How can leaders heal from their own wounds? Why does emotional and spiritual health matter so deeply for those who are called to lead?Historian and Seminary Professor Dr. Nicholas Rowe and his wife, SheilaWise Rowe, author and counselor, have seen the ways unprocessed pain and trauma can impact leaders. While countless resources aim to help leaders grow in skill and strategy, few address the inner pain and unhealed wounds that many carry silently. In their new book, **Healing Leadership Trauma: Finding Emotional Health and Helping Others Flourish**, Nicholas and Sheila confront this gap head-on, offering a holistic and deeply spiritual roadmap for leaders to find healing, restoration, and renewed purpose.In this powerful and timely episode , Davey talks with Nicholas and Sheila about how our early formation can impact our connection with God and others, the ways unresolved trauma can unconsciously influence our decisions and leadership style, and why we need to consider the weight of leadership before we even step into it. Whether you're a pastor, teacher, nonprofit leader, entrepreneur, or parent, this conversation is an invitation to pause, reflect, and allow God to tend to your soul—so you can lead from a place of emotional health while helping others flourish.

Histamine intolerance is typically mild, but Mastocytosis is the most severe form of mast cell disorder—often taking nearly a decade to diagnose. Symptoms can affect multiple organs, from rashes and GI issues to life-threatening anaphylaxis, and standard treatments like low-histamine diets and antihistamines often fail.Many doctors aren't familiar with testing or treatment options for mast cell issues like Mastocytosis and MCAS.Today, I'm joined by Dr. Mariana Castells, a leading expert in allergy and immunology at Brigham and Women's Hospital. She directs the renowned Mastocytosis Center and the Drug Hypersensitivity and Desensitization Center.Even if you have histamine intolerance or MCAS, this episode offers key insights on histamine, testing, and finding real relief—because no one should suffer needlessly.⭐️Mentioned in This Episode:- Connect with Dr. Castells at https://bit.ly/3ItFhU2 - Histamine Overload Masterclass

Is corporate worship just the transfer of information? Or to whip up our emotions into a frenzy? Or does corporate worship do something else?In this episode, host Geoff Holsclaw engages with Reverend Dr. Joshua Cockayne about corporate worship, joint attention in spiritual formation, and perspectives from developmental psychology, attachment theory, and neuroscience. This episode challenges the traditional dichotomy between cognition and affect, proposing a more nuanced understanding of worship as a communal, transformative experience.Dr Joshua Cockayne is the Director of the Bede Centre for Church Planting Theology at Cranmer Hall in Durham, UK, where he also lectures on mission and evangelism. He is the co-author of several books, including Dawn of Sunday: The Trinity and Trauma Safe Churches, and more recently, Why We Gather: Psychology, Theology and Liturgical Practice.Join the launch team for Landscapes of the Soul by filling out this form (hit the title to buy the book).

Send us a textHave you ever wondered why you feel heavy, stuck, or off—despite doing everything “right”?In this soul-illuminating episode of The Soul-Led CEO, trauma-informed therapist, scientist, and former FTSE 250 executive Dr Amen Kaur offers a powerful reframe: Trauma isn't just what happened to you. It's what your body did to survive. And chances are, it's still running in the background—shaping your nervous system, your sense of worth, and how you show up in leadership, business, and relationships.This episode is a permission slip for high-achieving, spiritually-conscious women who are tired of chasing “normal.” Because let's be honest—what even is normal?Amen unpacks how trauma hides in plain sight: in perfectionism, overgiving, people-pleasing, and the constant push to prove you're enough. Through science-backed insights and personal storytelling, she explains why trauma healing isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about witnessing what's been carrying you for too long, and gently laying it down.If success has come at the cost of your nervous system, your joy, or your voice… this conversation will land like a breath of truth. You'll discover how reclaiming safety within your body unlocks presence, prosperity, and the energy to finally live—and lead—from wholeness.✨ Think of it like rebooting your internal system.

