    Shiftwave and Second Chances: Reclaiming a Life from Addiction

    I joined Emma Gardner on The Healing Odyssey: Finding Your Own Way Forward for a conversation about addiction, trauma, self-trust, and what it can mean to become more available to ourselves.We talked about my work with Shiftwave, how I incorporate it into the therapeutic process, and what I am witnessing as people begin experiencing more choice in their bodies and their lives. I shared stories from intensive work with clients…and some of my own experience of continuing to meet the parts of myself that emerge as life changes.One of the questions that stayed with me was something I have been asking myself as my work expands:Could I allow what someone else sees in me to be possible?It is something I ask of clients too. Can we consider a possibility for ourselves that reaches beyond the story we have been carrying about who we are?Our conversation moves between the deeply personal and the clinical…how we learn to look outside ourselves for answers, what it takes to begin trusting our own experience, and why having insight does not always mean we can readily access a different response.We also make room for the humanity of this work. The frustration. The uncertainty. The laughter. The moments when we need to step back, and the courage it can take to stay curious.A teacher or therapist can offer us what they know and reflect what they see. We still get to consider what feels true for us…and what we want to do with it.My hope is that this conversation offers something useful as you continue finding your own way. Perhaps a little more room to listen to yourself, consider another possibility, or recognize the freedom you are already beginning to experience.Chapters00:00 Introducing The Healing Odyssey02:48 Meeting Theresa and exploring her clinical work05:16 Agency, choice, and our relationship with uncertainty08:45 Shiftwave within intensive therapeutic work24:01 Do we ever finish working on ourselves?32:43 Body awareness, emotion, and recovery40:18 Learning from others while trusting ourselves45:00 The work, humor, and humanity of intensives52:27 Where to find Theresa’s work56:39 Continuing to learn through clinical observation "The Healing Odyssey: Finding Your Own Way Forward" is a transformative podcast hosted by Emma, dedicated to exploring the intricate world of addiction, recovery, and mental health.

    Why Can't I Change Something I Already Understand? The Neuroscience of Change With Dr. Irena O'Brien

    What if the reason we struggle to change is not because we lack understanding, motivation, or effort? What if our brains and bodies are responding exactly as they have learned to respond — even when those responses no longer support the life we want to live? In this conversation, Theresa Hubbard, LMFT, sits down with Dr. Irena O'Brien, cognitive neuroscientist and founder of The Neuroscience School, to explore how the brain works, why the nervous system responds the way it does, and what neuroscience can teach us about meaningful change. Together, they explore the brain as a predictive system — constantly anticipating what we may need based on previous experiences. They discuss how stress influences our available energy, why the nervous system may remain activated long after a difficult experience has passed, and why understanding a pattern intellectually does not always change the body's response. One of the most meaningful parts of this conversation is their exploration of relational safety. What happens when someone feels genuinely accepted? What might the nervous system recognize about another person's internal experience before words are spoken? And how much does the therapist's or coach's own nervous system influence the experience of the person sitting with them? Irena also shares openly about her personal experiences with anxiety, complex trauma, acceptance, neurofeedback, and discovering what helps her body experience greater safety. The conversation brings to mind a quote often attributed to Anaïs Nin: “Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.” What might that mean when we consider courage through the lens of the nervous system? Courage is not necessarily the absence of fear. And it is not always about pushing through discomfort or demanding more from ourselves. Sometimes courage is allowing ourselves to experience something unfamiliar. Sometimes it is allowing another person to see us more fully. And sometimes courage begins when our bodies have enough capacity to pause before responding in the way they always have. Perhaps our lives expand not only because we become more courageous, but because our nervous systems begin to experience enough safety for courage to become a choice rather than a demand. Because sometimes we know exactly what we want to change. We understand the pattern. We recognize the cost. And yet, something in us continues to respond in the same familiar way. Perhaps the question is not simply, "Why can't I change?" Perhaps it is: What has my brain and body learned that I have not yet fully understood? And what might become possible when we begin working with that learning rather than fighting against it? How the predictive brain uses past experiences to anticipate and respond Why chronic stress influences energy, recovery, and our capacity for change How relational safety and genuine acceptance influence therapeutic relationships Irena's personal experiences with anxiety, trauma, neurofeedback, and acceptance How curiosity, compassion, and new experiences may support meaningful change Dr. Irena O'Brien is a cognitive neuroscientist and founder of The Neuroscience School.

