Exploring the Practice of Rolfing with Moylan RyanWhat if the way you move—how you stand, walk, and even breathe—could unlock a deeper sense of freedom and alignment? Rolfing, a powerful form of structural integration, offers a profound way to release tension, improve posture, and reshape both body and mind. More than just a physical adjustment, it is a process of unraveling old patterns, restoring balance, and reconnecting with your authentic self. By working with the body's fascial system, Rolfing helps break free from restrictive habits, allowing for greater ease, fluidity, and presence in everyday life. It's not just about movement—it's about transformation from the inside out.In this episode, we talk about the somatic practice of rolfing with a special guest, Moylan Ryan. Moylan is originally from Ireland, where he trained as a somatic psychotherapist, but eventually relocated to the US nearly 21 years ago to study at Dr Ralph Institute in Boulder, Colorado. Moylan recognizes Rolfing's structural integration as a profound means of bringing deep change to one's psychology, a reshaping of both neural and fascial plasticity. Moylan has a private practice as a somatic therapist in Tempe, Arizona, where he offers all things structural integration, neurodynamic breathwork, and movement education as integral parts of his healing process. Moylan is currently completing his book, Living Aligned, a compilation of over 40 years of experience exploring the landscape of both the inner and outward world.Tune in!What You Will Learn:[00:01] Intro and a bit about our guest today, Moylan Ryan[05:33] Why people seek Moylan's guidance and expertise[08:28] What rolfing is and what happens in a session[16:51] The recipe of rolfing's 10-successive sessions and their restorative power [31:57] How Moylan creates a sense of safety and connection in rolfing session [31:57] What intrigued Moylan about Rolfing and how he got started[40:03] The most surprising lesson Moylan has learned from healing others[43:44] Empowerment: Re-embodying yourself and planting seeds of consciousness  [48:45] The value Aikido presents and what makes it unique [50:02] Simple rolfing practices that you can try at home [52:36] Wrap up and end of the showStandout Quotes:“When a person is conditioned to play small, they begin to disappear.” [18:34]“Rolfing helps people to move away from reacting to old limiting scripts into developing full responsibility, further wellbeing and dharma.” [24:08]“It's only when we have a front and a back awareness that we can have a center; if we don't have a front and back awareness, you've to create a false center, which is being self-centered.” [26:16]Resources Mentioned  Reset Breathwork Episode with Katie: https://healingheroespodcast.com/transform-your-idea-of-self-worth-with-reset-breathwork/Let's ConnectMoylan RyanWebsite: https://www.moylan-ryan.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moylanryan/Chandler StroudWebsite: https://healingheroespodcast.com/Mixing, editing, and show notes provided by Next Day Podcast.

Self-Sabotage: Time to Stop Standing in Your Own WayHave you ever felt like you're on the brink of success, only to find yourself pulling back, procrastinating, or making excuses at the last moment? It's as if an invisible force is keeping you stuck, preventing you from reaching your full potential. That force is often self-sabotage—a silent, internal battle where fear, doubt, and limiting beliefs work against your best intentions. It can disguise itself as perfectionism, productivity, avoidance, or even self-doubt, making it difficult to recognize. The good news? These patterns aren't set in stone. By becoming aware of how self-sabotage operates, you can break free from its grip, rewire your mindset, and start moving forward with confidence. In this episode, we talk about the art of self-sabotage, how we get into our way knowingly or subconsciously, and—most importantly—how to break free from self-sabotage with our hero and mindset coach, Katie Wee. Katie is a mindset coach, keynote speaker, actress, survivor, writer, and the founder of Happy Camp. Katie has appeared on TV shows such as Modern Family, Hawaii Five-0, New Girl, and General Hospital, and her writing has been featured on Newsweek and The Huffington Post.

