    Episode 101: Why You Keep Choosing What You Hate

    Send us Fan Mail You can want peace with your whole heart and still keep choosing chaos. You can crave more time, more space, and better health, then automatically say yes to the very things that burn you out. We get honest about that disconnect and name it for what it is: fighting for what we don’t want, usually because some deeper part of us believes the pattern is protecting us. We unpack why the subconscious mind clings to the familiar, even when the familiar is stressful, emotionally draining, or clearly not aligned with your goals. We talk about the “payoff” that keeps the loop alive, like control, feeling needed, proving your worth, or chasing the comfort of being busy. From there, we shift out of self-blame and into curiosity with a question that changes everything: what is this protecting me from? You’ll leave with practical tools you can use today, especially if you’re in a tough season: one percent shifts instead of all-or-nothing change, tiny mindfulness moments that pull you out of autopilot, a quick gratitude practice, and a simple 60-second way to let emotions move through without feeding the story.  If this hits home, subscribe, share this with a friend who’s stuck in the same loop, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What’s one pattern you’re ready to loosen your grip on? Support the show Follow us on Instagram, leave a review, and share your experiences – we'd love to hear what resonates with you! And don't forget we have a PREMIUM channel as well on Apple! Bonus episodes to help you heal faster. Ready to take your healing journey up a notch? Our new audio course will walk you through the real foundations that have to come first before anything else can stick—awareness, emotions, nervous system regulation, boundaries, and trust. The 1% shift that takes you from zero to one. And from one, everything else becomes possible.

    Episode 100: Emotions Are Messengers

    Send us Fan Mail Your emotions might be sabotaging your health, and not because you “feel too much,” but because you either ignore them or replay them until your body thinks the threat is happening again. We get real about the two common traps we see everywhere: emotional bypassing (stay busy, stay positive, don’t cry) and emotional drowning (rumination, rehearsing, collecting evidence, spiraling). Neither one helps your nervous system feel safe, and when your system doesn’t feel safe, your body pays the price.  We break down a simple but powerful idea: emotions are messengers, not managers. They can point to a boundary, a need, or an old wound, but they’re terrible decision-makers. So we talk about how to feel what you feel without letting anger, fear, guilt, or anxiety drive the car. You’ll hear practical emotional regulation tools we actually use, including naming the feeling, getting into the body instead of the story, taking a walk, grounding, and creating a 1% shift toward a better state.  We also go somewhere most conversations miss: positive emotions can flip into stress if you can’t stay with joy long enough to feel safe. If excitement turns into “don’t jinx it,” that’s a nervous system pattern you can change. We close with a “feel it to heal it” mantra and a calming breath practice you can use anytime. If this helped, subscribe, share it with a friend who spirals, and leave a review telling us what tool you’re trying first.

    Episode 99: Stop Being You

    Send us Fan Mail You can journal the dream, visualize the goal, and say the affirmations, then still wake up living the same day. It's not about that. We walk through how identity shift actually works, using real examples from clinical training, career change, and health struggles. If you’re tired, discouraged, or stuck in an “all or nothing” cycle, we share a more realistic path: the 1% move. A two-minute walk. A better breakfast choice. A new way to respond to an email. Small actions done with the identity of a healthier, calmer, more grounded you start to rewire your nervous system and your default patterns. We also talk about why visualization and emotion matter (this is where mindset meets neuroscience), and why action without inner rehearsal can feel like pushing a boulder uphill. Then we take it deeper with frequency and “tuning your channel,” how to stop looping in negative thoughts without denying your real feelings, and why detachment from the outcome keeps you out of the energy of lack.  If this hits home, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s ready for a real shift, and leave a review so more people can find the show.  Support the show Follow us on Instagram, leave a review, and share your experiences – we'd love to hear what resonates with you!

    Episode 98: You Can’t Green-Smoothie Your Way Out Of Stress

    Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Kira sits down with Rachel Feldman to explore why so many high-achieving women feel productive yet deeply unfulfilled—and what it actually takes to heal burnout at the nervous system level. Rachel shares her personal journey from early digestive issues to asthma and eventual burnout, driven by a lifelong need to prove her worth. Hitting a wall forced her to rethink everything she believed about rest, success, and sustainability. Together, they break down the real signs of burnout, numbness, low joy, persistent anxiety, and exhaustion that no amount of sleep seems to fix—and how perfectionism and people-pleasing keep the body stuck in emergency mode. The conversation moves beyond food plans and supplements into regulation-based tools that create lasting change, including EMDR, brainspotting, RTM, acupuncture, breathwork, and intentional micro-pauses throughout the day. Rachel reframes sleep as a non-negotiable boundary rather than something to “earn,” and explains why small, consistent practices build resilience more effectively than pushing through with willpower. They also name the core beliefs that fuel burnout—performing for love and equating worth with output, and offer ways to replace them with self-trust, limits, and nervous system safety. This episode highlights how healing stress patterns doesn’t just change our own lives. It transforms how we parent, lead, and break cycles of anxiety passed down through generations. Rachel also shares how her business evolved toward connection-centered support, helping others grow without burning out. About Rachel: Rachel Feldman is a wellness momma, a former health coach for 5 years, and a business success launch coach with 15 years in the online space. After earning just $13K in her first year, she realized she needed a sustainable strategy and built her business on solid funnels and systems. Within two and a half years, she grew to $72K, and by year three, she broke six figures. Today, she helps coaches build profitable, sustainable online and offline businesses that actually last.

