    Send a text Intuition, discernment vs judgment, negative ancestral patterns, generational healing, ID Blueprint, triggers, radical responsibility, nervous system regulation with Lynn M. Bunch. Lynn M. Bunch is an intuitive educator with nearly 30 years of experience helping people reconnect with their intuition in a practical, grounded way. She teaches a framework she calls the ID Blueprint, a self-paced roadmap designed to help you recognize triggers, respond with intention, and take personal responsibility for the life you are creating. 🔑Key Takeaways ✅Why intuition is not something you “develop,” it’s something you remember how to hear again ✅The difference between discernment and judgment, and how judgment creates separation ✅Negative ancestral patterns, what they are, how they show up, and why they matter ✅Why patterns do not always “go away,” they just stop flashing when you learn how to manage them ✅How judgment can keep a pattern activated and pass it down the family line ✅The concept of “infidelity” shows up outside of relationships, including health, boundaries, and finances ✅Radical responsibility, and why declaring it tends to bring everything “unhealed” to the surface ✅Why do people often seek help for physical wounds but let emotional wounds silently fester 0:00 Intuition Was Taught Out of Us 4:31 Discernment vs Judgment 9:20 Negative Ancestral Patterns, In Your DNA 13:05 The Trigger, Judgment Activates Patterns 15:00 Divorce, Kids, and “It Comes Through” 18:23 Radical Responsibility, Be Careful What You Claim 21:08 We Are Not Victims 23:25 Wounds vs Scars, Healing Stages Matter 25:56 The Emotional Wound We Ignore 28:06 ID Blueprint, Your Roadmap Forward 🔗 Guest Links 🌐 Website – https://lynnmbunch.com/ 📘 Facebook –   / lynn.bunch.31   ▶️ YouTube –    / intuitivedevelopmentorg   📸 Instagram –   / lynnmbunch   💼 LinkedIn –   / lynn-m-bunch   🎵 TikTok –   / lynn.m.bunch   Design Your Existence booking link: https://designyourexistence.as.me/schedule.php Disclaimer - This podcast is for educational and inspirational purposes only.

    From Broken to Awakened | Sean Blackwell on Bipolar Narratives

    Send a text Some people get labeled “bipolar” at the exact moment their nervous system is trying to release trauma, reboot the psyche, and move through a spiritual awakening. In this episode, Sean Blackwell shares his life-changing story and explains why many episodes of acute psychosis may be better understood as a spiritual emergency, a crisis of transformation, not just a lifelong mental illness label. We also talk about what safe, grounded support can look like during non-ordinary states, including why the right container matters as much as the tools. In this conversation, we cover *Bipolar disorder vs spiritual awakening, how a traumatic trigger can open the door to altered states and deep healing *Acute psychosis as reorganization of the psyche, and why meaning, trauma, and the subconscious matter *“Spiritual emergency” and spiritual emergence, why awakening symptoms can look like mental illness *Why psychiatric hospitalization can become a turning point, and how safety, consent, and support change outcomes *Breathwork for trauma release and nervous system regulation, why holotropic-style work is not DIY, it’s set, setting, and trained facilitation *Sean’s Bipolar Breathwork approach, private healing retreats, and distance surrogate breathwork sessions *The two fears that keep people stuck, fear nothing will happen, and fear something will happen 0:00 This can change how you see “bipolar” 3:55 The meditation that cracked everything open 6:14 “I thought I died,” spiritual emergency begins 6:43 Naked in the ballroom, hospital reality hits 7:28 Forced injection, the trauma nobody talks about 10:40 Two sisters in psychosis, a different approach 12:58 The clinics that helped without meds 26:52 Why breathwork needed a safer container 34:20 Breathwork isn’t DIY, set and setting matters 41:50 The “big ears” moment, when it got undeniable About Sean Blackwell Sean Blackwell is the creator of Bipolar Awakenings and the author of Am I Bipolar or Waking Up? and Bipolar Awakenings: The Quest to Heal Bipolar Disorder. For nearly two decades, he has explored the intersection of trauma, spiritual emergence, kundalini-style awakenings, and what is often diagnosed as bipolar disorder.

