Mind Your Own Karma is your space for soulful healing and transformation. What started as a journey of self-discovery and adoption awareness has now evolved into something deeper: a podcast for anyone ready to explore out-of-the-box healing modalities, reconnect with their body and spirit, and rewrite their story.
Join host Melissa Brunetti each week for honest conversations with radical healers, powerful tools for self-awareness, and reminders that no matter what you’ve been through…
You are one listen away from a totally different life.

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.

At the end of my interviews, I ask my guest a particular question. "What would you like struggling adoptees to know?" This year I included the whole triad or constellation so there are more variations on the question, but all the answers are valuable, and I hope every one of my listners finds just the right message here within.

Thank you so much for sticking with my podcast for three whole years. I am already making plans for Season 4! You are so appreciated!

We are nearing the end of 2024! With the coming of the new year, it's routine to think about changes we could make to start fresh from the jump.

Today let's chat about what some small changes (and a mind-blowing concept) can do towards bringing the changes we all want to see in our lives. More healing, more peace, self-love, and feeling like we finally found HOME.

I also update you on last week's personal conundrum... and I know you'll want to hear about it.

Mind Your Own Karma – The Adoption Chronicles Podcast educates listeners on the realities of adoption through the stories of adoptees, birth parents, and adoptive parents. We delve into their journeys, exploring identity, the emotional impacts of adoption, and the complexities that are involved when a child is removed from their biology.



We also tackle tough topics like transracial adoption and adoption ethics, featuring experts and advocates. By sharing these diverse perspectives we hope to not only educate the world, but also give ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠hope and healing⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ to those deeply affected by adoption trauma.

In this episode, I share a personal situation between myself and my birth mother. I don't have all the answers, and I ask you, my listeners, what do you think? Have you ever experienced this, or have you noticed your trauma has caused you to misunderstand others' intentions? Let me know!

If you are interested in finding out more about a light hypnotic therapy that can allow release of buried traumas, I want you to know about something called Somatic Mindful Guided Imagery," or SMGI. It's helped me release some key chunks of my adoption trauma, and so much so that I was inspired to become a practitioner. This is my life's work and my purpose.

I am now helping clients in my local city in a dedicated healing space, but I also am very excited to offer sessions via video, online. Check out my website if this interests you, because everyone should have hope that their pain can be processed, and I'm telling you, and my clients can tell you, it truly can.

Adoptees can have a hard time breaking away from fear to embrace the life they really want. In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: The Adoption Chronicles, Melissa Brunetti dives into the often-overwhelming feeling of being stuck that many adoptees experience.

Fear, shaped by rejection, loss, and uncertainty, can hold adoptees back from embracing the lives they truly desire. Melissa shares how to reframe fear, turn it into a source of strength, and take courageous steps toward living a life of purpose and authenticity.

Adoptees, don't bypass this episode because of a guest foster parent and hopful adopive parent. I think you'll be surprised by a lot that she has to say.

Cristal Baez is a dedicated foster mother whose journey into the world of fostering was driven by a profound desire to adopt and create a loving, healing home for children. She is still in the process of adopting and found the journey complex as she navigates not only the foster system, but her foster children’s needs and struggles as well.

Cristal is also a Spiritual Life Coach and the founder of Love Your Now Comadre, where she empowers others on their journeys of self-discovery and healing, drawing from over a decade of experience in trauma-informed care and crisis intervention.

Cristal's journey through personal and professional experiences has fostered a deep understanding of trauma's complexities. She illuminates the layers of identity, loss, and resilience that shape individuals, advocating for healing, authenticity, and community. Her mission is to help others find strength in vulnerability and embrace their spiritual journey.
