Mary Meyer sits down with herbalist, educator, and Cedar Bear Naturals co-founder Jhoane Robinson for a thoughtful conversation about women’s health, herbal nutrition, mineral support, gardening, and returning to nature in practical, empowering ways.</p><p>Jhoane shares the remarkable story behind Cedar Bear Naturals and the alcohol-free herbal extraction process developed by her husband Carl Robinson — a process many believed was impossible. Together, Mary and Jhoane explore how herbal remedies can support hormonal balance, digestion, stress, immune health, thyroid function, menopause, and everyday wellness without fear-based messaging or unrealistic promises.</p><p>This episode proves that wellness does not have to be complicated. From growing herbs in small pots to understanding what your body may truly need, this conversation is full of grounded encouragement and practical tools for living healthier, calmer, and more connected lives.</p><p>🌟 <strong>Topics Covered:</strong></p><p>In Honor of May Women's Health Month: Women’s herbal wellness and hormone support</p><ul><li>Why micronutrients and trace minerals matter</li><li>Alcohol-free herbal extracts explained</li><li>Natural approaches to menopause support</li><li>Supporting thyroid and iodine balance</li><li>Herbal tools for stress and nervous system support</li><li>Pregnancy wellness and blood-building support</li><li>Digestive health and soothing herbal remedies</li><li>Organic gardening for beginners</li><li>Simple ways to grow herbs at home</li><li>Herbal teas and everyday wellness habits</li><li>Understanding labels and avoiding overly processed products</li></ul><p><strong>Key takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>Your body needs nourishment, not just symptom management</li><li>Small daily wellness habits can create meaningful long-term change</li><li>Herbal support works best when paired with consistency and awareness</li><li>Growing even one herb at home can reconnect you to wellness</li><li>Women’s health deserves personalized, supportive care</li><li>Mineral balance and nutrition impact nearly every body system</li><li>Wellness does not have to feel intimidating or overwhelming</li><li>Nature offers practical tools that fit into everyday life</li><li>Reading ingredient labels matters more than most people realize</li><li>You’re not alone if modern health products have left you frustrated</li></ul><p><strong>Some questions I ask:</strong></p><ul><li>How did you first become involved in herbalism?</li><li>What makes Cedar Bear Naturals different from traditional tinctures?</li><li>Why did you choose an alcohol-free herbal process?</li><li>What are some of the biggest challenges women face nutritionally today?</li><li>Which herbal formulas do you find most helpful for women’s health?</li><li>Why are minerals and micronutrients so important for the body?</li><li>What role does iodine play in thyroid health?</li><li>How can beginners start growing herbs at home?</li><li>What are some easy herbs people can start with?</li><li>Why does the body respond differently to liquid herbal remedies?</li></ul><p><strong>Learn more about our guest:<br></strong><br></p><p>🌿 Cedar Bear Naturals<br>Website: <a href="https://cedarbear.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com">Cedar Bear Naturals<br></a><br></p><p>🌿 Cedar Bear Herb Farm<br>Location: Northeastern Utah</p><p>🌿 Connect with Jhoane Robinson<br>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jhoane-robinson-21841423/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/jhoane-robinson-21841423/</a></p><p><strong><br>Books mentioned<br></strong>Square Foot Gardening by Mel Bartholomew: <a href="https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/square-foot-gardening-by-mel-bartholomew/247723/?resultid=4ecf642a-8def-4f94-bc54-7d418c2f4560#edition=7612295&amp;idiq=4089779">https://www.thriftbooks.com/w/square-foot-gardening-by-mel-bartholomew/247723/?resultid=4ecf642a-8def-4f94-bc54-7d418c2f4560#edition=7612295&amp;idiq=4089779</a></p><p><br></p><p><strong>Guest Recommendations: </strong></p><ul><li>French press herbal tea infusions, an example: <a href="https://www.euphoricherbals.com/products/french-press-tea-infuser-27oz">https://www.euphoricherbals.com/products/french-press-tea-infuser-27oz</a></li><li>Raised bed gardening systems by Mel Bartholomew: <a href="https://www.worldofbooks.com/products/all-new-square-foot-gardening-3rd-edition-fully-updated-book-mel-bartholomew-9780760362853#9792672104721">https://www.worldofbooks.com/products/all-new-square-foot-gardening-3rd-edition-fully-updated-book-mel-bartholomew-9780760362853#9792672104721</a></li><li>For heirloom seeds: <a href="https://www.rareseeds.com/">https://www.rareseeds.com/</a> </li><li>For medicinal seeds: <a href="https://strictlymedicinalseeds.com/">https://strictlymedicinalseeds.com/</a></li></ul><p><strong>Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy is now connecting business owners, startup founders and real estate investors with necessary funding. <br>Follow this Link to Apply</strong>: <a href="https://hhwwmmcllc.getbizfunds.com/home-4850">https://hhwwmmcllc.getbizfunds.com/home-4850</a></p><p><strong>Sponsor Information:<br></strong>We are excited to have IT company <a href="https://www.mindiii.com/">https://www.mindiii.com</a> as a podcast sponsor. </p><p>Founded in 2015, MINDIII is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy!</strong></p><p>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 priest, former professional musician, educator, embodiment specialist, and author of <strong>Your Body Is Your Business Plan</strong>, offering listeners a practical and hopeful way to return to themselves.</p><p>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. This episode proves that embodiment is not just a wellness concept—it is a way to communicate, lead, create, heal, and live with more truth, ease, and presence.</p><p><strong>🌟 Topics Covered:</strong></p><ul><li>Embodiment and signal literacy</li><li>Voice, spine, breath, and nonverbal communication</li><li>Public speaking anxiety and high-stakes performance</li><li>Laughter as a release tool</li><li>The body as a business plan</li><li>Lodestone and guided audio embodiment practice</li><li>Gut instinct and body-based knowing</li><li>Burnout in purpose-driven work</li><li>Vagus nerve tone and whole-body listening</li><li>Play, creativity, and nonproductive joy</li></ul><p><strong>Key takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>Your body often detects truth before the mind can explain it</li><li>The voice can reveal stress, alignment, sincerity, and embodiment</li><li>Laughter is a powerful way to release tension and reconnect with breath</li><li>Presence is more effective than over-rehearsed performance</li><li>Your uniqueness is part of your strength as a speaker or leader</li><li>Burnout often creeps in when we stop receiving the body’s signals</li><li>Whole-body listening can help you read people, rooms, and environments more clearly</li><li>Play is not wasted time—it can restore lightness and humanity</li></ul><p><strong>Some questions I ask:</strong></p><ul><li>What can you tell from someone’s voice?</li><li>How does the spine connect to voice and embodiment?</li><li>How can leaders stay embodied in high-stakes moments?</li><li>How does laughter help release the body?</li><li>What is your book <strong>Your Body Is Your Business Plan</strong> about?</li><li>What is Lodestone, and how does it help people reconnect with themselves?</li><li>How do gut signals help us make better decisions?</li><li>Why do people still burn out doing work they love?</li><li>How does the vagus nerve connect to embodiment and awareness?</li><li>How can people work with you or join your live sessions?</li></ul><p><strong>Learn more about Linden Thorp:</strong></p><ul><li>Website: <a href="https://lindenthorp.com/">https://lindenthorp.com/</a></li><li>Book: <strong>Your Body Is Your Business Plan</strong></li><li>Program: Lodestone</li><li>Digital product: Embodied Compassion for Professionals</li><li>Platforms: LinkedIn, YouTube, Medium, Substack, Brainz Magazine</li><li>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@HumanUnlimitedOfficial">https://www.youtube.com/@HumanUnlimitedOfficial</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anti9to5incomeplan/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/anti9to5incomeplan/</a></li><li>Live events on LinkedIn: Mindful Moments, Your Body Is Your Business Plan Masterclass, Embodiment Q&amp;A, Peace and Wealth</li></ul><p><strong>• Books mentioned</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Your Body Is Your Business Plan</strong> by Linden Thorp: https://a.co/d/0dNRMAOP</li></ul><p><strong>• Programs mentioned</strong></p><ul><li>Lodestone Program: <a href="https://lindenthorp.com/lodestone-brochure-9570">https://lindenthorp.com/lodestone-brochure-9570</a></li><li>Peace and Wealth: <a href="https://lindenthorp.com/peace-and-wealth">https://lindenthorp.com/peace-and-wealth</a></li><li>Embodied Compassion for Professionals: <a href="https://lindenthorp.com/embodied-presence-masterclass">https://lindenthorp.com/embodied-presence-masterclass</a></li><li>Mindful Moments: <a href="https://lindenthorp.com/mindful-moments-for-professionals">https://lindenthorp.com/mindful-moments-for-professionals</a></li><li>Your Body Is Your Business Plan Masterclass: <a href="https://lindenthorp.com/masterclass-registration">https://lindenthorp.com/masterclass-registration</a></li><li>Embodiment Q&amp;A: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/Anti9to5IncomePlan">https://www.linkedin.com/in/Anti9to5IncomePlan</a></li></ul><p><strong>Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy is now connecting business owners, startup founders and real estate investors with necessary funding. <br>Follow this Link to Apply</strong>: <a href="https://hhwwmmcllc.getbizfunds.com/home-4850">https://hhwwmmcllc.getbizfunds.com/home-4850</a></p><p><strong>Sponsor information</strong><br>We are excited to have IT company <a href="https://www.mindiii.com/">https://www.mindiii.com</a> as a podcast sponsor. </p><p>Founded in 2015, MINDIII is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.

