Join Sharon Sayler on the Autoimmune Hour as she welcomes Julie Stamm and Adam Romsdahl to share their heartfelt journey from surviving to thriving with Julie’s multiple sclerosis diagnosis.
We’ll explore how Julie turned her diagnosis into a mission of advocacy, writing, and community support and how her love and work partnership with Adam strengthens their relationship and resilience.
We learn about creating a remarkable life with MS, the importance of communication and advocacy, and the touching ways they parent their son, Jack. Don’t miss their inspiring insights and uplifting messages that show how life can still be influential and fulfilling post-diagnosis, including

More About Our Guests:
Julie A. Stamm was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) in 2007. Following her diagnosis, Julie made it her mission to educate, advocate, and support others battling chronic illnesses. She works tirelessly to help lessen the burden each patient has to bear. Her efforts have given her the opportunity to work with physicians, patients, and foundations across the globe.
After the birth of her son in 2016, Julie shifted her focus to supporting the children of parents with a chronic illness. Her children’s book, “Some Days: A Tale of Love, Ice Cream, and My Mom’s Chronic Illness,” was created to normalize differing abilities and amplify how each of us can thrive despite the challenges. In 2023, Julie co-created ’52 Essential Inclusion Skills – An A-to-Z Guide to Kindness, Compassion, and Respect for Diverse Abilities’ with Mind Brain Parenting’s Dr. Jenny Woo. The movement Julie has created has changed the apologetic tone and transformed the child and parent’s experiences into uplifting stories that highlight the patient’s resilience. Julie is committed to representing the underrepresented. Through her work, she has brought awareness and understanding to some of the many diverse abilities that can impact our lives, directly or indirectly.
Adam Romsdahl is a dedicated advocate, father, and special education paraprofessional with a passion for healthcare and community support. He met his wife, Julie Stamm, in 2013. From the beginning, Adam became a steadfast supporter in her journey, standing by her side in advocacy and raising awareness for multiple sclerosis. Together, they welcomed their son, Jack, in 2016, who has become a source of inspiration and joy for the family. Adam’s commitment to his family and work as a disability advocate reflects his deep dedication to resilience, inclusivity, and creating a positive impact in his community.

Join me, The Autoimmune Hour’s host Sharon Sayler, as I welcome back transformational life coach Pi Venus Winslow, a specialist in narcissistic abuse recovery.
Throughout our chat, we examine the complex aspects of codependency and narcissistic abuse. Pi shares the red flags and traits of narcissists and the impact on those who grow up with narcissistic abuse. We also chat about the tendencies of codependents...
Codependency is a behavior pattern in which a person relies heavily on others for their emotional needs, often at the expense of their well-being. Codependents often become overly invested in other people’s problems and have difficulty setting boundaries.
Pi and Sharon explore how a codependent’s lack of sense of self and a pattern of self-abandonment can lead to ill health, including autoimmune conditions.

Tonight, we welcome back Roberta Mittman L.Ac, CNC, PLLC, a renowned alternative healthcare practitioner and wellness coach. In this informative conversation, Roberta shares two favorite ways to realign your body and mind toward wellness and balance.
First, we chat about acupuncture, a traditional Chinese method utilized to relieve a variety of health issues and symptoms, such as stress or pain. While the exact mechanism behind how it works is not yet entirely understood, there is evidence that it can impact the nervous and other bodily systems and acupuncture has been shown to have a calming effect.
Acupuncture provided by a licensed, trained professional has been shown to be safe and effective. It can help achieve a relaxed state and encourage the release of your body’s innate ability to combat the stressor or symptom, and it’s also been said that it balances your body’s energy or ‘qi.’
Roberta also shares a detailed explanation of Rescripting, her proprietary comprehensive mental-strength training method. She developed Rescripting with an aim to help clients overcome stress, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed by leveraging over 25 years of experience in acupuncture and health coaching. Rescripting helps boost clients’ confidence and enables them to make better choices, leading to a more peaceful life.

Did you know that being a highly sensitive person can be a superpower? It means you're more in tune with your surroundings, like people's moods, voices, and body language.
Do you quickly pick up on the needs and feelings of others? Do you become easily overwhelmed by sensory input such as a beep-beep-beep repetitive sound, bright lights, and or strong smells? Or do subtle changes in your environment affect you more than most?
Maybe you’ve been called ‘too sensitive’ more than once (or twice)... At least 20% (1/5th) of the population is considered highly sensitive. So, you are not alone.
This week, we welcome Linda Binns, Breakthrough Energy Expert, and HSP Expert, to share the latest research and her own survivor-to-thriver experiences as a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). Linda is an accomplished energy and HSP coach and author of seven self-help books, including the wonderful VALUE ME!: Advantages of Being a Highly Sensitive Professional. Along with her research, personal learnings, and coping strategies, Linda also shares
• Simple ‘grounding’ techniques to enhance health and reduce stress
• How to incorporate and appreciate your uniqueness as an HSP
• Strategies to welcome your sensitivity into your everyday life
• How to share with others what you need and be open to receive
And more including, it’s okay to be a highly sensitive person!
More About Our Guest: Linda Binns describes herself as an introverted, intuitive, and highly sensitive person who became a small business owner, author, international speaker, radio and television guest, consultant, and coach.
Her childhood experiences left her unprepared to face life’s challenges. She felt inadequate and different from everybody else - like an outsider. Many times, she struggled with relationships (both personally and professionally) until she discovered the right tools. Little by little, her confidence increased. While her experiences in various careers in the corporate world were invaluable, she didn’t find fulfillment there. In 1997, she started her own energy coaching and consulting practice.
Now, her greatest joy is to share and discover with you just how you can achieve the highest levels of success and fulfillment in your personal and professional life. Her goal is to guide you to thrive in your personal and professional life. Learn more at www.LindaBinns.com
Note: While HSP itself is not an autoimmune condition, it is common for individuals with HSP to have autoimmune tendencies. Psychologist Elaine Aron coined the term highly sensitive person (HSP) to describe those with extra-sensitivity to various stimuli, and HSP varies from individual to individual. HSP is also known as people with sensory processing sensitivity. Sensory processing sensitivity is not considered an illness or diagnosis by Aron and other researchers. Instead, it is viewed as an evolved personality trait that can be advantageous in certain circumstances.
Those with a highly sensitive nature often exhibit an enhanced ability to sense potential dangers and subtle social cues that others might miss. A highly sensitive person (HSP) is more aware of their surroundings, such as smells, sounds, the emotions of others, and even the 'energy of the room.' This 'superpower' also makes them prone to overstimulation, fatigue, burnout, and exhaustion.

