    Breaking the Armor: Defense Mechanisms, Self-Love & the Brave Path with Dr. Stephanie Lopez

    What if the very strategies you’ve used to survive—perfectionism, overachievement, emotional detachment—are now keeping you from the love and connection you crave? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Stephanie Lopez, founder of The Brave Method and former NASA psychologist, for a deep and honest conversation about the defense mechanisms we develop early in life to stay safe—and how those same patterns can quietly disconnect us from our truth, our relationships, and ourselves. Stephanie shares her journey of stepping away from a prestigious, successful career in psychology to follow her intuition into work that felt more aligned. Even after years of training, she found that traditional tools often failed to get to the heart of true healing and self-love. It wasn’t until she began listening to her body, her heart, and her inner knowing that everything began to shift. I also share how attending one of Stephanie’s Brave Method events cracked something open in me. Her work helped me recognize the subtle ways I was still armored and allowed me to soften into a deeper connection with myself. If you’ve ever felt stuck in old patterns—striving, pleasing, avoiding—and you’re ready to come back home to yourself, this episode is a must. In this episode, we explore: The subtle ways defense mechanisms shape our behavior and disconnect us Why perfectionism, anxiety, and control are often unhealed protection The limits of traditional psychology in accessing true self-love How intuition, embodiment, and self-compassion open the door to real healing What it looks like to release the armor and live more bravely and openly Resources Mentioned: Learn more about Dr. Stephanie Lopez and The Brave Method: www.brave-method.com Connect with Stephanie on Instagram: @drstephanielopez Discover her 4 step process to ditch anxiety for good: https://www.brave-method.com/anxiety

    Between Two Worlds: Psychic Detective Work, Mediumship, & Past Lives with Debbie Malone

    In this episode, I sit down with the incredible Australian psychic medium, author, and spiritual investigator Debbie Malone—and trust me, you’ll want to hear the wild story of how we met (hint: her oracle cards literally fell out of the sky). We dive into Debbie’s extraordinary journey of awakening to her intuitive gifts after multiple near-death experiences, and how those experiences led her to work with law enforcement on missing persons cases. She shares what it was like to embrace her spiritual calling over 20 years ago—long before it was mainstream—and how the more she tried to shut down her abilities, the louder they got. We talk: The uncanny way Debbie’s oracle deck brought us together How her near-death experiences cracked open her psychic abilities Her psychic detective work—and how helping solve crimes became her entry point into the spirit world Mediumship, why souls return, and what they really want to say Her perspective on past lives and her son’s powerful past life memory Filming TV shows in jails, facing skeptics, and the wildest stories from her work Why being psychic doesn’t mean you’re not skeptical—and how both can coexist What it was like raising intuitive children in a world that wasn’t always ready for them Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or somewhere in between, this conversation is full of awe, insight, and heart. Tune in for an unforgettable ride through the mystical and the grounded.

    Freeing Yourself from the Past through Somatic Work with Patrick Murphy

    I'm going to be honest... this was a challenging episode to summarize because we talked about SO many things! Patrick shares all about the nervous system, somatic work, and how to actually heal and integrate past traumas to create more personal freedom in your life. He takes us through what somatic work is and why it's so important to liberate yourself from the past to create your life on your own terms. Connect with Patrick: https://www.murph.live Join the Intuition Study Group on 9/22: https://calendly.com/jessbubbico/intuition-study-group Who is Patrick? Patrick Murphy believes that the bravest thing any human can do is to ask for help, especially in the moments when we feel like we should "have it all together." He is a storyteller, entrepreneur, and somatic coach who empowers leaders and high achievers to break free from feeling stuck. He knows what it's like to spend years in therapy, read all the books, listen to all of the podcasts, make some progress, yet still feel stuck and broken inside. His own journey through the depths of trauma and complex PTSD—stemming from an alcoholic father and childhood sexual abuse from a neighbor—has been filled with great success working for companies like The Wall Street Journal and founding a mental health startup while secretly battling self-doubt, suicidal ideation, and feelings of brokenness. After decades of striving in this way, Patrick discovered Somatic Experiencing which transformed his understanding of himself and revealed that his perceived brokenness was, in fact, his nervous system stuck in loops of past trauma and shame. Now, he dedicates his life to guiding other courageous individuals to make sense of their inner worlds and embrace the bold, visionary lives they desire to lead while laughing a lot and enjoying themselves along the way.