This episode proves that embodiment is not just a wellness concept—it is a way to communicate, lead, create, heal, and live with more truth, ease, and presence.</p><p><strong>🌟 Topics Covered:</strong></p><ul><li>Embodiment and signal literacy</li><li>Voice, spine, breath, and nonverbal communication</li><li>Public speaking anxiety and high-stakes performance</li><li>Laughter as a release tool</li><li>The body as a business plan</li><li>Lodestone and guided audio embodiment practice</li><li>Gut instinct and body-based knowing</li><li>Burnout in purpose-driven work</li><li>Vagus nerve tone and whole-body listening</li><li>Play, creativity, and nonproductive joy</li></ul><p><strong>Key takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>Your body often detects truth before the mind can explain it</li><li>The voice can reveal stress, alignment, sincerity, and embodiment</li><li>Laughter is a powerful way to release tension and reconnect with breath</li><li>Presence is more effective than over-rehearsed performance</li><li>Your uniqueness is part of your strength as a speaker or leader</li><li>Burnout often creeps in when we stop receiving the body’s signals</li><li>Whole-body listening can help you read people, rooms, and environments more clearly</li><li>Play is not wasted time—it can restore lightness and humanity</li></ul><p><strong>Some questions I ask:</strong></p><ul><li>What can you tell from someone’s voice?</li><li>How does the spine connect to voice and embodiment?</li><li>How can leaders stay embodied in high-stakes moments?</li><li>How does laughter help release the body?</li><li>What is your book <strong>Your Body Is Your Business Plan</strong> about?</li><li>What is Lodestone, and how does it help people reconnect with themselves?</li><li>How do gut signals help us make better decisions?</li><li>Why do people still burn out doing work they love?</li><li>How does the vagus nerve connect to embodiment and awareness?</li><li>How can people work with you or join your live sessions?</li></ul><p><strong>Learn more about Linden Thorp:</strong></p><ul><li>Website: <a href="https://lindenthorp.com/">https://lindenthorp.com/</a></li><li>Book: <strong>Your Body Is Your Business Plan</strong></li><li>Program: Lodestone</li><li>Digital product: Embodied Compassion for Professionals</li><li>Platforms: LinkedIn, YouTube, Medium, Substack, Brainz Magazine</li><li>Youtube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@HumanUnlimitedOfficial">https://www.youtube.com/@HumanUnlimitedOfficial</a></li><li>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/anti9to5incomeplan/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/anti9to5incomeplan/</a></li><li>Live events on LinkedIn: Mindful Moments, Your Body Is Your Business Plan Masterclass, Embodiment Q&amp;A, Peace and Wealth</li></ul><p><strong>• Books mentioned</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Your Body Is Your Business Plan</strong> by Linden Thorp: https://a.co/d/0dNRMAOP</li></ul><p><strong>• Programs mentioned</strong></p><ul><li>Lodestone Program: <a href="https://lindenthorp.com/lodestone-brochure-9570">https://lindenthorp.com/lodestone-brochure-9570</a></li><li>Peace and Wealth: <a href="https://lindenthorp.com/peace-and-wealth">https://lindenthorp.com/peace-and-wealth</a></li><li>Embodied Compassion for Professionals: <a href="https://lindenthorp.com/embodied-presence-masterclass">https://lindenthorp.com/embodied-presence-masterclass</a></li><li>Mindful Moments: <a href="https://lindenthorp.com/mindful-moments-for-professionals">https://lindenthorp.com/mindful-moments-for-professionals</a></li><li>Your Body Is Your Business Plan Masterclass: <a href="https://lindenthorp.com/masterclass-registration">https://lindenthorp.com/masterclass-registration</a></li><li>Embodiment Q&amp;A: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/Anti9to5IncomePlan">https://www.linkedin.com/in/Anti9to5IncomePlan</a></li></ul><p><strong>Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy is now connecting business owners, startup founders and real estate investors with necessary funding. <br>Follow this Link to Apply</strong>: <a href="https://hhwwmmcllc.getbizfunds.com/home-4850">https://hhwwmmcllc.getbizfunds.com/home-4850</a></p><p><strong>Sponsor information</strong><br>We are excited to have IT company <a href="https://www.mindiii.com/">https://www.mindiii.com</a> as a podcast sponsor. </p><p>Founded in 2015, MINDIII is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy!</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p><strong><br>🌟 Topics Covered:</strong></p><ul><li>Company focus: Plant-based first aid, skincare, wellness, and family care products</li><li>Business identity: Women-owned, family-run company</li><li>Specialty areas discussed: First aid, anti-aging, deodorant, baby care, eczema, acne, dry skin, hormone support</li><li>Green Goo started as a family business with sister, mother</li><li>Why plant-based first aid fills an important gap</li><li>The difference between true natural products and greenwashed marketing</li><li>How skin connects to whole-body wellness</li><li>Why common skincare ingredients may create stress in the body</li><li>How herbal ingredients work together for healing</li><li>Natural support for eczema, dry skin, acne, and baby care</li><li>The business journey from farmers market to retail and e-commerce</li><li>How consumers can vote with their purchases</li><li>Why fewer ingredients can be a smart sign</li></ul><p><strong>Key takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>Your skin is not just a barrier—it’s an active part of your wellness</li><li>Small product swaps can reduce stress on your body over time</li><li>Plant-based skincare can be both effective and deeply supportive</li><li>You do not have to sacrifice quality to choose more natural options</li><li>Reading labels is empowering, even when it feels inconvenient</li><li>A strong mission can guide a business through growth without compromise</li><li>Simple routines often work better than complicated cabinets full of products</li><li>When you remove friction, your body can function more optimally</li></ul><p><strong>Key Herbal Ingredients in Skin Care Products</strong></p><ul><li>Calendula as a core healing ingredient</li><li>Arnica for inflammation support</li><li>Yarrow and plantain for wound support</li><li>Rose hips for antioxidant-rich skin care</li><li>Chamomile and St. John’s wort for calming support</li><li>Synergy between herbs matters as much as the individual plants</li></ul><p><strong>Ingredients to Avoid in Skin Care</strong></p><ul><li>Alcohol and drying agents</li><li>Oxybenzones</li><li>Phthalates</li><li>Parabens</li><li>Forever chemicals</li><li>Petroleum-based ingredients</li><li>Overly complex labels can be a red flag</li></ul><p><strong>Skin Care Product Categories and Uses</strong></p><ul><li>First aid</li><li>Anti-aging</li><li>Deodorant</li><li>Baby care</li><li>Dry skin support</li><li>Acne care</li><li>Eczema and psoriasis support</li><li>Foot care</li><li>Hormone balancing products</li></ul><p><strong>Some questions I ask:</strong></p><ul><li>How did Green Goo get started with you, your sister, and your mom?</li><li>Why do so many people still believe chemicals are the superior solution?</li><li>What happens when you mix healing herbs with synthetic ingredients?</li><li>How do you think about the connection between skin and whole-body health?</li><li>What herbs show up again and again in your products, and why?</li><li>What should people watch out for when they read ingredient labels?</li><li>How did you grow from a farmers market business into a larger brand?</li><li>What makes your process different from other so-called natural brands?</li><li>How do your products support things like eczema, dry skin, and baby care?</li><li>What can consumers do to shift this conversation with their purchases?</li></ul><p><strong>Learn more

