The Kerby Method Podcast

This is the long lost episode resurrected!

I had this wonderful conversation with Gina Ryan back in March and had a tech issue with a lost recording. It has been recovered and I am overjoyed to share this episode with all of you.

Gina Ryan​ is the producer and host of the top 50 Mental Health show on Apple Podcast -​The Anxiety Coaches Podcast.

Gina is a Nutritionist and coach who in 1993 opened New Health Natural Products in NY and also struggled with stress, anxiety, and panic for over 20 years. Before the internet, she was able to climb out of her fear and panic to peace, calm, and well-being by finding what did and what didn’t work. She now teaches thousands of others how to do the same in a fraction of the time.

Gina openly shares her own journey with anxiety and how she now lives her life with a sense of calm and purpose. She shares with us some techniques that work for calming anxiety, and we have a lovely conversation about body based techniques.

After moving to Maui in 2005, Gina spent 12 years as a nutritionist/consultant for both the Intensive Outpatient Eating Disorder Center and the only Residential ED Facility in Hawaii sharing her compassion along with her knowledge and wisdom of the mind​-body and spirit connection helping clients clear their food-related anxiety, obsessions, and compulsions.

Gina is currently dedicated full  time to anxiety-clearing coaching, writing, and teaching clients around the world. She considers her work her calling and lives a mindful and compassionate life.

This is a beautiful episode with calming energy all over town, and wonderful advice!

Hold onto your hats, this is a seriously kick ass episode.

I had the great pleasure of sitting down with Caitlin Donovan, one of New York City’s leading burnout experts and acupuncturists, host of “Fried – The Burnout Podcast,” and author of the book "The Bouncebackability Factor: End Burnout, Gain Resilience, and Change the World".

Caitlin is a practical lady with tangible tools and explanations about burnout: what it is, how we can be aware of it, and what to do about it if we find ourselves caught in a burnout loop. She has a contagious enthusiasm and passion for her work and her purpose, and offers expert advice and guidance.

In this episode, Caitlin discusses the importance of recognizing resentments, implementing rest from the get go, and even answers my near comical question, “why is being an entrepreneur so hard?”

Caitlin has her master’s degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and combines Eastern wisdom with her natural practicality. After performing more than 25,000 acupuncture treatments, Caitlin added 1:1 coaching, corporate workshops, and keynotes for companies such as PTC and Lululemon – all with a focus on burnout.

She has been featured on podcasts and online magazines such as “Forbes”, “Elephant Journal,” “Thrive Global,” “Addicted 2 Success”, as well as quoted in Oprah Magazine

If you want to build your own resilience and avoid burnout, have some laughs, and feel empowered with us—dive on in!

Join me in this episode with Brooke, a woman who articulates the role of sex and sexual health in a way not commonly found in the modern literature on sex. Brooke is a  Clinical Nutritionist, Naturopath and Kundalini Yoga Instructor.

In her early days of practice she traveled the world setting up health retreats and consulting to the rich and famous. She has helped models, actors, musicians and even Royalty. She was asked to be a feature writer on women’s health for Elle Magazine and has written columns for small local rags. 

Brooke has twenty years of experience and specialization in helping couples to conceive naturally. Consequently, this led her more recently to also consulting as a professional sex coach for women and couples. While she treats physical and mental sexual health conditions Brooke is also incredibly passionate about creating an environment for women to connect with themselves and discover their sexuality on more than just the physical level. 

She describes sex as being a spiritual and emotional experience that results in a full body orgasm. She believes that every woman has the capacity to enjoy sex in this way. In fact she says it is their birth right.

Brooke is extending a half price offer to all of my  listeners for her online retreat. It is a beginner's retreat called Introduction to Women's Sexual Empowerment. You can find all of the details on her FB page, linked below!

This is a very special episode taken from The Self Love Summit  I hosted in Feb 2020. I thought a focus on actionable steps to increase and prioritize self love was incredibly appropriate for our current time. 

Africa Brooke is an amazing guest and I have personally implemented some of the strategies she discusses in this interview. She is a force to be reckoned with, and a highly successful woman in leadership. 

Africa is a  London based Mindset Coach, Motivational Speaker, Avid Tea-drinker, and Entrepreneur on a mission to help highly-committed women entrepreneurs move away from self-sabotage. She is a sober woman who shares her own journey openly and without pretense, and in doing so has created an ever-growing global community of over 60,000+ people.

If you are wondering how to take real steps towards increasing your self love, this is the episode for you. During this time, we need love, compassion, and the ability to build resilience through these practices more than ever.

Dr. Sara Smith is a doctor of Physical Therapy, Yoga instructor, and Certified Coach. She specializes in helping women activate their Core Confidence.

She has been mentoring, inspiring & educating others on how to quickly improve their life by using the latest neuroscience, mindfulness and pelvic floor research for over 15 years. By weaving in easy to follow processes, Sara enjoys getting over-scheduled, multi-tasking, “get the job done” women to move beyond their current stress and reach far into the possibility of “where can I thrive?

I enjoyed our conversation immensely and Dr Sara graciously explained more about what makes up the pelvic floor and why it is important in both our physical and mental health. She touches on the link between the need for control and pelvic imbalances such as stress and urgency.

We touch on vitally important topics such as: chronic pain and how the simple act of listening and presence can begin to change a person’s life and world, the importance of learning to listen to one’s own body and a simple technique for how to drop into the pelvis, the great need for human connection, and Sara’s practice of delineating a word of the year.