    Pain Is Real - What Is Your Nervous System Trying To Protect (Part Two)

    In Part Two of this conversation, Theresa Hubbard continues her discussion with Ryan Morris, Doctor of Physical Therapy and owner of MindBody Physical Therapy and Pain Reprocessing in Mission, Kansas. This part of the conversation moves deeper into body trust, athletes, identity, somatic tracking, provider humility, and what it means to help the nervous system learn safety over time. Theresa and Ryan explore how pain can become especially complex when it becomes tied to identity — particularly for athletes, high performers, and people who have built a life around being capable, strong, disciplined, or physically reliable. For athletes, injury is rarely just about the injured body part. It can also raise questions about self-worth, belonging, performance, future, purpose, financial security, and the fear of no longer being who they once were. Together, Theresa and Ryan talk about what happens when the body becomes associated with danger, disappointment, pressure, or loss — and how healing may require more than strengthening the tissue or pushing through the movement. This episode also explores somatic tracking, curiosity, graded exposure, and the importance of approaching the body without pressure to perform. Ryan describes how people can begin noticing sensation without immediately fearing it, judging it, or trying to make it go away. The goal is not to force the body into trust. The goal is to create repeated experiences where the body can begin to learn: This sensation may be uncomfortable, but I may still be safe. This movement may feel unfamiliar, but my body may still be capable. This pain may be real, but it may not mean I am broken. Theresa and Ryan also speak honestly about the professional identities of therapists and physical therapists — how providers can become attached to certain models, explanations, or techniques, and how humility and curiosity are needed as research evolves. At the heart of this episode is a compassionate question: How do we help the body trust again after it has learned to protect? Not all at once. Not through force. But through safety, curiosity, repetition, community, and time. • Why athletes often experience pain and injury through the lens of identity• How self-worth can become connected to performance, achievement, and physical ability• Why returning to sport or movement can feel threatening after injury• How chronic pain may become tied to fear, loss, pressure, and old stories• How curiosity helps reduce fear around body sensations• How slow, intentional movement may support flexibility, recovery, and nervous system regulation• Why healthcare providers need humility as pain science continues to evolve• Why healing often requires community, collaboration, and multiple forms of support Ryan Morris is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the owner of MindBody Physical Therapy and Pain Reprocessing in Mission, Kansas. He graduated with his doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Kansas Medical Center in 2011 and has more than a decade of clinical experience. He is certified as a Therapeutic Pain Specialist and in Pain Reprocessing Therapy. Ryan’s work is grounded in a biopsychosocial, mind-body approach that helps people understand pain through the lens of the nervous system, safety, whole-person care, and the body’s capacity to adapt.

    Pain Is Real - What Is Your Nervous System Trying To Protect - Part One

    In Part One of this conversation, Theresa Hubbard sits down with Ryan Morris, Doctor of Physical Therapy and owner of MindBody Physical Therapy and Pain Reprocessing in Mission, Kansas, for a deeply thoughtful conversation about pain, the nervous system, and the stories our bodies learn to tell. Ryan’s work is grounded in a biopsychosocial, mind-body approach that looks at the whole person — not just the body part that hurts. He helps people understand something that can be both relieving and difficult to take in: Pain is real. Deeply real. And pain is not always proof that the body is damaged. Together, Theresa and Ryan explore what many of us were never taught about pain: how the brain predicts danger, how the nervous system tries to protect us, how medical language and imaging can sometimes increase fear, and why chronic pain may continue even after tissue has healed. This is not a conversation about dismissing pain or telling people it is “all in their head.” It is a conversation about honoring the intelligence of the body and understanding pain as part of a protective system — an alarm system that may keep sounding when the brain and body still perceive threat. Ryan explains the difference between tissue injury and neuroplastic pain, why the old idea of “pain receptors” does not fully explain what people experience, and how stress, fear, memory, trauma, identity, medical diagnoses, and past experiences can all shape the way pain shows up. Theresa and Ryan also talk about curiosity, provider language, shame, the lag between research and clinical practice, and why healing often begins when people feel believed, validated, and safe enough to relate to their bodies differently. At the heart of this episode is an invitation: What if pain is not always the body breaking? What if sometimes pain is the nervous system protecting? And what might become possible if the body could begin to learn safety again? • Why pain is real, even when it is not always a sign of tissue damage• How the nervous system functions as a protective alarm system• Why the brain can amplify pain when it perceives danger• The difference between tissue injury and neuroplastic pain• Why imaging, diagnoses, and medical language can sometimes increase fear• How chronic pain can become connected to story, identity, memory, and expectation• Why stress, trauma, weather changes, and life context can influence pain• How the body can continue protecting long after the original danger has passed• Why curiosity matters more than judgment in healing• How providers can unintentionally create more fear or more safety• Why pain reprocessing is not about denying pain, but helping the brain update its prediction• How compassion, graded movement, and safety can support healing Ryan Morris is a Doctor of Physical Therapy and the owner of MindBody Physical Therapy and Pain Reprocessing in Mission, Kansas. He graduated with his doctorate in physical therapy from the University of Kansas Medical Center in 2011. Certified as a Therapeutic Pain Specialist and in Pain Reprocessing Therapy.

