Tim Shurr is a world-renowned Peak Performance Mind Architect for millionaires, business owners, and high-achieving professionals. Tim quickly releases people from mental blocks while rapidly accelerating what he calls 'Peaceful Success' using subconscious reprogramming strategies developed over 36 years of research. His One Belief Away method is changing the game when it comes to freeing people from anxiety and attaining goals faster. He says you are just one belief away from your next big breakthrough. In this episode, Tim explains how childhood-formed limiting beliefs drive habits, emotions, and self-sabotage, and outlines a streamlined process: trace uncomfortable feelings to their root, provide missing inner resources, upgrade the core belief, and release trapped emotions like shame or anger. Using a client example of overcoming perfectionism, they discuss separating self-worth from achievements or body image, fostering self-compassion, and viewing life's challenges as game-like opportunities—where upgrading just one belief unlocks the next breakthrough.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jan/21/ice-arrests-five-year-old-boy-minnesotaUS Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detained a five-year-old Minnesota boy on Tuesday as he returned home from school and transported him and his father to a Texas detention center, according to school officials.Liam Ramos, a preschooler, and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway, the superintendent of the school district in Columbia Heights, a Minneapolis suburb, said at a press conference on Wednesday. Liam, who had recently turned five, is one of four children in the school district who have been detained by federal immigration agents during the Trump administration's enforcement surge in the region over the last two weeks, the district said. portrait of child wearing black poloLiam Ramos. Photograph: Courtesy of Columbia Heights Public SchoolsLiam and his father had just arrived home when they were detained, according to Zena Stenvik, the superintendent, who said she drove to the home when she learned of the detentions.When she arrived, Stenvik said the father's car was still running and the father and son had already been apprehended. An agent had taken Liam out of the car, led the boy to his front door and directed him to knock on the door asking to be let in, “in order to see if anyone else was home – essentially using a five-year-old as bait”, the superintendent said in a statement. Danielle (00:02):Well, Hey, Jenny, how you doing? I'm hanging in there. How you doing? Same hanging in there a part. I think of it as trying to get in or out of a space and hanging by my fingernails on an edge. That's how I think of it sometimes.(00:27):One time I told a friend, Hey man, I can do a pull up off a door jam. And they were like, really? And I was just like, yeah. And then they tried to do it repeatedly. Their hands were so sore. I was like, I didn't really mean it. I was just joking, but maybe it's like that doing a pull up off a door jam or something. Yeah,Jenny (00:46):I can't even do a normal pull up. I'm working on it. I'm working on my strength.Yeah. I'm trying.Danielle (00:53):Good for you. That's our power.Jenny (00:55):That's right.I am currently in Florida, and so I'm a little worried about this ice storm that's coming through. I think I'm a little bit south of it, so we should hopefully be in the clear, but it's still, you can feel Winter's, the Bruin here.I know. It's a little scary. We're going to just thankfully be parked somewhere where we don't have to drive for at least a few days just in case.Danielle (01:33):Okay, cool. Cool. Will you stay in Florida or what's your trajectory right now?Jenny (01:38):Yeah, we're going to be here probably a couple months, and then we'll probably head over to New Orleans. There's a New Orleans book festival. It's a giant book event, so we're excited for that. And then we'll start probably heading back up to the northeast when it starts to warm up again in late spring, early summer.Yeah. Yeah. So my manuscript is complete and I have sent it to my ideal publisher and they like it and they're going to pitch it by the end of February. So I'm just crossing all my fingers and toes that they all feel like it's a really good fit, and hopefully in about a month from now I'll have a definitive answer, but I have a really good feeling about it. I really value this publisher and yeah, it feels really in alignment with what I'm trying to do with my book.I am trying to help folks understand that their individual body, specifically white cis women in the United States that has been positioned and conditioned within Christian nationalism is just that it is conditioned and positioned by Christian nationalism. And the more that we become aware of that and conscious of that, the more mobility and freedom we can find in our bodies and hopefully in our country and in our world, so that we can move and breathe and have our being in more free sovereign ways.Danielle (03:26):That feels like a little bit of a dream right now, but hey, I'm a dreamer. I'm all over it. Yeah, I'm all over it. I'm all over it. Well, every time we hop on here, I'm always like, oh, what should we talk about? And there's always something really fucked up in the world to dive into, right? Yes.Jenny (03:44):Yeah. Yeah. I think what feels so loud is just in the last 24, 48 hours, I don't know exactly the date five-year-old boy was taken with his dad from Minnesota just immediately basically swept away to another state, and so the family and their lawyer, or even just trying to track down where they are, and I am thinking of four and five-year-olds I know in my life and just how young and how tender and how dependent a child is at that age, and I find myself feeling a lot of rage and a lot of grief and a lot of helplessness, a sense of I want to do something and how do we do something? How about,Danielle (04:40):Let me just read this to us or to us, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Ice detained a five-year-old Minnesota boy. On Tuesdays, he returned home from school and transported him and later his father to a Texas detention center. According to school officials, Liam Ramos, a preschooler and his father were taken into custody while in their driveway, the superintendent of the school district in Columbia Heights, a Minneapolis suburb, said at a press conference on Wednesday, Liam who had recently turned five is one of four children in the school district who have been detained by federal immigration agents during the Trump administration's enforcement surge in the region over the last two weeks. The district said Liam and his father had just arrived home when they were detained. According to Zena Sten, the superintendent who said she drove to the home when she learned of the detentions. Wow.(05:31):When she arrived, SVI said the father's car was still running and the father and son had already been apprehended. An agent had taken Liam out of the car, led the boy to his front door and directed him to knock on the door, asking to be let in order to see if anyone else was home, essentially using a five-year-old as bait. The superintendent said in a statement, Stenbeck said Another adult living in the home was outside during the encounter and had pleaded to take care of Liam so the boy could avoid detention but was denied. Liam's older brother, a middle schooler came home 20 minutes later to find his father and brother missing. Stenbeck said two school principals from the district also arrived at the home to offer support. Mark Osh, an attorney representing the family, said the family had an active asylum case and shared paperwork showing the father and son had arrived at the US at a port of entry, meaning an official crossing point.(06:22):The family did everything they were supposed to in accordance with how the rules have been set out. He said they did not come here illegally. They're not criminals. He said there was no order of deportation against them, and he believes the father and son have remained together. In detention, school officials released two photos of the encounter, one showing Liam in a blue knit hat outside his front door with a masked agent at his side and another showing Liam standing by a car with a man holding onto his backpack. Why did tain a five-year-old, you could not tell me this child is going to be classified as violent criminal. Stevi said. Tricia McLaughlin, director Department of Homeland Security Assistant Secretary, said in a statement on Wednesday night that ICE was conducting a targeted operation to arrest Liam's father, who she called an illegal alien. Ice did not target a child, she said McLaughlin also alleged the father fled on foot, abandoning his child, saying, for the child's safety, one of our ice officers remained with the child while the other officers apprehended.(07:21):His father. Parents are asked if they want to be removed with their children or ICE will place the children with a safe person. The parent designates. She added the school district provided a statement from Liam's teacher who expressed shock over the boy's attention. Liam is a bright young student. He's so kind and loving, and his classmates miss him. He comes into class every day and just brightens the room. All I want for him is to be back here and safe. The detention of a young child will have ripple effects at Prakash. Once his classmates learned, the government took him away. I'm not qualified to talk about how much damage that is going to cause. It's not just the family. It's the entire community and all those kids who are now going to be facing secondary trauma. Also, on Tuesday, a 17-year-old Columbia Heights student was taken armed by armed and masked agents without parents present.(08:12):Stevi said that student was removed from their car. She said in another case, on the 14th of January, ICE agents pushed their way into an apartment and detained a 17-year-old high school girl. And her mother, Stevi said in a fourth case on January 6th, a 10-year-old fourth grade student was allegedly taken by ice on her way to elementary school with her mother. The superintendent said the 10-year-old called her father during the arrest and said the ICE agents would bring her to school. But when the father arrived at the school, he discovered his daughter and wife had been taken. By the end of that school day, the mother and daughter were in detention center in Texas.(08:48):Vic reported that as school officials are preparing for a press conference on Wednesday afternoon, an ice vehicle drove to the property of the district's school and we're told by administrators to leave ice agents have been roaming our neighborhoods, circling our schools, following our buses, coming onto our parking lots and taking our kids stem said the DHS did not respond to inquiries about other arrests and the Port of ICE's arrival on campus. In an interview after the press conference, the superintendent said The arrests and looming presence of vice had taken an enormous toll on students, parents, and school staff. Our children are traumatized. The sense of safety in our community and around our schools is shaken. Stenbeck said, I can speak on behalf of all school staff when I say our hearts are shattered, and our fourth student was taken yesterday. I just thought someone has to hear the story they're taking children. School officials said, some families are choosing to stay home out of fear of ice. Stevi said, school leaders we're working to aid families affected by ice. Our role is to educate children during the school day, but now we're trying to help people navigate this legal system. She added our main priority is to keep children safe. They're children. They're not violent criminals. They're little kids.(10:01):Hey, Rebecca. I was just reading the story of little Liam who was used as bait to get his father and other family members arrested, and I hadn't read the story before, but he had apparently they walked this boy up to the door and asked him to knock on the door so they could see if anybody else was home. So yeah, thoughts Jenny, Rebecca,I think the word ringing in my head is asylum and that this young boy and his family, so many others have already tried to seek out a safer place only to be met with such violence and harmI think I feel this kind of disbelief that we live in a country where this is what happens in broad daylight and that the conversation we're having as a country is all these ways to justify that any of this is legitimate or humane. And then I feel like I shouldn't be surprised, and I wonder if this is what my ancestors felt like in the 1950s or the 1920s or the 1860s. This kind of way that this is woven into the fabric of American life in a way that it never actually disappears. It just keeps reinventing it and reimagining itself and that every generation falls for that every time. And I don't know how to metabolize that. I can access it academically. I know enough history to know that. And if I try to think about what that felt like and why are we here again, why are we repeating this again? Why are we still doing this?Danielle (14:04):Yeah, I guess I used to think, and I think I've said this many times, I just keep repeating it, that some of this would disrupt the MAGA base. And we've even talked a bit together about Marjorie Taylor Green, but I saw a piece on the Atlantic, let me see if I can find the guy's name done by Yer Rosenberg, and it said, the biggest myth about Trump's base and why many believe it, the magma faithful, the MAGA faithful aren't deserting their leader. And it said in fact that it's like over 80% of the same Republican does support this immigration enforcement. They support what the action that happened in Venezuela, they support the hostile takeover, potential hostile takeover of Greenland.