If you've been working on yourself — doing the forgiveness work, the affirmations, the meditations — and you're still not seeing the results you want… one of these two mistakes may be the reason why. In this episode of Heal Yourself. Change Your Life®, Brandy Gillmore breaks down two of the most common mistakes she sees that quietly block real mind-body healing. These approaches can look like progress on the surface — but at a subconscious level, they may be keeping you from getting the results you're seeking. The first mistake is something almost everyone overlooks when it comes to the mind-body connection: the importance of the specific details. It's the missing piece behind why so many popular approaches — including positive thinking and affirmations — fall short. As Brandy explains through simple, everyday examples of how emotions create physical responses in the body, it becomes clear just how powerful these details are — and why overlooking them changes everything. The second mistake involves a common healing practice that most people consider positive and productive. However, when you understand what can happen beneath the surface, you begin to see how it may unintentionally reinforce the very pattern you're trying to change — and why so many people stay stuck in the same cycle for years. This is a concise but powerful episode. If you've ever wondered why your healing journey feels stuck despite doing all the "right" things, this may be exactly what you need to hear. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal? Here's a demonstration of Brandy Gillmore working with volunteers under medical equipment, as featured in a medical journal.

Today, we're talking about something every follower of Jesus should consider carefully—influence. Whether we notice it or not, we're constantly shaping the people around us. But what does Christlike influence actually look like, and how do we steward it well? We'll explore how faith reframes our understanding of persuasion, leadership, and everyday impact—and why influence becomes most powerful when it flows "from above." My guest today is Brian Ahearn. Brian is the Chief Influence Officer at Influence PEOPLE and a faculty member at the Cialdini Institute. He's an international speaker, coach, and consultant, and one of only a dozen people worldwide to hold the Cialdini Method Certified Trainer designation, as well as the Pre-suasion Trainer certification. He's written four books on influence, including Influence PEOPLE, named one of the Top 100 Influence Books of All Time. His LinkedIn courses have reached more than 800,000 learners, and his TEDx Talk on pre-suasion has surpassed one million views. Please send us your feedback and questions to: podcast@summit.org.
Sanah Ahsan's evocative “Ramadan's Greeting” brings us into the thoughts and experiences of a person observing the holiest month in Islam. In nine brief couplets, the poet deftly directs our attention towards some of the rich contrasts that emerge at this time — between light and dark, desire and abstinence, self and community — as well as the abiding satisfactions and joys. We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes. Sanah Ahsan is a poet, liberation psychologist, and educator. Sanah's work plays in the wild terrain of woundedness, the sacred landscapes of falling apart, centering compassion and embracing each other's madness. Their work draws on therapeutics, psychospirituality, embodiment, and poetics as life-affirming practices. Some of Sanah's media work includes writing for The Guardian, delivering a TEDx Talk, and presenting a Channel 4 documentary on the overmedicalization of people's distress. Sanah is working on a nonfiction book about the politics of distress, and society's relationship with unruly emotions. As a poet, Sanah won the Out-Spoken Poetry Performance Prize and has been shortlisted for the Queen Mary Wasafiri New Writing Prize, The White Review Poetry Prize, and Bridport Poetry Prize. Sanah's debut poetry collection, I cannot be good until you say it, is a meditation on Islam, queerness, and goodness.

