Real, raw conversations from the Soul of a Healer and the Heart of a Renegade. This podcast is for the ones who never quite fit the mould. The entrepreneurs, creatives, healers, coaches, black sheep, trail blazers, and generational pattern changers who reject the notion of building a life that looks good on paper but feels like someone else's. Hosted by Dr. V & Ocean VanOhm, co-creators of Subconscious Imprinting Technique (SIT), founders of ROAR Funnels, and partners in business & life, this podcast explores emotional healing, subconscious patterns, personal transformation, somatic healing, root cause healing, and the psychosomatic, generational, and spiritual roots of chronic symptoms. But this is not just a podcast about healing. It is about the messy, wild, deeply human experience of becoming more of who you actually are. … and building a business that reflects it! Expect transparent conversations about identity, relationships, intuition, money, business, practitioner growth, nervous system patterns, personal development, and what it means to build a life that feels expansive and fully your own. Some episodes will speak directly to practitioners who want to create deeper transformation for their clients and build a practice beyond the treatment room. Others will explore the emotional patterns, inherited beliefs, and subconscious stories that affect all of us. We don't follow the masses. We follow the mission. We don't seek  permission. We trust our intuition.  We don't try to fit in. We're here to lead. Dr. V & Ocean drop f-bombs. They ask the questions nobody else wants to ask. They tell the truth even when it's uncomfortable. They have built a life & their businesses the renegade way.

    Lessons from the Pasture (Translating Trouble's Teachings into Business & Life)

    Episode Summary: Who knew a horse could teach us so much about running a business? It's been just two months since we welcomed Trouble into our lives, and this handsome king has already taught us some pretty unexpected lessons about leadership, relationships, and how we sometimes get in our own damn way. In this episode, we're taking you to the pasture to share how our experiences with Trouble have challenged the way we think about success, boundaries, mentorship, and what it actually means to help someone grow. We talk about the pressure to constantly do more, the uncomfortable patterns we've started recognizing in ourselves, and a few hilarious mistakes that turned into some seriously profound realizations. Because apparently, some of the best business lessons don't come from another course or strategy session. Sometimes they come from a horse who has absolutely no interest in your agenda. Key Takeaways: Slowing down and prioritizing connection can reveal opportunities and lessons we often miss when we're constantly focused on the next achievement.Learning to recognize when enough is enough can change the way we approach success, growth, and fulfillment in business.Investing in experienced mentors can help us avoid costly mistakes, make more intentional decisions, and accelerate our growth.Being a compassionate leader doesn't mean avoiding difficult conversations, especially when clear boundaries and expectations are essential for building trust.Our desire to help, protect, and overgive can sometimes prevent others from developing the confidence and independence they need to succeed.Allowing others to navigate challenges and build their own resilience can be far more empowering than constantly stepping in to solve their problems.

    Redefining "Rich" (Are You Repelling Wealth?)

    “What is rich?” What are your beliefs about being rich? What does it actually mean to be rich? The answers to these questions might be what’s keeping “rich” out of reach. This week's conversation started on an UpROAR coaching call, where Dr. V guided a client back to the moment her belief about money was formed. To her, rich meant everything was easy and you didn't have to do any work. And she didn't want to be perceived as that. So we got curious about where that picture of "rich” people comes from. The Titanic. The front of the plane. The guy in the really bougie car. We even looked up what it takes to land in the top 5% and top 1% of income earners in Canada, and the numbers blew our minds. Then we get tactical, with three steps to define your own version of rich and build an offer that can sustain it. In this episode, we talk about: Dr. V as the subsoma coach inside UpROAR, and why mindset work only goes so farWhy passive income requires active participationWhat Ocean learned from OG marketer Frank Kern about removing the drama from businessThe Titanic, first class, and how the movies taught us to avoid becoming "one of those people"What it takes to be a top income earner in CanadaWhy "it's never enough" until you define what enough isJudgment as separation, and the "I'll have some of that" practiceHow building a team means creating dream jobsThe three steps to define what is rich and build an offer that can sustain itThis episode is for you if: You've looked at someone with money and thought, "Ugh, gross. I don't want to be like one of those people."You're a practitioner who wants a bigger life, a bigger impact, and more money than you can make in one-to-one sessions in the four walls of a treatment roomYou call yourself a procrastinator or a self-sabotager, and you suspect there's a mechanism underneath thatYou're living most of your ideal day and it still doesn't feel like enoughIf this episode resonated, share it with a fellow Renegade.

