In this deeply harmonizing episode, Emily is joined by Sigmar Berg, an artist, designer, and the visionary founder of Lovetuner. Joining the podcast from his remote canyon home in Malibu, California, the Sagittarius founder shares the profound history and modern science behind the Lovetuner: a revolutionary single-tone mindfulness tool that aligns your energy field with the 528 Hz frequency, universally recognized as the vibration of love, transformation, and cellular repair. Sigmar journeys through his transition from a fast-paced European design career to anchoring down a global peace mission. This conversation strips away the guesswork of breathwork to provide an immediate, audible pathway out of the head and directly into the intelligence of the heart field. In This Episode, We Cover: The Anatomy of the Lovetuner: How this wearable single-tone flute acts as an energetic tuning fork for the human instrument, expanding lung volume and resetting the nervous system. The 528 Hz Conspiracy: Sigmar exposes the historical alteration of standard musical scales detailing how the universal "C" note was systematically suppressed when the Rockefeller Foundation and historical forces shifted standard tuning from A=444 Hz down to A=440 Hz. The Sound Matrix of Nature: The mathematical perfection of 528 Hz, from the literal vibration of green chlorophyll on the light spectrum to the natural hum of honeybees. Binaural Beats vs. Single Tones: Sigmar shares a personal story of utilizing 528 Hz overlaid with a 2 Hz delta wave to miraculously heal a severed ulnar nerve in his arm in under six months. The Devastating Impact of Modern Noise: Why mindless exposure to standard pop radio and EMF radiation acts as an intentional tool for cognitive dissonance, and how to intentionally curate your daily "sound carpet." Eliminating Bullying in Classrooms: The early, non-commercial years of the Lovetuner Foundation, where integrating a 5-minute morning tuning circle completely eradicated bullying and skyrocketed focus in elementary schools. Overcoming Grief and Trauma: How the 528 Hz tone is being utilized as a profound, interdimensional bridge for veterans overcoming PTSD and families navigating severe grief. The Lovetuner Instructions The Practice: The Perfect Six-Cycle Tune. Inhale deeply through your nose, then exhale steadily through your Lovetuner for 15 to 30 seconds, maintaining a coherent, unwavering tone. Complete at least six cycles. Crucial: Once the physical tuning is complete, sit in absolute, uninterrupted silence for 30 seconds. This stillness is exactly where the healing integration occurs.

✨ "What is HeartMath doing? They're measuring your care." – Kansas CarradineDescription Kansas Carradine is a HeartMath-certified trainer, acrobatic stunt rider, and equine guided educator based in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. She spent years performing with the international touring show Cavalia — working alongside 70+ head of horses, many of them stallions — before dedicating her work to heart-based horsemanship and emotional regulation.What makes Kansas's approach distinctive is the bridge she builds between rigorous science and lived horsemanship. HeartMath is not just a breathing technique; it is a research-backed body of work measuring the electromagnetic output of the heart, heart rate variability coherence, and the demonstrable effect of human emotional states on the beings — horse and human alike — around us. For equine-assisted practitioners, that has profound implications.In this conversation, Rupert and Kansas explore how heart coherence can be layered into any equine-assisted modality, why horses are uniquely able to detect incoherent emotional fields, the science behind the toric field and biophoton emission, and how Kansas's own path — from a difficult childhood at a California trick-riding ranch, through Cavalia's global stages, to HeartMath certification — shaped her understanding of regulation, resilience, and the horse as healer. She and Rupert also announce a planned 2027 collaboration.

