NotYourOrdinaryParts: Recent Episodes
Jalon Johnson
Welcome to Not Your Ordinary Parts. This podcast is an outward expression of my deep internal work that I felt compelled to share with anyone willing to listen. What I want to be conveyed most is relatability; I am an everyday guy trying to share the things I've learned on my journey being a flawed human. There will be mistakes, I'll be nervous, I might fumble my words, but maybe, just maybe.... I'll help someone because I was willing to be vulnerable. If you find anything here helpful, please share it.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me. While therapy can provide so much relief, finding a therapist can feel so daunting. BetterHelp, the sponsor of today’s video, has done so much to make finding a therapist and starting therapy so much easier! BetterHelp is the world's largest online therapy platform whose mission is making professional therapy accessible, affordable, and convenient - so anyone who struggles with life's challenges can get help.

Dr. Jennifer Freyd is a world-renowned psychologist, researcher, and author whose groundbreaking work has reshaped our understanding of trauma, memory, and betrayal. Dr. Freyd is Professor Emerit of Psychology at the University of Oregon, Affiliate Professor of Psychology and Affiliate Professor of Gender, Women & Sexuality Studies at the University of Washington, and Founder and President of the Center for Institutional Courage. Over the past four decades, Dr. Freyd has been at the forefront of studying how the people and institutions we trust the most can cause the deepest harm and, more importantly, how we can heal from it. As an internationally recognized expert on Betrayal Trauma Theory, Dr. Freyd has revealed how our minds adapt to survive when those closest to us - parents, partners, mentors, institutions, etc., betray our trust. Her research has revolutionized the way we understand trauma responses, showing that forgetting, denial, and even self-blame can be coping mechanisms rather than signs of weakness. Dr. Freyd as founder and president of the Center for Institutional Courage, has shed light on Institutional Betrayal; how organizations, workplaces, and systems protect abusers and silence survivors instead of standing for justice. Dr. Freyd's work provides not just a diagnosis of these failures, but a blueprint for courage, integrity, and real systemic change. Her book, Betrayal Trauma: delves into the complex and often hidden world of betrayal trauma, explaining why survivors so often struggle to name their experiences and why healing requires more than just remembering, it requires breaking through the silence and reclaiming self-trust. Through her work, Dr. Freyd has given language to pain that had none, validated the experiences of countless survivors, and proven that even in the face of betrayal, whether personal or institutional, healing is possible, justice is worth fighting for, and courage is contagious.

Dr. Joanna Moncrieff is a psychiatrist, professor, author, and one of the most fearless and influential thinkers in modern mental health. For over thirty years, Dr. Moncrieff has stood at the center of psychiatry, not to defend it blindly, but to question its foundations, to hold it accountable, and to tell the truth; even when the truth was inconvenient. She is a Professor of Critical and Social Psychiatry at University College London, a consultant psychiatrist in the UK’s National Health Service, and the co-founder of the Critical Psychiatry Network - a global collective of psychiatrists challenging the chemical narratives that have shaped and distorted our understanding of mental illness for decades. For years, we’ve been told that depression is caused by a “chemical imbalance,” that our despair is a disorder, and that our suffering is a malfunction; but Dr. Moncrieff has spent her life asking the question most were too afraid to ask: “What if we got this wrong?” In 2022, she co-authored one of the most important studies in psychiatric history, a landmark meta-analysis that dismantled the serotonin theory of depression, revealing that the scientific basis for one of the most widely accepted explanations for mental illness simply doesn’t exist. Her latest book, Chemically Imbalanced, goes further; it doesn’t just challenge the pharmaceutical narrative; it exposes the social, political, and economic systems that have medicalized emotion and pathologized pain; and it is a call to reclaim our right to feel, to grieve, to question, and to be human without shame or sedation. Beyond the research and the resistance, Dr. Moncrieff is much more: She’s a doctor who has sat across from real people in real pain and never stopped asking what was missing from the way we care and a woman who has walked through the noise of a multi-billion-dollar industry and emerged with her conscience and her courage intact with no intent to burn it down; but to build something better.

Dr. Scott Lyons is a licensed clinical psychologist, osteopath, and visionary in the field of mind-body medicine who has dedicated his life to helping people find safety in their bodies, clarity in their emotions, and peace in their nervous systems. Dr. Lyons is the author of Addicted to Drama, a deeply transformative book that explores how unresolved trauma can masquerade as intensity, performance, and chaos; and what it takes to truly come home to yourself. Dr. Lyon’s work is where science meets soul and what distinguishes him is his ability to show up fully human and create spaces where complexity is welcomed, vulnerability is honored, and truth has room to breathe. Through decades of clinical practice, teaching, and deep personal inquiry, he’s illuminated how the body remembers what the mind forgets and how healing happens when we stop performing and start listening to the parts of us that were never meant to carry so much. Dr. Lyons is the founder of The Embody Lab, the world’s leading platform for embodied education, and host of The Gently Used Human podcast, where he invites some of the most respected voices in the world of healing to explore the messy, beautiful truth; of being alive. Dr. Lyons’ accolades and credentials aren’t what make him a leader, it’s how he shows up: fully human, fiercely compassionate, and endlessly curious. In a culture quick to pathologize pain or glorify dysfunction, Dr. Lyons reminds us drama isn’t identity, chaos isn’t character, and regulation is a right; not a reward… His work is an invitation to feel, to soften, and to remember that peace isn’t the absence of problems - it’s the presence of you.

