October 08Healing Childhood Trauma and Embracing Personal Truth
Clinical psychologist Jan Harrell, a friend of Fiona's for over 40 years, shares how a childhood of being left shaped her, and what she has learned about healing. Jan believes every one of us is set up for some kind of trauma, because we begin life in oneness with our mother and then meet separateness. She offers a gentler way to see our struggles: not as proof that something is wrong with us, but as a call to an inner school. Fiona shares her own story of starting school late, being teased, and the parents who met her with support and love instead of praise or criticism. Together they explore dropping self-judgment, accepting our helplessness, and learning from our lives the way a scientist learns from an experiment. Jan's website is www.seekingsomethingmore.com, and her other links are below.
In This Episode
Our first experience is oneness
Jan sets out her philosophical framework: in the womb we are one with our mother and expect to be cared for and safe.
Meeting the reality of separate life sets every one of us up for trauma, whether big or subtle, and no matter how loving our parents were.
Jan's story
When Jan was three, her mother left her violently angry father, who, Jan learned years later, had a brain tumor.
Unable to find work or help in Reno, her mother boarded Jan for six months while working nights at a casino, and Jan saw her once a week.
Jan took away two beliefs: that she wasn't wanted, and that she would be left.
She chose to accept that anyone can leave, and to live fully regardless, making herself the non-negotiable in her own life.
Her mother's lesson: do the right thing no matter what.

Her blog is at seekingsomethingmore.wordpress.com
Jan's books that you can find on Amazon are: 'Personal Strength SpiritualJoy"Briding Heaven and Earth' and 'Love Now!Untangling Relationships'
Why we can't get "beyond" what we haven't resolved
Every emotion that takes us out of our inner peace holds a lesson.
Instead of asking "what's wrong with me?", Jan invites us to see struggle as a call to school.
Self-blame and the reality of helplessness
Anything can happen to any of us at any time, and it isn't because we did something wrong.
Blaming ourselves ("if only I were prettier, richer, better") can be a way of avoiding our helplessness.
The one power we always have is knowing our own truth and choosing whether to share it.
Growing like every living thing
We are evolving life forms who start small and grow as far as genetics and circumstances allow.
Like children excited to start kindergarten, we can celebrate growth instead of feeling shame about where we are.
Fiona's story
Fiona started school at eight and a half, with a brain that learns differently, an accent that wasn't welcome, and frizzy hair.
She had to learn the alphabet, and she learned it through singing.
Until school she felt whole and loved, and the teasing was the first time she felt she wasn't good enough.
Her parents offered neither praise nor criticism, only "let's see how we can help." Her dad reminded her she was smart, just in an environment that didn't support her kind of brain.
No judgment, no praise
Jan says we all need to grant ourselves the right to exist as we are. We didn't design our packages.
Compliments are really a sign of connection and resonance, and a reminder that we're not alone.
Living like a scientist
Scientists don't beat themselves up when an experiment fails. They analyze, reformulate, and try again.
Applied to life, this means asking: where did that feeling come from, and how else could I handle it?
Key Takeaways
Some degree of trauma is part of being human, and it says nothing about our worth.
Struggle is a call to learn, not proof that something is wrong with us.
Self-blame can be a way of avoiding helplessness. Our real power is knowing and sharing our own truth.
Approaching our lives with curiosity, like scientists, replaces shame with growth.
Try It Yourself
Take a breath: When the alarm of self-judgment goes off, let it be a cue to pause and remember: nothing is wrong. I may not like it, but that's different from something being wrong.
Ask like a scientist: Look back with hindsight and ask what you've learned and what you might do differently.
Celebrate your growth: Meet where you are the way a child starts kindergarten, excited to learn.
Reflection Questions
What early experience taught you that you weren't safe, wanted, or enough?
Where do you blame yourself to avoid feeling helpless?
What would change if you saw your struggles as a call to school?
How could you grant yourself the right to exist exactly as you are?
Notable Quotes
"Rather than looking at struggle as 'What's wrong with me?', look at it as a call to school. I need to learn more about the undercurrents of what's going on so I can integrate and transcend the lesson." — Jan Harrell

"The only power we have is the power to know our own truth and to share it if we choose to. Everything else can be taken from us." — Jan Harrell

"Scientists don't sit around kicking themselves if an experiment goes awry. They analyze, reformulate, and do another study. If we live as scientists, we use hindsight to refine our actions with curiosity instead of shame." — Jan Harrell

