In this episode I sat down for a lovely chat with my fellow neuro-divergent human Moriah Williams. We talk about a wide range of topics but, as always, mostly we share about our own experiences of healing trauma as a neurodivergent human.

In this episode I sat down with former police officer turned entrepreneur, Nick Motycka. He shared with me openly about his experience with Psilocybin and how it forever changed his healing journey and life!

Nick grew up in Alberta with a father who was a member of the RCMP. This along with his wounded inner child had a major influence on his law enforcement career choice. Nick went on to spend his entire adult life, 23 years, in various enforcement-related positions; security, loss prevention, bylaw services, Canada Customs, Court and Prisoner Services, as a regular member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and finally as a member of the Calgary Police Service. Nick spent time on the street with both agencies, in a Crime Reduction Unit, Drug Unit, Drug Undercover Street Team, Gang Suppression Team and finally a short stint in the Public and Media Relations Unit before his breakthrough, formally known as a breakdown, on September 16th, 2020. 

Nick was diagnosed with PTSD and set off on a journey to finally process the traumas collected during his career in law enforcement. A year and half in, countless psychologist and occupational therapist appointments later, he was able to finally get the help that he needed; one psilocybin assisted therapy session. With clear intentions and a strong willingness to do the work, Nick went from severe PTSD to no longer meeting the criteria for any diagnosis. 

With a new sense of clarity and the amazing support of his family, Nick resigned from the only profession that he had ever known. Nick now spends his time sharing his story of healing and post-traumatic growth while going all in on his dream to bring consciously made, natural fiber clothing to the world through his apparel brand; Flow State Designs!

In this episode, I shared a very honest conversation with health and fitness coach Shannon Buruchian. We talk about life after abuse, how food and exercise help in healing, and our honest feedback about what it's like to walk away.

Shannon Buruchian is a holistic health coach and fitness professional who helps women get in the best shape of their lives with her sustainable, whole-body approach to wellness.

Specializing in fat loss and lifestyle transformations, Shannon helps busy women lose weight and transform their lifestyles by eating more, lifting weights, and building simple habits. As a former cast member in the Beachbody home fitness program, INSANITY Max:30, and as a former athlete, Shannon understands the importance of leading an active life. As she began her career, however, consumed by the daily grind, Shannon struggled with her own weight.

Once she discovered the power of harnessing her metabolism and working with her body, she realized this is something that she needed to do to help other women regain their own confidence and never allow weight to hold them back in life.

Now, as a certified metabolic health expert, fat loss coach, personal trainer, and mental health advocate, she is helping women free themselves from the confines of food and fitness and embrace a healthy lifestyle by guiding them along their journey to happiness

(Audience Discretion is Advised) In this episode, I sat down for an unconventional conversation with Sabine Poncelet about how our first intimate encounters in life shape the future of our emotional and mental wellbeing.

Meet Sabine Poncelet, born and raised in Belgium, and bilingual (English & French). Certified NLP & Life Coach (RSCI), Multidimensional Healer specializing in healing complex PTSD. Holding a postgraduate in Transpersonal Regression Therapy from the TASSO Institute Holland.

Before becoming a full-time entrepreneur, Sabine was a Financial Controller and Tax professional for over 18 years. However, her first love has always been holistic healing techniques. Feeling stuck in a life that she never really wanted, Sabine gave up the security of the 9-6 because she knew she just didn't fit into a conventional box. But most importantly, Sabine believes that no matter what our dreams or obstacles are, we all have the power to change our lives, and, by doing so, we will change the world. I'm here to serve. Her business is built on a foundation of love, a passion for what is possible, and a commitment to being an unstoppable force for good.

His years in the community, where he has been a physician to over 40,000 patients, and his storied and adventurous life traveling around the world has left him uniquely qualified to remind us of what we already know.

In this episode, I sat down with Demetria Goode, founder of The Goode Fight, to chat about how she turned her near-death experience into a powerful catalyst for helping others.

In November of 2021, CEO Demetria Goode,  founded The Goode Fight, LLC after she was brutally beaten and stabbed by her Ex six times in 2013. Burdened by trauma and pain, she believed it would stop in death, and attempted to take her own life. Demetria’s plan was interrupted when her youngest daughter described how much she loved and adored her. From that point, she took on a new, positive, and fresh outlook on life. 

Determined to heal, she began the process of loving herself in the past, present, and future. Obstacle after obstacle, Demetria started to confront, accept, and acknowledge what it was she did have control over in her life. The road to healing would form the foundation and basis of the inception of The Goode Fight.

The mission of The Goode Fight, LLC is to positively impact the lives of victims affected by domestic violence or life trauma. We strive to complete this mission by making connections and sharing life experiences in a group setting, or in individual sessions. The Goode Fight's vision is to help others with support they may not otherwise have within a space free of judgment.  

Demetria is a firm believer that opening up and sharing your story within a welcoming community through the platform of The Goode Fight will help others going through similar experiences.

In this episode, I sat down with intuitive healer, Laura Bonetzky Joseph to talk about the types of mindset and mechanics which get in the way for people when they travel down a path of healing from trauma.

In 2022, Laura published two books. She’s the co-author of “Feisty: Dangerously Amazing Women Using Their Voices to Make an Impact”. Her chapter, “#MeTooFamilyCourts”, highlights what it takes to leave a domestic violence relationship in a broken system that punishes you.

Her first solo book, “The Secrets To Healing: An Invitation To Healing Trauma And Other Root Causes of Chronic Illness Using the Japanese Reiki Gokai” weaves her personal story, her work, the science, and the teachings with nine client case studies.

Laura currently sits on the Massachusetts domestic violence task force addressing legislation and policy for survivors of abuse.

Laura brings an authentic unique view with a unique talent and skill sets uncommon today.