(15:07):And that some of the pushback we're hearing, but maybe you've heard it by Tucker Carlson or Marjorie Taylor Green is really politically motivated. So these folks can position themselves as successors to Trump because Trump has such a, they're saying Trump has a firm grip on the Republican party. And I think I want to push back and be like, well, we're all individuals making choices at the same time. And if you have 85% of an entire voting block saying, I'm okay with this, then why would it stop? Like you said, Rebecca, there's no reason this is going to stop. We can't wait. These people are not changing their minds now. They can see the violence. If you grew up in California and someone was in Alabama and there was a lynching in Alabama or vice versa, or the Chinese were attacked in California, et cetera, you might not know about it. That's not what's happening right now. There's freedom of information. There's social media. We can see the images and with the images, people are still saying, yeah, I'm okay with that. I think that's what strikes me.Rebecca (16:27):And again, I think if you look back historically, it's like we've been okay with this as a country for a very long time, since at the inception of the country, there is a category of people that are three fifths a human, and therefore not entitled to the rights listed under the constitution. We've been okay with this since there was such a thing as the United States of America. And that means that Donald Trump is not the problem. He is the symptom of a problem. He's the current forward face of a problem that has been with us since the very beginning, and that the church in America has sanctioned as biblically acceptable from the very beginning.Which is crazy, right? But the notion that somehow God or any version of him, it is on the side of this, it is absurd. It just is. Yeah. But again, that's the argument the church has put forth the inception since the colonies, since before there was a United States. The church has put forward the notion that God is on the side of this. And it was a lie then and it is a lie now, but it's one that this country is used to swallowing.Jenny (19:36):I am thinking about how almost a year ago now, Sean and I were doing sort of a civil rights circuit. We did Memphis and Birmingham and Montgomery and I, Selma, and then we just so happened as we kind of went through that circuit, we just so happened to be in the major cities that ice rates were happening in Nashville, in Houston, in San Antonio, and we were on the same street the day that children were being ziptied and taken from their court hearings in San Antonio. And we went from there to go visit family who grew me up in a Christian tradition to follow a man who proclaimed good news for the immigrant and for the poor. And I was crying talking about what we had witnessed, what we had physically experienced, not what we had just seen on social media, on news, what we had tangibly seen, the people we talked to and one of these family members.(21:07):The next thing they said was, I think I just saw a raindrop and they were so dissociated and disconnected from themselves, from me, from our relational field, from what was going on that I was just like, if we cannot have this conversation, what hope is there? Where do we put our hope in? How, again, I think a big part of why I am so passionate about this is because of the person that I grew up learning Jesus was and trying to emulate that. And then to see this fracture in those that call themselves Christians and Jesus followers unwilling to even engage what's going on right now. It is so distressing. And I honestly, yeah, like you're saying, I don't think it's new though. I think that somehow this marriage of Christianity and militarization and conquest has been a powerful force, I think really since Constantine and there's, I dunno what it will take to reckon with that.Danielle (22:37):I mean, clearly I think Jenny, you point, information is not enough for people to change even what we could call facts. We can't agree on those facts. So if you take the church scene, I watched it. I actually watched it live last weekend. I was interested in it and I saw him say, we don't know where we're going. His car, his jeep actually got caught in a lot of snow and they were pushing it out. They got in, they were very clear like, Hey, we're just here observing this protest. We're here watching. And they watched and they went, and he has it on Instagram and TikTok, I think Don goes up to the pastor that's there, not the pastor that's associated with ice. And the pastor puts his hand on Don and starts to push him and Don says, do not touch me. Don't touch me.(23:34):Don't push me. I'm not invading your space. But I think that's the visceral response. It's like, let me push away this reality. In my mind, that's the actual thing happening. It is not that Don is seen as a person in that moment. I don't believe that. I don't believe he saw him as a person. I think it was more as I thought about it and I got the chills thinking about it. It's like, let me just push away whatever reality you're walking in with, I want nothing to do with it. And I mean, what really struck me about that too was it was black clergymen in there protesting for Renee. Good. I'm like, oh, this is what it is. It's black independent media showing up and doing this reporting. Yeah, it was very interesting. Rebecca, did you watch any of that?Rebecca 24:34):I did. And I saw a clip of a prisoner walking out of the building saying, I just came here to worship God, and that got disrupted and I'm upset about It was the gist. I mean, that's my paraphrase. But again, I don't know what has to happen to a person, to a people theologically, psychologically, emotionally, physiologically for you to not see, not believe, not metabolize, not feel what you're actually witnessing. And the answer to that is rather scary to me. What you have to believe is true about the God that you claim to serve what you have to believe is true about the people that he created in order to turn a blind eye to what you're not only witnessing but actually participating in to the extent that omission or silence or inaction is actually participation. It is a little scary to me what that means about the American church in this moment. I don't know what to say about that.Jenny (27:52):I was going to say last Sunday we had the opportunity to go to Ebenezer Baptist, which was the church that MLK was a pastor of. Did we talk about that on here? Not really,(28:07):Yeah. And Warnock gave the sermon for the day and it ended with Renee good's face up on the screen where the worship music usually shows and him talking about what it means to account the cost in this moment and to stay the course in this battle that we're in. That's very real and very serious. And to be in that place in MLK's old church on the week that Renee Goode was murdered, it just was both kind of just a reality check, but also encouraging to just be as scary and loud and big and gaslighting as all of this is. We've been to 44 states in the last two years, and there are amazing people in every single one of them doing incredible things and looking at the community in Minneapolis with their whistles, with their defiance, with their sledding competitions, just to see the various ways in which defiance and resistance is taking place. I feel like that has been something that has been giving me a thread of hope in the midst of everything.Danielle (29:51):Yeah, I think I was thinking that yesterday. There's so much piled up trauma and so many people that are disrupted by it, as they should be, and so much, I was talking to someone the other day and they're like, I'm anxious. I'm like, I'm anxious too. How could you not be anxious even if you're kind of oblivious? I feel like the waves just travel. But I mean, not to be trite, but I think I listen to Jamar Tse a lot and he was talking about one way to combat despair is building your community has to hold hope. You can't do it by yourself. So taking action or reflection or being with other people or talking it out or showing emotion. I think those are real things. And I dunno, I guess coming back to therapy, just kind of that ingrained sense of you can't take an action to get out of your situation or change things, but I don't know where I learned that or picked that up, but I think that taking an action when you feel like shit actually does help. It's going on a walk or going for a run, and I don't know the chemistry to this, maybe you know it more than me, but something starts busting loose in the chemistry, and even if it doesn't last forever, it changes for a minute.Don't know. Do you know what changes or what the chemistry is for that?Jenny (31:30):Yeah. Well, I think that there are few things more distressing for our nervous system than immobility. So at least when we are protesting or we're running or we're lifting weights or we're doing something, it's letting our body feel that sympathetic fight flight energy that's like, well, at least I can do something and I might not be able to escape this situation. I might not be able to change it, but I can feel a little bit more movement in my own body to figure out how I can maneuver in and through it.(32:14):And so even that, as we do that, when we do move or exercise, we're releasing a lot of adrenaline and cortisol. We're working that through our system, and we're also producing a lot of natural opiates and feel good chemicals. So there is something very real and physiological to lately I've been just needing to go do the stairs machine at the gym, and I've just been like, I need to walk up a mountain and feel my body be able to do that. And yeah, it doesn't last forever, but maybe for a couple hours afterwards I'm like, okay, I feel good enough to stay in this and not check out. And I had a friend send me something today that was talking about how a lot of people think they're overwhelmed and we are going through something that's overwhelming. And a lot of that overwhelm is actually that we're taking in so much and we're not doing anything with it.(33:21):And so whether or not what you do changes or fixes it, you actually need some way to let your body process the adrenaline, the stress, the cortisol, and all of those things. And that, I think helps our body. If we look at cultures across the globe when they've been preparing for war, look at the haka and these dances that are like, they're not in it. They're not fighting the war, but they're doing something to let their bodies feel in connection with other bodies to feel their strength and to get prepared for whatever they need to be prepared for.Danielle (33:59):Right. Yeah. That's so cool. Every time I watch that dance, I'm like, oh, I wish I had that. But I feel like the Seahawks kind of provide that, just that yelling or screaming or whatever.Jenny (34:18):Totally. Or going on a roller coaster. There's not a lot of places we have permission to just scream. I do in the car a lot while I'm driving. I'll just be like, and it really helped a lot.Danielle (34:34):It's so interesting how we can go from that intense story though, hit the church stuff and then the conversation can come back to here. But I do think that's a reflection of how we kind of have to approach the moment too. There's no way to metabolize all the stuff in the article. It's deeply overwhelming. One aspect probably couldn't be metabolized in a day. I dunno. Does that make sense?Yeah. How are you looking at the next week then, Jenny, as you think of that, even that kind of structure we went through, how do you imagine even the next week? It's hard to imagine the next week. I feel like we never know what's going to happen.Jenny (35:15):I know I feel very grateful that we're in a place where we have really good friends and community and support. So this week looks like dinners with our friends, engaging what's going on. We're very close to this really local bookstore that gets letters from folks in prison about what kind of book they want. And then you go find the book and you pack it and you mail it to them. What(35:52):So we're going to volunteer in there and send some books to folks in prison and just do things. And it's not changing everything, but I believe that if everybody focused on doing the right thing that was right in front of them, we would have a much different world and a less associated apathetic world. I plan on going to the gym a lot and working out, getting buff, working out my running may or may not be disrupting some more standup open mic comedy nights. We'll see. PostSpeaker 1 (36:31):What about you? What's your week look like?Danielle (36:39):I tend to set, I tell myself I love the weekends because Saturdays and Sundays are my days full days off. So I tend to tell myself, oh, I can't wait for that. But then in the week I tell myself, these might seem silly, but I say, oh man, there's so much hard stuff. But then I tell myself, I don't want to rush a day because I really like to see my kids. So then each day I think, well, I have work that's cool. I have these other tasks. And then when I get outside of work, I look forward, I try to tell myself, oh, I'm going to eat something I really like. I'm going to give my kid a hug. I'm going to hear about their day.(37:16):I like to lay flat on my back after work, even before I eat, just to kind of reset. I look forward to that moment. Seems silly. I like that at noon every day. Usually reserve my time to work out. And even if I don't push myself hard, I go just to hug the people. And sometimes I get there early and I sit in a corner and they're like, what are you doing? I'm like, I'm mentally warming up. So those are the kind of things, it sounds mundane, but I need really basic, dependable rhythms. I know I can execute.Yeah, yeah, yeah. Guess what? I really have to go to the bathroom.   Well, first I guess I would have to believe that there was or is an actual political dialogue taking place that I could potentially be a part of. And honestly, I'm not sure that I believe that.

