Podcasts about self healing

Have you ever felt stuck when it comes to self-love — or wondered why trying to "love yourself more" doesn't always work? In this Questions (IQ) episode from the archives, Brandy Gillmore shares a surprisingly simple yet powerful shift that can help unlock genuine self-love — without forcing affirmations or fighting your mind. So often, people try to think their way into self-love, only to feel blocked by inner criticism, feelings of not being good enough, or subconscious resistance. In this episode, Brandy explains why that can happen — and how a small shift in focus can help the mind move in a completely different direction. Rather than pushing the mind to change, this approach works with it — creating space for self-love to grow naturally while supporting personal growth, healing, and emotional well-being. In this episode, you'll explore: Why self-love can feel blocked even when you're trying to "do all the right things" A simple mental shift that can help bypass inner resistance Why self-love works best when paired with personal growth and transformation This episode is especially helpful if you've struggled with self-criticism, felt disconnected from yourself, or want a more natural, grounded way to build self-love that actually lasts. Resources and deeper trainings referenced in this episode are available in the show notes. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal?

Happy New Year! To kick off the year with a bang we're joined by Brit Koch, an Indigenous educator and creator who teaches rest, ritual, and resistance, for a grounded conversation on decolonizing self-care and spirituality.Brit breaks down what “decolonizing self-care” actually means: moving away from the consumer-driven version of wellness (the constant “buy this to feel better” cycle) and returning to practices that are accessible, nature-rooted, and internally led. We talk about the line between appreciation vs. appropriation, including why white sage is a common example and what to do if you already own it.We also explore the recent history many people were never taught, including how Indigenous spiritual practices were legally restricted until 1978, and why that context matters when we talk about “gatekeeping.” From there, Brit shares simple, no-cost practices you can start with today like grounding, working with the elements, and reconnecting with your ancestry and lineage in respectful ways.Plus, we discuss how creators and teachers can engage in this work without tokenizing, and how self-care can expand into community care in a sustainable, meaningful way.You can find links to Brit's books and website here:Rooted RitualsReclaimed & Radicalbritkoch.comJoin our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagicPre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.

Through this real-time mind-body healing demonstration, you'll witness how emotional pressure, self-criticism, and unspoken expectations can show up in the body—and how shifting perception, energy, and practical support can create immediate change.

Silke Schwarzkopf is the creator and host of 2ndAct TV, a YouTube channel focused on recreating and living your life to the fullest after 50! A seasoned producer, Silke owned and operated an award-winning production company for nearly 20 years. Shortly after her 50th birthday, she took a huge leap of faith, left an unfulfilled 25-year marriage, and returned to her hometown in SoCal to pursue the development of original programming most pertinent to her evolving reality–starting over after 50–and 2ndAct TV was born! As Executive Producer and Host, Silke is living her motto: "It's never too late to be the person you always wanted to be."

In working with people over the years—and witnessing transformations in health, happiness, relationships, prosperity, and success—certain patterns stand out again and again. There are powerful, foundational insights that consistently help people create real change—yet they're often overlooked. Not because they're complicated… but because they're subtle, and sometimes even counterintuitive. In many cases, people don't realize these patterns are a problem at all—yet they can quietly undermine happiness, sabotage success, and strain relationships. When shifted and programmed in a positive way, however, they can uplift every area of life. In today's episode, Brandy Gillmore shares two of these hidden but powerful insights—distinctions that can help you step into emotional strength, clear what's been quietly holding you back, and begin taking your life to the next level. You'll explore: Why stepping into your strength isn't about force—but emotional empowerment How subtle emotional patterns can quietly influence health, happiness, relationships, and success Why these often-overlooked shifts can become the missing key to creating lasting change If you've been doing "all the right things" but feel like something invisible is still limiting your growth, this episode may help you see what's been missing—and how to shift it. Sometimes it's not about doing more… It's about recognizing the powerful insights that change everything. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal?

Today we're talking about Gerald Gardner, why he's called the father of modern Wicca, and how a prescription for nudism somehow became part of the origin story. Along the way we sort out a big misconception, why Wicca isn't the same thing as witchcraft, and how witchcraft existed long before Wicca ever had a name.We dig into the timeline, Gardner's rise in the 1950s after the repeal of Britain's Witchcraft Act, his public “yep, I'm a witch” moment, and the way figures like Doreen Valiente helped shape (and challenge) what Wicca became. Then we get into the messy bits, such as questionable credentials, borrowed material, rigid hierarchy, secrecy, gender roles, and why some of this still echoes in modern “love and light” spirituality.Finally, we unpack the Wiccan ethics everyone argues about online, from the Wiccan Rede (“harm none”) to the Threefold Law, including why it's often treated like karma… and why that comparison falls apart when you look at karma's actual roots.Join our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagicPre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.

