Embodied Leadership for a Disconnected World with Linden Thorp
🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy!If you’ve ever felt nervous before speaking, disconnected from your body, burned out by work you actually love, or unsure how to trust the signals you’re receiving—you’re not alone. In this fascinating and deeply grounding conversation, Mary Meyer sits down with Linden Thorp to explore embodiment, signal literacy, leadership, voice, anxiety, burnout, laughter, and the powerful wisdom of the body. Linden brings a rich background as a Buddhist, former professional musician, educator, embodiment specialist, and author of Your Body Is Your Business Plan, offering listeners a practical and hopeful way to return to themselves.Together, Mary and Linden talk about how the voice reveals what the body is holding, why laughter can release the diaphragm, how leaders can stay grounded in high-stakes moments, and why purpose-driven work can still lead to burnout if we ignore the body’s signals.

Green Goo: A Family Collab Making Natural Skincare
🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy!If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by ingredient labels, frustrated by products that promise relief but create more problems, or simply wanted a more natural way to care for your body, you’re not alone. In this thoughtful and energizing conversation, Mary Meyer sits down with Jodi Scott of Green Goo to talk about what happens when herbal wisdom, science, entrepreneurship, and family values come together to create something truly useful. This episode proves that skin health is about so much more than beauty—it’s about wellness, prevention, and giving your body the kind of support it can actually use.Mary and Jodi explore how Green Goo began with one startling realization: the “normal” first aid and skincare products many of us trust are often loaded with ingredients that create friction in the body instead of helping it heal. From first aid and eczema relief to anti-aging, deodorant, and baby care, this conversation is packed with practical insight and hopeful reminders that simple, intentional swaps can make a real difference. If you’ve ever felt like you wanted to do better for your body but didn’t know where to begin, this episode offers both clarity and encouragement.🌟 Topics Covered:Company focus: Plant-based first aid, skincare, wellness, and family care productsBusiness identity: Women-owned, family-run companySpecialty areas discussed: First aid, anti-aging, deodorant, baby care, eczema, acne, dry skin, hormone supportGreen Goo started as a family business with sister, motherWhy plant-based first aid fills an important gapThe difference between true natural products and greenwashed marketingHow skin connects to whole-body wellnessWhy common skincare ingredients may create stress in the bodyHow herbal ingredients work together for healingNatural support for eczema, dry skin, acne, and baby careThe business journey from farmers market to retail and e-commerceHow consumers can vote with their purchasesWhy fewer ingredients can be a smart signKey takeaways:Your skin is not just a barrier—it’s an active part of your wellnessSmall product swaps can reduce stress on your body over timePlant-based skincare can be both effective and deeply supportiveYou do not have to sacrifice quality to choose more natural optionsReading labels is empowering, even when it feels inconvenientA strong mission can guide a business through growth without compromiseSimple routines often work better than complicated cabinets full of productsWhen you remove friction, your body can function more optimallyKey Herbal Ingredients in Skin Care ProductsCalendula as a core healing ingredientArnica for inflammation supportYarrow and plantain for wound supportRose hips for antioxidant-rich skin careChamomile and St. John’s wort for calming supportSynergy between herbs matters as much as the individual plantsIngredients to Avoid in Skin CareAlcohol and drying agentsOxybenzonesPhthalatesParabensForever chemicalsPetroleum-based ingredientsOverly complex labels can be a red flagSkin Care Product Categories and UsesFirst aidAnti-agingDeodorantBaby careDry skin supportAcne careEczema and psoriasis supportFoot careHormone balancing productsSome questions I ask:How did Green Goo get started with you, your sister, and your mom?Why do so many people still believe chemicals are the superior solution?What happens when you mix healing herbs with synthetic ingredients?How do you think about the connection between skin and whole-body health?What herbs show up again and again in your products, and why?What should people watch out for when they read ingredient labels?How did you grow from a farmers market business into a larger brand?What makes your process different from other so-called natural brands?How do your products support things like eczema, dry skin, and baby care?What can consumers do to shift this conversation with their purchases?Learn more about Jodi Scott, Founder of Green Goo:Website: https://www.greengoo.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodi-scott-7234331b8/Instagram (Jodi): https://www.instagram.com/jodi_a_scott/Instagram (Green Goo): https://www.instagram.com/greengoohelps/Facebook (Green Goo): https://www.facebook.com/GreenGooHelps/Founders page: https://www.greengoo.com/pages/about-our-foundersAbout/brand story: https://www.greengoo.com/pages/about-usRelated websites: | www.southernbutter.com | www.ovamoon.com | www.fambotanicals.comResource List:• Apps or tools mentionedYuka app for scanning product ingredients: https://yuka.io/en/• Organizations mentionedJohn Hopkins was mentioned in relation to product use and skin condition supportPodcast Sponsor: https://www.mindiii.com/Founded in 2015, MINDIII is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.