What happens when one of the biggest voices in sports radio loses everything?In this powerful episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with legendary broadcaster Craig Carton for one of the most honest and personal conversations of his career. From dominating New York sports radio on WFAN to serving time in federal prison, Craig opens up about the rise, the collapse, the addiction that nearly destroyed him, and the long road back toward healing, accountability, and purpose.This isn't a surface-level interview about headlines or tabloid moments. This is a raw conversation about ego, trauma, gambling addiction, fatherhood, fame, and what happens when your entire identity gets ripped away from you. Craig speaks openly about the unresolved childhood trauma he carried for decades, how gambling became both an escape and an obsession, and why getting caught may have ultimately saved his life.Luis guides the conversation in a way that lets listeners hear the human being behind the radio persona. You'll hear Craig discuss the pressure of becoming famous, chasing bigger opportunities, and feeding an ego that was spiraling out of control while publicly appearing successful. He also reflects on the darkest moments of his life, including the morning FBI agents arrested him and the emotional reality of entering federal prison for the first time.One of the strongest themes throughout this episode is redemption. Craig doesn't dodge responsibility or try to rewrite history. He owns every mistake while also sharing how recovery, therapy, family, and spirituality helped him reconnect with the person he believes he always was before addiction took over. His honesty about compulsive gambling and self-destruction makes this one of the most vulnerable episodes the podcast has featured to date.The conversation also dives into Craig's time in prison and how it completely changed the way he judges people. Some of the men he met behind bars became people he deeply respected, forcing him to rethink the labels society puts on individuals based only on their worst decisions. There's also humor mixed throughout the episode, from stories about gambling on ridiculous overseas events to prison food lines and Craig's hilarious “no waiting in line for food” rule after incarceration.Listeners will also hear Craig talk about:His battle with gambling addiction and compulsive behaviorWhy fame became another addictionThe emotional impact prison had on his familyMissing important milestones in his children's livesRecovery, accountability, and rebuilding trustHis return to sports radio and life after prisonLessons learned from therapy and unresolved traumaHow friendship and support helped save his lifeWhy second chances matterThe chemistry between Luis and Craig gives this episode a natural flow that feels more like two people having a real conversation than a traditional interview. There are moments that are emotional, moments that are reflective, and moments that are genuinely funny. That balance makes the episode relatable whether you're a sports fan, entrepreneur, creative, recovering addict, or someone simply trying to figure life out after making mistakes.For fans of long-form podcast conversations, sports media, mental health discussions, addiction recovery stories, and personal growth interviews, this episode delivers a rare level of honesty that's hard to fake. Craig Carton shows listeners that redemption is not about pretending the past never happened. It's about learning from it, owning it, and finding a way to move forward without hiding from the truth.If this episode connected with you, make sure to subscribe to I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube for more conversations with entrepreneurs, artists, athletes, creators, and personalities who share the real stories behind their success, failures, and life experiences.

What happens when you ignore your intuition for too long… and then one day, it refuses to be silenced?In this powerful episode of Authentic Talks 2.0, host Shanta sits down with Ranae Van Roekel —founder of Connecting to Cope, speaker, and trauma recovery advocate—for a raw and deeply honest conversation about trauma, accountability, and the life-changing moment when your inner voice demands to be heard.Renae shares her journey of surviving childhood sexual abuse, staying silent for over 30 years, and how unresolved trauma shaped her into a people-pleaser—ultimately leading her down a path that resulted in a federal prison sentence. But this isn't just a story about the past… it's about the turning point. The moment when Renae knew—deep in her gut—that what she was participating in was wrong… and made the courageous decision to stop, take responsibility, and face the consequences.From prison to purpose, Renae opens up about the healing work she began behind bars, the therapist who helped change her life, and how she now dedicates her mission to helping others process trauma, develop healthy coping skills, and reclaim their power.

Harris, a youth speaker who is on a mission to help young people believe in themselves, think differently about their future, and start making better decisions today.Lawrence's story is real.

What makes Lawrence different is his honesty. He doesn't sugarcoat things.