    What an Exciting Opportunity! (The Art of Navigating Chaos)

    How do you navigate chaos? Start by saying, "What an exciting opportunity!" This time on the podcast, we talk about staying calm when the session, the tech, and the tea all go sideways. We start with Dr. V's free hot seat healing. Over 700 people signed up. Just over a hundred were there for the whole call. In the first session, a woman lay down on the floor to receive, and in came the dog, the cat, and her young daughter. A lot of practitioners would say, let's just end the call and reschedule. Dr. V did the opposite. She got patient, gave the little one a job, and let the room settle. Because, "the more control you try to hold onto something, the more out of control it can get." From there we go all over the map (in true ADHD fashion): three computers failing on masterclass day, a smashed mason jar of green tea, and a micro lesson from the pasture that gave this episode its name. In this episode, we discuss: Dr. V's hot seat healing, and how one woman's trouble sleeping traced back to guilt and age elevenWhy Dr. V stopped trying to control sessions, and how allowance gives her more feedbackHow chaos that's pushed down inside of you keeps magnetizing toward you until you reconcile itData, not drama: free versus paid show-up rates, and why 700-plus signups isn't the real winThe tech chaos that shows up in SIT Certification sessions, and why we built trainings around itWhy synchronicity is "an indication of being connected and in flow"Coaching from a horsemanship woman: anxious horse Trouble and the "What an exciting opportunity!" perspectiveWhat Dr. V learned about anger, and why a stubbed toe now gets the same lineThis episode is for you if: You're a practitioner who gets rocked when a session doesn't go to planTech fails, a spilled drink, or a stubbed toe can blow out your nervous systemYou run free events and want the real real on who actually shows upYou're ready to respond to the energy around you, not react to itIf this episode resonated, share it with a fellow Renegade.

    When the Pain is Actually Emotional: Signs the Body is Holding on

    “It worked for 24 hours. Then it all came back.” If you work on people, you've heard some version of that sentence. If you're the one in pain, you've probably said it. This time on the podcast, we discuss the emotional causes of physical pain, and what happens when the tension, immobility, or chronic pain someone keeps treating is actually "a single emotion that was never fully felt from start to finish." We start with where we are right now…. A live masterclass, UpROAR, SIT Certification enrollment, and the remnants of last September, when we endured and powered through. This year, we're moving through a similar season, but with more awareness. Because the ceiling becomes the floor. That brings us to something we don't think gets talked about enough: the emotional cool down. Your body needs a cool down after a big workout. It needs one after a big event, a launch, or a five-hour masterclass, too. Otherwise the fear, the uncertainty, and the nervousness you compartmentalized just gets stuck. Dr. V shares the story of a woman with a thriving house-cleaning business who came to her in a wrist brace. It looked like a textbook repetitive strain injury. One acupuncture treatment later, the relief lasted about a day. That's when Dr. V knew what was really going on: emotional pain. In this episode, we talk about: Why last September's stress came back like an anniversary, and how we’re working through it this timeHow kettlebells, Turkish getups, pickleball, and dancing built our capacity to hold more in businessThe emotional cool down, and why stress gets stuck in the body without oneThe signs your physical pain is actually emotionalDr. V's wrist-brace story and the grief underneath itSpontaneous emotional release on the treatment table, and why so many practitioners brush it offWhy it's often not the big trauma: Ocean's migraines, childhood moves, and thirty years of back painHow the fake accounts and fake reviews from 2019 increased our capacity for visibilityWhy SIT Certification exists for massage therapists, acupuncturists, osteopaths, psychotherapists, and other practitionersThis episode is for you if: You've had the massage, the needles, or the adjustment, and the pain keeps coming backYou're a practitioner who has always felt like there's something else going on underneath what you're treatingYou've had a client start crying on your table and didn't know what to do nextYou're ready to be the grounded presence that helps people become more of who they're meant to be-- If this episode resonated, share it with a fellow renegade.

