Host Myrna Young delves into the world of intuition, clairvoyance, and near-death experiences with guest Kim Bantle, a self-proclaimed "closeted clairvoyant." Kim shares her journey of keeping her abilities hidden while thriving in a corporate career, and how a near-death experience transformed her understanding of purpose and consciousness. They discuss the various types of clairvoyance abilities, the importance of intuition, and how to become more aware of synchronicities in our lives. Join them in exploring what it means to trust your inner knowing and the unseen connections shaping our existence.Dive deep into the themes of intuition, synchronicity, and spiritual guidance in this enlightening episode. Kim stresses the importance of trusting one's gut and recognizing life's synchronicities as a profound form of connection with the universe. With powerful anecdotes and scientific insights, Kim challenges societal norms and invites everyone to embrace their innate spiritual sensitivities for a more fulfilled and aware life.Key Takeaways:Intuition is a powerful tool that can guide individuals through life's complexities, aiding them in making decisions aligned with their highest potential.Near-death experiences often provide profound insights into consciousness and reveal a purpose-filled existence, enhancing one's understanding and appreciation of life.Synchronicities and spiritual signs should be viewed as important, non-random events that invite individuals to pay attention to the deeper meanings in their lives.Many people possess latent spiritual sensitivities, such as clairvoyance and mediumship, often passed down generationally, that remain untapped due to societal constraints.Encouraging conversations on spirituality, especially among youth, can foster a healthier understanding of intuition and potentially mitigate issues like depression and violence.Timestamp Summary3:40 A Spiritual Journey from Reluctance to Fulfillment6:02 Discovering Clairvoyant Abilities Through Personal Loss and Connection10:53 Embracing Intuition and Sensitivity in a Skeptical World18:27 The Transformative Power of Near Death Experiences24:19 The Rise of Light Workers and Spiritual Conversations26:17 A Child's Uncanny Prediction of a Natural Disaster28:58 Communicating With Spirits and Understanding Their Signs36:25 Intuition, Dreams, and Spiritual Connections39:26 The Power and Limits of Prayer in Healing and Loss42:25 Exploring Synchronicities and Dreams as Invitations to Awareness46:21 Unveiling Hidden Psychic Abilities and Family Secrets49:03 Exploring Intuition, Consciousness, and Unseen ConnectionsResources:Visit Kim Bandle's official website for more information: KimSBantle.comPurchase Kim Bandle's memoir: Confessions of a Closeted Clairvoyant on AmazonLink to Transcript https://www.buzzsprout.com/1761155/19672612-intuition-series-the-transformative-power-of-clairvoyance/transcriptSee 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://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/id1144973094Feedspot Top 100 Mental Health Podcast For sponsored Brand interviews and sponsorship inquires please visit Partner With The Transform Your Mind Podcast | Myrna Young Life Coach

THE HIDDEN STRUGGLES OF BEING AN EMPATH — the gift that quietly drains you.If you walk into a room and instantly feel the tension, absorb everyone'smood, feel emotionally hungover after being around chaos, and lose yourselftrying to hold everyone else's emotions — this one is for you. Being an empathis beautiful. But without boundaries, it becomes self-abandonment.In Episode 324 of Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis breaks down what being anempath actually is, why it exhausts you, why difficult people are drawn to you,and how to stop absorbing everyone else's energy so you can come back home toyourself.In this episode:— What emotional fusion is — the difference between caring about someone's emotions and becoming entangled with them— Why difficult people unconsciously search for "emotional managers" — and why empaths see potential instead of patterns (that's The Fantasy Loop™)— The line that changes lives: understanding someone's pain does not require tolerating their behavior— Why empaths burn out — carrying 10 other people's emotional states your body was never meant to hold— How to heal: witness without absorbing, set boundaries that protect not punish, and reconnect to yourself — because being needed is not the same as being lovedChaos is not connection. Intensity is not intimacy. Suffering is not love.Sensitivity is not a weakness — but being sensitive without boundaries issuffering. You can stay soft and still protect your peace.Resources at secretlifepodcast.comTake the Fantasy Loop Quiz: quiz.thefantasyloop.comShare your secret: secretlifepodcast@icloud.com

