Episode Summary

• The Core Problem: People are stuck in unconscious patterns (thoughts, emotions, behaviours) that prevent lasting change, even with conscious effort. Coaches struggle to build sustainable businesses and help clients achieve lasting results.
• The Solution: Impact Maker Alliance™ provides a community and a 10-pathway Impact Ascension Model™ to meet individuals at any stage of growth, from personal development to professional coaching and leadership.
• The Offer: The LIGHT FLOW™ personal growth bundle (valued at $11,000) is available to podcast listeners for $888. Professional coaching pathways use Unconscious Mind tools (NLP, Time Line Therapy®) to support meaningful client transformation.
• The Vision: Impact Maker Alliance™ challenges the belief that people must choose between making an impact and making money, promoting an Impact Economy™ where financial success enables greater good, exemplified by the "Get Big to Give Big" philosophy.

• Personal Struggle: Many feel "something is missing" or are overwhelmed by anxiety, frustration, and self-doubt.
• The Unconscious Mind: Habits, beliefs, and automatic responses are deeply programmed, making conscious change difficult.
• Example: A driver is cut off, triggering an automatic angry reaction. Awareness creates a choice to respond intentionally.
• Coaching Gaps:
• Business: Passionate coaches lack clients and struggle with marketing and sales.
• Results: Clients understand concepts intellectually yet repeat old patterns because underlying issues may be unconscious.
• Analogy: "Like updating your laptop's software and expecting it to update your phone."

• Vision: An ecosystem for growth, collaboration, and impact, founded by Billie, who also co-founded Amplify Impact Academy with Melissa Deally.
• Impact Ascension Model™: A 10-pathway framework for evolution.
• 1. SPARK SEED™: Initial awareness of wanting more.
• 2. LIGHT FLOW™: Personal growth pathway to master thoughts, focus, and emotional state.
• Offer: Listener bundle valued at $11,000, available for $888.
• 3. KARMA CODE™: Professional training in Time Line Therapy® to address past emotional patterns.
• 4. DHARMA PATH™: Master Impact Coach pathway for advanced qualifications in Master NLP, Master Time Line Therapy®, Master Hypnotherapy, and Master NLP Results Coaching.
• 5–8. Trainer/Leadership: Advanced, invitation-only pathways for qualified graduates.
• 9. SOVEREIGN STAR™: All-in pathway incorporating the first eight pathways.
• 10. VISIONARY NOVA™: For aligned investors.

• Impact Economy™: Challenges the belief that impact and financial success are mutually exclusive.
• Rationale: Financial success enables greater impact, such as investing in education and supporting nonprofits like Girls Matter.
• Community: A core pillar, providing a supportive environment for people who feel like the "black sheep" to connect with like-minded individuals.
• Benefit: Shifting from "ME" to "WE" enables greater collective achievement ("1 + 1 = 11").

🏆 What if peak performance isn't about pushing harder — it's about learning to play freely? In Episode 295, I sit down with Denise to explore her journey from playing international netball to coaching Scotland's national team, and the realization that completely transformed how she understood pressure, performance, and the mind. 🧠✨

We dive into her book PlayFreely®️: The Spiritual Key to Athletic Excellence, the Three Principles of Mind, Consciousness and Thought, and her fascinating 50-50 approach to developing athletes — training the human dimension alongside technical and tactical skills. 🌟 We explore perfectionism, identity, expectations, intuition, and the difference between constantly striving and learning to thrive. Whether you're an athlete or simply someone placing enormous pressure on yourself to perform, this conversation may change the way you see your potential. 💫

Free gift: A free digital download of PlayFreely®️ - The Spiritual Key to Athletic Excellence. To access this, please email Denise at [email protected], and she will send you a one-time purchase code, so you can access the book for FREE!

