What if everything we've been told about society's problems is missing the bigger picture? In this powerful episode of The MisFitNation Show, host Rich LaMonica sits down with retired U.S. Army Colonel Scott Paradis for a deep conversation about leadership, personal responsibility, economic systems, political division, human potential, and the future of civilization itself. Drawing from a distinguished 30-year military career, service in Congress, experience as a National Security Fellow at Harvard University, and over a decade of research and authorship, Scott presents a thought-provoking perspective on what he calls the "Five Storms" converging across society today. Together, Rich and Scott explore whether humanity is facing collapse—or standing at the threshold of a major evolutionary leap. Throughout the conversation, Scott challenges listeners to rethink power, question fear-based narratives, understand the influence of money and institutions, and recognize the role each individual plays in shaping the future. This episode dives into: • The difference between societal collapse and societal transformation• Why fear remains one of the most powerful tools of influence• The growing divide between wealth, power, and opportunity• How technology is reshaping human behavior and relationships• The hidden impact of political polarization• The importance of awareness and personal responsibility• Why human connection may be the key to navigating uncertainty• Lessons learned from military leadership, Capitol Hill, and Harvard• The concept of Apocalypse vs. Evolution• What signs humanity should watch for over the next five years• How individuals can reclaim their power and influence their future Scott also discusses themes from his books, TEDx Talk, leadership programs, and his latest work examining whether the chaos we see around us is evidence of decline—or a catalyst for growth. If you've ever wondered: "Why does the world feel so divided?""Who really holds power?""Is humanity headed toward collapse?""What can I actually do to make a difference?" This conversation is for you. About Scott Paradis Scott Paradis is a retired U.S. Army Colonel, former Congressional Fellow in the United States Senate, former National Security Fellow at Harvard University, TEDx Speaker, leadership expert, educator, and author of 11 books focused on leadership, personal development, success, economics, and human potential.

Send us Fan MailYou can feel it when your old life still “works” but your body has already started to leave. Beth Clayton joins us to talk about threshold moments, the ones that don't respond to hustle or optimization because they're asking for an identity death. We trace Beth's path from acting to coaching, somatic mentorship, and ceremonialist work, including the tender grief of putting down a beloved dream and the unexpected freedom that can follow a chosen crossing.We also unpack a pattern so many women live inside without naming it: the good girl as a nervous system protector. Beth shares how “good girl syndrome” isn't just people pleasing, it can look like overachieving, cool detachment, avoidance, or doing it all alone. We explore how protectors form through conditioning, attachment pain, and patriarchy, and why your mind may feel liberated while your body still braces against truth, power, intimacy, and pleasure.From somatic work to ritual and end-of-life awareness, we talk about what helps you cross without getting dragged: being witnessed, making space for grief, and learning to relate to protectors with curiosity instead of war. We close with the inner elder, the part of you that can take life seriously while holding it lightly, and how connecting to that wisdom can change what the past even means in your body.Three Truths from this Episode1. Every transformation requires a death.Real transformation isn't about optimizing yourself—it's about crossing a threshold. Every new version of you asks you to grieve a version you once loved. Sometimes we choose that crossing. Sometimes the crossing chooses us. Either way, becoming requires letting go.  2. Your protectors aren't your enemy.The parts of you that procrastinate, overachieve, people-please, avoid conflict, or try to stay in control aren't broken—they're protecting something. The invitation isn't to fight them, but to get curious, listen, and allow them to become guides instead of guards.  3. We aren't meant to cross thresholds alone.Whether you're grieving, becoming a mother, changing careers, ending a relationship, receiving a diagnosis, or simply becoming more yourself, witnessing matters. Many of life's biggest initiations go unnamed. Healing begins when we allow ourselves to be accompanied through them.  Journaling PromptsWhat version of myself am I still trying to keep alive, even though I know she's ready to be released?Where in my life am I standing with one foot in my old world and one foot in my new one?Which of my “protectors” tends to show up most often—my people pleaser, my overachiever, my perfectionist, my avoider, my lone wolf? What is she trying to protect?Where am I waiting to be dragged across a threshold instead of choosing to cross it?What grief in my life has never truly been witnessed?What part of me is asking to come home?Practices to Explore This WeekName your threshold.Instead of waiting until life forces change upon you, ask yourself:What threshold am I standing at right now?Simply naming it often changes how you move through it.  Have a conversation with your protector.Instead of trying to silence the part of yourself that's scared, perfectionistic, controlling, or avoiding…Ask:What are you protecting me from?What do you need me to know?What would help you feel safe enough to soften?As Beth reminds us, you don't fight your protectors—you invite them in.  Create a ritual of release.Thresholds deserve ceremony.Write a letter to the version of yourself you're releasing. Thank her. Name what she protected. Read it aloud. Burn it, bury it, or place it somewhere meaningful as a physical marker that you're crossing into a new season.Resources Beth's WebsiteFollow Beth on IG: @bethclaytoncoachBeth Clayton's Good Girl Protector Quiz, a free assessment to discover your primary protector archetype and learn how it shapes your relationships, purpose, money, and self-expression.  Beth's work can be found through her website, Instagram, and Substack, where she teaches on the Good Girl, Sacred Rebel, embodiment, and threshold work.  Beyond the Veil Retreat (New City, New York): Beth will be leading Crossing Thresholds: Living What Death Teaches, a transformative workshop on using the wisdom of death to navigate life's many initiations. Through somatic practices, guided reflection, and journaling, participants will explore what they're ready to release, what is waiting to emerge, and how to move through life's thresholds with greater courage, clarity, and embodiment.Watch Beth's TEDx Talk  on Self Sabotage“Something truer is coming in—but not without loss.” Support the showBuy your copy of Elena's book "Grieve Outside the Box"Follow on IG @elenabox