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy!</strong></p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p>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 &amp; 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.</p><p><strong>🌟 Topics Covered:</strong></p><ul><li>Epstein's own words on:<ul><li>The Santa Fe Institute, David Rockefeller and the Rockefeller Foundation</li><li>The Trilateral Commission and how he was a part of it</li><li>How 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 words</li><li>Epstein explains fractional reserve banking and how the public and politicians doesn't understand this</li><li>How banks create assets through debt, not dollars</li><li>How political leaders don't understand finances</li><li>History of families of the "illuminati"</li></ul></li></ul><p><strong>Key takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>The Trilateral Commission is involved in shaping politics across North America, Asia and Europe</li><li>Fractional reserve banking means banks can loan up to 9x the money the actually have</li><li>The Rothschild, Rockefellers and Trilateral Commission are all also mentioned in the Bloodlines of the Illuminati document </li><li>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.</li><li>Left vs right narratives may oversimplify deeper systems that have hijacked our country.</li><li>Staying healthy doesn't mean avoiding uncomfortable topics. </li></ul><p><strong>Some questions I ask:</strong></p><ul><li>What is the actual reach and function of the Trilateral Commission?</li><li>Is the Trilateral Commission really "Some spooky thing, the Illuminati" as Epstein said?</li><li>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?</li><li>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?</li><li>Could the Bloodlines of the Illuminati document hold actual historical evidence that is relevant today? </li></ul><p><strong>Resource List:</strong></p><p><br>• Steve Bannon interview with Jeffrey Epstein, available on various site on Youtube<br>• Santa Fe Institute <a href="http://www.santafe.edu">www.santafe.edu</a> <br>• Rockefeller Foundation <a href="https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/">https://www.rockefellerfoundation.org/</a><br>• Trilateral Commission <a href="https://www.trilateral.org/">https://www.trilateral.org/</a><br>• Fractional Reserve Banking explanations (Federal Reserve resources)<br>• CIA.gov public library archives Bloodlines of the Illuminati, 1995 <a href="https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/FC/FC2F5371043C48FDD95AEDE7B8A49624_Springmeier.-.Bloodlines.of.the.Illuminati.R.pdf">https://www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/FC/FC2F5371043C48FDD95AEDE7B8A49624_Springmeier.-.Bloodlines.of.the.Illuminati.R.pdf</a></p><p><strong>Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy is now connecting business owners, startup founders and real estate investors with necessary funding. <br>Follow this Link to Apply</strong>: <a href="https://hhwwmmcllc.getbizfunds.com/home-4850">https://hhwwmmcllc.getbizfunds.com/home-4850</a></p><p><strong>Podcast Sponsor:<br></strong>Founded in 2015, MINDIII is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.