Michelle Glass is an educator, author, Certified Level 3 Internal Family Systems Practitioner, a licensed Oregon Psilocybin Facilitator, and her work is deeply respected by leaders of all disciplines and modalities, including her friend and colleague, Dr. Gabor Maté. Having completed almost 400 hours of direct training with Dr. Richard Schwartz, the IFS model’s founder, Michelle is widely regarded as a trusted voice in the IFS community. The heart of Michelle’s work is profoundly personal and her career spans decades, as a writer, editor, facilitator, mentor, and teacher. She is a survivor of complex trauma, and the practices she teaches today weren’t born from theory, they were born from necessity, from lived experience, and from her own long journey back to Self. Out of that journey, she created the Daily Parts Meditation Practice®, a method now used by therapists, clients, coaches, and spiritual seekers around the world. The Daily Parts Meditation Practice® gives structure to healing, language to the unspeakable, and dignity to the parts of us we were taught to hide. Michelle’s work reminds us that healing isn’t a single event, it’s a daily practice of attention, compassion, and relationship carried out with presence, and with love - all the while remembering that each of us are the medicine needed to return home to ourselves.

Dr. Ellen Langer is a groundbreaking social psychologist, best-selling author, and the first woman to be tenured in psychology at Harvard University. Often referred to as “the mother of mindfulness,” her pioneering research has redefined what we know about health, aging, the mind-body connection, and the role of perception in shaping reality. For over four decades, Dr. Langer has challenged the boundaries of conventional science, showing through meticulous experimentation that what we believe and perceive can profoundly influence our biology. Her iconic “counterclockwise study” demonstrated that shifting mindset alone could reverse markers of aging and her work invites us to question deeply held assumptions and embrace the healing, transformative power of awareness, attention, and possibility. Dr. Langer is the author of numerous influential books including Mindfulness, Counterclockwise, On Becoming an Artist, and The Mindful Body, her research has appeared in academic journals and media outlets worldwide, and her work continues to revolutionize our understanding of human potential. In a world often driven by certainty and autopilot, Dr. Langer offers something radically different: a call to wake up, pay attention, and realize that almost everything we believe to be fixed is, in fact, up for change.

Dr. Anita Nowak is an award-winning educator, author, speaker, and one of the world’s leading voices on empathy and social change. She holds a doctorate in education from McGill University, where she has spent over a decade teaching courses on happiness, leadership, ethics, and social innovation. Her work has helped shape a global understanding of empathy as not just a feeling, but a powerful, teachable force for personal and collective transformation. Dr. Nowak is the author of Purposeful Empathy, a book that makes the case that empathy is not a trait we either have or don’t, but that it’s a skill; one we can learn, practice, and choose with intention. Across her three TEDx talks, Dr. Nowak shares a clear and urgent message: empathy is not passive, it’s a purposeful practice, a way of being, and a form of everyday activism that holds the power to reshape our relationships, our systems, and our world. Dr. Nowak works at the intersection of emotional intelligence, systems change, and human connection, coaching changemakers, advising organizations, and reminding us that compassion, when practiced with courage, has the power to create real and lasting impact. Beyond the research, the teaching, and the accolades, Dr. Nowak is a translator of the soul’s language, and she’s devoted her life to helping others remember what we were born knowing but taught to forget: that connection is sacred, and that love, when lived out loud, is the most radical force on earth. Her work invites us to lead with presence, to meet one another with care, and to remember that empathy is not a weakness; but that it’s wisdom in motion and when we choose to lead with our hearts, we’re not stepping away from the world; we’re stepping more fully into it.

Alana Carvalho is a licensed mental health counselor, author, speaker, and podcast host who has dedicated her career to helping individuals, couples, and families heal the unconscious patterns that keep them stuck in codependency, perfectionism, people pleasing, and self-abandonment. Her clinical work is rooted in the belief that the way we show up in relationships is deeply connected to the way we were taught to see ourselves and her mission is to help people unlearn the roles they were handed and reclaim who they really are. Alana is the author of the book Raising Empowered Children and the host of the podcast The CodependentPerfectionist, where she explores the emotional patterns behind people-pleasing, self-sacrifice, and unmet childhood needs. She holds degrees from both The George Washington University and Columbia University and Alana’s work is especially known for its clarity and compassion and her way of making complex emotional dynamics feel human and accessible. Whether she’s speaking to a mother trying to break generational cycles, a partner who constantly puts themselves last, or an adult still carrying wounds from childhood, Alana’s message is clear: healing doesn’t require perfection. It requires presence, boundaries, and the willingness to choose yourself, again and again.