Marie Claire Lim Moore has built one of the most remarkable careers in corporate Asia.CEO of TransUnion Asia Pacific. Author of two books. TEDx speaker. Mother of three. A Filipina immigrant who climbed to the top of one of the world's leading data and analytics companies without ever pretending to be someone she wasn't.But this conversation isn't about the résumé.It's about what the résumé costs. And what it's worth.Ten years ago, Claire stood on a TEDx stage and asked a question that stopped rooms: how can we have so many tiger moms and so few tiger women? Asian women dominate classrooms, top university rankings, and outperform in early careers. Then, somewhere between ambition and expectation, they disappear from the leadership table.A decade later, the numbers are moving. But the inner game, the guilt, the fear, the daily negotiation between who you are at work and who you are at home, that part hasn't changed.Claire is one of the most honest voices on what it actually looks like to lead 500 people across Asia Pacific, raise three teenagers, stay married for 17 years, and still feel afraid of disappointing the people you love most.Not the polished version. The real one.We talk about the moment her parents' disappointment, over a forgotten bar of soap, inspired a bestselling book and reminded her never to forget where she came from. We talk about the mentor who told her: at work, you're replaceable, at home, you're not and how that one line became a decision-making framework. We talk about why perfectionism is just fear in disguise, why work-life balance is useless as a philosophy but powerful as a daily practice, and why the question isn't whether you can have it all, it's whether you're asking the right question in the first place.And at the end, she answers the one question no host has ever asked her.The answer will stay with you.Apply to work with me: https://www.michaelxcampion.com/Connect with me: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelxcampion/Guest - Marie Claire Lim Moore: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marieclairelimmoore/Marie Claire Lim Moore is the CEO of TransUnion Asia Pacific, leading a team of approximately 500 people across the region.

His love of the Irish language grew after spending time in East Timor teaching English. Experiencing life in a multilingual society led him to question why Ireland often makes such a “song and dance” about bilingualism.After returning to Ireland, Colm studied communications and worked with the Irish-language newspapers Lá and Gaelscéal. He now works in the non-profit sector but continues to contribute actively to public conversations about the Irish language, language attitudes, and language policy.While working in journalism, Colm became increasingly interested in the myths and misconceptions frequently repeated about Irish. This led him to develop a myth-busting campaign with Conradh na Gaeilge that examines common claims about the language and their impact on public attitudes. The campaign has included public talks, webinars, educational resources for teachers, YouTube videos, media appearances, and a TEDx Talk.Colm's writing has appeared in The Irish Times, TheJournal.ie, and other publications, and he has been interviewed on RTÉ Radio 1, Raidió na Gaeltachta, Raidió na Life, Raidió Fáilte and BBC Radio. He believes that myths and misunderstandings about Irish continue to have a real and negative effect on the language, and much of his work focuses on challenging those assumptions through evidence, history, and public discussion.Learn more:Ted Talk InstagramConradh na Gaeilge This is a public episode.