Does Epstein’s Interest in Science & Math Equate to Mad Science Experiments?
🎙️ We are diving straight into the middle of Jeffrey Epstein's interview with Steve Bannon, and asking additional questions based on information we now know.I wonder what Epstein's extreme interest in complexity science really means. It reminds me more of the thousands of pesticides and toxins "they've" put in our environment than anything else. Yet another thing worth looking into in my opinion - why did Epstein invest heavily in research on chaos theory.Epstein and Bannon talk extensively about scientists they knew or studied and why they find them fascinating. Keep in mind when listening to this that Bannon was doing these interviews in an attempt to fix Epstein's image before Epstein was imprisoned again.I looked up all the scientists and quarks and complexity theory and tried to give some background as they talked.I would once again point out that this is what a lot of abusers look like. Highly intelligent, thoughtful even. Well spoken, they have something to teach you. I had to start drinking wine to cope with the fact that I was hearing their voices. Epstein's extreme fascination with mathematics and science, and his stated reason that he bought Zorro Ranch because of proximity to Santa Fe and the defunded atomic bomb scientists is quite possibly the most disconcerting part of all of this.🌟 Topics Covered:– Epstein's explanation of omplexity theory – The scientific effort to model chaotic systems such as financial markets– Epstein's reasons for buying Zorro Ranch– Epstein's frustration with mathematics not being able to explain things like the dark matter of the brain– Epstein and Bannon's long conversation about key scientific figures, both current and historical– The intersection of physics, biology, and complex systems thinking– Epstein and Bannon discuss the philosophical question of what science can and cannot explain and how this philosophical question used to be a mathematical question– The implications of them being mad scientist smart👍 Key takeaway:– Epstein's interest and knowledge of science and math is deeply disturbing, especially how he references that he bought Zorro Ranch for proximity to atomic bomb scientists.Resource List: Steve Bannon Interview with Jeffrey Epstein, which can be found on @YouTubeBooks mentioned:– Origins of Order by Stuart KauffmanOrganizations mentioned by Epstein as the reason he bought Zorro Ranch:– Santa Fe Institute– Los Alamos National LaboratorySponsor information:We are excited to have IT company https://www.mindiii.com as a podcast sponsor.

Epstein’s Own Words on David Rockefeller, The Trilateral Commission & Fractionalized Banking
🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy!In this episode, we step into something complex, layered, and admittedly uncomfortable. Today, we are looking at the Steve Bannon interview with Jeffrey Epstein and also reading excerpts of a document called Bloodlines of the Illuminati. I chose this simply because I found it on the CIA.gov website. I had a lot of anxiety making this podcast, but had more stress at the thought of saying nothing. The partial Epstein file release happened in between Season 1 and Season 2 of this podcast. The purpose of Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy in many ways is to figure out what we're "doing wrong" so to speak, so we can course correct and live better lives: lives that are healthier, happier, wiser & wealthier. If we don't take some time look at something this massive, we might as well not be here. That's my opinion. This episode sticks with topics that do not cover crimes committed. Mostly as a way to keep our emotions regulated as we start to think through this.🌟 Topics Covered:Epstein's own words on:The Santa Fe Institute, David Rockefeller and the Rockefeller FoundationThe Trilateral Commission and how he was a part of itHow the Trilateral Commission was founded by David Rockefeller to involve business people in the political process of countries across Asia, Europe and North America - all in Epstein's own wordsEpstein explains fractional reserve banking and how the public and politicians doesn't understand thisHow banks create assets through debt, not dollarsHow political leaders don't understand financesHistory of families of the "illuminati"Key takeaways:The Trilateral Commission is involved in shaping politics across North America, Asia and EuropeFractional reserve banking means banks can loan up to 9x the money the actually haveThe Rothschild, Rockefellers and Trilateral Commission are all also mentioned in the Bloodlines of the Illuminati document Epstein is well spoken, talks about reputation, tells nice stories. As he puts it, "I'm just a good kid". The main takeaway here is to really feel how a well spoken, calm, intelligent people can still be a vicious predator.Left vs right narratives may oversimplify deeper systems that have hijacked our country.Staying healthy doesn't mean avoiding uncomfortable topics. Some questions I ask:What is the actual reach and function of the Trilateral Commission?Is the Trilateral Commission really "Some spooky thing, the Illuminati" as Epstein said?Is it true that elected world leaders don't understand finance and that this could be a way of controlling outcomes of elections or controlling elected officials?What could be the significance to Epstein of the Santa Fe Institute since he donated extensively to them and also Zorro ranch is only an hour drive away?Could the Bloodlines of the Illuminati document hold actual historical evidence that is relevant today? Resource List:• Steve Bannon interview with Jeffrey Epstein, available on various site on Youtube• Santa Fe Institute www.santafe.edu • Rockefeller Foundation https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/• Trilateral Commission https://www.trilateral.org/• Fractional Reserve Banking explanations (Federal Reserve resources)• CIA.gov public library archives Bloodlines of the Illuminati, 1995 https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/FC/FC2F5371043C48FDD95AEDE7B8A49624_Springmeier.-.Bloodlines.of.the.Illuminati.R.pdfSeason 2 sponsor.

