Dr. Olele is a board-certified psychiatrist and the founder of Genesis Psychiatric Solutions and Genesis TMS and Wellness.

Robin and Dr. Olele talk about his journey expanding clinical practice across the DMV, the science and experience of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), and why proper sleep reigns supreme at the top of physical health. They also dive into internal vs. external accountability styles, the power of core beliefs, deep inner child healing, and what it means to pursue your unique calling with conviction while chronicling your life’s unvarnished journey.

    Breathwork, Psychotherapy, and What Connects Us with Jessica Dibb | The Robin Smith Show #237

    Jessica Dibb joins Robin to explore breathwork, psychotherapy, consciousness, and the ways conscious breathing can connect us with psychological, embodied, relational, and spiritual experience. Jessica is the author of Breathwork and Psychotherapy: Clinical Applications for Healing and Transformation. Her work centers conscious breathing, synthesizing depth psychology, consciousness studies, science, and somatic, emotional, and cognitive energy and wholeness. She advocates for powerful, safe, multi-dimensional Breathwork to access our deepest potential. Jessica is the founder and director of Inspiration Consciousness School, and is the Global Professional Breathwork Alliance founding co-director and ethics chair. Jessica develops innovative processes for embodying wholeness using Breathwork, alongside established and emergent wisdom teachings, to cultivate presence, wisdom, and love throughout our lifespan, in relationship with all life and this breathing planet. Robin and Jessica talk about the relationship between breathwork and psychotherapy, individualized practice, preparation and ethics, expanded states of consciousness, and the connection between breathwork and IFS. They also explore what it might mean to welcome difficult parts into the breath rather than trying to fix them, and Jessica offers a simple experiential practice near the end of the conversation.

    I Have a Monkey Skull in My Office | The Robin Smith Show #236

    Robin rambles about the monkey skull that has been sitting in his office, its mysterious family history, the possibility that it might be cursed, and his eventual attempt to find it a new home. He also catches up on the October breathwork challenge, the Washington Commanders and Capitals, the latest from No Pterodactyls, the ongoing Renaissance Festival ticket saga, and the increasingly ridiculous story of how trying to replace one missing piece from a Martha Stewart desk somehow resulted in three desks.

    What Survives Trauma? | Robert Falconer on Self Unbroken | The Robin Smith Show #235

    Note: This is a wide-ranging and sometimes difficult conversation, including discussion of childhood sexual abuse. Robin welcomes Robert Falconer back to the show to talk about his book, Self Unbroken: The Foundations of Bob’s Healing from Childhood Sexual Abuse. They talk about what it means to remain “unbroken” after profound trauma, the parts of us that protect access to difficult experiences, and a metaphor of an inner library with gatekeepers deciding which books we're ready to open. The conversation wanders through dissociation, memory, shame, spirituality, altered states, the body, relationships, and the strange ways healing can unfold before we have any framework for understanding it. They also get into a difficult question near the end of the conversation: what do you do when someone has memories of possible abuse but isn't sure what actually happened? Bob talks about why he believes we shouldn't automatically validate or deny those memories, and about the importance of therapists doing their own work. Robert Falconer is best known for his extensive involvement with Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy as a practitioner, teacher, and writer.  For the past decade or more, Bob Falconer has devoted himself full-time to IFS work. In that time, he has attended all levels of IFS training offered, and has been at many workshops and events with Richard Schwartz both as assistant and participant. In addition to studying with many of the other senior IFS trainers, he also co-authored a book with Richard Schwartz entitled Many Minds, One Self.  His other books include The Others Within Us, When You're Going Through Hell ...Keep Going, Spirit, and the recently released Self Unbroken: The Foundations of Bob’s Healing from Childhood Sexual Abuse. (July 2026). His focus is now on the study of spiritual presence experiences. https://robertfalconer.us/self-unbroken-book/ -- Get in touch: robinsmithshow@gmail.com Call the hotline: (301) 458-0883 Follow Robin on Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/robinsmith Book an appointment: https://robin-smith.clientsecure.me/request/service Become a supporter on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/therobinsmithshow Got a question?

    What Do We Do With Experiences We Can't Explain? with Chris Hancock | The Robin Smith Show #233

    Chris Hancock joins Robin to explore what happens when experiences don't fit neatly inside the rational frameworks that we use to understand ourselves and the world. They talk about spiritual emergence, skepticism, synchronicity, the limits of conventional therapy, and what happens when those questions become personal during a live IFS demonstration. Chris Hancock is a licensed clinical social worker, therapist, and founder of Therapy Outside the Box. Through a variety of holistic and integrative approaches rooted in connection, clinical and personal experience, Chris incorporates more spiritual practices into his counseling work blending dynamic, relational, intuitive, energetic, transpersonal Internal Family Systems, quasi-shamanic, modern mystical, creative and practical approaches. Chris helps awakening souls discover all parts of Self, heal & release what doesn’t serve, transform breakdowns into breakthroughs, and embody greater wholeness, purpose, vitality, authenticity and awakened empowerment.  Learn more about Chris:  therapyoutsidethebox.com -- Get in touch: robinsmithshow@gmail.com Call the hotline: +1 (301) 458-0883 Follow Robin on Insight Timer: https://insighttimer.com/robinsmith Book an appointment: https://robin-smith.clientsecure.me/request/service Become a supporter on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/therobinsmithshow Got a question?