In this episode, hosts Lee-Sean Huang and Giulia Donatello welcome back Rinat Sherzer—a biotech engineer, transdisciplinary designer, artist, and adjunct professor at Parsons School of Design whose work sits at the intersection of science, technology, and social justice. Together, they discuss the deep human construct of hope, unpacking how it differs from mere wishful thinking and exploring how designers can act as vital conduits for it. Rinat shares her journey from scientific training to social innovation, the unpredictable ripple effects of her global projects, and how she balances multi-sensory design, teaching, and motherhood through an intentional quarterly focus. In This EpisodeThe logic of the backward glance. Rinat shares her journey from biotechnology engineering into tech and ultimately to design for social innovation. Mirroring Steve Jobs' famous sentiment, she notes that the dots of a multidisciplinary career can often only be connected in hindsight. The history and bad rep of hope. When researching the framework of hope for her PhD, Rinat was struck by its historical negativity. From Plato viewing it as an unreliable guide to Nietzsche labeling it the worst of all evils, it wasn't until Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning in 1946 that hope was structurally recognized as a vital resource for human survival. The three dimensions of hope framework. Moving beyond Richard Snyder's purely cognitive, goal-oriented approach, Rinat's framework treats hope as an embodied, immersive experience. It breaks down into three dimensions: the extreme moment (crisis or joy) where hope is born, the greater social good if that hope comes to fruition, and the concrete, physical action an individual can take. Breaking bread and multi-sensory co-design. Rinat breaks down her immersive project, The Rebirth of Hope, which utilizes sound and taste to tap into primal, nonverbal memories. By choosing raw ingredients that resonate with their personal dimensions of hope, participants create a literal "bite of hope" to consume collectively, bridging the deeply personal with the universal synergy of a group. Translating data into human music. The Rebirth of Hope project actively translated participant choices into real-time visual musical scores. By mapping hope attributes to chords, rhythm, and melody, a live band performed the collective, experimental music of the exhibition's audience. The accountability gap in design education. As a faculty member at Parsons, Rinat addresses the split between the theory of "design for good" and the messy reality of execution. She argues that standard academic design thinking often leaves prototyping and testing to the very end, missing the vital skills of real-world implementation, business case development, and multi-team collaboration. The organizing cadence of a year. To juggle a global teaching schedule, running her studio (The Creative Lab), artistic output, and raising her son Luca, Rinat rejects daily micromanagement. Instead, she structures her life by dividing the year into quarters, allowing herself to intensely focus on one major priority at a time while setting strict, non-negotiable boundaries for family.

What does it mean to find your voice? Your ability to communicate confidently, influence others and share your perspective has never been more important, yet finding your voice is far more than about being a confident public speaker. It is about recognising the value of your contribution and having the confidence to share it. In this empowering conversation with Gill McKay, award-winning TEDx speaker, author and speaker coach, we explore what it means to find your voice and why so many people struggle to do so, and end up 'staying small'. With a background in neuroscience, Gill has helped hundreds of people overcome their imposter syndrome to share their ideas and stories with greater impact. She is passionate about helping people recognise that their views and messages matter, and that they can create an impetus for change through sharing their voice. Together, we explore the internal narratives that cause people to play small, the impact of dominant voices in teams, and why curiosity, confidence and a reframe on service can help people move beyond fear and self-doubt. Gill's message rings clear- your voice matters.  What you will learn in this episode: Why capable professionals hold themselves back from speaking How organisational culture can influence who speaks and who stays silent Confidence is built through action, rather than waiting until you feel ready The mindset shift that can move you forward  How curiosity can help you overcome fear, self-doubt and limiting beliefs The role of silence, listening and thoughtful contribution in effective communication Where might you be holding back a perspective that could add value?