    The Power of In-Person Healing: What Happened When SIT Came Back to the Stage

    Originally, we thought we were going to run a 400-person event, bring the SIT Masterclass to the stage, and have the documentary crew capture something big, polished, and public. And then our bodies said absolutely f*****g not. Panic attacks. Crying. Waking up at 2 a.m. The very clear awareness that something about that version was out of alignment. So we pivoted. Instead of forcing the big shiny thing, we brought it back to the people who already live and breathe this work: our SIT practitioners. And once we made that decision, everything went click, click, click. The event sold out. The right people landed in the room. The documentary crew captured something way more potent than what we could have forced. And SIT came back to the stage in a way that felt raw, alive, sacred, hilarious, emotional, and deeply full-circle. In this episode, we talk about: Why we pivoted from a 400-person event to an intimate advanced practitioner immersionThe difference between forcing the plan and following what actually feels alignedWhat happened when SIT came back to the stage in personHow group healing can amplify one person’s process through the support of the whole roomThe wild synchronicities that unfolded during the live demo healingsWhat it felt like to be supported by the team, clients, and documentary crewWhy in-person connection, hugs, tears, dancing, and shared energy hit differently than ZoomThe lesson around fear, contraction, expansion, and doing the thing before you feel fully readyThis convo is for you if: You've ever been in the middle of planning something and realized your body was screaming, “This is not it.”You're learning the difference between fear that asks you to grow and panic that tells you something's out of alignment.You're a practitioner, coach, healer, facilitator, or heart-centered rebel who feels called to bring your work into the room, but you are scared shitless to actually do it.You've been waiting until you feel perfectly ready, perfectly confident, perfectly clear, or perfectly fearless before you move.You need the reminder that sometimes the magic only shows up once you're in motion.You can’t always think your way into the right plan… Sometimes you have to move, listen, pivot, and trust the click, click, click when it comes. -- If this episode resonated, share it with a fellow renegade.

    The Price of Nice: What "Kindness" is Costing You

    What is the price of nice? No, not kindness. Niceness. The kind of nice that says yes when you mean no. The kind of nice that tells someone what they want to hear instead of what's true. The kind of nice that over-gives, over-explains, over-extends, avoids the hard conversation, and slowly drains the life out of you. In this episode, we talk about the difference between being nice and being kind, and why kindness is often much more direct, honest, clear, and loving than niceness ever could be. Because nice might keep someone comfortable in the moment. But kind tells the truth. We talk about the tiny moments where we avoid saying no, the bigger moments where we let something go on for way too long, and the business moments where “being nice” can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, create entitlement, blur standards, and pull you completely out of your magic. We talk about how this shows up for practitioners, coaches, healers, facilitators, leaders, and anyone who holds space for other people. Because when you avoid the truth in the name of being nice, you're not actually creating safety. You're creating confusion. And sometimes, the kindest thing you can do is hold the boundary, protect the container, tell the truth, and stop pretending that self-abandonment is generosity. In this episode, we discuss: The difference between being nice and being kindWhy people-pleasing can cost you time, energy, money, trust, and self-respectThe Mexico timeshare moment that showed the price of politeness in real timeHow practitioners can over-give because they don’t want to cut clients offWhy protecting the container is a loving actHow Dr. V learned to give truthful feedback because she loves her students and wants them to become bulletproof practitionersThe danger of delegating your magic and moving too far away from the work that only you can doThe “week of no” exercise and how practicing no can help you feel your real yesIf you've ever called yourself “nice” while resenting how much you give away, tune in to this episode. It's for you if: You've said yes when your whole body meant noYou're a practitioner, coach, healer, facilitator, leader, business owner, or human with a nervous system who has confused being loving with being endlessly availableYou're ready to stop proving you're good, nice, generous, easy, chill, or accommodating, and start trusting that your truth is enoughThe goal isn't to become hard. It’s not to become cold. It's not to bulldoze people with your truth and call it honesty. The goal is to become kind enough to stop lying. Kind enough to protect your time. Kind enough to protect the container. Kind enough to say, “No, I do not feel complete.” Kind enough to say, “Please don’t talk to me like that.” Kind enough to give the feedback, hold the standard, and stop betraying yourself in the name of keeping everyone else comfortable.

    Breaking the Mold (Your Business, Your Way)

