In today’s powerful episode, we dive deep into the hidden patterns that can keep us stuck — from seeking approval to spiraling in self-criticism. You’ll meet our beautiful volunteer, Mary, as she courageously unravels lifelong emotional loops that have been secretly fueling her pain, frustration, and feelings of insecurity.

If you've ever felt trapped in patterns of self-judgment, seeking love or approval, or using coping mechanisms just to get by — this episode will open your heart and mind. You’ll discover why healing can sometimes feel tricky, and how understanding the entanglement of emotions is the key to real, lasting change.

Plus, we explore how to reprogram the subconscious mind to work for you — creating true self-kindness, confidence, and emotional freedom.

Here’s what you’ll discover in this episode:

• How patterns like self-criticism, shame, and the need for approval get entangled in the subconscious mind

• Why emotional healing and mind-body healing and transformation can feel tricky — and how to break the spiral

• How subtle behaviors can unintentionally affect your health, finances, and relationships

• Why coping mechanisms (like alcohol or avoidance) can block healing — and what to do instead

• How to reprogram your mind for confidence, emotional freedom, and true self-kindness

• What it really takes to create lasting change using mind-body tools

This episode is both eye-opening and deeply moving — with so many “aha!” moments you won’t want to miss.

IMPORTANT NOTE: We understand that some may believe mind-body healing is impossible. Therefore, if you would like to see images of individuals using their minds to relieve pain, you can check out this medical journal. It includes images from some of Brandy's case studies. If you want to learn how to use your mind to heal yourself, you can check out the training on Brandy's website. Each week, Brandy publishes a volunteer episode where she coaches a volunteer to heal themselves using their own mind. In addition, Brandy shares a quick IQ episode (Insights and Questions) where she answers listener questions or delves deeper into insights on working with the mind for healing.

Please remember that genuine change and follow through are key for self-healing results. If you struggle with negative thoughts or have a chronic health issue or chronic pain, please do not avoid seeing your doctor. Instead, your goal with self-healing should be to continue to see your doctor as recommended and blow their mind with what you are capable of with your mind and with the power of mind-body healing.