What happens when recovery advice sounds beautiful… but doesn't actually work for your body?In this episode of Fly To Freedom, I'm joined by Rachael Stern — a clinician with both professional expertise and lived experience of an eating disorder — to explore something that so many people quietly struggle with:Recovery is not the same for every body.Sometimes the body doesn't feel neutral.Sometimes there is chronic pain, diabetes, food intolerances, gut issues, hormonal shifts, migraines, or autoimmune conditions.And when that's the case, phrases like “just trust your body” or “let go of control” can feel confusing… and even unsafe.Together, we talk about what eating disorder recovery really looks like when your body has genuine physical needs — and how to navigate recovery in a way that is compassionate, realistic, and deeply personal.This is a conversation for anyone who has ever felt like they are failing recovery because their body doesn't fit the expected model.Why “just trust your body” can feel unsafe in eating disorder recoveryThe overlap between eating disorders, chronic illness, neurodivergence, and traumaHow food intolerances, autoimmune conditions, and medical needs can shape recoveryThe difference between self-care and eating disorder behaviours when food choices are limitedWhy intuitive eating doesn't work for everyone — and what recovery can look like insteadThe grief involved when your body has limitationsWhy eating disorders can feel like they “work” — and how to move beyond thatHow to approach recovery when you don't fully want it yetWhat it means to build trust with your body, even when it feels unpredictableYour body having real needs does not mean you are doing recovery wrong.Recovery is not a single path.It is not a checklist.And it does not need to look like anyone else's.You are allowed to find a way of recovering that works for your body.Rachael Stern is a clinician in private practice with both lived and professional experience of eating disorders.Her work focuses on the intersection of eating disorder recovery with chronic illness, chronic pain, neurodivergence, and medical complexity. She brings a deeply compassionate and realistic perspective to recovery — one that honours the grey areas, the nuance, and the individuality of each person's experience.

What happens when everything you thought defined you… is taken in a single moment?For Daniel Carlton, that moment came in 2012 while serving as a U.S. Army Special Forces Green Beret, when he stepped on an IED—losing one leg and nearly losing the other. It was a near-death experience that would have ended most people's story.It didn't end his.In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we go far beyond injury and recovery. This is a conversation about identity, resilience, purpose, and what it really takes to rebuild a life after everything changes.Daniel didn't just survive—he chose to push the limits of what's possible. From endurance rucks and extreme physical challenges to beekeeping, and leading others through suffering with purpose… he's redefining what strength actually looks like.This is not motivation.This is perspective.In this episode, we explore:The moment everything changed—and the decision that followedWhat the darkest days actually looked like after limb loss and traumaHow to rebuild identity when your body and life are no longer the sameWhy people who suffer often choose harder paths—not easier onesWhat endurance rucks reveal about pain, trauma, and human connectionThe mindset that allows someone to keep going when most people quitHow to turn loss into purpose—and help others do the sameIf you've ever faced adversity, loss, or a moment that forced you to question who you are… this episode will stay with you.About Daniel CarltonDaniel Carlton is a retired U.S. Army Special Forces (Green Beret) soldier, Ranger qualified, and 2? Purple Heart recipient. A husband and father of eight, Daniel survived a catastrophic IED blast in combat that resulted in limb loss and severe injuries to his remaining leg.Since 2012, he has committed his life to pushing physical and mental limits—participating in endurance rucks, extreme challenges, and community-driven events that help others confront pain, trauma, and growth.