In midlife, many women find themselves dealing with bloating, inflammation, fatigue, weight gain, food reactions, skin flare-ups and a growing list of foods they feel they can no longer eat. But what if these symptoms aren't just "food sensitivities"? But rather, signals of something deeper?In this episode, we dive into the gut-immune connection and why understanding the relationship between your gut, immune system, hormones, stress, sleep, nutrition and environment can completely change the way you approach your health.Personally, I reached a point in my late 30s where my body seemed to start reacting to almost everything. From severe bloating, skin reactions, inflammation, food sensitivities and significant weight gain, I learned FAST that simply eliminating foods wasn't addressing what was happening underneath the hood - at all.The bigger question for me became: "WHY is the body reacting this way?"This episode explores the idea of looking at the body as an interconnected ecosystem and addressing the underlying “terrain.” You'll learn why gut health and immune function are so closely connected, what can contribute to gut dysfunction and why stress, blood sugar, sleep, lifestyle, environmental exposure, HISTORY and midlife hormonal changes can all be part of the bigger picture.Most importantly, this episode offers a different perspective for women who feel like their bodies have suddenly become unpredictable. Remember - the goal isn't to simply manage symptoms. It's to understand the “why,” support the body's ecosystem and build greater resilience from the inside out.If you've been cutting out more and more foods and dealing with all kinds of random "allergies" or environmental triggers, but still don't understand why your body is reacting, this conversation is for you!Thank you for being a part of our community and investing in your wellness journey!Listen to full episode on YOUTUBE here:https://youtu.be/4wpAfyqDrAcIf this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and leave a review on your favorite podcast platform.

Medical screening is often framed as an uncomplicated good: if disease is found earlier, treatment can begin earlier and outcomes should improve. This episode examines why that reasoning is incomplete. Screening can produce benefit, but it can also generate false positives, incidental findings, overdiagnosis, overtreatment and diagnostic cascades. Dr. Austin Baraki discusses the distinction between screening people without relevant symptoms and investigating a clinical problem, the probabilistic interpretation of test results, biases that can make screening appear more effective than it is, and the importance of shared decision-making before a test is ordered.

Sensitivity is not fragility, and nervous system healing does not mean avoiding everything uncomfortable.In this episode we explore how highly sensitive people can honor their nervous systems while still living brave, meaningful, expressive lives.If you are a highly sensitive person, you may have wondered: Is this discomfort a sign that something is wrong for me, or is my nervous system asking for more support as I stretch toward something that matters?This episode offers a compassionate and practical framework for understanding the difference between discomfort that signals danger, discomfort that comes with growth, and overwhelm that means you need more support.You'll learn the difference between:Comfort Zone: familiar, manageable, and supportive for rest and recoveryCapacity Zone: stretching, uncomfortable, meaningful, and workable with supportOverwhelm Zone: too much, too fast, or too unsupportedThis episode is especially supportive if you are a highly sensitive person, empath, deep feeler, or sensitive soul who struggles with anxiety, overthinking, people-pleasing, emotional overwhelm, self-doubt, visibility, or fear of doing hard things.You'll explore questions like:Am I activated and still connected to myself?Do I still have access to choice?Is this discomfort connected to something meaningful?Can I make this more manageable?What support would change this?You do not have to choose between honoring your nervous system and living a life that stretches you. You can rest, prepare, ask for support, go slowly, say no when something is truly too much, and say yes when something meaningful is asking you to grow.Inside Rooted Resilience, we practice this kind of supported growth in practical ways.Rooted Resilience is my monthly membership for highly sensitive people who want nervous system support, emotional resilience, mindfulness practices, and tools they can actually use in daily life.It is a space to learn how to come back to yourself in real moments: when you feel overwhelmed, overstimulated, emotionally stretched, afraid to speak honestly, or unsure how to honor your sensitivity without making your life smaller.You can learn more about Rooted Resilience here:https://yogiranger.com/rooted-resilienceYou may also enjoy these Insight Timer practices:Yoga Nidra for Nervous System Reset & Deep Rest: https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/yoga-nidra-for-nervous-system-reset-deep-rest_1Yoga Nidra for Burnout Recovery: https://insighttimer.com/yogiranger/guided-meditations/yoga-nidra-for-highly-sensitive-people-burnout-recoveryNew to the podcast?

