Podcasts about Your Body

This episode includes discussion of infant loss and war trauma. Listener discretion is advised. Nichole Bigley welcomes Inna Segal, a leader in energy medicine and author of The Secret Language of Your Body, for a powerful conversation about healing, ancestral intuition, and the intelligence of the body. Inna's spiritual awakening was catalyzed by profound grief. After the stillbirth of her first child, she experienced a vivid angelic visitation — a feminine presence dressed in white, accompanied by two angelic children — offering reassurance and a prophetic message that she would one day have two children. That moment became a turning point. What followed was a deep journey into understanding pain, illness, and the hidden emotional roots beneath physical symptoms. After years of digestive issues, psoriasis, anxiety, and back pain, Inna began learning how to listen to her body — and everything changed. This conversation touches on: The angelic visitation that brought peace during unimaginable loss and marked a turning point in Inna's life. Her grandmother's extraordinary Holocaust survival story and the ancestral clairvoyance woven through her lineage. The intersection of trauma and intuitive inheritance within a family system. How the body functions as a personal guidance system available to everyone. The role of guardian angels and the unseen threads that shape destiny. Why physical symptoms are communication rather than punishment. Inna shares that while not everyone may believe they can access angels or divine guidance directly, every person has access to their body. And when we learn to interpret its signals, we open a pathway to healing that is grounded, empowering, and deeply spiritual. To learn more about Inna Segal's work, explore her books, teachings, and masterclasses centered on the wisdom of the body and conscious healing. You can connect with her online, follow her reflections and insights on social media, and continue deepening your understanding of how the body communicates and guides you on your path. This episode is about resilience. It is about trust. It is about remembering that guidance can arrive through angels, ancestors, or the quiet language of the body itself.

Sheryl Glick host of Healing From Within Interviews Guy Joseph Ale author of Best Version of Yourself at Every Age: Tapping the Wisdom and Wellness of Your Body. Guy is considered to be one of the world's visionaries in the field of human lifespan.

#403 In this episode, Guy introduced Dr. Lara Varden, a functional genomics practitioner, but the conversation focused largely on her personal healing journey rather than DNA. Dr. Varden described a severe 2001 rear-end collision that left her disabled, in chronic pain, and taking 21–22 prescription medications, leading to multiple spine surgeries and years of impairment. After reading Dolores Cannon's "The Three Waves of Volunteers and the New Earth," she sought a QHHT session in 2015 and says she stopped using her cane immediately and weaned off 14 years of medications within a month, which reframed her approach to integrating science with metaphysical healing. She returned to academia, completed her studies, pursued a funded PhD focused on spine-related research, and later blended holistic, trauma-informed, and energy-based perspectives with scientific genetics and epigenetics. Near the end, they discussed how DNA testing can guide personalized health strategies—especially detoxification and nutrient pathways—shared examples from Guy's genetics, and direct listeners to The DNA Company website, email, and app for reports, education, and testing options. About Dr. Lara: Dr. Lara Varden, Ph.D., is a multi-credentialed clinical practitioner and expert in Precision Medicine. With certifications in functional genomics, nutrition, and holistic health, she has made significant contributions to genetic research and education. In 2024, Dr. Varden helped develop The DNA University, creating training materials to improve patient care globally. Her work spans cellular biology, molecular genetics, and neuroscience, with a focus on empowering people through nutrition and lifestyle changes. As Dean of Students, she emphasizes integrity, proven science, and personalized healing in her practice.

Cheri Carandanis, an abstract painter and former Air Force critical care nurse, shared her journey from pre-med studies to nursing, driven by her desire to balance career and family. She transitioned to the military, specializing in ICU and CCAT teams, and served in Afghanistan post-9/11. After separating from the military, she pursued hospice nursing and earned a master's degree in nursing. In 2019, she suffered two brain injuries, leading to cognitive and vestibular issues, forcing her to retire her nursing license. Through functional neurology and alternative therapies, she recovered significantly, emphasizing the importance of creativity and mindfulness in healing. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/cheri-carandanis  Highlights from today's episode include:  When I paint, I don't have a brain injury." – Abstract art and flow state became a powerful part of her neurological and emotional healing after two brain injuries. "If you've seen one healing, you've seen one healing." – Every healing journey is unique, and creativity, intuition, and somatic work can open paths that conventional medicine alone often can't. "Nothing's really broken; it's just not communicating how it should." – The body often needs a reset, not a label, and approaches like Bowen and other body-centered work help "reboot" the nervous system so healing can happen.   ABOUT CHERI CARANDANIS: Cheri Carandanis is an abstract painter, mixed media artist, and former Air Force Critical Care nurse who knows a thing or two about surviving what she never saw coming. After a traumatic brain injury ended her 25-year nursing career, she turned to art…not as a hobby, but as a lifeline. Now based in Portland, Oregon, Cheri creates raw, emotionally layered work that invites connection and contemplation. Her paintings don't try to explain everything—instead, they hold space for what's been broken, unraveled, and rebuilt. Through texture, color, and bold mark-making, she explores themes of healing, resilience, and the beauty that often shows up after the fall. Her story is one of reinvention, grit, and choosing creativity when everything else falls away. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to create space for truth, the kind that lives in the body, not just the story. I'm passionate about art as a place where people can slow down, feel what they've been avoiding, and come back to themselves without being fixed or explained. I care about honest healing, not performative healing, and about beauty that holds weight, not escape. My work invites presence, courage, and staying with what's real.