    Remember Who You Were Before The World Told You Who To Be

    What if boldness is not about being loud, forceful, or certain? What if boldness is actually the process of coming back to yourself — slowly, honestly, and with enough trust to stop living from the roles that once helped you belong? In this conversation, Theresa Hubbard sits down with Melissa Henning-Frank, founder of Becoming Bold, host of the Embrace Your Inner Boldness podcast, creator of Becoming Bold Bootcamp and The Bold Way, and a U.S. Army veteran with a background in human resources, talent development, performance coaching, and manufacturing. Melissa describes herself as a curiosity catalyst, and her work helps individuals, leaders, and teams stop recycling the same frustrations and begin creating real traction through clarity, ownership, courage, and follow-through. Together, Theresa and Melissa explore boldness, self-trust, leadership, curiosity, survival patterns, energy leaks, ownership without shame, and what happens when we stop waiting for permission to become more fully ourselves. Melissa shares about “Kindergarten Melissa” — the curious, bold, natural leader she remembers being as a child — and “Corporate Melissa,” the more filtered, careful, conditioned version of herself shaped by Catholic school, the military, corporate systems, and the need to belong. This conversation is about the parts of us that learned to shrink, overexplain, stay quiet, say yes when we mean no, or carry what was never ours to carry. It is also about the possibility of returning. Returning to curiosity. Returning to intuition. Returning to our body. Returning to the part of us that knew something before the world told us who we were supposed to be. At the heart of this episode is Melissa’s powerful invitation: Remember who you were before the world told you who to be. Because boldness is not a performance. It is not a personality type. It is not forcing confidence. Sometimes boldness is the moment we notice the old pattern and say: I don’t do that anymore. Not with shame. Not with blame. But with ownership, courage, and the willingness to become more fully ourselves.

    Becoming the Person Who Can Create Such a Thing: Mike North, PhD CEO & Co-Founder on Shiftwave, Grief, and the Body’s Intelligence

    Becoming the Person Who Can Create Such a Thing: Mike North, PhD on Shiftwave, Grief, and the Body’s Intelligence What does it ask of a person to create something that may help others return to themselves? In this deeply human conversation, Theresa Hubbard sits down with Mike North, PhD, CEO & Co-founder of Shiftwave, to explore curiosity, grief, invention, friendship, trust, the body, and the responsibility of creating something that touches people’s nervous systems. Mike shares about the child he once was — curious, free, and building forts in the woods — and the adult life that shaped him through intensity, overdrive, body signals, loss, and unexpected collaboration. He speaks about Dan, the soul brother whose death changed the arc of his life, and Alan Macy, whose goodness and scientific brilliance helped open the doorway to what would become Shiftwave. At the heart of this conversation is a powerful insight: “The thing of creating, and becoming the person that can create such a thing.” Real creation is not just output. It is transformation. The thing being created asks something of the creator. And if the creator says yes, they do not remain the same person. Together, Theresa and Mike explore Shiftwave not simply as a technology, but as part of a much larger question: What helps the body remember what safety, regulation and capacity feel like? This episode is about more than nervous-system technology. It is about the human journey behind creation — and what becomes possible when grief, science, integrity, play, friendship, and care converge in service of helping people come back to themselves. WHAT YOU’LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE • Mike’s early curiosity, creativity, and the freedom ofbuilding as a child • How overdrive, intensity, and body signals shaped hisadult life • The role of friendship, grief, and Dan’s death in changing thedirection of Mike’s work • How Alan Macy’s brilliance and goodness became partof Shiftwave’s origin story • Why meaningful creation asks something of theperson creating it • How Shiftwave emerged from science, experimentation, care, and nervous system inquiry • Why the body’s intelligence matters in healing,recovery, and regulation • What it means to create something that may helppeople return to themselves • The responsibility of building technology thatinteracts with the nervous system • How grief, play, curiosity, and integritycan become part of service ABOUT MIKE NORTH Mike North, PhD, is the CEO & Co-Founder of Shiftwave - engineer, scientist, researcher, artist. His work brings togetherscience, technology, nervous system regulation, human performance, recovery, and a deep curiosity about what helps the body return to greater capacity, safety, and resilience. In this conversation, Mike shares not only the story of Shiftwave, but the personal journey, relationships, losses, and collaborations that helped shape the person capable of creating it. www.shiftwave.co ABOUT THERESA HUBBARD Theresa Hubbard, LMFT, is a Licensed Marriage and FamilyTherapist and founder of Kansas City Neuroplasticity Institute in Liberty, Missouri.

