A Teaspoon of Healing Dawn DiMare

In this episode, I chat with Claire Uncapher, intuitive and transformational life coach. Claire helps people uncover the root causes of their depression and anxiety by helping clients tap into the subconscious mind. Healing the beliefs that cause depression and anxiety can help us step out of the darkness.







Claire shares a little bit about her 28-year journey with depression and anxiety, and how medication and therapy didn’t work for her. She talks about how she helps people access their subconscious mind, so they can examine and release unprocessed traumatic events from their past.







A former mental health nurse, Claire talks about why depression and anxiety show up as symptoms of past, unhealed, traumatic experiences. And how validating people’s experiences and helping them process the trauma, can help them truly heal.







We also chat about the importance of self-acceptance and why it is normal to “backslide” during healing.

My guest on this episode is Dr. Maiysha Clairborne, physician, thought leader, consultant, and trauma-informed communication trainer. Dr. Maiysha is also trained in coaching, hypnosis, and neuro-linguistic programming (NLP).







NLP incorporates spoken and unspoken language to empower people, and examine the “programs” we run in our heads. By helping people tap into their subconscious mind, Dr. Maiysha helps them reframe their mindset and transform their lives by examining what “programs” work for them, and which ones they should remove.







We discuss how finding the source of our limiting beliefs can help us change our thoughts about ourselves and others, release these unhelpful beliefs, and propel us to a more positive direction in our lives. We also discuss tips for building confidence as entrepreneurs, goal-setting, and the importance of community.







The founder of Mind Re-Mapping Co. and a 2022 TEDx Asheville Speaker, Dr. Maiysha is also the co-author of Conscious Anti-Racism. She also helps organizations create a culture of safety, trust, inclusiveness, belonging, and well-being.

On this episode, I am joined by Michel Pascal, meditation teacher and singer. Michel resided at the Kopan Monastery in the Himalayas, where he studied under the late Buddhist master Chepa Dorje Rinpoche before moving to the US. He has written 20 books and, along with the Amity Foundation, created the first meditation program designed to reintegrate “lifers” (people who have spent 15+ years incarcerated) back into society after prison. He has also performed at Carnegie Hall since 2016.







We discuss overthinking, which can lead to burnout, anxiety, depression, and other mental conditions. By calming our mind, we can feel immediately better and reverse the ill effects of overthinking.







Michel details why learning how to quiet and calm our minds helps us to increase our focus and achieve inner peace. He describes the importance of integrating meditation into our daily lives. We often think that meditation is something that should only be done in a peaceful surrounding, but Michel emphasizes why learning how to meditate within stressful situations is essential.

In the latest episode, I am joined by Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD founder of Nutrivore.com and New York Times best-selling author of Nutrivore: The Radical New Science for Getting the Nutrients You Need from the Food You Eat. The Nutrivore database and her educational materials help people create meals with the best foods for their unique lifestyle, using nutrient density and sufficiency as guiding principles.







Dr. Sarah describes how she experienced profound healing via dietary changes and lifestyle modification. We discuss the issue of nutrient deficiency among Americans, and why nutrient density is so important. Dr. Sarah also shares her experience with overly restrictive diets and how she broke free of that mindset.







Her book navigates the world of nutrition, dispels diet myths, and empowers people to embrace a nutrient-focused lifestyle tailored to their unique needs.

This episode is about power of our subconscious mind and how to tap into it to heal our past trauma, help with anxiety, shift our mindsets, and remove blockages to achieving our dreams! I chat with Dr. Tara Perry, clinical hypnotherapist and doctor of acupuncture and Chinese medicine. She has extensive experience helping individuals access their subconscious mind to remove old, unwanted programming and rewrite it.







We chat about the usefulness of meditation to tap into the subconscious. We also discuss how hypnotherapy can help us access our subconscious mind, even deeper than meditation can. Dr. Perry describes the process of hypnosis, dispels myths about it, how patterns become clearer, and how this can help us shift our lives and heal our childhood trauma.

Mindful eating is something I have used with clients and patients, to help them tune into their hunger and fullness cues, heal their relationship with food, manage weight, and help with digestive upsets. So, what exactly is mindful eating?







Mindful eating is not a diet! Mindful eating is about focusing on how to eat, rather than what to eat. Mindful eating is being aware and present when you eat.







Listen to the episode to find out more about mindful eating and how it can help you optimize your digestion, reduce bloating, boost nutrient absorption, manage weight, and heal your relationship with food. Presented by me, Dawn DiMare Thiery, MPH, RD, registered dietitian nutritionist.