As good as our parents may have been, no one gets out of childhood without experiencing a few painful or traumatic events. These moments, big or small, can leave lasting impressions that shape how we see ourselves, others, and the world around us. And more often than we realize, those unhealed wounds can quietly follow us into adulthood... and even into our businesses. In today's episode, I'm diving into how unresolved pain and childhood trauma can subtly (or not so subtly) show up in our professional lives, affecting everything from decision-making and leadership to confidence and communication. You might be surprised by how much of your internal story is influencing your external success. This is the first installment in a powerful three-part series. So I invite you to listen with an open heart, reflect deeply, and really absorb the wisdom and freedom that's being offered here. There is healing available, and it starts with awareness.

In this episode of The Jimmy Rex Show, Jimmy sits down with his good friend Thomas Dockstader — author of The Chi Codes, founder of The Chi Codes company, and a powerful leader inside “We Are The They.” Raised in a strict FLDS polygamist community under Warren Jeffs, Thomas shares the raw details of growing up inside a closed-off religious sect, being indoctrinated daily, and the moment he chose to walk away from it all at just 18 years old. His early life reads like a movie — from wearing pilgrim-style clothes in West Jordan to working grueling construction jobs across the Southwest while hiding his true family story.Thomas opens up about how childhood shame, hidden trauma, and deeply buried beliefs led him down a path of severe alcoholism, multiple marriages, and even a near-suicide attempt on his front lawn. But this story is far from over. He dives into the moments that transformed him — the life-threatening coma from a brutal assault, the pivotal realization that alcohol was only masking deeper pain, and the way transcendental meditation and ayahuasca ceremonies ultimately led him to profound self-acceptance and purpose.Today, Thomas is eight years sober and dedicates his life to helping others break through their own patterns of shame and addiction. He shares how he turned his past into a mission — offering his teachings, free courses, and powerful message of hope to anyone ready to heal. Whether you've faced addiction, struggled with identity, or just want to hear an incredible redemption story, this conversation will hit home and leave you inspired.

Do you ever feel like you are too much? Too emotional? Too needy? If you do, then this episode is for you. Today, Laura is going to talk about where the belief that you are a burden comes from, how to identify it, how to talk to that inner child about it, and then learn to reclaim the space you deserve.

In this powerful exploration of Chapter 2 of DeVerne Fromke's "The Ultimate Intention," we uncover a profound truth: God's plan is far greater than just redemption from the Fall.

Michele Weldon, Boomer, award-winning author, journalist, and emerita faculty member at Northwestern University, joins us to reflect on the deeply personal and cultural shifts we experienced during the pandemic years. Through her latest book, The Time We Have: Essays on Pandemic Living, Michele invites us to examine how the global crisis changed everything—from how we work to how we grieve.With her signature wit and emotional clarity, Michele shares how writing through 2020–2024 became both a mirror and a memory, capturing what so many of us felt but never had the words to say. From holding our breath when strangers passed by to the fear of unknowingly infecting loved ones, Michele gives voice to our collective anxiety, love, loss, and resilience.

We're talking about a topic that touches so many lives but is still so misunderstood. Trauma and its profound impact on our minds and bodies. I'm joined once again by Dr. Ken Yeager, a leading expert whose career has been dedicated to understanding trauma, neuroscience, and the power of nervous system regulation.In this conversation, we unpack what trauma really does to us. Not just emotionally, but neurologically. We explore how adverse life events, especially early in life, can literally rewire our brains, influencing everything from our daily decisions to our sense of safety in the world. Dr. Yeager explains the science behind the fight, flight, and freeze responses, and why high-pressure professions like journalism, healthcare, and law can leave us feeling chronically on edge.You'll hear personal stories from my own journey as a journalist and trauma survivor, and we'll talk about the realities of living in a society that demands more, faster—and why that's making so many of us unwell. More importantly, we focus on hope and practical tools, like mindfulness and nervous system regulation, that can help us begin to heal, slow down, and actually experience life in the present.If you've ever felt exhausted, anxious, or wondered if there's a healthier way to move through the world, this episode will resonate with you. We're here to remind you that you're not alone—and there is hope and support on the horizon.Here are my 3 key takeaways:Trauma isn't just “in your head." It rewires your brain and narrows your ability to access critical thinking, often pushing you into fight, flight, or freeze mode. This can make daily life and decision-making feel overwhelming, especially in high-stress professions.Nervous system regulation and mindfulness are not just nice-to-haves; they're game changers for sustainable performance and wellbeing. Simply learning to check in with your body, take a deep breath, or slow down your internal pace cues your brain to exit survival mode.Organizations that acknowledge the impact of stress and create space for mindfulness see real benefits. Not just for their people, but for productivity as well. A reimagined “work-life balance” starts by recognizing that we're not machines, and our emotional well-being deserves real priority.Moments00:00 Understanding Trauma and Nervous System Regulation03:52 Trauma's Impact on Brain Function07:51 "Managing Calm in Recovery"10:08 "Building Positive Energy Awareness"16:12 Post-COVID Work-Life Balance Trends20:26 Nervous System Stress Impacts22:32 Prioritizing Emotional Well-Being Over Expectations26:37 Grounding Through Presence28:49 Finding Focus and Grounding31:23 Mental Health Resources & SupportSpirit of EQ We hope you enjoy the podcast.