She’s also the author of Sometimes Therapy Is Awkward, a book that has resonated deeply with clinicians and clients alike, not because it promises perfection, but because it makes space for the mess, the doubt, and the deeply human experience of showing up for others while trying to make sense of yourself. Nicole’s work does more than just pull back the curtain on therapy, it rips the curtain down and invites us to look at what happens when the people doing the healing are still healing themselves. Nicole’s voice is one of radical transparency, compassion, and humor, reminding us that therapists aren’t gurus or flawless fixers, they’re people navigating their own fears, insecurities, and growth, and often in real time. Through her writing, memes, and advocacy, Nicole challenges the idea that therapists have to be blank slates or emotional superheroes, and she redefines what it means to be “professional” by honoring what’s real (the burnout, the awkwardness, the fear of not being enough) and by doing so, she gives permission to everyone in the mental health space to be whole, not perfect.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me. While therapy can provide so much relief, finding a therapist can feel so daunting. BetterHelp, the sponsor of today’s video, has done so much to make finding a therapist and starting therapy so much easier! BetterHelp is the world's largest online therapy platform whose mission is making professional therapy accessible, affordable, and convenient — so anyone who struggles with life's challenges can get help.

Karla McLaren is an award-winning author, researcher, educator, and someone who has learned and translated one of the most sacred and important languages known to mankind. Her groundbreaking book “The Language of Emotions” has transformed the way we understand feelings like anger, fear, grief, and shame not as problems to fix, but as messengers to honor; and Karla has spent her life decoding this inner language and teaching others to interpret what their feelings are trying to say. She is the founder of both Dynamic Emotional Integration (DEI), a comprehensive approach to understanding and working with emotions and empathy and the Empathy Academy, an online learning community devoted to clear, practical education about emotion, communication, and connection. With degrees in both sociology and psychology, and decades of lived experience navigating complex emotional terrain, Karla’s work bridges the gap between science and soul offering a new paradigm for emotional intelligence rooted in curiosity, compassion, and deep listening. In a world that teaches us to numb, override, or dismiss what we feel, Karla’s work is a compassionate invitation to listen, to get curious, and to become fluent in the one language we were born speaking: emotion and in doing so, to return to ourselves with more clarity, empathy, and wholeness than we ever thought possible.

Dr. Peter Levine is a pioneer in the fields of trauma healing, somatic therapy, and body-centered psychology. He is the developer of Somatic Experiencing, a groundbreaking method for resolving trauma at the level where it lives in the body, not just the mind. Over the past five decades, Dr. Levine's work has fundamentally changed how the world understands trauma, survival, and healing. He holds doctorates in both medical biophysics and psychology, has taught at universities and trauma centers across the globe, and has authored several bestselling books including Waking the Tiger, In an Unspoken Voice, and An Autobiography of Trauma. Beyond his extraordinary professional contributions, Dr. Levine's work is deeply personal, and it springs not just from scientific inquiry, but from lived experience; from his own early encounters with terror, and his lifelong quest to understand how humans can heal what once felt unhealable. Through his research, his practice, and his presence, Dr. Levine reminds us that trauma is not what happens to us, it's what happens inside us when we're overwhelmed and alone. Dr. Levine is a living example that healing is possible when we can return to our bodies, reweave safety, and reclaim the parts of ourselves that fear tried to steal and today, his teachings are a lifeline to millions of people around the world and a blueprint for coming home to ourselves after the rupture of trauma.

Dr. Judith Herman is a pioneering psychiatrist and one of the most influential voices in the field of trauma studies. As the author of the groundbreaking book Trauma and Recovery: The Aftermath of Violence - from Domestic Abuse to Political Terror, Dr. Herman has reshaped our understanding of trauma’s impact on individuals and society, breaking silences that had persisted for decades. Her research introduced the concept of Complex PTSD, expanding the framework for long-term trauma and offering new pathways for healing. Born at a time when psychiatry was a male-dominated field, Dr. Herman’s career is a testament to resilience, intellect, and fierce dedication to justice. Inspired by her involvement in the feminist movement of the 1970s, she has been a tireless advocate for survivors of sexual violence and a voice for those often marginalized by medical and societal systems. Her work bridges the personal and the political, recognizing trauma as not only an individual experience but a public health and human rights issue. As a Professor of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the Director of Training at the Victims of Violence Program in Cambridge, Dr. Herman has mentored generations of trauma-focused clinicians and researchers. Her ability to blend rigorous scientific inquiry with deep empathy and compassion has earned her widespread acclaim, including the Lifetime Achievement Award from the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies. Beyond her academic and clinical contributions, Dr. Herman is celebrated for her humility, courage, and unwavering commitment to truth. Her legacy continues to inspire mental health professionals, activists, and trauma survivors worldwide, offering not just understanding, but hope for recovery and transformation. Whether she is speaking to a room of scholars, guiding a patient through their healing journey, or pushing for systemic change, Dr. Herman remains a beacon of insight and compassion, a trailblazer who didn’t just study trauma, but gave it language, visibility, and humanity.

Sacha Mardou is a graphic novelist, artist, author, and storyteller whose work explores mental health, memory, personal transformation, and the power of visual storytelling. Sacha’s latest book, Past Tense, isn’t just a memoir, it’s an unflinching and deeply personal journey through therapy, trauma, and healing. With raw honesty and stunning visual art, Sacha guides readers through the experience of confronting the past, breaking cycles, and learning to rewrite the story we tell ourselves about who we are. For Sacha, art and therapy aren’t separate, they’re two sides of the same process and her artwork has become a medium for exploration, emotional truth, and transformation. Through her story, she creates space for connection and self-reflection, not just for herself, but for anyone who’s ever struggled with their inner world. Sacha’s work invites us to see creativity not just as expression, but as a tool for healing, for making sense of the past, finding meaning in the present, and moving forward with more clarity and self-compassion.

