    Episode 74: Faith, Sobriety & Surrendering Success | Victoria Washington What if the success you’ve been chasing is actually the thing standing between you and the life you were created for? In this powerful episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohey sits down with Victoria Washington, faith-driven entrepreneur, speaker, and founder of a multi–seven-figure brand, for a deeply honest conversation about faith, surrender, addiction, and the courage to rebuild a life aligned with God. Victoria shares her journey from building a business rooted in New Age doctrines while privately battling alcohol addiction, to a transformational 40-day fast that completely reshaped her identity, faith, and purpose. Now three years sober and fully anchored in her faith, Victoria teaches women around the world how to steward their voices, build wealth with integrity, and let obedience lead their lives and businesses.

    72. Rewire Your Body’s Patterns: The Feldenkrais Method & Mind-Body Awareness | LeAnn Brightwell

    What if the tension you’ve been carrying for decades… isn’t something you have to live with? In this powerful episode of Wisdom Stripes, Meg Tuohey sits down with LeAnn Brightwell — certified Feldenkrais practitioner, somatic movement educator, and one of the final students trained directly by Moshe Feldenkrais himself. At 80 years old, LeAnn moves with strength, flexibility, and vitality that defies conventional aging. In this conversation, she shares how conscious movement, awareness, and nervous system rewiring transformed her life — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Together, they explore: • Why stretching, strength training, and cardio don’t rewire movement patterns • How anxiety and depression can block access to your inner self • What “Awareness Through Movement” actually does to the brain • How slow, non-habitual movement recalibrates tension at a neurological level • Why aging does not have to mean pain, stiffness, or limitation • The surprising link between unconscious patterns and chronic pain LeAnn explains how the Feldenkrais Method works directly with neuromuscular wiring — not just muscles — and why this subtle, powerful work may be the missing piece in modern healing. This is a conversation about embodiment, presence, longevity, and what becomes possible when we truly listen to the body. ⏱ EPISODE CHAPTERS 00:00 – How old patterns pull us back 01:54 – Trusting life and inner guidance 02:38 – Childhood trauma, anger, and emotional healing 05:36 – Remembering dance and past-life memory 11:35 – How to trust your inner knowing 13:22 – Life-changing spiritual awakenings 17:54 – Anxiety as a barrier to the inner self 20:02 – Feldenkrais training and working with neurological patterns 23:25 – Why aging doesn’t have to mean stiffness 26:33 – Rewiring neuromuscular habits 30:16 – Slowing down to access awareness 33:02 – HeartPrint message from Meg 36:24 – Healing Candida, discipline, and nutrition 44:02 – Vitality at 80: strength, flexibility, and longevity 49:54 – The moment tension became visible 53:44 – Why stretching and strength training don’t change wiring 58:10 – Chronic pain and unconscious patterns 59:50 – How to find Feldenkrais classes 1:05:45 – Final wisdom: your intimate journey with life 🎁 WIN A 1:1 SESSION WITH MEG To celebrate the launch of HeartPrint, Meg is giving away a private 30-minute 1:1 session to one reader.