What if your body has been sending you signals long before symptoms appear—and you just didn't know how to read them? In this episode of The Science of Self-Healing, we explore the power of biomarkers—the measurable clues that reveal what's happening beneath the surface of your health. From blood tests and hormones to inflammation markers, genetics, wearables, and environmental exposures, biomarkers translate the body's complex internal language into information we can understand and act on. You'll learn what biomarkers are, where they come from, why they matter when symptoms are vague or delayed, and how they're used in preventive and personalized care. We also discuss their limitations, the importance of context, and how emerging technologies are shaping the future of health monitoring. If you want to listen to your body earlier, intervene smarter, and shift from reactive medicine to a more proactive approach, this episode will change the way you think about lab tests. Tune in and learn how to read the body's early clues—before disease takes hold.

Your relationships don't fail because of bad luck. They fail because of unhealed patterns, poor emotional intelligence, and misaligned expectations. In this Best Of Harder Than Life mashup, Kelly Siegel brings together some of the most powerful voices on love, trauma, communication, healing, masculinity, femininity, and self-worth to expose what's really breaking modern relationships and how to rebuild them from the inside out. From Dr. John Gray explaining the hormonal and emotional differences between men and women… to Annalie Howling unpacking shame, trauma, and radical self-love… to Stephan Speaks and Cedric breaking down modern dating, breakups, and emotional maturity… to Ashley Maland sharing the raw truth about trauma bonds, abuse, healing, and boundaries… This episode is deep. It's real. And it's necessary. If you want healthier love, stronger boundaries, and deeper connection, it starts here. Key Takeaways:

Lisa has lived with chronic pain and MS for years—and had nearly lost hope for her future. In this live mind-body healing session, Brandy works with her to uncover what was really keeping her nervous system locked in pain. As Lisa makes a powerful internal shift, her pain drops from an 8 to nearly gone—and something even bigger shifts: her sense of what's possible for her life. This episode is a reminder that healing doesn't come from forcing positivity… it comes from real transformation. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal?

Why does setting boundaries feel so hard — and why do they sometimes still go unrespected, even when you try to communicate them clearly? In this Quick IQ episode of Heal Yourself, Change Your Life, Brandy Gillmore answers a powerful listener question about boundaries and shares 3 key insights that make boundaries feel easier, more natural, and far more successful. Instead of viewing boundaries as something you have to defend or enforce, Brandy invites you to create them in a way that they are harmonious borders — rooted in kindness, ease, love, and mutual respect rather than frustration, stress, hurt, or emotional overwhelm. In this episode, you'll discover: Why boundaries set from frustration often create ongoing conflict How emotional energy impacts whether boundaries are respected or challenged A simple communication shift that helps people understand what you do need — not just what you don't Why consistency matters more than confrontation How subconscious emotional patterns (like feeling unheard or unworthy) can quietly sabotage boundaries The deeper connection between boundaries, stress, relationships, and physical health If you've ever felt stretched too thin, unheard, emotionally drained, or frustrated that your boundaries aren't being respected — this episode offers practical guidance, emotional insight, and a compassionate approach that supports your happiness, your relationships, and your overall well-being. As always, if this episode resonates, please share it with someone you love — or someone who may benefit from this message.

We're swapping traditional New Year's resolutions for our favorite tradition: the Yearly Bingo Board. Think of it as part intention-setting ritual, part manifestation play, and part permission slip to dream bigger without turning your goals into a pressure-filled checklist.We break down how the bingo board works, why it can feel easier (and more aligned) than a vision board, and how it helps you reflect on what mattered last year vs. what matters now. We also share some of our biggest 2025 “checks,” the squares we didn't hit (and why that's still a win), and the ways this practice keeps goal-setting fun, compassionate, and flexible.Grab your markers, pull up a cozy seat, and let's build a 2026 that feels like you.Join Molly & Jacqui for the 2026 Opening Ceremony: https://mollydonlan.com/2026-opening-ceremonyDownload Molly's mundane magic meditations: https://mollydonlan.com/magic-meditations Join our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagicPre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.