In this week's episode of the Finding God Podcast, Keana W. Mitchell explores what it truly means to worship without fear for those healing from religious trauma, spiritual manipulation, or environments where worship felt pressured or unsafe. This gentle, trauma‑informed conversation guides listeners back to the heart of worship: connection, honesty, and safety in God's presence.Keana begins with a grounding moment, then revisits last week's episode on reconnecting with God after religious trauma. Drawing from leading trauma researchers like Dr. Bessel van der Kolk, Dr. Stephen Porges, and Dr. Diane Langberg, she explains how trauma affects the nervous system and why worship can feel overwhelming even when the desire to connect with God is strong.Through powerful biblical examples — David, Elijah, Hagar, Mary Magdalene, and the disciples  Keana shows how God consistently meets people in fear with gentleness, not pressure. The episode then explores what worship without fear looks like in real life and offers practical steps for creating spiritually safe, grounding worship practices.This episode is a compassionate reminder that God's presence is not a place of fear, but a place of refuge.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeWhy worship can feel unsafe after religious traumaHow trauma affects the body's ability to feel spiritually safeInsights from leading trauma psychologists (van der Kolk, Porges, Langberg)Biblical stories of people who found safety in God's presenceWhat worship without fear actually looks likeGentle, practical steps to begin worshiping safely againEncouragement for reconnecting with God at your own paceKey TakeawaysGod's presence is a place of safety, not pressureTrauma can make worship feel overwhelming — and that's normalHealing requires gentleness, not spiritual performanceWorship can be quiet, slow, and deeply personalGod meets you where you are, not where others expect you to beSmall moments of connection matter and build over timeScripture ReferencesPsalm 23; Psalm 34 — David finding refuge in God1 Kings 19 — Elijah encountering God's gentle whisperGenesis 16 & 21 — Hagar meeting “El Roi,” the God who sees herJohn 20 — Mary Magdalene and the disciples finding peace in Jesus' presenceScholarly References (General Citations)van der Kolk, B.

Most of us know about the “fight, flight, freeze” responses to trauma. But there is another concept that has been steadily gaining awareness over the last several years, in large part due to pop psychology on social media: Fawning.You might have heard it described as akin to extreme people-pleasing, over-accommodating, over-functioning, and fundamentally a problem in the person doing the fawning. But as my guest today illuminates for us, it's not a personal failing, or even always a conscious choice. It is human nature to prioritize safety and connection, and fawning is a means of keeping ourselves safe. But when fawning runs the show, self-leadership diminishes and quietly drifts toward conflict-avoiding, blurred boundaries, and self-abandonment.Waking up to your fawning response takes courage. You will meet resistance from some as you shift the dynamics of your relationships. But it also unlocks deeper intimacy, more honest connection, and the joy that comes from trusting yourself and letting others meet the real you.This conversation invites you to consider where and with whom you fawn, and how you might want to respond in the future. Fawning has a real purpose when safety is on the line, but the more we are aware of it, the more we can be intentional about how we show up in our relationships.Ingrid Clayton is a licensed clinical psychologist with a master's degree in transpersonal psychology and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. In her private practice in Los Angeles she supports individuals in healing trauma, reclaiming agency, and reconnecting to their authentic selves.She is a regular contributor to Psychology Today, and her work has been featured in Oprah Daily, The New York Times, Women's Health, Forbes, 10% Happier with Dan Harris, Girls Gotta Eat, and NPR's On Point with Meghna Chakrabarti. Ingrid's latest book, Fawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves and How to Find Our Way Back, explores the often-overlooked fawn response to trauma.Listen to the full episode to hear:Why fawning shows up as an unconscious response to ongoing relational traumaHow understanding fawning helped Ingrid understand and heal from her own complex traumaHow our culture demands and reinforces fawning for women and marginalized peopleThe often very real bind of choosing safety over self and the feedback loop it createsAccessible practices to build a sense of internal safety and self-trustHow chronic fawning and self-abandonment contribute to burnoutLearn more about Ingrid Clayton, PhD:WebsiteInstagram: @ingridclaytonphdFacebook: @ingridclaytonphdYouTube: @ingridclaytonphdUnfawning on SubstackFawning: Why the Need to Please Makes Us Lose Ourselves–and How to Find Our Way BackBelieving Me: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse and Complex TraumaLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:What Is the Fawning Trauma Response? | Psychology TodayPeter LevineThe Greatest Showman Cast - This Is MeThe Traitors