In this episode, I'm sharing the deeper transmission behind the *14-Day Wealth Glow-Up* and why it was inspired by **Mary Magdalene showing up for me as a Queen of Pentacles archetype**.This is a recap, reflection, and invitation.Over the past two weeks inside my YouTube membership, we've moved through *seven initiations* that mirror the Magdalene veils — translated through the lens of the **Queen of Pentacles**:  the archetype of embodied wealth, nervous system safety, and material sovereignty.At the heart of this work is a simple but radical question:*Can the feminine be fully embodied, resourced, and sustained without shame, sacrifice, or burnout?*In this episode, I explore:• Why wealth is not a mindset, but a *somatic state*• How shame, identity, and survival patterns live in the body• The connection between desire, safety, and receiving• Why embodiment — not transcendence — is the missing initiation in most spiritual wealth teachings• How Mary Magdalene and the Queen of Pentacles are working the same codes through different languagesThis episode is designed to give you a **map**, not the whole method.The full embodied practices, nervous system work, and daily initiations live inside the **14-Day Wealth Glow-Up**, available in the membership through the end of February.✨ *Also announced in this episode:**Tantric Money — LIVE inside the membership on February 17th*A live class exploring *4 Primal Anomalies* you can enact daily to radically change your ability to receive, hold, and sustain abundance — without force, hustle, or collapse.If you've ever felt spiritually awake but materially unsupported…If you've tried manifesting but still feel unsafe receiving…If abundance seems to arrive and then disappear…This work was created for you.---