What has Jesus to do with trauma? Many people who experience trauma find solidarity in Jesus' experiences. Some would even claim that Jesus is a trauma survivor himself. Others may find the horror of Jesus' crucifixion to be re-traumatising. What do these perspectives mean for how we think about and relate to Christ? Karen O'Donnell explores these questions to enrich our understanding of Christ and humanity. Dr Karen O'Donnell is Academic Dean and Lecturer in Liturgy and Theology at Westcott House, Cambridge, and an Associate Lecturer at Cambridge University. Her latest books include Survival: Radical Spiritual Practices for Trauma Survivors and Pregnancy and Birth: Critical Theological Conceptions (with Dr Claire Williams).

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)What does it really mean to be "trauma-informed" as a divorce coach? Beyond the buzzword, there's a profound responsibility to understand how trauma impacts our clients without overstepping our professional boundaries.Tracy and Debra dive deep into this increasingly popular term, clarifying that being trauma-informed isn't about taking one class or having experienced trauma yourself. Rather, it's developing a working knowledge of how trauma affects the brain, nervous system, and behavior—then intentionally creating safety in your coaching relationships.For divorce coaches, this understanding is crucial because divorce itself can be traumatizing. When clients apologize for crying, speak rapidly and scattered, or seem emotionally detached, these are often trauma responses. The magic happens not by diving into past wounds (that's therapy's domain), but by offering a different experience: one where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to access their own wisdom.The most powerful revelation? Properly trained divorce coaches are already practicing trauma-informed care through client autonomy, co-regulation, and appropriate boundaries. When a client has experienced controlling relationships, simply asking "What feels right for you?" helps rebuild agency. When someone is emotionally dysregulated, your calm presence can help settle their nervous system enough to think clearly.Ready to strengthen your trauma-informed approach? Focus on continued learning about neuroscience, develop self-awareness around your triggers, participate in regular supervision, and remember that your presence—grounded in curiosity and compassion—is your most powerful tool. You don't need to be a trauma expert to create safety; you just need to honor your client's humanity and pace.Curious how this applies to your coaching practice? Connect with us on social media or at divorcecoachesacademy.com. Want to deepen these skills? Join our affordable case consultation group that meets twice monthly.

89 - Discovering Purpose in Trauma - The Craig DeMartino Story   You won't believe this story: Craig DeMartino fell roughly 100 feet in the backcountry, suffered catastrophic injuries—and then amputated his own leg. Doctors didn't expect him to survive the night. Fast-forward 22 years, and Craig has not only climbed El Capitan five times, including as the first amputee to summit it in under 24 hours, but he also leads climbing expeditions that help veterans and people with disabilities reclaim their purpose and identity. Episode Highlights: Origins of the Accident Craig fell ~100 feet while top-roping in Rocky Mountain National Park (July 2002). Miscommunication with partner led to premature release and catastrophic injuries including compound fractures, spinal injury, broken ribs/neck, punctured lungs. He survived and underwent an extensive rescue via backcountry, litter, helicopter, and hospital care. The Road to Recovery Multiple surgeries, ICU, rehab, two months in assisted living. After 18 months, he chose to amputate a non-healing right leg to reduce pain and regain function. Mental Health Journey Craig and his wife Cindy sought couple and individual therapy for PTSD, identity loss, and adapting to physical changes. Therapeutic strategies: breaking goals into manageable “chunks”—a mindset he learned from climbing. Rebirth as an Adaptive Climber Craig returned to climbing, conquered El Capitan five times—including becoming the first amputee to climb it in under a day (14 hours)—and led an all-disability ascent documented in Gimp Monkeys. Giving Back Through Mentorship He now co-leads Adaptive Adventures, guiding veterans and others with disabilities into climbing as a tool for healing, identity rebuilding, and community. Daily Habits for Wellness Movement, pain management, and self-compassion (“rest days are okay”) are key to sustaining physical and mental health post-trauma. Facing Fear Craig still acknowledges fear but manages it by “living with it” rather than trying to erase it—focusing on logical risk management, small incremental progress, and emotional self-regulation. Finding Purpose Surviving the accident propelled Craig to ask, “Why did I live?” His mission became turning adversity into opportunity, inspiring and empowering others. What's Next? Upcoming adventure: rock climbing on Sardinia's coastal cliffs with Cindy.

