The Advisor with Stacey Chillemi

Spiritual awakening doesn't always arrive quietly — sometimes it arrives as the slow collapse of everything that used to make sense. Your relationships shift, your career loses its pull, your identity starts to feel like a costume. That feeling is not a personal failure. Internationally acclaimed intuitive healer and bestselling author Inna Segal has spent more than two decades helping people understand exactly what happens when the body, emotions, and collective consciousness shift at the same time. After this conversation, the ground feels different. ────────────────────────────────────────── CONNECT WITH INNA SEGAL 🌐 Website: https://www.innasegal.com/ 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/InnaSegalAuthor ────────────────────────────────────────── If this helped, subscribe, rate, and share to support the show!

The men's mental health crisis is real — and mostly silent. Victor Bretting, 8th-generation Texan, construction executive, and author of The Man That I Would Become, built B-Tex Ranch into more than a hunting destination. It became a sanctuary — with 60+ donated hunts for veterans with PTSD, at-risk youth, and families in hard seasons. In this episode, Victor shares what five decades of leadership, personal hardship, and faith-driven service taught him about resilience, mentorship, and legacy. The outdoors, he says, creates the honest conversations men aren't having anywhere else. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONNECT WITH VICTOR BRETTING!🌐 Website: https://brettingtexanranch.com📸 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/btexranch💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/victor-bretting-907bb746▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BrettingTexanRanch📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/btexranch📚 Book: The Man That I Would Become — https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GVPR4SC9 Learn more about your ad choices.

Pediatric brain surgeon Dr. Alan R. Cohen has performed thousands of procedures over 40 years — and says the most powerful tool he's ever used isn't in the OR.

Faith fatigue doesn't announce itself. It shows up quietly — when you're still doing everything right but nothing feels real anymore. That spiritual hollowness isn't a character flaw; it's what happens when faith becomes something you know instead of someone you experience.

People pleasing isn't a personality flaw — it's a fear response rooted in childhood, perfectionism, and the deep need to stay loved and safe. You keep saying yes, over-explaining, managing everyone's comfort, and somewhere in the process, you've lost track of what you actually want.

You pray, you show up, you say all the right words, and from the outside everything looks fine. But underneath, the connection you once felt has gone quiet, and you cannot say when it slipped.

You walk into a room and everyone's airing their stress, and you realize you can't remember the last time you felt rested. You're eating well, taking supplements, trying to sleep, and you're still exhausted, anxious, and inflamed. What if the real problem isn't your hormones at all? The belly fat, the 3 a.m. wake-ups, the blood pressure creeping up, the energy that just vanished. None of it is random, and none of it is your fault. It's a body locked in survival mode, pumping out cortisol it was never designed to make all day long. That cortisol quietly steals the building blocks your body needs for the hormones that make you feel like yourself again.

You outwork everyone, you keep everyone happy, and you still feel like you have to earn your place. That exhaustion is not a character flaw. It is a wound that was created before you had words for it. It is not ambition. It is what happens when a child quietly decides love must be earned, then spends decades trying to earn it. The drive that built your life and the pain you keep running from are the same thing. Two strangers discovered through a single DNA test that they are biological siblings carrying the same wound from the same father. One man walked away from a company right before it sold for two hundred and fifty million dollars because he was too afraid of being abandoned to stay. One woman became so agreeable she learned to abandon herself, all the way into an eating disorder she barely survived.

Marygrace Anderson wasn't planning a career in hypnotherapy. She was just trying to quit smoking. One session at the Institute of Clinical Hypnosis in London changed everything — not just her habit, but her understanding of where anxiety, addiction, and stubborn patterns actually live in the human mind. The answer isn't in your willpower. It isn't in your logic. It's in a layer most traditional therapy never touches. What hypnotherapy actually does — and why it works when everything else hasn't — is exactly what this conversation unpacks. If you've tried everything and still feel stuck in the same loop, this episode will make you wonder why no one told you about this sooner. ────────────────────────────────────────── CONNECT WITH MARYGRACE ANDERSON: 🌐 Website: https://www.mghypnosis.co.uk 📸 Instagram: @andersonmarygrace 💼 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marygrace-anderson 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mghypnosis ────────────────────────────────────────── Learn more about your ad choices.