Hello everyone!  I'm completely thrilled to bring you this month's episode of The Becoming Podcast with Dr. Hillary McBride, my colleague and co-author of a chapter about the development of spirituality in matrescence in the recent book I've edited, Mother Becoming:  Reflections and Scholarship on Matrescence. Let me tell you a little bit about Hillary: Dr. Hillary McBride is a Registered Psychologist, host of the award winning CBC podcast Other People's Problems, and author of 5 books, including the Bestseller The Wisdom of Your Body and her most recent book released last year: Holy Hurt: Understanding spiritual trauma and the process of healing. She has been recognized by the American Psychological Association and Canadian Psychologist Association for her research and clinical work, and was awarded the prestigious International Young Investigators Award for her research contributions on women's sexuality. When she is not with patients or students, researching embodiment, or writing her next book, she loves to be near the ocean, or dancing with her daughter. Here's some of what Hillary and I dive into in our conversation together: The way that women's rites of passage, particularly matrescence and menopause, have been pathologized, overmedicalized and seen through a lens of deficiency...and how they are also, often, times of great potential and possibility in women's lives. How women's processes of growing up are often framed as a loss within misogynistic, patriarchal culture. Hillary's research on what happens during these developmental transitions when things go well...including that many women feel more connected to themselves and more embodied as they transform, but also afraid to talk about it because our culture so often supports and prefers a narrative of struggle during these times. We geek out on how you know a rite of passage is over, and some of the most important supports that can help us to integrate and metabolize transformative times in our lives. The spiritual growth that often occurs for women during the rites of passage they experience in their lives, including the chapter Hillary co-authored with our mutual colleague Dr. Larissa Rossen for the Mother Becomingbook on mothering as a spiritual technology. And so much more!  I loved this conversation with Hillary – I found it both tremendously affirming and deeply galvanizing as we look toward the power and potential that exists when women's rites of passage are well supported.  I hope you enjoy it too!   Listen to this episode on iTunes   Show Notes Hillary's website Hillary's instagram Hillary's CBC Podcast, "Other People's Problems" Hillary's books Mother Becoming:  Reflections and Scholarship on Matrescence   Also, while you're at it, if you enjoy the Becoming Podcast, I would be so grateful if you would rate, review and even subscribe to it wherever you get your podcasts.  That goes a long way to helping more and more people find and benefit from hearing these interviews.  Thank you so much!

For most of the past century, more women than men have died from cardiovascular disease. Yet, heart disease is still widely perceived as a male problem.  That's why in this episode, we dive into why cardiovascular and metabolic health are essential for women, especially in midlife, and why education is your greatest tool.  You'll gain the confidence to advocate for yourself and make informed decisions about your long-term health. I'll also be sharing my favorite simple habits to kickstart your metabolism, protect your heart, and boost your everyday energy.  Remember, it never has to be perfect—consistency builds momentum, and that's where real change begins.  Tune in here to gain key insight and prioritize yourself and your longevity! IN THIS EPISODE Recognizing the warning signs of cardiovascular disease  Labs and markers you should be asking your physician for  Why lifestyle medicine matters SO much in midlife  How to build metabolically healthy plates for each meal Setting simple movement goals for optimal heart health The massive benefits of sleep, mindfulness, and breath work Supplements to support your cardiovascular and metabolic health The pros of appropriately timed hormone replacement therapy  QUOTES “Heart disease kills more women than all cancers combined. Not breast cancer, not ovarian cancer. All cancers combined. And what's even more alarming for most women, the warning signs begin years- sometimes decades- before a heart attack or stroke ever happens.”  “Research shows that insulin resistance is a primary driver of cardio metabolic disease in women, especially after menopause.” “You do not need perfection. You need 7,000 steps per day, walking after meals, fewer long sitting stretches. Get up and move your butt, even if it means walking around your house or going around the block. Start building your life around movement. This is one of the most powerful yet underestimated tools for heart health and for your resilience.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Order your Berkeley Life Nitric Oxide Support Supplement https://berkeleylife.pxf.io/Vxvdja RELATED EPISODES  716: Midlife, Hormones & Heart Health: The Critical Connection You're Not Hearing About with Cathy Eason 711: Estrogen, Inflammation, and Your Heart Health: What Every Woman Needs to Know with Dr. Sanjay Bhojraj 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 686: Your Second Puberty Explained: What's Really Happening to Your Body in Perimenopause

Are you feeling more tired, anxious, or “off” in midlife — and wondering what's really going on? What if it's not just stress or aging, but a deeper hormonal shift affecting your entire body? Midlife doesn't have to feel like everything is slowing down. In this powerful episode, longevity and anti‑aging expert Dr. Sofia Din joins Anthony Hartcher to unpack “the pause” — the hormonal shift that impacts both women (perimenopause & menopause) and men (andropause). Dr. Din explains why this phase affects energy, sleep, metabolism, mood, gut health, libido, skin, immunity, and cognitive clarity — and why modern medicine often overlooks the deeper root causes. You'll learn:  ✨ What menopause really is (beyond reproductive changes)  ✨ Why men also experience a hormonal pause  ✨ How hormonal shifts affect every system in the body  ✨ Why anxiety, weight changes & fatigue are so common in midlife  ✨ The role of HRT, peptides & regenerative medicine  ✨ The impact of gut health after age 50  ✨ Smart lifestyle habits to support healthspan and vitality  ✨ Healthy alternatives to alcohol for managing perimenopausal anxiety Dr. Din also shares her holistic approach to helping clients move from pause back into flow, while supporting longevity, strength, and wellbeing. About Dr. Sofia DinDr. Sofia Din, MD, is a New York–based, board-certified family physician with 25+ years of experience and specialized training in geriatrics and hospital medicine.

