What if the key to your healing isn’t in your mind… but buried in your body’s untapped pleasure and unspoken desires?

So many of us move through life feeling disconnected—from our bodies, our desires, and sometimes even our sense of self. We search for healing through mindset work, talk therapy, and endless self-help strategies… but what if the real transformation begins when we drop into the body?

In this powerful episode of Mind Your Own Karma, we’re joined by Ayce Kyptyn, a Somatic Sexologist certified in the Erotic Blueprints™ and Bondassage™, with over 15 years of experience guiding people back to their aliveness.

Through his deeply embodied approach, Ayce helps people move through shame, rediscover pleasure, and connect with parts of themselves that have long been silenced or suppressed.

This conversation is a journey into the often-hidden world of somatic pleasure, erotic identity, and what it really means to feel like you again.

Topics Covered:

• What a somatic sexologist actually does.
• The myth about sex that needs to be demystified.
• Moving from purity culture to erotic freedom.
• How body mapping works and why it’s transformative.
• Shame and how to reclaim what you once hid.
• The Erotic Blueprints™: what they are and why you might not know yours yet.
• Sexual energy as healing energy.
• Working with gender, identity, and desire.
• What “aliveness” actually feels like—and why so many of us are missing it.
• How to begin this journey, even if it feels scary.

Hey there, Karma Crew!

In this heartfelt episode of Mind Your Own Karma, I’m joined once again by the radiant Danielle Gaudette-emotional healing coach, author of Healing Tree: An Adoptee’s Story About Hurting, Healing and Letting the Light Shine Through, and long-time Body & Brain trainer with over 24 years of experience.

Danielle brings her deep wisdom and compassionate insight to our conversation as we explore:

• Her personal path to becoming an emotional healing coach.
• The transformative power of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT).
• Her exciting new modality: Transformative Art Healing.
• How emotional pain can serve as a spiritual teacher.
• The role of energy and intuition in healing.
• How we can trust the process, even in the unknown.

Whether you’re familiar with EFT or hearing about it for the first time, Danielle offers clarity, warmth, and real-life examples that make emotional healing feel accessible and empowering. Her new work in Transformative Art Healing offers a creative and soulful way to process and release what no longer serves us.

Danielle reminded us that emotional wounds aren’t problems to fix-they’re doorways to deeper truth, growth and transformation.

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma, I sit down with Dr. Maria Cronyn, a naturopathic doctor and adoptee, to explore the emotional-physical connection in healing.

With over 25 years of experience, Maria shares how suppressed emotions can manifest as chronic illness-and why healing the body requires healing the whole person.

We talk about everything from hormone health and trauma to naturopathic treatments and the importance of addressing identity, grief, and early life imprints. Whether you're an adoptee, a trauma survivor, or just someone who knows their body is holding more than it should, this one is for you.

In this episode, we cover:

• Why Maria says “Hormone health is mental health”.
• How trauma can mimic or cause chronic illness.
• The impact of early childhood trauma on the nervous system.
• The power of homeopathy, botanicals, and natural treatments.
• Her nonprofit’s mission to bring naturopathic healing to trauma survivors.

More about Maria:
Dr. Maria Cronyn is a naturopathic doctor with a specialty in Lyme disease, hormone balance, and trauma-related health issues. She is the founder of a new nonprofit (soon to be renamed) bringing natural care to survivors of adoption, foster care, trafficking, and domestic violence. Her personal story as an adoptee fuels her passion for whole-person healing.

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma, I sit down with author and professor Joan K. Peters, whose memoir Untangling dives deep into the layered, complex process of healing through psychoanalysis. Joan opens up about her own long-term journey in therapy, the power of dreamwork, and thesubconscious patterns that keep so many of us stuck.

We talk about what it really means to “untangle” the inner knots around love, money, and self-worth, and why healing often looks nothing like we expect.

Joan’s honesty, depth, and insight make this a must-listen for anyone who's ready to look beneath the surface.

What we cover in this episode:

• The difference between traditional therapy and psychoanalysis.
• How childhood perception shapes adult pain.
• Joan’s biggest “knots” and how she began to unravel them.
• Why healing is often messy—and why that’s okay.
• The slow unwinding process of real change.
• The power of telling your story.
• What to look for in a healing relationship.
• How logic and emotion can coexist in deep healing work.

More about Joan:
Joan K. Peters is a writer, professor emeritus, and the author of Untangling: A Memoir of Psychoanalysis. With a Ph.D. in comparative literature, Joan taught others how to analyze great stories—until she found herself living one of her own. She now resides in Ojai, California, with her husband, dogs, and afew chickens who’ve probably heard all the secrets.

In today’s episode, we’re exploring what it really means to come home to yourself using Human Design.
I'm joined by Meghan Lambert, a Human Design and Gene Keys guide who helps people stop living life on autopilot and start showing up as their real, unapologetic selves.

In this episode, we cover:

In this powerful episode of Mind Your Own Karma, I welcome back returning guest and fellow adoptee Jean Widner, who is here to launch her groundbreaking new book: The Adoption Paradox. If you're an adoptee, part of the adoption triad, a therapist, or simply someone who wants to better understand the complex realities of adoption—this is a must-listen conversation.

Jean’s book is already being called the most important educational book about adoption since The Primal Wound, and it’s easy to see why. Through nearly 100 deeply honest interviews—with adoptees from all walks of life, birth and adoptive parents, therapists, and allies—The Adoption Paradox reveals the emotional truths, systemic issues, and lifelong impacts that the glossy adoption narrative often leaves out.

🔥 Pre-orders are open now, and if you act fast, you can get a personally signed paperback copy shipped directly from the author ahead of the official release around May 20, 2025. Don’t wait—this book will change lives and ignite conversations.

SEASON 4 of Mind Your Own Karma is highlighting the effects of trauma and stress on the body, and talking about all the ways it can be unraveled. Healing is possible, and I believe that among all this juicy information I have for you this season, you'll find the right healing combination for you.

Neuroplastic Symptoms: How Hidden Trauma Can Cause Chronic Pain and Medically Unexplained Symptoms with Dr. David Clarke

Have you ever experienced chronic pain, fatigue, or other mysterious symptoms—only to be told by doctors that everything looks “normal”? If so, you’re not alone. Many people suffer from physical symptoms that don’t show up on standard medical tests, leaving them frustrated and without answers.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Clarke, a leading expert in the mind-body connection and a key figure at the Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms (ATNS). We dive deep into how unresolved trauma, stress, and suppressed emotions can manifest as real, debilitating physical symptoms. If you’ve ever been told “It’s all in your head,” this conversation will change the way you think about your health.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

✅ Why modern medicine often overlooks the mind-body connection.

✅ How emotional stress can create very real physical symptoms

✅ The science behind neuroplastic symptoms.

✅ What to do if you think you could be suffering with neuroplastic symptoms.