• Athlete Experience: As a shooter for the 1995 Hong Kong national netball team, Denise experienced intense pressure and poor performance despite talent.
• Coaching Frustration: As Scotland's national coach (2008–2013), she saw the same pressure-induced underperformance in her athletes.
• Traditional techniques (NLP, CBT) were inconsistent and "hit or miss."
• Epiphany: After being let go from her coaching role, reading books by Jamie Smart and Michael Neal led to a profound insight: "I am making all this up."
• This revealed that reality is a projection of the mind, not a camera-like recording of external circumstances.
• This insight connected her to the work of Sidney Banks and the Three Principles (Mind, Consciousness, Thought).

• Career Shift: After her epiphany, Denise initially attracted clients with life struggles (addiction, illness) rather than athletes.
• She followed this "divine calling" for seven years before returning to her sports focus.
• The Book: Play Freely: The Spiritual Key to Athletic Excellence applies the Three Principles to sports.
• Structure: Personal story → Three Principles in sport → Real-world issues (retirement, grief).
• The Program: At the University of Kent, Denise implemented a "50-50 program" for netball.
• Goal: Dedicate 50% of training to technical/tactical skills and 50% to the "human dimension" (mind, consciousness, spirituality).
• Concept: Develop a "spiritual muscle" alongside physical conditioning.

• Identity: The book helps athletes see their true identity as creative potential, free from the need for external approval.
• Expectation vs. Exploration: High expectations are self-created stories that lead to disappointment.
• Example: Denise's club was initially indifferent to her return from Scotland. By not taking it personally and understanding their state of mind, she grew the club to 188 junior members and doubled revenue.
• Perfectionism: The "pressure illusion" stems from a belief that one is "not enough" unless they are the best.
• This creates a fork in the road:
• Striving: Grinding, determination, struggle.
• Thriving: Effortless flow, curiosity, intuition.
• The book helps athletes identify and release the thoughts that create this pressure.

About the Guest:

Denise Holland is a State of Mind Performance Specialist for youth, talent and elite sports. She supports talent and elite performers to understand the state of mind behind, clarity, confidence and flow.

A former international netball athlete, National Coach for Scotland Netball, England Superleague coach and author of PlayFreely® – The Spiritual Key to Athletic Excellence, Denise brings over 35 years of lived experience in high-performance sport to her work with talented athletes, coaches and parents.

Through PlayFreely®, she points athletes towards a fresh understanding of performance, one that does not rely on mindset training, mental toughness or techniques for controlling the mind.

Instead, her work helps athletes see where their experience is coming from in the moment, and how pressure, overthinking, fear of mistakes and the need to prove themselves begin to settle when state of mind is understood more clearly.

This understanding is especially relevant for young athletes in clubs, academies, universities and talent pathways, where selection, expectation, confidence and identity can become closely tied to performance.

✨ What happens when you've achieved the success you were told to pursue, yet something inside still feels unfulfilled? In Episode 294, I sit down with Graham Skidmore, whose 21-year career at Rocket Mortgage eventually led to burnout and a healing journey that brought together Western science with Eastern, Indigenous, and spiritual approaches. 🌿 Rather than viewing his unique physiology solely through diagnostic labels, Graham began exploring a different question: What if these differences could also hold gifts?

🧠💫 We explore the integrated healing model behind the Harmony Health Institute, addressing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of the person. Graham shares his framework of Growth, Restoration, and Reclamation — shifting from seeing life as happening to us toward exploring what our experiences may teach us, transforming our relationship with past trauma, and reclaiming parts of ourselves we may have lost along the way. ❤️‍🩹 This conversation is an invitation to look beyond one-size-fits-all healthcare and explore what whole-person healing can mean for you.

Free gift: For the first 10 people who respond by connecting with me on my website, (https://harmonyhealthinstitute.com) I will offer a free session to help people understand themselves as beings of consciousness going through an experiential learning process that expands their consciousness, gifts, abilities, and wisdom and offer guidance to assist them with healing and enjoying their journey.

