a deaf singer was able to conquer the hearts of America.

Martin and Justin get back at mining that podcast gold after surviving the winds of hurricane Irma. They talk about why two men can't live together, America's Got Talent, and how one should interact with a celebrity when seen in public. This episode is too legit to quit, so you better not either.

IAyumi Hamasake, Donna Williams, Evelyn Glennie, Liyana with Prudence Mabhena, Mandy Harvey and The Great Britain Paraorchestra. Donna Williams is autistic and darn proud of it.  Artistic ability exudes from her pores.   We play her song,  “All Be Happy; A Gothic Autism Story.”   Donna's ground-breaking books, Nobody, Nowhere and Somebody Somewhere were among the first attempts by autistic people to put words to their own experience.  She's also an accomplished artist and teacher. Three-time Grammy Award winner, Dame Evelyn Glennie lives with profound deafness.  She is the first person in musical history to successfully create and sustain a full-time career as a solo percussionist.  We play her horsing around with Oscar the Grouch on Sesame Street. Prudence Mabhena is the lead vocalist for Liyana, a Zimbabwe band entirely made of people with disabilities.  She lives with arthrogryphosis and uses a wheel chair.  Her personal story, Music by Prudence, was made into an Oscar-winning film.  We play Liyana's song, Sugar Rhythms. In 2008, Ayumi Hamasaki, the Japanese Princess of Pop announced that she had lost her hearing in her left ear.  She had been diagnosed with Ménière's Disease in 2006.  We play her untitled song, called simply, for her, which she wrote after finding out that a close friend had died suddenly.  The lyrics talk about a long road traveled alone. Mandy Harvey entered the Music Education program at Colorado State University. During her freshman year she lost her hearing and left the university.  Though her hearing loss is profound (110 decibels in each ear) her timing, pitch and passion are perfect.  We play the title song of her first album, the jazz classic Smile. Last but not least, the Great Britain Paraorchestra, the world's first professional ensemble for disabled musicians.  This 26 piece orchestra was founded in 2012.  One of their aims is, “To increase the profile and visibility of disabled musicians on the world stage.” We join them in that effort. This program produced and hosted by Shelley Berman.