Dustan Drake is a trauma-informed coach, speaker, and mentor whose work is changing the way people heal from emotional wounds, rediscover their worth, and reclaim their identity after pain. His coaching is rooted not just in theory, but in lived experience. For years, Dustan was running, from shame, from self-doubt, from the deep belief that he wasn’t enough, and like so many, he was functioning on the outside but fragmented within. It took a breaking point, an emotional and spiritual collapse, for Dustan to begin the journey inward, how to learn how to sit with pain instead of avoid it, and to release the pressure of performance and rediscover the person he was always meant to be. That transformation became his mission and today, he uses everything he’s lived, studied, and survived to help others do the same. Dustan’s coaching blends nervous system regulation, emotional processing, and deep subconscious reprogramming to support clients in breaking toxic cycles, reconnecting with their bodies, and coming home to themselves. His work has helped people move from self-sabotage to self-trust, from over-functioning to inner peace, and he does it all with raw honesty and deep compassion. In addition to his coaching, Dustan is co-author of a children’s book, rooted in the technique he co-created called Dynamic Duo Hypnosis, a story designed to help kids release emotional baggage and limiting beliefs before they take root. He’s also on the path to becoming a Registered Investment Advisor, with a mission to support others in not just emotional and spiritual abundance, but financial wholeness too. Whether through coaching, writing, or sharing his voice online, Dustan shows up with one message: you are not broken, just burdened, and healing isn’t a dream, it’s your birthright.

Jennifer Sluga is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor, trauma specialist, military veteran, wife, and mother. She is the founder of Trauma & Life Counseling, where she helps people break free from the cycles of addiction, trauma, and self-destruction that keep them trapped. Jennifer isn’t just a therapist, she’s a fighter and she has walked through her own struggles, battled her own wounds, and come out the other side determined to help others do the same. Before she was the expert, before she had the language to name what she had been through, Jennifer was someone searching for answers, carrying the weight of past wounds that didn’t yet make sense to her. Jennifer has a deep understanding of how trauma rewires the brain and body, and she has made it her life’s mission to change the conversation around pain, addiction, and healing. She knows firsthand that addiction isn’t just about substances, it’s about what we’re running from, that trauma isn’t just about what happened to us, it’s about what it left behind, and that real healing isn’t about “getting over it,” it’s about getting through it, learning to sit with the discomfort, face the parts of ourselves we’ve tried to silence, and finally offer them the compassion they never received. Through her work, Jennifer is proving that healing isn’t about fixing what’s “broken” in us, it’s about reclaiming what was taken, about breaking cycles, rewriting the story, and finally finding the safety and self-acceptance we’ve been searching for all along.

Sarah Baldwin is a somatic experiencing practitioner, trauma-trained coach, nervous system expert, and the creator of a deeply impactful body of work that helps people heal at the level of the nervous system. She is extensively trained in Polyvagal Theory, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Attachment Theory, and other trauma-informed modalities, all of which shape her integrative, science backed, and deeply human approach to healing. Sarah’s work is rooted in one powerful truth: we can’t think our way to safety, we have to feel it. Through private coaching, her signature courses You Make Sense and Navigating Your Nervous System, and a dynamic social media presence, Sarah helps individuals begin building true internal safety, not just in theory, but in the body, where trauma lives. Her approach is both compassionate and practical, demystifying complex neuroscience and translating it into tools that help people move from anxiety, shutdown, and overwhelm into groundedness, connection, and resilience. Sarah teaches that our survival responses aren’t flaws, they’re protective strategies we once needed, and healing begins not by overriding them, but by understanding them. Most importantly, Sarah’s work isn’t just about regulation, it’s about liberation and she helps people reconnect with the parts of themselves they’ve had to abandon just to survive. Whether someone is stuck in a freeze response, constantly over-functioning, or simply feels exhausted by the weight of unprocessed pain, Sarah offers a map home, to safety, to wholeness, and to the self and her work has resonated with thousands around the world who felt broken or beyond help, until they discovered they were never broken at all, just dysregulated, just in survival, and simply waiting for a way back to themselves.

Dr. Arielle Schwartz is a clinical psychologist, trauma expert, and author whose work has redefined what it means to heal. She has spent decades exploring the deep connection between the mind and body, proving that trauma isn’t just something we think about, it’s something we carry, something that lives in our nervous system, shaping how we see the world, how we trust, how we love, and how we survive. Through her groundbreaking work in somatic psychology, EMDR, polyvagal theory, and post-traumatic growth, Dr. Schwartz has shown that healing is more than just talking about the past, it’s about reclaiming the body, restoring safety, and finding our way back to ourselves. She has helped countless people move beyond survival mode, teaching them that trauma may have shaped them, but it does not have to define them. Dr. Schwartz isn’t just studying resilience, she’s proving that it’s possible. And that no matter what you’ve been through, no matter how long the body has held onto the past, healing is always within reach.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me. While therapy can provide so much relief, finding a therapist can feel so daunting.

