Next Level Healing

Steven Twohig, international speaker, author, and founder of Mastering Change, joins Dr. Tara Perry to discuss what happens when you stop running from your shadow and start treating it as a guide. Steven's story begins in a basement, where as a three-year-old he endured abuse, starvation, and threats — and it ends with 26 years of shadow work, over 200 trained guides, and a growing global community built around one core idea: you are the medicine.In this episode, Steven breaks down why the patterns we can't escape aren't bad luck — they're the mind looping unresolved trauma until we're willing to look at it. From the boardroom to the carpet ceremony, from Tony Robbins' stage to a bathtub suicide attempt, this conversation goes deep.Key Takeaways01:07 Shadow work isn't spiritual theory, it's the most practical tool Steven knows. 03:12 The first time someone turns within, they see they're both the warden and the prisoner. 05:00 Even a skilled guide catches himself deflecting fear — on the way to the vet. 09:48 Childhood torture, addiction, and multiple suicide attempts shaped Steven's entire path. 12:15 Jung was right: what you don't address will appear in your life as fate. 16:12 Projection isn't a metaphor, it's a measurable dynamic playing out in real time. 17:44 "Shadow dancing" is why couples keep triggering the same wound in each other. 21:53 The Shadow Work app and 65+ online integration groups are free entry points. 28:05 Family constellation parallels: when the container is right, trauma peels away. 47:57 The 100th monkey effect, HeartMath, and why 144,000 people doing the work could shift everything. 54:02 High achievers at peak performance are often running hardest from their core wound. 1:08:44 The mind wants to rewrite itself — you just have to stop blocking it.Resources MentionedTurning Within: Reclaiming Your Soul from Shadow by Steven TwohigShadow Work App — free download, includes the 28-question Wheel of Life quizmasteringchange.com — full program and guide training hubshadowceremony.com — live immersion carpet work (next event: September 18–20, Orlando)Work with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

In this episode of Next Level Healing, Dr. Tara Perry sits down with New York Times bestselling author, CPA, entrepreneur, and financial literacy advocate Sharon Lechter, co-author of Rich Dad Poor Dad and long-time partner of both the Rich Dad Company and the Napoleon Hill Foundation. Sharon’s Origin Story: Money at the Dinner TableSharon grew up lower middle class in a family of entrepreneurs, living between her father’s used car lot and her mother’s beauty shop, and helping manage rental properties from the age of 10. [4:50] [5:00]Her family also owned orange groves; her father taught her that the oranges were cashflow while the land itself would grow in value—land that later became part of SeaWorld in Orlando. [5:10]Money, assets, and investing were regular dinner-table topics, shaping her understanding of wealth early on. [5:10] [5:24]She became the first in her family to attend college, was the only woman in her accounting classes, and one of the first women in public accounting in the late 1970s, where she learned how companies succeed and fail. [5:24] [5:51]From Talking Books to Rich Dad Poor DadSharon helped build a global company around the first talking children’s books with sound strips, licensing with Disney, Warner Brothers, Sesame Street, and Marvel Comics to get kids excited about reading. [6:17] [6:35]After selling that company and moving to Arizona, her oldest son went to college, was lured into credit card offers with “free pizza” and “free t-shirts,” and ended up in serious debt—an experience that took him seven years to repair and ignited Sharon’s lifelong commitment to financial literacy. [6:50] [7:12] [7:36]In December 1992, she dedicated the rest of her career to financial education, initially working with school systems. [7:56]Meeting Robert Kiyosaki & Building a Global BrandSharon’s husband, an intellectual property attorney, introduced her to Robert Kiyosaki, who had created the board game CASHFLOW. [8:11] [8:33]At the first beta test, Sharon was the only player to get out of the “rat race,” and she loved how the game aligned with her teachings on investing, assets, and the difference between active and passive income. [8:33] [8:46]Drawing on her experience commercializing products, she helped Robert bring the game to market. When he wanted to price it at $200 in 1996, she suggested writing a brochure to explain his philosophy and justify the investment. [9:09] [9:21]That “brochure” became Rich Dad Poor Dad, which they co-wrote and never expected to become a standalone phenomenon; their company was originally branded Cashflow Technologies. [9:38] [9:54]Over a 10-year partnership, Sharon served as CEO, co-authored 15 books, created multiple games and infomercial products, and launched the Rich Dad Advisors series, helping build what became the world’s largest personal finance brand in 110 countries and 51 languages. [9:54] [10:09] [10:28]Leaving Rich Dad & New Doors OpeningAfter a decade, Robert wanted to move into franchising, which Sharon felt was not a good model for franchisees; she chose to leave, emphasizing that sometimes you must close one door for others to open. [10:28] [10:41]Shortly after, she was appointed by President George W. Bush to the first President’s Advisory Council on Financial Literacy, later serving under President Obama as well—an opportunity she believes she would not have had if she’d stayed at Rich Dad. [1:29] [10:52] [11:08]In March 2008, the Napoleon Hill Foundation invited her to help reinvigorate Hill’s teachings, leading her into the world’s largest personal development brand. [11:08]