Forgiveness is an essential part of the healing journey, not because it erases the past but because it frees us from being trapped in it. True healing isn't about forgetting what happened or pretending pain never existed—it's about acknowledging the hurt while choosing to move forward with strength and grace. Forgiveness, whether for ourselves or others, allows us to release the weight of resentment and step into a life filled with more peace, joy, and emotional freedom. It is an act of courage, a gift we give not only to those who have wronged us but to ourselves, creating space for growth, love, and new beginnings.In this episode, we explore the transformative power of forgiveness—both self-forgiveness and forgiving others—and how it shapes long-term happiness and joy with Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail.  Rev. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 90K followers. As a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, Lizzie brought a passion for intersectional feminism and queer theology to her studies at Duke Divinity School and Seminary of the Southwest. It was her time in both Massachusetts and North Carolina that brought her into the Episcopal church, where she was ordained in 2020. While grateful for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5 plus years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.  Tune in!What You Will Learn:[00:01] Intro and a bit about our guest today, Rev.

How Spirit Helps Us Navigate Our Tendencies & BehaviorsHave you ever felt an unexplainable pull toward certain choices or a deep inner knowing that defies logic? Our lives are constantly shaped by unseen forces, gently nudging us toward growth, self-awarenaess, and transformation. Spirit speaks in whispers through intuition and the patterns we unconsciously repeat. By recognizing our tendencies, we gain the power to refine them, breaking free from cycles that no longer serve us and embracing the wisdom that guides us forward. The journey of navigating spirit is not about control but about learning to listen, trust, and align with the deeper rhythm of life.In this episode, we talk about lessons that spirit can teach us about ourselves and make us aware of our natural tendencies with Lea Morgan. Lea is a psychic medium offering mediumship and intuitive guidance readings. After a career in advertising and interior design, Lea couldn't shake the pull to fully open up to and understand her intuitive gifts.Her story is one that shows how spirit can guide you throughout your life by providing the opportunities and experiences needed to hone your skills and ultimately be of service to others.

Immersing yourself in nature isn't just a retreat for the senses; it's a powerful way to heal both body and mind. From the soothing rustle of leaves to the grounding feel of the earth beneath your feet, nature can calm, restore, and energize. Physically, it reduces stress hormones, lowers blood pressure, and enhances immune function. Emotionally, it improves clarity, creativity, and a deeper connection to oneself. Much like the myofascial system in our bodies, nature operates as a network of balance and resilience—reminding us that healing is often found in simplicity and stillness. Whether it's a quiet walk through the woods or simply listening to birdsong, nature invites us to return to our natural rhythm to unlock healing and inner strength.In this episode, we discuss nature-inspired healing, nature's healing powers for our bodies, minds, and spirits, and how this can mirror what MFR provides with Karen Remele. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific motorcycle accident changed her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences and educating them on the benefits of myofascial release.

Being present is a phrase we hear often, yet its true essence can feel elusive. It's more than just a buzzword or a fleeting concept—it's about fully being in the moment, connecting with your body, and quieting the monkey mind. While it sounds simple, being present can be challenging in a world filled with constant distractions. However, practices like yoga, sound healing, and Thai bodywork offer powerful tools to help us create the bridge between mind and body. By learning to release tension, focus on breath, and tune into the sensations of the here and now, we can experience the transformative power of being truly present.In this episode, we talk about how yoga, sound healing, and Thai bodywork can be effective gateways for learning how to be present in your body and why it's important with Nicole Kim.

What if the key to unlocking your true potential lies within the child you once were? Inner child work is not just a healing tool—it's the foundation for how we navigate the world as adults. The beliefs we formed in childhood about ourselves and the world around us silently shape our relationships, self-perception, and emotional patterns. Too often, we judge ourselves harshly, but judgment can never spark true change—only compassion can. Inner child work offers a safe, nurturing space filled with love, gentleness, gratitude, and the essential conditions for personal growth and transformation. It's not about fixing yourself. It's about building a compassionate relationship with every part of who you are.In this episode, we talk with Cait deMello about one of the most essential aspects of healing: Inner Child work. Cait is a business and embodiment coach who describes herself as an inner power activator on a mission to help women reclaim the power within to develop their businesses from a place of inner strength.