In this second of two episodes, Julie chats with Savannah about the profound "first time" that one sees their true femme self in the mirror... that first fateful time when the reflection in the mirror stops being just a biological male and starts being the more authentic and grounded female spirit. Julie and Savannah read listener letters and comment about how often there are commonalities to the catalysts to discovering ones femme essence and yet how individualized every expereince truly is. -----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.

In episode 369 of The Real Jason Duncan Podcast, most high earners are sprinting toward a number that will never set them free — and the worst part is, everything around them says they're winning. Edward Collins, president and CEO of Up Level by Design, learned this truth the hard way. The year he finally hit seven figures in revenue, his accountant handed him a $352,000 tax bill — and in that single moment, across a mahogany desk buried in paper, his entire worldview shifted. He wasn't a millionaire. He'd made a million. There's a brutal difference. And if no one has ever explained that difference to you, this episode is going to cost you nothing and save you everything. In this episode, Jason and Edward break down: Why more income is a vanity metric — and what actually builds real wealth The exact moment Edward realized gross means nothing without net How the tax code is a recipe book, not a system designed to rob you The difference between assets and liabilities (and why most people have it backwards) Why your "stuff" isn't success — it's a liability parade you're funding The financial freedom formula in 10 words that changes how you see money forever How to stop the biggest wealth leaks: taxation, lifestyle drift, and capital misallocation Why being in the right room with the right people is the real shortcut to wealth What it costs you — over a decade and across generations — to stay inside this lie The one thing every entrepreneur should do first before investing a single dollar If you've ever gotten to the end of a great income year and wondered where the money went — this conversation is your answer.

Disruption is often viewed as something to avoid or manage. But what if it could become one of the most effective catalysts for meaningful change? In this episode of Finding Brave, I sit down with Dr. Patrick Leddin to unpack why disruption is not the enemy many of us believe it to be, and how learning to work with it can truly transform our lives and careers. Dr. Patrick Leddin is a former Airborne Ranger infantry officer, entrepreneur, global keynote speaker, and longtime Vanderbilt University faculty member whose research focuses on how leaders and organizations can thrive through disruption. He is also the host of The Disruption Lab with Patrick Leddin, PhD, and the co-author, with James Patterson, of the New York Times bestselling book Disrupt Everything―and Win. Drawing on years of research and conversations with leaders across industries, Patrick shares what he's learned about embracing change and using disruption as a force for good. In our conversation, Patrick shares what he's hearing from leaders as AI reshapes organizations and creates new opportunities and uncertainties. Through research, business case studies, and his own experiences in the military and the business world, he explores what it means to thrive in ambiguity when the rules are being rewritten in real time. He explains why the most disruptive thing you can do sometimes is say "no" to change and why taking time to discern the right response can make all the difference when facing uncertainty. He also shares insights on navigating career disruption in the era of AI-driven change, developing the strengths of a Positive Disrupter, and building teams that can adapt when the future feels uncertain. Listen in for a refreshing and uplifting perspective on embracing disruption and what happens when you view it as an invitation to rethink what's possible.

In this episode of the Two Piers Podcast, Erica D'Eramo is joined by Naeemah Elias, a TEDx speaker, leadership coach, and founder of Elias Presence Ventures.Naeemah's signature message, “Thriving as an Outsider,” explores how difference can become a source of influence and impact. In this conversation, Erica and Naeemah discuss what it means to navigate spaces that were not designed with you in mind, and how outsider identities shape the rules, assumptions, and survival strategies we carry into work and life.Together, they explore:What it means to experience yourself as an outsiderHow family, class, culture, race, neurodivergence, and professional norms shape the “rules” we inheritWeaponized gratitude and how it can discourage people from advocating for themselvesThe value of mentors, sponsors, coaches, and trusted advisorsWhy networking is really about building relationships that help us interpret unfamiliar systemsHow to navigate salary negotiations with more clarity and confidenceThe difference between useful adaptation and unsustainable code-switchingWhy authenticity matters during interviews and career transitionsNaeemah also shares practical guidance for people navigating unfamiliar professional environments, including the importance of asking for feedback, building a personal board of advisors, taking time before responding to job offers, and learning the unspoken rules without losing yourself in the process.Her key takeaway for listeners: phone a friend. When something feels uncomfortable, confusing, or unfamiliar, find someone who understands the terrain and can help you interpret what is happening. You do not have to navigate it alone.About Naeemah EliasNaeemah Elias is a TEDx speaker, leadership coach, and founder of Elias Presence Ventures.