Inside Equitable Mediation: Helping Couples Divorce Amicably and Affordably
🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this thoughtful and eye-opening episode, host Mary Meyer sits down with divorce mediator Joe Dillon of Equitable Mediation to unpack the differences between mediation and litigation, the financial and emotional burdens of traditional lawyer-led divorce, and how holistic mediation can change the lives of families. Drawing on decades of mediation experience, Joe Dillon shares both personal stories and professional insights, offering listeners practical frameworks and hope for navigating divorce with dignity.🌟 Topics Covered:Joe Dillon’s background and Equitable Mediation’s resource-rich websiteThe myth that mediators have to be lawyersThe real cost of divorce: mediation vs. litigationEmotional pitfalls of divorce and why lawyers aren’t therapistsHow mediation fosters creative solutions for family, finances, and housingUsing scenario planning and “zone of agreement” for lasting outcomesThe rise of cohabitation and nesting arrangements post-divorceProprietary courses and resources for preparing for divorce, finance, and negotiationKey takeaways:Mediation can save you tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of dollars, prevent emotional trauma, and give families more control over outcomes than litigation.The majority of divorce disputes are financial, making Joe Dillon’s finance background a key advantage in settlement and scenario planning.Creative agreements—like cohabitation, nesting, and flexible buyout plans—are possible and often essential, especially in high-cost housing markets.Emotional support and coaching are integral; divorce isn’t just paperwork, it’s an emotional journey that is better navigated with a holistic mediation team.Planning for future “what-ifs” in your divorce agreement saves massive strife down the road—use frameworks and scenario planning to decrease future conflict.Some questions I ask:“I thought you had to be a lawyer to be a mediator. Why is your finance background so valuable in these cases?”“Why does using lawyers often make emotional conflicts—and the bill—worse?”“What are some of the most creative solutions you’ve put together when couples couldn’t do a traditional buyout or sale of their house?”“How do you plan for the unknowns, the ‘what-ifs’ five years down the road, so couples don’t have to keep coming back to court?”“How does your process handle tough emotional stalemates, and when does mediation ever fail?”“Can people outside your six main states work with you or use your resources?”“Tell me about your courses—who are they for and what will they learn?”Learn more about our guest:Website: equitablemediation.comSchedule a free consult (for residents in six states): Via website appointment buttonsCheck out Joe & Cheryl Dillon’s mediation courses: https://www.equitablemediation.com/divorce-courses (Financial Preparation, Negotiation, Emotional Preparation)Read Joe’s blog, including the popular post on cohabitation after divorce: https://www.equitablemediation.com/blog@EquitableMediation on Instagram, Facebook and YouTubeResources list:Equitable Mediation: equitablemediation.comCourses: Divorce Financial Preparation, Divorce Negotiation, and more (link to courses)Blog post: “Can Living Together After Divorce Work?” Read HereMediation/Affordable mediation directories: Search for your state’s mediation association (e.g., New York Council on Divorce Mediators)Divorce mediation info for non-served states: Local court websites, mediation directories, or referrals by contactingJoe Dillon for recommendationsPodcast Sponsor:We are so excited to have IT company https://www.mindiii.com as a Season 2 sponsor.