• Catalyst for Change: Burnout as a Rocket Mortgage executive led to a healing journey integrating Western and Eastern approaches. Western medicine's labels (ADHD, etc.) felt limiting; Eastern views reframed his unique physiology as a spiritual gift, not a defect.
• Integrated Healing Model: The Harmony Health Institute provides "scalable individualized care" by addressing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies. This model offers choice (tech-guided vs. practitioner-led) to meet diverse needs, contrasting with Western medicine's "one box" approach.
• Core Philosophy: Graham Skidmore's framework—Growth, Restoration, Reclamation—shifts perspective from "things happening to us" to "things happening for us." This reframing transmutes trauma into gratitude and empowers individuals to reclaim their authentic selves.

• Graham Skidmore's 21-year career at Rocket Mortgage culminated in burnout and unfulfillment despite achieving traditional success.
• Western Medicine's Approach:
• Diagnoses (ADHD, dyslexia, etc.) provided labels but felt limiting, causing a loss of confidence.
• Prescriptions offered temporary relief but didn't address the root cause.
• Integrated Healing Approach:
• Combined Western science with Eastern, indigenous, and spiritual practices.
• Shifted perspective: unique physiology is a spiritual gift, not a defect.
• This integrated view enabled true healing and clarified his life's purpose.

• Mission: Provide "scalable individualized care" where traditional medicine leaves off, focusing on life enjoyment, not just biomarkers.
• Approach: Address the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies.
• Framework: Growth, Restoration, Reclamation.
• Growth: Reframe life events as catalysts for learning.
• Restoration: Transmute trauma (guilt, shame) into gratitude.
• Reclamation: Reclaim lost parts of the authentic self.
• Structure: Offers choice in delivery (tech-guided vs. practitioner-led) and integrates diverse modalities:
• Traditional: Psychology, psychotherapy, chiropractic, PT, addiction counseling.
• Non-Traditional: Yoga, breathwork, human development (e.g., Human Design).

About the Guest:

Graham Skidmore is a former Rocket Mortgage executive turned entrepreneur, activist, and mystic. After reaching the traditional markers of success — six-figure income, the house, the car, the country club membership — he found himself burned out, miserable, and unfulfilled. That collapse became the catalyst for a deeper healing journey, one he now teaches as a cycle of personal growth: restoration of the genuine, authentic self and reclamation of the connection with the higher self — transforming life events from happening to us into happening for us.

Graham now works at the intersection of consciousness, healing, and human potential, building life-centric ecosystems — education, tools, community, and systems — that give people the infrastructure to understand themselves as beings of consciousness going through an experiential learning process that expands their consciousness, gifts, abilities, and wisdom. His work centers on providing power to the people, starting in the health and wellness space, and reflects his belief that technology, including AI, should be used to enrich human agency rather than replace it.

His broader mission is to build bridges that deepen our understanding of the human spectrum and experience — he sees this work as creating space for new ways of being to emerge during Earth's justice-through-restoration period, focused on living in alignment with the divine intelligent design. He believes that when individuals are truly supported, we can build a world of happy, healthy, productive, and empowered people.

• Work stress is a crisis: 6/10 US/Canadian workers are "workaholics" (defined by constant work thoughts, Sunday anxiety, Friday relief), leading to burnout and health issues.
• Burnout rewires the brain for survival: Chronic stress depletes GABA, shifting the brain from creative problem-solving to a reactive "fight or flight" mode.
• Simple tools calm the nervous system: Techniques like conscious breathing, hand massage, and self-hugs trigger calming neurotransmitters (serotonin, oxytocin) to counteract stress.
• Free resources are available: Happy Organizations offers a free, anonymous "Workaholics Anonymous Lab" and a complimentary neuroscience workshop for Melissa's audience.

• Daniela's work was inspired by her own stress-induced hospitalization 20 years ago.
• The average person spends ~90,000 hours at work, making purpose and happiness essential.
• "Don't wait for your wake up call" → Find purpose now to avoid deathbed regrets.
• "Workaholics Anonymous Lab"
• A free, anonymous online support group (Saturdays via Google Meets).
• Created by Happy Organizations, Inc. (a collective of scientists, strategists, etc.) to address the crisis.
• Goal: Provide tools to regulate the nervous system without organizational pressure.
• Rationale: Free access ensures no worker is left without support due to cost.