That’s just one of the questions we ask tonight’s guest, an expert in the field of clinical pain research, Dr. Afton Hassett, PsyD. She is the author of the new book Chronic Pain Reset: 30 Days of Activities, Practices, and Skills to Help You Thrive.
As a chronic pain researcher, Dr. Hassett noticed while studying established treatments for chronic pain and developing new approaches that exciting research discoveries rarely reach those who could benefit the most. Chronic pain affects nearly 50 million people in the U.S. alone. A recent study in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that new cases of chronic pain occur even more frequently than new cases of diabetes, hypertension, and depression. Just like autoimmune, chronic, or long-term pain affects all areas of one’s life, that’s why Dr. Hassett promotes a multipronged approach to pain self-management.
Research shows that simple, at-home changes, including effective and easy-to-implement habits such as paced breathing, easy sleep hacks, mindful walking, and even acts of kindness and gratitude, have been shown to reduce pain. Dr. Hassett shares with us a broader definition of chronic pain and how to implement several of her ’30-Days’ activities and strategies, including:
• How a pink Piggy Bank can change outcomes – yes, a real piggy bank…
• How the medical community defines chronic pain and how it relates to autoimmune conditions such as fibromyalgia and arthritis
• What neuroscience is now telling us about how our brain relates to pain
• How using the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy reduces long-term pain
• Why doing simple activities that you enjoy and make life feel worth living is an excellent way to decrease pain, plus much more…
About Our Guest: Viewed as a leader in the field of chronic pain and resilience, Dr. Afton L. Hassett, PsyD, is an Associate Professor and Director of Pain and Opioid Research in the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Michigan. She is a principal investigator at the Chronic Pain & Fatigue Research Center with research funding from the National Institutes of Health (NIH). She was the Keynote address at the 2023 Pain Consortium Symposium on Advances in Pain Research for the NIH.
Dr. Hassett and her book Chronic Pain Reset brings evidence-based strategies from research and academic medical settings directly to people who live with chronic pain with the hope that they will gain new tools to lead more rewarding lives with less pain. Learn more at https://aftonhassett.com/

Environmental crises can trigger powerful emotions and physical stressors, even when we are far away and safe. Dr. Jenny shares ways to cope and create resilience, plus
• Practical tips to reduce your exposure to environmental toxins,

Join us for an enlightening conversation with Sarah Peyton as she shares her latest work, The Antiracist Heart: A Self-Compassion and Activism Handbook, co-authored with Roxy Manning, Ph.D. Throughout my years of hosting The Autoimmune Hour, we've emphasized the importance of self-agency and self-advocacy, yet we've never really talked about how to be of service to those who may face obstacles due to systemic issues like racism and ableism.
According to Pew Research, "Less access to quality medical care is the top reason Black Americans see contributing to generally worse health outcomes for Black people in the U.S." (link below). It's crucial to acknowledge that everyone deserves equal care and respect, regardless of race, ethnicity, culture, ability, or life choices.
In this episode, we discuss how to become more aware of
• our implicit bias and unconscious tendencies,
• how to accompany our self-discovery with self-compassion,
• discovering ‘Do no harm’ vows and releasing unconscious contracts,
• recognizing and addressing racism and ableism and microaggressions, and more.
Our goal is to prioritize the health and well-being of all individuals by working towards a genuinely anti-racist world, including in healthcare. This is the first of two conversations with Sarah, and next month, Roxy Manning, Ph.D., will join us to discuss how to be empowered to identify what kind of antiracist conversation they want to have—for example, do they only want to be heard, or do they want to negotiate a change in policy?
More About Tonight's Guest: Sarah Peyton, Certified Trainer of Nonviolent Communication and neuroscience educator, integrates brain science and the use of resonant language to awaken and sustain self compassion, particularly in the face of such difficult issues like self-condemnation, self-disgust and self-sabotage. She teaches and lectures internationally and is the author of the Your Resonant Self book series. She is also the co-author alongside Roxy Manning, PhD of The Antiracist Heart: A Self-Compassion and Activism Handbook. Learn more at www.antiracistconversations.com and www.sarahpeyton.com

Did you know that you are probably being misunderstood by 84% of the people you encounter... including your healthcare professionals... Maybe you’ve said more than once, “I just wished I could get them to understand, get them to listen...”
This episode’s guests ask us to consider that, most likely, they are listening; it’s a mismatch of perception styles that keeps you from being understood. Understanding the six perception styles and how perception works can ease miscommunication and help you recognize your and their innate strengths.
Our guests, Clinical Psychologist Gary Jordan and Coach Lynda-Ross Vega, authors of the new book ‘Unlock the Power of Your Perception: Claim Your Natural Strengths, Reframe Your Weaknesses, Reshape Your Most Important Relationships’ share with us loads of easy communication and relationship 'hacks.'
Just some of the great 'hacks' and questions answered by Lynda-Ross and Gary answered are
• What are the common misconceptions about perception styles?
• Is there a link between perception style and well-being?
• How knowing your perception style can improve communication with your healthcare professionals.
• The impact different perception styles play in your relationships.
• And if perception style changes over time or is fixed?
Plus much more…
About Our Guests:
Lynda-Ross Vega, with over 35 years of experience in senior management and as a business owner/entrepreneur, Lynda-Ross is an expert at harnessing the power of perception to help individuals and organizations implement change, empower collaboration, and develop talent. Lynda-Ross began researching and applying styles theory tools early in her career. Her passion for identifying and focusing the right talent on the right task led to her collaboration with Dr. Gary Jordan, beginning in 1983, and their development of Perceptual Styles Theory™.
Gary Jordan, Ph.D., has over 40 years of experience in clinical psychology, behavioral assessment, individual development, and coaching. He earned his doctorate in clinical psychology from the California School of Professional Psychology-Berkeley in 1980. Always fascinated by theories about types and styles, Gary found none of the theories he studied integrated internal experience with observable behavior. Beginning with his doctoral dissertation and continuing through his years in private practice, he worked to create a practical, usable style theory based on perception.
In 1983 he joined forces with Lynda-Ross Vega, and together they created Perceptual Style Theory™. This revolutionary psychological assessment system provides the answers for people to tap into their natural strengths and find more meaning and satisfaction in life. Gary is an expert at helping people understand themselves and using that awareness to align their actions with their natural potential. Check out their website @ https://www.yourtalentadvantage.com/

So my attention was piqued when I was asked recently, “We brush our teeth and moisturize our skin daily, but what do we do for our eyes?” I had to be honest and say I hadn’t really thought about it...
I do know that Rheumatoid Arthritis and Lupus are just two autoimmune diseases that can affect your eyesight and lead to vision loss if left unchecked... so I asked my thought-provoking questioner to sit down with us and chat about eye care and autoimmune—'that questioner’ being the co-founder of MyCorneaCare.com and ophthalmic surgeon Dr. Jovi Bopari.
Dr. Jovi shares simple changes that relieved him from his struggle with eye problems. And we cover a lot of eye care tips in our time together, including Dry Eye Disease and the importance of eye care even as we sleep—especially when you have an autoimmune condition. He also gives us the answers to...
• When it’s just’ seasonal’ dry eye, Dry Eye Disease, or autoimmune-driven dry eyes?
• Do the blue-light-blocker glasses work, and how about sunglasses?
• How body inflammation, familiar to those with autoimmune, can lead to eye dryness, sensitivity to light, blurred vision, and other eye ailments,
• And the surprising sleep habits we all need to protect our eyes while we sleep and much more...
More About Our Guest: Ophthalmologist and Ophthalmic Surgeon Dr. Jovi Boparai is passionate about educating patients and the world about the importance of personal eye care and Dry Eye Disease.
The daily habits of increased screen time for work and personal use, seasonal allergies, contact lens use, and notable side effects of several oral medications have led to a rise in Dry Eye Disease. It’s estimated that between 16 million and 49 million Americans have dry eyes. Now that’s not all autoimmune related, but that 16-49 million is about 5-15% of the US population.