Self-trust is about showing up for yourself consistently, even when faced with discomfort, and using accountability as a tool to stay on track. Each step, when taken with intention, creates a cycle of growth, building confidence and resilience along the way.

The holiday season, while often filled with joy and celebration, can also amplify feelings of loneliness, grief, and overwhelm.

We don't just digest food—we digest life. Every thought, feeling, and experience we encounter impacts our gut health, making digestion about so much more than what's on our plate. For women, this connection is even more profound, as stress, hormonal changes, and emotional well-being often show up in the form of bloating, acid reflux, IBS, and other gut issues. Acupuncture, a powerful tool in East Asian medicine, helps restore balance by addressing both the physical and emotional aspects of digestion. It's not just about relieving symptoms—it's about nurturing your body and mind to feel your best from the inside out.In this episode, we talk about how acupuncture and East Asian medicine can support and heal digestion and gastrointestinal issues that are prevalent today with Jacques Depardieu. Jacques is nationally board-certified in acupuncture and traditional Chinese pharmacology and has been practising for over 25 years. He has a masters in oriental medicine and has been a Qigong practitioner for over 30 years. Jacques is a self-described advocate for the human spirit, having treated thousands of individuals for a wide array of conditions.

Sometimes, differentiating dream visitations from ordinary dreams can be challenging.

Family estrangement and going no contact are deeply painful and complex experiences that impact both adult children and their parents. Often rooted in unresolved childhood trauma, unmet emotional needs, or longstanding power dynamics, estrangement reflects a significant breakdown in communication and trust within the family. Adult children may choose to distance themselves as a means of self-preservation or to heal from past harm, while parents may struggle to understand or accept these boundaries. Navigating this estrangement requires compassion, reflection, and, often, the willingness to embrace change. Letting go of traditional power structures in parent-child relationships and learning to relate as equals can open the door to healing and, in some cases, reconciliation. However, when reconciliation is not possible, it's important to acknowledge the grief of disconnection and focus on personal growth and emotional well-being.  In this episode, we discuss adult-child relationships, family estrangement, and how to navigate these disconnections with a special guest, Patrick Teahan. Patrick is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), childhood trauma specialist, and advocate for the Relationship Recovery Process therapy model. As a survivor of childhood trauma, Patrick brings both professional expertise and personal experience to the conversation to provide practical advice on letting go of power struggles, navigating grief when going no contact, and how both sides can work towards mutual understanding and growth.  Join us as we unpack these sensitive issues and explore pathways toward healing!

Accepting what Is and managing your relationship with parents who may never apologize or change their behavior is not an easy path. It requires a deep level of acceptance, acknowledging that your parents might not become the people you wish they were, and understanding that healing begins with accepting the situation as it is, not as you hope it would be. The path also involves setting boundaries that protect your emotional well-being while allowing space for the relationship to evolve. Whether you choose to continue contact or distance yourself, the focus should be on what serves your growth and peace. Accepting what is doesn't mean giving up; it means recognizing the limits of what your parents can offer and deciding how to move forward in a way that honors your own needs. In this Q&A episode, Whitney answers real questions from callers about how to respond to parents who initiate contact, particularly when past behaviors have caused emotional pain with self-compassion, acceptance, and choosing a path that aligns with personal healing. Tune in! What You Will Learn: [00:01] Intro and what in for you in today's show  [00:29] How to respond when a parent initiates contact without apologizing [05:41] Accepting your parents: What they did, who they are, and what they can offer [09:06] Accepting your parent resources  [09:23] Walking the path of what was and is with acceptance  [11:57] Wrap up and end of the show Standout Quotes: “You are allowed to feel the way you are feeling about it; you are allowed to give yourself time to process those feelings and decide what change you need to make from there.” [05:19] “There is no right path, but the path to healing starts with accepting what is, what your parent did, and what they can do.” [08:39] “There is no guarantee that maintaining a relationship with a parent is going to fulfill you or going no contact with a parent is going to make your life better or easier; just walk the path that makes sense for you.” [13:22]                                           “It's so important to expect people to be who they have been and be pleasantly surprised when they are not, don't expect them to be different than they always have been, because that's where you're going to get hurt and disappointed.” [10:59] Let's Connect Have a question for Whitney?