        <![CDATA[<p><strong>🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! </strong></p><p>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.</p><p>🌟 <strong>Topics Covered:</strong></p><ul><li>Joe Dillon’s background and Equitable Mediation’s resource-rich website</li><li>The myth that mediators have to be lawyers</li><li>The real cost of divorce: mediation vs. litigation</li><li>Emotional pitfalls of divorce and why lawyers aren’t therapists</li><li>How mediation fosters creative solutions for family, finances, and housing</li><li>Using scenario planning and “zone of agreement” for lasting outcomes</li><li>The rise of cohabitation and nesting arrangements post-divorce</li><li>Proprietary courses and resources for preparing for divorce, finance, and negotiation</li></ul><p><strong>Key takeaways:</strong></p><ul><li>Mediation can save you tens (or even hundreds) of thousands of dollars, prevent emotional trauma, and give families more control over outcomes than litigation.</li><li>The majority of divorce disputes are financial, making Joe Dillon’s finance background a key advantage in settlement and scenario planning.</li><li>Creative agreements—like cohabitation, nesting, and flexible buyout plans—are possible and often essential, especially in high-cost housing markets.</li><li>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.</li><li>Planning for future “what-ifs” in your divorce agreement saves massive strife down the road—use frameworks and scenario planning to decrease future conflict.</li></ul><p><strong>Some questions I ask:</strong></p><ul><li>“I thought you had to be a lawyer to be a mediator. Why is your finance background so valuable in these cases?”</li><li>“Why does using lawyers often make emotional conflicts—and the bill—worse?”</li><li>“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?”</li><li>“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?”</li><li>“How does your process handle tough emotional stalemates, and when does mediation ever fail?”</li><li>“Can people outside your six main states work with you or use your resources?”</li><li>“Tell me about your courses—who are they for and what will they learn?”</li></ul><p><strong>Learn more about our guest:</strong></p><ul><li>Website: <a href="https://www.equitablemediation.com/">equitablemediation.com</a></li><li>Schedule a free consult (for residents in six states): Via website appointment buttons</li><li>Check out Joe &amp; Cheryl Dillon’s mediation courses: <a href="https://www.equitablemediation.com/divorce-courses">https://www.equitablemediation.com/divorce-courses</a> (Financial Preparation, Negotiation, Emotional Preparation)</li><li>Read Joe’s blog, including the popular post on cohabitation after divorce: <a href="https://www.equitablemediation.com/blog">https://www.equitablemediation.com/blog</a></li><li>@EquitableMediation on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube</li></ul><p><strong>Resources list:</strong></p><ul><li>Equitable Mediation: <a href="https://www.equitablemediation.com/">equitablemediation.com</a></li><li>Courses: Divorce Financial Preparation, Divorce Negotiation, and more (<a href="https://www.equitablemediation.com/divorce-courses">link to courses</a>)</li><li>Blog post: “Can Living Together After Divorce Work?” <a href="https://www.equitablemediation.com/blog">Read Here</a></li><li>Mediation/Affordable mediation directories: Search for your state’s mediation association (e.g., New York Council on Divorce Mediators)</li><li>Divorce mediation info for non-served states: Local court websites, mediation directories, or referrals by contacting</li><li>Joe Dillon for recommendations</li></ul><p><strong>Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy is now connecting business owners, startup founders and real estate investors with necessary funding. <br>Follow this Link to Apply</strong>: <a href="https://hhwwmmcllc.getbizfunds.com/home-4850">https://hhwwmmcllc.getbizfunds.com/home-4850</a></p><p><strong>Podcast Sponsor:</strong><br>We are so excited to have IT company <a href="https://www.mindiii.com/">https://www.mindiii.com</a> as a Season 2 sponsor. </p><p>Founded in 2015, MINDIII is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.

        <![CDATA[<p>🎙️<strong> Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW) Season 2! </strong></p><p>In this uplifting episode, host Mary Meyer kicks off a new season with guest Lori Rogers of PositiveActivity.net. Together, they dive deep into the science and practice of positive thinking, resilience, and reframing life's challenges. Lori Rogers shares her six guiding principles for living a more optimistic life, actionable tools for shifting mindset, and the remarkable journey of helping her son with autism communicate through the Spelling to Communicate method. If you're interested in learning how to truly change your outlook, honor your emotions, and build greater resilience—in business, family, and personal wellness—this episode is for you.</p><p>🌟<strong> Topics Covered:</strong><br>-Six Guiding Principles of Positive Activity: Mindset, Patience &amp; Expectation, Presence, Doing Your Best, Positive Thinking, and Creativity<br>-Changing self-talk and subconscious beliefs<br>-The difference between positive mindset and toxic positivity<br>-Tools for reframing challenges and processing emotions<br>-Practices to stay resilient during setbacks<br>-Spelling to Communicate for non-speaking autistic individuals<br>-Special needs parenting and advocacy<br>-Practical resets and alignment in daily life<br>-Integrating positivity in entrepreneurship and sales<br>-The power of music, creativity, and reframing happiness</p><p><strong>Key takeaways:</strong><br>-Your subconscious mind listens to your self-talk—reframing negative thoughts transforms beliefs and outcomes.<br>-Honor all emotions instead of suppressing them; genuine positivity comes from processing and reframing.<br>-Practice presence: small pauses throughout the day can declutter your mind and help regulate stress.<br>-Visualizing and aligning with your goals—feeling the emotions of "having it"—accelerates manifestation.<br>-Never make assumptions; always do your best and approach others with compassion.<br>-Resilience is built through intentional practices—meditation, kindness, and gratitude—that keep your happiness level high.<br>-Spelling to Communicate empowers non-speaking autistic individuals to express themselves fully.<br>-The happiness equation is backwards: happiness and positive energy drive success, not the other way around.</p><p><strong>Some questions I ask:</strong><br>-How did changing your mindset and self-talk impact your life and business?<br>-What is the difference between positive thinking and toxic positivity?<br>-How do you honor emotions, especially when facing real-world trauma and setbacks?<br>-Can you explain "make haste slowly" and the importance of presence during a busy day?<br>-How do you reframe challenges and see them as happening "for you" instead of "to you"?<br>-What practical tools do you use for daily resets and maintaining alignment?<br>-Can you share the story of your son’s journey with autism and the Spelling to Communicate method?<br>-How does creative thinking and optimism influence problem solving in entrepreneurship?</p><p><strong>Connect with out guest:</strong><br>-Website: positiveactivity.net <a href="https://positiveactivity.net/">https://positiveactivity.net</a><br>-Email: <a href="mailto:lori@positiveactivity.net">lori@positiveactivity.net</a> (also: <a href="mailto:camrogers40@yahoo.com">camrogers40@yahoo.com</a></p><p>-Phone 225-892-9210</p><p>-Lori also recommends reaching out directly if you have questions about Spelling to Communicate</p><p>Positive Activity: <a href="https://www.positiveactivity.net/">https://www.positiveactivity.net</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/loriarogerspositiveactivity/">https://www.instagram.com/loriarogerspositiveactivity/</a></p><p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/positiveactivitytm/">https://www.instagram.com/positiveactivitytm/</a></p><p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100070371891843">https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100070371891843</a></p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/lori-rogers-ma-7a285b5/">https://www.linkedin.com/in/lori-rogers-ma-7a285b5/</a></p><p>YouTube: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6C_rB34QvfPpZkB67fzkqQ">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6C_rB34QvfPpZkB67fzkqQ</a></p><p>TikTok: <a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@positiveactivity">https://www.tiktok.com/@positiveactivity</a></p><p>Resources list:<br>-Positive Activity Downloads/Three Minute Reset: <a href="https://positiveactivity.net/">https://positiveactivity.net/free-downloads</a><br>-Book: The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz<br>-TED Talk: Shawn Achor’s "The Happy Secret to Better Work" [12:53 on YouTube]<br>-Book: Underestimated: An Autism Miracle (Amazon)<br>-Documentary: "The Spellers" (YouTube/Online Search)<br>-Book: E Squared by Pam Grout<br>-Book: Bar Tips: Anything I Needed to Know in Sales I Learned Behind the Bar by Neil Rogers <a href="https://positiveactivity/">https://positiveactivy.net/bar-tips-book</a><a href="https://www.positiveactivity.net/bar-tips-book"><br></a>-Rogers Marketing (Swag business): <a href="https://rogersmarketing.com/">https://rogersmarketing.com</a><br>-Special needs organization: PACE Parents Assisting Special Educators (local)<br>-Connect with Lori for information about autism, Spelling to Communicate, and Positive Activity tools.</p><p><strong>Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy is now connecting business owners, startup founders and real estate investors with necessary funding. <br>Follow this Link to Apply</strong>: <a href="https://hhwwmmcllc.getbizfunds.com/home-4850">https://hhwwmmcllc.getbizfunds.com/home-4850</a></p><p>We are so excited to have IT company <a href="https://www.mindiii.com/">https://www.mindiii.com</a> as a Season 2 sponsor. <br>Founded in 2015, <strong>MINDIII</strong> is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.