Tâm is the first listener-suggested guest, thanks to regular listener, Brandon Coleman. Tâm is an entertaining and interesting guest that has an in-depth story and many insights to share about life in Saigon, which can be seen by the length of this episode. Born in Texas to Vietnamese refugees, Tâm moved to Saigon after a stint in Singapore. Here in Saigon she worked at an international branding agency but soon started creating Vietnamese-Mexican dishes and hosting dinners out of her apartment, creating a closed-door restaurant named Saigonita. Soon Saigonita appeared in Vice Munchies and was profiled in Saigoneer so she decided to quit her corporate career to pursue her passion in food. Since then, she's been interviewed by publications in Vietnam, Singapore, the US, Italy, France; and has given a TEDx Talk. She is currently getting to more deeply know her roots and explore Vietnam's culinary scene through travels around the country.-------------------Theme music composed by Lewis Wright.Main Cover Art designed by Niall Mackay and Le Nguyen.Episode art designed by Niall Mackay, with pictures supplied by guests and used with permission."Send me a message!"Support the show
What if the very emotion that makes you feel strong and protected is the same one quietly affecting your health? It's more common than you might think — and it's one of the many counterintuitive aspects of the mind-body connection. In today's episode of Heal Yourself, Change Your Life, Brandy Gillmore shares two powerful insights from her recent work with a wonderful volunteer named Debbie: • Why an external trigger — whether an accident, medication, or injury — is almost never the full story • How certain emotions can feel good or protective — and yet subtly impact your health, happiness, and life at a deeper level If you've ever felt like your health issue began with something external and couldn't possibly be connected to your mind… or if you've tried everything and still feel stuck, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Savannah reads a letter to Julie about late-blooming male-to-female crossdresser Olivia who has come to the realization that their feminine side might want to create a wish list for herself. The idea of giving herself permission to want something for her feminine side is new and seemingly a novel concept. Is this typical for a late-blooming CD? Is it too near adjacent to the Pink Fog? Using a wishlist list is a perfect way to organize, find your style, be mindful about what you want vs need, and a way to share with others who are interested in giving that femme side of you a supporting gift.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“. While both focus on the male-to-female (mtf) crossdresser, “Defining a New Normal” delves into crossdressing and relationships and “Discovering Your True Identity” looks at the individual crossdressing journey. Her latest achievements are two TEDx Talks, one entitled "Demystifying the Crossdressing Experience" and the other "13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression". Savannah is a male-to-female dual-gender crossdresser who is visible in the Upstate of South Carolina, active in local groups and advocating as a public speaker at LGBTQ+ conferences and workshops across the United States. At the moment, Savannah is working on more books, blogs, and projects focused on letting every crossdresser–young and mature–find their own confidence, expression, identity and voice.IG @savannahhauk | FB @savannahhauk | FB @livingwithcrossdressing | web @livingwithcrossdressing.com------JULIE RUBENSTEIN is a dedicated ally to transgender community and the certified image consultant and co-owner of Fox and Hanger.

Comfort can feel like relief. Staying quiet. Keeping things to yourself. Not risking rejection. For a lot of men, that comfort slowly turns into distance, and then into loneliness. In this episode of the Don’t Change Much Podcast, hosts Mike Cameron and Trevor Botkin talk openly about how isolation becomes a habit long before it becomes a problem. Drawing from their own lives, leadership roles, relationships, and past struggles, they unpack how choosing comfort can quietly cost men the connection they actually want. They explore what happens when men wear masks, manage impressions, or keep people at arm’s length to stay in control. The conversation moves through fear of rejection, the urge to self-isolate, and the belief that independence means handling everything alone. The shift comes when both men name a hard truth: connection doesn’t break when you speak up, it breaks when you disappear. This isn’t about forcing vulnerability or oversharing. It’s about learning to listen, to stay present, and to let yourself be seen without trying to manage the outcome. You’ll hear: How comfort can slowly replace real connection Why isolation often feels safer than risking rejection What actually helps men open up without losing themselves Small, practical ways to rebuild connection without changing everything Before they close, Mike and Trevor leave listeners with two simple challenges: Reach out to someone who has impacted you in a positive way and let them know. Start a conversation with a stranger who is different than you. If you’ve been feeling disconnected, even while surrounded by people, this conversation meets you where you are.

Whether it's a recent loss or one from years ago that you thought you were past, grief can quietly show up in the body in ways most people don't expect. In this episode of Heal Yourself. Change Your Life®, Brandy shares something she's been seeing over and over again: people developing unexplained health issues that trace back to grief — sometimes recent, sometimes from a loss they didn't even realize they were still carrying. And here's what makes it worse: some of the common advice about grief — sit with it, feel it fully, cry it out — can actually program it deeper into the mind and body instead of releasing it. Brandy explains why this happens using how neural pathways work and shares a powerful mindset shift that has helped people who were stuck in grief for years finally open their hearts, move forward, and fall in love with life again. Whether your loss was recent or long ago, this episode offers insight, compassion, and a supportive path forward — helping you release emotional weight and reconnect with peace, healing, and possibility.