In this episode of Heal Yourself, Change Your Life, Brandy Gillmore explores how subconscious emotional patterns can be directly linked to physical pain, inflammation, and unexplained symptoms—and how real healing begins at a deeper level of the mind. Brandy shares compelling research, including documented cases of multiple personality disorder (now called dissociative identity disorder), where an individual experiences different illnesses, symptoms, and even blindness in different personalities—despite having the same physical body. These findings offer powerful evidence of the mind-body connection and show how quickly the body can change when subconscious programming shifts. In a live coaching session, Brandy works with Tracey, a volunteer experiencing migrating foot pain, jaw pain, burning sensations, and inflammation that doctors have been unable to explain, even with MRIs. As the session unfolds, Brandy helps Tracey identify suppressed emotional patterns related to relationships, control, and unmet emotional needs that have been stored in her subconscious mind. You'll Discover: How it's possible for chronic pain to move or flare without a clear medical cause How suppressed emotions can remain active even when you "feel fine" Why positivity, meditation, affirmations, and mindset work may not be enough How subconscious relationship patterns can affect both emotional and physical health What true emotional transformation looks like at the mind-body level As Tracy's awareness shifts, listeners witness her experience real-time reductions in pain and burning, demonstrating how emotional healing can support physical change when addressed at the subconscious level. This episode is especially valuable for anyone experiencing: Chronic pain or unexplained symptoms Autoimmune flare-ups linked to stress or relationships Repeating relationship patterns that feel painful or confusing A sense of feeling unloved, disconnected, or emotionally stuck Frustration after trying meditation, mindset work, or holistic approaches without lasting results This episode offers education, insight, and hope, showing how healing becomes possible when emotional patterns are transformed—not suppressed.

What if the reason healing, manifestation, or real transformation hasn't fully clicked yet has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with how the "F-word" — follow-through — has been misunderstood? In this quick IQ episode, Brandy dives into why the belief that everything should be effortless can quietly block mind-body healing, subconscious reprogramming, and lasting change. You'll discover: The crucial difference between effort and struggle (and why confusing them keeps people stuck) How "effortless manifesting" can subtly program the subconscious mind to stop following through Why genuine healing and transformation require follow-through — and how that follow-through can feel freeing, empowering, and even fun How consistent follow-through helps establish new neural pathways that support real, lasting change Brandy also shares a simple real-life moment that beautifully illustrates how effort and effortless manifestation can coexist, along with insights from her work helping people release pain and create change using the power of the mind. If you've been meditating, using affirmations, or "doing all the right things" but still feel stuck, this  episode may reveal what's been missing, and how to move forward without struggle. ✨ Follow-through isn't force. ✨ It isn't pressure. ✨ It's freedom.

Some callings arrive quietly, long before we have language for them.In this episode of the Sacred Window Podcast, Christine Eck sits in conversation with Nicole Stratis, whose path into postpartum and nervous system care began not in a classroom, but in the soil—working organic farms, listening to plants, and learning through the intelligence of the hands.Nicole shares how farming and herbalism became early initiations into embodiment, presence, and slowness, and how these earth-based teachings now live at the heart of her work offering sacred touch and conscious care to women—especially during the sacred window after birth.Together, we reflect on the way plants, land, and the natural world invite us back into our own humanness. We explore touch as relationship rather than technique, postpartum care as a continuation of ancient remembering, and the truth that the body already knows how to heal when it is met with reverence and trust.This conversation is for anyone who feels called to caregiving work but senses their path has been non-linear, intuitive, or difficult to explain. It is a reminder that your story—however winding—is already preparing you.In This Episode, We Explore• Embodied beginnings and unexpected paths into caregiving• Farming and herbalism as spiritual and somatic teachers• Sacred touch as a language of presence• Nervous system healing in postpartum care• Trusting the body's innate intelligence• Listening for the call that has been guiding you all alongIf this conversation speaks to something stirring in you, we invite you to stay connected with us and explore conscious postpartum caregiving through the lens of Ayurveda and the Universal Mother Principles.Learn more at www.sacredwindowstudies.comAbout Nicole:Nicole Shea Stratis guides women home into their bodies through the art of sacred touch and embodied presence. Her path to becoming a licensed massage therapist, yoga teacher, and biodynamic craniosacral therapist began in the soil—working organic farms and apprenticing with herbalists across the country—where she awakened to the profound connection between the earth's health and our own. Through modalities including Lomi Lomi Hawaiian Massage, the Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Massage, and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, she honors the body's innate intelligence as the true healer. Nicole holds space for women to reclaim trust with their bodies, supporting nervous system healing and postpartum care with the deep reverence and presence they deserve.Nicole's Link:About | Nicole Stratis, LMTAre you feeling the call to know more about Conscious Postpartum Care?Reach out! ⁠Schedule a time with Christine⁠ to find out how this work can transform your care business or provide a meaningful career path.Here is the ⁠link⁠ to our free class@‌sacredwindowstudiesJoin our ⁠Facebook Group⁠Podcast Music is Composed by Sara Emmitt, graduate of the Center for Sacred Window Studies.