After 25 years of suffering from multiple autoimmune conditions that affected your guest's energy, skin, hair, and joints, VJ Hamilton's finally found her answer(s) and her calling.
First diagnosed with alopecia areata in childhood, VJ endured many years of very visible autoimmune conditions, including alopecia, psoriasis, and eczema. After decades of enduring various symptoms and ill health, she was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue—another 'problem' to add to the growing list. Determined not to let the ongoing multiple health problems become her 'fate' in life, VJ did an intense study into immunology and trained as a Nutritionist.
She finally uncovered the root cause of her issues and transformed her health — now living free of symptoms. She shares with us more of her own survivor-to-thriver story, plus she explains:
• How we have to think beyond food groups and look at the nutrients we need,
• Why and how food can trigger symptoms, including multiple skin issues,
• Why (in most cases) we don't need to throw out whole food groups such as 'no diary,' 'no nightshades,' etc.,
• The importance of individualized analysis and care and so much more...
More About Our Guest: VJ Hamilton VJ has a BSc in Biochemistry & Immunology, is a Registered Nutritional Therapist, and is a member of the Institute of Functional Medicine.
VJ now uses these same principles in her nutritional therapy clinic, The Autoimmunity Nutritionist, to help strong-willed women with autoimmune disease regain their strength and live a whole, symptom-free life.

I love to travel, thank goodness, because I have to travel for work... And after about three years off the travel treadmill, the world of going out and about, both for vaca and business, is open again. I was surprised at how every plane, bus, or train I was on recently was packed! And, even as a seasoned traveler, my recent trip was one surprise after another.
This week, I’m doing something a bit different… My friend Liberty Forrest and I are chatting about our recent experiences traveling with long-term conditions. Now, we can’t cover all the folly and foibles of traveling while ‘disabled.’ (I hate the term ‘disabled,’ yet that’s the label the travel industry seems to like to use.) But Liberty and I are giving it a go!
Listen in to our travel adventures and misadventures and the lessons we’ve learned, and I invite you to share your learnings and lessons of travel with an invisible illness with us in the comments section.
In our time together, Liberty and I share about why my cane is now “not a cane” and how my cane became 'headless' plus
• Our stories of travel disasters that we can now laugh about,
• Considerations for documentation on medications, medical devices, and symptoms,
• Ways to evaluate your medications, vaccinations, etc., and what might be legal or not at your destination,
• Thoughts on keeping ‘Murphys Law’ at bay, including the importance of pre-planning worst-case scenarios’… and so much more…
More about our Guest: Our guest, Liberty Forrest, is an award-winning author, speaker, and contributor to numerous informational publications, including Huffington Post. She is also a senior contributor at SportsEdTV. And, a lover of really dumb jokes and the creator of the “Witchy” cartoons.
Check out her articles over at Medium (https://medium.com/@libertyforrestauthor). And she has written numerous fiction and nonfiction books covering various topics.

Do you struggle to get your family, friends, or perhaps your medical professionals to listen? Do you cringe when you want to say no or discuss a volatile topic? And what about the conversations that feel polarized?
The majority of us sometimes relate to the above questions, I know I sure do. So I invited one of our most popular guests, Sarah Peyton, back on the show to talk about having difficult conversations—whether you have to deliver bad news, talk about complex topics, or are unsure what’s safe to talk about or not, Sarah’s gives us insights, including
• The skills and strength to say no, even when it is hard,
• Let go of expectations of what might have been,
• Ways to support yourself and others with the fascinating skill of “insistent with kindness,”
• How to be okay and connected with someone going through a tough time, plus so much more...
More About Our Guest: Sarah Peyton is the author of W.W. Norton’s Your Resonant Self, Your Resonant Self Workbook and Affirmations for Turbulent Times.
And she has a new program called Lightness When Things Are Difficult: NVC and Resonant Language Dialogue Skills starting next week, so time is of the essence if you'd like to attend. https://sarahpeyton.com/event/lightness-when-things-are-difficult-nvc-and-resonant-dialogue-skills/

WOWZA! I was blown away by where my chat with Dr. Shawne Duperon, the founder of Project Forgive and one of the world’s leading experts on forgiveness went. That’s right! Blown away…
And I am thrilled to welcome to The Autoimmune Hour my friend Dr. Shawne. In addition to Project Forgive, she founded ShawneTV; she is a winner of Six EMMY® awards, 28 EMMY® nominations, and her conflict resolution tool, The Apology (You’ll Never Receive)TM garnered the honor of a Nobel Peace Prize Nomination.
Why the topic of forgiveness? Current studies have linked past traumas to playing a part in specific immune dysfunction. It is an accepted standard that too much stress adds to inflammation—a common component in autoimmune diagnoses. And general population research shows prolonged anger, hostility, and bitterness are linked to health risks like depression and heart disease.
So, in our time together, Dr. Shawne shares many “juicy” thought-provoking truths and ideas, including
• Why forgiveness isn’t what most people think, and what it really is;
• Tips on knowing yourself, your needs, staying present, and letting go;
• The five stages of forgiveness (Hint, ‘forgive and forget’ isn’t one of them);
• Triggers, boundaries, and how the words we use can change outcomes,
Plus, her world-famous conflict resolution tool “The Apology (You’ll Never Receive)TM,” and much more.
More about our Guest: With a Ph.D. in Good Gossip Theory, Six EMMY® awards, 28 EMMY® nominations, and an organic social media reach topping 100 million per month, Dr. Shawne Duperon of ShawneTV is considered to be one of the most innovative and influential consultants and trainers on communication today. As a recognized TV producer, Dr. Shawne strengthens organizations with compelling and strategic messaging for Prime Time. She never imagined when she produced a 5-minute video on forgiveness, it would go viral, attract the attention of worldwide media coverage, inspire global leaders such as Archbishop Desmond Tutu, or even garner the honor of a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. And that’s precisely what happened.
Dr. Shawne continues to educate corporations, universities, governments, and entrepreneurs, on how to effectively communicate to increase engagement, retention, and strategic disruption in the workplace. Her progressive livestreams and virtual facilitations on forgiveness in leadership amplify inclusion, respect, and engagement. Dr. Shawne also consistently shares her journey of forgiveness after being molested as a child. She models a courageous ability to forgive the unforgivable and shares that ability by developing curriculum through evidence-based research and innovative tools.

