The Dr. Robyn McKay Show

In today’s episode, Dr. Robyn McKay explores how we can support the healing of our nervous system by actively regulating our energy, tending to our emotions, and reconnecting with the deeper wisdom of the soul.

This episode explores:

•  What it means to have a regulated nervous system

•  How a regulated nervous system feels physically

•  The effects of an unregulated nervous system in leadership, life, and business

•  Leading from the body vs. leading from the mind

•  How to lead from the heart

•  How to stay attuned in a chaotic life

•  Technology that supports body coherence

•  Why intelligent people become unregulated under pressure

•  Understanding neuroticism

Remember, the first step toward returning to a healthy space begins with the simple decision to prioritize regulating your nervous system. It’s a choice that can shift everything.

In this episode, Dr. Robyn McKay talks about why many really good clinicians hide their intuitive gifts and psychic abilities, and why this is the right time to come out of the spiritual closet.

This episode explores:

• How psychic abilities guide you to medicine

• Why intuition is often set aside for evidence-based practices

• Why clinicians aren’t willing to admit their spiritual practice

• The biggest challenge for psychic clinicians

• The journey to understanding their psychic gifts

• The struggle of being siloed

• The cost of keeping it clinical

• The role of clinical discernment and ethics

• Why psychic clinicians serve patients best

• How Dr. Robyn took responsibility for her gifts

This is our reminder that the future of medicine lies in our choice to integrate the clinical with the spiritual.

In this short but powerful episode, I’ll be uncovering why the most rational, high-performing clinicians are now secretly studying intuition behind closed doors.

We’ll explore:

• Why high-achieving clinicians turn to intuition

• How intuition has been devalued

• The role of intuition in fast, aligned decision-making

• What’s missing beyond credentials

• How to access and honor your intuition

• Letting go of control and stepping into mystery

• What happens when you start owning your intuitive power

• Why mystery doesn’t exist in the purely rational

• How embracing your intuition influences others

• Why your intuitive abilities aren’t meant to be transmitted

This is your sign to tap into your intuition, activate your energetic gifts, and learn to move and clear your own energy. Because, beyond being intelligent and accomplished, you are intuitive.

In this eye-opening conversation, Robyn is joined by one of her very first clients, self-taught mixed media artist Laura Madden, to share her journey of transformation from fitness to life coaching, and ultimately answering her calling in the arts.

This episode explores:

• How Laura transitioned from fitness to life coaching

• Finding the alignment between your gifts and your soul

• Why we start with the neo-personality profile

• Harnessing creativity through upcycling

• Bringing beauty into the world

• Finding fulfillment through art

• Laura’s turning point toward visibility

• Why many artists struggle with self-consciousness

• How art is often dismissed as just a hobby

• Women’s fear of invisibility and becoming irrelevant

Making life changes through art reveals a deeper purpose. You’re not weird for following what fulfills your heart — it’s a process of becoming.

Laura Madden is a self-taught mixed media artist based in Phoenix, Arizona. Originally from Boston, Massachusetts, she reimagines reclaimed materials and found objects—items that might otherwise be dismissed as disreputable or disposable—as the foundation of her artistic practice. In 2019, she made the decision to pursue art professionally after recognizing it as her true life’s calling. Madden’s creative path began with a Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology and Physiology from the University of New Hampshire, where she graduated summa cum laude. She spent 15 years working in the fitness industry before transitioning into sustainable fashion— a field that continues to inform her work. Drawing inspiration from her passion for the environment, design, and the intersection of beauty and sustainability, Madden creates layered, textural works that are both elegant and evocative.

In this unflinching and wide-ranging conversation, Robyn welcomes back bestselling coach and author Nicole Cherie Hesse, whose new novel A Shadow Called Sunshine is fiction-ish, soul-coded, and anything but self-help as usual.

This episode explores:

• Why Nicole wrote a novel instead of a business book

• The dangers of turning survivorship into an identity

• How trauma bonding gets masqueraded as empowerment

• The rise of the relatable trauma brand—and why Nicole’s not here for it

• The cultural spell of Twilight, 50 Shades, and “healing” arcs that leave women stuck

• What it means to choose the pattern interrupt

• The So That What movement and how it builds beyond #MeToo

Plus, we reflect on our own experiences with narcissistic abuse, spiritual trauma, and what it means to hold radical responsibility without shame.

If you’ve ever been sold the story that being chosen by a powerful person was the win—this one will set the record (and your nervous system) straight.

The one with the polyamory plot twist

In this inaugural episode of their monthly podcast, Robyn and Alyse are back behind the mic and pulling zero punches. With a name (finally) and a whole lot of opinions, the duo dives into:

• The origin story of this very podcast (spoiler: ChatGPT may or may not be to blame)

• A spicy little detour on the blank slate model still being taught in therapy training (?!), and how that relates to self-disclosure, clean fields, and the ethics of being real

• A collective side-eye toward the Aubrey Marcus “Radical Monogamy” situation and what it reveals about manipulation in spiritual branding

• The difference between intuition vs. influence in the age of algorithmic consensus

• A lowkey philosophical throwdown on trauma-as-performance, the relatability-industrial complex, and why your story doesn’t have to be tragic to be powerful

• AI weirdness, deep-fake Brene Brown, and the art of trusting your own energy over what the algorithm tells you is real

From Barbie-core psychotherapy flashbacks to high-level insights on consent, discernment, and the post-Bewitched era, Robyn and Alyse are here to decode the culture, name the patterns, and say what everyone else is (very politely) not.

New episodes drop monthly.

Welcome back to the House of Sheology, the podcast for spiritually intelligent leaders who are building lives, businesses, and bodies of work that are both profitable and principled.

This week’s episode is part of what I’m calling the After Series—conversations that were recorded before we officially closed the book on the entity formerly known as “Betty,” but that carry essential codes and clarity for this moment in time.

You’re about to hear the audio from one of our most powerful Instagram Lives—a Debriefed conversation with my cohost Alyse Bacine and our guest, Elizabeth Purvis. At the time, we were still inside the unraveling, still metabolizing the lessons. Listening now, from the other side of the spell, the wisdom hits even deeper.

In this episode, we explore what it means to walk the path of eldership, why powerful women so often remain silent in the face of manipulation, and how to find your voice—again. There’s a little tarot (you’ll know which card), a lot of truth, and yes... a brief and very joyful nod to Phoebe Buffay.

If you’ve ever questioned your instincts inside a mentorship…
If you’ve ever wondered why you stayed longer than you wanted to…
If you’re ready to hold yourself—and your students—to higher standards of spiritual maturity and leadership…

This one’s for you.

In this episode, we explore:

• What spiritual eldership really means—and how you know you’re ready

• The role of shame in silencing powerful women

• The nuances of mentorship, projection, and unmet needs

• Why we stayed, how we left, and what we’ve reclaimed since

• How the archetypes of the Empress and that Tarot card shape our stories

• The importance of writing it down—and saying it out loud

• Elizabeth’s return to teaching the Akashic Records

• Alyse’s full-circle moment as a teacher

• And yes… the long-awaited Smelly Cat video makes its official debut. You can watch right here (I apologize in advance) 🎸