In this episode, Brandy shares a powerful insight from working with a live volunteer who experienced a dramatic shift in pain—using her own mind. What made this session especially revealing was the role of suppressed subconscious emotions. Even when someone is positive, loving, and emotionally strong, emotions pushed beneath awareness can quietly influence healing in ways most people never consider. This episode explores why positive thinking, affirmations, and even meditation can sometimes miss what's happening at a deeper level—and how suppressed subconscious emotions can continue influencing the body until they're addressed. Rather than focusing on mindset or effort, this episode highlights how subconscious patterns—including emotional links that don't make logical sense—can still affect pain, illness, and healing outcomes. You'll hear insights on: How suppressed emotions can remain active beneath awareness Why subconscious patterns don't need to be logical to be powerful How emotional miswiring can quietly influence pain or illness Why real change often requires rewiring subconscious programming, not suppressing emotions This episode is an invitation to look beneath the surface and consider whether there are emotions you may have learned to suppress—and how gently addressing them can help open the door to meaningful healing shifts.

In this episode, we explore a powerful and often misunderstood truth about pain. Pain is not simply a muscle or tissue problem. It is a brain based experience.Modern pain science shows us that the brain plays a central role in how pain is created, interpreted, and maintained. While muscles may feel tight, weak, or painful, they are often responding to messages coming from the nervous system rather than being the root cause.You will learn how protective patterns develop in the brain through stress, injury, trauma, repetitive movement, or emotional load. Over time, these patterns can keep muscles in a constant state of contraction, leading to ongoing discomfort, stiffness, and pain even when there is no longer tissue damage.This is where clinical somatic movement becomes so effective.Clinical somatic movement works directly with the brain through slow, mindful, intentional movement. Instead of forcing muscles to stretch or strengthen, this approach helps the brain update outdated protective signals. Through processes such as pandiculation, the nervous system can relearn how to fully release muscle contraction, restore movement efficiency, and reduce pain at its source.In this episode, you will discover:• Why pain is an output of the brain, not just a symptom of the body• How chronic muscle tension is often a learned neurological pattern• Why stretching alone rarely creates lasting relief• How clinical somatic movement retrains the brain to reduce pain naturally• What it means to work with your nervous system rather than against itIf you are navigating midlife changes, persistent pain, or a sense that your body no longer responds the way it used to, this conversation will resonate deeply.Go to: https://TotalSomatics.com/Midlife and join me & other guest speakers to this FREE Online EventI would love you to join me for my upcoming FREE ONLINE event taking place over the weekend of 21st and 22nd February.Navigating Midlife is a supportive, science-informed experience designed to help you understand your body, brain, and nervous system during this important stage of life.