Pelvic floor tips to move from tension and guarding to comfort and confidence If you've been listening to this series and thinking… “Okay, I understand what might be causing my pain.” “I see how stress and mental load are affecting my body.” “But what do I actually DO?” This episode is your next step. Pain with intimacy is common — but it is not something you have to push through, numb out, or accept as your new normal. Today we're talking about practical, body-based strategies to reduce pelvic floor tension, rebuild safety, and gradually restore comfort and confidence in the bedroom. Because healing isn't about forcing relaxation. It's about creating safety. In This Episode, We Cover: Why pushing through pain makes it worse The pain → guarding → more pain cycle Why many women with painful intercourse actually have an overactive pelvic floor (not a weak one) The importance of downtraining before strengthening 360 breathing and long exhale techniques to calm tension “Hip breathers” and mobility work that support pelvic relaxation External soft tissue release before internal work How to approach dilators or pelvic wand work safely (if appropriate) The power of slowing down arousal and removing performance pressure Lube, positioning, and small environmental shifts that make a big difference How graded exposure helps retrain the brain and calm pain pathways The Big Reframe Pain with intimacy is not a sign that you are broken. It is information. Your nervous system and pelvic floor are communicating something — often about tension, overwhelm, fear, or past experiences. When we respond with pressure, force, or avoidance, the guarding increases. When we respond with safety, breath, and gradual progression, the body adapts. Your brain and pelvic floor are deeply connected — and both can relearn safety. Practical Starting Points If you're experiencing pain with intercourse, consider: ✔️ Pausing penetration temporarily ✔️ Focusing on breath and long exhales daily ✔️ Addressing hip, inner thigh, and glute tension ✔️ Prioritizing arousal before penetration ✔️ Experimenting with positions that give you control ✔️ Removing pressure to “perform” Remember: intimacy does not equal penetration. Connection and pleasure are broader than we were taught. When to See a Pelvic Floor PT You may benefit from professional support if: Pain persists beyond a few months You have a history of tearing or scar tissue You experience severe guarding or anxiety You're avoiding intimacy entirely DIY approaches aren't helping Inside RESTORE, we focus on breath coordination, nervous system regulation, mobility, and pelvic floor retraining in a progressive, supportive way. For more complex or severe pain, 1:1 pelvic floor physical therapy may be the best next step. You do not have to navigate this alone. Up Next in the Series In our next episode, we'll talk about rebuilding confidence and reclaiming pleasure — not just reducing pain. Because healing is not just about eliminating symptoms. It's about expanding what's possible. If this episode resonated, share it with someone who needs to hear that pain with intimacy is treatable — and that softness is strength. ~ XO Dr. Des

What if the breaking point so many of us are feeling right now is actually the beginning of profound healing and purpose?  In this episode, returning guest and trauma expert Dr. Aimie Apigian helps you understand why so many conversations feel triggering—and how unresolved trauma, not just current events, may be at the root.  We explore the difference between resolved and unresolved trauma, and why being activated is a sign your body is asking for deeper safety and support.  We're talking about shifting pain into meaningful action—whether that's healing your body, setting boundaries, or standing up for change in a grounded way.  Dr. Aimie breaks down her sequence of healing and explains the science behind how trauma is stored and how it can truly be resolved.  Tune in here to go from overwhelmed to empowered! Aimie Apigian, MD  Dr. Aimie Apigian is a double-board-certified physician in Preventive and Addiction Medicine with double Master's degrees in biochemistry and public health. She's the leading medical expert on how trauma becomes our biology and what to do once it creates a chronic health condition. She hosts a podcast, a YouTube channel, and online Summits, working with experts in the health and trauma space. She also leads groups through her programs to address stored trauma in the body, and teaches practitioners to do the same in her Biology of Trauma online Training. IN THIS EPISODE Discovering new layers of unresolved trauma  Creating safe spaces to ask the hard questions How to make your children feel safe to share their feelings   The biology behind why we can feel re-triggered Creating safety & mentally supporting yourself through hard times Resetting your nervous system to feel safe in your body  How to support & show up for each other through uncertain times Dr. Aimie's guide on healing stored trauma & more resources for you  QUOTES “Don't do anything alone. This is where a tribe, a group of people, can make a tremendous difference in the world.” “Healing is not staying small to stay safe. It's finding that safety, but then layering in the support on a biology level, on a somatic level, on a mind level.

Signs, symptoms & why waiting until postpartum may be the harder path Most women don't even know they can see a pelvic floor physical therapist while pregnant. They're told leaking is normal. Pelvic pain is normal. Pressure is normal. Back pain is normal. And while those symptoms may be common in pregnancy — they are not something you simply have to live with. In this episode, Dr. Des breaks down when to see a pelvic floor PT during pregnancy, what red flags to watch for, and why proactive support can completely change your pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery. Because pregnancy isn't something you're meant to survive — it's something you can move through with strength, strategy, and support. In This Episode, We Cover: Why pelvic floor PT during pregnancy is often overlooked The biggest misconception about “waiting until postpartum” Common but NOT normal symptoms in pregnancy Bladder leaking, urgency, and frequent UTIs Pelvic pain, pubic symphysis pain, SI joint pain, and tailbone pain Vaginal pressure or heaviness Pain with intercourse during pregnancy How breath mechanics and posture shift as baby grows Why prevention is easier than rehab What a pelvic floor PT actually does during pregnancy Birth prep strategies including pushing mechanics and positioning

Do you ever find yourself standing in front of the fridge at 6 PM just staring into the light? It is that heavy feeling of being completely "done" for the day. It is not just physical fatigue. It is your brain telling you it has nothing left to give. I have been there so many times and I want you to know that it is not a failure of willpower. This week is a little different because it is just you and me. I wanted to sit down and have a real heart to heart about why staying healthy feels so incredibly hard right now. We are living in such a loud and polarizing world when it comes to nutrition and honestly it is exhausting. I am sharing the concept of the Brain Bank Account which has been a total game changer for how I manage my own energy. We are moving away from the "shoulds" and looking at how to build gentle systems that actually hold you up when life gets messy.Here's what we dive into:- Why the world of nutrition feels so loud and confusing and how to find your own quiet center again.- How to use the Brain Bank Account method to stop overdrawing your internal energy.- What happens to our brains when we hit that 3 PM slump and how to nourish our way through it.- Why making decisions about food is actually one of the most taxing things we do every day.- How to align your natural biological rhythms with your busy social life without the stress.- What the Great British Veg Out is all about and why adding more is always better than taking away.- Why your health is individual and how to stop comparing your "off days" to someone else's highlight reel.Love, Sarah Ann