Somatic practitioner and founder of Circle of Nurture, Lisa Rombach, joins me for a deeply grounding conversation about motherhood, the nervous system, and why mothers need support just as much as the children they care for.   Together, we explore:   - What somatic work actually is, in everyday language, and why it's not as abstract as it may sound. - How motherhood changes our relationship with our bodies and sense of self. - Why self-care often falls short and what truly helps mothers feel replenished. - The role of community, presence, and being witnessed in reducing burnout. - How being held and supported as a mother quietly shapes how our children feel safe and secure.   This episode will help mothers feel less alone, more understood, and more grounded in their own experience. You don't need to fix yourself or try harder, sometimes the most powerful shift comes from being supported and held.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

What if your anxious attachment wasn't something to fix—but a survival response to be understood and healed? In this powerful conversation, I'm joined by trauma-informed somatic coach Valerie Rubin to explore the deeper roots of anxious attachment and why nervous system regulation—not mindset work alone—is the missing piece for so many.Valerie shares her own journey from anxiety and people-pleasing to emotional safety and secure connection, as well as the body-based tools she now uses to support clients in transforming their relationship patterns. We talk about how anxious attachment shows up in everyday life, how to navigate dating and relationships when you fear abandonment, and why true healing starts by coming home to your body.Whether you're stuck in anxious loops, craving a more secure love, or feeling exhausted by chasing validation—this episode offers a hopeful, grounded path forward.Connect with Valerie:https://www.valrubin.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healwithval/?hl=enFacebook: https://m.facebook.com/valerie.rubin.39/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerierubin?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_appMy podcast: https://spotify.link/75rKte7pRJbMy free masterclass on how to break your attraction to emotionally unavailable partners: https://stan.store/healwithval/p/get-my-templateebookcourse-now-ora8z2gu---------------------------------EASE: THE MASTERCLASS—> REGISTER HERE; LIVE JAN 21st:https://marinayt.com/ease-masterclass ❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewform❥❥❥Stay or Go Course: ⁠https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go⁠ ❥❥❥❥ FREE RESOURCE: a step-by-step process of working with your triggersTRIGGERED TO ROOTED: A ROADMAP TO CREATE TREASURES FROM YOUR TRIGGERSThis powerful step by step process will walk you through how to somatically move through a trigger, ground yourself, allow the emotions to come up and experience massive growth in your lifeDownload here:⁠ ⁠https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted⁠⁠Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:"Anxious attachment is not a flaw—it's your body asking for safety.""Before I could show up securely in love, I had to re-parent the parts of me that never felt seen.""Healing anxious attachment is less about fixing and more about softening into yourself.""Somatic work helps you rewire what love feels like in your nervous system.""You can't think your way to secure attachment—you have to feel your way there."anxious attachment, attachment healing, somatic therapy, nervous system regulation, secure relationships, inner child healing, trauma-informed coaching, embodied healing, emotional regulation, attachment style, healing relationships, relationship anxiety, self-worth, nervous system healing, trauma recovery

