    Sabrina & Tristan Truscott: The Healing Energy of Unconditional Love

    When martial artist Tristan Truscott collapsed on his dojo floor and couldn't get back up, he had no idea it would be the beginning of a five-year journey that would transform his life - and eventually help thousands heal from chronic pain. In this powerful episode of Brains 'R' Us, host MaryEllen Tribby sits down with Tristan and Sabrina Truscott, co-founders of the Satori Method, to explore their remarkable story of healing, unconditional love, and the ancient practice of Qigong. After two decades of martial arts took its toll on Tristan's body, leaving him bedridden and crawling on bathroom floors, a desperate prayer and an open mind led him to discover the healing power of energy work. Sabrina shares her side of the journey as the caregiver anchor, revealing how five years of supporting Tristan through his darkest moments taught her patience, reframing, and ultimately self-love. Together, they discuss the difference between unconditional love and unconditional like, how perfectionism masks unworthiness, and the moment Tristan made a deal with the divine that changed everything. You'll discover: How to access energy when you feel completely depleted The power of reframing pain and challenges Why unconditional love is a vibrational frequency, not just an emotion How being an "open-minded skeptic" can unlock healing Practical steps to begin connecting with the energy inside you Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, burnout, or simply seeking a deeper connection to your inner power, this conversation offers hope, practical tools, and the reminder that even in our darkest moments, help is available when we ask.

    Should You Kill Your Ego? The "Bad Dog" Inside

    "Only by killing your ego can you achieve enlightenment." That's what the guru said. But is destroying your ego really the path to peace, happiness, and spiritual awakening — or is there a better way? In this thought-provoking episode, Centerpointe's Marc Gilson challenges the popular spiritual notion that the ego is the enemy. Drawing from his own experience at a meditation retreat, the wisdom of 9th-century Zen master Linji Yixuan, and a heartwarming story about a misbehaving terrier named Marty, Marc offers a refreshing new perspective: what if your ego isn't a villain to be vanquished, but a "bad dog" that simply needs training and love? In this episode you'll discover: 🐾 Why traditional spiritual teachings about "ego death" may be missing the bigger picture  🧠 The fascinating "war in your brain" between your limbic system and prefrontal cortex (and what Bill Harris taught us about it)  🧘 How daily meditation literally rewires your brain — calming reactive impulses and strengthening your decision-making center  💡 The difference between an unhealthy, untrained ego and a healthy, actualized one  ✨ How to transform your ego from a saboteur into your most valuable ally If you've ever struggled with self-sabotage, impulsive reactions, or the feeling that your own mind is working against you, this episode will change how you see yourself — and offer a gentler, more practical path to becoming the strongest, healthiest, happiest version of you. Because your ego isn't a bad dog. It just needs a little patience, care, and the right kind of attention. 🎧 Tune in now and learn why training your ego may be the most powerful spiritual practice of all.

    Mind, Body, Spirit: Themiya Rashmin on Building a Global Consciousness Movement at 21

    What happens when a 21-year-old with $200 in his bank account decides to email the owner of a multi-million-dollar personal development company and ask to buy it? 🚀 In this electrifying conversation, MaryEllen Tribby sits down with Themiya Rashmin — the new CEO of Inspire3 (one of Centerpointe's longtime partners in transforming minds) — for a story that proves how fast life can pivot when you stop swimming upstream and start trusting the current. Themiya moved from Sri Lanka to New York at 18 with just $1,500 in his pocket and no safety net. He pivoted through seven failed businesses, hit rock bottom in Sedona just two weeks before everything changed, and then — through a chain of 50 emails that began at 11pm on a sleepless night — found himself running one of the most respected names in the consciousness space. But this isn't a hustle story. It's a story about surrender, intuition, and the difference between knowledge and wisdom. In this episode, you'll discover: 🧠 The mindset shift Themiya calls "delusional optimism" — and why it's the single most underrated tool in personal development  🌊 Why trying to climb upstream against life is the #1 mistake high-achievers make (and what to do instead)  🐦 The bird-and-the-branch analogy that will change how you think about self-trust forever  💡 The six inner pillars Themiya uses daily: self-love, self-worth, self-value, self-accountability, self-compassion, and reclaiming your power  🎯 Why your subconscious — not your conscious mind — is running 90%+ of your life, and the easiest way to rewire it  ⚡ How to train intuition like a muscle (and the surprising daily practice he uses to make business decisions)  🏃 The simple cold-plunge-and-movement protocol that pulled him out of his darkest moment  🌍 The Inspire 3 vision: a global movement built on mind, body, and spirit — and why every dollar funds the raising of human consciousness  💼 The full behind-the-scenes story of "the 50 emails that changed my life" — including the moment the deal almost slipped away Themiya also shares his powerful philosophy: "A fool learns from his own mistakes. A wise man learns from the mistakes of others." It's the principle that took him from studying Einstein and Tesla at age seven to leading a personal development empire before age 22. Whether you're stuck in your head, chasing the wrong path, or sitting on an idea you've been too afraid to act on — this conversation will light a fire under you.  As MaryEllen reminds us: "An idea without action is useless." 🎁 FREE GIFTS FROM THEMIYA: Head to Themiya's Instagram @themiya.rr and tap the link in his bio. You'll find a curated link tree with FREE Inspire3 audios and hypnotherapy recordings designed to help you reprogram your subconscious around the six inner pillars — so you can stop consuming information and start applying it. About our guest: Themiya Rashmin is the CEO of Inspire3, a global personal development company on a mission to impact lives through mind, body, and spirit. He's an entrepreneur, speaker, and student of consciousness who believes one person is an idea, two people is a conversation, and three people is a movement.