On Super Bowl Sunday during the Winter Olympics, Alyssa and Nadia discuss Lindsey Vonn competing in Olympic downhill days after tearing her ACL—and the crash that got her airlifted off the mountain again. They unpack injury risk, medical autonomy, and what elite athletes model for everyone watching.Nadia explains that Vonn tore her ACL last week, met with her medical team, and chose to race anyway. This morning she fell and was airlifted with a leg fracture. Nadia sees both sides: racing with a torn ACL is risky, but the crash looked like it came from clipping a gate—not purely the knee.Alyssa breaks down the ACL as the “packaging tape” that stabilizes the knee. Some athletes can compensate with strong surrounding muscles, but injury can disrupt proprioception and make the brain “shut off” muscle connection. The ACL might've limited her ability to load the left leg for a key right turn—though ice and countless variables could've been factors too.Nadia points to the pressure around Vonn: six-year retirement, huge comeback expectations, and tests suggesting she could do it. With that status, the medical team may have felt pushed to justify a “yes.” As Nadia puts it, no one could've stopped her—she was going to race.Alyssa connects this to her work with young gymnasts in competition season. Her role is to support goals while clearly assessing and communicating risk, not to override the athlete's choice. If they still want to compete after understanding the risks, she helps them do it as safely as possible.They shift to what athletes model for others. Nadia references Kerri Strug and how often gymnasts compete injured—brave, but sometimes concerning. Alyssa draws the key difference: Strug was a child under coach pressure, while Vonn is an adult making her own call.They close with Nadia's “personal Olympics”: her 12th year in gymnastics at 21. This season is about less stress, more fun, and enjoying leadership on e-board. With new teammates—including her sister—she's reliving milestones through fresh eyes.Happy Galentine's to all the listeners.TakeawaysThe ACL stabilizes the knee; tearing it can change control and confidence under high speed/load.Injury can disrupt proprioception and motor control, sometimes making movement less reliable.Elite athletes face intense external pressure to compete, which can bias decision-making around risk.Clinicians/medical teams must balance protecting health with supporting an athlete's goals.Adults have the right to make their own medical choices and accept calculated risk (“your body, your choice”).The Kerri Strug comparison isn't equal—she was a child under pressure; Vonn is an autonomous adult.In extreme sports, the biggest danger isn't reinjury—it's catastrophic, life-threatening trauma.Chapters0:10–0:48 – Introduction: Super Bowl Sunday and the Winter Olympics0:48–1:23 – Lindsey Vonn's Morning Injury1:23–2:37 – Last Week's ACL Tear and Decision to Compete2:37–4:09 – What Is an ACL?4:09–7:19 – Anatomy Lesson: Ligaments, Muscles, and Proprioception7:19–8:27 – How ACL Tears Happen and the Body's Response8:27–10:13 – Could She Have Avoided the Second Injury10:13–12:03 – The Mechanics of Her Fall: Did the ACL Play a Role?12:03–13:47 – The Pressure to Compete: Olympics and Comeback Stories13:47–15:19 – Working with Young Athletes: The Clinical Parallel15:19–16:39 – The Biggest Fear: Life-Threatening Injury16:39–18:10 – What Athletes Model: The Kerri Strug Comparison18:10–19:25 – Your Body, your Choice: Medical Autonomy19:25–20:10 – Hoping for Vonn's Recovery20:10–21:09 – Nadia's "Personal Olympics": Gymnastics Season Starts21:09–22:42 – What Makes It Fun: Team, Leadership, and Rewriting the Story22:42–23:49 – Galentine's Plans and Season Well-Wishes

What happens when a personal trainer loses the ability to walk and discovers a power she never knew existed? In episode 248 of Joy Found Here, Isabelle Daikeler shares how spending over a decade unable to move without pain after giving birth forced her into complete surrender. That breaking point became her awakening—when her body began moving on its own for three days, when channeling started, and when she discovered what she calls our "third limb": an aspect of ourselves we've all forgotten we have.In This Episode, You Will Learn:(04:59) From Skeptic to Healer(07:18) The Car Crash That Changed Everything(10:30) Discovering Adaptogenic Medicine(15:13) Giving Birth and Losing Mobility(17:10) The Prayer of Surrender(22:00) Three Days of Somatic Unwinding(24:30) Discovering the "Third Limb"(30:44) Living with Inner Guidance(34:08) Your Body's Ancestral Wisdom(39:37) Inside the Harmonic Egg(44:48) Why Knowing is FreedomAs the founder of Authenticity – The Malibu Sound & Light Healing Center, Isabelle Daikeler guides individuals toward inner alignment through intuitive channeling and the revolutionary Harmonic Egg chamber. Her journey into this work wasn't sought—it found her. After giving birth to her son seventeen years ago, she spent over a decade unable to walk, stripped of her identity as a strong, athletic personal trainer. Broken and surrendering in prayer on the floor of her Kauai home, her connection to divine guidance—what she calls her third "limb"—awakened through three days of involuntary somatic unwinding and the beginning of channeling. Her devastating loss became the doorway to a different kind of strength: one built from the inside out.In this episode, Isabelle shares why surrender is the most essential step in healing, how our bodies hold ancestral wisdom and current-life lessons in every moment, and why the negative emotions we resist are actually our greatest teachers. She introduces the Harmonic Egg—a sacred geometry chamber using personalized sound and light frequencies to reset the nervous system and shift us from reactive to responsive. Whether you've spent years searching for answers or you're carrying pain that won't let go, Isabelle's message is clear: the wisdom you need is already within you, accessible here and now, and knowing—truly knowing—is the gateway to freedom.Connect with Isabelle Daikeler:WebsiteInstagramFacebookLet's Connect:WebsiteInstagram Hosted on Acast.