Performative Expectations vs. Honoring Your Neurodivergent (AuDHD) Needs     In this conversation, Patricia discusses the challenges of navigating personal truths, autonomy, and performative expectations, particularly as an AuDHDer. Patricia reflects on her struggles with body image, the importance of self-trust, the need for autonomy (PDA), honoring her needs as a neurodivergent human, and prioritizing her comfort. She also addresses social anxiety, the joy of spontaneity, and the balance between assertiveness and sensitivity in relationships. Ultimately, Patricia emphasizes personal growth and the acceptance of one's unique identity through the planning and execution of her son's wedding.   HIGHLIGHTS   ·       Navigating personal truths is essential for autonomy, and working with PDA (pervasive or persistent drive for autonomy) ·       Performative expectations can override the needs of the human. ·       Body image issues are apt to come up when asked to wear clothes one doesn't normally wear. ·       Self-trust is crucial in making personal choices. ·       Finding comfort in clothing is important for self-regulation, and feeling authentic. ·       Fear of overwhelm and dysregulation can be mitigated with preparation. ·       Embracing spontaneity can enhance connections with others. ·       Assertiveness is necessary in family dynamics. ·       Personal growth often comes from challenging experiences. ·       Sensitivity is a strength, not a weakness.   SOUND BITES "This is not about getting married." "I felt so present." "I really wanted to honor the bride." "I was very disheartened." "I fell in love with it."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You have a right to trust that you are exactly where you need to be. There's not anything you need to do. Your value and worth does not come from being productive. You can be stimmy. You can be joyful. You can be quiet.   You can be assertive. You can be moving your body. You can be still. You can want to touch all of the dogs in the world, and all of the horses. You can want to be left alone. You can enjoy being with people not being with people. Every single part of you is okay exactly the way you are.   CHAPTERS   00:00 Navigating Personal Truths and Autonomy 03:01 The Impact of Performative Expectations 05:55 Body Image and Self-Trust 09:11 Finding Comfort in Personal Choices 12:11 Overcoming Social Anxiety and Overstimulation 14:52 Embracing Spontaneity and Connection 18:08 Balancing Assertiveness and Sensitivity 20:46 Reflections on Personal Growth and Relationships   PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching. She knows what it's like to feel like an outcast, misfit, and truthteller.  Learning about the trait of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), then learning she is AuDHD with a PDA profile, OCD and RSD, helped Patricia rewrite her history with a deeper understanding, appreciation, and a sense of self-compassion.  She created the podcast Unapologetically Sensitive to help other neurodivergent folks know that they aren't alone, and that having a brain that is wired differently comes with amazing gifts, and some challenges.  Patricia works online globally working individually with people, and she teaches Online Courses for neurodivergent folks that focus on understanding what it means to be a sensitive neurodivergent.