Navigating a Traumatic Christmas: Support for Parental Alienation
🎙️ Welcome to a powerful holiday episode of Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! Host Mary Meyer is joined by parental alienation coach Charlie McCready live from England to discuss one of the most misunderstood and devastating traumas families can endure. In this heartfelt, informative conversation, Mary Meyer and Charlie McCready shine a spotlight on the hidden struggles of parents and children affected by parental alienation, especially during emotionally charged times like Christmas. Drawing from personal experience and years of coaching, Charlie McCready breaks down the phases and signs of alienation, offers strategies for healing, and provides hope for those facing what feels impossible.🌟 Topics Covered: -What is parental alienation and how does it differ from estrangement? -Pre-alienation: warning signs and subtle behaviors -The emotional impact on parents (grief, isolation, shame, powerlessness, injustice, anxiety, fear, anger, guilt) -Understanding the alienator and children’s coping mechanisms -The psychological dynamics of narcissism and trauma -How to support children and yourself during periods of alienation -Navigating holidays and special occasions while alienated -Why community support is crucial and what "help" actually looks like -Resources and therapeutic methods for recovery -Practical advice for friends, family, and professionals witnessing alienationKey takeaways: -Parental alienation is real, traumatizing, and still widely misunderstood—even by legal and mental health professionals. It’s not just “bad blood after divorce” but a systematic undermining of a parent-child bond. -Acceptance and hope are essential tools for healing: accept your present reality without giving up hope for reconnection. -The emotional toll is profound and cyclical; parents need to prioritize their own healing as much as their desire to “fix” the relationship with their child. -Recognize common traps: over-communication, responding to smear campaigns, and letting anxious thoughts dominate. -The alienator’s behaviors often stem from their own untreated trauma and disorders. Understanding their patterns can help reduce escalation. -Empathetic support from friends and professionals is lifesaving. Your presence and validation matter more than advice. -Reconciliation is often possible, but requires patience, boundaries, and unconditional compassion.Some questions I ask: -“What led you to become a parental alienation coach?”-“Can you describe the phases and signs of pre-alienation?”-“How can parents begin to heal emotionally, even in the worst moments?”-“What are those key triggers that escalate alienator behaviors?”-“How do you help parents differentiate between estrangement and alienation?”-“What practical steps do you recommend during holidays, when pain is most acute?”-“What can family, friends, and community members do to offer meaningful support?”-“Are there resources or therapies that make a real difference for those affected?”Learn more about our guest: -Follow Charlie McCready on social media @CharlieMcCready1 -Website: CharlieMcCready.com-Contact for coaching: CharlieMcCready.com/coaching/Resources list: -Books on narcissism and trauma (specific titles not mentioned, but recommended by Charlie McCready) -Search for information on EMDR therapy and attachment theory for trauma recovery -Parental alienation support communities online-Look up “parental alienation coaching” and “attachment theory therapy” for more guidance-For statistics and deeper research, explore international parental alienation advocacy groups and relevant legal resources (no specific organizations listed in transcript)We are excited to have IT company https://www.mindiii.com as a podcast sponsor.

Navigating Aging with Compassion: Home Health, Independence, and Family Conversations for the Holidays
🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this insightful episode, host Mary Meyer sits down with Dr. Sandra Weitz and her daughter Carrie Ingerman of Comprehensive Home Health Solutions in Reno, Nevada. As a dynamic mother-daughter team (with a “silent partner” husband behind the scenes!), they share both personal and professional wisdom from decades in medicine, patient advocacy, and home health. The conversation covers how to notice early warning signs as loved ones age, practical strategies for supporting independent living, debunking myths about elder care, and what it really takes to maintain quality of life during the aging process. The episode is packed with actionable advice, anecdotal experience, and heartfelt compassion for anyone navigating the challenges of aging, caregiving, or planning for their future.🌟 Topics Covered:Home care vs. home health: understanding the differenceRecognizing early cognitive changes in loved onesNavigating the holidays with aging family members: warning signs to look forPractical tips for home safety and fall prevention in winterPatient advocacy: coordinating between multiple doctors and understanding insuranceOvercoming resistance to accepting help as an elder or caregiverPlanning ahead: living wills, durable power of attorney, and the importance of POLST formsMedicare, Medicare Advantage, and making the best healthcare coverage choicesThe emotional side of caregiving and family conversations about agingSupporting parental independence with the right resourcesKey Takeaways:Home care (non-medical assistance) and home health (medical services) are distinct, and both play crucial roles in keeping people healthy at home.Sudden changes in cognition, confusion, or forgetfulness—especially during holidays—can signal underlying health issues requiring medical attention.Accepting help doesn’t rob you of independence; it preserves and extends it by creating support systems.Proactive planning and honest family conversations are essential—before a crisis hits—to ensure wishes are known and needs are met.Essential medical forms like a living will, durable power of attorney, and a POLST form help ensure your preferences are respected in an emergency.Beware of the hidden drawbacks of Medicare Advantage plans, especially limited networks and the need for referrals/prior authorizations.Environmental modifications, such as removing throw rugs and keeping current lists of medications, are simple safety measures anyone can implement.Cherish family storytelling and stay socially connected to improve mental and emotional well-being throughout the aging process.Some questions I ask:What are the differences between home care and home health, and why does it matter for families?When visiting relatives over the holidays, what should you look and listen for to spot changes in health or cognition?What are the best ways to initiate those difficult conversations about aging, support, and medical planning with parents or adult children?If someone is resistant to accepting help or support, what advice or perspective can turn that mindset around?For those planning ahead, what practical steps or documents should every family consider and why?What are the pros and cons of Medicare Advantage versus traditional Medicare, and how can families make the right choice?How can siblings and distant relatives effectively share responsibility for aging parents?Learn more about our guests -Comprehensive Home Health Solutions: comprehensivehomehealthsolutions.com-Phone: 775-624-8939 -Facebook: Search "Comprehensive Home Health Solutions" -LinkedIn: Search "Comprehensive Home Health Solutions" -Email and contact forms are available via their websiteResources List -Comprehensive Home Health Solutions: https://www.comprehensivehomehealthsolutions.com-POLST (Provider Order for Life Sustaining Treatment): Learn more about POLST-Information on Living Wills and Advance Directives: NIA.gov Advance Care Planning-Consumer resource on Medicare, Medigap, and Medicare Advantage (Medicare.gov) -General fall prevention tips for seniors: CDC Fall PreventionWe are excited to have IT company https://www.mindiii.com as a podcast sponsor.