Burnout isn't about working too many hours. And imposter syndrome isn't a confidence problem. In this episode, I sit down with Garrett Wood, clinical hypnotherapist, executive functioning specialist, and founder of Gnosis Therapy, to unpack what's really happening beneath burnout, high masking, and the boom-and-bust cycle so many high achievers are stuck in. Garrett works with executives, founders, and entrepreneurs who want high performance without sacrificing their health, relationships, or peace of mind. His work is rooted in biopsychosocial science and nervous-system-first performance, helping leaders build success through their well-being—not at its expense. Together, we explore imposter syndrome, nervous system debt, misalignment, and why traditional fixes like mindset work, balance, or self-care often don't stick. This conversation offers a radically different—and deeply validating—lens on burnout and sustainable success. What You'll Learn in This Episode 1. Burnout Is Nervous System Debt (Not Weakness) Burnout happens when stress, pressure, and constant masking outweigh recovery and regulation. Your body has a bio-budget, and when withdrawals exceed deposits, burnout becomes inevitable—no matter how "resilient" you are. 2. Why Imposter Syndrome Persists for High Achievers Garrett explains why imposter syndrome often shows up in capable, high-performing people—and how it's tied to nervous system overload, attachment patterns, and identity pressure rather than lack of skill or experience. 3. The Power of Integration: Subconscious, Conscious & Somatic Lasting change doesn't come from mindset alone. Garrett's work integrates: Subconscious (clinical hypnotherapy) Conscious (outcome-based coaching) Somatic (body-based regulation) This is why change holds—even under pressure. 4. Burnout as Misalignment, Not Fragility People don't burn out because they're fragile. They burn out when there's a mismatch between their biology, beliefs, and environment. You can thrive at 80 hours or break at 40—alignment makes the difference. 5. The 7 Drivers of Sustainable Success Garrett walks through the seven areas that determine whether success feels energizing or depleting: Sensory intelligence Bio-budgets (energy, sleep, recovery) Emotional regulation Core beliefs Attachment patterns Values alignment Executive functioning strengths Burnout always lives in the gap between nervous system needs and environment across these dimensions. 6. Why "Balance" and Self-Care Don't Fix Burnout Many high achievers try downtime, vacations, boundaries, or mindset work—and still feel stuck. We talk about why these tools fail when they're not paired with nervous system calibration and identity alignment—and how recovery needs to be systematic, not accidental. Key Takeaways Burnout is nervous system debt, not personal failure Imposter syndrome is often physiological, not psychological Sustainable success is built through well-being, not sacrifice Alignment matters more than hours worked High performance can feel lighter, calmer, and more fulfilling Connect with Garrett Wood Website: https://www.gnosistherapy.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gnosistherapy/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gnosistherapy/