In this episode of Perfect Prey, I'm joined by Laura Richards, a criminal behavioral analyst, former New Scotland Yard specialist, and one of the leading global voices on coercive control. Laura has been instrumental in changing laws on stalking and coercive control in the UK and internationally, and her work has helped shape policy, legislation, and professional practice worldwide.We explore why coercive control is not about isolated incidents, but a patterned strategy of domination, entrapment, and power imbalance. Laura explains why coercive control is best understood as a war of attrition, how patriarchy and misogyny shape institutional responses, and why women and children are so often disbelieved—even when the evidence is present.This conversation examines how legal systems, family courts, and law enforcement frequently fail victims and survivors, particularly at the point of separation, when risk escalates most dramatically. We also discuss why coercive control must be criminalized, why gender matters in risk assessment, and how language itself can either obscure or reveal abuse.What we coverWhat coercive control really is and why it's a patterned form of abuseWhy victims and survivors are often disbelieved by systems meant to protect themCoercive control as “murders and suicides in slow motion”The role of patriarchy, entitlement, and power imbalance in abuseWhy separation is the most dangerous time for women and childrenHow family courts can become a tool of post-separation abuseWhy protecting children requires protecting the non-abusive parentThe urgent need to criminalize coercive control globallyWhy listen If you are a survivor, protective parent, clinician, attorney, advocate, or policymaker, this episode offers critical insight into how coercive control operates beneath the surface of relationships and systems. Laura Richards brings clarity to why abuse is so often minimized, misunderstood, or reframed—and what must change to prevent further harm.Guest bio (short)Laura Richards is a criminal behavioral analyst, former New Scotland Yard specialist, and a leading international expert on coercive control, stalking, and violence against women. She helped create the DASH risk assessment model, founded the National Stalking Advocacy Service (Paladin), and played a central role in criminalizing coercive control in England and Wales. Laura is the author of Policing Domestic Violence and host of the Crime Analyst and Real Crime Profile podcasts.Connect with Dr. ChristineOfficial site: https://www.thelaurarichards.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/crimeanalyst?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet&igsh=ZDNlZDc0MzIxNw==X (twitter): https://x.com/thecrimeanalystTiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@crimeanalystpodYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCksfRSwfwFqUCjcxKYju6_QBooks: https://www.thelaurarichards.com/resources/booksConnect with Dr. ChristineProtective Parenting Program: https://www.coercivecontrolconsulting.com/services/for-parents/Official site: https://www.coercivecontrolconsulting.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DrCocchiola-coercivecontrol/videosTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.c_coercivecontrolInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dr.cocchiola_coercivecontrol/TEDx Talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gp2qByKOue4&t=24sBooks:https://url-shortener.me/c/FramedBookhttps://url-shortener.me/c/EveryMomentOfEveryDayIf this episode resonated, please share it with someone who needs this information, subscribe to Perfect Prey, and consider leaving a review to help other survivors find validation and clarity.— Dr. Christine Cocchiola & guest Laura Richards
Our inspiring podcast guest today, Scott Tillema, is an award-winning keynote speaker and negotiation expert who helps leaders navigate difficult conversations with confidence, influence, and trust. Drawing on more than 20 years in law enforcement, including his work as an FBI-trained hostage negotiator and a business negotiator trained through the Harvard University Program on Negotiation, Scott brings rare, real-world insight into what it takes to lead effectively in high-stakes moments. His work focuses on showing leaders how to connect first, influence second, and create outcomes that move people and businesses forward. In this episode, Scott unpacks the psychology behind negotiation and human connection through four key factors: understanding, timing, delivery, and respect. He shares how his early life, career in law enforcement, and deep study of human behavior shaped his approach, why judgment blocks connection, and how problem-solving can sometimes stand in the way of true empathy. We also explore what bad leadership can teach us, why influence is a learnable skill, and why we should never forget that connection is at the very heart of influence. Join us for an eye-opening conversation about how to harness the influence you may not even know you have to change the world for the better. Key Highlights From This Episode: Scott's beginnings in hostage negotiations from studying psychology and working in law enforcement. [04:45] How his childhood and early adult experiences shaped his curiosity about what drives people. [06:53] How judgment acts as a barrier to connection and ultimately negotiation. [11:20] Four factors of negotiation: understanding, timing, delivery, and respect. [17:03] Why it is truly possible for anyone to become a strong verbal influencer. [21:32] What we can learn from bad leadership and the mistakes they make along the way. [26:12] Why problem-solving creates a barrier to true empathy. [31:02] A final word of encouragement about the influence you might not know you have.

Various statistics suggest that more than half of travellers want to see animals when they travel: that's why we keep returning to the topic of animal tourism and how we can do this in ways that both keep humans interested in caring for animals but without doing too much harm - and while bearing in mind that for many communities, animal tourism can be a significant part of their economy. To sum up: it's tricky! In this episode I get a bunch of different perspectives. I start with Eryn Gordon, a travel writer who visited Thailand and had her first encounter there with an animal sanctuary that was ethical on paper but made her question this when she was there in person - something that many tourists experience. Next, I speak with safari guide Suyash Keshari, who has many years of experience working in tourism with tigers in India (and other animals around the world), and discusses the difficult balance of tourist behaviour that does and doesn't impact animals in ways that actually change their lives. Finally, John Roberts takes us back a couple of decades to describe some of what was happening when the world first started to consider whether it was okay or not to train and tame elephants for tourism purposes, and some of the tricky elements of this in the Thai context in particular.