Exploring Nature Inspired Therapies: From Red Light to Lymphatic Massage to Brain Tap
🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this eye-opening episode, host Mary Meyer goes on location to Nature Inspired Therapies with its innovative owner, Jennifer Baker.

🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this transformative episode, host Mary Meyer goes inside Healing Hands Physical Therapy and Body Work with owner Jamie Pribyl and Dawn Cushing. Discover why their innovative therapy clinic rejects the traditional, insurance-driven physical therapy model—creating a space where deep listening, holistic healing, and direct practitioner-patient connection take the lead. From craniosacral therapy to cutting-edge treatments like Stem Wave, you’ll get an inside look at how this team helps clients heal, grow, and thrive beyond the limits of conventional medicine.🌟 Topics Covered: -How Healing Hands differs from standard physical therapy clinics -The limitations of insurance-based care -The value of individualized, hands-on treatment -What is craniosacral therapy, and how does it work? -Why "listening to the body" changes the healing process -The science and sensation of Stem Wave therapy -Integrating yoga, nervous system regulation, and holistic practices -Pelvic floor therapy, visceral mobilization, and more-The role of maintenance physical therapy (not just injury care) -The connection between yoga and physical therapy healingKey takeaways: -Holistic physical therapy creates deeper, more lasting healing by focusing on the whole body—not just the symptoms. -Insurance-based clinics often force a "rat race", limiting hands-on care and treating symptoms rather than root causes. -Listening to the body—through hands-on intuition, craniosacral therapy, and individualized attention—can reveal surprising sources of pain and unblock stuck energy. -Modern modalities like Stem Wave use sound waves to stimulate cellular healing and can support natural recovery without surgery or drugs. -Maintenance physical therapy can prevent joint replacements, injuries, and improve overall wellbeing—think of it like a "tune-up" for the body. -Yoga principles and nervous system regulation deeply align with holistic physical therapy, offering powerful synergy for healing trauma and chronic pain.Some questions I ask: -How is your business model different from traditional physical therapy clinics, and why did you structure it this way? -What are the biggest limitations created by insurance in conventional PT settings? -Can physical therapy help even if you’re not injured?

Whether you’re curious about men’s wellness, hormone health, or the realities of entrepreneurship, this episode is full of actionable insights and plenty of laughs.🌟 Topics Covered:Michael’s entrepreneurial roots and business ventures in health & wellnessFranchising vs independent business ownershipTransitioning from fitness clubs to medical clinicsGame Day Men’s Health’s unique “man cave” approachTestosterone Replacement Therapy (TRT): myths, facts, & access without insurancePeptide therapies: what they are and how they support healthErectile dysfunction: permanent solutions & breaking the stigmaHair restoration options for menConcierge medicine & the client experienceBuilding community through active men’s groups (cycling, hiking, and more)Key takeaways:Early money lessons can inspire a lifelong spirit of entrepreneurship.Franchises offer “plug and play” efficiency, saving time and reducing risk for new business owners.Many men delay seeking care for hormonal or sexual health issues due to shame or lack of awareness—comfortable, private clinics can make all the difference.TRT and peptide therapies can help with energy, mood, muscle maintenance, and longevity—treatment is always individualized.Insurance often denies coverage for men’s hormone health; out-of-pocket concierge clinics offer privacy, speed, and flexibility.Addressing men’s health openly reduces stigma and creates better outcomes.Community and connection, like group cycling or hiking, can support both physical and mental health.Some questions I ask:How did your early entrepreneurial experiences shape your career?Why did you choose franchising as a business model in health and wellness?What makes Game Day Men’s Health feel different from a traditional clinic?How does testosterone replacement therapy benefit men as they age?What exactly are peptides, and how can they help with various health goals?Why don’t you accept insurance at your clinic, and what advantages does that offer?What can be done to reduce the stigma men feel around sexual health and E.D.?How are you building community among clients beyond the clinic?Learn more about our guest:Michael Hataway, Owner of Game Day Men’s Health South RenoWebsite: https://gamedaymenshealth.com/south-renoVisit Gameday Men's Health South Reno 609 Sierra Rose Dr. Ste 3, Reno, NV 89511Resources list:Game Day Men’s Health: https:/.gamedaymenshealth.com/south-renoPlatelet Rich Plasma (PRP) for hair restorationMissing Link Network website https://missinglinknetwork.comWe are excited to have IT company https://www.mindiii.com as a podcast sponsor.

