Lift OneSelf -Podcast

Send us a text Are you exhausted from saying "yes" when you need to say "no"? This game-changing episode reveals why healthy boundaries are the ultimate form of self-love—and the missing key to deeper connections. Millions struggle silently with boundary-setting, trapped between self-sacrifice and relationship preservation. As one listener confessed, "Sometimes it's hard because there is a lot of love and you feel like you have to explain why you're stepping away." This powerful testimony captures what so many of us experience daily. Discover the paradigm shift that's transforming lives: boundaries aren't walls that disconnect—they're sacred gardens that allow authentic relationships to flourish. When we set boundaries from fear, we remain powerless. When we establish them from wholeness, they become profound declarations of our inherent worth. Master the revolutionary TRUST framework that psychology experts are embracing: This episode distinguishes between protective discomfort (keeping you small) and growth discomfort (expanding your potential), revealing why emotional safety can never be outsourced—it must be created within.

Send us a text Your body doesn't lie. That tightness in your chest before their call? The knot in your stomach when they text? It's not anxiety—it's clarity. In this raw, unfiltered episode, I reveal how I stayed trapped for years in relationships that dimmed my light—convinced that familiar discomfort was safer than the unknown. These weren't dramatic, obvious toxicity. They were the quiet kind: conditional support, subtle dismissals, and the constant reminder of who I used to be when I was trying to become who I am. As one client confessed, "I wasn't afraid of losing them; I was afraid of finding me." Six months after setting that boundary, she launched the business she'd been dreaming of for a decade. Your nervous system recognizes what your heart can't admit: some people were only meant to be chapters, not the entire story of your life. Freedom awaits on the other side of what you're willing to release. Before our next episode on "Embracing Self-Trust," write a letter from your future self who has already let go. What wisdom have they found? What freedom have they claimed? Your authentic life is waiting. Your body already knows the way. Transform these insights into lasting change.

Send us a text What if the physical pain you've battled for years isn't actually physical at all? Jenny Harkleroad's extraordinary journey from debilitating chronic pain to complete healing challenges everything we think we know about our bodies and minds. After a hiking accident left her with a broken back, Jenny's expected six-week recovery stretched into years of agony that conventional medicine couldn't resolve. Despite surgeries, pain medications, and every medical intervention available, nothing helped—until she discovered the true source of her suffering wasn't in her spine but in her subconscious. Working with a doctor who used muscle testing to access her body's hidden knowledge, Jenny uncovered how emotional wounds from her past were creating physical manifestations in her present. More surprisingly, she found herself taking pain pills not for physical discomfort but to numb emotions related to her marriage—a revelation that began a deeper healing journey touching every aspect of her life. The most profound transformation came when Jenny learned to reprogram her subconscious mind. After 100 therapy sessions exploring issues in her marriage without resolution, a three-day immersion in subconscious repatterning completely transformed her relationship without her husband changing at all. By healing the wounded parts of herself that were causing her to react negatively to her husband's behaviors, she found herself responding with curiosity instead of anger, acceptance instead of judgment. Jenny's powerful story reminds us that we're often taught to "think our feelings" rather than actually experiencing them—a disconnection that can manifest as physical pain, relationship struggles, and a pervasive sense of unhappiness despite outward success. Through her personal transformation, she now helps others reprogram their subconscious minds to create profound changes in health, relationships, and overall wellbeing.

Send us a text That feeling of existing in a room full of people yet somehow remaining completely invisible—it cuts deeper than we often admit. Through vulnerable reflection, I explore this universal wound of feeling unseen and the exhausting pattern of seeking validation from people and places that simply cannot give it. Many of us know the sting of having our truth dismissed or misunderstood, even by those we love most. This triggers a storm inside—rage, isolation, and an almost desperate need to make others acknowledge our pain. But what happens when we finally stop waiting for external validation? What transforms when we begin to truly see ourselves? The real journey begins when we move beyond intellectually knowing we're enough to actually embodying this truth. Through a guided meditation, I share a practice that has helped me navigate these feelings of invisibility. We breathe into discomfort together while affirming our inherent worth: "I see myself. I hear myself. My truth matters." Healing involves gathering all the pieces of ourselves we've scattered throughout life and integrating them into wholeness. While we can't control how others perceive us, we absolutely control how we perceive ourselves. Once you start holding your truth authentically, you'll discover you don't need anyone else to tell you who you are—you already know. For those resonating with these themes, my Raw Healing course dives deeper into the uncomfortable but necessary work of feeling our authentic emotions. Visit liftoneselfcom for details, and join me next time when we'll explore letting go of relationships that no longer serve us. Remember, you matter—whether others see it or not.

