Healing Mindset

Content note: this episode includes references to childhood abuse, foster care, and substance use.

Is healing a finish line, or a way of living? This episode of The Healing Mindset is for anyone carrying a painful past and wondering how to move forward without pretending it never happened.

Author Adriene Caldwell shares how she rebuilt her life after poverty, foster care, and abuse, why healing is a lifelong journey, and how forgiveness, including forgiving yourself, loosens the past's hold on the present.

About the Guest:

Adriene Caldwell is a Houston-based author and survivor whose debut memoir, Unbroken: Life Outside the Lines, traces her childhood through poverty, foster care, and trauma.

Key Takeaways:

• Healing isn't a destination. It's a lifelong, conscious journey.
• A healing mindset means revisiting painful memories without letting them run your present.
• Pushing emotions down may help you survive in the moment, but it keeps you stuck later.
• Understanding the story of those who hurt you can open the door to forgiveness.
• Forgiveness includes yourself. Making amends, whatever the response, is part of growing.

Can you be successful, capable, and still quietly exhausted? This episode of The Healing Mindset is for high-achieving women who carry everything alone and wonder why love and ease feel out of reach.

Somatic coach Lauren Salaun reframes healing as growth, not a list of flaws. You'll learn to spot recurring patterns, soften hyper-independence, receive support, and move forward with self-compassion, one step at a time.

About the Guest:

Lauren Salaun is a certified somatic coach and women's embodiment and dating coach in Los Angeles. She helps high-achieving women leave hustle mode and heal underlying patterns. She hosts AMPLIFY with Lauren.

Key Takeaways:

• Healing is a growth mindset, not proof that something is wrong with you.
• Hyper-independence often starts in childhood. Letting others support you is strength, not weakness.
• If the same outcome repeats three or more times, it is a pattern worth gently exploring.
• Some wounds close fully. Others, like self-worth, may return in new seasons and become easier to navigate.
• Forgive yourself faster and focus on one area at a time, because shame slows growth.

Ever feel like healing means being perfect before you can move forward? Murray J Lee, a CPA with over 40 years of experience, joins The Healing Mindset to explain why growth is a journey of small steps, not an overnight fix.

Drawing on decades of helping people with their finances, Murray shares how fear of the unknown keeps us stuck, and how visualizing your future self turns overwhelming goals into steps you can take today.

About the Guest:

Murray J Lee is a Certified Public Accountant with over 40 years of experience, including 20 years as a partner at two major international accounting firms. Now retired, he teaches personal finance to reduce financial stress.

Key Takeaways:

• Fear of the unknown, not lack of knowledge, is usually what keeps people stuck.
• Visualize where you want to be in five or ten years, then work backward from there.

What does a healing mindset actually look like when life takes something big from you? On The Healing Mindset, host Ria talks with entrepreneur Bart Merrell, the "Side Hustle Samurai," about losing his lower leg in 2024, and why healing was never about staying positive all the time.

Bart shares how he prepared for the amputation, why he stayed off support groups until after surgery, and how tiny, repeatable wins carried him through it. Expect a grounded, practical take on acknowledging hard moments without staying stuck in them.

About the Guest:

Bart Merrell, known as the Side Hustle Samurai, is an entrepreneur, speaker, and author of Monetize Your Mindset. He grew up on a pig farm in New Mexico and turned his own leg amputation into a new chapter of his work.

Key Takeaways:

• Acknowledge a hard moment fully, then move, don't stay parked in it.
• Watch for the "crabs in the boiling water" pattern, people close to you can pull you back into comfort.
• Break any big goal into ten-day wins, small results build the motivation for the next step.
• Stack small daily choices, they add up faster than waiting for one big decision.

What if the environment around you drains far more energy than you realize? Host Ria talks with RD Ravenwood, a retired CEO turned author, about why identity plus environment equals transformation.

RD shares why healing means treating emotions as data instead of good or bad, a famous study where changing someone's environment measurably improved their biomarkers in a week, and why building one small, deliberately designed space can meaningfully restore your energy.

About the Guest:

RD Ravenwood retired as a CEO at 56 after running out of energy despite outward success. His research into why theme parks feel so restorative led to his book The Magical Life, exploring how environment and identity together shape healing and energy.

