  • The Nervous System Knows: Pleasure, Safety & Parasympathetic Power – Dr. Tina Koopersmith

    The Nervous System Knows: Pleasure, Safety & Parasympathetic Power – Dr. Tina Koopersmith
    Dec 15 2025
    Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith What if pleasure wasn’t indulgent—but essential? In this episode of Your Healing Playground, Dr. Tina explores the deep and often misunderstood relationship between pleasure and safety, and why both are required to shift the body and mind into true healing mode. Most of us are living with nervous systems shaped in early childhood—primed for survival, hyper-vigilance, and constant “ON” mode. Even when danger is no longer real, our bodies respond as if it is. Over time, this chronic stress drains our internal battery, leading to burnout, anxiety, depression, inflammation, and dis-ease. Here’s the truth: Healing doesn’t happen through force or thinking harder. It happens when the body feels safe. Pleasure and play are powerful biological signals that tell the nervous system, “You’re okay. You can rest now.” When safety is felt in the body—not argued in the mind—the parasympathetic system activates, allowing us to rest, digest, repair, reproduce, and renew our joy for life. In this episode, you’ll learn: Why safety is a felt sense, not a thought How early childhood wiring keeps us stuck in survival mode Why pleasure is a gateway to healing, not a reward How embodiment rewires the brain and restores vitality Why your stories are editable—and meant to serve your joy This is an invitation to turn off the engine, recharge your system, and remember what it feels like to truly enjoy being alive. What Am I – Children’s Book Author Dr. Tina Koopersmith https://tinakoopersmith.com/what-am-i-childrens-book/ ~ More About Your Healing Playground with Dr. Tina Koopersmith ~ Dr. Tina Koopersmith has practiced Western medicine for over 30 years. But she is so much more than a physician. An integrative medicine and fertility specialist, she is a transformational healer and coach who not only brings life to her patients but reminds them that it is their responsibility and, in their power, to bring themselves back to vibrancy and vitality. Root cause healing starts with energy, emotions, communication—between your cells and your soul. As a speaker-coach-author as well as mother, nonconformist, and recovering perfectionist, she is dedicated to modifying our health care system from one focused on illness and sickness to one devoted to prevention and wellness. She reminds us all that love, play, pleasure and purpose are the secret ingredients to wellness. She starts with the premise we all have the same parts and very similar DNA, and yet we all have different experiences and imprinting. Our unique signature means we are all wired to access safety and pleasure in a slightly different fashion; this diversity is to be praised and celebrated. When our body feels safe, we can move from our “childhood” survival stress mode to our “Wise Sage Self”. Healing, recovery and regeneration thrive only when we stop resisting what is and celebrate all of life with acceptance of the NOW. Health and Wellness is nourished with empathy, compassion innovation and connection—a total integration of the mind body, the heart body, the physical body and the energetic. ALL are worthy of self-care, self-acceptance and self-love.

  • Disability Or Superability? With Guest Stephanie Ward

    Disability Or Superability? With Guest Stephanie Ward
    Dec 8 2025
    Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith In this episode of Your Healing Playground, Dr. Tina opens with a provocative reframe: Is it disability… or superability? Who decides what is “normal,” “able,” or “limited”? What if our abilities were determined not by society’s labels but by how we choose to see ourselves? We explore how language shapes reality — how words like disability, disorder, deficit, or slow cast spells that limit potential. And how one shift in perspective, like seeing a stutter as a superpower, can open entirely new pathways of possibility. Together with guest Stephanie Ward — founder of Spicy Brain Collective and mentor to neurodivergent entrepreneurs — we dig into what neurodivergence really means, how differently-wired brains often hold immense creativity and innovation, and why “regression to the mean” has harmed generations of brilliant minds. Stephanie shares her personal story of reclaiming her neurodivergence as a gift, not a liability, and how she helps others create structures, tools, and environments where unconventional brains can thrive. This episode is about rewriting the narrative of ability, shifting from limitation to potentiality, and recognizing that every human is capable of meaningful contribution, connection, and success — when given the right language, support, and freedom to self-express. Stephanie Ward is the founder of the Spicy Brain Collective and Spicy Brain Energy. These companies help neurodivergent entrepreneurs with a range of done-for-you and done-with-you business services, so that they can achieve the success they deserve in business. Stephanie is an experienced virtual assistant with a broad range of skills developed across 12 years as a freelancer. First starting as a copywriter in 2012 as a way to pass her maternity leave, she has developed a plethora of services in her one-stop-shop group of companies, ranging from web design, to diary management, to Amazon KDP campaign development, to fundraising, to strategic coaching. She fell into this line of work and unexpectedly found it to be something she loved to do. Stephanie is a firm advocate for implementation of AI in business, but is concerned about it’s usage by neurodivergents, instead believing that we need to use and develop our own intuition for internal validation. thespicybraincollective.com What Am I – Children’s Book Author Dr. Tina Koopersmith https://tinakoopersmith.com/what-am-i-childrens-book/ ~ More About Your Healing Playground with Dr. Tina Koopersmith ~ Dr. Tina Koopersmith has practiced Western medicine for over 30 years.

    Doorways Are Just Portals – Dr. Tina Koopersmith
    Dec 1 2025
    Your Healing Playground - Dr. Tina Koopersmith Are we going or coming? Leaving or Entering? Is it an Ending or a New Beginning? Are we letting go or holding on and how to tell the difference? Change is the only constant in life and yet moving through change can be challenging. We may say we desire to get up and go… to change... to transform… but in doing so it often entails letting go of the past, letting go of old stories. Sometimes it's during the change that we can see the stories as they really are - just stories and not truths. Life is one big story! We live in the NOW but are constantly waffling between the past and future. Where is change located? In the NOW or in the past or future? These are questions I am asking myself as change is upon me once again. And when I stop to think - in every moment, if we are truly being alive and awake humans, we are changing in every moment. Do we stop to notice? How can we find the pleasure and joy when change is both exciting and terrifying?