In this episode of The Light Inside, Jeffrey Besecker is joined by Tena Cacic for a grounded, nuanced conversation on how early childhood attachment experiences shape adult identity, performance roles, and dissociative coping patterns—especially within helping and therapeutic professions.Together, they explore how achievement, productivity, and over-functioning can quietly become protective strategies rooted in early relational environments. Rather than framing these patterns as pathology, the conversation examines them as adaptive responses that can later harden into identity, limiting flexibility, relational attunement, and therapeutic presence.Throughout the episode, Jeffrey and Tena differentiate somatic signals from narrative overlays, highlight the risks of epistemic and spiritual flattening, and unpack how unresolved practitioner patterns—such as rescuing, serial fixing, and over-responsibility—can subtly shape client dynamics.This episode is particularly relevant for clinicians, coaches, and educators seeking to deepen their awareness of counter-transference, performance-based identity, dissociative bypassing, and capacity-building without collapsing complexity or bypassing discomfort.Timestamps00:00 — Episode framing• Introducing the focus on early attachment, identity, and therapeutic relevance04:30 — Lived experience and trauma awareness• Tena shares personal experiences that shaped her understanding of helplessness, control, and internal role shifts10:15 — Victim–rescuer–persecutor dynamics• How early relational patterns evolve into adult performance and protection roles15:45 — Childhood development and pre-verbal imprinting• Why somatic cues precede cognition and narrative meaning-making21:30 — Over-responsibility in therapeutic roles• The subtle line between holding space and over-functioning for clients27:00 — Somatic signals vs. belief systems• Distinguishing embodied emotional intensity from post-hoc interpretation33:30 — Cultural conditioning and vulnerability• How inherited narratives shape children's sense of threat, safety, and capacity39:30 — Performance, flow, and bypassing• When calm, productivity, or “peace” becomes another form of avoidance45:30 — Identity rewards and letting go of the story• How suffering, competence, and achievement can become sublimated anchors52:30 — Nervous system regulation and productivity• Reframing performance without dissociation or over-control59:00 — Closing reflections• Relational attunement, differentiation, and building adaptive capacity over identity rigidityCreditsHost: Jeffrey BeseckerGuest: Tena CacicExecutive Program Director: Anna GetzProduction Team: Aloft Media GroupMusic: Courtesy of Aloft Media GroupConnect with host Jeffrey Besecker on LinkedIn.

What if the patterns you keep repeating aren't flaws or bad habits, but survival strategies your body learned long ago?In this episode, I sit down with Riana Malia, a certified Neuro-Somatic practitioner whose work focuses on healing generational trauma through the unconscious mind, nervous system regulation, and trauma-informed care.Riana shares her powerful personal story of betrayal, loss, and the promise she made to her daughter, that the cycle of trauma would end with her. Together, we explore how the body holds experiences the mind can't always explain, and how unhealed childhood wounds can quietly shape our relationships, choices, and sense of self well into adulthood.We talk about why emotional regulation is the foundation of real change, how trauma responses often disguise themselves as personality traits or self-sabotage, and how Riana used quantum healing to shift lifelong pain, without having to relive every traumatic moment.You'll learn:Why certain relationship patterns keep repeating, even when you “know better”How trauma responses can disguise themselves as personality traits or self-sabotage What somatic tools actually look like in everyday life, especially when things feel overwhelmingThe difference between emotional awareness and true embodied healingWhy forgiveness is about reclaiming yourself, not excusing harm.What a practical, sustainable healing journey can look like after decades of stored trauma.How trauma-informed personal growth gives your nervous system a new story to followHow understanding your body creates emotional safety and resilienceIf you're carrying pain you can't quite name, or if healing has felt confusing or out of reach, this episode offers a gentler, more embodied way forward.Your body already knows the way.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Nourish Nervous System, I am joined by Karen Canham, board-certified wellness practitioner and founder of Karen Ann Wellness, for a deep and grounded conversation on nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and what it truly means to heal beyond willpower.Karen shares her personal journey — from recovering from anorexia, to climbing the corporate ladder, to ultimately finding her way into nervous system work, somatic experiencing, and parts work therapy. Together, we explore how embodiment can become a powerful doorway into healing, resilience, and authentic leadership.This conversation weaves together polyvagal theory, somatic parts work, and the lived experience of learning to move from chronic stress and reactivity into regulation, clarity, and connection.In this episode, we explore:Karen's path from eating disorder recovery to nervous system–based healing workWhy the nervous system is the foundation of true resilience (not just stress relief)The role of the vagus nerve and how regulation supports healing and capacityHealing through awareness instead of willpowerWhat somatic parts work is and how it helps integrate emotions with compassionHow to work with emotions rather than control or suppress themThe nervous system “ladder” and understanding states of shutdown, regulation, and activationHow nervous system regulation supports leadership, relationships, and co-regulationWhy resilience isn't about staying calm all the time — but moving fluidly between statesA simple, accessible embodiment practice you can begin todayKaren also reframes leadership as an essential life skill — one rooted in clarity, compassion, and presence — and shares how nervous system regulation can create powerful ripple effects in families, workplaces, and communities.Guest Information:Karen Canham is a board-certified wellness practitioner and founder of Karen Ann Wellness, where she helps individuals and organizations move from stress and reactivity into regulation — clear, confident, and connected.Website: https://karenannwellness.com Resources:Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

What if your anxiety, chronic pain, or exhaustion isn't something to “think” your way out of? Somatic therapist Raquel Deville joins Vibe Science to explain how the body stores unresolved stress — and why tremoring, shaking, and other involuntary movements are essential for true nervous system regulation. In this episode, we explore: How trauma lives in the body, not just the mind Why neurodivergent individuals experience stress differently The science behind TRE (Trauma Release Exercises) Why socially “awkward” body responses are often signs of healing How to safely reconnect with your body's natural release mechanisms This conversation is especially powerful for listeners navigating ADHD, autism, giftedness, chronic stress, or burnout — and anyone curious about somatic healing beyond talk therapy.

