The Awakened & Aligned Podcast with Shannon Kaiser

We need simple solutions to help us through complex times, especially when it comes to our bodies.  Meet Danielle Walker, diagnosed with an extreme form of ulcerative colitis at age 22, Danielle was terrified she’d never be able to eat all the wonderful, great-tasting foods she loved growing up or host warm, welcoming gatherings with family and friends. So when the medicine she was prescribed became almost as debilitating as the disease itself, Danielle took matters into her own hands, turned her kitchen into a laboratory, and set to work creating gut-healthy versions of the foods she thought she’d never be able to enjoy again.

For anyone who has suffered through body frustrations, doctor visits with no avail, autoimmune disorders, chronic muscle pain conditions or health issues that seem impossible to turn around, today’s podcast is for you.

I speak with Danielle Walker, multi New York Times best selling author, food blogger and recipe creator. She shares more of her story and through resilience, we can all find more hope―hope that despite your ailments or hardships, you can live a full, happy, and healthy life without ever feeling excluded or deprived.

When I asked Michael how his first ketamine experience was, he shared, “It was like I had noise canceling headphones on for my brain. For the first time I could see I didn’t have to attach to my thoughts.” He was calm, he felt peace, he basked in self-love. Sounds amazing, right? 

Ketamine is a trusted and wildly used medicine that helps the brain create new, healthier patterns via new neural growth. I’ve been in the program for the past three weeks, and I personally have seen shifts already. I've been able to reframed limiting perspectives, which has led me to heal from past pain, accept reality, forgive myself and others, even release burdens I used to ruminate on, and my self-doubt has shifted into deeper self-love and worth.

I’ve been so impressed with my healing journey on ketamine, and the ethics and integrity of Mindbloom as a company, that I wanted to bring on Michael Petegorsky, the chief strategy officer at Mindbloom to talk breakthroughs in mental health, ketamine treatment, what to expect, and why and how it’s transforming lives and the world.

I used to suffer from chronic overthinking. But this helped. 

Despite all of our differences, at our core, we all want the same thing. To be understood, seen, acknowledged, appreciated, and loved for who we are, as we are, and to give this same appreciation and love to those we care about.  This is why I brought in my favorite human behavior specialist to the Awakened & Aligned Podcast, my friend, Mark Groves, the founder of Create the Love, @createthelove, a social media sensation with over 1 million followers, and the co-author of the new book, Liberated Love: Release Codependent Patterns and Create the Love You Desire, to talk how to be healthier in love and life. Mark Groves and his wife, Kylie Macbeth, wrote this much-needed new book to help us navigate our relationships and create healthier connections in all areas of our lives.  

Whether you are single, ready to mingle, dating, divorced, engaged, married, separated, or obsessing about the one who got away…this transformational conversation will leave you inspired to create the love you deserve from a place of empowerment rather than fear and insecurities. Mark shares clear strategies to help you feel more balanced in life and love. Including signs, you may be in a codependent relationship.
