About this listen
In this episode, host Lisa Urbanski talks with Phyllis Coletta, author of How to Be a Good Dog, about what real healing looks like in everyday life. Through powerful stories of marriage, cancer, grief, and caregiving, Phyllis explains how meditation, stillness, and self-guided practice can help you move from chaos to calm—without pretending your trauma isn’t real.
In this episode, you’ll learn how to:
🧠 Understand what self-guided healing is and why guided meditations aren’t enough on their own
🧘♀️ Use meditation, stillness, and awareness to regulate emotions instead of numbing out
🚨 Recognize when trauma and anxiety need professional support (and why that’s not a failure)
🌊 Face long-standing fears—like illness, loss, and being alone—without getting swallowed by them
🍃 Shift from “woundiness” to wisdom and build a calm, reliable inner presence
🐕 See how energy, mindset, and calm leadership affect not just people, but animals and relationships
🌍 Make small daily choices that support your nervous system, resilience, and impact on the world
Instead of another quick fix, this is a gentle, honest roadmap to building an “alpha mind” that leads with wisdom instead of reactivity… even when life feels overwhelming.