Dr. Diane Poole Heller is a world-renowned expert in attachment theory, trauma healing, and relational transformation. Over the past four decades, she has been at the forefront of understanding how early attachment experiences shape the way we love, connect, and navigate relationships and, more importantly; how we can heal and rewire these patterns at any stage of life. As an internationally recognized speaker, author, and clinical trainer, Dr. Heller has worked with thousands of therapists and millions of individuals to bridge the gap between trauma, attachment, and the path to secure, fulfilling relationships. She is the creator of Dynamic Attachment Re-Patterning Experience (DARe), an innovative therapeutic model that has transformed the way we approach healing from insecure attachment. Her book, The Power of Attachment, delves into the unseen forces that drive our relationships, revealing why we connect the way we do, why love sometimes feels so out of reach, and most importantly, how we can move toward lasting emotional security. Through her work, Dr. Heller has helped people untangle the unconscious patterns that keep them stuck in cycles of fear, avoidance, and self-protection; empowering them to move toward deeper intimacy, trust, and connection. She has spent decades proving that attachment wounds don’t have to define us, and that healing is always within reach. Whether through her books, her clinical work, or her teachings, Dr. Heller is giving people the tools to break free from the past and build relationships that feel safe, secure, and fulfilling.

Lara Love Hardin is a New York Times bestselling author, a sought-after ghostwriter behind some of the most influential memoirs of our time, and the co-founder of True Literary, a full-service literary agency dedicated to amplifying powerful, transformational stories. But before she became the voice behind bestselling books, Lara was losing her own, her voice, her identity, her sense of self, buried beneath addiction, shame, and a system determined to silence her. To the outside world, she was the image of success: a mother of four, living in the suburbs, building a beautiful life, but behind closed doors, she was spiraling, caught in the grip of a secret opioid addiction that led her down a path of deception, identity theft, and ultimately, incarceration. Her memoir, The Many Lives of Mama Love, is not just a story of addiction and recovery, it’s a raw, unflinching look at motherhood, shame, privilege, survival, and the American criminal justice system. It’s about what it means to lose everything, including your name, and still find the strength to rewrite your future. Lara’s story reminds us that no one is beyond redemption and that sometimes, the most powerful voices come from the most unlikely places.

Michelle May is a psychotherapist, author, trauma specialist, a survivor, a teacher, and a guiding force in the world of emotional healing. She has dedicated her career to helping people uncover the unconscious patterns that drive anxiety, depression, addiction, and even chronic physical pain. As the Chair of the Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP) program at the New Washington School of Psychiatry, she trains therapists in deep, transformative work that helps clients break free from self-sabotaging cycles. Michelle’s expertise isn’t just professional, it’s deeply personal. Before she became the therapist she is today, she was a patient herself, battling the hidden wounds of perfectionism, people-pleasing, chronic pain, and opioid dependency. Her book, What I Couldn’t Tell My Therapist, is a raw and fearless account of that journey, interwoven with the stories of two of her patients, exposing the unseen forces that shape our suffering. Through her work, she reveals that the mind and body are not separate, that our deepest wounds live in both, and that true healing requires the courage to confront what we avoid most. Michelle’s mission is clear: to help people break free from the defenses that once protected them but now hold them back and to unravel the unconscious patterns that keep them stuck in cycles of fear, self-sabotage, and pain. Michelle is living proof that even when healing feels impossible, even when the past feels too heavy to escape, transformation is always within reach.

Jane Elliott is a globally recognized anti-racism educator, activist, and one of the most fearless truth-tellers of our time. For over five decades, she has dedicated her life to exposing the realities of racism, privilege, and systemic oppression. She is best known for her groundbreaking Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes classroom demonstration, an exercise in empathy that forced students to experience discrimination firsthand, a demonstration that would forever change the conversation on race and bias in America. What started in a small classroom in Iowa became one of the most unforgettable and controversial demonstrations of prejudice ever conducted, earning Jane both praise and condemnation. Her work has reached presidents, scholars, activists, and everyday people who have been both challenged and changed by her teachings. She has spoken on Oprah, Red Table Talk, national news platforms, and stages across the world, relentlessly pushing people to confront the racism embedded in society, and within themselves. She has faced backlash, resistance, and even threats, yet never once has she backed down. Whether standing in front of a classroom, calling out privilege in corporate boardrooms, or challenging systemic racism head-on, Jane has been unrelenting in her mission for racial justice. She refuses to soften the truth and in doing so she has made people uncomfortable, made them think, and above all, she has opened their eyes and made them see. Jane’s work has earned her numerous accolades, but beyond the awards and recognition, her greatest impact is in the lives of those who have sat in her classrooms, attended her lectures, and walked away not just informed, but transformed.