Every question in this episode reflects the courage and vulnerability of this community and I'm honored to walk through them with you.What We CoverHow to recognize when someone is moving too fastThe fear of confusing genuine interest with manipulationWhy intensity feels familiar when you've experienced traumaHow love bombing shows up in friendships and faith communitiesWhat healthy interest looks and feels likeRebuilding trust in yourself after being love bombedChoosing peace over “nice”How to slow things down without losing the connectionKey TakeawaysYour body often senses pressure before your mind names it.Consistency is a better indicator of safety than intensity.Trauma can make chaos feel like chemistry — but you can learn a new rhythm.Love bombing isn't limited to romantic relationships.Healthy interest respects your boundaries and your pace.Self‑trust grows through small decisions and gentle awareness.You don't need a dramatic reason to walk away — discomfort is enough.Reflection QuestionsUse these for journaling or inside the Worth Loving Collective:What does “moving too fast” feel like in my body?Do I feel safe slowing down a connection?What patterns do I notice in people who feel safe vs. unsafe?How do I want healthy interest to show up in my life?What small decision can I make this week to rebuild trust in myself?Join the Worth Loving CollectiveIf you're navigating these questions in your own life and want a safe, supportive community to walk with you, the Worth Loving Collective on Skool is open to you. Inside, we explore relationships, boundaries, emotional safety, and rebuilding self‑worth — all in a trauma‑informed, spiritually grounded space. You don't have to heal alone.Final EncouragementYou deserve a love that honors your pace. You deserve clarity, not confusion. You deserve a connection that feels steady, not overwhelming. And you deserve to trust yourself again  one gentle step at a time.

Burnout, anxiety, and imposter syndrome rarely appear in isolation—they are often the result of unresolved trauma, fractured self-connection, and years of emotional overcompensation. In this episode of The Mental Health & Wellness Show, I, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, sit down with Lisa Skeffington, a multi-award-winning psychotherapist, self-esteem expert, and executive coach with over 25 years of experience, to explore what true healing looks like beyond surface-level solutions.Lisa shares her deeply personal journey from growing up in a domestically violent home to working in diplomatic and investment banking environments, and ultimately finding her calling in psychotherapy. Together, we discuss why traditional, highly scripted therapy models often fail trauma-impacted individuals, and why a holistic, person-centered approach—one that integrates psychodynamic mentoring, trauma-informed care, and authentic human connection—is essential for burnout recovery, emotional resilience, and sustainable mental wellness.In this episode, you'll learn:Why burnout, anxiety, and imposter syndrome are often symptoms of deeper emotional wounds and unresolved traumaHow high-achieving women unknowingly mask anxiety as ambition, overwork, and people-pleasingWhy holistic, trauma-informed approaches outperform rigid, one-size-fits-all therapy modelsWhat psychodynamic mentoring is and how combining modalities accelerates healing and empowermentHow vulnerability, honest communication, and self-connection are essential for sustainable mental wellnessLisa Skeffington is the founder of Empowered Momentum, author of From Anxious to Empowered, and a global mentor for women navigating burnout, self-esteem struggles, and identity transitions. Her work helps women stop running from themselves, reconnect with their inner strength, and build lives rooted in authenticity, resilience, and emotional freedom.Join me, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, for this deeply human conversation on trauma healing, burnout recovery, self-worth, and what it truly means to move from anxiety to empowerment.Catch Lisa on: FacebookInstagramLinkedInWebsite

In this episode of Explaining History, Nick continues his exploration of the Chinese Cultural Revolution through the lens of Tania Branigan's Red Memory. We examine Mao Zedong's complex relationship with the youth of China—how he mobilized them as revolutionary shock troops, only to discard them when they became a threat to order.We delve into the "Down to the Countryside" movement, where 17 million urban teenagers were sent to remote villages to "learn from the peasants." Nick explores the ideological motivations behind this mass displacement: Mao's belief that the younger generation was being softened by "sugar-coated bullets" of bourgeois comfort and needed to be re-forged through hard labour.From the boredom that followed the initial revolutionary fervour to the lasting trauma (and surprising nostalgia) of the "sent-down youth," this episode unpacks the human cost of Mao's permanent revolution.Plus: A recap of our first masterclass and details on the upcoming session on Post-War America (1945-74) on February 15th!For Ad free episodes:Join us on PatreonKey Topics:The Red Guards: From revolutionary zeal to boredom and disillusionment.Down to the Countryside: Why Mao sent 17 million teenagers to live with peasants.Ideological purity: The fear of "revisionism" and the need for constant struggle.Memory and Trauma: How the "lost generation" reconciles their past with modern China.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

In today's episode, I'm talking to Amber Trejo, a licensed marriage and family therapist who specializes in complex trauma and attachment, about what might be under the perfectionism, shame, and self-loathing.

