Episode 252 - Writing for Holistic Wellbeing with Dr. Gabrielle Pelicci

This episode contains adult subject matter and some listeners may be triggered by this content. Listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, we explore how writing can be a powerful tool for healing and self-discovery. Through the lens of storytelling, we look at how putting our thoughts and experiences into words can help us process emotions, find meaning in difficult moments, and reclaim our sense of purpose.

The conversation also uncovers how sharing our stories can create connection and inspire change, not just for ourselves but for others as well. This episode invites us to reflect on the transformative power of writing and how embracing our truths can lead to deeper healing and growth.

DR. GABRIELLE PELICCI

Dr. Gabrielle Pelicci, PhD is a trauma survivor who found her purpose in teaching and storytelling after a long journey of healing. When Gabby lost her mother unexpectedly in her early adulthood, the devastating grief sent her into a deep spiral of depression. After a failed suicide attempt, she became determined to transform her pain and began a decades-long quest for healing.

Her search led her to immerse herself in various traditions—from yoga and meditation to energy medicine and herbalism. Even as she achieved professional success as a professor of Integrative Medicine, something still felt unfinished. It was during a plant medicine journey in New Mexico that Gabby discovered the power to reclaim her voice and purpose.

Dr. Gabby’s memoir, All This Healing is Killing Me, became a #1 Amazon bestseller, inspiring readers to find their own stories. Today, she is a sought-after speaker, storytelling strategist, and creator of transformational writing retreats that empower others to share their stories. Gabby believes that when we courageously tell our truths, we don’t just heal ourselves—we create positive change in the world.

Episode 247 - How to Deepen Your Relationship in Five Minutes with Dr. Heather Browne

This episode contains strong language and listener discretion is advised.

In this episode, we explore how small, intentional changes in how we communicate can make a big difference in our relationships. By spending just five minutes focusing on meaningful interactions, we can build stronger connections and create more understanding and intimacy with the people we care about.

We also dive into the way our perceptions and realities shape how we relate to others. By learning to recognize and navigate these differences, we open the door to deeper conversations and more authentic relationships. This episode invites us to rethink how we communicate and shows how small moments can have a lasting impact.

DR. HEATHER BROWNE

Dr. Heather Browne PsyD, LMFT, best selling author of the award winning Speaking with the Heart  and TedX speaker helps people recognize the power of communication.  It is one of our most important skills that we have, and yet we don’t consider our understanding, approach, belief, and therefore, miss our possibilities.

Living with a paranoid schizophrenic mother gave Dr. Heather a unique and powerful awareness that no one has the same reality, though we believe we do.  Utilizing this revolutionary awareness has allowed her to transform communication within self and within all other types of relationship.  This is the hidden key to acceptance.  And this is her mission to share.

As a relationship expert, Dr. Heather Browne has worked with thousands of individuals and couples in psychotherapy. She is the author of the award winning book, Speaking with the Heart: Transforming Your Relationship with Compassion and Connection.

Dr. Heather is a TedX and keynote speaker, published in hundreds of journals, has an active TikTok channel, has been featured on ABC-7 news, was the relationship expert on KDOC Daybreak OC, and is published in Inc., Toronto Sun, Thriving Family Magazine,  Light + Life, BRAINZ, Scary Mommy, and Psychology Today.  She is a regular guest blogger for both Links for Shrinks and for Marriage Friendly Therapists.