In this first of two episodes, Julie chats with Savannah about the profound "first time" that one sees their true femme self in the mirror... that first fateful time when the reflection in the mirror stops being just a biological male and starts being the more authentic and grounded female spirit. Julie and Savannah read listener letters and comment about how often there are commonalities to the catalysts to discovering ones femme essence and yet how individualized every experience truly is. -----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.

In this episode, Savannah discussed with Julie the struggles she is experiencing in the aftermath of her breakup with her long-time partner, Judy (as revealed in ep 261). In light of the breakup, Savannah worries that she is not as credible as she should be because as an author, advocate, podcaster, and speaker, she should have been able to make the relationship work. The discussion goes into the territory of one's intent, sincerity, growth and evolution over time, and finding grace and kindness for oneself.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“.

This conversation I have with my friend Laurie Shopland opened with a prayer, and what surfaced in that prayer set the tone for everything that followed. Laurie's story includes a stranger who walked up to her husband in a church lobby one Sunday, told him he was actually there to talk to her, and delivered a word so specific that she's read it at least once a week ever since. In this conversation, we trace how she got from ritual religion and real anger at God... to 4:30am morning prayer with her husband, a three-year TED Talk journey through two rejections, and what it looks like when God starts inviting you further out than feels financially safe.Laurie Shopland is a coach and speaker from Canada who works at the intersection of emotional wellbeing, identity, and truth-telling. She recently gave a TEDx Talk on truth-telling and the misuse of non-disclosure agreements, and she's on a path of what she describes as being a lighthouse to the nation.Here's what we explore:▪️ Why we discount what God says to us through other people... even when it's exactly right▪️ Laurie's faith story: from a denomination of ritual (not relationship), through loss and anger at God, to a Holy Spirit moment she didn't go looking for▪️ What secular corporate coaching looks like when you know every moment of peace is the Holy Spirit▪️ The fear underneath the invitation to bring God more explicitly into her work, and the financial scarcity sitting under that▪️ Three years and two rejections: the TED Talk journey and why the timing couldn't have been any earlier▪️ Learning to stop softening what you hear from God and just stand in it▪️ A vision of a clock and a little toy, and why those two images have become her daily anchorChapters:00:00 Intro and Introducing Laurie Shopland02:06 Opening Prayer03:32 The Vision Story: When God Confirmed Himself Through a Stranger09:41 Laurie's Faith Story: From Ritual Religion and Anger to a Holy Spirit Encounter13:58 Helping People Find Peace in Corporate Settings Without Saying "God"17:15 The Fear of Going Further With God-Language at Work20:41 Three Years, Two Rejections, and the Perfect Timing of a TED Talk27:20 What Daily Listening to God Actually Looks Like31:05 Learning to Speak With Authority About What You Hear From God40:50 The Clock and the Stillness: Trusting God's TimingIf something in this conversation landed for you, I'd just love for you to sit with it... and notice what God might want you to receive from it.

DescriptionIn this episode of Perfect Prey, I'm joined by Ann Burgess, pioneering forensic nurse, researcher, educator, and author of Expert Witness. Ann's groundbreaking work transformed how professionals understand trauma, victimization, sexual violence, and offender behavior. Her research has influenced criminal investigations, forensic psychology, victim advocacy, and some of the most well-known criminal cases in modern history.Together, we explore the long-term impact of trauma, why victims are so often disbelieved, and how systems continue to fail those who come forward. Ann shares insights from decades of work studying victims, offenders, serial violence, child abuse, and the psychology of coercion and control. We also discuss institutional betrayal, trauma responses in children and adults, family court failures, pornography, grooming, and what it takes to create meaningful change within systems that were never designed to fully protect victims.What we coverAnn Burgess's pioneering work in victimology and forensic nursingHow trauma impacts behavior across the lifespanWhy victims are often disbelieved by systems and institutionsInstitutional betrayal and systemic failuresCoercive control, fear, and psychological abuseTrauma responses in children and adolescentsChild sexual abuse and delayed disclosureFamily court, victim credibility, and expert testimonyThe role of pornography and grooming in abusive behaviorThe Menendez case and evolving understandings of traumaWhy trauma-informed education is critical for professionalsHow offender thinking patterns develop and escalateWhy listenIf you are a survivor, clinician, attorney, advocate, educator, or protective parent, this episode offers a rare opportunity to hear from one of the most influential voices in trauma and victim research.Ann Burgess's work helped shape how we understand trauma today.