September 29Your Words Matter: How Everything we Say Affects Our Body and Our Life
Every Word We Speak Matters: Mind, Emotions, Body and Life
Every word we speak matters. It affects our mind, our emotions, our body, and our life. In this episode of Words... with Jill, Fiona and Jill explore the energy of language and how conscious speech changes the way we move through the world.
The idea that words carry power is ancient. Sanskrit traditions hold speech as sacred, and Kabbalah sees the Hebrew letters as the building blocks of creation. Today, research on self-talk and on putting feelings into words suggests that the language we use can ease stress and change how we respond to difficult moments.
Drawing on Florence Scovel Shinn's classic Your Word Is Your Wand, Fiona and Jill share practical ways to reframe conflict, meet everyday encounters with empathy, and be gentle with yourself when emotions run high. You'll come away with a new awareness of what you say to others and to yourself, and how much of it is your choice.
This week, notice one word you use often. How does it feel in your body?
Spiritual and cultural traditions on words
Buddhism: Right Speech is one of the steps of the Eightfold Path: speak truthfully, kindly, and without harshness or gossip.
Hebrew Bible and Judaism: Proverbs 18:21 says death and life are in the power of the tongue. The teaching against lashon hara (harmful speech) is central to Jewish ethics.
Christianity: The Gospel of John opens with "In the beginning was the Word."
Ancient Egypt: In the Memphite theology, the god Ptah creates the world by thinking and then speaking it. Heka, the power of the spoken word, was central to Egyptian magic and healing.
Hawaiian tradition: A well-known saying, "I ka ʻōlelo nō ke ola, i ka ʻōlelo nō ka make," means "in the word is life, in the word is death."
Islam and Sufism: Dhikr is the repetition of sacred names as a practice, and a well-known hadith says to speak good or remain silent.
Toltec wisdom: Don Miguel Ruiz's The Four Agreements opens with "Be impeccable with your word."
Aboriginal Australian tradition: Songlines carry the creation of the land through song and speech. Since you know Australia well, you may want to speak to this one yourself.
Words, affirmations, and the body
You Can Heal Your Life by Louise Hay (1984): affirmations and the link between thought patterns and physical wellbeing.
The Game of Life and How to Play It by Florence Scovel Shinn (1925): her earlier companion to Your Word Is Your Wand.
The Biology of Belief by Bruce Lipton (2005): how beliefs may influence cells and health. It's popular science, and some of its claims are debated.
Molecules of Emotion by Candace Pert (1997): the science-and-emotion link from a neuroscientist.
Your Body Believes Every Word You Say: The Language of the Body/Mind Connection by Barbara Hoberman Levine
Language and the brain
Words Can Change Your Brain by Andrew Newberg and Mark Robert Waldman (2012)
Chatter by Ethan Kross (2021): the inner voice and how to work with it.
Opening Up (1990) and Writing to Heal (2004) by James Pennebaker: the research on expressive writing.
Conscious and compassionate speech
The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz (1997): "Be impeccable with your word."
Nonviolent Communication by Marshall Rosenberg: speaking from needs and empathy rather than blame.
The Art of Communicating by Thich Nhat Hanh (2013): Buddhist Right Speech in practice.
Sacred sound and letters
Healing Mantras by Thomas Ashley-Farrand (1999): Sanskrit mantra and its effects.
Sefer Yetzirah, translated by Aryeh Kaplan (1990): the Kabbalistic text on creation through letters.

September 21Beyond the Mirror — Body Image, Aging, and True Inner Beauty with Jill
Episode Description
Jill looks back on her time in Hollywood as a successful actress, including a stay at the Chateau Marmont in the 1960s and a friendship with Sonny & Cher, and on what she learned by stepping away from it. She talks about making peace with her natural, aging body, how culture defines beauty, and what caring for wounded soldiers taught her about worth. She closes with simple daily practices for meeting yourself with love.
In This Episode
Hollywood and friendship with Cher
Jill recalls staying at the Chateau Marmont in the 1960s while making a film, and being invited by Sonny & Cher to stay with them.
She explains why she stepped away from acting and how she came to peace with her natural, aging body.
She discusses the pressure on public figures to keep a certain look through cosmetic surgery, versus embracing natural aging.
Shifting our perspective on beauty and worth
Inner essence over outer image: Real beauty shows in a person's presence and eyes, not in external perfection.
Cultural conditioning: Advertisers, media, and the fashion industry set arbitrary beauty standards that change over time and across cultures.
Lessons from nursing and service
Jill shares a pivotal experience serving in a military hospital during the Vietnam War era.
Connecting deeply with severely injured soldiers taught her that true human connection and beauty are rooted in spirit and love, beyond physical appearance.
Key Takeaways
The beauty standards we absorb are cultural and constantly shifting, so they are a poor measure of our worth.
What people notice and remember about us is our presence, especially our eyes.
Love and spirit, not appearance, are what connect us to one another.
Try It Yourself: Daily Practices
Mirror practice: Each morning, look deeply into your own eyes with love rather than shame, guilt, or judgment.
Self-expression: Wear colors that reflect your mood and authentic self each day.
Daily affirmation: "I am love, I am loved."
Reflection Questions
When did you last look at yourself in the mirror with kindness?
Whose standards of beauty are you still carrying?
What would change if you measured yourself by presence and love instead of appearance?

