    SECOND CHANCES with Deb Haynie: Surrender to the Path

    What does it look like to heal in ways that traditional therapy can't touch? Deb Haynie has spent over two decades as a licensed psychotherapist — and somewhere along the way, she realized that talk therapy alone wasn't getting people all the way home. So she went deeper. A shamanic guide, wing woman advisor at Moms on Mushrooms, and student of legendary consciousness researchers Stan Grof and Sandra Ingerman, Deb works at the intersection of psychology, spirituality, and altered states — helping people align with what their soul already knows. In this episode, Deb shares what two decades in the therapy room taught her, why psychedelics are reshaping what healing can look like, and what it really means to surrender to your path. What We Cover Why traditional psychotherapy can only go so far — and what lies beyond itHow psychedelics have been used for centuries to access deeper dimensions of healingWhat shamanic practice and modern therapy have in common (more than you'd think)The role of grief, synchronicity, and surrender in finding your way throughPractical guidance for anyone curious about psychedelic therapy — and how to approach it safely https://www.momsonmushrooms.com/team If This Episode Moved You Share it with someone who's done the therapy, read the books, and still feels like something's missing. And if you're curious about what psychedelic-assisted healing actually looks like in practice, this episode is a grounded, compassionate place to start.

    Shari Shink- From the Courtroom to Cobbled Streets

    Christy Belz welcomes attorney, trailblazer, and founder of the Rocky Mountain Children’s Law Center Shari Shink — now the force behind Cobbled Streets — for a conversation rooted in nearly 50 years of advocacy. What began as a one-year detour to Colorado became a lifetime commitment after one courtroom moment Shari couldn’t walk away from. This is a fierce, urgent, and deeply human conversation about a broken system, the children caught inside it, and what it looks like to build something better from the outside. Listen on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, iHeartRadio, YouTube or wherever you get podcasts! Key Takeaways  One Courtroom Moment That Changed Everything: Shari traces her entire career back to a judge’s decision to remove a thriving two-and-a-half-year-old from the only family he’d ever known — and her refusal to let it happen again.Why the System Keeps Failing: She breaks down the policy pendulum swinging from family-first to child-safety-first and back — and why every swing traumatizes the kids caught in the middle.The Accountability Gap: With judges, lawyers, and caseworkers all involved, nobody is held responsible for outcomes — and that’s why kids cycle through placement after placement.What Cobbled Streets Actually Does: Community events, individual experiences, and ambassador networks across Colorado’s 23 judicial districts — all built around one question: what does this child want?“My Horse Didn’t Give Up on Me”: A seven-year-old’s four words after equine therapy that capture everything foster kids are missing — and everything Cobbled Streets is trying to give back.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Resources Mentioned:  Rebecoming Me (Film): https://www.cobbledstreets.org/rebecomingme   Connect with Christy Belz:  Website: https://christybelz.com  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christybelz/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/christybelzcoach/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChristyBelzCoach/