Here's a Thought… #2706 with Brooks Jensen The Creative Life Is a Daily Habit Every waking moment is an opportunity to make a photograph — but we don't. Moments don't rise to the level of photographic importance until we sense them. Photography happens at the intersection of a particular moment and our sensitivity to perceive it. I'll pause for a minute for you to think about that. If true, doesn't it seem obvious that the limitation of creativity is our sensitivity, not the availability of moments? If so, the challenge of being an artist is all about developing our sensitivity to every moment, not the never-ending search for the special moment.

Have you ever replayed a conversation in your head for three days because someone might have been upset with you? Friend... same. This week on Laugh Lines, Penn and I sit down with psychiatrist and ADHD expert Dr. Sasha Hamdani to talk about something that completely changed the way we understand ourselves: Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).If you've ever been called "too sensitive," taken criticism way too personally, or apologized a hundred times a day, this conversation might explain why. Dr. Hamdani shares the science behind why so many people with ADHD experience emotions so intensely, why hormonal changes like perimenopause can make it even harder, and what we can actually do about it.We also talk about the surprising upside of feeling things deeply, because the same brain that feels rejection so intensely also experiences joy, awe, empathy, and connection in a really beautiful way. (And somehow we end up talking about WikiFeet. Because of course we do.)Whether you have ADHD or you've simply spent your life feeling "too sensitive," this conversation is for you. We love to hear from you! Leave us a message at 323-364-3929 or write the show at podcast@theholdernessfamily.com. (Also send us your weird summer jobs!)

In this episode of The Feminine Frequency Podcast, Amy Natalie sits down with local Asheville sister and somatic trauma expert Luna Dietrich. Together, they explore the intricate world of the nervous system and reframe what it means to live as a highly sensitive woman in a fast-paced world. Moving away from the narrative that sensitivity is a burden, but rather viewing it as a potent, ancient gift of deep attunement. From decoding the subtle layers of the "freeze" response to learning how to honor our internal seasons and contractions, this conversation is a soothing invitation to step out of masculine overdrive and drop into a gentle, non-linear yin space of true self-acceptance.Themes:In an excess-yang world that rewards overriding our bodies, sensitivity is actually an ancient gift of deep discernment—acting as a vital internal compass for boundaries and protection.How using nature imagery can help un-shame our internal states, allowing the nervous system to recalibrate without judgment.Freeze is an intelligent survival strategy that exists on a spectrum—ranging from everyday brain fog and confusion to deep, somatic numbing within our organs and timeline.Fighting the natural need to slow down or turn inward only locks the body deeper into chronic burnout and freeze.High-achieving women often work until they collapse. Intentionally "tapering" down from high-momentum tasks builds internal self-trust, proving to the body that it is safe to achieve because a gentle landing is guaranteed.Integrating your sensitive parts simply takes your high-achieving self off autopilot, allowing all your gifts to beautifully coexist.Deep chronic freeze cannot be fixed with a checklist. It requires an immense, agenda-free yin presence and safe co-regulation to allow the body to thaw organically.SPECIAL OFFER:

Jahnavi Harrison is a Grammy-nominated artist, musician, and practitioner of Bhakti Yoga who has spent her life exploring sound as a path to the divine. Raised at Bhaktivedanta Manor in England, she grew up inside one of the world's most dedicated devotional communities, and in this conversation we trace how that formation shaped her relationship with voice, identity, approval, and what it means to offer your life as a prayer.What We Dive Into:1. Most of us were told at some point to be quiet, to sound better, or to wait until we were good enough. That conditioning runs deep. Reclaiming the voice, whether through kirtan, song, or simply speaking truthfully, is one of the most direct paths back to a self that stopped performing and started expressing.2. Bhakti is not a feeling you arrive at and maintain. It is a daily offering, something you return to moment by moment, especially when you have drifted. Jahnavi's framing is simple: make space for prayer in whatever form feels alive to you, and that space will become a source of nourishment that compounds over time.3. The desire to be accepted can masquerade as discernment, as wisdom, even as calling. Jahnavi traces how much of her own journey involved slowly distinguishing the voice of genuine inner knowing from the much louder voice that simply wanted to be liked. That distinction is not resolved once. It is worked on for life.Know Thyself, but not by yourself. A guided space to return home to yourself.https://www.knowthyselfcollective.com✨THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSORS:https://www.timeline.com/KNOWTHYSELF Save 20% off your Mitopure® Gummieshttps://www.mudwtr.com/knowthyselfUse code KNOWTHYSELF for up to 43% off sitewide___________00:00 Intro01:36 What Devotional Music Actually Is03:12 Sound as a Direct Path to the Divine06:42 Sound as the First and Last Sense09:15 The Sensitivity of Sound and Its Transformative Power12:28 Why We Lose Our Voices: Fear, Shame, and the Voice Unsung16:22 Finding Your Voice and Speaking Your Truth20:17 Discerning Your Own Voice from the Noise of Others23:46 The Missed Flight: Choosing Calling Over Convention29:00 Life as an Offering: Dharma and Letting Go of Outcomes31:54 The Intelligence of the Heart in Bhakti36:22 Nature, Silence, and the Inner Life42:39 Prayer vs. Meditation: Are They the Same?48:32 Prayer as Relationship, Not Request57:54 Kirtan, Mantra, and the Dissolution of Self1:03:25 Kirtan at a Funeral: Sound as Communal Holding1:06:15 Losing and Reclaiming Faith: The Reckoning with Tradition1:13:33 The Role of Trusted Counsel Through Doubt1:15:28 The Grammys and the Tension of Devotional Art in Industry1:21:37 Fame, Ego, and Staying on the Right Track1:25:40 Expanding Beyond Tradition: The Rise Album with Willow1:35:36 Art as Revolution and Service1:38:31 The Coldplay Concert and the Power of Mass Gathering1:43:17 Current Projects and Dreaming Bigger1:51:37 Closing Message: Make Space for Prayer Every Day___________✨MORE FROM JAHNAVI↳Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jahnavi_harrison↳YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/JahnaviHarrisonMusic↳https://www.jahnavimusic.com

What if the Holy Spirit is inviting you to pay attention and respond?In this message, we'll talk about sensitivity to the Spirit — what it means to notice His leading in everyday life and how learning to respond can shape the way we follow Jesus, make decisions, and walk in freedom.Find the notes for this message here:http://bible.com/events/49638506…and if you want to dive even deeper in this topic, explore the daily devotional based on this week's message by clicking on the link below:https://www.livewithpurpose.church/mapfreedomLearn more about our church located in Athens, TX, here:https://www.livewithpurpose.church/Check our SOCIALS:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ThriveCCAthens/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thriveccathens/GIVING:Giving Online: https://www.livewithpurpose.church/giveGiving By Mail: 610 ½ Old Tyler Highway Athens, Texas 75751You belong here!

Whether you like it or not...AI search is the way clients are finding professional organizers now. In this episode, Melissa breaks down three specific client categories that are showing up more and more in professional organizing, and why getting specific about them (on dedicated web pages, not buried in generic copy) is the key to being found by the people who need you most.