    Episode 97, Throwback: Telepathy and Healing

    Send us Fan Mail In this throwback episode, we talk about the podcast The Telepathy Tapes. This was a top episode with listeners and of course, we are big fans of TTT. We talk about the podcast’s interviews with parents and experts, the moments that hit us emotionally, and why an open mind can be a powerful part of any healing journey.  We also zoom out to the real-life takeaways: the mind is not the same as the brain, and our day-to-day “3D world” may not be the full story. We connect intuition, energy, and frequency to something practical, how you live, how you regulate your nervous system, and how you stop letting ego-driven noise run your life. If you’ve been stuck in survival mode, replaying the past or worrying about the future, this conversation offers a different lens: you’re a soul borrowing a body, and healing starts when you make space for stillness, reflection, and truth.  We get real about boundaries, compassion, and the inner child work that helps old programming loosen its grip. You’ll hear why we believe no practitioner “heals” you from the outside, how to choose action when change is possible, and how to let go when it isn’t without becoming a doormat. If any of this sparks curiosity, listen through with an open mind, then share it with someone who needs a new perspective.

    Episode 96: There Is No Pill For Comparisonitis

    Send us Fan Mail Comparison can look harmless until it starts rewriting your self worth. We’re Denise, a speech language pathologist and self love coach, and Kira, a traditional naturopath and functional nutritionist, and we’re naming the pattern so many of us live in: comparisonitis. It shows up as a quick glance at someone else’s body, business, relationship, money, or healing story, then turns into a spiral of “I’m behind” and “I’m not enough.” We unpack the real danger: you never have the full picture, but your brain will happily fill in the blanks with harsh assumptions. Social media comparison makes it worse by feeding you highlight reels and peak moments while hiding the sacrifices, support, and stress behind the scenes. We talk about the moment comparison crosses the line into judgment, how it can flip into resentment and cruel commentary, and why that energy always comes back to drain you. Then we pivot into what actually helps: using comparison as data instead of a weapon. If you feel envy, we show you how to ask what it’s pointing to, identify what you want for yourself, and make a 1% shift today. Real healing is active, and clarity comes from action, not from scrolling, affirmations, or waiting for the perfect mindset.  Support the show Follow us on Instagram, leave a review, and share your experiences – we'd love to hear what resonates with you!

    Episode 95: Make Lemonade Not Margaritas

    Send us Fan Mail If you’ve ever hit a hard season and immediately felt your brain build a case for why you can’t move forward, you’re not alone, and you’re not broken. We’re Kira and Denise, and we get real about what actually happens when life gets heavy: we blame circumstances, we hunt for proof that the world is against us, and we stand in our own way even harder. Then we shift the question from “who’s at fault?” to “what can I do from here?” because that’s where your power lives. We also talk about a piece people skip all the time: nervous system regulation. Looking inward is valuable, but if you’re overwhelmed, you can’t process clearly. Sometimes the smartest thing you can do is step away to get grounded, not to avoid the truth, but to come back regulated enough to see it. We use a simple analogy from working with kids: no learning happens in a tantrum. The same is true for us when we’re flooded with stress. From there, we dig into “getting comfortable with uncomfortable,” whether that’s putting yourself out there in business, breaking the habit of busyness, or learning to sit still without feeling unsafe. We also name comparisonitis, validate that your hard is still hard even if someone else has it worse, and talk about letting people cope in their own way without judgment. If this resonated, subscribe, share it with a friend who’s in a tough season, and leave a review so more people can find the support they need.

    Episode 94: When You Find A Stack Of Cash In The Bathroom

    Send us Fan Mail You’re on a road trip, you duck into a grocery store restroom, and there it is: a large stack of cash sitting out in the open. No owner. No explanation. Just a split second where your brain spins up a thousand stories and your body chooses before your logic catches up. We walk you through the exact moment it happened to us and why it turned into one of the most revealing conversations we’ve had about integrity, values, and healing in real life. We don’t treat this like a morality play or a “what you should do” lecture. We get honest about how easy it is to form opinions from a distance, how quickly fear and scarcity show up, and why people reach for spiritual bypassing like “the universe sent you money” to justify a decision. We also explore the practical side: consequences, cameras, and what changes when the amount is clearly significant. Then we zoom out to the bigger takeaway: sometimes the real gift isn’t the money, it’s the moment that shows you who you are when no one is watching. From there, we connect the dots to abundance mindset, money stories, and nervous system regulation. When you feel safe in your body, you can respond instead of react and make choices aligned with love over fear. We close with a simple values-based mantra, a calming 4-7-8 breathing practice, and a prompt for you to join the conversation and share what you think happened and what you would do. If this sparked something in you, subscribe, share this with a friend who loves a good ethical dilemma, and leave a review so more people can find the show.