    From Self-Hate to Self-Worth: Healing Emotional Neglect, Perfectionism, and Finding Purpose

    Send a text Self worth, low self esteem, emotional healing, childhood trauma, emotional neglect, perfectionism, people pleasing, suicide attempt survival, finding your purpose, and healing from grief are at the heart of today’s conversation. In this episode of The Metamorphosis Project Podcast, Tenya sits down with Angie Hawkins for a raw and honest conversation about what it really takes to rebuild your life from the inside out. Angie lives in Hawaii. She surfs. She watches the sunrise from her window. And for years, she still did not like herself. Behind the beautiful backdrop was a woman operating from deep emotional neglect and low self-esteem. She believed she didn’t deserve love. She chased approval. She set impossible standards. She tried to earn her worth through perfectionism and achievement. When grief, loneliness, career instability, and isolation piled up, Angie reached a breaking point that led to a suicide attempt. What happened next, and the words “It’s not your time,” became the moment she chose to live differently. This episode explores how childhood trauma shapes adult beliefs, how perfectionism and people pleasing keep us stuck, and why moving across the country won’t fix internal pain. Real healing begins when we stop running and start reconnecting to ourselves. Angie shares how she shifted from victim mindset to personal responsibility, left corporate America, and created her GLOW Method to help women rebuild self worth and reconnect to their inner light. If you’ve ever struggled with low self-esteem, emotional regulation, grief, or the question “What is my purpose?”, this conversation will remind you that happiness and fulfillment are available. You are not broken. You are not alone. And healing is possible. –––––––––––––– YouTube Chapters 0:00 She Lives in Hawaii… and Hated Herself  2:19 “I Didn’t Deserve Love”  4:10 Grief Broke Her Open  6:25 You Can’t Outrun Your Pain  8:23 Everything Fell Apart  9:49 The Suicide Attempt  10:01 “It’s Not Your Time”  10:34 Choosing a Different Life  16:46 Leaving Corporate for Purpose  22:44 The GLOW Method Explained –––––––––––––– Connect with Angie Website: https://runninginslippers.com Mention The Metamorphosis Project Podcast to access her complimentary 60-minute Find Your Glow session. –––––––––––––– Connect with Tenya Join the Metamorphosis Membership for monthly group healing and self-care support: https://designyourexistence.com/memberships/ –––––––––––––– Disclaimer This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional medical or mental health care.

    Medicinal Mushrooms: What Big Pharma Doesn't Want You to Know?

    Send a text 🌟Tune into this episode of The Metamorphosis Project Podcast for a grounded, eye-opening conversation about functional mushrooms, burnout, and what real support for the nervous system actually looks like. I sit down with Ben Brassington, a former behavior designer who found his way into natural wellness after hitting a wall with burnout, anxiety, and depression. What started as a personal search for relief turned into a deep dive into medicinal mushrooms, quality extraction, and why so many products on the market don’t deliver what they promise. If you’ve ever tried mushroom coffee or supplements and thought, “I don’t feel anything,” this episode will make a lot of things click. Ben breaks down what quality really means in the functional mushroom world, why dosing and absorption matter, and how mushrooms can support real energy, calmer stress responses, better sleep, and sustainable routines that don’t feel restrictive or extreme. We talk about Ben’s transition out of the corporate world, how functional mushrooms became a turning point for his nervous system and overall health, and why more is not always better when it comes to supplements. We also unpack marketing language that sounds impressive but often amounts to little more than boiled water and a label. This conversation is practical, honest, and refreshing if you’re tired of quick fixes and want to understand how to work with your body instead of against it. 0:00 Welcome 2:58 Ben’s big mission and why it matters 5:43 Burnout to purpose, and the moment mushrooms shifted everything 8:44 Functional mushrooms vs psychedelics, clearing the misconception fast 9:18 The funniest, most shareable truth, “a fart’s worth of mushroom.” 19:20 Microdosing as a lifestyle, your “self-care is a frequency” moment 32:28 Extraction explained in plain language, why quality actually matters Where to find Ben https://www.facebook.com/benjamin.bressington https://www.linkedin.com/in/benjaminbressington https://x.com/BressingtonBen Where to find Bare Remedy https://www.facebook.com/thebareremedy/ https://www.instagram.com/purebareremedy/ https://www.youtube.com/@PureBareRemedy https://www.tiktok.com/@thehealingmushroom DisclaimerThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only and is not medical advice.