Dr. Debi Silber is a holistic psychologist, bestselling author, speaker, and the founder of The Post Betrayal Transformation Institute, where she has spent decades helping people movethrough betrayal, rebuild their lives, and emerge stronger than ever before. She is the author of multiple books, including Trust Again, The Rebuild Roadmap, The Unshakable Woman, and From Hardened to Healed, which have guided countless individuals through the process of transforming their pain into personal power. Dr. Silber didn’t just study betrayal; she lived it. After experiencing profound betrayals from both her family and her husband, she was left broken, ashamed, and stuck in survival mode. With no roadmap for healing, she took matters into her own hands, enrolling in a PhD program to study betrayal, and in doing so, she made three groundbreaking discoveries that have changed the way we understand healing. Her TEDx talk, Do You Have Post-Betrayal Syndrome, has reached millions, and her research has shown that betrayal doesn’t just hurt, it rewires the brain, the body, and our entire sense of trust in ourselves and others. Most importantly, Dr. Silber has proven that full healing is possible and she has spent her life helping others break free from the pain of betrayal, not just to survive it, but to come out the other side happier, healthier, and stronger than ever.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong, and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me.

Bob Falconer is a seasoned and experienced psychotherapist and spiritual healer with incredibly deep wisdom who has worked in many realms throughout his career and has a deep commitment to multidimensional healing. His life path, love of books, education, deep listening, and ability to shed ego and fully honor “what works” has allowed him to step into really seeing the being sitting across from him in all their authenticity and multiplicity. As a survivor of both sexual & physical abuse, Bob intimately knows this world from the inside-out and focused on work with men who had these same histories for the early decades of his career while using his own recovery as the basis for much of this work. Bob has also been actively involved with psychedelics since 1967 and continues to view them as a powerful pathway to a deep knowing of ourselves and the spaces we inhabit. Approximately 15 years ago Bob discovered Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) and is now focused exclusively on IFS, which he finds to be the most respectful and powerful modality. Bob has taught IFS extensively and internationally and has been on the staff of over 20 official IFS Institute trainings and has led classes and trainings in Pakistan, China, South Korea, Mexico, Poland, Spain, Canada, the UK, for the Fort Belknap Indian reservation and on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation. Bob has published three books relating to IFS: “Many Minds, One Self”, co-authored with Richard Schwartz - the founder of IFS, “The Others Within Us”, and “When Going Through Hell …Keep Going.” These books are vast in their exploration of the collective, the personal, and the realms beyond consensual reality and the thread that weaves them together is Bob’s palpable passion to supporting healing. Now at age 76, Bob mostly teaches and leads supervision classes, only occasionally seeing individuals, and his continued dedication to his own, others and planetary well-being continues to burn bright.
In this episode Bob gives detailed accounts of the sexual abuse he suffered as a child, and it may be triggering.

Life can be hard at times and if you’re like me, you may tend to think that you can handle it all on your own. Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me. While therapy can provide so much relief, finding a therapist can feel so daunting. BetterHelp, the sponsor of today’s video, has done so much to make finding a therapist and starting therapy so much easier!

Norman Ohler is an award-winning German novelist, screenwriter, journalist, and New York Times bestselling author. Norman is best known for his book Blitzed, which has been published in over 30 languages, and explores the widespread use of drugs in Nazi Germany, what role methamphetamines played in the military history of World War II, and for uncovering that the German military and political leadership - including and especially Adolf Hitler - used psychoactive drugs during the war. Norman has also written about how Nazi experiments into psychedelics covertly influenced CIA research and birthed the CIA's notorious brainwashing and psychological torture program during the 1950s and 1960s known as MK-Ultra. Although criticized, judged, and scoffed at by many, Norman has been undeterred in his research and approach to provide a historically proven side of the truth that outside of his research; may have never been told.

Dr. Lissa Rankin is a New York Times bestselling author, a mind-body medicine physician, founder of the Whole Health Medicine Institute, and the non-profit “Heal At Last.” Dr. Rankin is an encaustic artist who researches radical remission, trauma-informed medicine, and spiritual healing. Dr. Rankin’s TEDx talks have been viewed over 6 million times, she’s starred in two National Public Television specials, and she’s currently co-writing her eighth book, “YOU-Turn” about the link between narcissistic abuse and medical illness, focusing on how healthy boundaries and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy can help reverse diseases related to nervous system dysregulation caused by relational trauma. Throughout her lifelong journey as a healer Dr. Rankin has come to realize that all roads led to the same conclusion: People who are not responding to “traditional medicine” often have untreated, unhealed trauma, and treating that trauma can sometimes lead to seemingly miraculous radical remissions.

Dr. Richard Schwartz is a psychotherapist, bestselling author of the Book No Bad Parts, and the founder and developer of the Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy model. Dr. Schwartz began his career as a family therapist and an academic at the University of Illinois at Chicago and there he discovered that family therapy alone did not achieve full symptom relief and in asking patients why, he learned that they were plagued by what they called “parts.” These patients became his teachers as they described how their parts formed networks of inner relationships that resembled the families he had been working with. He also found that as they focused on and, thereby, separated from their parts, they would shift into a state characterized by qualities like curiosity, calm, confidence, and compassion. He called that inner essence the Self and was amazed to find it even in severely diagnosed and traumatized patients. From these explorations the Internal Family Systems (IFS) model was born in the early 1980s. IFS is now evidence-based and has become a widely used form of psychotherapy, particularly with trauma, and is quickly becoming the preferred modality to incorporate into Psychedelic Medicine research, therapy, and all stages of psychedelic sessions. It provides a non-pathologizing, optimistic, andempowering perspective and a practical and effective set of techniques for working with individuals, couples, families, and more recently, corporations and classrooms.

