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!

Do you feel guilty when you put your needs before others by saying no? When was the last time you chose yourself—just because you needed it, not because you earned it? Today, Jay is joined by Meggan Roxanne, writer, entrepreneur, and founder of the globally loved platform The Good Quote. Known for curating some of the internet’s most powerful and inspiring affirmations, Meggan now steps into the spotlight with her own voice, sharing a remarkable personal story of loss, resilience, and transformation. From growing up in a warm and loving home to experiencing a heart-wrenching moment at just four years old, when a grandparent told her they didn’t love her, Meggan opens up about how early trauma shaped her emotional world. Following her mother’s final wish, Meggan became the caretaker for her estranged grandfather, the very man who once wounded her deeply. Through that act of grace, she discovered the true meaning of forgiveness, empathy, and unconditional love. Throughout the episode, Meggan and Jay explore the difference between people-pleasing and creating space for authentic connection, how emotional boundaries protect our well-being, and what it takes to stop repeating the pain we’ve inherited. She candidly discusses the challenges of grief, especially after losing her mother, her best friend, her guide, and how that loss forced her to reimagine her identity and rebuild from the ground up. In this episode, you'll learn: How to Forgive Someone Who Hurt You Deeply How to Set Boundaries Without Feeling Guilty How to Heal After Losing a Parent How to Reconnect with Your Intuition How to Break Generational Cycles of Trauma How to Build Confidence Through Self-Respect Even in the darkest of seasons, you have the power to find peace, reshape your path, and step into a life guided by intention, healing, and light.

Welcome to another powerful episode of The George Peterson Podcast! In this special episode, I'm excited to share a conversation I had recently as part of The Spiritual Book Club's Life Changing Chat series with the amazing Jacinta.This was an honest, eye-opening discussion on addiction, trauma, Breathwork, and healing—and one that I believe will resonate deeply with anyone on the path of personal growth.We unpacked some of the big myths around addiction and why, in my experience, we often treat it backwards. It's not about asking why the addiction?—but why the pain? Because behind every addictive pattern is an unmet emotion or wound we haven't yet learned to sit with.We explored:My personal journey through addiction recoveryHow addiction shows up beyond substances—think phones, social media, judgmentThe role of distraction in sabotaging our dreamsWhy Breathwork is such a powerful tool to move through emotional pain and traumaHow regular meditation helps us stop bullshitting ourselves and make the growth zone our new comfort zoneAnd why the best way to inspire others into this work is to embody it yourselfThis conversation is a deep dive into emotional honesty, healing through discomfort, and how Breathwork and meditation can help us break free from the patterns that hold us back.

If you've been dealing with **histamine intolerance, MCAS, or unexplained sensitivities**, you already know that avoiding high-histamine foods and taking antihistamines isn't a real solution. True healing requires **going deeper**—into the nervous system, immune response, chronic infections, and past trauma. In this episode, I break down my **6-layer approach** to healing histamine intolerance and MCAS at the root: ✅ **Chronic Infections & Immune Dysregulation** – Addressing stealth pathogens, mold, parasites, and biofilms that keep your immune system on high alert. ✅ **Felt Danger Response & Nervous System Dysregulation** – How chronic stress, trauma, and an overactive fight-or-flight system drive histamine flares. ✅ **Organ Stagnation & Detox Pathways** – Liver, gallbladder, and gut imbalances that prevent histamine from being properly processed. ✅ **Hormone & Nutrient Imbalances** – The role of estrogen dominance, mitochondrial dysfunction, and missing cofactors in histamine overload. ✅ **Chronic Stress & Trauma** – How past emotional wounds, nervous system dysregulation, and subconscious patterns contribute to MCAS. ✅ **Attachment Wounds & Emotional Regulation** – Exploring how early attachment patterns shape our ability to self-soothe and regulate immune responses. We're also diving deep into **supplements, peptides, immune modulation techniques, neurotransmitter balancing, trauma healing, self-soothing strategies, flare support, and more.** If you're ready to take control of your healing, check out my **$25 ebook**, where I go even deeper into these layers, and my **$33 masterclass**, which gives you an actionable plan for rebuilding your health. **Get them here:** https://thehealerrevolution.practicebetter.io/#/61edf7263980330eec3a0490/bookingsListen now to start understanding your body on a deeper level.