Often, our most important growth comes from letting go of who we think we're supposed to be. And for many women, their 40s can be a transformative decade of reexamining long-held expectations and getting closer to who they really are. In this episode of Finding Brave, I have the pleasure of sitting down with journalist and author Stacey Lindsay to explore why this often misunderstood decade deserves a more honest and deep exploration. Stacey is the author of the new book Being 40: The Decade of Letting Go—and Embracing Who We Are and a senior editor at Maria Shriver's Sunday Paper. Through extensive research and personal reflection, Stacey explores why the 40s can be such a pivotal decade for women. In our conversation, Stacey shares what inspired her to write the book and why she became fascinated by women's experiences in their 40s. I'm truly honored to be featured in Stacey's important and eye-opening book. Today we discuss the courage required to tell the truth about our lives, the challenges of letting go of societal pressures, and the reality that this stage of life can be both difficult and deeply liberating. We explore the many transitions that often converge during this decade, from changing bodies and evolving careers to caregiving responsibilities and shifting personal priorities. Stacey also reflects on the importance of reconnecting with ourselves, embracing vulnerability, and finding comfort in the stories of others. At its heart, this conversation is about giving ourselves permission to live more authentically and release the expectations that no longer serve us.  Tune in for an insightful and uplifting discussion about aging, identity, and what it means to fully embrace who you are becoming. Key Points From This Episode: Introducing Stacey Lindsay and her new book, Being 40. [01:59] What Stacey found most daunting about the writing process. [07:55] The inspiration behind Stacey's book: why she wanted to write about women in their 40s. [12:13] The expectations women carry and what becomes possible when they let them go. [17:58] What surprised Stacey most during her conversations with women. [19:54] How our mothers and early role models continue to shape us into midlife.

I think the feminist movement goes through a different wave every day, right? We take three steps forward, two steps back, all of us, but we persevere." — Stacey Lindsay [0:12:51] "When we really look at the things that we've been carrying that never served us and will never serve us—ideas about how we should look, how we should be, how we should mother, how we should act—when we start to put those down, I found we actually free up a lot more energy to put toward our strength, to face the hard stuff, and then find more joy." — Stacey Lindsay [0:18:27] "Another thing I deeply hope somebody takes from this book is a companionship with oneself, ultimately. We can become cleaved from ourselves in many ways when we are checking all the boxes, thinking we're doing all the right things." — Stacey Lindsay [0:21:13] "What has gotten me closer to myself is the company of another woman's story.

I don't want to apologize anymore. There's this radical coolness about this decade." — Stacey Lindsay [0:33:15] Watch our Finding Brave episodes on YouTube!

A listener recently asked Brandy a simple question: "Can you explain your approach to self-healing in just two minutes?" It sounds like a simple question, but the answer reveals something many people overlook. In this episode, Brandy shares a logical, science-informed approach to self-healing and mind-body healing, while breaking down some of the biggest misconceptions that can keep people stuck. You'll discover: Why a positive mindset can help support healing—but is often not enough on its own Why the mind-body connection is more specific than most people realize The surprising reason people can unknowingly hold onto the very patterns they're trying to release Why meditation, affirmations, positive thinking, and belief may be helpful—but don't always create lasting transformation by themselves The core principles behind Brandy's approach to creating genuine change Whether you're brand new to mind-body healing or you've been studying the power of the mind for years, this episode provides a simple roadmap for understanding what it really means to create transformation at a deeper level. If you've ever wondered what makes Brandy's approach different, this episode is a great place to start. 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.   Free Resources and Frequently Asked Questions & Resources Q: How can I heal myself from chronic pain or illness?