We're back recording for the first time since Chicago, and we're easing ourselves in with a cozy, slightly chaotic Q&A.We dig into some of the most common questions we receive about deity work, crystals, and the practical side of witchcraft. We explore what it really means to begin a relationship with a deity, why research is always the first step, and how reading mythology and history can help you understand the deeper context behind any spiritual connection. We talk about taking deity work off the pedestal, avoiding ego traps, and building practices that feel grounded instead of performative.We also get into modern approaches to offerings, from translating ancient traditions into everyday acts of care to understanding why correspondences like cinnamon and apples show up so often in spellwork. A listener question about moving countries turns into a surprisingly rich conversation about downsizing crystal collections, choosing the stones that matter most, and thinking about your tools in a more intentional way. And yes, somewhere in the mix, we settle the very serious question of which pasta shape we'd ride into battle.Join our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagicPre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.

Send us a textThis one's close to my heart.In this episode, I (host, Kris LeDonne) share a story about a total stranger who sat beside me on the beach and reminded me what safe space really feels like. No advice, no fixing—just presence. And it changed everything.Together, we'll talk about what “holding space” truly means, why it matters more than ever, and how we can practice compassion without carrying someone else's pain.You'll hear:

Heavy metals and glyphosate rarely show up as the "obvious culprit" behind fatigue, inflammation, brain fog, or hormonal chaos — and that's exactly why they're so disruptive. In this episode of The Science of Self-Healing, we explore how these quiet, pervasive environmental exposures interfere with cellular communication, microbiome balance, mineral status, detoxification rhythms, and the body's innate regulatory intelligence. You'll learn how heavy metals mimic essential minerals, why they disrupt enzymes and mitochondrial function, how glyphosate reshapes the microbiome and binds to minerals, and why these two toxins often amplify each other's effects. We'll also break down the bioregulatory philosophy of detoxification — a slow, rhythmic, system-supportive approach that prioritizes drainage, mineral repletion, lymphatic flow, bile support, microbiome restoration, and safe chelation practices. From the role of sulfur compounds and EDTA… to humic substances, probiotics, binders, and the emotional terrain of detoxification… this episode reframes cleansing not as an aggressive intervention but as a return to biological intelligence. If you've ever wondered why detox can feel overwhelming, why symptoms don't always match exposures, or how to support resilience in a world of invisible toxicants — this conversation will change the way you understand the body's self-healing capacities.

In this powerful episode, Marisa dives deep into the quantum mechanics of belief — exploring how our thoughts, perspectives, and subconscious patterns create our personal reality.We uncover how questioning our beliefs can free us from limitation, expand our awareness, and connect us to our higher potential. Whether you're on a journey of healing, self-discovery, or personal growth, this episode will shift the way you think about what's possible.

Healing begins within—but it doesn't happen alone.