Christopher Robbins is an entrepreneur, an innovator, a yoga instructor, a father, the founder of Soul Degree, and beloved husband of podcast host, author, and motivational speaker Mel Robbins. Professionally, Chris worked in the corporate world and as an entrepreneur, across Europe then America, in dozens of roles and responsibilities for 25+ years and realized most of that time was spent trying to prove his worth, hide his truth, or trying to be something or someone that he wasn’t. After hitting rock bottom and looking for purpose while trying to navigate his healing journey, Chris created Soul Degree, a coaching and personal development program for men that offers monthly meditations and runs restorative wilderness retreats aimed at giving men the opportunity to step out of their everyday lives and experience adventure, freedom, and inner growth. Soul Degree allowed Chris the opportunity to rediscover a sequestered source of joy — in slowing down and circling up with people in pursuit of deeper meaning in remote natural settings.

Maybe you’ve done such a good job of “managing for so long” having to do something different or talk to someone can feel uncomfortable. The idea of therapy, to me, felt like I had to admit that there was something wrong with me or that I’d be showing the world that I was broken or didn't have it all together… but when my health started to suffer, and I was anxious 24/7… I realized my body was trying to tell me something was wrong and I learned that there is no “good health” without mental health. Therapy was the answer for me, it helped me put down all of the heavy things that I was carrying that didn’t belong to me. While therapy can provide so much relief, finding a therapist can feel so daunting. BetterHelp, the sponsor of today’s video, has done so much to make finding a therapist and starting therapy so much easier! BetterHelp is the world's largest online therapy platform whose mission is making professional therapy accessible, affordable, and convenient — so anyone who struggles with life's challenges can get help.

Helen Knott is a Dane Zaa, Nehiyaw, Métis, and mixed Euro-descent woman from Prophet River First Nations, and lives in Fort St. John, British Columbia. Helen is a trauma survivor, an author, a poet, and has worked in social work and advocacy for over a decade. In 2016 Helen was one of sixteen global change makers featured by the Nobel Women's Initiative for being committed to ending gender-based violence and was selected as a 2019 RBC Taylor Prize Emerging Author. Her debut memoir, In My Own Moccasins, was a national bestseller, longlisted for the BC Taylor Prize, and won the Saskatchewan Book Award for Indigenous Peoples' Publishing. In My Own Moccasins is a deeply personal and vulnerable account of addiction, intergenerational trauma, and the wounds brought on by sexual violence. Becoming a Matriarch, her second memoir, is a #1 Best Seller on the Toronto Star's Canadian Non-Fiction list and #2 overall non-fiction list. Helen has learned to find happiness in simplicity because as she says, "When you’re stripped down to your most naked humble self - you learn to see the world new again. At first, it’s not always shiny - quite the opposite in fact - but eventually you learn to see the sparkle in the small things. And in no time, you become that sparkle and create magic wherever you go."

Dr. Mariel Buqué is an Afro-Dominican, Columbia University-trained Psychologist, intergenerational trauma expert, and the author of the book Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma. Her clinical framework is holistic and infuses ancient and indigenous healing practices into a modern, comprehensive therapeutic approach. During her clinical training, she co-developed and completed a 3-year immersive holistic mental health care fellowship in collaboration with the United States Health Administration and Columbia University Irving Medical Center, where she offered holistic psychotherapy, in the Spanish language, across multidisciplinary clinics in the Columbia hospital system, including cardiology, neurology, obstetrics and gynecology, and primary care.
She has utilized her training in holistic care to integrate holistic practices, like sound bath meditation and breathwork, into therapy, which has helped to deepen trauma healing for her clients. She additionally provides healing workshops to Fortune 100 companies including Google, Twitter, Capital One, and Meta and lectures within the psychology department of Columbia University. Dr. Buqué is widely sought out for her clinical expertise and trauma approach and has been featured on major media outlets including The Today Show, Good Morning America, and ABC News. During her doctoral training and then within her clinical position as a psychologist at Columbia University’s Irving Medical Center, Dr. Buqué was able to see the profound impact of intergenerational trauma, which led to her adopting a more holistic lens to healing layered trauma. This is now the underlying methodology behind her proprietary intergenerational healing approach. Dr. Buqué now makes her healing practices accessible through her book Break the Cycle, her newsletter, and a growing community on social media. As such, she has been named as a School of Greatness 100 Greatest People Doing Good in 2022 and an inaugural Verywell Mind 25 Mental Health Champion.

Dr. Ingrid Clayton is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist, an author, singer, a mom, a wife, content creator, she holds a Master's in transpersonal psychology, and a Ph.D. in clinical psychology. As a psychotherapist and writer, she is interested in emotional sobriety, holistic health, and authenticity. Since 2004, she has been working in diverse clinical settings including inpatient and outpatient dual-diagnosis treatment centers for alcoholics, addicts, and their families.

She is the author of Recovering Spirituality: Achieving Emotional Sobriety in Your Spiritual Practice (Hazelden, 2011) and her memoir, Believing Me: Healing from Narcissistic Abuse and Complex Trauma, which uncovers her personal experience of childhood trauma from a psychologist’s perspective. Even though Dr. Clayton has a clinical background, she feels there is no theory, diagnosis, or therapy that can replace the power of shared experience.

