Angela Lerro's journey from near-death at 89 pounds to vibrant health challenges everything the spiritual community believes about diet. After breast cancer at 28, mysterious autoimmune conditions, and years of declining health on a plant-based diet, this energy worker made a radical decision that saved her life: eating only meat.In this raw conversation, Angela shares how undiagnosed Lyme disease nearly killed her, why her intuitive gifts were making her sick, and how she combined carnivore nutrition with energy healing to create what she calls "miracles" in her practice. Her story exposes the dangerous disconnect between spiritual wellness culture and human biology.From fainting 15 times daily to training her German Shepherd as a service dog, Angela's medical odyssey reveals how emotional trauma stores in the body and why proper nutrition is essential for spiritual work. She explains her unique approach to energy healing that works with clients worldwide, how meat consumption improved her psychic abilities, and why she believes the spiritual community's obsession with veganism is harming practitioners.This isn't your typical wellness story. It's a compelling case for why healing requires addressing mind, body, and spirit simultaneously - and why that might mean eating in ways that contradict popular spiritual teachings.BIG IDEAWhen the student's ready, the teacher appears - and sometimes that teacher is your own body demanding you question everything you've been taught about healing.Angela Lerro Contact InfoWebsite: https://meatbasedmedium.com/Instagram: MeatBasedMediumTikTok: MeatBasedMediumFacebook: AngelaChristineemail: meatbasedmedium@gmail.comBook References for the Skeptics: “The Holographic Universe” by Michael Talbot“You Can Heal Your Life” by Louise HaySend Dr. Ovadia a Text Message.

“I realized my family's secrets had written my biography—and my biology. I wanted to take back the pen.” — Wendy Correa In this deeply moving episode of Uncorking a Story, host Mike Carlon sits down with author, yogi, and former music industry insider Wendy Correa to discuss her debut memoir, My Pretty Baby. Wendy shares her journey through intergenerational trauma, addiction, and healing—offering listeners a raw and inspiring look at how writing, spirituality, and resilience helped her reclaim her story. From singing on the Rose Bowl stage to encounters with icons like Ringo Starr and Hunter S. Thompson, Wendy's life is a testament to transformation and the power of voice. Key Takeaways: Wendy's memoir began as a personal healing journey and evolved into a guidebook for others facing family dysfunction. Her background spans massage therapy, DJing, and working with major record labels like Geffen and A&M Records. A pivotal moment in her sobriety came when she met Ringo Starr at her first AA meeting.  Wendy used acting techniques and EMDR therapy to access and process repressed childhood trauma. My Pretty Baby explores the impact of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and advocates for trauma-informed healing. The memoir also includes joyful and serendipitous moments, like meeting her husband through a song request and working with Hunter S. Thompson. Wendy challenges toxic positivity and emphasizes the importance of facing pain to truly heal.

"Trauma can be a gateway for transformation, and it's one of the things that I am passionate about." – Abi Blakeslee On this episode of Transforming Trauma, host Emily Ruth sits down with Dr. Abi Blakeslee, a leader in the field of trauma recovery and somatic psychology recognized for her clinical research and teaching. Dr. Blakeslee shares her deep exploration of implicit memory—the non-conscious processes shaping movement, emotion, and survival patterns—and explains how harnessing implicit memory offers new and practical pathways to healing trauma. Drawing from Somatic Experiencing, neuroscience, and her own research, Dr. Blakeslee breaks down the branches of implicit memory—procedural, priming, associative, and more—and clarifies their relevance in trauma and recovery. The conversation explores how clinicians can support present-moment, embodied "new learning" that rewires automatic responses and fosters positive transformation. Listeners will hear practical strategies to increase clients' interoceptive awareness, cultivate self-compassion, and repair ruptures through embodied, relational experiences. Dr. Blakeslee emphasizes the importance of helping clients reconnect with their essential self, shifting the focus from merely resolving the past to building new implicit memories of agency, connection, and vitality. Together they discuss the flexibility of integrating these neurobiological insights into diverse modalities—including Somatic Experiencing, Attachment Theory, Psychodynamic Therapy, and beyond—to deepen agency and nurture post-traumatic growth, especially in cases of developmental and complex trauma. Throughout, Dr. Blakeslee underscores the healing power of gentle attention, relational attunement, and compassion—offering a hopeful framework for practitioners and clients alike.