In this episode, Nikki shares with us
• How even small changes in your nutrition can make a significant impact,
• How your environment can affect your fertility,
• What hormones have to do with your immune system, autoimmune and fertility,
• Tips to consider when trying for a family plus much more…

I woke up feeling 90 years old in the morning, and that was the good part of my day….” Today she’s taken all she is learning and sharing it as an award-winning writer, podcast host, and autoimmune warrior living a vital life with rheumatoid arthritis.

Are you down to a handful of foods and screaming, "I don't know what to eat!"
Now, we're not minimizing food sensitivities or allergies. I've got several severe ones myself, yet in my years of doing the show and meeting many in the autoimmune world, I've noticed a fair share, without testing, have thrown out whole food groups to the point where they are only eating a handful of foods — which is not healthy either.
Look, our nutrition needs are individual and nuanced. That's why I invited Amanda Mittman, MS, RDN, LDN, and founder of Happy Valley Nutrition, to help us explore why so many of those diagnosed with autoimmunity have disorganized, disordered eating patterns and many foods, including multiple food groups, are on their 'no-no' lists…
Amanda gets it. Her teen and early adult 'food rules' were neither attainable, sustainable, or, most importantly, healthy. Those 'food rules' led her to be diagnosed with disordered eating and orthorexia. (I've heard about other eating disorders, such as anorexia, yet I was unfamiliar with orthorexia. Orthorexia can be best described as an 'unhealthy focus on eating in a healthy way.')
Amanda reclaimed her relationship with food and has made it her calling to help others develop better relationships with themselves and what they eat. We explore a range of subjects, including negative mindsets that sustain disorganized, disordered eating and
• How to know if you have a fear of food(s),
• When does 'healthy' eating become unhealthy,
• How food fears, shame spirals, and grief keep us stuck,
• Why you should "un-indoctrinate your thinking that good health and a distinct body type are one in the same," plus so much more...
More About Our Guest: Amanda Mittman, MS, RDN, LDN, the founder of Happy Valley Nutrition, shared, "I know I am not alone. I am not the only person who has suffered the effects of shame and personal deprivation at the expense of the parts of my life that are truly important and bring me joy."
She has committed her practice to help people who have been through the wringer and are searching for an alternative way to live a fuller life without shame and self-abuse. Her company Happy Valley Nutrition brings compassionate, trauma-informed, weight-inclusive care to the Pioneer Valley (aka "Happy Valley"), Massachusetts, and beyond!

Ever feel like Eeyore? The grey donkey in the Winnie-the-Pooh books by A. A. Milne. Eeyore’s the ‘poor-me’ one, the pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, never-gonna-happen one…. I know I have from time to time, especially right before and after my diagnosis. Negative thinking, old beliefs that no longer serve us, and things like stuck emotions can contribute to problems such as social anxiety, depression, stress, low self-esteem, and even poor health outcomes.
Staying positive, upbeat, and thriving can feel like a day-to-day challenge; that’s why I invited Dr. Charryse Johnson, LCMHC, NCC, author of the best-selling book ‘Expired Mindsets: Releasing Patterns That No Longer Serve You Well’ to share with us her thriving autoimmune story and how we too can change those negative thoughts that ooze up into helpful and even empowering thoughts and actions to live our best life yet.
Together, let’s explore the intersection of non-judgment, self-witness, and mindfulness with what the negative thoughts and other disempowering symptoms are trying to tell us. Dr. Charryse shares that the key to changing our negative thoughts is to understand how we think, the unempowering thoughts we may hold (and the problems that result), then use success strategies to
• Stop negative self-talk and non-helpful habits,
• Replace thoughts, patterns, and behaviors that no longer serve us,
• Let go of the common habit(s) that are holding us back,
• Become aware of how our thoughts are impacting our emotions and behaviors,
•Practice self-compassion, understanding, giving ourselves space and grace to recover, and much more…
More About Our Guest: Dr. Charryse Johnson, LCMHC, NCC, is a veteran psychotherapist, #1 bestselling author, and mindfulness practitioner whose work focuses on the intersection of trauma, somatic integration, spirituality, and social justice. She is the author of ‘Expired Mindsets: Releasing Patterns That No Longer Serve You Well,’ and is the founder of Jade Integrative Counseling and Wellness, an integrative therapy practice where personal values, the search for meaning, and the power of choice are the central focus.

Are you tired of being told it's all in your head, or your tests all come back normal, and you still feel like cr*p...? Maybe you are having symptoms like food or environmental sensitivities, unresolved aches, pain, and fatigue... or skin rashes, nerve problems, racing heart, headaches, or feeling like every part of you is on overload?
We welcome back Dr. Anne Hill, ND., to answer questions about the rise of MCAS and other tough-to-diagnosis conditions. She specializes in functional medicine and other medical modalities to uncover 'mystery' chronic illnesses. On average, people come to her after seeing ten or more physicians, have multiple diagnoses (or NO working diagnosis), and are still sick with no answers.
She's found that many of her patients with chronic conditions also have MCAS. That's why we invited Dr. Anne Hill back to answer our questions like —
• What is a mast cell, and what 'activates' it,
• How to know if it's MCAS or something else,
• What type of doctor is best to treat you,
• How environmental factors, like mold and food sensitivities, create ill health,
• Plus much more...
More About Our Guest: Dr. Anne Hill, ND, shares her 20-plus years of research and experience in treating chronic infectious diseases such as chronic viral, tick-borne diseases, and environmental illnesses such as mycotoxins and mold exposure. She also sees patients with autoimmune disorders, Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, EDS, Dysautonomia, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.

(Or Healing is an Inside Job...)
Fasten your seat belt for a fascinating romp through the question what does ‘to be healed’ actually mean? and other intriguing life questions.
In this episode, we chat with Ed Cohen, author of 'On Learning to Heal, or What Medicine Doesn’t Know.’ His book has been described as “memoir-cum-medical philosophy,” which I think sums it up nicely.
A favorite quote from this thought-provoking book is, “Learning to heal does not necessarily require us to know how we heal, but it does require that we desire to heal and that we actively value this possibility.”
In our time together, Ed shares with us how he overcame a decades-long autoimmune struggle, starting at thirteen when he was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease. At that impressionable age, his doctors told him that the best he could hope for was periods of remission. Unfortunately, they never mentioned healing as a possibility. His new book was borne out of his lifetime of seeking answers to heal himself. He shares with us how he has come to understand the transformative power of illness and dis-ease, plus a few of the lessons he’s learned along the way, including
• Why knowing “what’s wrong with us” and how to “fix it” might not help,
• How discovering new meanings and possibilities for your life is essential,
• Regardless of the quality of external care, healing doesn’t come from outside of us. And so much more...
More About Our Guest: Ed Cohen draws on fifty years of living with Crohn’s to consider how Western medicine’s turn from an “art of healing” toward a “science of medicine” deeply affects medical practitioners and their patients. His latest book explores his path to healing, arguing that learning to heal requires us to desire and value healing as an essential possibility.
In addition to being an author, Ed Cohen is a Professor at Rutgers University and maintains a therapeutic practice for people interested in healing. Learn more at healingcounsel.com.