Episode Overview:In this episode, I have the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Hebe Dickins, a somatic therapist, energy psychologist, and yoga and meditation teacher. Hebe's journey started in the world of acting, but her deep curiosity about the mind-body connection led her into the fields of trauma healing, energy psychology, and somatic therapy.We dive deep into what trauma really is, how it can show up in our lives (often without us realizing it), and the power of the body in processing and healing emotional wounds. Whether you've explored somatic work before or are just hearing about it for the first time, this episode will give you a fresh perspective on the ways trauma can manifest and how we can reconnect with ourselves through the body.What We Discuss:What trauma really is and how it affects the nervous systemThe difference between “talk therapy” and somatic therapyWhy so many people feel “stuck” and how trauma can be at the root of itThe body's role in storing and processing traumaHow trauma can impact relationships, intimacy, and self-worthWays to tell if you're embodied or disconnected from your bodyPractical steps to start reconnecting with your body and emotionsThe importance of honoring our nervous system's capacity and not pushing beyond our limitsHow Hebe's own journey with trauma healing has shaped her work todayHow to Know if Trauma is Affecting YouHebe shares some key signs that you might be carrying unresolved trauma in your body:You feel stuck in life, unable to move forward despite wanting to.You experience chronic stress, fatigue, or a feeling of "shutting down".You tend to be in a constant state of hypervigilance or overthinking.You struggle with intimacy, emotional numbness, or disconnection from loved ones.You feel like you're always on autopilot, disconnected from your emotions or physical sensations.If any of these resonate with you, Hebe offers insight into gentle, body-based healing approaches that can help.How to Start Reconnecting with Your Body:Pay attention to your body signals. Start noticing when you feel tension, numbness, or ease.Engage in body-based practices. This could be as simple as stretching, yoga, dance, or breathwork.Ask yourself, "What's great about this that I'm not getting?" This question can shift your perspective when facing challenges.Slow down and practice self-compassion. Your body is always working for you—listen to what it's trying to say.Resources & How to Connect with Hebe:Hebe's Website: AliveUK.co.ukFinal Thoughts:This conversation with Hebe was rich, insightful, and deeply grounding. If you've ever felt disconnected from your body, struggled with unprocessed emotions, or wanted a deeper understanding of trauma and healing, this episode is for you.I hope you take something valuable from it and, most importantly, give yourself the grace to explore your own journey at your own pace. Until next time!

