Join us for the launch celebration of Handbook for Human Potential, where 11 contributing authors share the inspiration behind their chapters on resilience, psychedelic healing, trauma, Chinese medicine, and more. Discover accessible tools for your personal growth journey.
Welcome to a very special episode celebrating the launch of Handbook for Human Potential: An Accessible Guide to Personal Growth. This conversation brings together eleven of the eighteen contributing authors to share the heart, wisdom, and inspiration behind this collaborative work.
This book has been two years in the making, and it represents a collection of accessible, practical tools for personal growth and healing. Each author is an expert in their field, and together they offer a rich tapestry of perspectives on what it means to live into your human potential.
What Makes This Book Different:
This isn't a book you need to read from cover to cover. It's designed as a handbook, a resource you can return to again and again. You can explore the table of contents and let your intuition guide you to the chapter that holds the medicine you need in this moment. Each chapter concludes with a key takeaway—something practical you can implement today to start creating change in your life.
In This Episode, You'll Hear From:
Seth shares his framework for resilience, reminding us that "resilience isn't just enduring hardship, it's thriving through it." He offers practical tools including the six levels of awareness, the SMILE method, and the GRACE method.
Teresa invites us into the frequency of love, exploring what it means to live with unwavering character and deep connection to yourself and source.
Greg, a nurse anesthetist, breaks down the stigma around ketamine for mental health, sharing how this medicine is available, often covered by insurance, and can be life-changing for those struggling with depression, anxiety, and PTSD.
Patricia, a nurse with 60 years of experience, offers a compassionate perspective on dying well. She reminds us that people don't stop living because they're dying, and shares how we can honor dignity and choice in the final phase of life.
Dr. Erica provides an accessible introduction to Chinese medicine, offering self-care essentials and inviting us to attune ourselves to the seasons and the wisdom of this ancient holistic system.
Dr. Burton, a neurologist, explores psychedelics as therapeutics, challenging the Schedule 1 designation and revealing the science and magic behind these medicines for mental health and neurological conditions.
Brida guides us into soul-led living, exploring how our beliefs create our reality and how changing those beliefs at the deepest level can transform our entire lives.
Dr. Charmin empowers us with naturopathic medicine, showing us that there are always options beyond the conventional approach and helping us understand the difference between normal lab ranges and optimized health.
Jim opens the door to healing trauma, sharing how understanding the way we create our experience can transform even the deepest wounds and reveal the possibility of an amazing life.
Chandra, the book's creator, shares two chapters: one on rewiring our relationship with food and another on welcoming ourselves home to our body's wisdom and rebuilding trust with our internal signals.
Why This Book Matters:
Personal growth can sometimes feel overwhelming or inaccessible. This handbook was created to change that. Each author brings years of expertise and distills it into something digestible, something you can actually use. Whether you're exploring these topics for the first time or deepening your existing practice, there is medicine here for you.
The book is already a bestseller on Amazon, and future editions will include a hardcover, ebook, and audiobook where each author reads their own chapter.