• Chronic stress depletes GABA: This neurotransmitter, which normally promotes calm, is overused.
• Brain shifts to survival mode: The system enters "fight or flight," focusing on defense over creativity.
• Consequences:
• Impaired decision-making
• Reduced conflict resolution skills
• Increased susceptibility to illness
• Productivity research: Shorter workweeks (e.g., 4-day) increase productivity and loyalty, proving less work with more consciousness is more effective.

• These tools are divided into pre-work, during-work, and post-work categories.
• Conscious Breathing:
• Stress → fast, shallow mouth breathing, which signals danger to the nervous system.
• Technique: Nose breath, hold, mouth exhale. This calms the system and improves brain function.
• Self-Massage:
• Massaging hands and fingers triggers calming neurotransmitters (serotonin, oxytocin).
• Benefit: A discreet way to self-regulate during stressful meetings.
• Self-Hugs:
• A powerful way to self-soothe, best done in private (e.g., a bathroom break).
• Water:
• Drinking water and submerging hands can have a calming effect.

Episode Summary:

• Personal Burnout as Catalyst: Jessica's 90-hour workweeks led to a public nervous breakdown, which she recovered from using functional health. This experience became the foundation for her practice, Phoenix Functional Health.
• Proactive Health Strategy: The core message is to address health issues early ("whispers") to prevent major crises ("screaming"). This proactive approach treats health as a business asset, enabling founders to operate at their peak.
• Functional Labs for Precision: Functional lab tests are the cornerstone of the method. Unlike standard medical tests, they use optimal health ranges to identify subtle imbalances in hormones, gut health, and more, eliminating guesswork.
• Holistic, Phased Implementation: A 6-month program uses comprehensive lab data to create a "Performance Blueprint." Implementation is phased, starting with small, high-impact changes to avoid client overwhelm.

• Jessica's career began in massage therapy (2008), focusing on the mind-body connection through Shiatsu and Qigong.
• A period of extreme overwork (90-hour weeks) led to a public nervous breakdown, characterized by severe irritability and feeling physically fragile.
• Key Insight: Recovery showed the limits of "soft" healing arts alone. Functional health testing revealed fundamental imbalances (gut, hormones, stress) that were the root cause.
• Outcome: Correcting these imbalances restored her resilience, allowing her to handle a 70-hour workweek without feeling overwhelmed. This experience inspired her to help other founders avoid the same path.

• A critical distinction was made between "common" (frequently experienced) and "normal" (a sign of optimal health).
• Common but Not Normal Symptoms:
• Headaches
• Over-reliance on caffeine
• Fatigue
• Poor sleep (e.g., waking at 2–3 a.m.)
• The Body's Communication Analogy:
• Whispers: Early, subtle symptoms.
• Yelling: Major crises or disease.
• Societal Pattern: Waiting for a major crisis before addressing health, which leads to longer, more difficult recovery.

• Functional lab tests provide objective data to interpret the body's signals, removing guesswork and client self-blame.
• Key Differences from Standard Medical Tests:
• Standard: Uses broad "normal" ranges based on a sick population, often missing subtle issues.
• Functional: Uses optimal ranges for thriving health, identifying imbalances before they become severe.
• Melissa's Example: Daily migraines were resolved by identifying and correcting low progesterone via functional labs, a cause her doctor missed.
• Core Principle: Symptoms are not isolated.
• Same System → Different Symptoms: Hormonal imbalance can cause headaches in one person and fatigue in another.
• Same Symptom → Different Systems: Headaches can stem from hormones for one person and inflammation for another.
• Conclusion: This requires a personalized, non-cookie-cutter approach.

• 1. Comprehensive Lab Testing: A suite of tests provides a full picture of interconnected systems.
• Tests Cover: Hormones, immune function, inflammation, gut balance, minerals, food sensitivities, detox capacity, blood sugar, and thyroid function.
• 2. Performance Blueprint: A personalized plan is developed from lab data and client history.
• Includes: Diet, exercise, stress management, sleep hygiene, and targeted supplementation to resource the body.
• 3. Phased Implementation: The 6-month program introduces changes incrementally.
• Rationale: Prevents overwhelm by focusing on small, high-impact steps.
• Goal: Not perfection, but learning the body's language to make informed choices.