In this episode, I talk with internationally renowned intuitive healer and spiritual teacher Inna Segal, whose groundbreaking work has touched thousands seeking deeper understanding of the mind-body-spirit connection. Drawing from the core teachings of her bestselling book The Secret Language of Your Body: The Essential Guide to Health and Wellness, Inna reveals how our physical symptoms often carry hidden emotional, mental, and energetic messages - and how learning to “listen” to the body can unlock profound healing and transformation.We begin with Inna's personal awakening story, exploring the life challenges that catalyzed her expanded consciousness and set her on the path to becoming the healer she is today. From there, the conversation opens into the deeper terrain of spiritual ancestry and how inherited energetic patterns can influence physical health across generations. We discuss how trauma shapes the body's language, why symptoms can act as signposts for unresolved emotional states, and how communicating directly with body consciousness can become a powerful tool for self-healing.Inna shares her perspective on the extraordinary role perception and mental focus play in shaping physical reality, pointing to the profound relationship between thought, belief, and biological expression. The dialogue evolves into a broader exploration of spiritual and life evolution, including what she understands as Christ Consciousness and the subtle yet constant presence of angelic guidance in everyday life.We also venture into more esoteric territory, touching on the influence of Rudolf Steiner's philosophy on her worldview, the concept of archons, and the larger energetic dynamics that may be at play behind human experience. Throughout the episode, Inna offers insights that bridge intuitive healing, psychology, and spiritual development, presenting a holistic framework for understanding illness, consciousness, and the journey of the soul.

How stress, emotional disconnection, and overwhelm impact intimacy (and what to do about it) If you've ever thought… “I love my partner, but I just don't want sex.” “By the end of the day I'm touched out.” “I feel guilty that I'm never in the mood.” “Something feels off… but I don't know what.” This episode is for you. Low desire isn't always hormonal. It's not always about attraction. And it's definitely not because you're broken. More often than not, it's about mental load, nervous system overwhelm, and emotional disconnection. In today's episode, we're unpacking the invisible weight women carry — and how that weight directly impacts pelvic floor tension, arousal, pain with intercourse, and overall intimacy. Because desire doesn't disappear randomly. It gets crowded out. In This Episode, We Cover: What the “mental load” actually is — and why it's exhausting your nervous system How chronic stress increases pelvic floor tension and guarding Why feeling unsupported during the day shows up in the bedroom The connection between cortisol, safety, and arousal How resentment and emotional disconnection subtly affect your body The “Mental Load → Guarding → Guilt” cycle many women are stuck in Simple ways to rebuild emotional intimacy without pressure or performance Why This Matters for Pelvic Health Your pelvic floor does not exist in isolation. When you're in fight-or-flight all day — planning, managing, caretaking, carrying the emotional labor of your home — your body does not magically flip into relaxation mode at night. Arousal requires parasympathetic safety. Pleasure requires softness. Connection requires nervous system regulation. You cannot feel open in a body that feels responsible for everything. Practical Ways to Bridge Emotional Intimacy We discuss: ✔️ Reducing the invisible labor load ✔️ Non-sexual connection rituals ✔️ Regulating your nervous system before initiating intimacy ✔️ Expanding your definition of intimacy beyond performance ✔️ Creating safety in micro-moments, not grand gestures Because foreplay doesn't start in the bedroom. It starts in how supported you felt all day. Want a Structured Way to Rebuild Safety in Your Body?

Creativity through the lens of a best selling author and intuitive healer"It's all about allowing new ideas, new perspective, new colors come into my mind."Inna Segal is a pioneer in the field of energy medicine and human consciousness, and the bestselling author of The Secret Language of Your Body, translated into 26 languages and sold over a million copies worldwide. Inna's journey began as a young immigrant from Belarus, arriving in Australia at age nine without a word of English. The cultural dislocation, bullying, and emotional isolation soon manifested physically—psoriasis, digestive pain, chronic back issues, and anxiety. By 15, Inna was living in a body that felt unsafe and overwhelmed. Despite seeing multiple practitioners, nothing truly changed.At age 20, she experienced the stillbirth of her baby—an unexpected and devastating loss. In the weeks that followed, Inna spiraled into physical agony, emotional collapse, and profound hopelessness. After being told by a chiropractor that her body "wanted to be stuck," she reached a breaking point—and made a decision to try to heal herself.That night, she placed her hands on her back, began to breathe with the pain, and asked for help from something greater. With her eyes closed, she saw a golden light and a vision of her own spine. What followed was a spontaneous stream of memories and insights: from early childhood trauma, to ancestral grief passed down from her grandmother, to energetic patterns she had absorbed from others. The next day, 70% of her pain was gone. Within weeks, her skin cleared, her digestion healed, and her anxiety lifted.This was the beginning of her life's work.