    We’re talking about breaking the mold. The industry mold. The practitioner mold. The treatment room mold. The “this is just how success is supposed to look” mold. For Dr. V, the standard model of success in acupuncture looked like selling treatment packages, running multiple rooms, maximizing dollars per hour, eventually opening a clinic, hiring practitioners, and building something that looked successful on paper. But that model did not fit the way she was actually here to serve. In this episode, we talk about what happens when the version of success your industry hands you starts to feel rushed, fractured, misaligned, or just not true to who you are. Dr. V shares the vulnerable story of the moment that changed how she practiced acupuncture: leaving a needle in a client’s ankle while trying to run three rooms at once. It was embarrassing, painful, and full of guilt, but it also became a turning point. Because guilt can destroy you if you stay stuck in it. Or it can give you information. And for Dr. V, that moment became the beginning of a completely different way of practicing. One where she stopped fracturing herself across multiple clients, stopped trying to fit the gold-standard model, and started giving one person her full presence, attention, intuition, and energy. That decision looked financially unintelligent from the outside. But it became the thing that made her work unforgettable. Her sessions deepened. Her results changed. Clients started driving hours, flying in, and seeking her out because what she offered was unlike anything they had experienced before. And eventually, breaking the mold in the treatment room became breaking the mold in business. This conversation is about practitioner growth, self-expression, pricing, value, energy, emotional healing, burnout, one-to-one work, group work, digital offers, and the freedom that becomes possible when your business is built around your life instead of your life being built around your business. Because maybe the goal was never to fill your calendar until you resent your work. Maybe the goal is to build something that lets your full capacity come through. In this episode, we talk about:  The standard success model in acupuncture and why it did not fit Dr. V  The vulnerable story of Dr. V accidentally leaving a needle in a client while trying to operate three rooms at once  How guilt became information instead of a life sentence  Why value is not always about time, and why one powerful session can change far more than an hourly rate can hold  The difference between filling your calendar and building a business that actually feels like freedom  Why practitioners, healers, coaches, and creatives need permission to bring more of themselves into their work  What breaking the mold has created for both Dr. V and Ocean: freedom, choice, self-expression, creativity, play, and more impact  Why UpROAR exists for practitioners and creatives who are ready to go rogue in their industry This episode is for you if you have ever looked at the “successful” path in your industry and thought, “This actually feels like a prison.” It is for you if you are a practitioner, healer, coach, facilitator, creative, or service provider who knows the standard model does not fit the way you are here to work. It is for you if you have been trying to squeeze your gifts into a calendar, clinic, session structure, pricing model, or business format that leaves you tired, resentful, rushed, or creatively drained. And it is for you if you are ready to stop asking whether you are allowed to do it differently and start building the thing that actually reflects who you are.

    Un-Troubling: LIVE Name Clearing with Dr. V

    Dr. V is doing a live clearing. Right here. Right now. On the podcast. And this one is for our boy, Trouble. If you listened to last week’s episode, you already know the wild, serendipitous, full-circle story of how Trouble came into our lives. This week, we’re taking it deeper by doing a live clearing on his name, the projections placed over him, and the way language can shape the way someone, or something, is seen. Because words create worlds. Names carry meaning. And sometimes, without even realizing it, people speak things over us that start to become cages. In this episode, we talk about Trouble’s first week with us, the way he has already started doing healing work, and why Ocean felt called to clear the energy around his name after noticing how quickly people projected meaning onto him. We also talk about what it feels like to be misunderstood, labelled, scapegoated, called “too much,” or treated like a problem before anyone has actually seen the truth of who you are. And then Dr. V moves into the clearing. This clearing is for Trouble, yes. But it is also for anyone listening who has had words, names, judgments, projections, beliefs, assumptions, or identities placed over them that were never actually theirs. The problem child. The difficult one. The too much one. The troublemaker. The dramatic one. The sensitive one. The one who had to shrink, retreat, prove, perform, explain, or become what other people expected them to be. This episode is about clearing the weight of what was spoken over you, coming back to your own truth, and letting yourself choose who you actually came here to be. In this episode, we talk about: Why Dr. V is doing a live clearing on the podcastHow group healing can still feel deeply personal, even when the clearing is focused on one being, one topic, or one nameWhy Trouble’s name brought up so much around being misunderstood, judged, projected onto, and spoken overOcean’s own experience of being misunderstood, scapegoated, and labelled as the problem childTrouble’s first week with us and the heart-opening impact he has already hadWhat happened when Trouble helped Dr. V release tension, shoulder pain, and emotional heavinessWhy being with animals can create deep co-regulation, safety, and healingThe clearing around being too big, too much, too strong, or taking up too much spaceThe reclamation of Trouble’s name and the possibility of turning “trouble” into power, healing, and purposeHow this clearing may support listeners in releasing the words, names, and projections that have been spoken over themThis episode is for you if you have ever felt misunderstood by the name, role, reputation, or identity other people placed on you. It is for you if you have ever been called too much, too difficult, too sensitive, too dramatic, too intense, too wild, too weird, or too hard to love. It is for you if you have been carrying the weight of someone else’s language in your body, your nervous system, your choices, your relationships, or your sense of self. And it is for you if you are ready to become untroubled. To come back to your own name. Your own truth. Your own resonance. Your own authority.