Send us a text After years of feeling trapped by the shadows of her past, Dr. Kelly Bohnhoff discovered a transformative path that led her from trauma to triumph. Join us as she shares her remarkable story of healing and empowerment, revealing the powerful connections between trauma, energy, and the nervous system. We explore the concept of "parachuting" into life circumstances, suggesting that our journeys are not mere accidents but carry pre-ordained energy and purpose. Dr. Kelly's insights offer a compassionate understanding of how trauma can affect the mind, body, and spirit, providing hope and guidance for families seeking to reconnect with their true selves. In our exploration, we confront the limiting beliefs that often hold us back—those insidious feelings of being unlovable or unworthy. Dr. Kelly encourages us to reflect deeply on the origins of these beliefs and demonstrates how shifting to empowering language can transform our personal and familial relationships. Through her narrative, we understand the importance of self-nurturing and redefining the energy we invite into our lives. This journey is not just about escaping victimhood but embracing a powerful vision of ourselves as manifestations of divine love in action. Finally, we tackle the delicate dance of integrating the ego into our personal growth. With Dr. Kelly as our guide, we embark on a metaphorical interview with the ego, understanding its fears and the necessity of making it a valued component of our inner team. By fostering harmony among the mind, body, and spirit, we learn to release societal conditioning and step into a life of autonomy and internal guidance. This episode offers the promise of a pain-free, medication-free existence where freedom is not just the absence of fear but a profound embrace of all that we are. Join us on this riveting exploration of energy and healing, and unlock the potential for transformation within yourself and your family.

Send us a text Imagine carrying the weight of unprocessed trauma, not just in your mind, but etched into the very fibers of your being. Join me, Nat Nat, on a transformative journey with Dr. Momoko Uno, a leading expert in integrative medicine, as we unravel the profound connection between trauma and the body. Our conversation shines a light on how deeply embedded trauma can disrupt the nervous system, often manifesting as chronic illness. Discover the vital role of stress and cortisol and learn how a simple act of mindful breathing can anchor you to the present, fostering a path to healing and self-care. Throughout this episode, Dr. Uno and I explore the delicate dance between emotions, trauma, and healing. I share my personal voyage from studying integrative medicine and acupuncture to the discovery of how essential authentic emotional expression is for true recovery. Together, we confront the stigma around emotions like anger, often misunderstood but essential for self-protection and healing. Understand how repressing these emotions can lead to physical ailments, and uncover ways to navigate the body's complex reactions such as fight, flight, fawn, or freeze, which can lead to chronic inflammation and illness. We also delve into the shadows cast by medical trauma, especially in childhood, and the challenges within the healthcare system that often invalidate those with chronic pain. By acknowledging the shared trauma experienced by both patients and medical professionals, we advocate for a more empathetic and compassionate approach to healthcare. As we close, we encourage spreading awareness and kindness in mental health, offering tools and insights to empower those on their healing journey.

Send us a text Have you ever considered that accepting reality, especially in times of profound loss, doesn't mean suppressing your emotions but rather embracing them fully? Join me on the Lift One's Self podcast as I recount a vivid dream that stirred deep emotions and led to a renewed understanding of living with loss. Through personal stories from my experiences as a hospice caregiver, I share how confronting impermanence can foster resilience and faith, even when it clashes with our expectations. As the holiday season approaches, let's find joy in everyday moments and make a conscious choice to perceive happiness amidst life's inevitable challenges. We also pause to reflect on the delicate balance between growth and stillness, an exploration of striving versus simply being. It's not always about becoming something more but appreciating who and where we are now. I encourage you to practice self-acceptance and gratitude for your current state, advocating for kindness and gentleness towards oneself. Together, let's cherish this meaningful space and time, uplifting ourselves and those around us while honoring each moment we live.
