Dr. Mala

No one ever steps into the same river twice. Our lives change, but some moments ripple through us forever. In this deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Mala, we explore the many faces of trauma—childhood wounds, cultural silence, military service, intergenerational grief—and the surprising ways they can still serve us in the present.

From evolutionary psychology’s take on hypervigilance, to the spiritual and biological truths behind inherited pain, Dr. Mala shows how survival responses can be reframed into pathways for post-traumatic growth. We dive into her “Four A’s” method, the five common pathways of healing, and the embodied practices—like rehabilitative martial arts and henna art—that reconnect us to our own strength.

We talk about what it means to break cycles without rejecting our roots, how speaking truth aloud can literally change the body, and why rituals from drumming circles to mindful breath work still heal us in a high-tech world. And we go all the way to life’s edge—discussing how imagining your ideal death can help you live more fully now.

Whether you’ve carried your own storms or inherited the rains of your ancestors, this episode is an invitation to not just survive, but to recover into yourself.

The Undetected Narcissist

In this episode, I sit down with Kerie Logan—hypnotherapist, teacher of human consciousness, and author of The Undetected Narcissist—for a deep, living conversation about breaking free from old pain and stepping into the higher rooms of human awareness. Kerie shares her own transformational journey from personal crisis to life-changing work, revealing how we can release generational trauma, reframe our pain stories, and shift from fear-based living to love-based consciousness. We explore the differences between 3D, 4D, and 5D states of being, and how courage, forgiveness, and compassion can literally change the frequency of your life. Whether you’re navigating toxic relationships, searching for meaning, or simply curious about what’s possible when you stop feeding the seeds of anger, this conversation offers a grounded map for spiritual evolution—without losing sight of the practical steps it takes to get there.

Get Out of Your Head

In this episode of The Mental Breakthrough (TMB81), I sit down with Brian Sachetta, author of the Get Out of Your Head series, to explore how our brains—still wired for survival on the African savanna—struggle to navigate modern life. We unpack the evolutionary roots of anxiety, how our ancient threat detection systems misfire in today’s world, and what it really means to “get out of your head.”

Brian shares two pivotal panic attack experiences from his teens that shaped his understanding of fear and inspired his work in mental health. We dive into the difference between resisting emotions and allowing them to pass, how exposure therapy can rewire anxious patterns, and why honest conversations can radically shift anxiety in relationships.

Whether your anxiety shows up before a big date, a public speech, or an important meeting, this conversation blends neuroscience, evolutionary psychology, and practical wisdom to help you live alongside your mind—more wisely and more freely.

What does it really mean to take ownership of your life?

Agora Guild

In this episode, I’m joined by Barton Henderson—a former attorney turned entrepreneur, miner, printer, and founder of the Agora Guild, a men's community rooted in faith, fitness, finance, and family. We talk about his personal health awakening, and the realization that our systems—food, medicine, education—often don’t serve our highest good.

We explore what happens when you stop outsourcing responsibility and start reclaiming your health, your time, and your purpose. Barton shares how glyphosate, microplastics, and the myth of modern convenience led him to a life focused on simplicity, sovereignty, and building lasting brotherhood.

We also dive into:

• Why your health might be the most honest answer to “Who are you?”
  

• The surprising dream many modern men are quietly sharing
  

• Fulfillment vs. peace—and why most of us are chasing the wrong one
  

• The shift from performance to presence in men’s communities
  

• Why more fathers are leaving traditional systems to homeschool and reconnect with the land
  

If you're feeling the pull to slow down, simplify, or finally live in alignment with your values, this one's for you.

Come join us at the intersection of growth, grit, and grounded living.

A powerful survivor story of grief, grooming, and spiritual deception — and what it really takes to wake up from the lie.
https://feelingbetternaturally.love/In this episode of The Mental Breakthrough, I sit down with Isabella Young — a woman whose story reads like a cautionary tale, yet radiates deep truth and resilience.Isabella opens up about the years she spent trapped in a messianic cult operating quietly in suburban California — a place that promised divine purpose and healing, but delivered mind control, spiritual abuse, and the ultimate personal betrayal. She shares the winding path that led her there — including the sudden death of her first husband and the profound grief that followed — and how unresolved trauma can become an entry point for coercion.We talk about the tactics cults use to ensnare followers, the psychology of control, the demonic forces that may lie beneath, and the broader systems — family, religion, media — that echo these same dynamics. Isabella doesn’t hold back as she describes the loss of her son under suspicious circumstances, the weaponization of spiritual language, and the long, painful climb toward freedom and clarity.This conversation is not just about survival — it's about awakening. About learning to see the cage, and then stepping out of it.

Dianette Wells

In this episode, I sit down with Dianette Wells, climber, endurance athlete, and author of Another Step Up the Mountain, to explore the terrain of human experience—one step at a time. Dianette has scaled the highest peaks on every continent and endured some of the world’s most intense adventure races, but her journey is ultimately about far more than physical feats.

We talk about grief and resilience, motherhood and reinvention, and the quiet power of showing up for your life—even when joy feels out of reach. Dianette shares how the loss of her son, Johnny, shaped her, and how she continues to find him in nature, in memory, and in motion.

This episode is filled with reflection, wisdom, and a deep sense of what it means to be alive: to love, to fall, to rise, and to keep moving. Whether it’s climbing literal mountains or facing emotional ones, Dianette’s story is a living reminder that the summit is never the end—it’s just another step.

Alisha Kapani on IG

In this episode, I sit down with Alisha Kapani, whose journey through deep sensitivity, depression, and eventual healing reshapes how we understand emotional pain—and how we can truly move through it.

Alisha speaks from lived experience. For five years, she battled a depression that no medication could touch. What finally brought her peace wasn’t more effort, but the radical decision to stop resisting. She surrendered—not in despair, but with sacred curiosity—and found a mentor, a path, and a philosophy rooted in the subtle intelligence of the body.

Together, we unpack:

• Why suppression leads to suffering, especially for sensitive and empathic people.
  

• The difference between managing pain and softening into it.
  

• How tuning into your body's energetic “yes” and “no” can transform your relationships, choices, and sense of purpose.
  

• The science of vibration, ancestral healing, and the intuitive somatic language we all carry.
  

• Why peace isn't conditional—and how to discern it from numbness.
  

This conversation touches neuroscience, Buddhism, quantum physics, and lived heartbreak. It's an invitation to trust your sensitivity, to listen deeper, and to realize healing isn't something you force—it’s something you allow.

With gratitude to AlishaKapani for her courage and clarity, and to this space we're all co-creating in The Mental Breakthrough. — ChristopherDavid

www.DeeMani.com

In this deeply raw and powerful episode, I sit down with Dee Mani—a mother, author, and sovereignty guide—whose life changed completely after being diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer. But this isn’t a story about illness—it’s a story about liberation.

Dee shares how she walked away from the prescribed scripts of fear, pharmaceuticals, and silence to instead listen deeply to her body, her spirit, and the Earth. Through fasting, shadow work, grounding, and sacred plant medicines like cannabis and psilocybin, she not only healed physically—she reclaimed her voice, her truth, and her ancestral wisdom.

We talk about trauma, race, colonization, and how the medical system too often pathologizes what is actually a call to awakening. Dee brings fierce clarity and unapologetic love to this conversation, illuminating how reclaiming wellness is a political, spiritual, and embodied act.

If you’ve ever felt dismissed by institutions, if you’ve questioned the cost of compliance, or if you’re seeking healing on your own terms—this episode will speak directly to your soul.