Stacy Scarcella, a former corporate executive, transitioned to a creative entrepreneur after 13 years in fashion, advertising, and technology. Diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome at 25, she faced significant challenges, including legal blindness and potential infertility. Despite a grim prognosis, Stacy pursued self-care, research, and adaptive activities like Zumba and yoga. She emphasized the importance of self-advocacy and resilience. Stacy also works in mental health advocacy, particularly for adolescents, highlighting the need for early intervention and support. Her journey underscores the value of creativity, freedom, and positivity in overcoming health challenges. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/stacy-scarcella    Highlights from today's episode include:  Be your own health advocate and move one step at a time: When she was diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome at 25 with a very grim prognosis, Stacy chose not to stay stuck in fear. She did her own research, sought multiple opinions, adjusted her lifestyle, and focused on "What can I do right now and one minute forward?" rather than catastrophizing the future. Create freedom and possibility by redefining your path: Leaving a "boxed-in" corporate career, Stacy built Plaid Pony Productions around freedom: choosing diverse projects, not being tied to one creative partner, and continually pivoting (Zumba, yoga, events, mental health advocacy). Her core mindset  Bedside manner and medical 'fashion' can shape a patient's fate:  Manon highlights how the way a diagnosis is delivered can deeply harm or help a patient. She compares it to her own experience of being told she "needed" a C‑section because of narrow hips, only to safely have a home vaginal birth after seeking many opinions. She stresses that practitioners must be conscious of their language and the current "fashion" in medicine, because patients often meet a diagnosis first as doom and gloom, with very little visible information about alternatives, self-care, and hopeful possibilities.   ABOUT STACY SCARSELLA: For more than two decades, Stacy Scarsella has built a career defined by vision, resilience, and reinvention. A former corporate executive turned creative entrepreneur, Stacy spent over 15 years climbing the ranks in fashion, advertising, and technology working with industry giants such as Armani, Macy's, Talbots, TJX Companies, and Bose. Her career trajectory pointed toward becoming a CMO, but the demands of corporate life, constant travel, long hours, and lack of fulfillment sparked a personal reckoning. In 2015, following a season marked by profound loss and transformation, Stacy traded boardrooms for the beaches of Los Angeles, where a moment of clarity reshaped her entire future. That clarity became Plaid Pony Productions, a full-service production company known for its storytelling integrity, cinematic creativity, and world-class brand activations. From major commercial campaigns to experiential events, Stacy leads her team in producing standout work for global names including Disney, AT&T, and other Fortune 500 companies. Known for her strategic foresight and innate ability to forecast industry shifts, she's built a business that blends artistry with operational precision delivering results that can't be replicated by automation or artificial intelligence. But Stacy's story runs deeper than her professional accomplishments. Diagnosed with Marfan Syndrome at 25 and told she might never have children or live past 40, she defied every prediction. Today, at 43, she's a mother of two, a mentor, and a passionate advocate for mental health awareness and suicide prevention causes close to her heart following the loss of her best friend. Her philosophy, "Why not?", defines her approach to both business and life: embracing creativity, curiosity, and courage in the face of uncertainty. Beyond the studio, Stacy is a creative force in every sense an artist, yoga enthusiast, avid gardener, and dual citizen of Italy who finds joy in simple rituals like family dinners and dancing in the kitchen. Through speaking, consulting, and community initiatives, she now helps others humanize their brands in the age of AI, teaching entrepreneurs how to connect authentically and lead with purpose. Her work, both on and off the set, is a testament to her greatest belief: that success is not about control it's about creating a life that feels deeply alive. Core purpose/passion: My philosophy is: "Why not?", and it defines my approach to both business and life: embracing creativity, curiosity, and courage in the face of uncertainty. –  Facebook  |  Website | LinkedIn | Instagram - Stacy | Instagram - PladPony ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, RBHT, FCAH: As a retired Naturopath 1992-2021, I saw an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to Cedric Bertelli, founder of the Emotional Health Institute, discusses his methodology, Emotional Resolution (EMRS), which addresses emotional imprints through somatic neuroscience. Inspired by his grandfather's resilience post-WWII, Cedric developed EMRS to help individuals resolve emotional patterns by feeling physical sensations without control. He explains that the brain predicts emotions based on past experiences, often rooted in trauma, and EMRS allows these predictions to play out naturally, updating the brain's response.   For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/cedric-bertelli    Highlights from today's episode include:  Emotions are outdated predictions: Debilitating emotions are often outdated predictions from the brain, triggered when current stimuli resemble elements from past traumatic moments. The body then recreates old physical sensations (interoception), even when they're no longer relevant. Resolution by fully feeling sensations (90 seconds) : If a person can safely stay with the raw physical sensations of an emotion—without trying to regulate, fix, or control them—the interoceptive wave naturally completes within about 30–90 seconds, and the brain updates its prediction, so the same stimulus no longer triggers that reaction. Stop building stories; stay with the body: Manon emphasizes the importance of not creating or feeding mental stories about what we feel. By witnessing the emotion innocently and staying with the body's sensations rather than the narrative, we allow real resolution instead of reinforcing the pattern.   ABOUT CEDRIC BERTELLI: Cedric Bertelli is the founder of the Emotional Health Institute and co-developer of Emotional Resolution® & EmRes®, a somatic, neuroscience-based approach for resolving emotional imprints. Before dedicating himself to emotional health, Cedric spent more than a decade in the hospitality industry, including leadership roles with The Ritz-Carlton Hotel Company, where he developed a deep understanding of human behavior and service. Over the past 15 years, he has trained practitioners across the world, guided thousands of clients, and partnered with researchers at UCLA and UCSF to advance the scientific foundations of EmRes. His work focuses on making emotional healing simple, effective, and accessible so people can live with greater clarity, ease, and resilience. Core purpose/passion: My core purpose is to help people reconnect with their natural capacity to resolve emotional pain. Not to manage it, not to suppress it, and not to build workarounds around it — but to truly resolve it at the physiological level so they can live with more freedom, presence, and ease. –  Facebook |  Instagram |  Website | LinkedIn | YouTube |   ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, RBHT, FCAH: As a retired Naturopath 1992-2021, I saw an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

