As a psychologist, I have a sacred opportunity to both teach and learn from my clients. It is my mission to bring honest, real life stories to the light in hopes that the listeners might grow from them and be as inspired by them as I am, because there is no better way to struggle than “together. As a psychologist, I am driven by curiosity to gain greater understanding of others, as we navigate our way through this “never perfect” life.

    Pulling the Hell Out of Humanity: How One Man Traded His Empire for a Calling with Paul Hutchinson

    What if the very things that made you successful were quietly destroying you from the inside out? Paul Hutchinson built a $50 billion empire, married an NFL cheerleader, and rescued thousands of children from trafficking — yet found himself emptier than ever. In this raw and remarkable conversation, he reveals how the same darkness he was fighting in others (arrogance, greed, and lust) had quietly taken root in his own heart. Dr. Beth sits down with entrepreneur, philanthropist, and child rescue advocate Paul Hutchinson — the real-life inspiration behind Sound of Freedom — for an unflinching conversation about transformation. Paul shares the story behind 70+ undercover rescue missions, the late-night phone call that began his journey of healing, and the powerful truth that we can't pull children out of hell until we pull the hell out of ourselves. What You'll Learn: Why the common thread among traffickers isn't what you'd expect — and what it reveals about unhealed trauma in all of us How generational and epigenetic trauma shapes us long before we're old enough to remember The science of neuroplasticity and why childhood wounds become so hard to heal as adults Why doing "good things" with the wrong motives can quietly destroy your life, marriage, and identity How to take a personal inventory of arrogance, greed, and lust — and what real healing actually requires Practical tools (breathwork, meditation, faith, self-defense, art therapy) for healing children and adults walking through trauma About Our Guest: Paul Hutchinson is an entrepreneur, philanthropist, and the primary investor and executive producer of the film Sound of Freedom. He founded the Child Liberation Foundation and Liberating Humanity, and has led or participated in over 70 undercover rescue missions in 15 countries — directly impacting more than 8,000 children. He is a recipient of the 2022 Medal of Freedom Award. Today, alongside his wife Vanessa, he hosts sanctuary healing retreats around the world for trauma survivors, leaders, and those ready to break free of what's holding them back.

  2. Grief to Gold: Finding Purpose, Faith, and Healing in Life’s Hardest Chapters with Pearly Montagu

    APR 28

    Grief to Gold: Finding Purpose, Faith, and Healing in Life’s Hardest Chapters with Pearly Montagu

    What if the pain you've been carrying isn't actually yours to keep? What if your body — every ache, every heaviness, every story it whispers — is asking you for something different than what you've been giving it?  In this conversation, Dr. Beth sits down with trauma release practitioner Pearly Montagu, whose rare gift of seeing emotional and physical pain as colors and structures inside the body emerged after a profound near-death experience at age 29. Pearly shares the unexpected detour from a corporate finance career to a calling rooted in deep healing work, walking through her own journey of chronic pain, plant medicines, and surrender. Together, she and Dr. Beth explore how the body stores trauma — including the trauma we inherit from generations before us — and how shifting our narrative, our habits, and our fears can move us from pain to purpose. It's a tender, expansive conversation on faith, fear, food as medicine, the dying process, and the everyday rituals that keep us aging with grace. What You'll Learn Why 95% of cancers can be prevented through lifestyle — and the simple morning and evening rituals Pearly swears by (turmeric chai, lemon water, miso, and more) How to build new habits that actually stick by piggybacking them onto what you already do The truth behind the body's seven-year renewal cycles and why pain often surfaces right on schedule How to stop identifying with your pain and rewrite the story your body is rehearsing The role of generational trauma in the patterns we keep repeating — and how to release what was never yours to carry Why community, not just nutrition or exercise, is one of the strongest predictors of a long, joyful life About the Guest  Pearly Montagu is a TEDx speaker and trauma release practitioner whose rare form of synesthesia — discovered after a near-death experience — allows her to perceive emotional and physical trauma in the body as colors and structures. Combining this gift with somatic and energy-based healing training, she now supports clients worldwide and has worked alongside leading voices in integrative health, including Dr. Nasha Winters and Dr. Zack Bush. Connect with Pearly: Website: manderley.org Instagram: @a.pearly.way.of.life If you've ever felt stuck in a chapter of pain — physical, emotional, or inherited — this episode is your gentle nudge that healing is possible, and it doesn't have to look like anyone else's.

  3. Addiction and Shame: When Accountability Meets Grace

    APR 27

    Addiction and Shame: When Accountability Meets Grace

    The majority of  individuals struggling with addiction experience a mix of shame and self-hatred, but does this improve their chances for getting healthy and sober? Accountability is essential, but self understanding and self compassion are as well. What if the path to healing isn’t choosing between accountability or compassion—but learning how to hold both at the same time? Sometimes rewriting the stories and narratives behind our addiction helps us identify risk factors and underlying mental health issues that increase susceptibility to our addictive  behaviors.  So many people struggling with addiction are caught in a painful cycle of shame, guilt, and self-blame… but what if that very shame is keeping them stuck? In this powerful and honest episode, Dr. Beth explores the delicate balance between taking responsibility for our choices and extending ourselves (or our loved ones) the compassion needed to truly heal. Through a real-life client story, she unpacks the difference between making excuses and understanding root causes—and why that distinction is critical in breaking free from addiction and preventing relapse. What You’ll Learn: The crucial difference between excuses and explanations in recovery Why shame and self-hatred often fuel addiction instead of stopping it How anxiety, loneliness, and unresolved pain contribute to substance use The danger of “quick fixes” vs. the power of long-term healing strategies Practical ways to balance personal responsibility with self-compassion How understanding root causes can help prevent relapse and promote lasting change If you’ve ever struggled with shame, self-blame, or watching someone you love battle addiction, this episode is for you. Tune in, reflect deeply, and consider how compassion and accountability can work together to create real, lasting healing. And if this message resonates, share it with someone who needs hope today.

    Healing Beyond Medicine: Through Awareness, Energy, and Gratitude with Dr. Lisa Piper & Wendy Cohn-Osborne

    What if healing isn’t about fixing yourself—but learning how to come back into balance? So many of us push through stress, pain, and overwhelm, searching for quick solutions… but what if real transformation begins when we slow down, listen, and reconnect with what truly matters?