Sara shares her own journey in self-discovery and relinquishing control with her diet in working with a nutritionist this past year.

If you love hearing about the interconnections between mind and body, spirit and flesh, along with a heartfelt approach to facilitating real change, you will love this episode.

Bruce Parry has lived an incredibly adventurous life. He has traveled and led expeditions to some of the most remote regions of the world and lived with indigenous people around the globe.

Bruce is an English documentarian and indigenous rights advocate, having produced the documentary series Tribe, Amazon, and Artic for the BBC, showing Bruce exploring extreme environments and living with remote indigenous peoples and highlighting many of the important issues being faced on the environmental front line.

In my conversation with Bruce, I was curious to hear how his widespread travels and adventures have impacted him personally, and how this dictates his past and current lifestyle and practices. We talk psychedelics, silent Vipassanna meditation, and the awareness found in foraging.

Bruce is an environment advocate, having witnessed firsthand the destruction brought to tribal people by ongoing and disruptive development in remote regions. He is also well practiced in ceremonial psychedelics, from a personal standpoint as well as an observational one.

As my own work focuses on anxiety and trauma resolution, I was curious to hear his thoughts on how stress and trauma show up in tribal cultures, and what the sense of living with a truly egalitarian people feels like.

I was quite excited to speak with Bruce for many reasons, my own great love of the wilderness and adventure first and foremost. I also have a deep sense of responsibility for being a steward on the planet, and love Bruce’s take on how we must all “fall in love with nature” to begin restoring and protecting our natural and wild places.

If you are as fascinated by interesting people as I am, or want to deepen your own connection with nature, with your essential self, and with your fellow humans—give this episode a listen.

In the midst of an incredibly tumultuous time, I wanted to provide a sweet episode with a message of healing and hope. This is not to deny or gloss over the racial injustice and subsequent protesting and looting that is currently occurring in the United States. As a white woman, I am well aware of my privilege, and am learning how to be an ally. If you fall in a similar category, please take a look at some of the links I have posted below. What I can do is discuss trauma and healing, and I am grateful to introduce you to one of the finest people and most brilliant healers I know in this episode. 

Jason Michael Stepina is a Certified Shiva Murti Healer, Certified deep tissue and shiatsu practitioner, an amazing artist and so much more. He also happens to be one of my best friends on the planet.

Jason and I discuss our personal history together and how we met many moons ago at The Heartwood Institute, a live in school for the healing arts up in the northern CA mountains.

Jason shares about his own journey with sobriety and the many pivotal moments he has had since becoming sober that have led him along his healing journey.

We dip into the power behind leaning into uncomfortable feelings, and the space and release that comes with having the capacity to actually feel them.

Jason shares his work with the Balinese healing practice of Shiva Murti, and describes some of the benefits he has received as well as those he sees in his clients.

We talk about the power of remembering we are all magical humans on the planet, and that embracing our magical powers as humans does not mean we are cut off from reality, but on the contrary, it allows us to be more present and engaged and grounded with our lives.

This is a beautiful and fun episode, and I am privileged to introduce all of my listeners to the wonderful work of Mr Jason Michael Stepina.

I am Ginger Burr’s newest fan, and I think you probably will be to when you listen to this episode!

For 33 years, Ginger Burr, President of Total Image Consultants, has helped women around the world create a wardrobe they love by connecting with their inner essence. She is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College and the author of That’s So You! Create a look you love with beauty, style and grace. Ginger has been interviewed by Worth Magazine, Forbes Magazine, FoxNews and Bloomberg Business.

In this episode, she enlightens us to the difference between fashion and style, and offers tangible ways that we can develop and embrace our personal style well into our 40s and beyond.

Ginger works from the inside out and has a process to identify the four inner beauty words that are unique to each individual. She helps me to dig into one of my own words, and I reminisce about some of my favorite clothes as a kid.

Ginger makes having a sense of style and dressing as a representation of our inner self seem do-able and FUN! She has systems that take the guesswork out of getting dressed in the morning, and encourages all of us to not settle for “good enough” when it comes to selecting our clothes because it is such a huge representation of how we feel.

I have truly loved clothes since I was a little kid, and had very specific ideas from an early age on what went with what and how to wear it. Fast forward to my life now and I am climbing over rocks most days, and can’t seem to combine that with wanting to dress as a joyful professional woman. Ginger has helped me see this is not only possible, but knowing a few simple things can help immensely in creating my personal style.

What a great conversation, and I know you will love the passion and delight Ginger brings to her work.

Join me in this beautiful interview with a beautiful guy, Dr Matt Jeffs, DPT PSM CEAS  Principal Faculty at The Back School and National Faculty at Summit Professional Education.

Matt is clearly a skilled clinician, educator, and innovative thinker. He excels at examining the latest scientific research regarding our global relationship with stress, and more importantly, what we can do about it.

In this interview, we discuss the flow state, how it changes the brain, and ways we are able to easily access it within our busy lives.

Matt discusses his own journey with practicing Tai Chi, and how an almost accidental daily practice led to remarkable decreases in stress and anxiety within his daily life.

He shares his realization that yin/yang is a lifestyle and that in our culture of spending long hours in front a computer, sitting meditation may not be the best choice for a daily practice, and how tai chi can become a meditation of movement practice.

We talk about the changing world of physical therapy, the forward placement of telehealth, and how we must transition to a whole body approach to treatment.

if any of these topics grab you, I promise you will love the flow and storytelling in this episode!