        <![CDATA[<p>🎙️ 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.</p><p>🌟 Topics Covered: -What is parental alienation and how does it differ from estrangement? </p><p>-Pre-alienation: warning signs and subtle behaviors </p><p>-The emotional impact on parents (grief, isolation, shame, powerlessness, injustice, anxiety, fear, anger, guilt) </p><p>-Understanding the alienator and children’s coping mechanisms </p><p>-The psychological dynamics of narcissism and trauma </p><p>-How to support children and yourself during periods of alienation </p><p>-Navigating holidays and special occasions while alienated </p><p>-Why community support is crucial and what "help" actually looks like </p><p>-Resources and therapeutic methods for recovery </p><p>-Practical advice for friends, family, and professionals witnessing alienation</p><p>Key takeaways: </p><p>-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. </p><p>-Acceptance and hope are essential tools for healing: accept your present reality without giving up hope for reconnection. </p><p>-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. </p><p>-Recognize common traps: over-communication, responding to smear campaigns, and letting anxious thoughts dominate. </p><p>-The alienator’s behaviors often stem from their own untreated trauma and disorders. Understanding their patterns can help reduce escalation. </p><p>-Empathetic support from friends and professionals is lifesaving. Your presence and validation matter more than advice. </p><p>-Reconciliation is often possible, but requires patience, boundaries, and unconditional compassion.</p><p>Some questions I ask: </p><p>-“What led you to become a parental alienation coach?”<br>-“Can you describe the phases and signs of pre-alienation?”<br>-“How can parents begin to heal emotionally, even in the worst moments?”<br>-“What are those key triggers that escalate alienator behaviors?”<br>-“How do you help parents differentiate between estrangement and alienation?”<br>-“What practical steps do you recommend during holidays, when pain is most acute?”<br>-“What can family, friends, and community members do to offer meaningful support?”<br>-“Are there resources or therapies that make a real difference for those affected?”</p><p>Learn more about our guest: </p><p>-Follow Charlie McCready on social media @CharlieMcCready1 </p><p>-Website: <a href="http://charliemccready.com/">CharlieMcCready.com</a></p><p>-Contact for coaching: <a href="http://CharlieMcCready.com/coaching/">CharlieMcCready.com/coaching/</a></p><p>Resources list: </p><p>-Books on narcissism and trauma (specific titles not mentioned, but recommended by Charlie McCready) </p><p>-Search for information on EMDR therapy and attachment theory for trauma recovery </p><p>-Parental alienation support communities online</p><p>-Look up “parental alienation coaching” and “attachment theory therapy” for more guidance</p><p>-For statistics and deeper research, explore international parental alienation advocacy groups and relevant legal resources (no specific organizations listed in transcript)</p><p>We are excited to have IT company <a href="https://www.mindiii.com/">https://www.mindiii.com</a> as a podcast sponsor. </p><p>Founded in 2015, MINDIII is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.

        <![CDATA[<p>🎙️ 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.</p><p>🌟 Topics Covered: -What is parental alienation and how does it differ from estrangement? </p><p>-Pre-alienation: warning signs and subtle behaviors </p><p>-The emotional impact on parents (grief, isolation, shame, powerlessness, injustice, anxiety, fear, anger, guilt) </p><p>-Understanding the alienator and children’s coping mechanisms </p><p>-The psychological dynamics of narcissism and trauma </p><p>-How to support children and yourself during periods of alienation </p><p>-Navigating holidays and special occasions while alienated </p><p>-Why community support is crucial and what "help" actually looks like </p><p>-Resources and therapeutic methods for recovery </p><p>-Practical advice for friends, family, and professionals witnessing alienation</p><p>Key takeaways: </p><p>-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. </p><p>-Acceptance and hope are essential tools for healing: accept your present reality without giving up hope for reconnection. </p><p>-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. </p><p>-Recognize common traps: over-communication, responding to smear campaigns, and letting anxious thoughts dominate. </p><p>-The alienator’s behaviors often stem from their own untreated trauma and disorders. Understanding their patterns can help reduce escalation. </p><p>-Empathetic support from friends and professionals is lifesaving. Your presence and validation matter more than advice. </p><p>-Reconciliation is often possible, but requires patience, boundaries, and unconditional compassion.</p><p>Some questions I ask: </p><p>-“What led you to become a parental alienation coach?”<br>-“Can you describe the phases and signs of pre-alienation?”<br>-“How can parents begin to heal emotionally, even in the worst moments?”<br>-“What are those key triggers that escalate alienator behaviors?”<br>-“How do you help parents differentiate between estrangement and alienation?”<br>-“What practical steps do you recommend during holidays, when pain is most acute?”<br>-“What can family, friends, and community members do to offer meaningful support?”<br>-“Are there resources or therapies that make a real difference for those affected?”</p><p>Learn more about our guest: </p><p>-Follow Charlie McCready on social media @CharlieMcCready1 </p><p>-Website: <a href="http://charliemccready.com/">CharlieMcCready.com</a></p><p>-Contact for coaching: <a href="http://CharlieMcCready.com/coaching/">CharlieMcCready.com/coaching/</a></p><p>Resources list: </p><p>-Books on narcissism and trauma (specific titles not mentioned, but recommended by Charlie McCready) </p><p>-Search for information on EMDR therapy and attachment theory for trauma recovery </p><p>-Parental alienation support communities online</p><p>-Look up “parental alienation coaching” and “attachment theory therapy” for more guidance</p><p>-For statistics and deeper research, explore international parental alienation advocacy groups and relevant legal resources (no specific organizations listed in transcript)</p><p>We are excited to have IT company <a href="https://www.mindiii.com/">https://www.mindiii.com</a> as a podcast sponsor. </p><p>Founded in 2015, MINDIII is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.