About the Guest:

Jessica Van Antoine, FDN-P, is the founder of Phoenix Functional Health, a performance health practice for high-achieving female founders who are doing many of the “right” things—eating well, exercising, taking supplements, trying to manage stress—and still don’t quite feel like themselves.

After nearly 20 years in health and wellness, Jessica has learned that fatigue, brain fog, restless sleep, irritability, and slower recovery rarely belong in separate boxes. They’re signals. Her work combines functional lab testing with personalized nutrition, lifestyle, and nervous-system support to uncover the larger pattern, reduce the guesswork, and identify what matters first.

This work is personal. During a chapter of 90-hour workweeks, Jessica kept pushing until the glass finally shattered: she found herself curled beneath her desk, sobbing, unable to carry one more demand. Rebuilding taught her that the answer wasn’t less ambition. Her body needed better resources.

Today, Jessica helps women listen before their bodies have to scream. Her goal isn’t to hand them another overwhelming wellness plan, but to help them understand what’s draining the body and brain their business depends on—so they can feel like themselves again and have enough of themselves left for the lives they’re building.

🌎✨ What if the healthcare option you've been searching for exists somewhere else in the world? Inspired by my recent trip to Split, Croatia, Episode 191 explores medical tourism — why people travel internationally for more affordable care, shorter wait times, specialized treatments, and healing options that may not be available at home. We explore the possibilities alongside the importance of researching providers, understanding the evidence, considering the risks, and planning for follow-up care. ✈️🩺

💫 Most importantly, this episode is about self-advocacy and self-responsibility. There is more than one way to heal, and healing is never one-size-fits-all. Ask questions, seek second opinions, explore your options, listen to your body, and find practitioners who respect your voice and your personal goals. 🌿 Your healing journey belongs to you — and sometimes finding the resources you need means looking beyond the borders of what you've always known. 🌎✨

Episode Summary:

• Medical tourism is a growing option for Americans seeking care abroad for lower costs, shorter waits, or access to unapproved treatments.
• Thorough due diligence is essential to mitigate risks like variable standards, lack of follow-up care, and hidden costs (e.g., travel, complications).
• Self-advocacy is key: Ask critical questions of all practitioners (conventional and alternative) to understand options, risks, and evidence, ensuring decisions align with personal goals.
• A holistic view of healing is critical, addressing the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies to create an environment where the body can heal.

• Inspired by a trip to Split, Croatia, where people travel for high-quality, affordable care (e.g., dental work).
• CDC data: Millions of Americans travel annually for procedures like dental work, cosmetic surgery, and cancer treatments.
• Primary motivations:
• Lower costs
• Shorter waiting lists
• Access to specialists or unapproved treatments
• Seeking alternative healthcare philosophies

• Healing requires addressing root causes, not just symptoms.
• Four bodies for healing:
• Physical: Nutrition, movement, sleep, toxicity.
• Emotional: Trauma release, stress management (shifting from fight-or-flight to rest-and-digest).
• Mental: Beliefs about healing; a negative mindset can block progress.
• Spiritual: Purpose and connection.

• Self-advocacy means participating in your care, not abandoning conventional medicine.
• Key questions to ask any practitioner:
• What are my other options?
• What happens if I do/don't do this?
• Are there clinical trials or complementary approaches?
• What does the research actually say?
• Find practitioners who welcome your voice; you are the expert on your own body.

• Research the provider:
• Credentials, accreditation, number of procedures performed.
• Outcomes, complication rates, and published research (not just testimonials).
• Understand post-procedure logistics:
• Who handles follow-up care?
• What is the plan for complications (e.g., infection) at home?
• Will your home doctor have access to records?
• Will your insurance cover complications from an international procedure?
• Be aware of variable standards: Licensing, infection control, and device regulations differ globally.
• Factor in total cost: Include travel, lodging, medication, lost income, and potential complication care.