In this week's podcast - the Sensitivity of Patient Questionnaires: If you've ever asked a patient to fill out a Patient Health Questionnaire (like the PHQ-9) to assess their mental health and wondered exactly how much of a change it can actually detect, new research just published on bmj.com sets out to answer that question. We're joined by Brett Thombs, Professor in the department of Psychiatry at McGill University Also this week, Are Doctors Scared of Death? BMJ Careers Editor Abi Rimmer sits down in the studio with Richard Coker, Emeritus Professor of Public Health at LSHTM. Drawing from his early days as an HIV doctor during the onset of the AIDS epidemic, and later with infectious disease outbreaks in South East Asia. Professor Coker discusses the profound experiences of the end of his patients lives that shaped his new book, Timor Mortis: How We Live with Death. Reading list: Minimal detectable change of the Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Patient Health Questionnaire-8, and Patient Health Questionnaire-2`

What if some of the traits that make porn addiction harder to overcome—perfectionism, emotional intensity, anxiety, hyperfocus, sensitivity, and relentless drive—could eventually become strengths in your recovery?In this episode, I'm sharing a conversation from when I joined Ania Hulsman on her podcast, Neurodivergent Unplugged. We dig into my personal history with neurodivergence and porn addiction, including what it was like growing up highly sensitive, socially anxious, perfectionistic, and constantly overwhelmed by emotions I didn't know how to manage.For years, I thought these parts of me were weaknesses. Small things could create enormous emotional reactions. I put tremendous pressure on myself to perform, move faster, fit in, and get things right. When I couldn't handle the intensity inside me, I found ways to escape—first through video games and food, and eventually through pornography, alcohol, and other addictive behaviors.But recovery helped me understand something important: pornography wasn't simply a sexual problem. It had become one of the ways I regulated anxiety, pressure, emotional overwhelm, and the feeling that I wasn't okay.And that changed the way I approached recovery.Instead of spending my life fighting my brain, I began learning how to work with it. I developed routines that support my emotional and biological needs, learned how to regulate my nervous system, reduced digital overstimulation, built stronger spiritual practices, and stopped treating every difficult thought or emotion as evidence that something was wrong with me.Today, many of the traits I once hated about myself have become some of my greatest strengths as a husband, father, coach, teacher, and creator.In this conversation, Ania and I explore what that transformation looked like—and what it may mean for sensitive, driven men who are trying to quit porn and build lasting sobriety.Episode Chapters00:16 Neurodivergence, sensitivity, and porn addiction03:45 Building a recovery mindset and lifestyle07:13 When emotional intensity feels like a curse09:27 How escape behaviors developed in my life15:40 Spirituality and the beginning of recovery23:24 Self-judgment, parts work, and emotional mindfulness28:00 Perfectionism, control, and performance34:26 Realizing my brain worked differently38:19 Sensitivity, masculinity, and suppressed emotion42:16 When a neurodivergent strength doesn't fit the environment49:15 Masking, professionalism, and authenticity54:01 Systems thinking, hyperfocus, and perfectionism57:10 How reducing smartphone use changed my mental health1:02:21 Redefining success through presence1:06:17 Morning routines, breathwork, and nervous system regulation1:09:14 Prayer, gratitude, and getting out of self-focus1:17:18 Hyperfocus, burnout, and learning to respect your capacity1:20:25 The one change I would make to our relationship with technologyBuild a Recovery Lifestyle That Works With YouIf you keep relapsing despite genuinely wanting to quit porn, I want you to look deeper than the behavior. What emotional state are you trying to escape? What pressure are you carrying? What does your nervous system need? Where are you overstimulated, depleted, disconnected, or demanding too much from yourself?The goal is not simply to become better at resisting pornography. It is to build a life where peace, connection, faith, purpose, and real relationships become more desirable than escape.Check out Ania's podcast: Neurodivergent UnpluggedLink to Blog Article for this EpisodeVisit No More Desire Tools for Recovery for recovery tools and training, including my free eBook, Workshop, The RAIL Method ™ and more to help you break free from porn.If you're tired of trying to quit porn on your own, the No More Desire Academy gives you a structured path to recovery through coaching, brotherhood, practical tools, and step-by-step training.

