ALIVE with Jessica Schiller: Heal Your Inner Child + Ancestral Trauma

Do you feel like you never have enough time, or become easily overwhelmed and stressed? If your answer is yes, this episode is solid GOLD for you to understand WHY and how your brain is wired!

If you have experienced trauma, this may affect your cognition even more, which is empowering as we learn how to rewire these trauma patterns so you can find freedom from your traumas + see life through a new lens.  

In a wildly fascinating conversation with Brain Engineer, ST Rappaport, this episode bridges the gaps to share how our minds work as an integration of cognitive function + cognitive emotion.

In the trauma informed and spiritual wellness world, we talk a lot about managing and calming our emotions, but rarely is the concept of cognitive function and how to rewire our brains spoke about with a blend concrete + spiritual ties.

According to ST, scientific research indicates that the root issue lies in specific gaps within your thinking skills that demand your attention.

In this episode, we uncover:

- The concept of time + what "time blindness" means
- Reuven Feuerstein's inspirations in cognitive work as it relates to his family's trauma in the Holocaust
- Why some tasks are easier for you than others!
- The trauma brain + how to retrain your brain to improve cognition and heal your trauma ties.

About ST Rappaport:

I'm ST Rappaport, a brain engineer and in 5th grade I still couldn't read properly.After endless hours of tutors that left nothing but high bills, it was time to take another approach. Let’s rewire the brain and solve the real problem.

Usually, when a person has a problem, they solve what they see at the surface. Let’s say, for example, you never make the deadlines you set for yourself and it’s getting really frustrating, so you decided from now on you’ll finish all your tasks 24 hours early. It might work for a week or two but pretty quickly you’ll be late again. Why?

This is because there is a reason WHY you are constantly being late. You’re not trying to but there’s another problem. Maybe it’s because you never know how to start or maybe it’s because once you get distracted it’s extremely difficult to refocus or maybe doing research just messes with your brain and you can’t seem to do it.
 
When you solve the real core problem (and there might be a few!) then everything else will fall into place.

Are you a creature of habit, or do you feel challenged to break the cycles + stories of what has been conditioned in your life? As a trauma-informed wellness expert and fellow #cyclebreaker, the 3 words "breaking the cycle" run deep as a practice to healing inner child, ancestral and intergenerational trauma wounds.

In a fun, light hearted conversation with Emily + Stephanie of the Cycle Chats pod, this episode demystifies not only what "breaking the cycle" means, but how to even understand the essence of the profound question "Who am I", and what does it truly mean to be "myself"? Is this me, or am I repeating cycles of stories that have been passed down through family, or even friends in childhood?  

Em + Steph and I go deep into how we can become our own #cyclebreaker by making decisions that break the cycles and go against the grain, saying NO to what doesn't feel aligned, and choosing your own path as a programming of your own design!

We talk about what loving yourself looks like, what is love even, and how do you not lose yourself in a relationship?

Again, everything you do is connected to a cycle, so this episode is guaranteed to spark revelations within your world to join us in the revolution of "breaking the cycle" not just in stories, but in healing the mental health epidemic and traumas we all carry.

About Cycle Chats - Emily + Stephanie:

Emily and Stephanie were twin flames brought together by bright pink lipstick. Though their friendship began with Stephanie stalking Emily through costume racks they quickly became sisters. They worked together at a children’s theater where they taught their students to be brave, thoughtful, and most importantly themselves. Once the pandemic hit they both lost their jobs, and as Stephanie says floated in a pool of insecurity knowing they couldn’t sustain that lifestyle.

They both truly missed educating their students, working together, and having real conversations about real issues….so Cycle Chats was born!

They started their podcast to educate, empower, and inspire women of all ages to be the best versions of themselves. So here they are almost 18 months later, forever changed from the amazing women they get to work with and their community of cycle cats who are constantly showing them love.

So much of what you carry is not your own. Intergenerational trauma can carry up to 7 generations through your lineage. While it may be a part of your family's history, it doesn't have to be your burden to bear in this lifetime.

In fact, it may be your calling to break the cycle for your lifetime + future generations to come, your children, grandchildren, and their children (up to 7 generations forward!)

In this powerful conversation with Manpreet Johal Bernie, host of the Heart's Happiness show, we uncover the intricacies that lie underneath ancestral wounds, and how these feelings and ways we felt we needed to be as a child was simply a means of survival passed down from our parents.

