High performers are often praised for their composure — even while their nervous systems are running in survival mode behind the scenes.

In this episode, Mitchell Weisburgh joins Melissa Brunetti to explore how chronic stress and reactivity shape leadership, decision-making, and relationships — and what it takes to retrain the brain for calm, clarity, and collaboration.

Rather than relying on mindset tricks or willpower, this conversation looks at nervous-system patterns, emotional regulation, and practical ways leaders can respond instead of react.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What “emotional survival mode” actually looks like in everyday leadership

• How chronic stress quietly hijacks decision-making and relationships

• Why resilience, creativity, and collaboration are trainable skills

• The difference between mindset hacks and nervous-system retraining

• How survival mode impacts communication at work and at home

• Simple ways leaders can interrupt reactivity without slowing down

• How teams get stuck in collective survival mode — and how to shift it

• Where to start if you’re successful but chronically taxed

Burnout isn’t just about working too much, it’s about living in survival mode for too long. In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, I sit down with clinical hypnotherapist and somatic regulation coach Garrett Wood. Garrett helps high-achieving, high-masking professionals break free from the boom-and-bust cycle of burnout by integrating subconscious reprogramming, sensory intelligence, and body-based tools.

We explore the real science behind hypnotherapy, the myths that keep people skeptical, and how automatic stress responses can be updated in real time. Garrett also shares how his work helps clients align health, wealth, and relationships without burning out in the process.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

• The biggest misconceptions about hypnotherapy, and what it actually is

• How somatic regulation tools can shift automatic responses in the moment

• Why high achievers are especially prone to burnout

• The seven performance domains Garrett evaluates and how they impact burnout, success, and relationships

• How subconscious beliefs and attachment patterns shape health and connection

• Practical ways to align health, wealth, and relationships without sacrificing one for another

In this powerful episode, Melissa sits down with Lora Cheadle —a betrayal recovery coach, intuitive channel, and author — whose life cracked wide open after discovering her husband’s long-term infidelity. What could have destroyed her became the doorway to deep healing, embodiment, and spiritual awakening.

Together, they explore how betrayal, burnout, and breakdowns aren’t the end of the story, but invitations into truth, sovereignty, and wholeness.

You’ll hear:

This is more than a conversation about relationships—it’sa conversation about remembering who you are after everything you thought was solid falls away.

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma – Beyond theBandage, I sit down with Dr. Fawad Mian, a board-certifiedneurologist, regenerative medicine specialist, and founder of Vitality Integrative Wellness, to challenge one of the most common narratives around aging and pain—that chronic pain after 50 is inevitable and must be managed with medications or surgery.

After experiencing multiple injuries himself and being toldthose were his only options, Dr. Mian chose a different path.

Through regenerative therapies like PRP and stem cells, combined with detailed diagnostics and a unique approach to re-movement, he healed his own body—and built a practice centered on helping others do the same.

This conversation is for anyone who feels dismissed, rushed,or stuck in the cycle of symptom management. We talk about why pain becomes chronic, what’s often missed in traditional care, and how the body’s capacity to heal doesn’t simply disappear with age.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why chronic pain is not “just part of getting older”

• How regenerative medicine works at the tissue and nervous system level
  
• What PRP and stem cell therapies actually do inside the body
  
• How Dr. Mian evaluates the root cause of pain, not just where it hurts
  
• What re-movement is and why exercise alone often isn’t enough
  
• How to know if regenerative medicine may be right for you
  
• The questions to ask so you can make informed, confident decisions
  
• Why hope and healing are still possible well beyond 50

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, Melissa sits down with Jose Mendoza, a Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine, who began his career as a cardiovascular specialist before realizing that true healing required more than procedures and prescriptions.

You’ll discover:

• How Chinese Energetic Medicine differs from acupuncture, reiki, and other modalities.

• Why true healing requires addressing body, energy, and spirit together.

• How this work helps release trauma and transform old patterns at the root.

• Whether Chinese Energetic Medicine can be done remotely-or only in person.

• What it means to remove “blockages” to health and authenticity.

• Jose’s journey from hospital procedures to holistic transformation.

What if your life isn’t broken, it’s just built on a story that’s ready to be rewritten?

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, Melissa sits down with bestselling author and narrative coach Carrie KC West to explore how the stories we inherit, absorb, and create can either trap us or set us free.

With her rare blend of MFA-level storytelling mastery, psychology training, and somatic healing techniques, Carrie reveals how we can identify the old scripts we’ve been living by and start writing a new chapter that’s aligned, empowered, and deeply authentic.

You’ll learn

• what “rewriting your story” actually means (and why it’s more than just positive thinking).

• how to recognize if you’re living from an old, inherited, or trauma-based narrative.

• why the body holds onto painful or outdated stories-and how to release them.

• how narrative coaching blends story craft, psychology, and somatic awareness for real change.

• a simple story-mapping tool you can use today to find where you’re stuck and what your next chapter could be.

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, I sit down with life and mindset coach Dalia Kemble, who helps women who identify as the “black sheep” reclaim their power, break free from societal expectations, and build confidence rooted in embodiment rather than performance.

With a master’s in psychology and organizational behavior and development, Dalia blends introspection, emotional healing, and strategy through her signature G.A.M.E. Method to help high-achieving women rewrite their stories and live in alignment with who they truly are.

We explore what it really means to be a black sheep, howsuppressed emotions show up in the body, and why surface-level confidence often leaves women feeling empty or exhausted. Dalia shares tangible tools for calming the inner critic, trusting your internal compass, and choosing courageover conformity. This conversation is for anyone who is done playing by the “shoulds” and ready to build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• What it truly means to be the “black sheep” and why embracing it can be empowering

• How suppressed emotions manifest physically and emotionally

• The difference between surface-level confidence and embodied confidence

• Why high-achieving women often feel unfulfilled

• Signs you’re living someone else’s story

• How to begin rewriting your own life narrative

• A breakdown of Dalia’s G.A.M.E. Method

• How mindset work and emotional healing intersect

• Tools for moving from overthinking to embodiment and self-trust

In this raw and deeply human conversation, Melissa and Dr. Harrison explore the story behind I, Sean/a, a groundbreaking book chronicling the life of an intersex woman navigating schizophrenia, homelessness, mysticism, and profound trauma.

Together they explore:

• Why Western psychology often misinterprets trauma and spiritual awakening
• What it looks like to center lived experience rather than diagnosis
• How “symptoms” can act as signals, messengers, and invitations
• The overlap of identity, spirituality, and the body’s own wisdom
• Why witnessing someone can be more transformative than trying to fix them
• The urgent need to rethink outdated medical and social practices
• The humanity and divinity in Sean/a’s extraordinary story

Dr. Kirsten Viola Harrison is a trauma psychologist, academic, and soul-centered healer with over 25 years of experience working with people whose lives sit at the crossroads of mental health, spirituality, and identity.