What’s really impacting the health of our children? 🌱👶 In this thought-provoking episode, Dr. Perro shares her perspective on the potential role of GMOs, glyphosate, environmental toxins, nutrition, and the gut microbiome in childhood health. She also explores homeopathy and why she believes empowering parents to ask questions, trust their observations, and advocate for their children is essential. 💛✨

💛 Through nutrition, homeopathy, careful observation, and her book Making Our Children Well, she encourages parents to ask questions, become informed advocates, and consider each child's individual needs rather than relying solely on a one-size-fits-all approach.

Her message: Don’t wait for a wake-up call—become an active participant in your family’s health. 🌎

Key Takeaways

• GMOs & Glyphosate Drive Chronic Illness: The 1996 introduction of GMOs and glyphosate correlates with a surge in childhood gut issues and autism. Glyphosate, an antibiotic and chelator, damages the gut microbiome and transports toxins like aluminum across the blood-brain barrier.
• Infant Formula & Vaccines Are Toxic: Infant formula is a baby's first ultra-processed food, containing undeclared mercury from high-fructose corn syrup. The vaccine schedule has exploded from 5 doses in 1962 to 75 today, overwhelming immature immune systems with toxic adjuvants like aluminum.
• Empowerment Is the Solution: Dr. Perro's book, Making Our Children Well, provides a practical guide for parents to use nutrition and homeopathy, shifting from a pharma-centric model to one of self-empowerment and intuitive observation.
• Corporate & Regulatory Obstruction: Dr. Perro faced significant resistance, including vetoed legislation for clean infant formula, censorship from YouTube and publishers, and an $800k campaign by Abbott (Similac) to block GMO labeling.

Topics

The Problem: Environmental Toxins & Rising Illness

• Dr. Perro's Path to Integrative Medicine:
• A pediatric ER doctor for 45 years, Dr. Perro was driven to holistic care by her son's health issues and the dramatic 5-minute efficacy of a homeopathic remedy.
• Her research into GMOs and pesticides began after successfully fighting a toxic pesticide spray in California.
• She observed a direct correlation between the 1996 introduction of GMOs and a sharp rise in chronic gut issues and autism in her practice.
• The Toxic Food System:
• GMOs are engineered for herbicide resistance, not nutrition. They are at least 20% less nutrient-dense.
• Glyphosate (Roundup) is an antibiotic that damages the gut microbiome.
• It is a chelator, binding essential minerals (calcium, magnesium) and transporting toxic metals (aluminum) across the blood-brain barrier.
• The gut microbiome, which coordinates all major organ systems, is severely disrupted by these toxins.
• Toxins in Early Life:
• Infant Formula: A study of 40 formulas found undeclared mercury from high-fructose corn syrup.
• Abbott (Similac) spent $800k to block GMO labeling in California.
• Legislation for clean formula has been repeatedly vetoed.
• Vaccines: The schedule has increased from 5 doses in 1962 to 75 today.
• This overwhelms immature immune systems with toxic adjuvants (aluminum, formaldehyde).
• Precision Pediatrics: Dr. Perro argues immunomodulation should not be used on a child without first evaluating their unique terrain (microbiome, genetics, toxic load).

The Solution: Empowerment Through Nutrition & Homeopathy

• Empowering Parents: Dr. Perro's book, Making Our Children Well, is a practical guide for parents to take control of their family's health.
• Nutrition Section: Covers pantry setup, food elimination, and microbiome health.
• Homeopathy Section: Provides remedies for common issues (croup, sprains) from prenatal care to adolescence.
• Resources: Includes vetted brands and organizations.
• Format: Designed as a paperback with note sections for tracking individual responses.
• The "Flicka" Story:
• Dr. Perro used homeopathy to save her sick chicken, Flicka, from near death.
• Remedies Used:
• Arsenicum Album for weakness and warmth-seeking.
• Carbo Vegetabilis for a crash with blue comb.
• Arnica Montana for a concussion.
• This demonstrates the power of observation and individualized treatment.
• "Don't Wait for Your Wake Up Call" → Self-Empowerment:
• Parents are the best judges of their children's health.
• Develop intuitive observation skills to guide treatment, as a 15-minute pediatrician visit is insufficient.