Many people get stuck on their healing journey. They feel lost and confused. They've spent years in therapy, tried meditation, read all the books but still feel like they're just surviving instead of truly living. This is way more common than we would like to believe, and quite discouraging for those dealing with stress, burnout, or old emotional wounds. Even when you know you're safe, your body might still feel like it's in danger.  That's because healing isn't just about mindset, it's about your nervous system. And most healing methods skip the steps your body actually needs to feel safe at the nervous system level. In this episode, Dr. Aimie explains why one often gets stuck and what the nervous system really needs to move from overwhelm and a functional freeze into calm aliveness. You'll learn how the body experiences a trauma, why it holds on even for years after, and the step-by-step roadmap to give it what it needs to engage its own healing mechanisms. You'll learn more on: [1:46] Why many people avoid connecting with their body and stay “in their head” [4:05] How to tell if you're disconnected from your body [5:48] What happens in your body during a trauma response (and how it can get stuck) [8:48] Why just telling yourself “you're safe” doesn't make your body believe it [12:49] The hidden equation your nervous system uses to decide if you're still in danger [15:49] The surprising trait that can block healing   [18:16] Common signs you're in shutdown mode [21:51] The 3 major roadblocks that can slow down healing [22:52] Why you need cycles of stress and rest to heal [27:36] The 3-phase healing roadmap [29:32] How emotional healing works just like physical healing—and why skipping steps keeps you stuck Whether you're working on your own healing or helping others, this episode gives you the missing piece to understand what's really going on in the body and how to finally move forward.   Helpful Links Related To This Episode: Steps to Identify and Heal Trauma - A Roadmap for Healing - Find out what trauma is, how to recognize it, and get simple steps to help you heal in this 23-page guide.

Have you ever caught yourself thinking, “If they would just change, I could finally feel peace”? I've been there—and I know how exhausting that cycle can be. For years, I thought if my partner showed up differently, everything would get better. But what I've learned, both in my own life and in the lives of the women I work with, is this: peace doesn't come from fixing someone else. It comes from healing what's being stirred within you.In this episode, I'm walking you through three powerful shifts that helped me break free from that pattern—and that I believe can shift everything for you too. These are the exact mindset and energy shifts that lead to more peace, more clarity, and more personal freedom, regardless of whether or not anyone else changes.I'll share how your triggers are actually sacred invitations, why trying to control others is a form of avoidance (not awakening), and how to start leading with your energy instead of your agenda.If you're ready to stop spiraling in frustration and start feeling grounded and powerful again, this conversation is for you.–Connect with Deanna:Instagram: @deannaherrinLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanna-herrin/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thedeannaherrinWebsite: http://www.deannaherrin.net–

In this episode of The Birth Trauma Mama Podcast, I'm reflecting on six years since the day my life and my son Callahan's changed forever. Six years since I experienced an amniotic fluid embolism that nearly took both of our lives. Six years into a healing journey that has been anything but linear.This solo episode is my most honest update yet. I talk about what recovery looks like this far out from the trauma: what's changed, what hasn't, the unexpected gifts, and the grief that still lingers. I share how I've learned to move with my story instead of trying to move past it, and what I wish someone had told me in those earliest, darkest days postpartum.Whether you're six days, six months, or six years into your own healing, I hope this episode meets you right where you are and reminds you that you are never alone in this.What You'll Hear in This Episode:

Anxiety doesn't always scream—it simmers. It steals focus, hijacks your body, and leaves you wired and worn out. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano sits down with Jeff Patterson to talk about what it means to actually live with stress—and how you can meet it differently, without burning out.Jeff shares his own path into meditation and Tai Chi, a journey that led him to create the Yielding Method: a practice that invites you to stop bracing and start softening—physically, mentally, emotionally. This isn't about retreating from life; it's about learning how to face it without clenching every muscle and thought along the way.They talk about how anxiety and chronic pain feed off each other, how stillness isn't laziness, and why meditation doesn't need to be perfect—it just needs to be practiced. From tiny daily rituals to full-body awareness, Jeff and Lyndsay break down the real-life tools that help people stop resisting what is and start creating space for what could be.Tune in if your nervous system feels like it's on overdrive and you're ready to breathe again—on purpose.Find Jeff Patterson Online Here:Website: theyieldingwarrior.comInstagram: @theyieldingwarriorFacebook: TaiChi YieldingLinkedIn: Jeff PattersonTikTok: @theyieldingwarriorBook: The Yielding WarriorFind The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(01:47) The Journey into Meditation(09:29) Understanding the Yielding Warrior Method(16:27) The Power of Consistency in Practice(21:29) Overcoming Barriers to Meditation