Ever find yourself thinking: “I should be further along by now”? Our society is so OBSESSED with finishing things… what if strength lives in what's still taking shape?I've been taking an adult learning programme on resilience at my old university, University College Cork,  and spending more time in my friend Juli's clay studio. There, I noticed: the clay pieces I tried to make perfect felt lifeless. The ones with flaws felt alive. This naturally led me back into the world of Wabi‑sabi — the Japanese aesthetic of imperfection, impermanence, and incompleteness — and how it mirrors resilience. In this episode, I walk you through:The cultural myth of “completion” and why we still chase itHow wabi-sabi challenges that mythWhat resilience really is — and how it shows up in softness not hardnessA short practice you can use this week to lean into being unfinishedIf you felt even a flicker of recognition in this episode, share it with someone who might need a reminder that perfection isn't the point — being alive is.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.In the past few days Andrew Huberman has been front and center in the neuroscience and wellness spheres with both academic rigor and broad public reach. The most notable headline is the November 6 release of his Huberman Lab Essentials episode called “Erasing Fears and Traumas Using Modern Neuroscience,” where Huberman dives into how deliberate daily practices—like five minutes of cyclic hyperventilation—can rewire the brain's fear responses. He breaks down the neural circuits involved, citing the amygdala and dopamine systems, and offers evidence-based strategies such as prolonged exposure therapy, cognitive behavioral approaches, and even discusses the cutting edge use of ketamine and MDMA for PTSD. The episode quickly climbed the podcast and YouTube ranks, reflecting significant engagement and concrete potential for impact in clinical and lifestyle settings.On the business front, Huberman continues to steer his expanding empire across media, science, and health optimization. His podcast remains the number one health and fitness show on Apple and Spotify, frequently featured in best-of charts. Recent social media posts on Instagram and X highlight his protocols for sleep, stress management, and metabolic health, drawing thousands of likes and repeated enthusiastic comments lauding his ability to make science accessible and actionable. Subscribers to his newsletter, now nearing one million, received exclusive insights this week including what's dubbed the “Daily Blueprint”—detailing Huberman's own routine with practical steps for productivity and wellbeing.Meanwhile, his new book “Protocols” remains highly anticipated in pre-order status, billed as a definitive guide for improving brain function and overall health through habits and biochemical interventions. In industry news, ABC World News Tonight covered Huberman's appearance to discuss “10 Habits You Must Improve Every Day to Rewire Your Brain,” bringing his science-backed advice to a mainstream television audience. This appearance has further elevated his pop culture status as a go-to authority on optimizing mental performance and resilience.Within academic circles, Huberman is referenced in discussions alongside Dr. David Sinclair on the topic of slowing aging, with his perspectives on neural plasticity and longevity gaining ground in medical and scientific media outlets. While his recent stance on drug repurposing for neurological and immune conditions was spotlighted via collaboration with Dr. David Fajgenbaum, this continues a trend of merging clinical discovery with public education and advocacy.Rumors have circulated about upcoming public appearances, potentially including a keynote at a major veterans' mental health gala next week, though this is not yet confirmed and should be treated as speculation. There has been no verified controversy or negative press in the last few days, and feedback remains overwhelmingly positive. In short, the biographical stakes for Huberman have only grown—his accessibility, practical expertise, and ever-expanding audience reinforce his status as a primary architect at the intersection of neuroscience and everyday life.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Norm Wielsch was a law enforcement officer for over 25 years — 16 of those as an undercover narcotic agent. In 1998, he was diagnosed with an incurable neuro-muscular disease, and after more than 30 surgeries, he became addicted to opioids. Wielsch was diagnosed with PTSD, and then his daughter was diagnosed with a serious illness and given a poor prognosis. In a downward spiral, Wielsch made a series of bad decisions that landed him in federal prison. While incarcerated, he obtained a master's degree in Theology and Counseling, a Doctorate in Christian Counseling, and a Drug and Alcohol Counseling Degree. He currently works at a men's residential treatment facility as a registered alcohol and drug counselor and pastoral care provider. He is a working credentialed chaplain who hopes to one day launch a first responder ministry. Wielsch also has a master's degree in Law Enforcement Management and is an expert in law enforcement tactics, criminal investigations, pursuit driving, high risk search warrant service, PTSD and the police culture.