The Power of Detox: Vitality, Functional Healing, and Emotional Health
🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this energizing episode, host Mary Meyer dives deep into the world of detox and vitality with returning guest and spiritual mentor Kara Stoltenberg and special guest Brittany Heyden, a functional medicine nurse practitioner and coach. With decades of friendship and rich backgrounds in functional healing, these two dynamic women share their personal health journeys, explore the powerful intersection between physical and emotional health, and unpack practical strategies for supporting your body’s natural detoxification pathways. If you’ve ever wondered what "detox" really means or felt overwhelmed by wellness trends, this episode is a must-listen!🌱 Topics Covered: -What is “detox”? Myths vs. science -Physical and emotional roots of chronic illness -The Brittany & Kara Collaboration: Integrating emotional and physical healing -The role of the nervous system and stress in health -Signs your detox pathways are blocked -How to safely and effectively support lymphatic drainage, liver health, and more -Practical, affordable at-home detox methods (like rebounding, vibration plates, castor oil packs) -Why understanding your labs and health history is critical -Unique female health challenges (hormonal imbalance, perimenopause, functional freeze) -Day-to-day tools for nervous system regulation and real restKey takeaways: -Detox Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All: Root cause medicine asks “why” before recommending a cleanse or protocol. Jumping into detox without understanding your body can lead to setbacks. -Your Emotions and Physical Health are Deeply Linked: Long-term stress, unprocessed emotions, and chronic fight-or-flight can physically manifest as illness or blocked detox pathways. -Support Your Pathways First: The basics matter—daily bowel movements, sweating, adequate hydration, and gentle lymphatic movement are foundational to successful detox. -Simple Tools = Big Impact: Rebounding, vibration plates, castor oil packs, bitters, and proper hydration are affordable ways to support your body—no expensive kits required! -Customize (and Question) Advice: What works for one person may not work for you. Lab work, personal history, and targeted support beat “blind” detox every time.Some questions I ask: -If someone comes to you and says, “I don’t feel good, should I detox?”—what’s your first step? -Can you explain what detox pathways are, and why they matter? -How do you approach clients who are pushing through chronic illness without realizing how sick they are? -What practical tips do you recommend for supporting lymphatic drainage and liver health, especially at home? -Why is it so crucial to consider both emotional and physical components in healing?Learn more about our guests: -Find Brittany Heyden NP and Kara Stoltenberg on Facebook and Instagram: @karastoltenberg and @brittany.heyden For collaborations, coaching, and more about their programs, go to their website: karastoltenberg.com and brittanyheyden.comResources mentioned: -Therasage Sauna: https://therasage.com -Redmond Real Salt: https://redmond.life -Queen of Thrones Castor Oil Packs: https://shopqueenofthethrones.com -Rebounding Trampoline & Vibration Plates (available on Amazon and wellness shops) -Dandelion Root Tea, Milk Thistle, Bitters: Available in most health stores and online -Castor Oil (organic, cold-pressed, in glass) -For additional reading: Ayurveda and nervous system regulation practices; functional medicine texts-Check YouTube for demonstrations: “Lymphatic drainage massage,” “Dry brushing for lymphatics” Whether you’re seeking to reclaim your energy, curious about functional medicine, or tuning in for friendship and fun, don’t miss this lively, heartfelt episode—and catch Part 2 for even more insights on living Healthy, Happy, Wise, and Wealthy. 🌱We are excited to have IT company https://www.mindiii.com as a podcast sponsor.

Healthy Boundaries and Heartfelt Giving: Striking the Right Balance Pt 2
🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this insightful episode, host Mary Meyer welcomes back Kara Stoltenberg for a vulnerable and enlightening conversation about supporting loved ones through challenging times—while honoring your own boundaries and wellbeing. Drawing from personal experiences with physical, mental, and emotional struggles, Mary and Kara dive deep into what it means to "hold space" for others, the importance of professional support, and how genuine connections can be both healing and complex. Whether you're supporting a struggling friend, navigating family addiction, or seeking connection yourself, this episode offers heartfelt guidance and practical wisdom for fostering healthy relationships.