Healing + Human Potential

What if you could have everything you've ever dreamed of – more impact, more income, more freedom – by actually working less? In this inspiring episode of the "How They Did It" series on The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, we're diving into a powerful real-life story with someone who went from playing small and doubting her worth – to building a six-figure business working just 12 hours a month, all while raising two young kids and living a life filled with spaciousness, love, and purpose. For years, she felt the call to something greater but didn't know how to bridge the gap between her vision and reality. Through deep inner work, mentorship, and learning to take messy, imperfect action, she transformed not just her business, but who she was being at her core. Today, she embodies what it looks like to create success without burnout, hustle, or sacrificing what matters most. We'll explore: ✨ How perfectionism and self-doubt can actually point you to your purpose ✨ The inner healing that made outer success inevitable ✨ How to begin to allow your higher self to lead your life ✨ What it really means to build a business from your essence, not your ego ✨ How to reframe sales as service and build a business WITHOUT social media ✨ & so much more. If you've ever felt like you're meant for something more but haven't been sure how to get there, this conversation will remind you that alignment isn't found through pushing harder – it's found through love, trust, and honoring the call of your heart. ✨Want to go deeper?

What if healing isn't about becoming more, it's about remembering who you already are? In today's episode of The Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Martha Beck for one of the most profound and heart-opening conversations I've had about healing, awakening, and living in truth. Dr. Beck opens up about the out-of-body psychic experience during surgery that became her doorway from trauma and anxiety into joy, peace, and wholeness. She reveals the messages she received from the light of consciousness and so much more. With three degrees from Harvard, she reminds us that true wisdom lives where science meets spirit – in the lived experience of awakening. Together, we explore what it really means to awaken while staying grounded in the body – how to find safety in spirituality after trauma, and why awakening isn't about striving but about releasing what isn't true. We also dive into gentle, trauma-informed entry points to meditation, her framework for dissolving anxiety, the importance of shadow integration, and joy as a spiritual strength. I can't wait to hear how this episode resonates & what opens up for you. === Episode Time Stamps 00:00 – Intro 00:48 – Paranormal experiences, awakening, living beyond anxiety 03:05 – The OR Experience: "I wasn't dead, but I left my body" 06:15 – Communion, joy, and the core messages 09:58 – Waking Up 12:00 – Aftermath: Trauma flashbacks, life upheaval, and the light remains 16:40 – What Science Can / Can't Explain about NDEs 19:30 – Psychic: Remote Viewing Stories during Pregnancy 22:05 – "What if a Critical Mass Awakened?"

If you've ever felt frozen by imposter syndrome, stuck in insecurity, or overwhelmed by the critical voice in your head, this episode is for you. In this solo episode of The Healing & Human Potential Podcast, I'm sharing the exact 4 step process that has helped me and so many of my clients move from self-doubt into authentic confidence. Not the kind that depends on what others think, or on what you achieve, but the kind that's rooted in your truth. This isn't about faking it till you make it or reciting positive affirmations. It's about uncovering the confidence that's already within you, the kind that can't be taken away because it's who you truly are. When you tap into this authentic confidence, you'll stop chasing + start to magnetize the life you truly desire. Together, we'll explore why most confidence advice actually backfires, how to release insecurity from your body, and how to re-parent the parts of you that are still waiting to be validated by others.

Do you struggle with feeling like your happiness lives 'out there' in the future – in the next partner, the next job, the next milestone? In this episode of the Healing + Human Potential Podcast, I sit down with Dr. Judith Joseph, a renowned psychiatrist and researcher, to explore the difference between the happiness we chase and the joy we cultivate. Together, we unpack why so many high performers confuse burnout with depression — and how to rediscover a grounded, internally sourced sense of aliveness. Dr. Joseph shares the subtle signs of high-functioning depression, how unprocessed trauma can hide beneath busyness, and practical ways to reconnect with yourself. You'll learn her Five V's framework — Validate, Vent, Values, Vitals, and Vision — plus the 5-4-3-2-1 sensory practice to return to the present moment and healthy ways to release emotion without "trauma dumping." We also dive into her latest research on joy in the digital age — including why two weeks without a smartphone can lift mood as powerfully as an antidepressant. You'll walk away with simple, science-backed tools to reset your nervous system, protect your mental health, and design your own blueprint for lasting joy and wellbeing. 0:00 – 1:20 Setting the frame: Why we chase happiness externally and how science tallies "points of joy." 1:20 – 3:40 Joy vs. happiness: cultivating an internal resource for resilience (presence over postponement). 3:40 – 6:20 Burnout or depression? The stigma, the "always on" brain, and signs of high-functioning depression. 6:20 – 8:05 Inner restlessness, anhedonia, and why "I can't relax" persists even away from stressors. 8:05 – 10:15 The 5-4-3-2-1 practice: a sensory ritual to reclaim presence (mindful eating, savoring, connection). 10:15 – 12:05 Make it routine: how predictability settles your nervous system (Dr. Judith's coffee ritual). 12:05 – 14:30 "Pathologically productive:" succeeding on paper, suffering in silence — a 2020 wake-up call. 14:30 – 16:35 Why prevention matters: studying high-functioning depression before a full breakdown. 16:35 – 18:30 Not all trauma is "capital-T": neglect, scarcity, and the invisible experiences that shape us. 18:30 – 21:05 Scarcity trauma vs. scarcity mindset: epigenetics, inherited behaviors, and overworking on autopilot. 21:05 – 23:00 Distinguishing love of learning from fear-driven achievement; checking the operating system. 23:00 – 25:10 The Five V's (part 1): Validate (name what's true) and Vent (without trauma dumping). 25:10 – 27:00 Healthy venting: emotional consent, reciprocity, journaling, prayer, and crying (90-second waves). 27:00 – 28:40 The Five V's (part 2): Values—prioritizing the priceless over the performative. 28:40 – 30:35 Collective & vicarious trauma: protecting your brain in a 24/7 news cycle. 30:35 – 32:10 RESET method: Realize, Educate, Strategy, Expectations, Thoughtfulness (boundaries with tech). 32:10 – 34:10 Smartphones & joy: why a "flip-phone fortnight" can feel like an antidepressant (more sleep, nature, connection). 34:10 – 35:10 The self-scrutiny trap: always seeing our own face, rising criticism, and lost social joy. 35:10 – 36:30 Digital age sanity: sleep hygiene, light exposure, and device boundaries that restore your brain. 36:30 – 37:35 "Understand the science of your happiness": mapping your bio-psycho-social fingerprint. 37:35 – 39:00 The Five V's (part 3): Vision—plan your joy and celebrate small wins daily. 39:00 – 40:00 Closing: Joy heals communities; permission to feel good now + where to connect with Dr. Judith. === Want to go deeper on healing trauma?