Dating shouldn't feel like an HR interview. We dive straight into how personhood forms through early bonds and how those patterns quietly script who we chase, who we avoid, and why some relationships feel like home while others feel like work. Jack Bohanan, certified Somatic relationship coach, brings a grounded, experiential approach to attachment that moves beyond labels and into lived change—where the body, boundaries, and honest feedback reshape your style of relating.We unpack the classic anxious–avoidant loop in plain language and talk about how to build secure behaviors without turning your identity into a diagnosis. Jack explains why Somatic's client-centered, experiential sessions can feel “more therapeutic than therapy,” including consent-based touch, explicit boundary practice, and practitioner ownership of projections. You'll hear simple but powerful skills—receiving a compliment without deflecting, pausing for regulation, and making small specific requests—that create a new internal map you can carry into love.Then we zoom out to culture. Jack shares a vivid story from Colombia that contrasts U.S. dating with unfiltered feminine expression and examines the current tug-of-war between gender essentialism and neutrality. Biology matters, but it isn't destiny; roles evolve with safety, technology, and independence. The goal isn't to cosplay retro polarity, but to meet as two whole people whose energy fits because both are present and real. Expect honest nuance, practical takeaways, and a humane path toward connection that feels alive and steady at the same time.If this conversation sparks something, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review.

SYNOPSIS:In this live Q&A episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast, host Ali Mezey is joined by fan-favorite guest and Longevity Zoologist, Dr. Zoolittle (“Penny”) for a wide-ranging, eye-opening conversation on how we can radically improve the health, happiness, and lifespan of our animal companions.Together, Ali and Penny explore what it truly means to be intelligent caretakers of animals – moving beyond conventional pet care toward a rewilded, biologically informed approach rooted in functional and regenerative medicine. Penny explains why pets used to live much longer, how modern lifestyles disrupt animal biology, and what we can learn from wild animals about instinct, self-medication, nutrition, movement, and rest.The discussion dives into practical and often surprising topics, including animal instinct versus learned behavior, why dogs don't naturally overeat, how feeding patterns affect hormones and longevity, the profound impact of spaying and neutering on animal health, and the importance of species-appropriate diets. Penny also answers audience questions on indoor cats, fasting, raw versus cooked food, enrichment, and how to bring nature back into our pets' lives – even within modern homes.This episode challenges deeply ingrained assumptions about pet care and offers compassionate, science-based insights that empower animal guardians to support their companions in thriving – not just surviving – well into old age. A must-listen for anyone who loves animals and wants to honor the intelligence of their bodies as much as our own.FOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeALI BIO: Ali Mezey is a Body Therapist, Family Constellation Work Facilitator, Sexologist and Media Maker with over 40 years of experience.

Do you notice the same patterns repeating in your life?What if those patterns weren't random but part of your astrological blueprint, offering guidance for your healing journey? In this light, New Year episode, I sit down with Remy Ramirez—astrologer, mental health coach, and host of the Patrauma Party podcast—for a grounded and expansive conversation on using astrology as a tool for self-awareness, emotional healing, and inner work.We explore what's ahead in 2026 astrology, including the rare Saturn–Neptune conjunction, and how this potent alignment may signal both a collective energetic shift and a deeply personal invitation to change and do the inner work. Rather than predicting fate, we discuss how astrology can help you understand your nervous system patterns, emotional responses, and subconscious themes—so you can move forward with greater clarity and compassion.Remy also shares how receiving her own birth chart reading illuminated the roots of long-held wounds, softened her relationship with herself, and opened the door to lasting emotional healing. If you've been navigating self-love, energetic boundaries, or a season of transition, this episode offers insight, reassurance, and gentle encouragement.In this episode, you'll learn:What the 2026 Saturn–Neptune conjunction may bring collectively and personallyHow astrology mirrors nervous system responses and emotional patternsWhy somatic healing and subconscious work pair powerfully with astrologyHow astrology supports spiritual healing and growthThe connection between your moon sign and mental healthHow your birth chart reveals emotional patternsThe healing power of naming and understanding recurring patternsHow to work intentionally with full moon and new moon energyWhy astrology predictions are about awareness—not destinyThe role of self-respect in healing and relationshipsHow astrology can guide both your subconscious work and next steps with clarityWhether you're in a season of reflection, transition, or spiritual awakening, this conversation offers a reminder: healing doesn't happen all at once.

As the new year begins, many intuitive practitioners feel called toward change, but not the “new year, new you” kind. In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, Brenda Winkle invites you into a deeper, more grounded reflection on identity, leadership, and what it really takes to step into your next level as a healer, coach, or guide. Brenda shares why identity - not effort - is the true driver of sustainable success, why affirmations often backfire, and how subtle, embodied shifts create profound change. She also speaks directly to intuitive practitioners who know they're sensing more than they're saying—and are ready to trust that information with skill, ethics, and confidence. In this episode, you'll explore: Why identity work matters more than resolutions How to shift identity without triggering resistance What “I am becoming someone who…” actually changes Why intuition alone isn't enough - and how skill creates safety How trusting your intuition impacts pricing, confidence, and leadership What's included in the Intuitive Somatic Healing Certification A first look at the upcoming Spiritual Biz Builder's Retreat This episode is for practitioners who are done circling and ready to lead with clarity, integrity, and ease. ✨ Enrollment for the Intuitive Somatic Healing Certification closes January 2.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Nourished Nervous System, I'm joined by Dr. Nima Rahmany, chiropractor, educator, and creator of the Becoming Trigger-Proof methodology, for a deep and illuminating conversation about people pleasing, trauma responses, attachment patterns, and how nervous system healing transforms our relationships — with others and with ourselves.Dr. Nima shares his personal journey from chiropractic care into somatic psychology and attachment work, shaped by his own experiences with ruptured relationships, trauma bonding, and nervous system dysregulation. Together, we explore how stress, chronic illness, burnout, and relational conflict often stem from self-abandonment learned early in life — and how healing begins by turning inward.This conversation weaves somatic awareness, polyvagal theory, shadow work, and attachment theory into a compassionate framework for understanding why so many of us struggle with boundaries, resentment, and emotional exhaustion.In this episode, we explore:The fawn response and how people pleasing develops as a survival strategyWhy self-abandonment often leads to burnout, autoimmunity, and chronic stressHow childhood attachment wounds show up in adult relationships and parentingThe difference between being boundaryless, walled-off, and elegantly boundariedWhy resentment builds when we ignore our body's “no”How shadow work helps us reclaim disowned parts of ourselvesA somatic approach to working with triggers in real timeWhat it actually means to be “regulated” — and why regulation doesn't mean being calm all the timeHow to build resilience by increasing your capacity to feel, rather than suppress, emotionDr. Nima also walks us through a powerful, embodied example of how triggers with our children or partners can become doorways to healing unmet needs within ourselves — offering a practical, compassionate roadmap for rupture and repair.This episode is especially supportive if you:Identify as a people pleaser or “the strong one”Struggle with guilt around saying noFeel chronically depleted despite doing “all the right things”Are navigating parenting, partnership, or work stressSense that your nervous system is asking for a different way of relatingResources mentioned:WebsiteDr. Nima Rahmany's Attachment Style QuizThe Trigger-Proof ExperienceFacebookResources:Ayurvedic Dosha Quick Reference Guide Abhyanga Self Massage Guide Weekend Nervous System Reset Nourished For Resilience Workbook Find me at www.nourishednervoussystem.comand @nourishednervoussytem on Instagram