In this engaging episode, host Mary Meyer sits down with Matthew Noble, founder of The Practical Practitioner, for an in-depth exploration of personalized healthcare, the impact of genetics on health decisions, and the realities of navigating conventional medicine. From perimenopause challenges to the science behind intracellular NAD and trauma-informed wellness, this conversation is packed with actionable advice and eye-opening insights for anyone seeking a holistic and individualized approach to wellbeing.</p><p>🌟 Topics Covered: </p><p>-Why questioning the status quo in healthcare matters </p><p>-Genetic individuality and personalized treatment plans </p><p>-The shortcomings of conventional prescriptions, especially for women </p><p>-MTHFR gene and its implications for hormone regulation and methylation -</p><p>What fasting and autophagy mean for different genetic profiles </p><p>-The impact of environmental toxins, processed foods, and prescription drug culture in the U.S. </p><p>-Practical science behind NAD, NMN, and cellular health </p><p>-Chiropractic care and Matthew Noble’s powerful personal recovery story </p><p>-The connection between trauma, neuroinflammation, and health outcomes</p><p>-Breathwork and box breathing for trauma response</p><p>-Social norming, corporate interests, and critical thinking in wellness</p><p>Key takeaways: </p><p>-Don’t Accept the Status Quo: Be proactive, ask questions, and seek out individual solutions tailored to your body and genetics rather than generic advice or treatments. </p><p>-Genetic Mapping Influences Wellness: Understanding your genetic deviations (such as MTHFR, CYP1A2, FTO genes) can dramatically alter approaches to hormones, nutrition, fasting, and detox. </p><p>-U.S. Drug and Processed Food Culture Is Unique (and Problematic): Americans consume 95% of the world’s prescription drugs and 60% of their calories from junk carbs—a warning to seek healthier, more intentional paths. </p><p>-Intracellular NAD/NMN Is the Next Wave: Matthew Noble shares about proprietary NMN technology that enhances cellular health and even crosses the blood-brain barrier, with implications for anti-aging and inflammation. </p><p>-Trauma Has Profound Effects on Physical Health: Trauma can result in neuroinflammation and affect learning, pain, and overall wellbeing; recognizing and addressing trauma is key to recovery. </p><p>-Misdiagnoses in Medicine Can Be Dangerous: Over-prescribing and missing subtle genetic factors can lead to unnecessary suffering—specific, targeted testing is essential. </p><p>-Breathwork and Box Breathing Are Effective Tools: Simple breathwork patterns help regulate the nervous system and manage trauma responses naturally.</p><p>Some questions I ask: -</p><p>What should women know about hormones, especially during perimenopause?

        <![CDATA[<p>🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this episode, host Mary Meyer sits down with Philip Wilson of Relax Saunas for a deep dive into the science, healing power, and practical benefits of far infrared saunas. If you’ve ever struggled with chronic illness, Lyme disease, environmental toxins, or just want to supercharge your wellness, this episode breaks down the fascinating intersection of quantum physics, frequency-based healing, and accessible self-care. With insights from Philip’s decades-long holistic health journey, you’ll leave inspired and informed about how structured water, infrared light, and simple daily tools can radically boost your health and happiness.</p><p>🌟 Topics Covered: -What makes far infrared saunas unique -The science of structured water and frequency-based healing -Infrared saunas and chronic illness (e.g., Lyme disease) -How saunas detoxify and rejuvenate the body and mind -Practical benefits: portability, ease of use, and cost comparison -The relationship between body, mind, and emotions in healing -EMF (electromagnetic field) protection and wellness -The connection between quantum physics and holistic health</p><p>Key takeaways: </p><p>-The Relax Sauna is unique in delivering 100% far infrared light, which directly vibrates water molecules, mobilizes lymphatics, detoxifies deeply, and supports emotional wellbeing. </p><p>-Far infrared energy is what the human body naturally emits and absorbs; using it in a sauna can profoundly support healing, from physical toxins to emotional release.</p><p>-The Relax Sauna is portable, fast to set up, and requires very little time to preheat—making it more accessible than most traditional wooden saunas. </p><p>-Sauna use is backed by science to raise heart rate variability, activate the parasympathetic nervous system, and bring the body to a “home” state of deep relaxation and joy.</p><p>-EMF is an increasing concern, and far infrared energy (delivered correctly) may offer unique protective and rehabilitative effects. </p><p>-Regular sauna use (daily, if possible) can make measurable improvements in pain, inflammation, mental clarity, mood, and even depression.</p><p>Some questions I ask: </p><p>-Why is only the far infrared range chosen for Relax Saunas and what difference does it make?</p><p>-How do saunas vibrate water molecules, and why is that so vital for healing? </p><p>-What does the term “structured water” mean and how does it affect our health? </p><p>-How do emotions and frequency science play a role in physical healing, especially for chronic conditions like Lyme disease? </p><p>-What makes the Relax Sauna different from other portable or wooden units on the market? -How can far infrared technology help with EMF exposure or damage?</p><p>Learn more about our guest: </p><p>-Website: <a href="https://relaxsaunas.com/">https://relaxsaunas.com</a></p><p>-YouTube Channel: Relax Sauna (Search “Relax Testimonials” for hundreds of real stories) </p><p>-Special HHWW discount: Use code HHWW for $100 off at checkout</p><p>Resources List: </p><p>-Book: Detoxify or Die by Dr. Sherry Rogers (Amazon, or check local/independent booksellers) </p><p>-Book: The Fourth Phase of Water by Dr. Gerald Pollock </p><p>-Research &amp; Testimonials: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/c/RelaxSauna">Relax Sauna YouTube Channel</a></p><p>-Guest Org: <a href="https://natureinspiredtherapies.com/">Nature Inspired Therapies</a> (featured in previous episode and referenced in this one) </p><p>-Studies and frequency science—search PubMed for "far infrared" and "heart rate variability" </p><p>-Cancer/Chronic Illness Conferences: ILADS (International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society)</p><p>We are excited to have IT company <a href="https://www.mindiii.com/">https://www.mindiii.com</a> as a podcast sponsor. </p><p>Founded in 2015, MINDIII is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.

        <![CDATA[<p>🎙️ 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.</p><p>🌟 Topics Covered:<br> -How Healing Hands differs from standard physical therapy clinics <br>-The limitations of insurance-based care <br>-The value of individualized, hands-on treatment <br>-What is craniosacral therapy, and how does it work? -Why "listening to the body" changes the healing process <br>-The science and sensation of Stem Wave therapy <br>-Integrating yoga, nervous system regulation, and holistic practices <br>-Pelvic floor therapy, visceral mobilization, and more<br>-The role of maintenance physical therapy (not just injury care) <br>-The connection between yoga and physical therapy healing</p><p>Key takeaways: <br>-Holistic physical therapy creates deeper, more lasting healing by focusing on the whole body—not just the symptoms. <br>-Insurance-based clinics often force a "rat race", limiting hands-on care and treating symptoms rather than root causes. <br>-Listening to the body—through hands-on intuition, craniosacral therapy, and individualized attention—can reveal surprising sources of pain and unblock stuck energy. <br>-Modern modalities like Stem Wave use sound waves to stimulate cellular healing and can support natural recovery without surgery or drugs. <br>-Maintenance physical therapy can prevent joint replacements, injuries, and improve overall wellbeing—think of it like a "tune-up" for the body. <br>-Yoga principles and nervous system regulation deeply align with holistic physical therapy, offering powerful synergy for healing trauma and chronic pain.</p><p>Some questions I ask:<br> -How is your business model different from traditional physical therapy clinics, and why did you structure it this way? <br>-What are the biggest limitations created by insurance in conventional PT settings? <br>-Can physical therapy help even if you’re not injured? Is it for body maintenance, too? <br>-How do you “listen to the body” and what makes this approach effective for clients? <br>-Can you explain what craniosacral therapy is and how it benefits people? <br>-How does Stem Wave therapy work, and who is it for? <br>-What range of issues can holistic physical therapy and bodywork address? <br>-How do yoga and nervous system regulation play a role in physical therapy?</p><p>Learn more about our guests: <br><strong>Guests: Dr. Jamie Pribyl, </strong>Dawn Cushing<br>-Healing Hands Physical Therapy &amp; Body Work <br>-Website: <a href="https://www.healinghandspt.net/">healinghandspt.net</a> <br>- Call or Text 775-452-4471 <br>Get an appointment: <a href="https://www.healinghandspt.net/">https://www.healinghandspt.net/</a></p><p>9460 Double R Blvd #104 Reno, N 89521</p><p>Call or Text: 775-452-4471</p><p><a href="mailto:admin@healinghandspt.net">Email: admin@healinghandspt.net</a></p><p>Resources list:</p><p>-Stem Wave Pain Relief Device (featured in episode): <a href="https://www.healinghandspt.net/">Learn about Stem Wave</a></p><p>-Craniosacral Therapy information and classes (ask with Healing Hands team) </p><p>-Pelvic Floor Therapy and Visceral Mobilization - available at Healing Hands PT </p><p>-Multi-hands craniosacral sessions &amp; aquatic therapy (ask Healing Hands PT for info) </p><p>-Yoga Classes: inquire with Dawn Cushing or Healing Hands PT </p><p>-Instagram &amp; Facebook: @HealingHandsPTandBodyWork<br>- Youtube: @HealingHandsPhysicalTherapy </p><p>Whether you’re recovering from injury, seeking pain relief, or interested in proactive body wellness, this episode is an essential listen for anyone seeking the next level of holistic health.