September 10Healing and Transforming Through Laughter with Craig Shoemaker
In this uplifting episode, host Fiona Whitmore speaks with veteran comedian and transformational performer Craig Shoemaker about his journey from touring stand-up comedy to pioneering laughter as a intentional healing modality. Craig shares how personal experiences, life-changing moments with audience members, and deep reflections on human nature inspired him to launch intentional laughter programs, guided "lafatations," and interactive wellness tools designed to reset negative energy and promote physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Key Takeaways & Highlights
The Shift to Laughter as Healing: After decades in stand-up comedy, Craig realized that laughter goes beyond entertainment—it serves as a profound therapeutic tool capable of shifting personal energy and improving well-being.
The Power of Intentional Laughter: Unlike subjective observational comedy, intentional laughter exercises (such as "chuckle chatter" and "laugh baths") allow individuals to reset their energy instantly without needing a specific joke or punchline.
Overcoming Conditioning: How societal rules and upbringing often suppress our natural, childlike state of joy, love, and laughter—and how simple daily practices can help us deprogram those limits.
Community & Group Experiences: The impact of group intentional laughter, including Craig's "laugh mob" flash-style events and live virtual "Uplift Zooms" designed to build connection and collective high vibrations.
Practices & Exercises Mentioned
The 90-Second Reset: Taking a deep breath through the nose and releasing a cleansing "HA" sound (a sacred pause to interrupt negative or fear-based reaction loops).
Chuckle Chatter: Intentionally laughing out loud while speaking about obstacles, fears, or situations holding you back, helping to dissolve emotional weight and shift personal vibration.
Laugh Baths: Guided group sessions utilizing vocal laughter and intentional breathwork to cleanse internal energy, similar to a sound bath.

July 31 How to find peace in a troubled world
This episode focuses on finding inner peace, achieving emotional balance, and understanding how our internal state ripples outward to affect the people and environment around us.
🔑 Key Concepts & Discussion Points
1. The Power of Smiling & Endorphins
Mother Teresa Quote: Dina brings up Mother Teresa’s quote, "Peace begins with a smile."
The "Lip Corner" Technique: Fiona explains that physically keeping the corners of the lips turned up—even slightly—triggers the release of endorphins. This physiological response helps reduce negative thinking, relieve stress, and improve overall well-being.2. Inner Alignment vs. External Control
Abraham Hicks Quote: Fiona shares a quote emphasizing that peace is not achieved by attempting to control the external
world, but through internal alignment and accepting where you are in the present moment.
Emerson Reference: Dina references Ralph Waldo Emerson’s idea that "Nothing can bring you peace but yourself," connecting it to Newton's law of cause and effect (every action has a reaction).
3. The Ripple (Butterfly) Effect
The hosts discuss how an individual's mood directly impacts others—such as how a customer's attitude at a checkout counter can instantly shift a cashier's demeanor.
Positive energy and peace radiate outward, creating a wider ripple effect in the community.
4. Practical Tools for Restoring Peace
Fiona highlights several accessible techniques to reset the nervous system when feeling stressed:
Connecting with Nature: Spending time outdoors, touching a houseplant, or simply observing a dandelion growing through sidewalk cement.
Humming: Humming for just 10 seconds helps balance the vagus nerve, which regulates anxiety, stress, and overall bodily organ function.
EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique / Tapping): A powerful tool to release repetitive negative thoughts or physical tension that disrupt peace.
5. Guiding Children Towards Inner Peace
Children are naturally born with inner peace, but often lose access to it as they absorb external stress and model adult behavior.
Parents can support children by modeling peacefulness, taking them into nature, and teaching simple micro-practices—like placing a hand over the heart to connect with a happy place, humming, or tapping together.

