Episode 068: Today, we’re talking about releasing shame. I think we all have something from our past that we’re not totally proud of. Maybe even something from our present.
I have a ton. Part of it is that I have an addictive personality. So there have been so many periods in my life where my behaviors took on an energy of their own and I felt like I lost control.
Todays episode has a lot of sensitive topics so if you have little ones around or you yourself are sensitive to topics like sex work and masturbation, I recommend you pick one of the many other episodes.
But I feel this topic is much needed because there are a lot of common human things that we wrap in judgment and shame and I would like to be one of the people shining love on those topics to help release the collective shame.
Today we talk to Sydney Campos.
She is a fellow wild woman with a wild story, transcending 10 years of drug and alcohol abuse and sex work. Through truth and vulnerability, only a few years later, she was serving her souls mission healing and teaching around the world, signed a major book deal, and was leading retreats for visionary leaders eager to live in alignment with their highest soul self.
We will learn:

The myth of mistakes

How we go into bad decision denial

How our shame (and releasing it) affects our collective consciousness

We will learn:

How different personalities within the same body can exhibit contrasting health symptoms

The science of emotion-controlled consciousness and how your feelings shape your health

How to trigger deep, transformative mental states to enhance healing and emotional freedom


We know that the mind influences our health. The placebo effect shows how our beliefs can actually affect physical outcomes in the body.
So, how much do our minds shape our health? How can we change our thinking to live healthier lives?
That’s what we’re going to learn today. And it’s not just about "thinking yourself better." It’s deeper. It’s about uncovering those hidden, automatic patterns formed from past emotions and memories that influence how our body behaves and reacts today.
What if you could use this understanding to boost everything else you're doing for your health? We’re adding a new piece to the healing puzzle: the emotional part.
Our guest is Brandy Gillmore, a globally recognized mind-body healing expert who has profoundly impacted lives worldwide. Brandy's discoveries originated from her own debilitating injury, which led to a profound breakthrough in understanding of the power of the mind. Today, she works with top celebrities, CEOs, and individuals worldwide, showing people how to use the power of their minds to transform their health and lives.

The Science of Self-Healing by Reprogramming Your Emotions with Brandy Gillmore • 347

We will learn:

How anxious attachment shows up in relationships beyond romance

The fascinating research that reveals the timeline to create a secure attachment and what that means for your closest relationships

Why 70% of us are clinging to invisible wounds and how we can start healing


Ever notice how certain emotional patterns are like weeds in a garden? They keep cropping up, no matter how many times you think you've pulled them out.
What if I told you that you might be accidentally keeping these patterns going without even realizing it? Like you’re stuck in a loop of drama and insecurity.
You see, sometimes we can find a strange kind of comfort in the chaos, even when it's not good for us.
The big thing to pay attention to is something called attachment – it's the way we learn to connect with people when we're young children. About half of us have a hard time feeling secure in our relationships because of it.
Changing these patterns isn't always easy. It means facing some uncomfortable truths and making decisions that are different than the ones that got you here.
Today we're going to explore how we connect, love, and ultimately, how we can take back control of our emotional lives. When we start untangling those roots, that's when we can really start growing. And you might just be surprised at how strong you really are when you begin to change your emotional landscape.
Our guest is Jennifer Nurick, a licensed Clinical Psychotherapist, Couple Therapist, Energetic Healer, and author of “Heal Your Anxious Attachment”. She is the founder and voice of Psychotherapy Central. She has been working in the healing space for over 20 years, combining Eastern energetic practices and Western psychotherapy. She offers transformational courses to help individuals and couples heal trauma and build secure long-term relationships.

Emotional Intuition: Rewiring Anxious Attachment Wounds with Jennifer Nurick • 346

We will learn:

The power of adjusting our reactions by just 1% to create a whole new reality in our relationships.

How our identities shape our habits and the importance of evolving our sense of self to inspire change.

The crucial role of clear boundaries and standards in forging healthy, fulfilling relationships.


Have you ever caught yourself thinking, "Why does this always happen to me? Am I attracting dogs or is this just the state of the market?” At some point, it starts to feel like the right person is an illusion.
If you’ve found yourself in a cycle of the same relationship issues over and over again, it often means that you’re caught in a belief system that is subconsciously shaping your reality.
If you don't confront these patterns, decouple from them, and cultivate new ones, you could be sentencing yourself to a life of rinse and repeat.
So maybe, it’s time to ask the hard questions, and that’s what this episode is about. How to raise your standards, set intentions, and find your person.
Our guest is Matthew Hussey. He is a New York Times bestselling author, speaker, and coach specializing in confidence and relational intelligence. His YouTube channel is number one in the world for love life advice, with over half a billion views. He also writes a weekly newsletter and is the host of the podcast “Love Life With Matthew Hussey.”
Today he will teach us his proven approach to finding love but also how to feel confident and in control of our own happiness regardless of relationship status.

How to Raise Your Standards and Find Your Person with Matthew Hussey • 345

We will learn:

How to distinguish between what's habitual and what's transformative

How adding your unique signature to age-old rituals can transform your life's most important moments

Why the tiniest rituals could make the biggest difference in your love life


Have you ever noticed how some moments feel extra special, while others just blend into the background of your life?
Things like the school bell ringing at the end of the day, blowing out birthday candles, or a even something as simple as a handshake after a deal - These are rituals, little traditions that mark important moments in our lives.
If we ignore the power of rituals, we might lose touch with who we are. They reflect our choices and remind us of who we are and who we want to be. They're like a compass pointing us in the right direction.
However, rituals can also become a burden if we're too rigid about them. The key is to find a balance - create your own unique mix of routines and spontaneous moments that tell your story.
Every little ritual, even the ones we barely notice, shapes who we are.
We're about to explore the power of rituals with expert Mike Norton. We'll learn how these everyday practices can bring us clarity, strength, and connection. Even the most ordinary moments can be magical if we embrace them. So get ready to discover the transformative power of your daily rituals.

Rituals as a Lifeline to Identity, Transitions, and Certainty with Mike Norton • 344

We will learn:

Powerful two-word mantra to help you approach difficult decisions

The liberating question that could realign your life's path with true happiness.

Powerful rituals that can guide you to personal closure, even when others leave the story unresolved.


How often have you mistaken persistence for passion or comfort for contentment?
The problem is, most of us don’t just fear change, but we have a whole narrative around quitting, as though it’s some form of failure. And these lies can keep us stuck in rooms we’ve long outgrown.
So, how do we turn down the noise to turn up our own inner nudges? And how can we move more quickly toward our own new doorways of possibility? That’s what we’re talking about today.
Our guest is Emily Freeman. She is the Wall Street Journal bestselling author of five books, including "How to Walk into a Room" and "The Next Right Thing." She is also a spiritual director, workshop leader, and host of The Next Right Thing podcast, and her most important work is to help create soul space and offer spiritual companionship and discernment for anyone struggling with decision fatigue.