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.</p><p>🌟 Topics Covered:<br> -How Healing Hands differs from standard physical therapy clinics <br>-The limitations of insurance-based care <br>-The value of individualized, hands-on treatment <br>-What is craniosacral therapy, and how does it work? -Why "listening to the body" changes the healing process <br>-The science and sensation of Stem Wave therapy <br>-Integrating yoga, nervous system regulation, and holistic practices <br>-Pelvic floor therapy, visceral mobilization, and more<br>-The role of maintenance physical therapy (not just injury care) <br>-The connection between yoga and physical therapy healing</p><p>Key takeaways: <br>-Holistic physical therapy creates deeper, more lasting healing by focusing on the whole body—not just the symptoms. <br>-Insurance-based clinics often force a "rat race", limiting hands-on care and treating symptoms rather than root causes. <br>-Listening to the body—through hands-on intuition, craniosacral therapy, and individualized attention—can reveal surprising sources of pain and unblock stuck energy. <br>-Modern modalities like Stem Wave use sound waves to stimulate cellular healing and can support natural recovery without surgery or drugs. <br>-Maintenance physical therapy can prevent joint replacements, injuries, and improve overall wellbeing—think of it like a "tune-up" for the body. <br>-Yoga principles and nervous system regulation deeply align with holistic physical therapy, offering powerful synergy for healing trauma and chronic pain.</p><p>Some questions I ask:<br> -How is your business model different from traditional physical therapy clinics, and why did you structure it this way? <br>-What are the biggest limitations created by insurance in conventional PT settings? <br>-Can physical therapy help even if you’re not injured? Is it for body maintenance, too? <br>-How do you “listen to the body” and what makes this approach effective for clients? <br>-Can you explain what craniosacral therapy is and how it benefits people? <br>-How does Stem Wave therapy work, and who is it for? <br>-What range of issues can holistic physical therapy and bodywork address? <br>-How do yoga and nervous system regulation play a role in physical therapy?</p><p>Learn more about our guests: <br><strong>Guests: Dr. Jamie Pribyl, </strong>Dawn Cushing<br>-Healing Hands Physical Therapy &amp; Body Work <br>-Website: <a href="https://www.healinghandspt.net/">healinghandspt.net</a> <br>- Call or Text 775-452-4471 <br>Get an appointment: <a href="https://www.healinghandspt.net/">https://www.healinghandspt.net/</a></p><p>9460 Double R Blvd #104 Reno, N 89521</p><p>Call or Text: 775-452-4471</p><p><a href="mailto:admin@healinghandspt.net">Email: admin@healinghandspt.net</a></p><p>Resources list:</p><p>-Stem Wave Pain Relief Device (featured in episode): <a href="https://www.healinghandspt.net/">Learn about Stem Wave</a></p><p>-Craniosacral Therapy information and classes (ask with Healing Hands team) </p><p>-Pelvic Floor Therapy and Visceral Mobilization - available at Healing Hands PT </p><p>-Multi-hands craniosacral sessions &amp; aquatic therapy (ask Healing Hands PT for info) </p><p>-Yoga Classes: inquire with Dawn Cushing or Healing Hands PT </p><p>-Instagram &amp; Facebook: @HealingHandsPTandBodyWork<br>- Youtube: @HealingHandsPhysicalTherapy </p><p>Whether you’re recovering from injury, seeking pain relief, or interested in proactive body wellness, this episode is an essential listen for anyone seeking the next level of holistic health.

        <![CDATA[<p>🎙️ Welcome to Healthy, Happy, Wise, Wealthy (HHWW)! In this insightful episode, host Mary Meyer is joined by Brittany Heyden (Functional Medicine Nurse Practitioner, “Vitality Queen”) and Kara Stoltenberg (Author, Emotional Healing &amp; Detox Expert) for Part 2 of a deep and practical conversation on detox, emotional healing, and cultivating true vitality.

        <![CDATA[<p>🎙️ 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!</p><p>🌱 Topics Covered: <br>-What is “detox”? Myths vs. science <br>-Physical and emotional roots of chronic illness <br>-The Brittany &amp; Kara Collaboration: Integrating emotional and physical healing <br>-The role of the nervous system and stress in health <br>-Signs your detox pathways are blocked <br>-How to safely and effectively support lymphatic drainage, liver health, and more <br>-Practical, affordable at-home detox methods (like rebounding, vibration plates, castor oil packs) <br>-Why understanding your labs and health history is critical -Unique female health challenges (hormonal imbalance, perimenopause, functional freeze) <br>-Day-to-day tools for nervous system regulation and real rest</p><p>Key takeaways: <br>-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. <br>-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. <br>-Support Your Pathways First: The basics matter—daily bowel movements, sweating, adequate hydration, and gentle lymphatic movement are foundational to successful detox. <br>-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! <br>-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.</p><p>Some questions I ask: <br>-If someone comes to you and says, “I don’t feel good, should I detox?”—what’s your first step? <br>-Can you explain what detox pathways are, and why they matter? <br>-How do you approach clients who are pushing through chronic illness without realizing how sick they are? <br>-What practical tips do you recommend for supporting lymphatic drainage and liver health, especially at home? <br>-Why is it so crucial to consider both emotional and physical components in healing?</p><p>Learn more about our guests: <br>-Find Brittany Heyden NP and Kara Stoltenberg on Facebook and Instagram: @karastoltenberg and @brittany.heyden </p><p>For collaborations, coaching, and more about their programs, go to their website: <a href="http://karastoltenberg.com/">karastoltenberg.com</a> and <a href="http://brittanyheyden.com">brittanyheyden.com</a></p><p>Resources mentioned: <br>-Therasage Sauna: <a href="https://therasage.com/">https://therasage.com</a> <br>-Redmond Real Salt: <a href="https://redmond.life/">https://redmond.life</a> <br>-Queen of Thrones Castor Oil Packs: <a href="https://shopqueenofthethrones.com/">https://shopqueenofthethrones.com</a> <br>-Rebounding Trampoline &amp; Vibration Plates (available on Amazon and wellness shops) <br>-Dandelion Root Tea, Milk Thistle, Bitters: Available in most health stores and online <br>-Castor Oil (organic, cold-pressed, in glass) <br>-For additional reading: Ayurveda and nervous system regulation practices; functional medicine texts-Check YouTube for demonstrations: “Lymphatic drainage massage,” “Dry brushing for lymphatics” </p><p>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. 🌱</p><p>We are excited to have IT company <a href="https://www.mindiii.com/">https://www.mindiii.com</a> as a podcast sponsor. </p><p>Founded in 2015, MINDIII is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.

