Years ago, Philip and Pauline decided to buy a decaying castle in the middle of Ireland to ask the land what it needed. The journey it brought them on has been nothing short of inspirational.

Philip McKernan is an internationally renowned speaker, author, coach, life-liver and many other things...and the backbone of his business is his partner, Pauline.

Together they have created the "Brave" community. Which offers a variety of experiences from coaching, to guided adventure experiences and much more.

Dr. Kevin Preston interviews Philip & Pauline about the journey of buying a CASTLE, what clarity REALLY means, being in business with a life partner, replacing shame and embarrassment with courage, and so much more.

In today's podcast, we had an enriching conversation with Phillip McKernan that I was eagerly anticipating. It's a dialogue with layers and moods, at times heavy, but always real and raw.

In this video, we explore the transformative power of slowing down and reconnecting with ourselves.

Drawing inspiration from Navy SEALs' motto "slow is smooth and smooth is fast," we discuss how taking a deliberate pace can help us recalibrate our direction and reduce stress.

By slowing down, we can process and integrate unaddressed emotional material, leading to a more stable and healthy nervous system. Embracing stillness allows us to align with our true rhythm, fostering synchronicities and deep connections in our lives.

Join us in discovering the magic that happens when we take the time to breathe, reflect, and truly listen to our inner selves.

In Western culture, we often overlook the deep mind-body connection emphasized in Eastern traditions. Emotions significantly impact our physical health, and ignoring this leads to misunderstandings and misrepresentations in modern medicine.

Recovery from chronic or acute illnesses requires addressing deeper patterns in the nervous system and mental/emotional complex, not just the symptoms.

Preventative medicine, a staple in Eastern traditions, teaches us to address imbalances early, even when we're healthy. Invest in your well-being before things fall apart—learn to listen to your body and maintain your internal energy reserves to prevent burnout and long-term health issues.

About Our GuestsGrant Cross, TCMP, B.A., KIN DIP, PSYC DIP

Grant has been interested in health and wellness from a young age, as well as had a natural curiosity for the non-beaten path. After varied studies in his formative years—including two diplomas in Psychology and Kinesiology, as well as a Bachelor of Arts— he decided to pursue his calling to help others in their journey of healing. He is a Practitioner of Chinese Medicine and has completed the schooling for the Doctorate in Chinese Medicine from Pacific Rim College in Victoria, BC in 2021. His interests outside of education include: frisbee golf, snowboarding, and hockey—though he grew up playing any sport that was available, so he understands that there are different health needs for different sports. With an interest in sports, Grant has also had experience treating and training young athletes. Giving people the tools to reach their full potential is what Chinese medicine is all about, which is why young athletes can be rewarding to work with, as small changes make a large impact on the direction of their sporting careers.

Grant is open to treating a variety of conditions and folks from all walks of life at different aspects of their journey. Being part of a community is important to his career path. Focusing locally allows for a challenging workload where no two days are the same. Some conditions treated include: digestive, insomnia, high blood pressure, as well as pain related discomfort. He enjoys working with people one-on-one, in order to gain insight into their lives, which will help him give patients the best recommendations for their health. These recommendations vary from diet therapy, exercise therapy, cupping, gua sha, personally curated herbal formulas, and acupuncture. His approach is multifaceted and he uses a variety of diagnostic methods and tools, though all of which are deeply intuitive.