Resourcing, though often overlooked, is a vital part of your healing journey in EMDR therapy. It provides you with emotional tools and coping strategies that help you feel grounded and secure as you begin to process and heal trauma. By developing positive internal "resources"—like calming visualizations, empowering memories, or sensations of safety—you can tap into your own inner strength when emotions feel overwhelming. These resources serve as anchors, helping you stay centered and in control. Whether you're in therapy or facing life's daily challenges, resourcing empowers you to reconnect with yourself, regulate your emotions, and take meaningful steps toward healing.In this episode, we continue our discussion of EMDR with a special focus on resourcing, what it is, and how it can support those undergoing EMDR therapy or who want to regulate their emotions and respond to life challenges with a returning guest, Jen Baumgold. Jen is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in trauma treatment. She is certified in EMDR and works with clients to help untangle the knots of trauma while finding a path toward healing and resilience. After graduating with her master's in social work, Jen began her career at the New York Fire Department counseling service unit, where she worked until 2016. During her time there, she provided crucial mental health support to FDYN members and their families. Tune in!What You Will Learn:[00:01] Intro and a bit about our guest today, Jen Baumgold[05:47] What psychotherapy is and why people seek it [07:16] What EMDR is and how it works in healing trauma[09:53] How an EMDR session looks like and what to expect[10:55] Resourcing: What it's and why it's an important component in EMDR therapy[14:48] How resourcing prepares you for the deeper work involved in EMDR[19:21] Examples of resourcing techniques and how they can benefit you[23:40] The role and place of spirituality in EMDR therapy[26:40] How resourcing can help you reconnect with yourself on a deeper level[31:24] Resourcing techniques to improve self-awareness and emotional regulation [35:34] How resourcing can be beneficial in everyday life challenges[37:23] Wrap up and end of the showStandout Quotes:“Trauma is stored in our memory and information processing system different than other memories and experiences, but we all have a unique capability to heal.” [07:32]“Resourcing allows you to know that you have internal resources that you can draw on to get you out of traumatic memories and close it up.” [12:53]“When you have been through significant trauma, it's harder to find and draw on positive experiences on your memory and nervous system, but resourcing seeks to find, draw out and strengthen them.” [14:18]“There is strength and power that come from remembering moments of triumph and doing something effectively.” [34:24]“We all have these negative cognition beliefs, and when we're struggling, they predominate our thoughts, but going to places where your body feels at ease, successful, and connected can override negative cognition.” [34:59]Let's ConnectJennifer BaumgoldWebsite: https://www.lotuspsychotherapyfc.com/jennifer-baumgold-lcswLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-baumgold-b6ba8077Chandler StroudWebsite: https://healingheroespodcast.com/Mixing, editing and show notes provided by Next Day Podcast.