In today's episode of Health Youniversity, we're exploring one of the most empowering decisions women can make for their reproductive future: fertility preservation through egg freezing.Join Dr. Susan as she sits down with Dr. Jamie Knopman, board-certified reproductive endocrinologist and co-author of the upcoming book "Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy, How to Take Charge of Your Body and Your Future." Dr. Knopman serves as Director of Fertility Preservation for CCRM Fertility of New York and is a leading advocate for women's reproductive health education.Dr. Knopman shares why egg freezing is "the new sunscreen"—a preventative measure that gives women control over their reproductive timeline. She explains the ideal age to freeze eggs (hint: it's younger than you think), debunks common myths about the birth control pill and fertility, and reveals how the vitrification process has revolutionized success rates since 2011.This conversation covers the complete egg freezing process from start to finish, the recovery timeline, how employee benefits are changing to support fertility preservation, and why reproductive health education should start as early as high school. Dr. Knopman also discusses fertility planning for LGBTQ+ couples, the importance of understanding your menstrual cycle, and how egg freezing fits into the broader picture of reproductive rights and body autonomy.This episode is for you if if you're in your 20s or early 30s planning your career and future family, considering egg freezing but unsure where to start, working in HR and evaluating fertility benefits for employees, part of the LGBTQ+ community exploring family-building options, a parent wanting to educate your daughters about reproductive health, or a healthcare professional seeking to better counsel patients on fertility preservation.Pre-order "Own Your Fertility: From Egg Freezing to Surrogacy, How to Take Charge of Your Body and Your Future" Available on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Own-Your-Fertility-Freezing-Surrogacy/dp/1324111488] Barnes & Noble: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/own-your-fertility-jaime-knopman/1147402776 Audible:

In this soul-stirring episode of The Feminine Frequency, Amy Natalie sits down with Jen Aks, an embodied leadership coach and author of the transformative book, Your Body is Speaking. Together, they explore the profound shift from living exclusively "from the neck up" to reclaiming the intuitive intelligence of the entire physical form.Jen shares her powerful journey of overcoming a decade of misalignment—moving from a state of frozen insecurity to discovering "Body-Set," a practice that prioritizes somatic wisdom over logical overthinking. The conversation dives into Jen's signature methodology, The Power of Gesture, revealing how simple hand movements can communicate directly with the brain to regulate the nervous system and unlock authentic expression. This episode is a call to action for every woman to stop bypassing her truth and start leading from a place of deep, embodied trust.Themes: Real alignment happens when you stop overthinking and start integrating the body's deep wisdom.Your hands are a direct neurological portal from anxiety to safety and clarity.Reclaiming your brilliance by embracing emotional and kinesthetic wisdom over societal boxes.Build radical self-trust by giving every internal emotion a voice instead of gaslighting yourself.True leadership is the ability to guide others through the safety and authenticity of your own presence.Your unique energetic resonance is the one thing AI can never replicate.Somatic tools allow you to bypass "fight or flight" and return to empowered action.

What if your body has been trying to tell you something all along—and you just didn't know how to listen? Twenty-five years ago, Inna was trapped in chronic pain. Psoriasis covered her body. She could barely walk due to back issues. She struggled with anxiety, depression, and digestive problems. She was stuck in the medical system, being told her conditions were genetic and permanent, taking medications that didn't work. Then, at age 20, she lost her baby. And in the depths of that grief and physical agony, one statement from her chiropractor changed everything: "Your body wants to be stuck." That single sentence—which initially enraged her—became the doorway to her awakening. Because it made her realize: if her body WANTS something, it has intelligence. It has language. It's trying to communicate. That night, she placed her hands on her back, breathed, and asked a simple question: "What does my back look like? Why am I in pain?" What happened next awakened an ability that would eventually help tens of thousands of people across the globe. She could suddenly SEE inside her body. She understood the emotional, psychological, and ancestral patterns creating her physical symptoms. And within three weeks, she healed conditions she'd been told were permanent. In this deeply moving conversation, we explore: The Journey to Awakening Inna shares her full story—from growing up in Belarus and being raised to believe doctors were half-gods, to moving to Australia and being bullied, to the pregnancy and loss that became her breaking point, to the moment she took radical responsibility for her own healing and everything changed. How Medical Intuition Actually Works Inna explains how she learned to see into people's energy fields and bodies—from the first time she saw a cartoon liver above her friend's head, to working with a medical doctor who had her place acupuncture needles based on what she was seeing, to learning how to turn the ability on and off so she didn't go insane. The Logic of the Body This is one of my favorite parts of our conversation. Inna breaks down why the body is completely logical—not random, not punishing, but communicating with incredible intelligence. Every symptom has layers of meaning. Every disease has a story. And when you understand the logic, you can begin to heal. What Your Symptoms Are Really Telling You We dive deep into specific body parts and systems: Why your immune system breaks down (insecurity, inner conflict, self-neglect, stress, not being able to say no) What back pain is really about (lack of support—both emotional AND financial) Why skin issues appear (not feeling safe, not belonging, ancestral trauma) How your digestive system holds loss and grief The Power of Color Healing Inna teaches how color is directly connected to emotion, and how you can use color intentionally every single day to shift your state. She shares stories of using pink light for protection, green for manifestation, and how wearing different colors changes how you feel, think, and show up in the world. Taking Radical Responsibility We discuss what it really means to move from being a victim of your body to being the healer of your body. This isn't about blaming yourself for illness—it's about recognizing that you have power, intelligence, and the ability to participate in your own healing. Ancestral Trauma in the Body Inna explains how family patterns and generational trauma show up in your physical body—in your digestive system, your immune response, your nervous system. She shares her own story of recognizing her grandmother's trauma living in her body. Practical Self-Healing Techniques Throughout the conversation, Inna shares tangible practices you can use immediately—from breathing into pain, to asking your body questions, to using color intentionally, to working with pressure points and movement. The Difference Between Caring and Carrying One insight that really struck me was Ina's distinction between caring for people and carrying them. This is huge for healers, coaches, yoga teachers, and anyone in helping professions. Why Healing Pulls You Toward Knowing Yourself Ina's closing wisdom is so powerful: "Healing always pulls you toward knowing you. You cannot heal without self-knowledge. The more you dive in, the more you realize what a layered person you are and how beautifully colorful and complex you are on the soul level." This episode is for anyone dealing with chronic health issues, anyone who feels stuck in their body, healers and coaches who want to understand the deeper layers of what's happening with their clients, yoga teachers, energy workers, bodyworkers, and anyone curious about the profound intelligence of the body.