🌟 Topics Covered:Balancing personal boundaries and supporting loved ones in crisisThe distinction between professional help and personal supportSupporting individuals with addiction and recognizing your limitsUnderstanding grief and helplessness in the face of family strugglesThe necessity of professional and community resources (like Al-Anon)Reciprocity and balance in friendships and relationshipsSetting and communicating healthy boundariesThe importance of connection, especially when experiencing lonelinessRecognizing and avoiding “leaky vessel” dynamicsNavigating narcissistic or imbalanced relationshipsThe evolving journey of healing for both self and othersKey takeaways:You cannot—and should not—take more responsibility for someone’s healing than they are willing to take for themselves. Balance your care for others with care for your own mental and emotional resources.Professional help is essential in certain situations. Friends and family can offer support, but are not substitutes for trained professionals, especially in cases like addiction.Boundaries are acts of care—for you and for others. Clearly communicate your limits and honor them with compassion.Relationships thrive in give-and-take. If you notice a consistent lack of reciprocity, reflect and adjust accordingly.Connection is the antidote to loneliness, but building meaningful relationships requires time, effort, and openness.Even small gestures—like a check-in text or sharing a meme—can have a big impact for someone going through hardship.Sometimes you must grieve the loss of what you hoped someone could be, especially when dealing with loved ones in cycles of self-destruction.Using your voice to set boundaries may feel uncomfortable, but it is a skill that can be developed and is crucial for healthy connections.Some questions I ask:How do you decide when to hold space for someone versus when to set a boundary?What can you do when a loved one struggles with addiction and you feel helpless?How can we support friends or family going through tough times without sacrificing our own wellbeing?What do you look for to gauge whether someone is taking steps to help themselves?When is it time to involve professionals (counselors, support groups) versus relying on personal support?What advice do you give to people feeling lonely or disconnected after multiple moves or life changes?How do you recognize and exit unhealthy or predatory relationship dynamics?Learn more about our guest:Instagram: @karastoltenbergWebsite: karastoltenberg.comContact Form: Available via her website for coaching inquiriesResources Mentioned & Recommended:Al-Anon: https://al-anon.org (support for those affected by others’ alcoholism)12-Step Programs (for addiction and family support)Voice-note Apps (for staying in touch: e.g., WhatsApp, Voxer, Marco Polo)Books/podcasts on boundaries, relationships, and healing (no specific titles mentioned but encouraged seeking supportive resources online)💬 Whether you’re a seasoned support-giver, someone seeking connection, or healing from your own challenges, this episode will leave you empowered and more compassionate—towards yourself as much as others.Subscribe for more wise, heartfelt conversations about living a Healthy, Happy, Wise, Wealthy life!We are excited to have IT company https://www.mindiii.com as a podcast sponsor.

The Art of Being Present: Kara Stoltenberg’s Guide to Listening and Navigating Tough Emotions Pt 1
🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this powerful and heartfelt episode, host Mary Meyer sits down with Kara Stoltenberg, coach, healer, and host of “Stepping in with Kara” podcast, to explore the essential skill of holding space and the art of active listening. Kara shares her inspiring story of recovery from a traumatic accident, offering wisdom from over twenty years’ experience helping others process emotion, build resilience, and live a more present, integrated life. Together, Mary and Kara break down why listening—both to ourselves and to others—is vital for our physical, emotional, and spiritual health, and how embracing all our emotions can be truly transformative.🌟 Topics Covered:Kara’s journey after a life-altering bicycle accidentThe concept of “holding space” and why it mattersHow to process emotions in healthy ways (anger, sadness, grief, etc.)The link between physical, emotional, and spiritual healthManaging boundaries as a friend/supporter versus a professionalRecognizing survival strategies: fight, flight, freeze, and fawnBuilding self-listening and body awarenessThe importance of professional support in healingShame, trauma, and compassion on the healing journeyKey Takeaways:Holding space is about listening deeply—without judgment or the urge to fix—so that others can process and heal.Our ability to sit with our own feelings directly impacts how well we can support others.All emotions are valid and carry important information—when we “digest” them rather than suppress them, we grow healthier.Healthy boundaries are vital: you can care for others while honoring your own limits and need for support.Healing from trauma and grief is possible when approached with patience, safety, and the right support network.Some Questions I Asked:“What does it mean to truly hold space for someone?”“How can someone become more comfortable with difficult emotions in themselves?”“What are some practical ways to listen to your body and recognize what you need in hard times?”“How do boundaries play a role in holding space, whether as a friend or a professional?”“What support systems do you recommend to someone starting their own healing process?”Learn More About Our Guest, Kara Stoltenberg:Instagram: @karastoltenberg FacebookPodcast: Stepping in with KaraWebsite: KaraStoltenberg.comRESOURCES & FURTHER LEARNING:Stepping in with Kara PodcastMentioned in discussion: concepts of “fight/flight/freeze/fawn” in trauma workFor professional help: therapists, somatic practitioners, trauma recovery resourcesEmotional Processing: “Feelings Buried Alive Never Die” by Karol Truman (book suggestion for further reading on emotions and health)Additional wellness support: look for local trauma-informed counselors or support groupsWe are excited to have IT company https://www.mindiii.com as a podcast sponsor.