Interestingly enough, I found Manpreet through a blog that was sent to me by my own brother on this very topic, and the resonance of both of our family's struggles intertwine, even though we come from very different cultures and lineages.

The stories of survival, women feeling controlled by the Masculine way, arranged marriages, the narcissist + empath dynamics, and a contemplating a life worth living are all unravelled in one of the deepest and yet uplifting conversations I've had on the show to give you hope in your healing journey to uncovering and recovering from the traumas we all carry (we speak to this too!)

Manpreet and I are dedicated to this mission of trauma awareness to break the cycles for generations + to leave a legacy of healing what has been wounded within for centuries of our bloodlines! 

About Manpreet:

Manpreet Johal Bernie is a trauma transformation coach and the creator of podcaster Heart's Happiness. She is a Childhood trauma survivor and mentor to help others to rewrite their stories and find their own happiness. 

In her words, 

I want to help people heal their inter-generational trauma so they can live healthier and happier lives. Life is just too short to be living in pain. When we heal our trauma, we not only heal ourselves but we are also healthier people for our partners, our children, our families and the world we live in.  It is my mission to break the cycle of pain that inter-generational trauma brings into our lives.

Regulating your mental state, especially in times of feeling triggered, can be quite  challenging. How do you bring yourself back, without continuing to feel reliant on others?

Or even worse, feeling like you're asking for help and not getting what you need.  

In the trauma informed wellness world, we speak about this concept of "self regulation", which is a way to calm your nervous system without being dependent on the outside world to help you in times of distress.

To literally, regulate yourself in a way that feels safe and nurturing to your emotions, so you can be there for yourself and break the cycle of self-abandonment. (Listen to my last episode on this if you haven't already!)

In this episode, I will uncover 4 powerful ways to self-regulate + naturally produce Serotonin, which is a chemical that carries messages between nerve cells in the brain and throughout your body.

Serotonin plays a key role in such body functions as mood, sleep, digestion, nausea, wound healing, bone health, and sexual desire - and has a longer lasting effect than Dopamine - which is a sense of temporary pleasure, or that quick fix!

Stay tuned towards the end of the episode where I do a live 3-card reading from Rebecca Campbell's oracle deck, The Healing Waters, for the New Moon in Cancer this week. 

Regardless of when you listen, the resonance of these cards will help you anytime you are ready for a FRESH START!

Are you tired of feeling abandoned by others? Often times, you don't realize it starts with yourself and small ways you have neglected your needs.

In a society that is constantly telling you what you need, how can you blame yourself? Collectively, we are conditioned to thinking that our worth is tied to stories of societal expectations, or what others have told us we "should" be.

The world reveres the concepts of the "expert" to make you question your own intuition, and to give away our power to those that have studied the very essence of who you KNOW you are.

In this episode, I uncover the root cause of the abandonment wound, and how to recognize if you have been neglecting your needs + living the stories that have become your own.

There is a reason why you do what you do. From a trauma-informed perspective, this concept that "we are the sum of parts" comes from the work of Richard Schwartz with IFS, Internal Family Systems.

You will learn how to integrate these parts, both your light + shadow sides to begin to heal the abandonment wound and truly learn what it is to LOVE yourself beyond the bubble baths and pedicures!

I will also share 9 simple ways you can begin to start showing up for yourself, for even as little as one minute increments!

“The goal of IFS is not to eliminate parts, but to get them to work together in harmony. This leads to a greater sense of wholeness and integration.” – Richard Schwartz.

Are you an overthinker, or easily overwhelmed? If so, this episode is full of golden nuggets as to how you can stop overcomplicating + embrace the mantra of “let it be easy” from a trauma-informed perspective.

I will share 6 ways to learn to embrace the easy, and simplify your life with the spirit of ONENess and Somatic presencing.

When you can’t get out of your head, get into your body in a way that connects Soma (Greek for body-mind awareness) to your psyche.

Somatic movements repattern trauma/stress responses that are stuck in the body, help with vascular/fluid movements, and improve our body’s ability to pendulate – allowing more life force to flow through.

I will also share some powerful Somatic practices on the podcast, a simple grounding practice to repattern your addiction to overthinking and over complicating! 

Stay tuned to the end, where I will close with a message from Spirit with an oracle card reading, which is another enlightening way to embrace the easy! 

Take it easy baby, take it as it comes - specialize in having fun!