Many people feel a sense of relief when they vent. Others use lighthearted humor to joke about their flaws. And sometimes revisiting a painful story feels like "getting it out." But what if those very emotions — the ones that feel harmless, comforting, or even positive — are quietly wiring negative patterns deeper? In this powerful episode, Brandy works with a wonderfully open-hearted volunteer, Mary, whose experience reveals a surprising truth about the subconscious mind: It can link positive emotions to negative patterns — and once that association forms, the mind keeps recreating it. You'll hear how moments of relief, connection, reassurance, or even humor can accidentally reinforce the very emotional loops people are trying to break. This is the kind of insight that makes listeners stop and say: "Oh wow… I never realized I was doing this." You'll also see Brandy's unique approach to mind-body healing in action — revealing a deeper emotional logic that finally explains why patterns repeat and how they can truly change. In This Episode, You'll Discover: How positive emotions can get linked to negative situations — creating subconscious reinforcement without your awareness Why "feeling good" in a negative pattern can make it harder to break The counterintuitive way the mind pairs relief, connection, or love with old programming Why venting or retelling your story often strengthens what you want to release How self-deprecating humor can shape your identity and relationships — even when it feels lighthearted Why you can feel loved and unloved at the same time — and how to resolve that split A deeper understanding of how emotional rewiring actually works — beyond logic, willpower, or positive thinking This episode is especially powerful for anyone who has been "doing the work" — trying to stay positive, self-aware, or spiritual — yet still finds themselves pulled into the same emotional reactions. If you're ready for a genuine aha moment about how the mind truly works… you won't want to miss this episode. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal? Here's a demonstration of Brandy Gillmore working with volunteers under medical equipment, as featured in a medical journal.

If you've ever tried to quiet your mind only to feel like the mental chatter stays stuck or even gets louder, this week's Quick IQ episode will bring clarity and powerful insights. Brandy shares a few of the hidden keys behind why mental chatter happens — and what so many people overlook that keeps them struggling to calm their thoughts, even when they genuinely want peace. Building on last week's discussion about mixed mind-programming, Brandy answers important questions about mental chatter and how conflicting subconscious patterns can keep the mind looping, spinning, or feeling overwhelmed. In this episode, you'll learn:

What if the most magical crystal in your collection… is the one you've been ignoring?This week we're joined by crystal scholar, museum specialist, and magical science nerd Nicholas Pearson, author of The Witching Stones. Nicholas shares how he accidentally went from music major to museum earth-science expert, and how that twisty path led him to become one of today's leading voices in crystal magic.We explore the place where science and spirituality don't just coexist, they amplify each other. And how treating magic like data collection can make your practice more intuitive and more accurate.Nicholas then takes us into the mind-bending world of flint, the “ordinary” stone that literally changed human evolution, birthed early ritual, and forms in liminal spaces beneath the earth. He also reveals the real history of moonstone, the Roman obsession with jet, and the discovery of a Neolithic emerald crown. His take on emerald as a stone of radical self-worth and world-shifting love is one of the most powerful crystal teachings we've ever heard.Whether you're crystal-curious or crystal-obsessed, this episode will completely change how you relate to the mineral kingdom, and why the simplest stones often hold the most magic.Nicholas' book The Witching Stones is out now, and you can find Nicholas at @theluminouspearl or theluminouspearl.com.

Today's episode is about something most of us long for: feeling healthy in our bodies and calm in our minds – not by pushing harder, but by letting the body restore itself. Our guest today is LD Chen, an entrepreneur-turned-author who discovered the ancient wisdom that healing doesn't come from trying harder, but from restoring the body's natural intelligence. LD believes everyone has the right to live peacefully and free from constant stress and anxiety – to move through life with genuine joy, peace, and appreciation. After quickly building a 1,000-person company and then facing burnout and serious health issues, LD's life changed when he encountered an ancient standing practice called Oneness. He is now the Head Coach of the Oneness Institute for America and Europe, and author of the Amazon bestseller Oneness: The Self-Healing Secret You Were Never Supposed to Know.“Oneness is actually not about learning in the usual way. Most teachings tell you how to learn – how to let go, how to calm down, how to manage anger. Oneness does the opposite: we stand, we train the body to correct the heart, and then we live from that heart.”Episode WebsiteOneness Weekly newsletterTEDx; How AI is changing us- And what means to be humanwww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

In this episode, we go deep into the real reason emotional eating keeps showing up in your life and what you can do about it.If you've ever wondered why you repeat the same patterns, self-sabotage after progress, or feel stuck in a loop of guilt, shame, and overeating, this episode brings clarity.I'm sharing the self-healing steps that transformed my own life after decades of chronic yo-yo dieting and emotional pain. These are the same tools I teach inside the Guild and my coaching programs. When you start applying them, the urge to emotionally eat begins to lose its power and the journey of becoming thin becomes possible in a new way.We're talking about:• Understanding emotional eating as a symptom, not a failure• Why accepting your past frees your future• The role of self-ownership in stopping repeated patterns• How self-forgiveness breaks the emotional cycle that keeps you stuck• What happens when you put your goals and desires first• How investing in yourself changes your relationship with your mind• Why creating boundaries stops others from taking advantage of you• The moment your origin story begins and the hero steps forwardThis isn't about willpower or perfection. This is about learning to work with your emotions, reconnecting with who you are, and creating the internal shifts that make lasting weight loss possible.Because when you heal yourself, your relationship with food changes. Your relationship with your body changes. Your relationship with your entire life changes.If that's what you want, you're in the right place.