Finding love and companionship is difficult enough; add an autoimmune, chronic disease, or disability to the mix, and it can make dating downright disappointing. That’s why, when I heard about the new app Dateability and the ‘brains-behind-it,’ I got them on the show immediately!
The ‘brains’ are the amazing entrepreneurial duo (and sisters) Jacqueline and Alexa Child. These two inspiring women have turned Jacqueline’s sour experiences of finding companionship while dealing with disability and chronic illness into a new dating app called Dateability. It is designed for the disabled and chronically ill communities to have a safe and accepting space to develop meaningful connections.
Even after years of discouraging ableist experiences on mainstream dating apps, I know you will find Jacqueline and Alexa as uplifting as I do. Join us as we chat about navigating friendship, love, and the entrepreneurial life, including their story of why this is their passion project, literally and figuratively.
Just some of what they share is
• The importance of staying positive and surrounding yourself with positive people
• How to advocate for yourself and others from a place of empathy and strength,
• How new tools can create significant opportunities for connection, community, friendship, love, and much more...
More About Our Guests: Alexa Child, co-founder of Dateability, graduated from Georgetown Law in 2015 and currently works as a public interest attorney. Through witnessing her sister’s experience with disability, Alexa has become an advocate and ally for the disability community. She is passionate about social justice, enjoys TV and film, and loves all things Halloween.
Jacqueline Child, co-founder of Dateability, has turned her experience with disability and chronic illness into a new venture. She created Dateability with her sister after years of discouraging ableist experiences on mainstream dating apps. Jacqueline enjoys playing the guitar, reading, and volunteering at the local animal shelter when she isn’t managing her health. Learn more at https://info.dateabilityapp.com/

Sleep problems are not exclusive to those of us experiencing autoimmune. It’s estimated that around 70 million people in the US alone suffer from sleep disorders. So I don’t have to tell you that lack of sleep affects our overall well-being, including clear thinking, work performance, weight gain, and the part little to no sleep play in the development of many disorders and disease.
In this episode, Dr. Jenny Tufenkian, a Naturopathic Physician and Functional Medicine Educator who teaches patients, students, and physicians to increase their understanding of complex chronic diseases, shares surprising causes of why we can’t sleep and how to solve them. For example:
What to do if you’re great at falling asleep but can’t stay asleep,
* How lack of sleep creates havoc in the brain, including brain inflammation,
* How what you do when you first wake up will impact that night’s sleep
* Ways to create simple, ‘sweet’ sleep routines that start way before bedtime, such as when you eat, light exposure, and overseeing your circadian rhythm.
* We even talk about latent viruses, including cvid, and how they can affect our sleep, plus so much more…
More About Our Guest: Dr. Jenny Tufenkian knows autoimmune; she has struggled with chronic fatigue syndrome – it’s taken her down twice, 17 years apart. She shares, “though it was miserable at the time, I now see it as a blessing, both for the insights those experiences gave me and for my transition to a completely healthy life. She has been a practicing naturopathic doctor for over 20 years, focusing on helping the chronically ill return to total health. Dr. Jenny, as we lovingly call her, taught at the National College of Naturopathic Medicine and now owns a naturopathic clinic where she serves as its head doctor.

In my healing journey, I’ve discovered that it wasn’t just one thing that got me to my diagnosis, and it’s not one thing that will get me out. If your previous attempts at healing have only partially succeeded, or worse, failed, this week’s guest, Jessica Jimison, Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner and Co-Founder of Origins Collaborative Care PLLC, shares with us some reasons why. In our time together, which isn’t nearly enough, we talk about:
• Could your body’s neural pathways to calmness, safety, and connection be dysregulated?
• Are your Mast Cells reeling from unknown stressors part of the problem?
• Tips for rewiring your nervous system and ways to keep the autonomic_nervous_system calm(er,)
• How to make peace with your body in its current state and ways to improve, and so much more...
More About Our Guest: Jessica Jimison, Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner and Co-Founder of Origins Collaborative Care PLLC, loves the blending of science and education that is being a nurse practitioner, working with individuals and families, meeting people where they are, and empowering them to understand and improve their health.
This mission started after an exciting summer on a fish-processing boat in Alaska at age 19 was ended with a closed head injury, and the lengthy recovery set Jessica in motion to enter the health field. After ten years as a Primary Care provider, she found Functional Medicine, became an IFMCP (Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner) in 2018, and found her passion in complex, chronic inflammatory illness.
In 2021, she and Micaela Giles co-founded Origins Collaborative Care PLLC (OCC), primarily focused on identifying and addressing causes of imbalance rather than the effects and less on diagnoses. Their goal is physical healing, so OCC is taking a bold (r)Evolutionary leap by incorporating regulation of the Autonomic Nervous System into every treatment plan.

Join us for a heartfelt, raw, authentic account of a family’s eight-month-long nightmare that resulted in a mother’s unfortunate death from ovarian cancer. In this episode, you’ll meet Melissa Mullamphy, a self-described “insufferable a**hole” when she wants to get things done... She is now a woman on a mission to help people navigate a convoluted and complicated healthcare system.
When I was introduced to Melissa, her journey intrigued me. She shared, “During my mother’s cancer diagnosis and treatment, I saw first-hand the failures of a broken medical system—a system full of good people working in a critically deficient framework.” I could relate.
During our chat, she passionately shares from her memoir, ‘Not in Vain, a Promise Kept,’ an unflinching chronicle of loss and a real-life look at her family’s medical torment; just some of what she shares is:
• Practical, actionable advice for patients, families, and loved ones to get the care they deserve,
• How to facilitate communication and cooperation at all healthcare levels,
• Simple ways to advance person-centered care for everyone facing a severe illness, whether they are the patient or caregiver, and much more...
More About Our Guest: Melissa Mullamphy is a clinical psychologist, healthcare advocate, and critically acclaimed author of ‘Not in Vain: A Promise Kept.’ After her mother’s passing, Melissa made it her mission to educate others on patients’ rights to quality, timely information, including understanding their healthcare rights.

She headed up various non-profit events and organizations before turning to the corporate world and working as Domestic Operations Manager for one of Warren Buffet’s companies for nearly two decades. Putting it all on hold to help her mother during her cancer diagnosis and treatment, she saw first-hand the failures of a broken medical system. She has since turned her advocacy to authorship, including hundreds of articles discussing ways to improve healthcare systems and patient care and her memoir, ‘Not in Vain: A Promise Kept.’ More about Melissa Mullamphy can be found at www.melissamullamphy.com.