Bobbi Parish is a Trauma Recovery Coach and one of the kindest human beings you'll ever meet! After enduring decades of trauma as both a child and adult, Bobbi struggled with depression, disability and homelessness – bouncing in and out of psychiatric wards seven different times. As she tried to get help within the mental health system she was labeled as a “difficult patient” because she didn’t improve in the retraumatizing non-trauma informed hospitals and clinics who treated her. After deciding to try to help trauma survivors more compassionately and with her lived experience, her graduate school program told her she had “no potential to contribute to the field” due to her mental health struggles. It took her two decades to shed that belief because it so accurately mirrored what her childhood abusers taught her. But in 2017 she founded The International Association of Trauma Recovery Coaching, which has trained more than 600 Trauma Recovery Coaches around the world, disrupting the Western mental health model’s current treatment of trauma survivors. Over the past five years Bobbi has written and developed five different coaching certification programs where more than 90% of the students entering the coursework are trauma survivors themselves. The Association has the only Code of Ethics, Safety Protocols and Supervision for Trauma Recovery Coaches worldwide. Bobbi also maintains a coaching practice using Internal Family Systems, Trauma Informed Stabilization and HeartMath in service of both individuals and couples with trauma histories.

Rev Karla is a spiritual teacher who understands the pain and confusion experienced by those who have suffered religious trauma. Having overcome her own struggles, she is dedicated to helping others recover from their traumas, reclaim their spirituality, and find purpose and authenticity in their lives.
Religious trauma can be a difficult and uncomfortable conversation, however; to shy away from any topic or conversation because it’s uncomfortable can be a disservice. So many don’t know what they’re shying away from because they’ve never had a voice, so for many of us to even start a conversation about difficult topics is hard, let alone to have an opinion about them. I’ve noticed that at times, some don’t have an identity outside of their beliefs so if they’re asked to have a difficult conversation or if they “perceive” that their beliefs are being challenged, it’s often viewed as a personal attack. The main point of this episode was to highlight that we can lovingly and peacefully agree to disagree or feel differently about things and still recognize that we have deep affection and respect for each other and acknowledge that even with the best of intentions; people can get hurt and it is unhealthy to overlook that pain or their lived experience in the name of anything. I knew this conversation would for sure raise some eyebrows, which is fine because while the eyebrows are raised; there are so many things to talk about.

He's been seen on HBO, Hot97, VH1, Cosmo, Black Enterprise, Fox SOUL, Huff Post, NY1, and News12. In his work with Black Men in Therapy, Arron can identify with microaggressions, being stereotyped, and can align with how trauma in the Black community attributes to anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorders. Arron believes that providing a culture where it is okay to say, "I am a black man that struggles with anxiety and depression." Arron makes an impact when working with black families by understanding the nuances, norms, and customs surrounding the struggles they face and can use that to empower and uplift them.
I did things a little different this episode. Instead of my own questions, I asked some of my friends and family if they had any questions that they’d want to ask Arron. The response I got was so much more than expected, and the questions they came up with were so so good! I’m super grateful for the thought and vulnerability that went into these questions and feel more than honored to be able to this!

Using neuroscience (think "The Body Keeps the Score") and blending that science with a more artistic approach he learned through living at a temple in India, taking psychedelics, and being a natural and gifted intuitive, Dr. Kennedy gives a unique and never before seen understanding of what anxiety truly is, and further, exactly how it can be successfully treated. Dr. Russ wants to make sure that nobody has to suffer with anxiety as he did.

We had a connection problem at about 38 minutes, and it stressed me out so bad because I felt like it ruined an amazing episode. I didn't edit it because I had to sit with the parts of me that need to do everything perfect and understand that there are some things out of my control and this journey and what I'm trying to present is about learning to accept mistakes and flaws as part of being beautify human.

Hypnotherapy?? Get the heck outta here!?!?! For real??? Yes, for real! Ann Balkanski, MD, CCHt is a Certified Clinical and Transpersonal Hypnotherapist at Rapid Realization. If you've ever wondered what hypnotherapy is, what it isn't, how it works, or if it could help you... this is it. I've worked with Ann and she's legit, I call her Ann the Great lol. My first session with her we did deep inner child work and I had a major breakthrough that gave me so much inner peace. She helped me not only get to little me, but also give him permission to be okay. I was completely coherent and in control the entire time, so to me; it felt more so like guided meditation. I remember at one point I felt this unusual heaviness. My whole body was so uncomfortable, my arms and legs felt like tree trunks; it was a weird feeling that lasted about 5 minutes. Ann told me that it was more than likely energy pathways opening up that had been blocked and stale energy moving.
While we were deep in the session, she asked me what things I’m struggling with … I told her … She said "okay, you are those things … step into them."
It was so HARD, in my mind it felt like I was trying to get out of chains underwater; but after a bit I was able to do it… Then she asked me what I’d say to little me… I told him and I was able to say these things to little me without any fear, anxiety, or reservations. She kept asking me how I was feeling … I’d say a little vulnerable, she’d explain why, then have me work through it. I'm her biggest fan and by now I'm sure she's sick of me texting her all the time to tell her how amazing she is lol! ANN THE GREAT!!!