        <![CDATA[<p>🎙️ 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.

        <![CDATA[<p>🎙️ Welcome to Healthy Happy Wise Wealthy (HHWW)! In this dynamic episode, host Mary Meyer brings together an inspiring panel of Reno's entrepreneurship leaders—including Doug Erwin, Candi Block, Monica Terrero, Daniel Smith, Melissa Saavedra, and Allison Greene—to give you an insider’s look at Reno Startup Week. Whether you’re an aspiring founder, a seasoned entrepreneur, or just startup-curious, this episode unpacks how a free, week-long event can help launch, grow, and nourish local small businesses and innovation, and why removing cost barriers for entrepreneurs is so vital. Get ready for takeaways on networking, pitch competitions, government support, community organizations, wellness initiatives, and much more, straight from the passionate volunteers and ecosystem builders making it happen.</p><p>🌟 Topics Covered:<br> -What is Reno Startup Week and who is it for? <br>-The power of keeping entrepreneurial resources free <br>-How government and nonprofits collaborate to support founders <br>-Pitch competition: structure, prizes, and founder stories -Breakout sessions on funding, scale, tech, retail, and AI <br>-Resource fairs for the Latino community and all small businesses <br>-Health &amp; wellness activities for founders (meditation, yoga, more) <br>-Networking and making real connections in Reno’s startup scene <br>-Closing celebrations and the role of arts, music, and fun</p><p>Key Takeaways: <br>-Reno Startup Week is intentionally free, maximizing accessibility for all—regardless of financial means or background. <br>-Startup resources and networking should be open to the full spectrum of entrepreneurs, from tech innovators to brick-and-mortar business owners, across all demographics. <br>-Government collaboration (via Nevada’s Governor’s Office of Economic Development) is critical for removing barriers, providing resources, and making real, systemic change for small businesses. <br>-Pitch competitions and resource fairs empower founders to share ideas, gain exposure, and tap into vital networks. <br>-Wellness and personal growth are just as important for entrepreneurial success as strategic know-how. <br>-Networking is built into every layer of the week, from casual coffee to structured sessions and inclusive celebrations. <br>-AI and current tech trends are not just for “techies”—established local businesses will find actionable tools and education. <br>-Reno Startup Week is a living example of how community, public support, and open access create fertile ground for entrepreneurship.</p><p>Some Questions I Ask: <br>-Why is it so important for Reno Startup Week to be free, and what impact does that have for would-be entrepreneurs? <br>-How does government involvement (via GoED) directly help remove barriers to business creation and growth? <br>-What is the value of the pitch competition for new founders—and what can participants (and even audience members) expect to gain? <br>-How are specific groups (like the Latino business community) being included and supported during Startup Week? <br>-What kinds of breakout sessions and topics can attendees expect—and how have AI and current trends shaped this year’s content? <br>-How is wellness integrated into Startup Week, and why does founder mental health matter?<br> -What is EDAWN’s role in building the Reno entrepreneurial ecosystem? <br>-For out-of-town listeners: how can people get involved, travel in, or find similar support in their regions?</p><p>Learn More About Our Guests: (Douglas Erwin, Candi Block, Monica

        <![CDATA[<p>🎙️ 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.</p><p>🌟 Topics Covered: <br>-Dr. Davena Longshore’s background in correctional psychology and trauma -<br>The origins and mission of the Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health <br>-Wellness and mental health programs for law enforcement <br>-The intersection of race, bias, and policing in America <br>-Personal trauma and its impact on work in corrections and policing <br>-Challenges and resistance to implementing mental health programs for police <br>-Understanding the role of implicit bias and schemas in human behavior <br>-Community-driven solutions to law enforcement and public trust<br> -Best practices for bridging divides and creating officer/community wellness programs</p><p>Key Takeaways: <br>-Empathy and trauma-informed care are essential in high-stress professions like corrections and policing, but they come with significant personal cost. <br>-Acknowledging and addressing historical and systemic biases is crucial for real reform in law enforcement practices. <br>-Programs aimed at officer wellness must also address masculinity norms, depression, PTSD, and substance use among officers—and should come from inside communities themselves. <br>-Entrenching oneself in the lived experience of “the other”—whether that’s law enforcement or marginalized groups—can break down bias and foster understanding. <br>-Positive, community-based policing—where officers become true members of the community—reduces crime, enhances trust, and creates real human connections.</p><p>Some Questions I Ask: <br>-Can you share about the Cummings Foundation’s origins and mission in behavioral health? <br>-What was it like working in a level four double-max security facility, and how did it shape your empathy and understanding of trauma? <br>-How does trauma impact the personalities and home lives of corrections staff and law enforcement? <br>-What are the systemic barriers to officer wellness, and how are your programs confronting resistance from police forces and communities?<br> -How can people recognize and address their implicit biases—both inside and outside of law enforcement settings? <br>-What are some real-world examples where community policing and wellness programs have made a measurable difference? <br>-For listeners who want to bring these programs to their own communities, where should they start?</p><p>Learn More About Our Guest: -Connect/Get Support/Collaborate: Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health – <a href="https://cummingscfbh.org/">https://cummingscfbh.org</a> -Contact: info@cummingscfbh.org (general inquiry – see website)</p><p>Resources List: <br>-Cummings Foundation for Behavioral Health: <a href="https://cummingscfbh.org/">https://cummingscfbh.org</a> <br>-Harvard Implicit Bias Tests: <a href="https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/">https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/</a> (for testing your own biases) <br>-American Psychological Association: <a href="https://www.apa.org/">https://www.apa.org/</a> <br>-American Academy of Clinical Psychology: <a href="https://www.aacpsy.org/">https://www.aacpsy.org/</a> <br>-Society for Criminal and Police Psychology: <a href="https://www.scpdchiefs.org/">https://www.scpdchiefs.org/</a> <br>-Community Policing Resources (examples mentioned): [General reference, check your local community policing programs]</p><p>If you’d like to bring law enforcement wellness programs to your area, or to support community healing, visit <a href="https://cummingscfbh.org/">https://cummingscfbh.org</a> or email the foundation for more information.</p><p>We are excited to have IT company <a href="https://www.mindiii.com/">https://www.mindiii.com</a> as a podcast sponsor. </p><p>Founded in 2015, MINDIII is a Product Development and Data + AI Company that builds scalable digital products and intelligent data platforms.