What is calling forth to be healed within you? In this episode, I had the honor to be in conversation with Asha Frost, a devoutly wise woman who is the bridge between worlds and people,  as she is known as Nenaandawi Nagweyaab Kwe – Healing Rainbow Woman. 

Asha’s indigenous culture and connection to the Spirit realm offers healing that is beyond the human condition. 

When  you can connect to the wisdom of your lineage, and reclaim your roots, you shift your mindset of healing to know that “you are not broken”. 

Asha describes pain as an opening to other worlds, so that Spirit can enter you. 

She shares her rituals of journeying, dreams, and connection to Earth Medicine as a gateway to a beautiful spiritual healing and trauma recovery to help you connect to your power within. 

To let Spirit guide your recovery, and not feel the need to “fix” others, as Asha says “when you think you can fix, you are not seeing the wisdom and wisdom  within them.” 

Be sure to listen to the entire episode, as Asha graces us with a LIVE card reading from her Sacred Medicine Oracle to bring safety to your experience, and help you reclaim + remember that “you are the medicine”! 

About Asha:

Asha Frost (she/her) is an Indigenous Medicine Woman, Entrepreneur and a member of the Chippewas of Nawash First Nation. 

She is the best-selling author of You are the Medicine, and the oracle deck, The Sacred Medicine Oracle.  She has guided thousands of people through profound and lasting transformation.

As a highly sought after speaker, Asha leads from her Clan teachings of the Crane – holding space from vision and heart. 

Asha has blended her life experience in her work as a homeopath, energy healer and mentor, with her innate gifts and the wisdom of her Ancestors. 

She loves sharing her Medicine in powerful ways through Ceremonies, teachings, and speaking events. Through this work, she loves seeing people reclaim their roots, find their healing wisdom, and rise into their power.

Join me in Ceremony to channel the energy of this week's Solstice from a LIVE event held on the Insight Timer app.

(And even if you're listening after the Solstice,  the energy of REBIRTH + RENEWAL is ever present in life, so listen to cultivate this ceremony of rebirth whenever you feel ready for a fresh start!)

Aligning with the cycles of Nature's intelligence is one of the most potent tools to heal past trauma wounds, and recover in rhythm with the Cosmos.

The Summer Solstice is a divine time to bask in the glow of the sun's radiance, where the sun stands STILL.

In this stillness, you will connect deeper to the Solstice to SEE what is being LIT up in your life now that you couldn't see before, and set intentions for the next 6 months of the year.

As a podcast listener, you already have a deep connection to the healing power of audio + sound healing. Music is a frequency and a vibration that can transcend your current reality and elevate your mental state. In this 2 part series, we will uncover the magic and medicine of Mantra + music as a frequency healer through the beautiful creations of Nadav Kahn.

This episode is an experience of Nadav’s transcendent powers through sound healing and Vedic Mantra meditation. 

From a trauma informed perspective, Mantra is also a beautiful tool to break cycles of past + ancestral wounds through Vagal toning + repetition in cycles. 

In his time in India, he shares the richness of heart and the fragility of life we all experience in these transformative spaces, whether through travel or by transmuting through sound. His resonance reminded me of the Beatles time at the Ashram in India, which inspired 40+ of their greatest hits of all time, a creative renaissance for my favorite + one of the greatest bands of ALL time! 

In discovering India, I discovered myself. 

That is exactly the energy he exudes through his music, and make sure to stay tuned till the end where I will share one of his Peace meditations, an Ashtanga Closing Mantra from his Invocation album. 

From Om to Shalom, my conversation with Nadav in this episode was truly one of the highlights of hosting this podcast! 

Learn how music can heal mental health + become a simple part of your healing practice.

About Nadav: 

Nadav Kahn is an Israeli-born, APRA award winning singer/songwriter, producer, meditation and mantra teacher & mentor. His first band Gelbison, was signed to EMI music, leading him to tour the world with various collaborative & solo projects, releasing 12 albums to date. Over 20 years, Nadav has spent extensive time in India on a quest for ‘something more’. It was there that he began studying the mystical powers of music, Vedic chants and also dived into Jewish mysticism. These experiences inspired his meditative albums in both Sanskrit and his native tongue, Hebrew. Nadav approaches his music-making as a sonic and meditative journey, using his voice as prayer to quiet the mind and open the heart to ones’ own innate wisdom.
