Mind Your Own Karma - Beyond The Bandage

In this powerful episode, award-winning writer, educator, and mental health advocate Ted Neill joins us to explore how raw, honest storytelling can be a profound tool for healing and social change. Ted’s deeply personal memoirs, Two Years of Wonder and Twenty Years of Unraveling, reveal his journey through trauma, addiction, and the quest for wholeness...blending vulnerability with a fierce commitment to inclusion, racial justice, and resilience.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• How embracing and sharing your authentic, sometimes messy story can catalyze healing on both personal and collective levels.

• The power of storytelling to create safe spaces that foster connection, empathy, and true community building

• Balancing personal healing with activism: how to sustain your well-being while advocating for social justice.

• Navigating the delicate balance between vulnerability and self-protection when sharing difficult truths.

• Why healing is layered, cyclical, and non-linear - and how embracing this process empowers transformation.

• The critical role of shared humanity in transforming trauma and social divides into bridges of understanding.

Ted’s insights will inspire anyone looking to reclaim their narrative, break free from shame, and use their story as a source of empowerment and social impact. Whether you’re on your own healing journey or seeking ways to support others through storytelling, this episode offers raw wisdom and practical reflections to guide you.

In this enlightening episode, Melissa is joined by David Mersky, CEO of Sibannac and creator of The Meru Sky and Starwalker Café. With a background in commercial litigation and corporate leadership, David shares how his life took a radical turn toward psychedelics and consciousness expansion.

Together, they explore:

• What psychedelics really are and how they differ from recreational drug use.
• The healing potential of ayahuasca and psilocybin.
• How plant medicines can support trauma healing and emotional wellness.
• The importance of integration after a journey
• How Starwalker Café blends wellness tourism, education, and healing.
• What you need to know if you're considering working with plant medicine.

Whether you're plant-curious or already exploring the psychedelic path, this episode offers grounded insights from a seasoned guide.

More about David:

David Mersky earned his Bachelor of Science in Marketing from the prestigious Stern School of Business at New York University. He earned his J.D. from Brooklyn Law School and has been admitted to the New York bar for over 25 years. David practiced commercial litigation as a trial lawyer in the greater New York City area before relocating to Arizona where he transitioned into the micro-cap public company marketplace.

David has been the CEO of Sibannac since 2017, spear heading the company’s entry into the cannabis and supplement manufacturing space. This experience established the foundation to propel Sibannac into the plant-medicine and consciousness sector, where the company has launched the Starwalker Café, a multi-media platform incorporating education, wellness tourism and plant-medicine products. David has recently launched his social media channel, The Meru Sky, where his content is focused on his own experiences with psychedelics and the lessons he has learned.

In this sacred and soul-stirring episode of Mind Your Own Karma, I’m joined by the beautiful soul behind Children of the Cosmos, Lisa Winter, a self-taught medium who helps women and families connect with their children in spirit.

After her seventh child was lost in the womb, she experienced a spiritual awakening that shifted her grief into purpose. We talk about how she now channels these spirit baby connections, how it helps grieving families heal and evolve, and why validating every stage of grief is so important.

She’s on a mission to be the light for others that she once searched for herself-and to make this work accessible to all through donation-based offerings.

Topics we explore in this episode:

• Spirit babies and the mediumship connection.

• Turning personal grief into spiritual service.

• Why healing should never be a solo journey.

• The power of validation through every stage of grief.

• Her book, her purpose, and what she hopes families take away.

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.

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 a few chickens who’ve probably heard all the secrets.