Emotional health is deeply intertwined in an ongoing journey with spiritual health. This involves opening to our pain, grieving our trauma, and patiently cultivating a resilience that stabilizes and secures our relationships and our sense of self.With compassion, pastoral presence, and emotional attunement, psychologist Dr. David Wang is using psychological and theological tools to help us understand and adapt to emotional realities, explore the wounds of our past, and find healing and strength through acceptance and grief.In this conversation with David Wang, we discuss:The difference between human development and spiritual formation and how to understand maturityThe centrality of relationships in human life and growth, and how that's grounded in divine relationality and our communion with GodHow to become friends with ourselves, offering self-compassion and being moved by our own sufferingThe impact of childhood trauma on adult emotional, psychological, and spiritual healthAnd finally, how a practice of grief can help us understand and work through traumatic experiences and move toward healing.Show NotesChristian theology and formationA philosophical approach to theologically informed strategies for transformation and growthHow the relational aspects of God ground an approach to therapy and spiritual formationWhat are the markers of maturity?Relatedness and connection to others facilitates the process of human growth and developmentEmotional building blocks and relational capacities for maturityDave Wang on spiritual health and thrivingTheological and psychological frameworks of thrivingHolding the beautiful beside the brokenBecoming friends with ourselvesShow compassion, be moved by our own suffering, and accept limitations as we strive toward the hard work we're all called to.Two paradoxical needs to achieve spiritual maturity and healthWe are made for relationships, but we also need independenceBalanceSpiritual and emotional maturityFormation through practice, education, and healthy developmentCan virtue be taught?Can maturity be educated?Can we learn to thrive and be spiritually healthy?In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts, Dr. Gabor Maté writes that “The attempt to escape from pain is what creates more pain.”When our brains and our bodies go into survival modeAvoidance as a coping mechanism or strategyChildhood trauma in childhood“When the psychic pain is so unbearable, the felt threat so intimidating, we mentally and emotionally try to escape.”Childhood trauma can reemerge in adult behaviors, relationships, habits, language, even physical illness or conditions.Do I have trauma that I haven't dealt with?The symptoms or signs of traumaHow to approach the process of seeking help and healing.Concrete practices that can help and heal traumatic experienceLearning to grieveChristian spiritual practices of prayerThe emotional practice of grief and acceptanceDr. Pam King's Key TakeawaysHuman beings need both relationships and independence. And learning how to balance and integrate them is a marker of our maturity.Though we may try to escape from pain, to deal with trauma we need to practice acceptance and grief. It's a difficult and complex relational process that brings us closer to healing and wholeness.We can befriend ourselves in our pain through a practice of self-compassion.In this life, we have to hold beauty beside brokenness. Cultivating the capacity to do so is the hard work of growth into spiritual and emotional maturity, and the joyful journey of thriving.www.drdavidcwang.comhttps://www.seminaryformationproject.com/About David WangDr. David Wang is a licensed psychologist and Associate Professor of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary, where he's also the Cliff and Joyce Penner Chair for the Formation of Emotionally Healthy Leaders and scholar in residence at Fuller's Center for Spiritual Formation.

If you are feeling tested, come here to find some peace. After working our way through a season of tests and triggers, we know the feeling that remains is often complex, tumultuous, and tough to navigate. This episode offers some somatic tools, regulation techniques, and a dose of realness you might be craving to remind you that you're not alone, you're not a bad person, and you're not being punished.  In this episode, Lacy, Jessica, and Janelle dive into the deep connection between creating spaces for safety and authentic magnetism. They discuss how the process of stripping away what no longer serves us—whether consciously or unconsciously—creates space for true alignment. They share how they are sourcing small pockets of safety and emotional regulation, and how they have been connecting to their magnetism, even in the midst of upheaval. The mantra of the year?

EP 129 - Tracy Schreifels, Healing Prenatal TraumasThe thinking for infants and mental health had always been that they were too young to remember any potentially traumatic events.

Wellness + Wisdom | Episode 686 How can emotional triggers act as teachers, guiding you toward self-mastery? Mark Groves joins Josh Trent on the Wellness + Wisdom Podcast, episode 686, to share why emotional trauma is an initiation into personal growth, how unresolved wounds shape relationships and behavior, and why healing involves setting boundaries and building emotional resilience for healthier connections. "Behind every trigger is an opportunity for mastery. When you are triggered, there's an opportunity for you to learn a skill set, but also expand your capacity to hold the trigger because there's information there." - Mark Groves  

A number of years ago during one of our Michigan winters, our kids had a snow day off of school. What should have been a fun memory for our daughter became really scary since she suffered a sledding accident that put her in the hospital. She went through surgery and weeks at home in a wheelchair. To make matters worse, when she finally returned to school she was pushed out of her friend group by a bully who made the rest of her school year lonely and miserable.For a time, these things affected her deeply until she healed and regained her strength. Yet for many children, traumatic events go beyond a single, difficult crisis. When kids experience ongoing abuse, neglect, and risk of harm, the effects can last for life. It's no secret that traumatic events can have a profound impact on our kids' lives. We all want to serve and love our kids well when they experience pain, and the awareness and understanding of the impact of trauma can make a world of difference.That's why we are so glad to welcome our guest, Jayne Schooler. Jayne is the author and co-author of many books including Caring for Kids from Hard Places. She's an expert in Child Welfare, she's an adoptive parent, and she has brought trauma-informed training worldwide to help adults care for kids in pain.In this episode, Jayne shares :What trauma is and the different typesSome of the behaviors children may display after a traumaHow we can best support our children through the painAnd much more!This conversation has been so helpful in understanding how trauma can affect our children!Show Notes: growinghometogether.com/jayne-schooler-101