Key Takeaways & Show Notes
1. The Ripple Effect of Inner Peace
Peace Starts Within: True peace isn't created by controlling your environment; it begins with an internal alignment.
The Butterfly Effect: How you present yourself in daily encounters (like interacting with a cashier or server) directly influences the energy of those around you.
2. Practical Micro-Tools for Alignment
The "Corners Up" Practice: Simply raising the corners of your lips—even without a full smile—triggers endorphin release, lowers stress, and shifts your brain out of negativity.
Humming for 10 Seconds: Vibrational humming stimulates the vagus nerve, helping control anxiety, regulate stress, and balance body systems.
Nature Connection: Taking a moment to notice a flower, listen to bird songs, or sit in a small city park grounds your energy and rebalances your mood.
Sound Healing (Tuning Forks): Using specific frequencies (such as 128 Hz for physical healing/joint pain or 111 Hz for inner peace) helps realign the body’s natural vibrational state.
EFT / Tapping: A powerful tool for unsticking repetitive, negative thoughts that disrupt peace.
3. Passing Peace On to Children
Lead by Example: Children naturally possess inner peace, but they lose touch with it when they model adult stress. Being peaceful ourselves is the best teaching tool.
Fun, Teachable Practices: Encourage kids to place a hand over their heart, listen to nature's sounds, or hum when feeling overwhelmed.

July 17 Barefoot enlightenment - awakening to who you've always been - naturally enlightened

In this episode, Sabine sits down with Fiona Whitmore to talk about her book Barefoot Enlightenment — and what it really means to be "naturally enlightened." Fiona shares how we all begin in a state of unconscious enlightenment, the wholeness we're born into as children, before life's struggles and disruptions pull us away from it. But those very struggles, she explains, become the path back — not away from enlightenment, but toward consciously inhabiting it. No one has more or less enlightenment than anyone else; the only difference is how aware we are of the light we already carry. It's a conversation about remembering rather than achieving, and about how the hardest parts of our lives can become the doorway home.
You can find this book on Amazon and Kindle.

June 24Sacred Sound: Were Egypt's Pyramids Healing Chambers?
Key Themes & Topics Covered
Ancient Buildings as Acoustic Phenomena
Ancient structures — especially the Bent Pyramid — appear to have been designed as sound and acoustic environments

Chambers in the Great Pyramid, including the Queen's Chamber, have been filled with rubble over time, effectively silencing what may have been active acoustic spaces

These chambers likely had resonant and vibrational qualities that are no longer accessible in their current state
Luke's Personal Experience in the King's Chamber
The King's Chamber contains a large granite sarcophagus (approximately 7 feet long)

When a frequency of approximately 72 Hz is sounded and someone adds a tone of 270–273 Hz, a third pitch emerges — together creating something akin to white noise

Luke lay inside the sarcophagus during this experiment and experienced dizziness and an altered state

Afterward, he removed his shoes and socks and placed bare hands and feet on the stone while doing meditative breathing — a visual appeared: a doorway receding into the distance, which stopped when he stopped breathing, and transformed into a blue door before disappearing

His interpretation: these chambers may have functioned as portals of consciousness or connection — not necessarily to the stars, but to altered states
The Writing Mystery of the Great Pyramid
Unlike virtually all other Egyptian structures from the 4th Dynasty of Pharaoh Khufu, the rooms inside the Great Pyramid contain no official writings or inscriptions

Hieroglyphs and texts are abundant in tombs throughout Egypt — but not here

Even the workers' tombs (which Luke had rare access to) contain no such writings in this context

This remains one of the great unexplained anomalies of Egyptology
Sound as a Universal Principle
Cymatics: Sumerian artifacts appear to depict what we now recognize as cymatic frequency patterns — the visual geometry created when sound moves through sand or water

Everything may ultimately be frequency — a view shared across many ancient traditions

Royal Rife's theory: all living beings resonate at particular frequencies; health is a matter of maintaining the right frequency, and his device was designed to heal by targeting specific frequencies

Harvard University is currently conducting research into treating cancer with sound
Ancient Sound Hospitals
Hakim Awyen has claimed that Saqqara contained a sound hospital: patients lay on a pedestal in the center of a room while a healer placed their head in a stone alcove, using acoustic resonance to promote healing

Luke visited this site but is careful not to make definitive claims about its function
Sound as a Physical Force — Moving Stone
German explorers in Tibet documented monks moving large stone blocks through coordinated chanting and sound

Modern science can now move small objects with sound

The question Luke raises: could an ancient civilization have mastered acoustic levitation or manipulation of matter at a large scale?
The Possibility of a Lost Advanced Civilization
Evidence suggests humanity has emerged from "stone age" conditions multiple times

Göbekli Tepe was deliberately buried thousands of years ago — by whom and why?