Finding Spiritual Connection and Healing Through CommunityDo you feel like your spiritual journey has left you longing for a deeper connection in a fast-paced world? In the rush of daily life, spirituality can often feel distant or difficult to grasp, leaving us yearning for something more. This is where the power of community comes in. Within a spiritual community, the search for meaning takes on new depth, offering a space where we can explore our beliefs alongside others who share our quest. It's in this collective experience that you find not only support and encouragement but also a renewed sense of purpose and belonging, reminding you that your spiritual journey is both personal and communal, deeply enriched by the presence of others.In this episode, we talk about connection, community, and their role in a spiritual and healing journey with a returning guest, Rev. Lizzie McManus Dail. Lizzie has lived all over the world with her boots now rooted in Austin, Texas, where she is living her dream as the founder of Jubilee Episcopal Church. Lizzie is passionate about the evangelism of a God who makes each of us for joy, which is why you might see her doing silly dances and talking about church history on Instagram and TikTok with her 80K followers. As a graduate of Mt. Holyoke College, Lizzie brought a passion for intersectional feminism and queer theology to her studies at Duke Divinity School and Seminary of the Southwest. It was her time in both Massachusetts and North Carolina that brought her into the Episcopal church, where she was ordained in 2020. While grateful for her academic formation, she still swears most things she learned about being a priest she learned from 5 plus years of working in the service industry and access to the arts in her public high school.  Tune in!What You Will Learn:[00:01] Intro and a bit about our guest today, Rev. Lizzie[05:54] What spirituality is and how it differs from religion [09:56] Why community is important in maintaining and deepening spirituality[15:36] How to make spirituality less strange, unpredictable and chaotic[17:47] How a spiritual community helps celebrate our differences from a place of love[26:42] Tips on how to balance spiritual practices with communal activities[31:01] Doing the work and figuring out your spiritual identity[33:06] The role rituals and ceremonies play in building a deeper connection with others[38:43] Chandler's confirmation and why it was so special to her [44:18] How community has influenced Lizzie's spiritual journey [50:36] Steps to deepen your spiritual connection through community[56:26] Wrap up and end of the showStandout Quotes:“The church teaches us to disagree with dignity and how to be in community.” [18:47]“Church does not replace therapy, church does not replace all the other modality of healing, church is just part of it.” [29:47]“The biggest thing about deepening your spiritual connection through community is making that leap and giving it a chance.” [53:33]“Give church a try, be open-minded and open hearted, if it's new and different, not new and toxic, it's okay, let it teach and lead you and see what unfolds.” [51:18]Let's ConnectChandler StroudWebsite: https://healingheroespodcast.com/Mixing, editing and show notes provided by Next Day Podcast.

Supporting a partner who has issues with their parents requires empathy, patience, and understanding. It's not just understanding their feelings but also actively putting yourself in their shoes and acknowledging their emotional experience. That is listening attentively, validating their feelings, and reassuring them that their emotions are legitimate. It's not about offering solutions or fixing the problem but showing that you care and are there to support them through their struggles. By creating a safe and non-judgmental space and encouraging them to express their needs and boundaries, you are helping them feel less alone on their journey, prepare to uphold their boundaries, and build a stronger connection between you both. In this episode, we discuss strategies and insights for supporting a partner facing challenges with their parents. Listen and learn how to be a supportive partner, maintain healthy boundaries, and build a fulfilling and joyous relationship.  Tune in!

As women, many of us go through life without fully realizing how deeply our self-worth has been impacted by past experiences, societal pressures, or internalized beliefs. These silent wounds can diminish our self-worth and hold us back from creating the life we truly desire and deserve.

Are you a parent wanting to connect better with your children and grow together? Human design can be the missing tool in your parenting arsenal. It is a system that combines astrology, the I Ching, the Kabbalah, and the chakra system to create a unique chart for each person. With human design knowledge, parents can better recognize and support their children's natural strengths and inclinations and help them align with their true nature, fostering confidence and self-awareness. On the other hand, when children grow up knowing their human design, it helps them understand why they might feel or act differently from others and reassures them that their unique traits are valuable. Parents who use human design to nurture their child's intuition can create a more harmonious and supportive home environment. This approach encourages open communication and mutual respect, allowing children to develop a strong sense of self and navigate the world more quickly and confidently.In this episode, our return guest, Zach Carlsen, will do a live reading of Chandler's kids to demonstrate how human design can help parents better connect and communicate with their kids and support them as they grow. Zach has been coaching and educating professionally for the last decade.