What if your body has been holding onto experiences your mind has long forgotten? 🤯

In this powerful conversation, Kelsey shares her remarkable journey from struggling with IBS, thyroid issues, and nervous system dysregulation to discovering that unresolved trauma was at the root of her physical symptoms. Through somatic breathwork, plant medicine, and deep inner healing, she learned that lasting transformation happens when we address the connection between the mind and body—not just the symptoms.

Today, Kelsey is helping others on their own healing journeys, preparing to facilitate Iboga ceremonies, host transformational breathwork retreats, and write her first book. Her story is a beautiful reminder that healing unfolds one courageous step at a time and that even our greatest challenges can become our greatest purpose. ✨🌎

• Kelsey's healing journey revealed that physical symptoms (IBS, thyroid issues) were rooted in unaddressed trauma, which caused her health to relapse despite initial progress.
• Plant medicine (Iboga) and somatic breathwork were key to releasing stored trauma from the body, a process talk therapy alone couldn't achieve.
• Kelsey's future includes Iboga facilitation in Colombia, initiation into the Bwiti tribe in Gabon, and writing a book—goals previously impossible due to nervous system dysregulation.
• Offer: A complimentary group breathwork session this fall. Email [email protected] to register.

• Kelsey's journey began in fitness, using intense exercise to manage an indescribable internal feeling.
• During COVID, she pursued functional health training (Dr. Cabral's IHP program) to address personal issues:
• IBS
• Low thyroid
• Skin breakouts
• Protocols provided initial relief, but symptoms repeatedly returned, revealing a deeper root cause.

• Insight: Reading The Body Keeps the Score connected her physical symptoms to stored trauma, explaining her severe nervous system dysregulation (e.g., inability to sit still, panic attacks in traffic).
• Iboga (Plant Medicine):
• A spontaneous trip to a retreat in Colombia led to an Iboga ceremony.
• Outcome: A profound release of childhood trauma, symbolized by a "lightning bolt" leaving her body, resolving her nervous system issues.
• Somatic Breathwork:
• Sought a trauma-release tool accessible to clients.
• Personal Breakthrough: During training, a psychic reading connected a heart contraction to unresolved trauma from a 2017 abusive relationship.
• Process: A subsequent breathwork session triggered an intense physical release (shaking, crying), finally processing the trauma.
• Significance: This experience provided direct insight into how trauma manifests physically and how breathwork can release it, making her a more empathetic practitioner.

• Kelsey integrates mind-body principles into her IHP practice, explaining the trauma connection to physical ailments.
• She respects client readiness, offering resources without pressure.
• Example: A client resistant to therapy eventually sought help for self-sabotage, demonstrating the importance of planting seeds.
• Philosophy: Healing is a lifelong journey of consistent "baby steps," not a single destination.

• Kelsey's healing has opened new doors:
• Iboga Facilitation: Invited to facilitate Iboga ceremonies in Colombia after initiation into the Bwiti tribe in Gabon this year.
• Book Writing: Joined a mentorship program, overcoming a past belief that she couldn't write due to nervous system dysregulation.
• Breathwork Retreats: Planning future retreats combining healing, travel, and fun.
• Core Principle: "Lead with love," finding gratitude in past challenges to fuel her purpose.

Episode 288 Recap: Your Brain Is Listening… What Are You Teaching It? 🧠✨

What if the greatest limitation in your life isn't your circumstances… it's your beliefs?

In Episode 288, I sit down with Dr. Patrick Porter, creator of BrainTap, for a fascinating conversation about brain fitness, stress, neuroplasticity, and the incredible power of the Unconscious Mind.