Grab your tissues and pull up on that yellow strap—J.B. and Eddie are back in the vault! After a brief hiatus, the duo returns to kick off 2026 by diving into the "not-so-great" years of Disney history with a deep dive into the 2007 emotional rollercoaster, Bridge to Terabithia. In this episode, J.B. and Eddie share their first-time reactions to the film, exploring why neither of them saw it during its original release. They discuss:Behind the Scenes: The unique connection between the film's screenplay and the original book's author. A "Slow Burn" Experience: Their thoughts on the film's gradual build-up of magic and imagination versus its heavy realism. Heavy Themes: An honest look at the "layering effect" of the movie's most difficult topics, from intense school bullying and parental wounds to religious confusion and, of course, that devastating ending. Nostalgia & Trauma: How the film captures the raw, often "mean" reality of childhood in a way few Disney movies dare to. Whether you're revisiting this childhood classic or hearing about it for the first time, join the guys for their signature blend of Disney nostalgia and therapy-session-level analysis. Warning: This episode contains major spoilers for Bridge to Terabithia (and one very specific Harry Potter spoiler).

Through the Biology of Trauma® lens, I share how trauma disrupts the natural flow and movement of life—and the healing roadmap that takes us from stuck to truly alive. If we've ever wondered why we can reach every external goal and still feel disconnected from our own life, this episode explains why. I share Elena's story, a 45-year-old Chief Operating Officer whose autoimmune diagnosis revealed what her body had been holding for decades. When her thirteen-year-old daughter had thoughts of suicide—and felt she couldn't talk to her mom—Elena finally understood: a part of her had been frozen since before she could walk. We'll explore how nervous system dysregulation shows up as professional success masking emotional unavailability. We'll see how trauma stops our natural movement through life—and discover the six-step roadmap from survival to authenticity, belonging, and flow. In this episode you'll learn: [00:00] Why successful people can still be frozen in survival patterns from childhood [02:15] How Elena's birth trauma created a freeze response before she could walk [06:40] The moment her daughter's crisis revealed decades of emotional unavailability [09:10] Trauma defined: the biggest disruptor of movement in our life [12:45] Why everything inside us is movement—and what happens when trauma stops it [16:05] The healing destination: authenticity, belonging, and flow as what it means to be alive [19:50] Why state shifts matter more than neuroplasticity on your healing journey [24:05] How neuroplasticity wires in whatever state you're in—including overwhelm [26:30] The six-step roadmap: from "I am alive" to connection with others [28:15] How Elena broke the generational cycle with her daughters Main Takeaways: Trauma Is the Biggest Disruptor of Movement: Trauma isn't just an event—it's the shock that stops us. It disrupts movement at every level: physical, emotional, relational, and through our life stages. Successful and Frozen Can Coexist: High achievement doesn't mean our nervous system is regulated. Elena built an impressive career while part of her remained that terrified little girl, hiding and staying still to survive. State Shifts Come Before Neuroplasticity: Whatever state we're in is what neuroplasticity wires in. If we're frequently in stress and overwhelm, our brain builds pathways that make that pattern automatic. We must shift our state first. The Destination Is Authenticity, Belonging, and Flow: These three elements define what it means to be truly alive—free to be ourselves, grounded in connection, and moving with ease through life. You Can't Skip the Sequence: The roadmap follows a specific order: recognizing we're alive, choosing to live, shifting our state, being here, wanting to be here, deserving to be here, and finally connecting with others. Each step prepares us for the next. Healing Breaks Generational Patterns: When Elena addressed her frozen patterns, her daughters noticed changes they never expected. The "resting bitch face" disappeared. Presence replaced absence. Notable Quotes: "Trauma becomes the biggest disruptor of movement in our life." "I can still see myself as a little girl, hiding with my dolls, quiet, still and absolutely terrified." "Whatever state we are in is what neuroplasticity wires in." "Being in calm alive can actually become a habit. Imagine that." "Your body's decision to freeze wasn't a failure—it was survival. But you don't have to stay frozen." "My 12-year-old girl didn't realize that I had grown up and that I am alive—which means that she did it. She made it. We're alive." Episode Takeaway: Frozen doesn't mean broken. Elena's story reveals what happens when trauma stops our natural movement through life—not just physical movement, but emotional presence, relational connection, and our ability to truly arrive in the life we've built. Her freeze response began at birth, reinforced through childhood, and showed up decades later as professional success masking emotional unavailability. Her daughters felt it. Her body felt it. Her autoimmune diagnosis confirmed it. The healing roadmap offers a way forward. First, we help that frozen part recognize we're alive—that survival happened. Then we consciously choose to live, rather than simply existing because we had no choice. We learn to shift our state into calm and aliveness, practicing until it becomes our new default. And finally, we move through the deeper work: being here, wanting to be here, deserving to be here, and opening to genuine connection with others. Neuroplasticity works for or against us depending on our state. If overwhelm has become our habit, our brain has built pathways that take us there automatically. But when we build the habit of calm aliveness first, neuroplasticity starts working in our favor. The destination isn't perfection—it's authenticity, belonging, and flow. Movement is possible. Coming home to ourselves is possible. Resources/Guides: The Biology of Trauma book - Available now everywhere books are sold.