What happens when great people bring their old culture into your organization—and no one talks about it? In this episode of the Build a Vibrant Culture Podcast, Nicole Greer is joined by Lisa Hazen, co-author of Culture Shock and founder of StoriTel, for a deep dive into the hidden force shaping organizations from the inside out: microcultures.Lisa draws on 25+ years in the biopharma industry to explain how microcultures form, why they're not inherently bad, and how—when left unmanaged—they can quietly erode collaboration, innovation, and trust. Together, Nicole and Lisa explore how leaders can turn culture shock into a strategic advantage by intentionally shaping an agile, resonant employer brand.This conversation is packed with real-world examples, practical frameworks, and powerful insights for leaders navigating growth, mergers, high turnover, or constant change—whether you're in biopharma or any people-driven industry. If you care about retention, resilience, and results, this episode is a must-listen.Vibrant Highlights06:45 – Microcultures form when people bring more than their resumes into a new organization; they bring shared habits, language, and ways of working that can subtly reshape culture.10:15 – Microcultures aren't inherently negative and can drive fast productivity, but when left unmanaged they create silos, exclusion, and internal disconnect.13:45 – Resilience is not an innate trait but a learned skill, and coaching provides a critical anchor for employees navigating constant change and instability.18:30 – Building an agile, resonant employer brand requires identifying authentic cultural themes, intentionally evangelizing them, and continuously adapting as the organization evolves.44:15 – The cost of ignoring culture and microcultures is exponentially higher than the cost of investing in them, impacting innovation, retention, and long-term business health.Connect with Lisa:Culture Shock by Lisa Hazen & Kim Hazen: https://a.co/d/dNSyIdzWebsite: https://www.storitel.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisahazenstoritel/LI Business: https://www.linkedin.com/company/back-bay-storitel/BONUS: Email nicole@vibrantculture.com to receive a FREE Change Readiness Assessment!Also mentioned in this episode:Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson: https://a.co/d/3i9zXc2The Danger Booth: https://www.thedangerbooth.com/Listen at vibrantculture.com/podcast or wherever you get your podcasts!Book Nicole to help your organization ignite clarity, accountability, and energy through her SHINE™ Coaching Methodology.Visit vibrantculture.comEmail: nicole@vibrantculture.comWatch Nicole's TEDx Talk: https://youtu.be/SMbxA90bfXE

This week I sit down with Autumn Calabrese to talk about fitness, mindset, and stress management—especially as they relate to women in midlife. We explore how hormonal changes can affect energy, recovery, motivation, and overall health, and why many women find that the fitness strategies that once worked no longer feel effective or sustainable. We also discuss how women's fitness culture has evolved over time, shifting away from extremes and toward a more balanced, realistic approach that prioritizes consistency over perfection. This episode highlights why managing stress is just as important as working out, and how nutrition, quality sleep, and community support play foundational roles in long-term wellness. At its core, this conversation is an invitation to reframe fitness as a tool for resilience, strength, and vitality—not punishment—and to encourage women to embrace change, stay consistent, and prioritize their health through every season of midlife. Fitness helps support warmth, energy, and resilience, especially during winter Mindset is a major driver of sustainable fitness and health habits Stress management is essential for overall health in midlife Hormonal changes can significantly impact women's physical and mental well-being Fitness culture is evolving toward balance rather than extremes Consistency in workouts leads to better long-term health outcomes Nutrition is a cornerstone of a healthy lifestyle Quality sleep is critical for recovery and overall well-being Embracing change can transform the midlife experience Community and accountability enhance motivation and long-term commitment Autumn's IG BODI platform To my fellow clinicians: listen to the You Are Not Broken podcast on Pinnacle's network to earn FREE CME credit Listen to my Tedx Talk: Why we need adult sex ed Take my Adult Sex Ed Master Class: My Website Interested in my sexual health and hormone clinic?

What if the body isn't healing because it's responding to long-standing patterns in the mind? In this powerful live episode of Heal Yourself. Change Your Life., Brandy Gillmore works with Emily, a strong, insightful woman with a beautiful sense of humor who has been navigating stiffness and limited mobility after being hit by a car, undergoing multiple surgeries, and being diagnosed with spinal stenosis. As the session unfolds, it becomes clear that Emily's body isn't broken or incapable — it has been responding to long-standing emotional conditioning that once helped her cope, but is no longer supporting her health, movement, or sense of ease. With warmth, compassion, laughter, and deep awareness, Brandy helps Emily uncover subconscious patterns around anger as protection and a long-standing feeling of being unappreciated. As Emily begins to see these patterns differently and shift them in real time, something remarkable happens: her posture changes, her movement improves, and she begins standing and walking with noticeably more ease — right there in the session. This episode also offers an important reminder: while breakthroughs can happen quickly, lasting healing requires genuine change at the subconscious level. Brandy explains why reinforcing new emotional and neurological patterns matters, and how slipping back into old triggers can cause symptoms to return. In this episode, you'll discover: How long-standing emotional protection patterns can quietly affect the body Why anger can feel protective — yet still keep healing stuck How shifting perspective can create immediate physical relief Why real transformation requires reinforcing new subconscious programming If you've ever felt like you've done years of inner work yet still felt stuck — or if you've wondered how emotions, relationships, and the nervous system influence physical health — this episode offers clarity, compassion, and hope. As always, please share this episode with someone you love — or someone who may need encouragement today. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal?