Key Takeaways:

• Identity plus environment equals transformation, changing one without the other rarely works.
• Emotions work best as data to read, not labeled simply good or bad.
• In one study, changing someone's environment for a week measurably improved their biomarkers.
• Look at how you got somewhere before trying to fix where you want to be.
• One small, deliberately designed space can meaningfully shift how much energy you have.

What if self-compassion isn't about letting yourself off the hook, but about separating who you are from the mistake you made? Host Ria talks with Grand Prix rider and life coach Silvia Rizzo about the difference between self-compassion and self-protection.

Silvia shares why admitting a mistake outright is more stable than protecting your ego, why a healthy dose of self-criticism can push you forward, and why she relies on her own values and past experiences as an inner structure under pressure.

About the Guest:

Silvia Rizzo is a professional Grand Prix dressage rider and certified life coach. She grew up making high-pressure decisions under public scrutiny in competitive sport, and now helps people make calmer, more grounded decisions in their own lives.

Key Takeaways:

• You made a mistake, but you are not the mistake, that distinction matters.
• Admitting a mistake outright is more stable than protecting your ego with excuses.
• A healthy amount of self-criticism can push you forward instead of holding you back.
• Uncertainty tempts the mind to fill gaps with fear rather than fact.
• Your values and past experiences form an inner structure you can lean on.

What if healing was never something you have to earn? Host Ria talks with florist-turned-life-coach Sarah Duncan about why healing works more like learning than earning, and why becoming whole doesn't require reaching some final, untouchable state.

Sarah shares three patterns that keep people stuck, apathy, feeling unworthy, and perfectionism, and one playful practice, treating small requests and small joys like a game, for rebuilding trust in yourself.

About the Guest:

Sarah Duncan is a florist turned life coach who helps women turn trauma into trust. She noticed patterns of hurt and emotional walls while working with couples planning weddings, which led her into coaching.

Key Takeaways:

• Healing works more like learning than earning, it's not something you have to prove.
• Apathy, feeling unworthy, and perfectionism are three common patterns that keep people stuck.
• Waiting for the perfect plan can delay healing for years, starting matters more.
• Setting a boundary once and holding it can completely change how an experience feels.
• Practicing small, playful requests for yourself can rebuild a sense of self-worth.

What if healing isn't about becoming someone new, but remembering you were never broken? Host Ria talks with Dr. Steve McGough about the biggest misconception people carry about a healing mindset: identifying with their illness instead of separating from it.

Steve shares a simple breathing technique for calming the nervous system, why some emotional pain needs to be worked through physically rather than just thought through, and why forgiving yourself matters as much as forgiving anyone else.

About the Guest:

Dr. Steve McGough is the founder of Human Innovations and inventor of the Hi Massager. After his family faced years of serious medical challenges, he and his wife earned doctorates in clinical sexology and now focus on wellness devices and research.

Key Takeaways:

• Separating your identity from your illness is a key first step toward healing.
• Forgiveness includes forgiving yourself, not only the people who caused you pain.
• Some emotional pain lives in the body and needs movement, not just thought.
• A slow, controlled breath, held briefly, can calm the nervous system in minutes.
• Simply being alive and having people you love still here is worth appreciating daily.

What if healing has less to do with fixing symptoms and more to do with listening to your body? Host Ria talks with holistic health practitioner Andrew Scheim about the subconscious mind and why healing is a practice, not a destination.

Andrew shares how the body holds and reveals subconscious patterns long before the mind catches up, why wrestling with your own mind can actually be a sign of real growth, and why holistic healing has to include the body alongside the spirit.

About the Guest:

Andrew Scheim has worked in holistic medicine for over 25 years, combining trauma-oriented body work, naturopathy, and Chinese medicine. He also works with people managing chronic illness, and spent years as a professional blues and jazz musician.

Key Takeaways:

• The body often reveals subconscious patterns long before the conscious mind catches up.
• A healing mindset is a daily practice, not a single moment of positive thinking.
• Wrestling with your own mind can be uncomfortable, but it's a sign of real growth.
• Emotional expression and physical health are deeply connected, not separate systems.
• Simple grounding practices, like conscious breathing, help calm an overstressed nervous system.