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, speaks to Ken Blackman who discusses the dynamics of breakups, highlighting that anxiously attached individuals often initiate them. Blackman advocates for building relationships that provide mutual support, especially during challenging times, to foster long-term happiness and health. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/ken-blackman    Highlights from today's episode include:  Ken explains Chemistry vs. intimacy: A great relationship needs both spark and the safety to be fully yourself, not constantly "protecting the vibe." Ken explains Healthy breakup: A loving split sounds like "I see you, I get what you need, it's valid—but it's outside my range," with mutual respect, grief, and relief. Manon explains Real freedom: What feels most free is not many partners, but being completely yourself—"weirdness" and all—with one person who truly gets you.   ABOUT KEN BLACKMAN: A former Apple engineer turned relationship mindset coach and intimacy educator, Ken Blackman is currently celebrating his 25th year helping couples co-create a thriving, fulfilling life partnership and a gourmet love life. His work has garnered mentions in Business Insider, Playboy, Tim Ferriss's 4-Hour series, Cosmopolitan, and elsewhere. He's a regular featured contributor to The Good Men Project, Better Humans, and his own Medium publication, The Craft of Intimate Coupledom. Core purpose/passion: I think my superpower as a relationship coach is to be a translator and help them see and understand each other. I tend to listen and ask, listen and ask, until I feel like I see the world through one partner's eyes. Then I do the same with the other partner, listen and ask until I see the world through their eyes. Then I help them see each other. Sometimes translation; is just saying to one partner exactly what I heard the other say, but as though I'm speaking to the most important, honorable person in the world, whom I have the highest regard for. –  Facebook |  Instagram |  Medium  |  Website |  BlueSky | Threads    ABOUT MANON BOLLIGER, RBHT, FCAH: As a retired Naturopath 1992-2021, I saw an average of 150 patients per week and have helped people ranging from rural farmers in Nova Scotia to stressed out CEOs in Toronto to tri-athletes here in Vancouver.

Read Online“Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you testified, here he is baptizing and everyone is coming to him.” John answered and said, “No one can receive anything except what has been given from heaven. You yourselves can testify that I said that I am not the Christ, but that I was sent before him. The one who has the bride is the bridegroom; the best man, who stands and listens for him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. So this joy of mine has been made complete. He must increase; I must decrease.” John 3:26–30John the Baptist's words are filled with humility and truth. Imagine the scene. John had acquired quite a following. His ministry was flourishing, and many people were coming to him to receive his baptism of repentance. Then, suddenly, Jesus appeared and began to gather His own followers, including some of John's disciples.Human weakness and sin led some of John's remaining disciples to feel envious and jealous as Jesus' ministry grew. They perceived Jesus' success as surpassing their own, leading them to desire what Jesus and His disciples had and feel discontented with their own circumstances. They were also jealous of the potential loss of their status within what seemed to be John's diminishing ministry.John, however, felt no envy or jealousy. He rejoiced greatly at Jesus' arrival because he knew that his ministry existed solely to point people to Jesus. The fulfillment of John's ministry was, in fact, its completion, as it gave way to the establishment and growth of Jesus' ministry. His final words to his disciples must continuously echo within our own minds and hearts: “He must increase; I must decrease.”We can apply John's humble words to our own souls by acknowledging that every good thing in our lives is a gift from God, not the result of our own efforts. For this reason, God's influence in our lives must increase while our control decreases. This is humbling because the closer we become united to Christ, the less we can take credit for our own actions. If God uses us, He deserves the glory, not us. Envy may tempt us to take credit for our own goodness and to feel discontent when others do not praise us. Jealousy may tempt us to hold on to self-righteousness, honors, and spiritual consolations when we are called to live more sacrificially and selflessly.Like John, as our Lord increases within us, exercising His sacred ministry within our souls, we must see ourselves as the best man at a wedding, rejoicing that the Groom has arrived, and pointing only to Him, rather than to ourselves. Just as John's mission was to prepare the way for Christ and then step aside, our efforts at conversion and repentance should culminate in Christ taking over. We must become His Body: His hands, His feet, and His heart. He must take over, and our will must become His will; our charity, His charity; our lives, His life. With Saint Paul, we must long for the day when we can cry out, “I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me…” (Galatians 2:20). Reflect today on the conclusion of John's ministry as the beginning of Jesus' ministry. See John's decrease and Christ's increase as a model for your own soul. Consider all the effort you have put into repenting, turning from sin, and turning to God. See that effort as preparation for Jesus to take over. Let Him take over, and give Him all the credit and glory. Pray that He increases in your life to the point that it is no longer you who lives, but Christ Who lives in you. My transforming Lord, You invite me to embrace the humility of Saint John the Baptist so that my human effort, my actions, and all that I am will diminish as You take over my life. Please humble me, Lord, and transform me, making me into Your Body in the world. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Master of the Life of Saint John the Baptist, RiminiDaderot, CC0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2026 My Catholic Life!

The new year began with a successful U.S. military operation to capture Venezuela's president. But the mission killed approximately 80 people and is being condemned by some American and international leaders as illegal. Esau McCaulley joins Phil and Skye this week to discuss the fallout from the operation. Was it legal? Was it moral? And what does it reveal about Trump's vision of America? Kaitlyn talks with author Sara Billups about her new book, "Nervous System," and how our age of anxiety is affecting Christians and the whole church. Also this week—the Trump administration celebrated the holidays with Christian memes, festive taunts, and "Ice Ice Baby."   Holy Post Plus: Ad-Free Version of this Episode: https://www.patreon.com/posts/147587950/   Bonus Interview with Sarah Billups: https://www.patreon.com/posts/147498089/   0:00 - Show Starts   2:52 - Theme Song   3:13 - Sponsor - BetterHelp - This episode is sponsored by BetterHelp.