We explore how your brain functions as an electrical system, why quality sleep is essential for healing and peak performance, and how chronic stress keeps your brain from creating lasting change. Dr. Porter also shares how techniques like NLP can help reprogram old patterns so you can move beyond the past and create a new future.

The most powerful reminder from this episode?

✨ You are the one you've been waiting for.

You don't need a breakdown to create a breakthrough. Every day is a new opportunity to activate your potential and consciously create the life you desire.

FREE TRIAL: Listeners can learn more and explore our technology by visiting braintap.com. We also love to provide a special link for your audience to receive a free trial of the BrainTap app so they can experience the benefits of brain fitness for themselves.

• Podcast Recorded: Dr. Porter was a guest on the "Don't Wait for Your Wake Up Call" podcast, discussing brain fitness, stress, and reprogramming the unconscious mind.
• Podcast Key Message: "You are the one you've been waiting for." Take personal responsibility for your health and happiness, as you have the power to create your reality.

• Dr. Porter's Background:
• Grew up with his father, a Silva instructor, who used hypnosis to overcome alcoholism.
• Invented the MC Square, the first portable light and sound machine, inspired by how fire's 10 Hz frequency induces relaxation.
• Reverse-engineered the SILS device (Sensory Input Learning System) after its creator passed, leading to BrainTap.
• The Brain's Electrical Nature:
• MIT research confirms the brain is an electrical system; the electron transport chain (thoughts) leads, and chemical reactions follow.
• A 1994 UK study proved the body is a Wi-Fi network, not just a chemical solution.
• The body emits infrared light (photons) that codes cellular instructions. A COVID study found those viewing it as a threat emitted 200x less light than those viewing it as a challenge.
• Stress & Recovery:
• Stress is growth, but chronic stress without recovery prevents neuroplasticity.
• A newborn's brain operates at 18.1 volts; this drops to ~10.1 volts by age 21 due to neural pruning.
• Dementia Study: BrainTap increased brain voltage, removing all participants from the dementia scale in six weeks.
• Sleep as a Sport: Quality sleep is non-negotiable for brain health.
• Requirement: 1 hour deep sleep (for glial lymphatic detox) + 2 hours REM (for organizing/prioritizing).
• Finding: A study of Australian coal miners showed they slept 10 hours but got only 1 minute deep sleep and 2 minutes REM.
• Reprogramming the Unconscious Mind:
• The unconscious mind, like a fourth-grader, never loses an argument; it must be given a better task.
• Change Personal History Technique (NLP): Re-experience a memory with new wisdom. The brain cannot distinguish real from imagined, neutralizing the past's negative impact.
• Analogy: Forgive the person, forget the experience, but retain the learning. Discard the "green and fuzzy" leftovers of the past.
• "Don't Wait for Your Wake Up Call" Meaning:
• "You don't need a breakdown to have a breakthrough."
• Every morning is your wake-up call to activate your infinite potential.
• The greatest limit is your belief system, not your consciousness.

Ever felt stuck and unsure of how to move forward? You’re not broken—you’re simply missing resources. And here’s the truth…

✨ You already have everything you need inside of you—you just haven’t been taught how to access it yet.

In this powerful episode, I introduce you to the Unconscious Mind—the 90% of your mind that holds your deepest wisdom, access to your blueprint for healing, and all the resources you’ve been searching for 🌟🧠

🔑 Key Highlights:

• When we feel trapped in cycles of frustration, self-sabotage, or emotional overwhelm, it’s not a personal failing—it's a signal that we're missing internal resources
• Your unconscious mind is like a vast storage room of everything you need to thrive—if you know how to access it 🔓
• Techniques like Timeline Therapy®, hypnosis, and anchoring are not magic—they’re methods to help you reconnect with your own inner power
• Shifting from Victim Island to Solution City happens when you stop looking outside yourself for answers and start exploring the immense wisdom already within you
• Your childhood programming runs much of your adult life—updating that code can change everything

💬 What if the solution you’re searching for isn’t out there, but already inside you, waiting to be discovered?

It’s time to stop spinning your wheels and start learning how to unlock the gifts within your own mind. Tune into this episode to get started.
