    Beyond Survival Mode: Healing Patterns That Drive Stress, Reactivity, and Burnout with Mitchell Weisburgh

    High performers are often praised for their composure — even while their nervous systems are running in survival mode behind the scenes. In this episode, Mitchell Weisburgh joins Melissa Brunetti to explore how chronic stress and reactivity shape leadership, decision-making, and relationships — and what it takes to retrain the brain for calm, clarity, and collaboration. Rather than relying on mindset tricks or willpower, this conversation looks at nervous-system patterns, emotional regulation, and practical ways leaders can respond instead of react. In this episode, you’ll learn: • What “emotional survival mode” actually looks like in everyday leadership • How chronic stress quietly hijacks decision-making and relationships • Why resilience, creativity, and collaboration are trainable skills • The difference between mindset hacks and nervous-system retraining • How survival mode impacts communication at work and at home • Simple ways leaders can interrupt reactivity without slowing down • How teams get stuck in collective survival mode — and how to shift it • Where to start if you’re successful but chronically taxed WHERE TO FIND MITCHELL WEISBURGH: Website: https://www.mindshiftingwithmitch.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weisburghm/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mweisburgh/ Books: MindShifting: Stop Your Brain from Sabotaging Your Happiness and Success https://a.co/d/242NDWd MindShifting: Conflict and Collaboration Courses: https://events.humanitix.com/host/mitchell-weisburgh FIND MELISSA: https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com https://www.mindyourownkarma.com emailto:mindyourownkarma@gmail.com MYOK on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠⁠ #MindYourOwnKarma #SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #MitchellWeisburgh #NervousSystem #EmotionalRegulation #BurnoutRecovery #StressManagement #CalmLeadership #HighPerformers #LeadershipDevelopment #TraumaInformedLeadership #Resilience #SelfAwareness #EmotionalIntelligence #Neuroscience #Psychology #WorkplaceWellbeing #Collaboration #sustainablesuccess

    Breaking the Burnout Cycle: How Hypnotherapy Can Help High Achievers Heal, with Garrett Wood

    Burnout isn’t just about working too much, it’s about living in survival mode for too long. In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, I sit down with clinical hypnotherapist and somatic regulation coach Garrett Wood. Garrett helps high-achieving, high-masking professionals break free from the boom-and-bust cycle of burnout by integrating subconscious reprogramming, sensory intelligence, and body-based tools. We explore the real science behind hypnotherapy, the myths that keep people skeptical, and how automatic stress responses can be updated in real time. Garrett also shares how his work helps clients align health, wealth, and relationships without burning out in the process.

    Regenerative Medicine for Chronic Pain After 50: Healing Without Surgery or Meds with Dr. Fawad Mian

    In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma – Beyond theBandage, I sit down with Dr. Fawad Mian, a board-certifiedneurologist, regenerative medicine specialist, and founder of Vitality Integrative Wellness, to challenge one of the most common narratives around aging and pain—that chronic pain after 50 is inevitable and must be managed with medications or surgery.   After experiencing multiple injuries himself and being toldthose were his only options, Dr. Mian chose a different path. Through regenerative therapies like PRP and stem cells, combined with detailed diagnostics and a unique approach to re-movement, he healed his own body—and built a practice centered on helping others do the same.   This conversation is for anyone who feels dismissed, rushed,or stuck in the cycle of symptom management. We talk about why pain becomes chronic, what’s often missed in traditional care, and how the body’s capacity to heal doesn’t simply disappear with age. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why chronic pain is not “just part of getting older”How regenerative medicine works at the tissue and nervous system level What PRP and stem cell therapies actually do inside the body How Dr. Mian evaluates the root cause of pain, not just where it hurts What re-movement is and why exercise alone often isn’t enough How to know if regenerative medicine may be right for you The questions to ask so you can make informed, confident decisions Why hope and healing are still possible well beyond 50 Where to find Dr. Fawad Mian: Website: https://prolohealing.com/ Website: https://www.advocareneurowellnessmd.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@prolohealing LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fawad-mian-40aaaa150/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prolohealingmedspa/ Book: Getting to Pain Free: How to Make Your Body Stop Hurting So You Can Start Living Without Drugs or Surgery https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D46W27T5 FIND MELISSA ON WEBSITES: ⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠ ⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠ ON SOCIALS MYOK on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠ This episode is for educational purposes only and is notintended as medical advice. #MindYourOwnKarma #SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #RegenerativeMedicine #ChronicPainRecovery #StemCellTherapy #PRPTherapy #NeurologyMeetsHealing #HealingWithoutMeds #MovementReeducation #PainFreeLiving #Over50AndThriving#AlternativeHealingModalities #RootCauseHealing #HighPerformanceHealing #HolisticNeurology #DrFawadMian #MindBodyMedicine #PainIsNotYourNormal #ChronicPain

    Beyond the Needle: How Chinese Energetic Medicine Heals Body, Mind, and Spirit with Jose Mendoza

    In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, Melissa sits down with Jose Mendoza, a Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine, who began his career as a cardiovascular specialist before realizing that true healing required more than procedures and prescriptions. Jose shares how Chinese Energetic Medicine treats the whole person — physical, energetic, and spiritual — helping clients release trauma, dissolve old patterns, and reconnect with who they really are. You’ll discover: • How Chinese Energetic Medicine differs from acupuncture, reiki, and other modalities. • Why true healing requires addressing body, energy, and spirit together. • How this work helps release trauma and transform old patterns at the root. • Whether Chinese Energetic Medicine can be done remotely-or only in person. • What it means to remove “blockages” to health and authenticity. • Jose’s journey from hospital procedures to holistic transformation.

    What if your life isn’t broken, it’s just built on a story that’s ready to be rewritten? In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, Melissa sits down with bestselling author and narrative coach Carrie KC West to explore how the stories we inherit, absorb, and create can either trap us or set us free.

You’ll learn • what “rewriting your story” actually means (and why it’s more than just positive thinking). • how to recognize if you’re living from an old, inherited, or trauma-based narrative. • why the body holds onto painful or outdated stories-and how to release them. • how narrative coaching blends story craft, psychology, and somatic awareness for real change. • a simple story-mapping tool you can use today to find where you’re stuck and what your next chapter could be.
