The Healing Blueprint

In this episode, Jill Briansky sits down with Tommy Priester, creator of Heart Mind Integration (HMI), to explore how unresolved experiences can continue to influence our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and health. Together they discuss personality parts, the power of becoming the witness, the role of the vagus nerve, and why healing isn't about fighting what's inside you—it's about learning to meet every part of yourself with compassion.

Tommy shares the philosophy behind Heart Mind Integration, how "dropping in" creates access to deeper healing, and why true transformation comes from shifting your identity beyond trauma.
Whether you're familiar with parts work or simply curious about a different approach to healing, this conversation offers a thoughtful perspective on reconnecting with your authentic self.

What if the greatest healing doesn't come from becoming someone new—but from returning to who you've always been?

In this heartfelt conversation, Jill Briansky sits down with psychologist, author, and teacher Dr. Robyn L. Posin to explore what it truly means to live authentically. Robyn shares the childhood moment that changed her life forever and why learning to trust your own inner knowing is one of the greatest acts of healing.

This conversation is a reminder that healing isn't about fixing yourself. It's about listening deeply enough to remember who you were before the world told you who to be.

What causes someone to hold on to possessions to the point that it takes over their life? Is hoarding simply about clutter, or is there something much deeper beneath the surface?

In this episode of The Healing Blueprint, I sit down with hoarding specialist Eileen Dacey to explore the complex reality of hoarding disorder. We discuss what hoarding is, how it differs from simply collecting or having a cluttered home, and the role that trauma, shame, and emotional attachment can play in the behavior.

Together, we explore why letting go can feel so overwhelming, how loved ones can offer support without judgment, what treatment looks like, and the importance of seeing the person—not just the behavior.
Whether you're struggling yourself, supporting someone you love, or simply want to better understand this often misunderstood condition, this conversation offers insight, compassion, and hope.

In this episode, Jill speaks with Jonathan Carp, a board-certified dermatologist whose work bridges conventional clinical practice with lifestyle medicine, nutrition, and patient-led approaches to healing. He shares his early experience in a family medicine tradition, how personal illness and a transformative patient case shifted his perspective, and how diet, lifestyle, and patient “ownership” of health have become central to his practice. The conversation also explores his use of mental imagery techniques in clinical settings and the broader question of what it means for patients to become their “own authority” in health.
Jonathan continues to practice dermatology while also working in lifestyle medicine and education through his platform Miracle Living / Miracle Noodle.