“It brought me home to myself” was one of many insights this week’s guest shared with me, your host Sharon Sayler, during my chat with Christine Powers, founder of The Philosophers Camp and Spiritual Consigliere to thought leaders worldwide.
Together we share our experiences on the healing power of surrender and the other insights and ‘ahas’ she received after her odyssey of first finding the correct diagnosis and then her long, ongoing healing journey.
In the fall of 2020, she got very sick. It took six months, two biopsies, three hospital stays, multiple MRIs and CT scans, bloodwork every week, eight specialists, and three months in pajamas staring at the mountains to finally receive from an outside specialist the diagnosis of long-term Lyme disease and Tularemia.*
Christine shares with us what she has discovered along the way, including that going back to the ‘old way’ she used to move through the world was no longer the way for her plus
• How you must be your own advocate, see through gaslighting, and not give up
• Ways to empower yourself through the ‘brutal truth,’ humility and self-compassion
• The miracle of surrendering to what is without resistance, why surrender is not quitting or rolling over, and so much more...

We welcome Lee Tomlinson, the author of Compassion Heals: From Self-care to Healthcare. He’s also affectionately known as Patient Lee from his TED Talk, where he wowed his audience with more than showing up in a patient gown.

When everyone else gave up, this week’s guest Noah Hammond Tyrrell went to “work.” Noah, a spiritual life & business coach, got a call that no one ever wants… his father had been diagnosed with terminal liver cancer. Noah heard the resignation in everyone’s voices—doctors, family, even his dad. But that’s when Noah went to work…
He went home and dug into the trainings he’d taken in the prior years with a natural healer "who’d cured thousands using ancient wisdom." Noah reviewed other wellness approaches he’d studied, including the benefits of juicing, the use of cannabis—particularly hemp oils, and other ‘natural’ modalities. Before long, Noah was gently coercing his reluctant father to drink massive amounts of beet and carrot juice, along with taking hemp oil capsules. Noah says, “then the miracle happened; not only did dad learn to love the protocol, but the tumor began to shrink, and soon it was gone!” The doctors are mystified—but not Noah and his family.
The following month, Noah and his wife launched a company named in honor of the fact that dad was now “feeling good….” Today, the Feel Good Hemp company (FeelGoodHemp.org) focuses on educating people about hemp oil and selling (Hemp) CBD oil products to support wellness and a peaceful state of mind.* They also launched the Feel Good Library, a free platform full of empowering courses, because, as Noah says, “After an experience like this one, the career life coach in me couldn’t help but give back. We offer all these courses and techniques for self-help and self-healing because YOUR power to heal is immense and not to be underestimated!” (FeelGoodLibrary.com).
In our time together, Noah shares learnings from his library, including the “7 Levels of Change,” a framework to access your inner power and live life to the fullest! And,
• The remarkable impact of one person’s actions in the face of everyone’s resignation to a medical diagnosis
• The possible benefits of CBD hemp oils and how to find the best products for your needs
• The power of HOPE and the natural healing abilities of the body when supported in a natural way and a resource with simple free courses to support your wellness and well-being.

Have you ever thought about your legacy? I know some people think that can be a bit grim, but since my diagnosis, I’ve been thinking a lot about creating my legacy before time runs out... And, I see a strong association between legacy and patient advocacy. Maybe like you, I must make meaning of what life has thrown my way.
Now, I’m passionate about others not having to experience autoimmune and wanting others to optimize their health 'before it's too late.' So when my friend Susie Briscoe released her latest book, “Ascension to Legacy: How to Live Your Legacy in Your Lifetime,” I asked her to share with us what she’s learned about legacy. Susie first defines it for us "...legacy is something you create during your lifetime with the sole idea of benefiting generations who will follow you, whether in your immediate family or whether you broaden your horizons with the intention to benefit humanity.”
In this episode, she reflects on her experiences of:
• The multiple ways to reassess your life,
• How to uncover the kind of legacy you want to be remembered for?
• How to be your best self by looking at the light and shadows,
• Her own and others developing their passion(s) into legacy,
plus so much more...
More about our guest: Susie Briscoe, Chair of Acer Coaching Associates
International Business & Legacy Mentor and author of the International Best Seller “Colour Your Legacy” and “Ascension to Legacy: How to Live Your Legacy in Your Lifetime.”
Susie has identified ‘Leading Legacy’ work as a significant part of her passion. She works with people who still have an empty feeling inside themselves for whatever reason and finds a way to give back to the world while recognizing the importance of not wasting time the clock continues to tick.
Susie shares, “My main buzz is helping women entrepreneurs understand their life purpose in such a way as to Live their Legacy as they walk through their life… moving them from a life of success to one of significance.”

When your doctor prescribes medication, they say something like, “It will be ready at the pharmacy, your insurance will cover it, and the pharmacist will help you understand the dosing.” Great! Yet, what about the behavioral-change prescriptions (advice) you are given, such as exercise more, eat better, and reduce stress?
Too often, the doctor gives you behavioral-change ‘prescriptions’ and says, “Good luck. See you in 6 months.” Leaving you with thoughts like ‘well, that sounds good, but how do I start?’ Or ‘I thought I was eating properly?’ Without the right behavioral-change setting, these types of behavioral prescriptions, while well-intended, go no-where.
Our guest has co-created a solution to ease the implementation of those behavioral-prescriptions. Elizabeth Markle, Ph.D., is co-founder of Open Source Wellness, a nonprofit place-based space offering experiential behavioral health and wellness. She shares with us this powerful wellness model designed to function as a ‘Behavioral Pharmacy.’
Open Source Wellness’ mission is community-as-medicine. They strive to leverage the power of a community to transform health outcomes by preventing and reversing chronic disease through a clinically-proven, low-cost, long-lasting behavior change program. Dr. Markle shares many of the techniques Open Source Wellness clients have implemented to create successful behavioral change, including tips on the ‘big-four’ behavioral prescriptions:
- Exercise more
- Eat Better
- Reduce your stress
- Get some social support plus so many great implementation and success strategies for well-being….

As a board-certified naturopath and designer of customized anti-inflammatory diets, Dr. Yarnell runs a nationwide food therapy clinic to help people discover the specific foods that not only taste good but make them feel good, too.

During our chat, Karen Noe shares with us tips and techniques from these ’truths’ to help us heal our body, mind, and spirit, such as.
How to create your own miracles.
How to focus on solutions, and turn on the inner healing light.

While we work hard to restore our health, many things in our home environment can be working against our immune system. Many store-bought cleaning products, personal care, and cosmetics contain listed and even unlisted ingredients that can be highly toxic.
In this episode of The Autoimmune Hour, host Sharon Sayler welcomes Sharon McRill, founder, and president of The Betty Brigade, an Ann Arbor-based organization, and relocation company that is a leader in recycling while downsizing and cleaning with nontoxic alternatives.
Two weeks after turning 50, Sharon McRill was diagnosed with pulmonary embolisms in both lungs. She was put in an ICU and placed on blood thinners for 3 months after that. This was her wake up call that we are not always making great decisions for ourselves and doctors don't have all the answers. She began exploring healthy alternatives to seasonal stuffiness, lack of sleep, mood swings and even simple remedies for headaches. Now Sharon has detoxed her home and has made huge switches in her own decisions in what goes on her skin and in her body.
She will share us how to keep toxins out of our home and how to make non-toxic cleaners and personal care products that work just as well and often even better including the two things you need to STOP using right now! I was surprised, and I know you will be too…

“Your eyes are the windows to your soul — the key to ‘seeing the light’ that expands your consciousness, allowing you to experience greater presence and aliveness than ever before.” That’s the premise in Dr. Jacob Israel Liberman’s new book ‘Luminous Life: How the Science of Light Unlocks the Art of Living’ and our intriguing philosophical chat on this episode of The Autoimmune Hour.
Join Sharon Sayler, host of The Autoimmune Hour when she explores with Dr. Jacob Liberman how vision, light, beliefs and your reaction change physical effects including healing. You will discover how the eyes can see beyond the corporeality and how by "allowing the ‘light’ that attracts you to focus your eyes and attention, you too can experience true ‘presence.”’ Dr. Liberman will also fascinate us with how:
Every function of the body is guided by and dependent upon light.Our receptivity to light impacts our health and relationships on every level.A series of simple exercises can help us live more effortlessly in “the zone.”
Plus so much more….