So many people feel stressed, frustrated, or stuck when it comes to manifesting — especially around money. But what if the real issue isn't pushing harder or staying positive… what if it's misalignment — and the need to realign both your mindset and your actions? In this episode of Heal Yourself. Change Your Life®, Brandy Gillmore explores the powerful — and often overlooked — connection between money, manifesting, and healing. You'll hear how subconscious beliefs can quietly create stress, impact the body, and shape outcomes — and how shifting those beliefs can naturally open the door to greater ease, support, and real-world results. Through real client stories and grounded insight, Brandy shares why healing and manifesting aren't about waiting for things to arrive, but about creating inner alignment that makes empowered action feel possible, natural, and sustainable. In this episode, you'll discover: How stress around money and manifesting impacts the body Why inner alignment is essential for both healing and success How subconscious blocks influence what shows up in your life The role empowered, aligned action plays in real transformation Why lasting change feels easier when your nervous system is on board This episode offers a compassionate, practical perspective on manifesting — one that supports your health, your well-being, and your life. If this episode resonates, please share it with someone you love or someone who could use a little more ease and clarity today. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal?

Ready to being your journey of healing? It's time to reclaim your life with elite and discreet premium psychotherapy with Dr. Gregory T. Obert.
Inside, they explore: → The profound realization that stopped her body from conceiving: "I'm terrified to be a mother like my mother had been"→ How following intuitive nudges (even when they don't make logical sense) changed the entire trajectory of her life→ Why premarital coaching at 23 was the catalyst for decades of transformative personal growth→ The sacred travel experience in Ireland that unlocked this truth: "You are a woman whether you have a child or not"→ How our bodies hold stress and old stories—and what it takes to release them→ The biggest code to dismantle: "To be a good mom means you put your children first, then your spouse, then work—and you're last"→ Why there's no "one right way" to mother (and how liberating that truth can be)→ What self-mothering actually looks like (hint: it doesn't always require money or time—it requires permission)→ How generational wiring convinces us we don't deserve rest, help, or prioritizing ourselves→ The travel soccer story: what one mom's "no" taught about triggers, choices, and rewriting family values→ Why mothering is a process we can all cultivate—whether we're raising children, building businesses, or nurturing creative work→ How the nervous system shapes the way we show up in relationships (and why regulating it matters)→ The power of choosing yourself—even when it feels selfish, even when it's uncomfortableDr. Lyons also opens up about her own regret for "leaving herself out" during her daughters' teenage years, the doctoral work that led to her book, and why she now leads immersive retreats in Mexico and Ireland to help women flex their self-mothering muscles.This conversation will make you pause, reflect, and breathe a little deeper.

It's (somehow!) six years ago that we started to learn about this new virus and then find ourselves caught up in a global pandemic. While there were some truly tragic parts to that crisis, it turns out there were also some good results, too. Quite by chance recently, two guests in the space of a couple of days told me stories about huge changes in their lives brought about by their travels around Covid times, and these stories were so interesting I quickly decided to create a whole episode on the topic. First up, I chat with Shannon O'Brien, an international school teacher who was actually working at a school in Shenzhen, China, at the start of 2020. During a school break for the Chinese New Year, Shannon flew to Sumatra, Indonesia, for a short holiday. Spoiler alert: it became a very long holiday! I then speak with Eva Westerling, a German doctor who in 2019 had decided that it was time for a big change and was contemplating a permanent shift to Morocco. When the pandemic hit, she and her partner were in the earliest stages of setting up a tourism business in Morocco, and then of course, no tourists came. My final guest is Eryn Gordon, who was working a corporate job in the United States when the pandemic began, and she soon found herself out of work. Instead of laying low like many of us did during Covid times, Eryn instead decided to get a new qualification and move to the other side of the world, to work in Seoul, South Korea.

