    Five stars for content but the ads are very very loud in comparison with the podcast volume. I hope this can be fixed

  • Feeling torn

    I think this podcast is so incredibly helpful, I have been listening to it for years. However lately it is less about content and more about promotion: intrusive ads with no warning, constant self promotion of her coaching business, membership levels, books, courses, omega, etc. it’s become unlistenable. It doesn’t feel authentic anymore.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

From the Vault: Long Covid Recovery and Releasing Fear with Jessica
Q: What is your best advice for someone facing fear of long-term symptoms?
Accept that feelings may be intense and that healing is a process; allow pain and emotions to be felt without judgment, use journaling and inner child work, and gradually rest with intention while seeking supportive medical confirmation when needed.
REAL TIME HEAL: Long COVID, Fear, and the Nervous System with Marisa Renee Lee
Q: Let's start with the big picture: what is real-time healing in this context?
Real-time healing involves applying mind-body practices in the moment to reduce fear and autonomic arousal, thereby allowing the nervous system to shift from chronic fight‑or‑flight to a state of safety and repair.
From the Vault: CHRONIC PAIN IS AN EPIDEMIC OF FEAR WITH MONICA
Q: Paint us a picture of where you were pre-July, and how the camping trip became a turning point.
Pre-July, pain and fear dominated daily life, with physical therapy and fear-based beliefs; the camping trip became a turning point as she embraced nature, journaling, and mind-body work to reconnect with herself and her children.
From the Vault: Fibro, Body Image and Pelvic Pain - REAL TIME HEAL with Whitney Rydman
Q: Will having a panic attack or a big episode of anxiety make it harder to recover the physical symptoms?
The guest and host discuss that anxiety can be managed by choosing to engage with situations mindfully; if a panic attack occurs, it's not a failure, and the overarching approach is to proceed with acceptance and not let fear dictate actions.
From the Vault: Pelvic Pain Recovery and Bladder Urgency with Hannah Matluck
Q: Tell me what has changed in terms of your health since you started doing the work?
Her pelvic pain largely resolved, bladder urgency diminished, sleep improved, and a new sense of control over fears and self-talk emerged, leading to a broader commitment to mind-body healing.