Did you know every emotion has a sound and has a resonant energy signature or vibration that flows through us? Yet, sometimes emotions that can be difficult to immediately resolve such as shame, blame, fear, anger, impatience, resentment, confusion… can get ‘stuck!’ When that happens, we lose our connection to that place of peace and ease often leading to physical dis-ease.
Join your host for The Autoimmune Hour Sharon Sayler when she welcomes Sharon Carne, author of Listen from the Inside Out, and founder of Sound Wellness. Sharon will share with us immediately useful self-care and emotional healing processes using sound healing.
Sharon Carne has seen spectacular healing and shifts in her clients using her Sound Wellness processes. She invites us to consider “…when your voice can match the sound of an emotion; it creates an unwinding that allows the pain and emotion to dissipate — much like the soprano breaks a wine glass with her voice. Sound is such a great tool because human beings are wired for sound from our atoms to our energetic networks! At the quantum level, we ARE music!”
She is a faculty member of The Conservatory at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Alberta since 1988. And is the founder of Sound Wellness, whose programs are at the forefront of education in how sound and music can be easily applied to your everyday life - to reduce stress, help you concentrate, energize you, support your health and inspire you.

Now is the time to be gentle with yourself – but how?
Great question! — which is why I invited our community’s wise, uplifting and always awe-inspiring Sarah Peyton to share with us ways we can reground our self in what really matters.

Let’s talk about the stories we tell our selves. Who am I? is the most important story you can tell yourself.

Too often a diagnosis of an autoimmune causes us to close in and close down. The diagnosis can develop a “life-of-its-own” and cause our mind and body to live in anxiety, loss and stress. It’s all too common that an autoimmune condition brings with it overwhelm, mistrust and grief for what was and fear of what’s next. Sharon Sayler, host of The Autoimmune Hour and Sonia Trejo from the Alchemy of Hope and Healing explore how the process of letting go can accelerate healing.
How to release ancient attachments that no longer serve you
How not to become attached to the trauma of it all
How to deal with the fear and anxiety of the diagnosis
Sonia Trejo is a certified Health and Wellness Coach, patient advocate and a Master Core Energy Leadership Coach. She is also a certified Pilates instructor, a certified personal trainer.

"One-way thinking" is often where the problem starts, says our guest Alan Eisenberg.“I’m sick and I’ll always be sick” is a type of "one-way thinking."
It’s an easy mind trap to fall into. You may have heard your doctor give you a “pronouncement” of “You have “X” and you will always have it - so get use to it!” like I did…. This trap as well as others is important to know, as your healing, no matter if you heal a little or a lot, often begins in what you believe about your self and your ability to heal. All too often, it’s those difficult feelings, thoughts and emotions that are often right under the surface of our public facade that create a lifetime of hardship that doesn't have to be. It can even make illness worse!
If this sounds like you or someone you know, join us as Sharon Sayler, your host for The Autoimmune Hour on Life Interrupted Radio for his episode's special guest Alan Eisenberg from BullyingRecovery.org.

• how the ‘child-brain’ can keep us sick,
• how to overcome ‘chronic fight or flight’

Why just because you don’t test positive for celiac disease doesn’t mean you aren’t sensitive to gluten. Why removing all grains (and certain other foods) can eliminate chronic pain once and for all.
Dr. Peter Osborne founded Gluten Free Society in 2010 to help educate patients and physicians on the far reaching effects of gluten sensitivity. He is the author of Glutenology, a series of books designed to help educate the world about gluten. His latest book No Grain, No Pain: A 30-Day Diet for Eliminating Chronic Pain — For Life. He has helped thousands of patients recover from mysterious medical illnesses. Learn more about Dr. Osborne and “No Grain, No Pain” at www.NoGrainNoPainBook.com

Silence is a tricky “little devil.” Silence can save a relationship or ruin it… It can save your life or complicate it…. Silence is a choice. The choice is when does it help and when does it hurt? (Especially when it's around our health....)
If we refuse to communicate what we feel, what we need or want others to know, for a variety of reasons, including wondering if others will think we are “nuts,”we must look at the question; “Are we making a choice to sabotage our physical and mental health by remaining silent or speaking up? Tricky indeed…!
That’s why Sharon Sayler, host of Life Interrupted Radio invited stress-relief and communications expert Christine Wright, MA from www.StressFreeNow.info to share her insights on:
How to know when silence is hurting you and how to speak upWays to make it safe for yourself and others to say the truthHow holding feelings in your body can hurt your healthKnow that “No” is a choice and how to set good boundariesEasy ways to get over your fear of asking for what you need

Today's Life Interrupted Radio's guest Judy van Niekerk points out, it’s not just about leaving a legacy, it’s about creating a living legacy. Judy’s life story could have turned out so different. Yet, she didn’t let a life of childhood torture stop her.
Years ago, after waking up from yet another “overdose coma,” Judy had a “major light-bulb moment” where she discovered “What she was here to do.” She garnered up the courage to share her gifts and captured global media attention, including The BBC, RTE and Cosmopolitan and many others. This one act of courage, where she courageously shared her story of sexual abuse from her father caused the reporting of sexual assault in Ireland to increased by 75%.
Today, Judy is committed to making a difference based on what she learned by surviving her traumatic childhood challenges. She now works tirelessly to empower people to love and honor themselves regardless of what happened in their lives.
Her latest revolution is to empower women through “The Digital Bra,” a revolutionary hi-tech solution to a serious problem for women around the world by making customized bras for women irrespective of their shape and size. "Women deserve the perfect fit!" Judy shared that “The Digital Bra (www.thedigitalbra.com) is not just a high-tech innovation. It allows women to finally embrace and love their bodies just like Judy learned to do as she discovered how to capitalize from her challenges." Judy will share with us:
• How to survive, move through and THRIVE,
• How to connect to your greater self to find your gifts,
• How to create a permanent state of inspiration, compassion and self love.
Listen to Judy’s truly inspirational story of courage, championing and conquering.