Suppose you polled therapists and asked them what the most controversial diagnosis is in the current version of the DSM. Many of us would likely say Borderline Personality Disorder, and it would certainly be in almost everybody's top three.I've been wanting to do an episode on BPD for a bit because there is something about this controversial diagnosis that allows us to explore the challenging and consequential nature of psychiatric diagnosis itself.To guide us in this exploration, I've had the privilege of inviting Dr. Awais Aftab, a leading authority in the field. His extensive work on philosophical, ethical, and scientific issues related to diagnosis makes him the perfect person to delve into this complex topic with. Awais Aftab, MD, is a psychiatrist in Cleveland, Ohio, and Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University. He led the interview series "Conversations in Critical Psychiatry" for Psychiatric Times, which explores critical and philosophical perspectives in psychiatry, with a book adaptation forthcoming from Oxford University Press. He is a senior editor for Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology and has been actively involved in initiatives to educate psychiatrists and trainees on conceptual and critical issues. He blogs at Psychiatry at the Margins.In the conversation, we dig into whether Borderline Personality Disorder is “real” and what that means, how it relates to the philosophical concept of epistemic injustice, how context influences the utility of a diagnosis, and more.Listen to the full episode to hear:How treatment of people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder frequently illustrates aspects of epistemic injustice/justiceThe ways that clinical setting and context influence the use, or misuse, of BPD as a diagnostic label and how that impacts patientsHow quantitative psychology is influencing how we conceptualize personality disordersWhy a BPD diagnosis can be intensely valuable for some clients, and how it helps guide cliniciansWhy we can't chalk up all psychopathology to traumaHow calls for testimonial justice from psychiatric patients should serve as a corrective force to excessive skepticism of patient narrativesLearn more about Dr. Awais Aftab:Psychiatry at the MarginsX: @awaisaftabLearn more about Riva Stoudt:Into the Woods CounselingThe Kiln SchoolInstagram: @atherapistcantsaythatResources:Borderline Personality and Self-Understanding of PsychopathologyEpistemic injusticeThe epistemic injustice of borderline personality disorder,  Jay Watts, BJPsych InternationalA Metaphysics of Psychopathology, Peter ZacharPeter Fonagy

Tantra has been an integral part of the healing journey of a lot of people. This is one of the things I love about tantra, is that it has allowed people to have a space for healing and openness. It has opened up a pathway to allow people to heal their inner child during their adult lives. Healing is a process and a journey. One will continuously have to put in the work to grow and stay connected with the body and mind. It is  always going to be a work in progress. For this week's episode, Sophia and I had a chat about...How the body plays an impactful role in healing traumaHow healing trauma is a never-ending journey How tantra has been an integral part of people's healing journey If you would like to connect with Kim on a complimentary discovery call and see how you can work with her, book your call here - https://calendly.com/talk-to-kim/unleash-your-unapologetic-power-now About the guest ❤️Sophia Leslie is a certified Sacred Sexuality coach and therapist with VITA accreditation and other certifications on Tantra.She strives for the harmonious integration of sexuality and spirituality, creating an environment where individuals can open to profound exploration and the uplifting experience of deep pleasure and transformation.Over the past eight years, she has guided thousands of individuals, helping them in transformation and expansion through pleasure and love.Choosing to work with her means immersing yourself in embracing all parts of you and the confidence to be yourself in the bedroom and life. Get to know Sophia more here…Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sophialeslie/Website - https://www.sophialeslie.com/ —----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Follow Kim below and continue the convo! Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=569755109 Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/get_your_sexy_back_coach/ Website - https://getyoursexyback.ca/ Private FB Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/2251812558445958/

The same can be said for my guest Frances.  In this week's episode, Frances and I talk about...The connection between how you are in the bedroom and how you are outside of itHow the different tantra practices have been helpful in healing traumaHow tantra has been influential in our relationship with ourselves, others, spirituality, and the divine Frances Goodall is an IFS practitioner, chronic fatigue recovery specialist, Gupta Coach, Family Constellations Practitioner and pleasure advocate.
