SSG Sean Fowler, US Army (Retired), served in the U.S. Army Infantry for almost 12 years. Sean is an advocate for mental health awareness, suicide prevention, and the healing power of horticulture. He is here to talk vulnerably about his healing journey from dealing with his own PTSD to now helping others.

Inevitably succumbing to years of chronic back and leg pain, Sean had major surgery in 2015 to fuse herniated discs at the L4/L5 and L5/S1 portions of his spinal column. After surgery, Sean hit rock bottom, got addicted to the painkillers he was prescribed, and considered taking his own life. Remembering the service and sacrifice of others who fought and died, he took his life back reconstituted as an opportunity for growth and mental freedom.

Sean lives in Washington D.C., and leads Operation Houseplant Healing, an initiative to prevent suicide and help our heroes grow by delivering 30,177 care packages with plants that connect military families with life-saving community and resources.

My next guest is Dr. Joelle Maletis. In this episode, she explains what holistic mental health therapy is and the importance of finding a therapist that is a good fit for you. She also shares the difference between post-traumatic stress and post-traumatic stress disorder and how to know when your body is having a traumatic stress response.

Dr. Joelle is a world-renowned international speaker, psychotherapist, and trauma expert. As a person who has overcome adversities of her own, her goal as a psychotherapist is to teach clients how to do the same in order to live a full life with meaning and balance. By helping others see adversities as an opportunity to better themselves, she helps clients change their mindsets, achieve their goals, and create positive outcomes using post-traumatic growth. Her career highlights include being a guest speaker on ABC's 60 Minutes: Beyond the Headlines, HIRE Vets Medallion Award recipient, and several Outstanding Achievement Awards for Top Female Executive.

Today we are welcoming back a returning guest. If you missed it, go back and listen to Episode 73. It was our most listened to episode, so I am excited to talk with him again. Dr. Bill Rawls is a licensed physician with over 30 years of experience and a leading expert in herbal therapy and cellular wellness. When a health crisis in his early forties abruptly changed his quality of life, he came face to face with the limitations of modern medicine and began to explore the vast range of treatments. Restoring his health through holistic and herbal therapies inspired him to share his discoveries on the importance of cellular wellness.

Today, he works to bring health and vitality to others and helps them establish their own paths to wellness through modern herbology. He is the author of the bestselling book Unlocking Lyme and the #1 New Release, The Cellular Wellness Solution. He is the Medical Director of RawlsMD and Vital Plan, an online holistic health company and Certified B Corporation based in Raleigh, NC.

In this episode, we discuss:

- The similarities between chronic Lyme disease, Long Covid, and other chronic illnesses

- The five things all healthy cells need

- How herbs work to protect cells from stress, free radicals, and toxic substances

Jackie Kono is a holistic psychotherapy practitioner who combines traditional psychotherapy methods with attachment-focused EMDR and energy medicine (Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Reiki, yoga & mindfulness). She helps people process their emotions, connect with the root of why these emotions and triggers are surfacing, and work through them.

As a holistic therapist and through an intuitive and integrative approach, Jackie helps you tap into the wisdom of your own body's communication system while creating a sacred space for understanding why these symptoms might appear. Emotions are a messenger, and once we learn to listen to what they are telling us, a channel opens up, and we are able to heal.

Yoni steaming is an ancient and traditional self-care practice used to help promote women's reproductive health. My next guest is here to explain what it is and some of its benefits.

After taking a career pause as a Physician Assistant, Dominique and her sister founded the holistic wellness company, Teas and Steams. She was looking to find natural methods to incorporate into her self-care routine to promote healing and self-love. Rediscovering her cultural roots, she was introduced to Yoni Steaming in 2019 and began to trace the practice back to her Haitian roots and herbalism through her Native American roots of the Saponi tribe.