Back by popular demand an ENCORE PRESENTATION!
Life Interrupted Radio is about finding and living your gifts. Join Sharon Sayler, host of Life Interrupted Radio when she chats with a personal guide of hers, Bev Martin on how you can successfully follow your heart and create the life of her dreams. Bev grew up in Southern Africa, experiencing first-hand the contrasts of the first and third worlds, side by side AND trying to fit in somewhere....
As a young girl, Bev realized she could talk with family members who had passed onto the next life and felt deeply the emotions of those around her. She didn’t know it was “odd” until people around her had no answers except to say “this is one weird kid!” As she grew up, she tried hard to fit-in until one day, a revered African healer and wisdom keeper named her, in Zulu, “Eldest Daughter of Light.” Several experiences led Bev to set out to trust something greater and overcome fear to live her true calling.
Today, Bev’s deepest joy is to give people who are hungry for greater meaning and spiritual solutions, access to the answers within themselves — and the feeling of deep satisfaction that comes from connecting with their thoughts, wisdom and true ideas and we welcome her to Life Interrupted Radio to discover how we too can live our gifts.

Can you imagine as a child not understanding why the world doesn’t understand you…? I can, maybe that’s why I gravitated to Michael Grinder’s work twenty+ years ago.
In this episode Michael Grinder gives us a crash course in how to communicate… he will share important body language and nonverbal skills that develop your power of influence regardless of your background or limitations.
A bit about Michael— he will be the first to admit he wasn’t an easy child… yet during those early days struggling with learning disabilities he developed a multitude of “coping-skills” including a profound and deep understanding of nonverbal communication and how to predict with astonishing accuracy what people will do next.
He went on to make those "coping skills" his life work and become the world-renowned expert in the science of non-verbal communication, non verbal leadership, group dynamics, advanced relationship building and commanding the stage presentation skills.
Even after 20+ years, Michael’s insights continue to teach me about others and myself at a deeper level. So fasten your seat belts and prepare to be amazed. Learn more at www.MichaelGrinder.com
Oh no, ‘zombie-feelings!’ Those feelings that we bury deep down inside…. Yet, when we bury feelings, they are almost always buried alive...and like a ‘zombie’ they will rise to ‘haunt’ us at the most inopportune time(s). Often when someone is bullied, the resulting difficult feelings, thoughts and emotions are often right under the surface of our public facade and create a lifetime of hardship that doesn't have to be.
Today's guest on Life Interrupted Radio is Alan Eisenberg from BullyingRecovery.org. He shares with us how his own recovery from bullying led him to start Bullying Recovery, LLC, a company devoted to helping those who suffer from the long-term effects of bullying like Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD), anxiety and depression.

What the other “F” word can tell you when you listen….
This week’s episode of Life Interrupted Radio is about fear, secrets, shame, guilt and our resistance to change even when we know the odds of getting our outcome is in our favor if we'd only take action. The last thing I want in life is to look back and say "If only...." What about you?
Look, we are half way through the year — are you where you thought you would be? I’m not…
If you're not either, could that 4-letter word “fear” be stopping you?
If you even get a tiny twinge of “Well, maybe…” I encourage you to join me, Sharon Sayler, host of Life Interrupted Radio when I chat with Life Interrupted Radio's resident Health, Wellness and Life Coach Roberta Mittman on overcoming those fears that are keeping you stuck.
Roberta’s always shares compelling "mind-vitamins" with us and tonight's episode is no different. We look forward to once again hearing from the leader of a “quiet” revolution for women over 40 and her passion to spread the word that it’s never too late to attain the life (and body) you want.

You can change your story….
This week’s episode of Life Interrupted Radio is about secrets, misplaced shame and coming through it all to live your gifts and bring light into the world. When I first met our guest she had me laughing with the quote; “it takes a lot of energy to be miserable…” it sure does, that’s why I encourage you to join me, Sharon Sayler, host of Life Interrupted Radio when I interview Dr. Anita Sanchez.
Dr. Sanchez was born into a large family (120 first cousins) and she is proud of her Mexican American and Native American cultures. Today, she bridges her extensive knowledge of indigenous wisdom with modern leadership skills to bring together the hearts and minds of the leaders she works with.
Anita grew up with a life full of secrets, as she shares, “feeling like I was living two lives.” As a young girl, Anita realized that despite growing up surrounded by violence and feeling shame and guilt as only a little child can carry, she knew it was an illusion that it was two lives…it was her life!
Anita’a deepest passion is to share with you how to:
• listen with the “softest part of your ear,”
• guide the words you put to the wind,
• lead with the natural gifts you are given,
AND create a “magical” transformation of the hearts and heads of those around you.

This week’s episode of Life Interrupted Radio is about living your gifts. Join Sharon Sayler, host of Life Interrupted Radio when she chats with a personal guide of hers, Bev Martin. Bev grew up in Southern Africa, experiencing first-hand the contrasts of the first and third worlds, side by side AND trying to fit in somewhere....
As a young girl, Bev realized she could talk with family members who had passed onto the next life and felt deeply the emotions of those around her. She didn’t know it was “odd” until people around her had no answers except to say “this is one weird kid!” As she grew up, she tried hard to fit-in until one day, a revered African healer and wisdom keeper named her, in Zulu, “Eldest Daughter of Light.” Several experiences led Bev to set out to trust something greater and overcome fear to live her true calling.
Today, Bev’s deepest joy is to give people who are hungry for greater meaning and spiritual solutions, access to the answers within themselves — and the feeling of deep satisfaction that comes from connecting with their thoughts, wisdom and true ideas and we welcome her to Life Interrupted Radio to discover how we too can live our gifts.

Have a cookie you’ll feel better as you join me, Sharon Sayler, host of Life Interrupted Radio as I welcome Jill Fischer CEO of Mind Reset Hypnotherapy to the show. On this episode of Life Interrupted Radio Jill and I share:
How to change your thinking about food,
How to stop soothing and squashing our emotions with food
How to breakthrough what’s stopping you from taking control of your weight.
Jill's Life Interrupted Breakthrough Moment came in 2005. It was at that time “in trying to make everything okay” that she saw how she was enabling destructive behavior from others and soothing her hurt feelings and raw emotions with food.
In a light bulb moment she recognized that the “current” limits of her life were directly correlated to the limits of her thinking – and most importantly, that she could create new thinking. Now, she helps others reset their thinking and behaviors.
Join us to take that first step now because no matter where you are, you don’t have to stay stuck. I know Jill’s story will inspire you that you have a brighter future waiting for you. It’s time to reset your mind!

Change is not always easy; in fact, often it’s downright difficult. Not only are we creatures of habit, but when life interrupts we can feel out of control. It’s at those times when everything feels out of control that our guest Bonita Lehmann, author of Saving Her. Saving Me., says it’s time to reevaluate, refocus and reframe your choices.
She shares her personal struggles to cope with a chronically ill child and how she learned to be present in the moment, grounded and centered.
Sharon and Bonita will share how to train your mind to understand that YOU are in charge of how you behave, feel, and think.
If you want more out of your life, forget your life-interruptions and roadblocks and make the time to build new habits to get both physically and mentally strong.