The Mindful Healers Podcast with Dr. Jessie Mahoney and Dr. Ni-Cheng Liang
Giving a TEDx talk taught me a lot about nervous system regulation, self-trust, and choosing love over control. In a medical culture that rewards certainty and discourages vulnerability, visibility is a nervous system challenge. Standing on a red circle requires staying present when every instinct says to hide. Through the question "What would love do?", this episode offers a grounded framework for decision-making, leadership, and communication that integrates data, values, and human emotion. It is an invitation to choose integrity and presence when outcomes are uncertain and what we carry matters. PEARLS OF WISDOM • The questions we ask shape the answers we receive. Fear-based questions rarely lead us where we want to go. • "What would love do?" is not sentimental or self-sacrificing; it is grounded, honest, and committed to doing no harm, including to ourselves. • Physicians are trained to equate control with safety. • Visibility and vulnerability are nervous system challenges, not character flaws, and they can be practiced with intention. • Choosing love often means choosing discomfort in service of what matters most. Reflection Questions: Where in your life are you trying to manage or control when a different question might bring clarity? What decisions feel heavy right now, and how might they shift if you asked, "What would love do?" Where are you being invited to tolerate discomfort so something meaningful can grow? How might your work, relationships, or leadership change if you asked what love would do? CLOSING INVITATION Giving this TEDx talk deepened my trust in the question that has quietly guided my life and work for years. It reminded me that love stays present even when outcomes are uncertain, and that choosing reach over ease is often part of meaningful contribution. Please listen to the full TEDx talk here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRQwr8-ITBQ Please share it and spread love-based decision-making far and wide. It is more needed than ever right now. You sharing the talk is the way it will reach those who really need to hear it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. If you want to learn how to use this tool in your own life, join me for coaching or a retreat. www.jessiemahoneymd.com *Nothing shared in the Healing Medicine Podcast is medical advice.
In today's episode, Brandy works live with a volunteer experiencing low back pain, psoriatic arthritis and inflammation.. As the session unfolds, her pain drops from a level five down to zero in real time—offering a powerful demonstration of the mind-body connection in action. What makes this episode especially eye-opening is the deeper insight it reveals: how stress around money, support, and control can directly affect the body. You'll hear how subconscious emotional patterns—such as needing to do everything alone, feeling stressed or conflicted about money, or struggling to let support in—can unconsciously be connected to tension, inflammation, and physical symptoms. As these patterns begin to shift, the body responds immediately. ✨ In this episode, you'll discover: How stress around money and support can impact physical health Why emotional patterns that once helped you cope may later block healing The connection between control, safety, and chronic pain How emotional and energetic shifts can create rapid physical relief Why true healing requires both internal awareness and practical change This episode is heartfelt, insightful, and filled with genuine moments of humor, awareness, and transformation. It offers a compassionate reminder that healing often begins by addressing what's happening beneath the surface—not by pushing harder, but by shifting what's been running in the subconscious mind. If you've ever felt overwhelmed, unsupported, or stressed about money while dealing with health challenges, this episode may expand your awareness in a powerful way. Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal? Here's a demonstration of Brandy Gillmore working with volunteers under medical equipment, as featured in a medical journal.

In this co-hosted episode, Travis and Eric riff on TED vs. TEDx, the evolution of “thought leadership,” and why people love to critique things that have genuinely helped millions. They also dig into how ideas spread today, the difference between real credibility and checkbox credentials, and why simple, boring actions still beat fancy labels when it comes to actually making money. On this episode we talk about: * Whether TED and TEDx talks still matter for credibility in 2026* Why not all “bestselling author” or “TEDx speaker” titles are created equal* How great ideas rise above the noise regardless of the label on them* Why people love to criticize helpful platforms instead of doing the work themselves* When a TEDx talk or self-published book is actually worth doing for your brand Top 3 Takeaways 1. There's a massive difference between a TED talk and a TEDx talk—one is a global, highly curated stage, the other is much more accessible and variable in quality.2. Labels like “TEDx speaker” or “bestselling author” can help, but only if the underlying work is excellent; the best ideas and books win because they're good, not because of the stamp.3. Time spent tearing down platforms that help millions is usually better spent creating something great yourself and letting the market decide its value. Notable Quotes * “If you don't like it, just don't watch it—you don't need a Reddit thesis about why something that helps people is dumb.”* “It's the difference between an Amazon bestseller and a New York Times bestseller—same label, wildly different signal.”* “You have to earn the right not to do the things you don't like to do.” Connect with Travis: * Travis on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/travischappell* Travis on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/travischappell* Podcast: Travis Makes Money on all major podcast platforms - leave a review and we'll love you forever!* Website: https://travischappell.com Travis Makes Money is made possible by High Level – the All-In-One Sales & Marketing Platform built for agencies, by an agency.