Most people overlook emotions that don't feel "logical," but those are often the ones quietly affecting your health, energy, and overall wellbeing. In this eye-opening live session, Brandy works with a volunteer whose unexplored guilt and long-held emotional responsibility instantly change her physical pain—first rising, then dropping in real time—as her subconscious patterns surface. You'll learn why certain emotions can influence the body even when your logical mind disagrees… how hidden guilt or grief can show up as physical symptoms… and how to begin shifting these patterns so you can create more emotional balance, clarity, and healing in your life. This episode is an important listen for anyone interested in mind-body healing, emotional triggers, stress-related symptoms, or understanding the deeper emotional patterns that impact health.   In This Episode, Brandy Discusses: The illogical emotions almost everyone overlooks — and how they can impact your health Why your logical mind can't always see what your subconscious is doing How guilt, responsibility, or grief can quietly show up as physical symptoms Why linking hardship, problems, or crisis with "gift" or "blessing" can backfire — including how pride in hardship or believing self-sacrifice makes you "good" can create hidden emotional conflicts A real example of pain changing instantly as deeper emotions come to the surface How to start breaking these counterintuitive patterns to support healing and empowerment.

Today, Michael welcomes Garry Lineham, co-founder of Human Garage, a global movement empowering people to restore health and alignment through self-directed healing. A former data encryption expert, Garry transitioned from designing secure communication systems to decoding the body's own network of fascia, discovering parallels between digital systems and human biomechanics. His groundbreaking approach, Fascial Maneuvers, integrates breath, movement, and intention to release tension, regulate the nervous system, and realign the body. With over 200,000 realignment sessions worldwide and more than 40 million practitioners globally, Garry's work bridges technology, AI, and human potential, positioning the body as the most advanced self-healing system on the planet. Join Michael and Garry for the 28-Day Global Reset! Get the details here: https://humangarage.net/agape.  Conversation highlights include: * A clear upgrade from the "animal model" of the body to fascia as a structural + signaling network for real-world healing  * How Garry's path—from data encryption to Human Garage—led to decoding the body like a network * The cost of chasing symptoms (even after $2.5M spent) vs. changing the model and methods * Why fascia behaves like a crystalline matrix that organizes posture, breath, and nervous-system coherence * Pain as guidance (not the enemy) and why numbing creates a two-year relapse loop * A daily fascia-maneuver sequence that compounds results and returns sovereignty over health * "Issues in the tissues": how stored emotions/trauma unwind over 18–24 months, unlocking latent capacities * The role of minerals & hydration in signal quality (RO water concerns, 102-mineral approach, tissue hydration) * The free 15-Minute Stress Reset (rib/diaphragm opening) that can release ~75% stress quickly Next, Michael leads a guided meditation to "tune the broadcast" of your day.

It's the finale of our Wheel of the Year series, we're diving into Mabon aka pagan Friendsgiving and the autumn equinox. We chat about why this sabbat feels like a second, decolonized Thanksgiving: feasting, gratitude, gathering with our people, but without the gross history. We riff on root veggies, delicata squash, Tofurky loyalty, molasses cookies, and apple crisps as actual rituals, not just vibes.We also explore how Mabon is all about balance, slowing down, and abundance that sticks from brown sugar and molasses magic to running in crisp air as moving meditation. Then we get delightfully nerdy about pentacles in the apple core, Persephone's pomegranate seeds, and how pomegranate juice can stand in for blood in spell work.Join our Patreon for bonus episodes, magical downloads, and unhinged side quests: https://www.patreon.com/demystifymagicPre-order Molly's book Mundane Magic A Lazy Witch's Guide to Hacking Your Brain, Building a Daily Practice, and Getting Stuff DonePreorder Mundane Magic & Join the Virtual Book Tour⁠: Celebrate the release of Molly's new book with an exclusive online event on Feb 21, 12 PM EST.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis touch far more than the reproductive system—they influence metabolism, mood, inflammation, digestion, sleep, and the way women feel in their bodies every day. In this episode of The Science of Self-Healing, we explore these conditions through a lens that views the body as a connected, intelligent system rather than a collection of separate parts. Learn how PCOS and endometriosis affect the whole body, why insulin, inflammation, and estrogen pathways matter, and which evidence-supported supplements may help. You'll also see how stress, sleep, nutrition, movement, pelvic-floor therapy, and acupuncture support hormonal balance, along with the shared patterns that make both conditions responsive to a multi-therapeutic approach. If you've ever wondered why symptoms feel so widespread—or why standard treatments sometimes fall short—this episode offers clarity, encouragement, and a grounded view of what whole-body healing can look like.

