Themes: Epigenetics, the Mind, Subconscious Beliefs, Self Love, Human Potential

Summary:

Sitting down with today’s guest has been a long-time dream of mine, and I feel so honoured to be able to share this conversation with you. Bruce H. Lipton, Ph.D., cell biologist and lecturer, is an internationally recognized leader in bridging science and spirit. In this episode, Bruce talks about perception as the primary mechanism that controls biology, and I can promise you you're in for a fascinating episode!

Bruce was on the faculty of the University of Wisconsin’s School of Medicine and later performed groundbreaking stem cell research at Stanford University. He is the bestselling author of The Biology of Belief, The Honeymoon Effect, and co-author with Steve Bhaerman of Spontaneous Evolution. In 2009, Bruce received the prestigious Goi Peace Award (Japan) in honor of his scientific contribution to world harmony.

Themes: Relationships, Attachment Theory, Polyvagal Theory

Summary:

I know you're going to be pumped about today's guest because her last appearance on the podcast was one of my most listened to episodes ever! Back by popular demand is Sarah Baldwin, a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner and Trauma Coach trained in Polyvagal interventions and on the training team at the Polyvagal Institute.

In Sarah's previous episode, she brilliantly broke down Polyvagal theory (i.e. how the autonomic nervous system works) and briefly touched on the intersection of Polyvagal theory and attachment theory. Today, Sarah's back to dive deeper into how these two theories work together subconsciously to inform the way we relate to and connect with others.

Discover:

How a lack of a secure attachment with our primary childhood caregivers results in the development of insecure attachment styles in order to cope and find safety

How the Autonomic Nervous System works and becomes dysregulated as a brilliant and beautiful way to self protect

The relationship between who you choose as a partner as an adult and how you were related to in your childhood experiences

Steps to regulate your nervous system and create secure attachment within your adult relationships

Themes: Clitoral Anatomy, Cosmetic Genital Procedures, Medical Misinformation

 

Summary:

Despite labiaplasty being one of the fastest-growing medical procedures in the past two decades, detailed clitoral anatomy has been largely missing from medical literature and curricula. Horrifying, right? My guest today is Jessica Pin, who is an advocate for the correction of medical misinformation about vulvas after experiencing a labiaplasty gone wrong at the age of 18.

Jessica has since launched into advocacy and has successfully had eight major medical textbooks update their content, with 15 more considering to future updates. She has also published a cadaveric study with plastic surgeons, convinced OB/GYNs to publish a cadaveric study, and effected changes in OB/GYN and plastic surgery board certification, standardized consent forms, and residency curricula. She holds a degree in Biomedical Engineering from Washington University in St. Louis.

Themes: Codependency, Empathy, People-Pleasing, Self-Abandonment, Over-Functioning

 

Summary:

In all of the years I have been doing this work and the thousands and thousands of messages I receive, codependency is by far one of the biggest issues I see. Over-functioning, over-delivering, people pleasing and ignoring your own needs? I’ve definitely been there! That’s why this week, I’m re-releasing one of my most popular episodes EVER to break down what exactly codependency is and how to break free from this unhealthy behavioural pattern. 

In this episode I’m joined by my dear friend and all around bad-ass Terri Cole who is a New York based licensed psychotherapist, relationship and empowerment expert, best-selling author and co-creator of the Crushing Codependency course. I cannot speak highly enough of Terri's expertise in this space and am so excited to dive deeper into this incredibly important topic. If you have ever wondered whether you are empathic or perhaps have some traits of codependency, you cannot miss this show!

 

Discover:

The signs and symptoms of codependency

Why this behavioural pattern manifests

The consequences of codependency throughout childhood, single life and long term relationships