They also created the Addi & Cassidy Fund, a resource for families impacted by Niemann Pick, Cyclodextrin, and a myriad of stories, and resources for families impacted by a wide range of rare diseases. Hugh has also served in a wide range of leadership positions, including Solutions Therapuetics, Sparkpr, Parent Advocist, N=1 Collaboration and Strainz.

This episode explores how subconscious beliefs and emotional patterns influence health, well-being, longevity, and the desire to fully live — and how healing those patterns can transform life itself. What if life itself isn't "too hard" — but unresolved subconscious patterns make it feel that way? In this powerful Quick IQ episode, Brandy Gillmore responds to a thoughtful listener question about life, longevity, death, and the subconscious mind — and gently pivots the conversation toward something far more empowering: loving life, wanting to live, longevity, and feeling deeply connected to being here. Drawing from decades of mind-body healing work, Brandy explains how subtle subconscious beliefs can quietly influence emotional health, physical well-being, and even longevity — often without conscious awareness. In this episode, you'll discover: How subconscious links such as "good people die young" or "you'll miss me when I'm gone" or even "wanting to die for others", can form — and why they matter Why the desire to live is often shaped at a subconscious level How emotional patterns like self-sacrifice, fear, loss, or unworthiness can affect the body Why life itself often isn't the problem — unhealed patterns are How clearing subconscious patterns can completely change how life feels Brandy also shares personal insight from her own life-changing injury — including how rewiring her subconscious mind didn't just help her heal physically, but helped her fall deeply back in love with life. This episode isn't about fear or negativity. It's about awareness, empowerment, and possibility. ✨ When emotional patterns heal, life can feel lighter✨ When the mind shifts, the body can respond✨ When you genuinely love your life, it can fuel health and longevity Brandy explains why learning to work with your mind is a skill — much like learning any other — and how greater understanding makes healing, growth, and transformation more natural over time. If you've ever felt like life was heavy…If you've noticed repeating emotional or health patterns…Or if you're curious about how the subconscious mind truly influences healing and longevity… This episode offers compassionate insight and mind-expanding insights! Do you want to see proof of the power of the mind in a medical journal? Here's a demonstration of Brandy Gillmore working with volunteers under medical equipment, as featured in a medical journal.

In this second of two episodes, Julie asks Savannah about the journey she and other gender-expansive persons have experienced from a tender age of 5-years-old, to the draw to the feminine, to the resulting shame and guilt one might experience during their secretive discovery of self, to accepting and fianlly becoming expansive in a still-gender-rigid world. Savannah and Julie talk frankly and emotionally about a life with some regrets, and a lot of hope.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

Her latest achievements are two TEDx Talks, one entitled "Demystifying the Crossdressing Experience" and the other "13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression". Savannah is a male-to-female dual-gender crossdresser who is visible in the Upstate of South Carolina, active in local groups and advocating as a public speaker at LGBTQ+ conferences and workshops across the United States.

We republish “MLK: What They Won't Teach in School”—our 2017 inaugural episode—each MLK Day as a reminder of the civil rights leader's lasting impact, the movement's ongoing struggle, and still unrealized goals.

In today's Self-Healing Insight episode, Brandy Gillmore shares surprising breakthroughs from working with a live volunteer—revealing how emotional patterns that feel normal or even empowering can become linked to physical pain without us ever questioning them. You'll hear how emotions like: Feeling left out Feeling criticized Even feeling rebellious or resistant can subtly reinforce pain in the body—especially when they go unnoticed. In this session, several subtle awareness shifts helped a volunteer begin reducing her pain in real time—and opened the door to understanding why healing can feel confusing, inconsistent, or stalled, even when someone feels like they've done everything right.