In this solo episode of Money & Meaning, Jeff Bernier explores how markets have a built-in ability to self-correct, a concept informed by his conversations with longtime colleague Larry Swedroe. Jeff ties together research from Joe Wiggins and Jason Zweig to explain how behavior, concentration risk, and market history reveal important lessons for investors. He also revisits the importance of broad diversification and TandemGrowth's behavioral “bucket approach” for supporting client confidence in uncertain times. Topics covered: Behavioral traps investors face in fast-paced market environments Joe Wiggins' perspective on making slow, consistent, and infrequent decisions Larry Swedroe's concept of the self-healing mechanism of markets How falling valuations increase expected future returns Historical periods when stocks underperformed and rebounded strongly Examples of self-healing in asset classes like value stocks, credit, private credit, and reinsurance Jason Zweig's analysis of AI-driven capital spending by big tech firms The dangers of concentration risk—including going to all cash Benefits of broad diversification across public and private markets How the “bucket approach” helps reduce panic and support long-term strategy   Useful Links:  Jeff Bernier on LinkedIn  TandemGrowth Financial Advisors   Disclosures: This podcast is for informational purposes only and should not be considered tax or legal advice.

A woman came to me absolutely consumed by a fear she couldn't shake — a fear that something terrible was going to happen to her. Maybe a health issue. Maybe an illness. Maybe dying. The fear followed her everywhere… and the feeling would not leave her. And she had no idea why. When we uncovered what her subconscious mind had secretly linked together, everything finally clicked. And it was something she never would have guessed in a million years. In today's episode, I'm sharing the surprising emotional miswiring that was driving her fear — and how things we don't think twice about, like emergency or crisis planning or even calling a past health issue a "gift," can accidentally program the mind in the wrong direction. These innocent moments can create subconscious links that trigger fear, worry, stress, or even a silent expectation of the very thing you're trying to prevent. And with the holidays coming up, this is actually a beautiful reminder: now is a really good time to think about only positive gifts — the ones that uplift you, expand your energy, and genuinely support the future you want to create. This is more common than many people realize and shows up in a variety of different ways.  As another example, in recent podcast episodes, I've worked with people who feel guilt about moving forward, guilt about feeling happy, or even guilt about enjoying life when others can't. In these situations, the mind links negative emotions (like guilt) to positive experiences (such as happiness, success, healing, fun, or progress). This too can be incredibly impactful — because when positive things are associated with guilt, the subconscious can begin linking happiness with illness, problems, hardship, stress, worry, or fear. If you've ever: • felt stuck in a fear that doesn't make sense • tried to think positive but your mind kept pulling you backward • found yourself worrying about your health or future "for no reason" • sensed your mind was moving in the wrong direction and you couldn't stop it …then this episode is going to open your eyes in the most powerful way. You'll learn exactly how these miswired emotional links form — and how to begin un-linking and rewiring them so your mind finally starts working with you instead of against you. If you're ready to understand your subconscious like never before… and break free from fear at the deepest level… this episode is for you.

A powerful real-time demonstration of how unresolved anger, hurt, and feeling left out can impact the mind-body healing process.

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER: How hurt, anger, and resentment can impact the mind-body connection  Why feeling left out can create emotional and physical spirals The integrity patterns that were fueling her pain Why real change must happen now — not "when they change"  The deeper emotional pattern driving this family conflict A vivid mind-body demonstration as her pain shifts during the session If you've ever felt unseen, hurt, or overwhelmed by your emotions, this episode can help expand your understanding of your body, your health, and your ability to transform from the inside out.