What if the brain fog you're experiencing isn't just tiredness—but your nervous system's way of disconnecting you from an unbearable reality? In this mini episode, Dr. Aimie Apigian answers a question from Rachel, a therapist in Seattle, about why the freeze response is associated with brain fog. Many people think of the freeze response as simply paralysis, not understanding the sophisticated biological mechanisms happening at the cellular level. This episode dives deep into the freeze response—when it happens, why it happens, and the brain inflammation that creates the disconnection and fog we experience. Understanding this biology helps us recognize when we or someone we're working with has a chronic functional freeze, so we know where to start with healing. In this episode you'll hear more about: The five steps the body takes to go into a trauma response—starting with activation and crossing the critical line of overwhelm The two reasons we cross that critical line: "too much too fast" (excessive activation) and "too little for too long" (prolonged stress without recovery) Why your nervous system decides certain situations are life threats—even when logically they're not (like being berated in residency or hearing hurtful words from someone you care about) The cellular biology of brain fog: How immune cells in your brain (microglia) unleash inflammation, cytokines, and chemokines that create the mental disconnection and fog The surreal feeling of freeze: Why voices sound distant, why you feel like you're in a daze, and why people around you seem far away even though they're right there Chronic functional freeze: The state where you're still functioning and going through life, but secretly wanting to hide, using substances like caffeine or food (especially histamine-producing foods) to push through Why anxiety is often your body fighting the freeze—using stress to stay out of shutdown, which is why relief from anxiety can sometimes make you fall into that heaviness The brain inflammation protocol: Specific nutrients and practices to keep your microglia in their resting state, including NAC, magnesium L-threonate, luteolin, GABA, resveratrol, and turmeric Ocular-cardiac reflex (eye support): A simple but powerful tool where gently pressing on closed eyes activates the vagus nerve for immediate calm Why starting with the freeze is essential—opening up the chronic functional freeze gives you more energy to dedicate to the healing journey Dr. Aimie's personal story of a biking accident and concussion—experiencing the freeze response firsthand as she regained consciousness on the sidewalk The freeze response isn't weakness or paralysis—it's your nervous system's sophisticated survival strategy when it perceives a life threat. Brain fog is always part of the freeze response, created by immune cells in your brain that help you disconnect from unbearable reality. Understanding this biology helps you recognize the freeze in yourself or others, and know that working with it is where healing must start.