    #82 - The Terrible Twenties: Trading Approval for Authenticity

    Send a text 🌟In this episode of The Metamorphosis Project, Tenya sits down with Terraine LeBeau from Behind the Shades to talk about grief in a way most people do not expect. Not just grieving a person, but grieving the version of you that used to fit in, used to chase approval, used to tolerate chaos, or used to believe love had to be earned. Terraine shares what he calls the “terrible twenties,” how conditional love and anxious attachment shaped his choices, and the moment he realized he had to decide who he wanted to be. Together, they unpack grief identity, why losing an old identity can feel like losing a piece of yourself, how friendships change when you heal, and why closure is hard, especially when people ghost. They also talk about family estrangement, grieving the parents you wish you had, and why peace can feel unfamiliar at first. If you have ever felt lonely during growth, questioned your worth, or realized you have been loyal to mistreatment because it is what you know, this conversation will land. What you will hear in this episode 🌟What “grief identity” is, and why it shows up during major life changes 🌟The difference between losing an identity by choice, chance, or consequence 🌟Why healing often shifts your friendships and how “ghosting” can trigger abandonment wounds 🌟Trading quantity for quality, and learning what unconditional love actually feels like 🌟How estrangement ties into grief identity, and grieving people who are still alive Why peace can feel uncomfortable when chaos has been your baseline 🌟The two nuggets Terraine wants you to remember: your worth is internal, and your circle matters Guest info Terraine LeBeau, Grief Identity Coach in relationships Website: www.behindtheshades.ca Special offer: Mention Tenya or this podcast and receive one hour of coaching free.  Connect with Tenya and Design Your Existence Book a session: https://designyourexistence.com Disclaimer This podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

    #80 - Maybe There’s Nothing Wrong With You

    Send a text What if the discomfort you feel isn’t a sign that something is broken, but simply proof that you’re human? In this deeply honest and expansive conversation, Tenya sits down with Dr. Fred Moss, psychiatrist, author, and founder of the Welcome to Humanity movement, to explore one of the most radical ideas in mental health today, that there may actually be nothing wrong with you. Dr. Fred shares his unconventional journey through psychiatry, why he stepped away from diagnosing and medicating people, and how modern mental health has conditioned us to believe discomfort equals defect. Together, they unpack how early conditioning teaches us to disconnect from our true voice, why so many people are afraid to feel their feelings, and how labels can quietly strip us of responsibility, power, and choice. This episode is a real, human conversation about anxiety, depression, rumination, identity, and what it actually means to live authentically. You’ll hear reflections on trauma without bypassing it, the danger of outsourcing your inner authority, and why being human was never meant to be easy, but it was always meant to be meaningful. You’ll also hear Dr. Fred introduce his philosophy as “The Undoctor,” his belief in undiagnosing, unmedicating, and undoctrinating ourselves, and how simple, accessible self-care practices can radically shift how we experience life. If you’ve ever wondered why you feel the way you do, questioned whether you’re broken, or felt exhausted by trying to fix yourself, this conversation may feel like coming home. Key themes explored in this episode include redefining mental health, reclaiming personal agency, learning to tolerate discomfort, reconnecting with your true voice, and remembering that your lived experience has value, not pathology. Connect with Dr. Fred Moss  Website: http://www.drfred360.com  Website: http://www.welcometohumanity.net If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who needs to hear that they’re not broken. And if you haven’t already, subscribe, rate, and review The Metamorphosis Project Podcast to help these conversations reach more people.

    #79 - There’s Another Way: Jim Atkinson on Surviving Suicide and Becoming a Sign of Hope

    Send a text Welcome back to The Metamorphosis Project Podcast. Today’s episode is one that will touch every part of your heart. I sit down with Jim Atkinson, a suicide attempt survivor who has devoted the last forty years of his life to offering hope, compassion, and connection to people in silent crisis. Jim survived a self-inflicted gunshot wound at sixteen. Instead of hiding what happened, he has become a voice for those who feel alone in their pain. He stands in public spaces holding signs of encouragement. He gives away his books for free. He shares openly about the unreality of suicide, the moment of false peace right before an attempt, and what truly helps people find their way back. In this episode, we talk about 💭 What was happening in Jim’s mind as a teenager ⚡ The moment that changed everything 🙂 Why people often seem “happy” right before an attempt 🌍 How society treats suicide attempt survivors 📘 How one of Jim’s books saved a stranger’s life 📣 Why messaging in public spaces matters 🎄 How to navigate the holidays when you’re struggling 🗝️ The five keys that helped Jim rebuild his life 🤝 Why compassion and visibility save lives Jim’s message is simple. Show up. Be visible. Offer unconditional compassion. You never know who needs it.
