    Diagnosed With Cancer Twice before 21: How One Woman Healed from the Inside Out [VIDEO]

    What does it take to truly heal — not just treat symptoms, but address the whole of who we are? In this episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony Slater and co-host Russell Case sit down with Gena Bradshaw Vitale, a two-time cancer survivor, author, speaker, and founder of Holistic Human Performance. Diagnosed with leukemia as a young child and again facing a cancer scare as a young adult, Gena's journey led her from a conventional exercise-science background into the world of energy medicine, nervous-system regulation, and what she calls the integration piece — the missing link between knowing about wellness and actually living it. She shares the moment her intuition told her to seek a second surgical opinion, the message she received in her car that she'd “write a book one day,” and how she now guides high-achievers and “perfectionists in remission” out of survival mode. Harmony connects Gena's work to her own spinal energetics and elemental embodiment practice, and the three explore the bridge between science and spirituality, the body keeping the score, ancestral patterns, and the profound identity shift of becoming a mother. In this conversation: Why Gena believes science and spirituality are “two sides of the same coin” The five “buckets” of holistic health — mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and the one we forget: energetic How trauma and “survival mode” can quietly shape the body and health Trusting intuition when choosing care — and the second-opinion that changed everything Why health and purpose are directly correlated Motherhood as ego death, rebirth, and a doorway to deeper intuitive gifts The Inner Rejuvenation Codes: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/inner-rejuvenation-codes-mc Join the Lightworker Mastermind:  https://harmonyslater.com/lightworker-mastermind FIND Harmony online: https://harmonyslater.com/ Harmony on IG: https://www.instagram.com/harmonyslaterofficial/ Finding Harmony Podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingharmonypodcast/ FREE Manifestation Activation: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/manifestation-activation

    How Hypnotherapy Helped Me Heal When Doctors Couldn’t | with Peter McLaughlin [VIDEO]

    What if the diagnosis meant to end your life became the very thing that taught you how to live? In this episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Peter McLaughlin, a certified hypnotherapist, life coach, and founder of Blue Sky Hypnosis. After a rare leukemia diagnosis (alongside Lyme disease) in his 40s, Peter was told there was no known cause and no known cure. That moment sent him on a decades-long exploration of the relationship between the mind, the body, and the spirit — and eventually into training as a hypnotist. Today his Blue Sky Hypnosis YouTube channel has reached millions of viewers, with guided tracks spanning past-life regression, inner-child healing, sleep, and more. Together they explore why hypnosis and meditation may produce the same brain states — and what makes hypnotherapy different; how the subconscious mind has no sense of time, so old trauma registers as a present-moment threat; the “invisible arrows” model of carrying unresolved wounds; and how shifting your relationship to the past (from victim to creator) can change the body’s baseline. Peter also shares how his work draws on naturopathy, shamanic journeying, and a deepening Christian faith. Whether you’re curious about the science of the subconscious or looking for a new lens on what healing can look like, this conversation invites you to consider that the doorway to transformation may not be trying harder — but softening, and learning to access the wisdom that’s been within you all along. Content note: This episode includes personal healing claims and discussion of serious illness. It is shared as one person’s lived experience and is not medical advice. In this episode Why hypnosis and meditation can look identical on a brain scan — and the one thing that makes hypnotherapy different The two “wings” of hypnosis: stage entertainment vs. therapeutic work Peter’s story: a leukemia + Lyme diagnosis, a “spiritual two-by-four,” and the decision to heal himself How “The Secret,” synchronicity, and a naturopath shaped his path Why the subconscious mind has no sense of time — and why that matters for trauma The “invisible arrows” model: carrying old wounds in the body Western shamanism, inner-child work, and rescuing lost parts of the self Fight-or-flight vs. rest-and-digest — and resetting the nervous system’s baseline A live demo: how two short phrases shift your physiology in seconds Subliminal media, marketing, and “we’re being hypnotized all the time” From victim to creator: “What if the cloud is a mirror?” Guest bio Peter McLaughlin  is a certified hypnotherapist, life coach, and the founder of Blue Sky Hypnosis. After a leukemia diagnosis forced him to confront his own mortality, he immersed himself in the connection between mind, body, and spirit, ultimately training as a hypnotist with a focus on the medical and therapeutic applications of hypnosis. Over more than two decades he has helped thousands of people uncover and heal the root causes of emotional suffering through hypnotherapy, trauma resolution, regression work, and subconscious reprogramming. His Blue Sky Hypnosis YouTube channel has reached millions of viewers worldwide.