Licensed clinical professional counselor and board-certified dance/movement therapist Erica Hornthal (“The Therapist Who Moves You”) joins Aaron to explain how changing the way we move changes the way we feel. Recorded on November 3, 2025, the conversation grounds movement therapy in the realities of Chicagoland life: financial pressure, screen-driven immobility, community trauma in Highland Park, and heightened anxiety around recent ICE activity across the North Shore. Erica shares practical, accessible ways to regulate the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and communicate nonverbally when words are not enough.Key TakeawaysMovement is already part of therapy: posture shifts, breathing, pacing, and small gestures can be therapeutic starting points.We have “out-evolved” our natural instinct to move; immobility amplifies anxiety.Stressors show up differently across communities. Whether it is public-safety trauma or fear tied to immigration enforcement, the body stores that stress.You can change your state by changing your movement, even with simple, seated interventions.Nonverbal work helps couples and families de-escalate conflict and build empathy.Parents can meet kids' energy with movement rather than suppression, then teach time-and-place skills.Research supports dance and movement as effective for anxiety and depression; therapy fit and relationship still matter most.Practical access: look for “somatic,” “body-oriented,” or “creative arts therapy” in your area; insurance coverage depends on the clinician's license.Timestamps00:00 Intro to Erica and dance/movement therapy02:00 What movement therapy looks like in practice04:50 Why Erica wrote “BodyTalk” and how readers use it08:15 Why we feel so stressed today, and how immobility feeds anxiety10:45 Local context: Highland Park trauma and recent ICE activity on the North Shore12:30 Changing movement to change mood and cognition15:15 Treating the “snake bite” before debating the “why”16:00 Individual vs group work, and what movement builds between people17:35 Getting over discomfort and starting small20:40 A simple intervention: washing hands slowly to interrupt anxiety22:20 Working across ages: from 3 to 10726:15 Coaching kids and meeting their movement needs31:30 Nonverbal communication in relationships and negotiations35:00 “Embodied listening” and the limits of AI for mental health39:30 Walks, showers, and why ideas arrive during movement42:00 Using your body as a free mental health resource43:00 Finding somatic or creative arts therapists and dealing with insurance46:45 What the research says about dance, anxiety, and depression49:00 Where to find Erica and her books50:00 ClosingPractical Exercises MentionedSeated reset: notice shoulders, jaw, feet; slow your breath and lengthen exhale.Pattern interrupt: pick one daily action and do it slowly for 20 seconds (example: handwashing) to downshift intensity.Conflict pause: step outside or to separate corners, walk, then reconvene.With kids: “shake out the wiggles,” go outside for 60 seconds, then return.GuestErica Hornthal, LCPC, BC-DMTFounder and CEO, Chicago Dance TherapyAuthor of BodyTalk, Body Aware, and The Movement Therapy DeckWebsite: https://www.ericahornthal.comPractice: https://www.chicagodancetherapy.comInstagram: @thetherapistwhomovesyouEmail: erica@hornthal.comResources MentionedBodyTalk: 365 Gentle Practices to Get Out of Your Head and Into Your BodyBody AwareThe Movement Therapy DeckSearch terms for local care: “somatic therapy,” “body-oriented therapy,” “creative arts therapy,” “dance movement therapy,” plus your city.For Listeners in ChicagolandIf anxiety has spiked for you or your family due to recent events in the region, consider brief, daily movement check-ins.

Joining me this week is Jessica Baum, licensed mental health counselor, relationship expert, and author of the new book SAFE: Coming Home to Yourself and Others. Together we explore: - How insecure attachment patterns form in childhood and continue to shape how we show up as adults and parents. - Why parents with a history of insecure attachment may find themselves more easily triggered by their children. - The difference between awareness and healing, and why insight alone isn't enough to create real change. - How to repair attachment wounds by learning to regulate your own nervous system. - What the "Wheel of Attachment" reveals about the fluid, nuanced nature of our attachment patterns. - How doing your own inner work can transform not just your relationships, but the emotional security you pass down to your kids. If you've ever wondered why you react the way you do or how to stop repeating painful relational cycles, this conversation will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface and give you hope that true, lasting healing is possible.