We are in the middle of spiritual combat. "Dressed For Battle" is our series at Fusion Christian Church about winning that combat by wearing the Armor of God. In week Seven, Pastor Zac teaches about using prayer to power your armor.Pray in the power of the Holy Spirit.The first key to an effective prayer life is to pray in the Holy Spirit. Christians have the unique honor of having God's Holy Spirit live inside of us! Because of that, everything we do should be in submission to the Spirit and in recognition of his power. If you have ever tried to do things under your own power, you should know that it is not enough. Christians need to stand in God's power in order to "power up" our spiritual armor and achieve spiritual victory.To pray in the power of the Holy Spirit is to pray in alignment with the will of God.Praying in the power of the Spirit falls under the broader category of submission to God's will. Jesus set the perfect example for us by repeatedly emphasizing "thy will be done" in his prayers. When we pray, we must always remember that God works things together according to his infinite wisdom and grace. Knowing this, we should remind ourselves that God will grant our prayers when they align with his will and refuse them when we pray selfishly.To pray in the power of the Holy Spirit is to follow the Spirit's leading.To have an effective prayer life, we must be open to the Spirit's guidance. This will not always be obvious, but through much prayer and through knowledge of scripture we may discern his leading. When we feel the Spirit leading us in one direction, we should affirm that it is him by aligning the decision with scripture and wisdom and then follow it. Sensitivity to the Spirit's leading comes with spiritual maturity.To pray in the power of the Holy Spirit is to pray for the family of God.Once again, we must not pray selfishly. It is acceptable to ask God for personal blessings, but a healthy prayer life includes prayers for all of God's people. Remembering to pray for others inclines our hearts in love toward those very same people and creates a healthy attitude within us. By praying even for our enemies we can keep ourselves from becoming bitter and foster a heart of love instead. What steps can you take this week to build a better prayer life?

In part one, Dr. Liz Bartman and I broke down why PMDD happens: the histamine surges, the GABA receptor glitch, the progesterone metabolite that either calms you down or completely wrecks you depending on your unique biology. If you haven't listened to that one yet, start there, because this episode builds directly on it. Now we get into the part everyone actually wants to know: what do you do about it? We talk about why popular fixes like DAO supplements and strict low histamine diets usually fall short, and what to focus on instead, starting with your gut, your liver, and your nervous system. Dr. Liz walks through her actual clinical protocols, including specific nutrients, herbs, and the EndoAccess formulas she uses with patients who have histamine overload, progesterone sensitivity, or both. We also get into the harder conversations: when a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor might help women who are pushing too much allopregnanolone, what's really going on hormonally for women hitting perimenopause with worsening PMDD, and yes, when birth control or even an SSRI might actually be the safest, most compassionate choice, even for someone who leans natural. Dr. Liz makes a case that will challenge how you think about "first, do no harm." This episode is about giving you an actual roadmap, not just information. Because once you understand your own biology, from part one, you can finally stop guessing and start treating the right thing. In This Episode, We Cover: Why DAO supplements and strict low histamine diets usually don't solve the problem long term The gut, liver, and nervous system focused approach Dr. Liz uses first with patients Key nutrients and antioxidants for calming histamine and neuroinflammation, including glutathione support, sulforaphane, green tea, pomegranate, curcumin, NAC, and glycine Why alcohol is one of the biggest hidden disruptors of histamine clearance and hormone balance Specific probiotic strains, including lactobacillus plantarum, and their surprising role in GABA receptor expression The EndoAccess formulas Dr. Liz uses clinically for histamine support and for progesterone sensitive PMDD, including early results from a small group of patients What 5-alpha reductase inhibition is, how it relates to allopregnanolone, and when it may help Why perimenopausal women can suddenly develop worse PMDD, and the surprising role of testosterone, insulin, and FSH The honest conversation about birth control, newer options, and when it may be the safest choice for severe PMDD Where SSRIs fit in, including luteal phase only dosing and what to support alongside them Why the nervous system piece is the part most women skip, and why it may be the most important one Who This Episode Is For This is for women who now understand why they're struggling, from part one, and want an actual plan. It's for anyone who has tried supplements or progesterone with no luck and felt like they were out of options. It's especially for women in perimenopause noticing their PMDD or PMS getting dramatically worse, and for anyone who has felt conflicted about whether birth control or an SSRI could ever be the "right" choice for them.     Sponsors Join the Midlife Women's Peptide Program today and get started for less than $200 a month!