    The Psychedelic Renaissance: What to Know Before You Journey | with Zappy Zapolin

    What if the most important part of a psychedelic experience isn't the journey at all — but what you do when you come home? In this episode, Harmony Slater and co-host Russell Case sit down with Zappy Zapolin, entrepreneur, filmmaker, and founder of Psychedelic Concierge, an educational platform for training facilitators in preparation, holding space, and integration. Zappy directed the documentary The Reality of Truth, which features voices from across the consciousness and wellness world. Together they explore the “psychedelic renaissance” unfolding alongside AI: the difference between substances like ayahuasca, ibogaine, San Pedro, and medically supervised ketamine; why set, setting, and belief shape everything; and why integration may matter more than the experience itself. Harmony and Russell also share, honestly, their own recent first ayahuasca ceremony and what surfaced. This is a frank, adult conversation about consciousness, trauma, addiction recovery, and the ethics of guiding others through altered states. It's offered for reflection and education — not as medical advice, and not as encouragement to use substances that remain illegal in many places. In this episode Why Zappy calls this “the greatest moment in human history” Set, setting, and the role of your worldview in shaping an experience Why integration — not the journey — is where the real work happens The distinct “personalities” of different plant medicines Medically supervised ketamine vs. recreational misuse — and why the distinction matters Holding space ethically: the case for trained facilitators over the “garage shaman” How yoga and meditation relate to (and differ from) plant-medicine work Harmony and Russell's reflections on their own ceremony and the value of preparation Connect & support Guest: Zappy Zapolin — Psychedelic Concierge Support resources: U.S. 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline · SAMHSA National Helpline 1-800-662-4357 The Inner Rejuvenation Codes: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/inner-rejuvenation-codes-mc Join the Lightworker Mastermind:  https://harmonyslater.com/lightworker-mastermind FIND Harmony online: https://harmonyslater.com/ Harmony on IG: https://www.instagram.com/harmonyslaterofficial/ Finding Harmony Podcast on IG: https://www.instagram.com/findingharmonypodcast/ FREE Manifestation Activation: https://harmonyslater.kit.com/manifestation-activation

  7. When Your Guru Is Gone: Grief, Practice, and the Tradition That Remains (Audio)

    16 juni

    When Your Guru Is Gone: Grief, Practice, and the Tradition That Remains (Audio)

    What does it mean to keep practicing after the loss of the teacher who gave you the practice?   In this deeply personal episode, Harmony Slater speaks with Bianca Oliviera — a Brazilian-born Ashtanga teacher now living in Katowice, Poland — about the sudden passing of Sharath Jois, the grief that followed, and how she continues to carry the teachings forward. Bianca was present at the Active Series training in Virginia when Sharath passed, and she shares her firsthand account of that day with honesty, grief, and deep reverence.   This conversation explores what happens to devotion when its outer form disappears — and why the essence of the practice, once received, can never truly be lost.   IN THIS EPISODE: How Bianca discovered yoga in Rio de Janeiro through her grandmother Moving to the U.S., a teaching training scholarship, and the DVD that changed everything First encountering Sharath on the 2013 U.S. tour — and knowing she'd found her teacher Six trips to Mysore, practicing with both Saraswati and Sharath Navigating practice with a young child — and a supportive Polish artist husband Injuries, catching debates, and learning to listen to the body Teaching evening Mysore in Katowice, organizing family-friendly retreats Being present in Virginia for the Active Series launch — and the hike that ended everything The shock, the circle of prayer, the blanket, and the nights no one could sleep Life since Sharath's passing: mixed feelings, shifted priorities, community bonds Impermanence as the ultimate teacher — in practice, in family, and in loss   KEY QUOTES: "Each time I finish, I feel good. Something inside feels better." "He sacrificed so much so I could practice with Sharaji because he knew it was super special and important for me." "Nothing is forever. Not our bodies, not our communities, not our guru, not our practices."   GUEST BIO: BIANCA RAPOSO DE OLIVEIRA is a Brazilian-born Ashtanga yoga teacher based in Katowice, Poland. She discovered yoga in Rio de Janeiro and found Ashtanga after watching the Ashtanga New York DVD during a 200-hour teacher training in North Carolina. She traveled to Mysore approximately six times to practice with Saraswati Jois and Sharath Jois. She now runs an evening Mysore program and teaches online, and organizes yoga retreats with her husband and son Surya.   CONNECT WITH BIANCA: Instagram: @biancayoga Website: ashtangayogakatowice.com   HARMONY IS TEACHING IN PORTUGAL: Agora Lisboa (Lisbon) — June 25–28 Ashtanga House Faro — Five-day immersion in Faro, Portugal – DM Harmony on Instagram @harmonyslaterofficial   SUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: Find Finding Harmony on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and Podbean.