Welcome to Season 6, Episode 22! Professor Ming Hsu Chen is the Harry & Lillian Hastings Research Chair and Faculty-Director of the Race, Immigration, Citizenship, and Equality Program, University of California Law, San Francisco. Chen teaches courses in constitutional law, citizenship, immigration, and race. She brings a socio-legal perspective to the study of race, immigration, and the administrative state.  With the upcoming decision on Trump vs. Barbara, the constitutionality of Executive Order 14160 is in question. This case which has the potential to redefine birthright citizenship may have a huge impact on 14th Amendment and the rights of tens of thousands of people born in the country to immigrant parents.  She is also the author of Pursuing Citizenship in the Enforcement Era (Stanford University Press, 2020) and speaks widely on birthright citizenship… including giving a TEDx Talk in 2020 based on her book. In our conversation we talk about the 14th Amendment, Wong Kim Ark, Executive Order 14160 and Trump vs Barbara, how questions of the unknown drives fear, Constitutional Originalists, and so much more.   If you like what we do, please share, follow, and like us in your podcast directory of choice or on Instagram @AAHistory101.

In this powerful and deeply personal episode, Savio P. Clemente — two-time cancer survivor, TEDx speaker, and creator of Adaptive Resilience Leadership — shares how a life-saving stem cell transplant he calls his “medical rebirth” completely transformed the way he thinks about pressure, performance, and leadership. After beating cancer twice and conducting over 2,000 interviews as a journalist, Savio developed a breakthrough framework that helps healthcare executives and high-level leaders close the dangerous “Post-Crisis Leadership Gap” — that silent period after a major challenge when decision quality collapses even though everything looks fine on the surface. Savio reveals why most leaders unknowingly suffer from cognitive fatigue, how to restore clarity and judgment under sustained pressure, and the practical tools (including his A.L.O.H.A. Reboot) that turn adversity into long-term advantage. Whether you're a CEO, healthcare leader, or simply navigating your own crisis, this conversation delivers actionable strategies for building resilience that actually works. Savio's best-selling book I Survived Cancer. Here's How I Did It is currently being considered for film and television adaptation, and his TEDx Talk “7 Minutes to Wellness: How to Love Your Inner Stranger” continues to inspire audiences worldwide.

From competing for over a decade to coaching women of all ages and backgrounds, Solana shares why powerlifting is about so much more than numbers on a barbell.    Together, they dive into confidence, discipline, community, self-belief, and the life-changing impact of getting stronger both physically and mentally.

Sometimes the hardest part is not the work itself. It is the waiting... Waiting for the shift. Waiting to feel better. Waiting for your body, your emotions, or your life to finally change. And when you have been hoping, trying, and expecting things to move forward—but they still have not—it can feel confusing and discouraging. In this powerful episode, Brandy shares a deeper look at how hidden subconscious programming can quietly shape a person's emotions, health, relationships, and ability to move forward. Brandy explores how simple childhood experiences, cultural patterns, and even nursery rhymes can create subconscious associations with fear, injury, illness, love, attention, or connection. And when these links remain unaddressed, they can quietly contribute to heaviness, stress, anxiety, emotional triggers, or feeling stuck. This episode is not about blame or endlessly digging through trauma. It is about becoming more aware of what may be stored in the subconscious mind so you can begin to clear what no longer serves you—and experience more lightness, freedom, joy, and empowerment. If you have ever felt like you are waiting for the breakthrough you have been hoping for, this episode may help you see what could be happening beneath the surface—and why identifying hidden subconscious patterns can feel so freeing.

What if there was one key insight that could make the healing journey feel less confusing, less random, and more empowering? In this powerful quick IQ episode, Brandy answers a heartfelt question from a listener who has been trying to heal for more than 20 years and wants to know: If there was just one thing a person needed to know to help themselves heal, what would it be? Her answer may surprise you. In this episode, Brandy shares why so many people unintentionally stay stuck, even when they are doing meditation, mindset work, personal development, or spiritual practices. She reveals how the mind can be deeply counterintuitive — and why some well-intended practices may unknowingly reinforce the very patterns a person is trying to heal. She also explores the connection between love, loneliness, subconscious associations, and the mind-body connection in a way that makes healing feel clearer, more logical, and more empowering! This episode is perfect for anyone who has been trying everything, feels stuck, or wants a deeper understanding of what may be missing on their healing journey.
