• #226: How to Heal Emotional Trauma & Rewire Your Nervous System w/ Dr. Nima Rahmany
    Jul 6 2025

    Have you ever felt like you're stuck in the same emotional loops? Overreacting, shutting down & repeating patterns you swore you would change?


    In this episode I speak to Dr. Nima Rahmany, a chiropractor-turned trauma specialist who helps you reconnect with yourself by healing the emotional wounds stored in the nervous system.

    We talk about how it isn’t just the event that caused the trauma - it’s the way it changed how you see yourself and what you believe you deserve. And more importantly, we talk about how to rewire those old patterns so you’re not just surviving - you’re actually enjoying your life again.


    TOPICS:

    1. How stress and trauma get stuck in your body
    2. Why we keep repeating the same emotional patterns
    3. How to break those patterns and actually feel better in your life

    Jun 29 2025

    ADHD is one of the most misunderstood conditions out there.

    Misdiagnosis is common, treatments often miss the mark, and emotional symptoms like rejection sensitivity are rarely even mentioned.

She breaks down why so many people get overlooked or mislabeled, what Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria actually feels like, and how you can take clear, practical steps to better understand your brain and take back control.


    TOPICS:

    1. Why ADHD is so often misdiagnosed or misunderstood
    2. How Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD) impacts emotions and self-worth
    3. The real reasons ADHDers struggle with motivation, focus, and follow-through.

  • #224: Why Going Toward the Pain Is the Only Way to Truly Heal w/ Mitch Wallis
    Jun 22 2025

    What if the thing you're avoiding is the thing that's keeping you stuck?


    If you’ve been trying to manage your mental health by staying busy, staying positive, or staying quiet, this episode will challenge that.

    Today I’m speaking with Mitch Wallis, who is a speaker, writer, and founder of Heart On My Sleeve. Mitch went from leading global product launches at Microsoft to barely holding it together behind the scenes. After years of hiding OCD, panic attacks, and depression, everything fell apart…but that’s when things finally started to change.

    We talk about what healing actually looks like, why most mental health conversations miss the mark, and why going toward the pain is the only real way forward.


    TOPICS:

    1. Why going toward emotional pain is essential for real healing
    2. The difference between talking and truly connecting
    3. How to support others without trying to fix them

  • #223: How to Recover from Burnout & Rebuild Your Life w/ Chris Bellette
    Jun 14 2025

    Have you ever felt like you’re running on empty? Like no matter how hard you push, you just can’t catch up?


    Today I’m joined by Chris Bellette, a burnout recovery coach who helps people heal the root causes of burnout.

    Chris opens up about his own crash from burnout, how it nearly destroyed his health, marriage, and identity, and the exact process he used to rebuild his life and find a sense of purpose, and self-worth.


    We talk about why burnout isn’t just about overwork… it’s about the stories we carry, the patterns we run, and the pressure to always be “enough.”

    If you're feeling stuck, exhausted, or like you’ve lost yourself … this conversation could be your turning point.

  • #221: Why Playing It Safe Is Costing You Growth w/ John Marvin
    Jun 1 2025


    Sometimes the real risk is not taking a leap - it’s staying exactly where you are…


    In this episode, I sit down with John Marvin, a business leader and personal growth advocate who’s spent decades transforming companies and challenging people to think bigger. John went from working in healthcare marketing to leading a 90-year-old brand into a new era & along the way, he realised that most people aren’t stuck because of lack of opportunity… they’re stuck because of fear.


    We talk about why playing it safe feels comfortable but kills growth, how to break out of mental loops that keep you small, and why you don’t need to have it all figured out to start making changes now.


    TOPICS:

    • The fear of change & how it limits personal growth
    • The power of mindset & daily discipline in creating long-term success
    • The impact of your environment & relationships on your ability to evolve

  • #220: Why You Keep Avoiding Conflict & How It’s Quietly Ruining Your Life w/ Sacha Koffman
    May 21 2025

    Most of us hate conflict. We avoid it, tiptoe around it, and convince ourselves we’re just “keeping the peace.” But what if avoiding conflict is actually costing us more than we realise...in our relationships, our work, and even our mental health?

    TOPICS:

    • Why we avoid conflict
    • Healthy vs unhealthy conflict
    • How to give and receive feedback effectively