If you've been on social media lately, you've probably seen it: women swearing that a combo of Pepcid and Claritin, ordinary histamine blockers, gave them their life back during the worst days of their cycle. It sounds too simple to be real, and honestly, it kind of is. But the reason it's working for some women and doing absolutely nothing for others is the whole story, and it's a story almost nobody is explaining correctly. In this episode, I sit down with one of my all time favorite guests, Dr. Liz Bartman, to go deep into progesterone sensitivity, PMDD, premenstrual dysphoric disorder, and how it's different from garden variety PMS. If you've ever felt like a completely different person for two weeks out of every month, only to feel like yourself again the second your period starts, this episode is going to make you feel seen in a way most conversations about "hormones" never do. We get into what's actually driving PMDD for so many women: an altered GABA receptor that stops responding correctly to a calming metabolite of progesterone called allopregnanolone. We talk about why histamine surges at exactly the wrong time in your cycle, how estrogen and progesterone are pulling the strings behind the scenes, and why some women feel like magic when they take progesterone while others feel like they've been poisoned by it. This is the foundational science you need before you try any protocol, viral or otherwise. This is part one of a two part series. Part two gets into what to actually do about it, but you need this piece first, because throwing supplements or medications at PMDD without understanding your own biology is how so many women end up frustrated and back at square one. In This Episode, We Cover: The real difference between PMS and PMDD, and why PMDD is classified as a mental health condition, not just a hormone imbalance Why normal estrogen and progesterone levels don't rule out PMDD, and what's actually going on in the brain instead What allopregnanolone is, how it works on GABA receptors, and why some women's brains stop responding to it correctly The viral H1/H2 histamine blocker protocol: what it is, why it can bring real relief, and why it isn't a PMDD cure-all The surprising role histamine plays as a neurotransmitter, including its connection to your morning cortisol response Why PMDD symptoms show up specifically in the second half of your cycle, and how estrogen, progesterone, and mast cells are all involved Why roughly half of women with diagnosed PMDD don't tolerate progesterone well, and what that tells us about the root cause How your gut microbiome, specific probiotic strains, and your nervous system state all influence GABA receptor expression and histamine regulation Why declining egg quality and corpus luteum function can cause progesterone to drop too fast in the luteal phase Who This Episode Is For This is for any woman who has ever felt like her brain and body get hijacked in the days before her period, and who has been told it's "just PMS" or that she's overreacting. It's for women who have tried progesterone and either felt amazing or felt so much worse, and never got a real explanation why. It's also for anyone who has seen the histamine blocker trend online and wants to understand the actual mechanism before trying it themselves.     Sponsors Join the Midlife Women's Peptide Program today and get started for less than $200 a month!

SYNOPSIS:What if intelligence is far bigger than IQ, rational thought, or what we've been taught to measure? In this fascinating conversation, Ali sits down with coach and researcher Rachel Fell to explore neurodiversity as an expression of human biodiversity, challenging our assumptions about what it means to think, feel, perceive, and truly know. Together they venture beyond the limits of our culturally conditioned understanding of intelligence, revealing a far broader way of knowing through our lived experience as sensing bodies.Whether you identify as neurodivergent or simply long to feel more fully alive, this episode offers a refreshing invitation to rethink intelligence itself. From trauma, sensitivity, and nervous system regulation to movement, emotion, and the remarkable adaptability of the human body, Ali and Rachel explore how reclaiming our full-bodied intelligence may be one of the most important - and hopeful - frontiers of our time.To subscribe now, click hereTo be an angel to the podcast, click here To read more about the podcast, click here FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:Website: https://www.alimezey.comPersonal Geometry® and the Magic of Mat Work Course information:FREE Guided Body Mapping Taster: Heart/Sexuality SplitFive-films series (made by Ali Mezey) on Stephan Hausner's work with transgenerational influences on illnessFOR MORE RACHEL FELL:BIO: Rachel Fell is a coach, consultant and collaborator working at the intersections of neurodiversity, living intelligence, perception, and embodied awareness. For over six years she has worked with gifted, neurocomplex, sensitive and intense adults around the globe, co-exploring in the service of full-body intelligence and their unique paths to realization and fulfillment.