South America contains ancient sites and structures that point to pre-known civilizations

Beneath the Step Pyramid at Saqqara: 40,000 vessels made of corundum (a material so hard only corundum or diamond can cut it), polished to a high finish with tiny holes — attributed to pre-dynastic cultures because they predate known Egyptian dynasties

Imhotep later created similar but far less refined vessels, suggesting knowledge was lost or degraded

In 1500 BC, Assyrian explorers found a civilization they could not identify — we have a long history of not knowing our own history
The Healing Power of Sound — Personal and Universal
A Tibetan monk sustaining a single tone emotionally broke Luke open — one note, enormous effect

The bagpipes at his father's funeral released deep emotion — both harmonic and dissonant, a profoundly powerful instrument

Indian mantras — some of the most ancient known — are available to experience on YouTube and carry similar power

Indigenous peoples of South America and Egypt remain strongly connected to ancient energies at these sites — Luke describes that connection as palpable and very powerful
The Granite Boxes — Not Sarcophagi?
Hakim Awyan believed that the quartz-granite boxes found in pyramid chambers were not sarcophagi at all, but were designed for people to lie in and absorb the healing frequency the chamber resonated. He noted that sound chambers like those in the Red Pyramid are designed exactly like modern acoustic therapy chambers used by sound therapists today.
Luke's Documentary
Luke is currently developing a documentary exploring all of these themes: ancient sound structures, healing frequencies, lost civilizations, and the living connection that indigenous peoples maintain to these ancient energies
Key Names & Concepts to Explore
Royal Rife — frequency-based healing theory

Hakim Awyen — Egyptian researcher claiming Saqqara as a sound hospital

Imhotep — ancient Egyptian architect and physician

June 19We are all sound healers, how to awaken this within us
The Sound Healer You Already Are
"Even if you have no musical ability, we are all sound healers." Jonathan Goldman, pioneer of sound healing.
You are a natural sound healer — and it has been with you since birth.
In this episode of Strive Radio, host Fiona sits down with sound healer and integration coach Sabine Sladek to explore how we can reawaken this ancient, built-in medicine. While children instinctively use raw vocalizations, humming, and chanting to process trauma and pain, modern culture slowly teaches us to silence ourselves as we grow up — convincing us our voices have to sound "professional" or "perfect" to count.
Sabine shares her own journey of using unpolished, unfiltered sound to move through deep grief, and explains why letting out the "weird" or uncomfortable noises is often the exact key to breaking through stuck energy.
In this episode, we explore:
Reclaiming the Instinct — looking back at childhood to see how sound has been healing you all along

The "Ugly" Sound Miracle — why effective sound healing isn't about making pretty music, but letting out the raw, disjointed tones of where it actually hurts

Healing on the Go — simple daily habits like humming in the car, focusing vibration into your hands, or venting into a pillow to release empathic stress and rebalance your system

March 27 Tapping for feeling safe in an unsafe world- EFT
What is EFT / Tapping?
EFT is a form of psychological acupressure rooted in the same ancient energy meridian system used in traditional Chinese acupuncture — a system that has supported healing for over 5,000 years. Rather than using needles, tapping works by gently stimulating specific meridian points on the body with your fingertips while focusing on an emotional or physical issue.
The result? A natural restoration of the body's energetic balance — and often, profound relief.
Key Voices in the Tapping World
Gary Craig — the founder of EFT — developed the technique building on the earlier work of psychologist Dr. Roger Callahan, who created Thought Field Therapy. Gary has been passionate about the connection between our inner world and outer life since the age of thirteen, recognizing early on that the quality of our thoughts shapes the quality of our experience.
Nick Ortner, author and founder of The Tapping Solution, describes EFT as something anyone can learn in minutes — a practical tool for releasing life's stresses and stepping into the life you most want and deserve. Learn more at thetappingsolution.com
Why Tapping Works
At its core, EFT works by supporting the natural flow of energy within the body. When we experience stress, trauma, or emotional upheaval, that energy can become blocked or disrupted. Tapping gently restores the flow — helping the body return to its naturally balanced, healthy state. It has been shown to provide relief across a wide range of physical and emotional challenges, and is generally gentle enough for almost anyone to use.
Try It Yourself
Tapping is simple. It is accessible. And it works. If you've never tried it before, this episode is your invitation to begin.