    Changing The Beliefs That Keep Us Stuck - With Judy Kane

    What if the patterns we keep repeating are not proof that we are failing — but signs that something deeper is still trying to protect us? In this conversation, Theresa Hubbard sits down with Judy Kane, founder of Aligned Consciousness, to explore subconscious beliefs, self-trust, resistance, and the quiet inner patterns that shape our lives before we even realize they are there. Judy has been helping people change subconscious beliefs using PSYCH-K® since 2011. Her work often supports people navigating anxiety, stress, self-sabotage, relationships, success, and the places where they feel stuck despite their best conscious effort. What makes Judy’s approach especially interesting is the way she brings a systems mind to transformational work. Before moving into subconscious belief change, much of her professional life was spent as an IT manager. She describes her work with clarity and practicality: identify what is not working, understand the pattern, and then use a process that supports change at the subconscious level. Together, Theresa and Judy explore why logic and conscious effort are not always enough to change the patterns we most want to shift. They talk about how beliefs are formed, how expectations shape us, how early messages can quietly become identity, and why so many people blame themselves for patterns that began long before they had the ability to choose them. This episode is about learning to stop fighting ourselves and begin listening more deeply to the inner systems that have been trying, in their own way, to keep us safe. Because sometimes the question is not: Why can’t I just change? Sometimes the deeper question is: What belief, protection, or old learning is still running beneath the surface? And what might become possible if that part of us could finally receive a different signal? WHAT YOU’LL HEAR IN THIS EPISODE• Judy’s journey from IT management to subconscious belief change work• What PSYCH-K® is and how Judy uses it with clients• Why subconscious beliefs can shape behavior before we consciously recognize them• How early expectations, family messages, and identity labels can affect what we believe is possible• Why logic and effort are not always enough to create lasting change• How beliefs can show up as patterns in money, relationships, success, self-worth, and receiving• Why people may over-give, over-return, or put their own priorities last• How Judy approaches subconscious change as a collaborative process• Why resistance can offer useful information rather than proof that something is wrong ABOUT JUDY KANE Judy Kane is the founder of Aligned Consciousness. She partners with people to identify and change subconscious beliefs that may be creating patterns in their lives that no longer support who they are or what they consciously want. Her work often centers around anxiety, self-sabotaging behavior, stress, success, relationships, and the places where people feel stuck despite their best effort. Before becoming a PSYCH-K® facilitator, Judy spent much of her professional life as an IT manager, a background that shaped her clear, practical, systems-oriented approach to change. Since 2011, she has been helping people create supportive subconscious beliefs that align with their conscious goals.

    When Being Strong Becomes Too Much - Week Six - Carrying Yourself Forward With Gentleness

    In the final week of When Being Strong Becomes Too Much, Theresa Hubbard, LMFT, invites listeners into a guided experience on carrying themselves forward with more gentleness, care, choice, and return. Many of us did not learn to be strong because we set out to become strong. We learned because something in our lives required it. Something needed to be held together.Someone needed something from us.Things felt uncertain enough that something in us stepped forward — and stayed there. Over time, that way of being can become so familiar that it no longer feels like something we do. It begins to feel like who we are. A readiness. A steadiness. A way of scanning, preparing, staying available, and carrying more than the present moment may require. This closing meditation is not about becoming a different person. It is not about letting go of strength or trying to arrive somewhere new. It is a gentle space to notice what your body may now recognize after this series: the awareness of effort,the signal of fatigue,the possibility of rest,the openness to support,and the option to carry strength with more choice. Through breath, body awareness, contact, silence, and compassionate self-inquiry, Theresa invites you to sit beside the part of you that learned to be strong — not to ask more from it, but to honor how long it has been working. This episode is about the possibility that your strength does not have to work alone. It can include care.It can include pause.It can include support.It can include return. And as you move forward, you may not need to remember everything perfectly. Your body may already be beginning to recognize another way. One breath.One pause.One moment of noticing.One small signal that says: I do not have to carry everything alone. • Why many people learned strength because life required it, not because they chose it• How strength can become so familiar that it begins to feel like identity• Why the body may stay ready, steady, scanning, or available even when nothing is being asked• How to honor the part of you that learned to hold things together• Why your body changes through experience, repetition, sensation, and return — not understanding alone• How effort, fatigue, rest, support, and choice can become signals the body begins to recognize• Why strength does not need to be abandoned in order to include care• How a small pause can create more space between automatic readiness and intentional response• Why your body may begin to notice bracing, anticipating, or holding sooner than before• How to carry yourself forward with gentleness rather than pressure Theresa Hubbard, LMFT, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and founder of Kansas City Neuroplasticity Institute in Liberty, Missouri. This series is part of my ongoing exploration of nervous system regulation, embodiment, neurofeedback, and the ways the body learns to recognize safety, support, rest, strength, choice, and return. Most recently, my thinking in this area has also been influenced by the work being done by Shiftwave around nervous system regulation, particularly the research and writing of Mike North, PhD, and the larger work of the Shiftwave team. This episode is not a paid sponsorship. I mention Shiftwave as one of the current influences helping shape my understanding of body-up regulation, recovery, and the body’s capacity to return.