Expiration dates aren't always what they seem. While most packaged foods carry them, some foods — like salt — can last virtually forever. In fact, there's a surprising list of everyday staples that can outlive the labels and stay good for years.

What is it beyond exercise, hormones and supplements? I was at a women's retreat in a sound healing. During the session, I experienced tears and came back to the circle after realizing I thought of my biological father during that session. I hadn't thought about him over the years much at all. Is that stored trauma? Is stored trauma something we all deal with on some level? Is it something that could be limiting our ability to reach a physical health or fitness goal. Is it related to what is blocking our ability to lose weight, to heal our gut, or on a bigger level is it putting us at risk for more serious health issues? We're unpacking all of this today. If all the right things aren't working in menopause, it may go beyond hormones and gut health.    My Guest: Dr. Aimie Apigian is a leading expert in trauma, attachment, and biology, and the founder of the Biology of Trauma™. She integrates her medical expertise with specialized training in trauma therapy to address the biological patterns that maintain chronic health conditions. Through her programs and upcoming book "The Biology of Trauma: How the Body Experiences and Holds Pain, Fear and Overwhelm and How to Heal," Dr. Aimie helps people understand why common health issues persist despite perfect nutrition and lifestyle changes, and provides practical tools for complete healing at the cellular level.   Connect with Dr. Aimie: Book - Biology of Trauma  Facebook Group - Biology of Trauma Instagram - @draimie   Questions We Answer in This Episode: [00:06:22] Do we have to remember something traumatic for it to actually have happened to us? [00:07:57] Are both physical and emotional traumas the same in the way they manifest in the body? What is trauma? [00:14:32] Many women in midlife experience unexplained weight gain, fatigue, or hormone issues despite 'doing everything right.' Are you saying past trauma is contributing to these challenges? [00:22:53] Is there a "too late" when it comes to healing the body from these early experiences? What does stored trauma look like inside the body physiologically? [00:28:41] What are the steps to address trauma impacting body composition for women in midlife — like belly fat that "won't budge" despite good habits? [00:33:25] How do you help strong, independent women recognize that “pushing through” might sometimes be prolonging unresolved trauma patterns in the body? [00:35:13] What attachment patterns from childhood can affect our health into adulthood?

Leave an Amazon Rating or Review for my New York Times Bestselling book, Make Money Easy!Spiritual healer Danny Morel shares the raw truth about why success without inner healing leads to emptiness and disease. After building a billion-dollar real estate empire while emotionally shut down, Danny discovered that his massive external success masked deep wounds from childhood that were slowly destroying him from the inside out. He vulnerably reveals how his mother's inability to show love and his father's abandonment created patterns of judgment and comparison that blocked true abundance, even at the height of his business success. Through radical healing work including ayahuasca ceremonies and facing his deepest fears, Danny learned that returning to love requires courage to go through darkness rather than around it. This transformative conversation offers a roadmap for anyone ready to heal generational trauma, integrate masculine and feminine energies, and create wealth from wholeness rather than woundedness.Sign up for Danny's live event AwakenDanny's book The Resilience Roadmap: A Guide to Building Your Ideal BusinessDanny's podcast The Higher Self with Danny MorelIn this episode you will learn:Why your biggest dreams require healing your deepest wounds to become realityHow judgment and comparison energetically block money and love from flowing into your lifeThe difference between building wealth from wounded masculine energy versus integrated wholenessWhy illness and disease are often the body's way of forcing you to heal unprocessed traumaHow forgiveness becomes the ultimate gateway to financial and relational abundanceFor more information go to https://www.lewishowes.com/1785For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960The first 60 seconds of this episode contains an AI-generated simulation of the voice of Lewis Howes, used with permission for creative purposes.More SOG episodes we think you'll love:Brendon Burchard – greatness.lnk.to/1770SCGary Zukav  – greatness.lnk.to/1773SCSimon Sinek – greatness.lnk.to/1762SC Get more from Lewis!