Hey Guys, You know that moment when you walk through your house and think, "I need to do something about this" — and then life pulls you in another direction? This episode is about why that happens, especially for women who spend their lives taking care of everyone else — and how to finally stop the cycle without shame, pressure, or burnout. When your nervous system is taxed from doing, managing, and holding everything together, your home often becomes the last thing you tend to. And then the guilt sets in. But clutter isn't a personal failure — it's a physiological response to overload. The 4-Step Reset You'll Practice When you notice stress or shame rising around clutter: 1. Label the feeling – Name what's actually happening in your body 2. Somatic anchoring – Place your hands on your body to signal safety 3. Exposure + acceptance – Stay present instead of avoiding 4. Self-compassion – Acknowledge that you were doing the best you could This is how change starts — without forcing yourself to "do more." Important Reminder You can start with your nervous system. You can start with your home. Either way, you're moving toward regulation and order — as long as you're not doing it from pressure, shame, or control. Regulate your nervous system, take action, and your identity shifts as a result. ⸻ Want Support Doing This Consistently? The year-long program is open.

In this episode, Dr. Connie Cheung reveals why 2025 marks the end of outdated wellness trends (rigid diets, over-exercising, biohacking burnout, supplement overwhelm) and what's replacing them: ✨ Nervous system–based healing. ✨ Somatic intelligence. ✨ Biology-before-mindset. ✨ Stability before strategy. ✨ EASE OS™ as the next evolution of healing. If you've felt exhausted by protocols, frustrated by conflicting advice, or stuck in a survival loop… this episode will explain EXACTLY why. You'll learn: • Why the old model of wellness is collapsing • How dysregulation hijacks digestion, hormones, mood & cravings • Why biology is becoming more important than mindset • The rise of somatic and nervous-system–based healing • Why 2025 is the year women reclaim clarity, coherence, and stability • Why EASE OS™ is the future-proof operating system for true transformation

Hey Guys, You know that moment when you walk through your house and think, "I need to do something about this" — and then life pulls you in another direction? This episode is about why that happens, especially for women who spend their lives taking care of everyone else — and how to finally stop the cycle without shame, pressure, or burnout. When your nervous system is taxed from doing, managing, and holding everything together, your home often becomes the last thing you tend to. And then the guilt sets in. But clutter isn't a personal failure — it's a physiological response to overload. The 4-Step Reset You'll Practice When you notice stress or shame rising around clutter: 1. Label the feeling – Name what's actually happening in your body 2. Somatic anchoring – Place your hands on your body to signal safety 3. Exposure + acceptance – Stay present instead of avoiding 4. Self-compassion – Acknowledge that you were doing the best you could This is how change starts — without forcing yourself to "do more." Important Reminder You can start with your nervous system. You can start with your home. Either way, you're moving toward regulation and order — as long as you're not doing it from pressure, shame, or control. Regulate your nervous system, take action, and your identity shifts as a result. ⸻ Want Support Doing This Consistently? The year-long program is open.

You can have the most mind-blowing healing experience of your life and still find yourself right back in familiar patterns. Why? Because the nervous system defaults to what it knows. In this episode of Trauma Rewired, we explore why insight alone does not create lasting change and why the most intense healing experiences do not start in the mind, they start in the body. Co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof, founder of BrainBased.com and the Neurosomatic Intelligence Coaching Certification, and Jennifer Wallace, Neurosomatic Psychedelic Preparation and Integration Guide, unpack peak somatic experiences through a trauma-informed lens. Together, they examine how experiences like breathwork, somatic practices, and psychedelics interact with neuroplasticity, interoception, and complex trauma. They also name an often-missing piece of the conversation: these experiences are not inherently healing without preparation, capacity, and integration. This episode offers a grounded, nuanced discussion of why peak somatic experiences can be both transformative and destabilizing, especially for nervous systems shaped by chronic stress, dissociation, or developmental trauma. Rather than promoting quick fixes or heroic doses, Elisabeth and Jennifer emphasize nervous system safety, minimum effective dose, and relational support as essential ingredients for real, embodied change.   Timestamps: 00:00 – Why insight alone does not create change 05:40 – What peak somatic experiences are and are not 14:20 – Neuroplasticity, psychedelics, and the default mode network 28:10 – Somatic memory, dissociation, and complex trauma 44:30 – Why preparation and integration matter more than the experience itself 58:45 – Risks, discernment, and trauma-informed support 1:12:30 – Capacity building and minimum effective dose 1:24:00 – Integration, regulation, and long-term nervous system change Key Takeaways: Peak somatic experiences amplify existing nervous system patterns rather than replacing them. Neuroplasticity is neutral and requires direction, support, and integration. Somatic memory often surfaces without narrative recall, especially in complex trauma. Preparation and capacity determine whether an experience is healing or destabilizing. Lasting change happens through consistent, embodied integration, not one-time breakthroughs.