I invited my friend Sigourney Belle to explore the real transformation that happens when we move from maiden to mother—and why it's a physiological, neurological, and spiritual awakening. Together we name the power of matrescence, the rise of heightened instinct, and the shadow of fear that can surface in pregnancy. Sigourney shares how unexpected challenges late in her pregnancy dismantled old structures, and how she rebuilt her life with deeper trust in her body's wisdom—ultimately birthing Soma Mystica as a bridge between modern medicine and mystical insight.We go deep into somatic healing: what field intelligence feels like in real time, why co-regulation and therapeutic touch matter, and how practitioners must master state entrainment so their nervous systems become safe, attuned instruments. I share the practices I lean on to anchor presence, while Sigourney offers trauma-informed perspectives that make intuition practical—so we can listen to the body's signals without getting swept by them.From parenting to education, we explore cultivating a child's unique genius, unshaming early body education, and making aligned schooling choices—from Steiner to Green School Bali. We talk about raising embodied, sovereign kids who can sense their own boundaries and creativity, and how intuitive leadership at home starts with our capacity to feel, name, and navigate our inner states.Sigourney also opens up about co-parenting, dating after birth, and building a slower, more strategic business that supports motherhood and creativity. This conversation is an invitation to widen what we believe is possible—inside our bodies, our relationships, and the ecosystems we steward—so that healing becomes not just personal, but profoundly relational and generational.

We sit down with Rocío Aquino & Ángel Orengo to trace a path from chaos to center, through failure, forgiveness, and the everyday practices that make self-love practical. Their novel, The Orchid: The Secret Code of Modern Goddesses, isn't just a beautiful narrative; it's a field guide woven into story, where five women mirror our realities survival, perfectionism, hidden truth, anger, and longing and offer tools to move from pain to possibility.We unpack why Orchid became their symbol: resilient, diverse, unmistakably feminine yet rooted in a surprising masculine etymology, embodying the balance our culture craves. Rocío speaks to trauma, nervous system safety, and the long road from external approval to inner harmony. Angel shares the ego's impulse to interrupt, the discipline of awareness, and the power of choosing where attention goes in a noisy world. Together they model respectful communication, mindful pauses, and a love that holds space for growth without codependency.Expect practical takeaways: an accessible forgiveness framework, a two-minute mindful reset that actually works, mirror work to rebuild worth, and gratitude practices that shift focus from lack to sufficiency. We also explore how to navigate hard headlines without bypassing pain redirecting energy toward peace and intention while honoring reality.The heartbeat is simple and brave: when you love yourself deeply and completely, you stop living at the mercy of externals and become the force in your own life.

EPISODE SYNOPSIS:This episode of The Brilliant Body Podcast features host Ali in an in-depth, compassionate conversation with Darshana Avila, a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner, and sexological bodyworker known for her appearance on Sex, Love & Goop. Together, they explore the intersections of sexuality, embodiment, grief, and healing, discussing how slowing down, attuning to one's body, and embracing vulnerability can lead to deeper connection and erotic wholeness. Darshana explains her integrative approach to sexological bodywork—helping clients safely explore pleasure, boundaries, and self-awareness—as well as the broader cultural conditioning that fuels shame, inhibition, and disconnection. Touching on topics from trauma and consent to the cultural devaluation of grief and sensuality, the conversation becomes a profound reflection on how reclaiming our embodied erotic selves is both personal healing and social activism, ultimately a journey toward fuller, freer, and more loving humanityFOR MORE ALI MEZEY:ALI - WebsiteALI - LinkTreeFOR MORE DARSHANA AVILA:BIO:Darshana Avila is a trauma-informed somatic educator, practitioner and international speaker who helps people reconnect with the most essential aspects of themselves — their truth, their desires, and their capacity for authentic connection. Known for her grounded, candid, and relational approach, she bridges the worlds of embodiment, emotional intelligence, and personal agency with depth and accessibility.Darshana's work has been featured on Netflix's Sex, Love & goop, The Guardian, The New Yorker, and numerous leading podcasts including the most downloaded episode of Shameless Sex Podcast in 2024, the goop Podcast and the Sexology Podcast. PROMO LINKdarshanaavila.com (depending on the release date, we might ask that you feature her upcoming retreat darshanaavila.com/radical-rejuvenation)SOCIAL HANDLESinstagram.com/darshana_avilayoutube.com/@darshana-avilalinkedin.com/in/darshana-avilaskool.com/galgasmOTHER RESOURCES, LINKS AND INSPIRATIONS:Betty Martin's The Brilliant Body Podcast episode: The Receiving and Giving Body with Dr Betty Martin, Creator of The Wheel of ConsentLike A Pro: Training for touch professionalsTHE WHEEL OF CONSENT explainedGwyneth Paltrow's SEX, LOVE and GOOPSexological BodyworkCis-women definition: a woman whose gender identity aligns with the sex she was assigned at birth, which was female.

