Have you been feeling stuck, anxious, and disconnected from yourself? Anxiety is a real challenge that many women grapple with, impacting both their emotional and physical well-being. It can show up as a constant feeling of fear, worry, and restlessness or even manifest physically through symptoms like headaches, muscle tension, or difficulty breathing. This overwhelming sense of unease can make it hard to focus, enjoy the present moment, or feel at peace. But recognizing these feelings is the first step toward healing. By addressing anxiety with mindful practices, positive thinking, and self-compassion, it’s possible to regain control, find balance, and reconnect with your inner strength.

In this episode, we talk about anxiety, panic attacks, how to mitigate anxious feelings and moments of panic, and tactical things that you can start doing to trust yourself and the universe with a returning guest, Katie Wee. Katie is a mindset coach, keynote speaker, actress, survivor, writer, and the founder of Happy Camp. Katie has appeared on TV shows such as Modern Family, Hawaii Five-0, New Girl, and General Hospital, and her writing has been featured on Newsweek and The Huffington Post.

Have you ever woken up from a dream feeling as though a deceased loved one just visited you but brushed it off as just a regular dream? Sometimes, differentiating dream visitations from ordinary dreams can be challenging. However, unlike typical dreams, these encounters leave you with an undeniable sense of peace, love, and closure rather than confusion or unease. Often, many recall conversations or direct messages from their loved ones, along with a clear sense of their presence. The dream may also include subtle signs, such as a familiar scent or symbol, making the connection feel unmistakable.

In this episode, we discuss metaphysical experiences, how to distinguish regular dreams from visitation dreams, who is more prone to having this experience, and how to start asking spirits for signs with a returning guest, Lea Morgan. Lea is a psychic medium who offers mediumship and intuitive guidance readings. After a career in advertising and interior design, Lea couldn’t shake the pull to fully open up to and understand her intuitive gifts.

Her story is one that shows how spirit can guide you throughout your life by providing the opportunities and experiences needed to hone your skills and ultimately be of service to others. Lee hopes to normalize the perception of psychic work by sharing her own journey openly through workshops, interviews, and information on her website.

Relieve Menopause & Perimenopause Symptoms

For so many women, the symptoms of menopause and perimenopause—such as joint pain, fatigue,
sleep disturbances, and hot flashes—can significantly impact their quality of life. Myofascial release,
a gentle hands-on therapy, offers a holistic approach to alleviating these symptoms by targeting the
fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles and organs. By releasing tension and improving
mobility, myofascial release helps relieve pain, enhance relaxation, and restore balance within the
body. This non-invasive therapy supports the body's natural healing processes, providing an effective
way to manage the discomforts associated with menopause and perimenopause.
In this episode, we talk about perimenopause and menopause symptoms and how myofascial
release can be an option to help you navigate and alleviate some of these symptoms with a return
guest, Karen Remele. Karen's journey began as a modern jazz dancer and instructor until a horrific
motorcycle accident changed her life. She is now dedicated to helping others live pain-free existences
and educating them on the benefits of myofascial release. Karen is both a licensed physical therapist
assistant and a licensed massage therapist. Ultimately, she became a student and expert instructor at
John. F Barnes MFR therapy, which she has now practiced for over 25 years

Have you been feeling disconnected from yourself, stuck in old patterns, or weighed down by unresolved emotions? Reset breathwork offers a powerful way to transform your sense of self-worth by helping you release stored emotional energy from your body. Unlike other practices, reset breathwork allows you to process emotions without getting caught up in the stories or memories attached to them. This creates space for healing, deeper self-awareness, and a renewed sense of connection to your inner strength.

Resourcing, though often overlooked, is a vital part of your healing journey in EMDR therapy. It provides you with emotional tools and coping strategies that help you feel grounded and secure as you begin to process and heal trauma. By developing positive internal "resources"—like calming visualizations, empowering memories, or sensations of safety—you can tap into your own inner strength when emotions feel overwhelming. These resources serve as anchors, helping you stay centered and in control. Whether you're in therapy or facing life's daily challenges, resourcing empowers you to reconnect with yourself, regulate your emotions, and take meaningful steps toward healing.

In this episode, we continue our discussion of EMDR with a special focus on resourcing, what it is, and how it can support those undergoing EMDR therapy or who want to regulate their emotions and respond to life challenges with a returning guest, Jen Baumgold. Jen is a licensed clinical social worker and psychotherapist who specializes in trauma treatment. She is certified in EMDR and works with clients to help untangle the knots of trauma while finding a path toward healing and resilience. After graduating with her master's in social work, Jen began her career at the New York Fire Department counseling service unit, where she worked until 2016. During her time there, she provided crucial mental health support to FDYN members and their families.