Healing Behind Bars and Badges: Dr. Davena Longshore on Law Enforcement Wellness Pt1
🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this compelling episode, host Mary Meyer sits down with Dr. Davena Longshore, Executive Director of Research, Operations, and Development at the Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health. With a powerful blend of lived experience and deep academic expertise in trauma, policing, and correctional psychology, Dr. Longshore opens up about her journey working in high-security prisons, her pivotal role in law enforcement wellness research, and her mission to bridge divides between law enforcement and marginalized communities. Recorded on Juneteenth, this episode is an honest, nuanced conversation about institutional trauma, empathy, bias, police mental health, and the complex roots of systemic challenges—plus, real-world solutions and hope for change.🌟 Topics Covered: -Dr. Davena Longshore’s background in correctional psychology and trauma -The origins and mission of the Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health -Wellness and mental health programs for law enforcement -The intersection of race, bias, and policing in America -Personal trauma and its impact on work in corrections and policing -Challenges and resistance to implementing mental health programs for police -Understanding the role of implicit bias and schemas in human behavior -Community-driven solutions to law enforcement and public trust -Best practices for bridging divides and creating officer/community wellness programsKey Takeaways: -Empathy and trauma-informed care are essential in high-stress professions like corrections and policing, but they come with significant personal cost. -Acknowledging and addressing historical and systemic biases is crucial for real reform in law enforcement practices. -Programs aimed at officer wellness must also address masculinity norms, depression, PTSD, and substance use among officers—and should come from inside communities themselves. -Entrenching oneself in the lived experience of “the other”—whether that’s law enforcement or marginalized groups—can break down bias and foster understanding. -Positive, community-based policing—where officers become true members of the community—reduces crime, enhances trust, and creates real human connections.Some Questions I Ask: -Can you share about the Cummings Foundation’s origins and mission in behavioral health? -What was it like working in a level four double-max security facility, and how did it shape your empathy and understanding of trauma? -How does trauma impact the personalities and home lives of corrections staff and law enforcement? -What are the systemic barriers to officer wellness, and how are your programs confronting resistance from police forces and communities? -How can people recognize and address their implicit biases—both inside and outside of law enforcement settings? -What are some real-world examples where community policing and wellness programs have made a measurable difference? -For listeners who want to bring these programs to their own communities, where should they start?Learn More About Our Guest: -Connect/Get Support/Collaborate: Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health – https://cummingscfbh.org -Contact: [email protected] (general inquiry – see website)Resources List: -Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health: https://cummingscfbh.org -Harvard Implicit Bias Tests: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/ (for testing your own biases) -American Psychological Association: https://www.apa.org/ -American Academy of Clinical Psychology: https://www.aacpsy.org/ -Society for Criminal and Police Psychology: https://www.scpdchiefs.org/ -Community Policing Resources (examples mentioned): [General reference, check your local community policing programs]If you’d like to bring law enforcement wellness programs to your area, or to support community healing, visit https://cummingscfbh.org or email the foundation for more information.We are excited to have IT company https://www.mindiii.com as a podcast sponsor.

Mary Meyer shares her own experiences from Igor’s workshops, and together they unpack the science, ancestral wisdom, and practical steps behind breathwork as a tool for holistic wellness.🌬️ Topics Covered:Igor Siberia’s journey from Siberia to HawaiiThe foundations and practice of breathworkScientific research on breathing and its effectsProcessing trauma, grief, and stored emotions through breathThe interplay between breathwork, Reiki, and energy healingCultural and religious inclusivity of breathworkThe use of musical instruments in breathwork sessionsGroup vs. individual healing experiencesAncestral wisdom and epigeneticsThe new “Codex of Liberation” four-week programAccessibility of breathwork online and in-personKey takeaways:Breathwork provides rapid and profound emotional release, often achieving what years of traditional therapy can in just a few hours.Science supports the role of intentional breathing in boosting immune function, accessing subconscious emotions, and releasing natural neurochemicals.Emotions can be stored in the body, manifesting as pain or illness—breathwork helps process and release these blocks.The program is designed to be accessible to all, regardless of religious or cultural background; breath and sound are universal.Group sessions offer added energy and support, but individual sessions are available for deeper work.Instruments like the Vargan and drums are used intentionally for emotional release and energetic shifts.Healing ancestral wounds is possible; trauma is encoded in our DNA but can be transformed.Some questions I ask:Can you share your background and what led you into breathwork?What was the defining moment that made you realize breathwork was your life’s calling?What’s the science behind breathwork, and how does it facilitate emotional and physical healing?How do you respond to concerns about breathwork fitting in with someone’s religious beliefs?Tell us how you integrate music and instruments into your workshops.What differences do you see between group and one-on-one sessions?How do ancestral trauma and generational patterns factor into your work?What’s included in your new four-week program, and how can people access it?Learn more about our guest:Instagram & YouTube: @BreathMysteryFacebook: @MysteryBreathWebsite: www.BreathMystery.comEmail: [email protected] up for Breath Mystery’s programs, events, and upcoming “Codex of Liberation” online experience.📚 Resources:Breath Mystery YouTube Channel: Breath MysteryUpcoming online four-week program: “Codex of Liberation and Four Keys to a New Reality” (details at www.BreathMystery.com)Scientific studies and research presented during workshops (accessible via program materials)References to ancestral knowledge from Siberia and HawaiiTestimonials and case stories (featured on Breath Mystery’s social channels and website)Music and sound therapy explained in workshops and video presentationsWe are excited to have IT company https://www.mindiii.com as a podcast sponsor.