The fear of Chronos' time is a metaphor for being enslaved by deadlines and schedules, while Kairos is the critical moment for decisive action or significant change. It represents a fleeting window of opportunity for decisive action, a "light bulb moment" where conditions are perfect for a crucial act, such as an archer taking a perfect shot or a weaver working through a narrow gap in their loom. The concept is used in various fields to describe the importance of timeliness and seizing the right moment, such as in rhetoric, advertising, journalism, and religious contexts. Vaginismis: Involuntary spasms of the vaginal muscles that make penetration difficult or impossible.[From time to time, a word or phrase goes wonky.

Send us a textWhat if the plan that looks perfect on paper leaves you empty when the noise dies down? We sit with Giovanna Silvestre—creator of Confused Girl and author of Confused Girl: Find Your Peace in the Chaos—to explore how chasing boxes, status, or a picture-perfect family can't touch the deeper ache for self-worth. Giovanna walks us through leaving Hollywood, almost taking over her family's restaurant, and choosing uncertainty over a life that didn't fit. That choice cracked open depression, then clarity, and eventually the practices that helped her build a bottom to her cup so joy could finally stick.You'll hear practical tools you can use today: short daily solitude, self-talk that heals instead of harms, and simple rituals to release shame and guilt. Not a visualizer? Try embodied grounding—yoga, swimming, dance, or even structured “rage” release—to remind your nervous system you are worthy of joy. We unpack the comparison trap amplified by social media, and Giovanna offers two powerful reframes: bless what you desire when you see it, and turn envy into curiosity by asking mentors how they did it. These shifts move you from lack and timeline panic to alignment and forward motion.We also dig into why women carry inherited shame around bodies, sex, and aging, and how naming it breaks its spell. Giovanna shares the long road to publishing her book—years of writing, rejection, and then a breakthrough right before her father passed—underscoring a bigger theme: trust the timing of your life. If you've felt confused, behind, or secretly hollow while “doing everything right,” this conversation will help you choose from your true nature, not from fear.

Please share it with at least ONE friend who you think needs to hear it!Actor, filmmaker and psychotherapist David Sutcliffe explores Hollywood's dark side, trauma healing, men's work and the power of core energetics therapy on episode 221 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.After two decades in television and film (Gilmore Girls, Private Practice, Cracked), Sutcliffe hit pause on Hollywood to figure out what was really running the show — inside himself. What started as a search for truth turned into a deep dive into core energetics therapy, a practice that uses the body to unlock buried emotion. Today he's helping men and women do the same: break old patterns, feel everything they've been avoiding, and live from a place that's actually real. His viral sit-down with Andrew Tate sparked conversations around masculinity, vulnerability and what it means to be authentic in a world built on performance.In this raw and revealing exchange, Faust and David crack open the illusion of control — from the psychology of fame to the programming woven into our culture. They get into how trauma shapes creativity, why emotional release is the real superpower, and what happens when you finally stop performing. From generational healing to spiritual surrender, this episode goes straight to the heart of what it means to feel human again.In this episode:

In the journey toward healing, survivors often find that intentional practices like sober sex foster a deeper emotional and physical intimacy, essential for their trauma recovery. This emphasis on connection stands in stark contrast to much mainstream sexual messaging, which frequently excludes the necessary emotional components for true sexual well-being. Development of safe relationships is threatened when media and politics overstep their bounds, making autonomous sexual expression and recovery a constant social and personal endeavor.*This episode explores human sexuality and is intended for mature listeners.. To lay the foundation for how intimacy is the cornerstone of sexual wellbeing, Harvesting Happiness Podcast Host Lisa Cypers Kamen speaks with two authors and experts in trauma and sexuality, Dr. Stephanie Covington and Dr. Vanessa Carlisle. Discussing their co-authored book, Awaken Your Sexuality: A Guide to Connection and Intimacy after Addiction and Trauma, Dr. Covington and Dr. Carlisle explore its core principles from various viewpoints. In the book, they examine the diverse facets of human sexuality, including the issues of entitlement and control that frequently surround it.

Trauma isn't just an event—it's a complex, living pattern woven through our bodies, minds, and relationships. What if the path to healing isn't about breaking down defenses or pushing past resistance, but about honoring those very protections as parts of our whole self?   Shai Lavie's journey illuminates this radical shift. As a Hakomi and Somatic Experiencing therapist, Shai learned that trauma work flourishes when we stop battling our clients' “barriers” and instead bring curiosity and compassion to every part of their experience—even the parts that resist change. Imagine your nervous system not as a malfunctioning engine to be fixed, but as a profound intelligence signaling what it needs to survive and adapt.   In practice, this means holding space for a client's “resistance”, listening deeply to these “barriers” with genuine inquiry: “What wisdom might be present here? What story is this body telling me?” Such an approach transforms therapy from a power struggle into a collaborative voyage, where client and therapist become co-captains rowing in harmony, not opposition.   This relational, respectful method aligns beautifully with the NeuroAffective Relational Model® (NARM®) principles—where healing happens in connection, at the client's pace, and through mindful presence. It invites us all, as therapists and healers, to recalibrate our role: to cultivate safety not by conquering defenses, but by embracing them, fostering agency within the authentic self.   If you're a mental health professional eager to deepen your understanding of complex trauma and transform your therapeutic practice, we invite you to explore the upcoming NARM Therapist Trainings at the Complex Trauma Training Center. Join a community committed to growing both professionally and personally—where we learn that healing is not about fighting against our adaptive Self, but reconnecting with the resilient, compassionate, authentic Self.  

When it comes to trauma healing, we often search for special techniques or magic solutions, but we overlook one of the most fundamental and powerful healing experiences available: the simple act of having an fruitful, loving and effective conversation. In this episode, I dive into why “talking it out” is so essential for mental, emotional, […]

What if your greatest health challenge could become your most powerful teacher? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Cindy Wageman, speaker, coach, and bestselling author of Completely Healed: How Understanding the Link Between Trauma, Stress, and Autoimmune Disease Helped Me Get My Life Back. Cindy opens up about her journey of healing from multiple sclerosis, sharing how faith, mindset, and self-discovery transformed her life. She reveals how years of people-pleasing and unprocessed trauma affected her health, and how learning to listen to her intuition, and to God, became the key to true healing. Together, she and Gerald explore the science of epigenetics, explaining how our thoughts, relationships, and environment can literally switch our genes on or off. One of Cindy's most powerful insights came when she realized the importance of being honest with her family about her struggles, a revelation that later inspired her work as a life and relationship coach. This heartfelt episode reminds us that real productivity starts from within, when we nurture our bodies, renew our minds, and live with purpose and balance. Let's dive in!

Many of us can talk logically about our feelings and for years replay the same stories in an effort to make sense of the pain, yet never truly finding healing. But what if the secret to repair has been hiding in our bodies all along? In this episode, Justin and Abi get personal about their journeys with somatic counseling and what it looked like to reconnect with their bodies after years of dissociation, trauma, and anxiety. They share how completing “unfinished” instinctual responses, learning to say no without guilt, and noticing small physical cues transformed the way they handle conflict, boundaries, and experience healing. If you've ever felt stuck in your head, struggled to overcome pain, or been blindsided by triggers, this conversation is just what you're looking for.