This podcast episode of Next Level Healing features Dr. Tara Perry speaking with fitness industry expert Kevin Steel, PhD, about the transformative benefits of exercise for brain health, anti-aging, and overall well-being.Kevin Steel brings decades of experience in health and fitness, having completed multiple Ironman competitions and holding a PhD in exercise physiology with a subspecialty in nutrition. He spent his career working with everyone from corporate executives to athletes, eventually becoming director of education research and member services for the world's largest health club company. The conversation centers on Steel's assertion that exercise is like a miracle drug - "if science could put it inside a pill, people would be lined up around the block, willing to pay anything to get it". He emphasizes that only 7% of chronic diseases are genetic, meaning 93% are lifestyle-related and preventable. Key benefits of exercise discussed include:Brain Health: Regular exercise regenerates neurons and expands gray and white matter in the brain [13:52]. It stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which acts like "fertilizer for your brain" [15:32]. Exercise can reduce amyloid plaques associated with Alzheimer's and dementia [13:52].Mental Health: Steel references Dr. John Ratey's book "Spark," which demonstrated that exercise therapy can achieve the same or better results than pharmaceutical drugs for treating anxiety, depression, and stress [21:12] [21:38].Physical Health: Exercise improves cardiovascular function, blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and can even reverse type 2 diabetes when combined with healthy eating [18:58] [16:32] [18:01].Children's Health: A study in Naperville, Illinois showed that structured exercise programs eliminated ADHD symptoms in children, allowed them to go off medications like Ritalin, and dramatically improved academic test scores [23:05] [23:34] [23:44].Steel advocates for a whole food, plant-based diet, noting concerns about hormones and antibiotics in mass-produced animal products [34:11]. He emphasizes that exercise doesn't require expensive equipment - simple activities like walking 30 minutes daily cost nothing but provide significant health benefits [29:33].Despite these proven benefits, only 26% of American adults exercise regularly, and only 18-20% belong to health clubs [28:34]. Steel attributes this partly to doctors receiving little education about exercise science in medical school, leaving patients without specific guidance when told to "eat better and exercise" [30:53] [31:41].The episode concludes with Steel's contact information for those seeking more guidance: LinkedIn at Kevin D Steel PhD: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevindsteelephd and email at [email protected] with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every Wednesday for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

In this episode of "Next Level Healing," host Dr. Tara Perry engages in a transformative conversation with her guest, Kat, who shares her personal journey of healing and self-discovery through hypnotherapy. With over 25 years of experience, Dr. Perry aims to demystify the recovery process, making it accessible and relatable for listeners.Kat opens up about her struggles with chronic back pain, anxiety, fear, and self-doubt prior to their sessions. Despite trying various traditional therapies such as acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy, she found little relief, which only exacerbated her feelings of helplessness. Driven by a desire for change, Kat decided to explore hypnotherapy after being inspired by the teachings of Joe Dispenza on self-healing and the power of the mind.Early in the process, Kat experienced a shift in her mindset, realizing that the moment she committed to the hypnotherapy journey, her subconscious began to awaken. She describes the initial sessions as a safe space where she could confront her inner struggles and gain clarity. As she engaged with the hypnotherapy recordings, she felt a sense of lightness and began to feed the "good wolf" within her.As the sessions progressed, Kat noticed significant improvements in her back pain, which had decreased by half by the time of her second session. She likens her experience to building a sturdy bridge to her authentic self, allowing her to reunite with a version of herself she had long lost touch with. This newfound connection brought her joy, freedom, and a stronger sense of self, enabling her to establish better boundaries and clarity in her life.Work with Dr. Tara PerryTune in every week for a new episode of Next Level Healing.

In this episode of "Next Level Healing," host Dr. Tara Perry welcomes Christy Whitman, a two-time New York Times bestselling author and a 25-year transformational leader. The conversation centers around the concept of "flow"—a state of being that many desire but often find elusive. Christy explains that flow is not just about feeling good; it encompasses abundance, success, love, and well-being. She emphasizes that flow exists for everyone, but individuals often become disconnected from it due to various life experiences and internal contrasts, such as past traumas and negative self-talk.Dr. Perry and Christy delve into the Law of Attraction, discussing common misconceptions that lead people to struggle with manifesting their desires. Christy highlights that while many understand the principle of sending out energy to attract what they want, they often overlook the importance of being conscious of the energy they are receiving and holding within themselves. This internal dialogue can significantly impact their ability to manifest their desires.The discussion also touches on the imprints from childhood experiences, both big and small, that shape individuals' beliefs about themselves.