World and Ex-President & COO, Reckitt), along with Deepak Gupta (Co-Founder & COO, Bombay Shaving Company), to unpack what it really takes to build a large Indian consumer brand for the next decade. At the centre of this conversation is Bombay Shaving Company's next big question: Can a grooming brand from India become a ₹4,000 Cr business, and eventually build products strong enough to compete globally? Aditya breaks down why India may still be behind China in innovation velocity, why local manufacturing is not just a financial decision but a strategic one, why AI will completely change how teams are built, and why money follows opportunity, not the other way around. What you'll learn from this episode: - Why 10-year-old startups learn and adapt faster than 100-year-old FMCG giants - How the "XEMES" innovation formula works and why India's "jugaad" mentality might be holding it back - What the 2x2 AI Decision Matrix is (Repeatability vs. Sensitivity) and what tasks to automate - Why taking a lower margin to build local manufacturing is a massive strategic moat - How a non-tech executive built a fully functional app in 8 days just by using AI If you're building a consumer brand, D2C business, retail company, or India-first startup, this episode gives you a sharp look at what it actually takes to build beyond the next quarter and create something that can compound for years.

In this special class in honour of his birthday, Rabbi Yisroel Bernath explores one of the most misunderstood human traits: sensitivity. While the world often tells us to toughen up and grow thicker skin, Chassidus teaches that the goal is not to suppress our emotions but to refine them. Drawing from Tanya, Torah Or, Likkutei Torah, and the teachings of the Rebbeim, Rabbi Bernath explains that some souls are created to feel more deeply because they are called to illuminate more deeply. Participants discover the difference between being emotionally controlled and spiritually refined, learn why criticism, overwhelm, and empathy affect certain people so intensely, and gain practical Chassidic tools for transforming emotional vulnerability into inner strength, purpose, and closeness to G-d.Key PointsWhy some people are born with “thinner skin and deeper souls.” The world's advice: harden yourself. Kabbalah advice: refine yourself. The exposed nekudas halev (point of the heart) and the spiritual gift of deep feeling.The soul's descent into the world as a mission of refinement, not self-protection.The difference between iskafya (self-mastery) and ishapcha (inner transformation).Why feeling overwhelmed does not mean you are failing spiritually.Learning to distinguish between the voice of fear and the voice of the soul.Healthy boundaries without losing compassion.Transforming criticism, rejection, and emotional pain into spiritual growth.How sensitive people can become extraordinary sources of healing, empathy, leadership, and light.Practical daily Chassidic exercises for emotional resilience and refinement.A birthday reflection on gratitude for the unique mission of every soul.#Kabbalah #Sensitivity #SensitiveSouls #chassidus #Tanya #Rabbiyisroelbernath #JewishWisdom #EmotionalHealth #spiritualgrowth #InnerHealing #Refinement #Iskafya #Ishapcha #NekudasHalev #soul #emotionalresilience #MentalWellness #purpose #SelfMastery #HeartOpen #BirthdayClass #personalgrowth #chabad #Transformation #DeepSouls Support US and Win BIG www.ndgraffle.com Available now:Paperback: https://www.amazon.com/Forgiveness-Experiment-What-Would-Your/dp/1069217638Kindle: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FR2QNJL6Audiobook: https://bit.ly/4tPFZhVSupport the showGot your own question for Rabbi Bernath?
