From Trauma to Triumph: Rewriting Your Story with Nick Prefontaine

Jeanne Foot — Wed, 13 May 2026 04:00:00 -0400

In this deeply moving and powerful episode of Naturally High, Jeanne sits down with Nick Prefontaine—top motivational speaker (Yahoo Finance, 2022), real estate investor, and brain injury survivor—for a conversation that bridges physical trauma, emotional resilience, and the human capacity to defy all odds.

At just 14 years old, Nick suffered a life-threatening snowboarding accident that left him in a coma, with doctors predicting he would never walk, talk, or eat independently again. What followed was nothing short of extraordinary. Through unwavering belief, the power of support, and a mindset rooted in possibility, Nick not only recovered, but ran out of the hospital.

Together, Jeanne and Nick explore the parallels between physical trauma and emotional healing, and how our greatest challenges (whether mental, emotional, or physical) can become the very curriculum that shapes our highest potential. This episode is a testament to the power of belief, the importance of support, and the transformative nature of adversity.

If you’ve ever questioned what’s possible for your life, this conversation will expand your perspective and remind you that healing, growth, and transformation are always within reach.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

Nick’s life-altering snowboarding accident and the moments that changed everything
The critical role of belief, mindset, and vision in recovery
Why support doesn’t have to come from family, and where to find it instead
The powerful influence of Nick’s mother and her refusal to accept limitations
The STEP system: Support, Trust, Energy, and Persistence (and how it applies to any setback)
How physical trauma mirrors emotional and psychological healing journeys
The importance of having a vision for your futurem even before evidence exists
Why chasing “perfection” can actually lead to excellence and freedom
How to stay grounded and focused during long, uncertain recovery processes
Turning adversity into purpose, meaning, and impact

The Power of the Pause: Mastering Your Emotional Triggers

Jeanne Foot — Wed, 29 Apr 2026 04:00:00 -0400

In this powerful solo episode of Naturally High, Jeanne Foot explores one of the most overlooked yet essential aspects of healing and personal growth: emotional sobriety.

While many people focus on abstinence or surface-level behaviour change, Jeanne invites listeners to go deeper—into the emotional patterns, triggers, and subconscious conditioning that continue to shape our lives long after we’ve “stopped the behaviour.”

Whether you’re in recovery, navigating stress, or simply feeling stuck in reactive patterns, this episode offers a new lens: real freedom comes not from controlling your environment, but from learning how to regulate your inner world.

Jeanne breaks down the concept of emotional sobriety as originally introduced in 12-step philosophy, and expands it into a modern, practical framework for emotional resilience, nervous system regulation, and long-term fulfillment.

You’ll learn why many people plateau after initial progress, how unresolved emotional patterns keep us stuck, and most importantly, how to access your power through something deceptively simple: the pause.

This episode is an invitation to move beyond survival mode and into a life of clarity, alignment, and true emotional freedom.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

What emotional sobriety really means (and why abstinence isn’t the end goal)
Why we still feel stuck—even after making “positive changes”
How trauma and early experiences can arrest emotional development
The difference between reacting and responding (and why it matters)
The role of neuroplasticity in building new emotional patterns
Why we become “hijacked” by our emotional triggers
The concept of the sacred pause and how it gives you your power back
How to stop outsourcing your emotional state to people, places, and circumstances
The truth about the “pink cloud” phase and why things can feel flat after
Acceptance vs. control: why fighting reality creates more suffering
The Serenity Prayer as a practical framework for emotional regulation
How to navigate life’s inevitable challenges without numbing or escaping
Why emotional sobriety is the foundation for lasting recovery, strong relationships, and fulfillment
How to redesign your life so it supports your growth instead of sabotaging it

Josh shares his refreshing, hope-filled approach to relationships, reminding us that people are more than their pain, their trauma, or their patterns. He explains why communication alone is not the answer, how authenticity changes the quality of our relationships, and why healing begins when we learn to see ourselves and others more fully.

Why relationships often get stuck in content instead of context
Why communication is a magnifier, not the foundation of connection

Step Inside Your Future Self and Embody the Vision that You Actually Want (Mini-Series Episode 5)

Jeanne Foot — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 04:00:00 -0400

In the final installment of the Recovery Return on Investment mini-series, Jeanne Foot brings the series home with a powerful invitation: stop building your future from your past.

So many people want change, but try to create it while staring into the rearview mirror, trapped by old identities, old consequences, and old stories about what’s “realistic.” Jeanne reframes this completely: your past may be what happened, but it does not get to decide who you become next.

This episode is about stepping into your future self now, not as an abstract concept, but as a daily practice of identity, standards, embodiment, and decision-making. Jeanne walks you through what it means to become conscious of how you operate: how you spend your time, where you place your energy, what you tolerate, what you say yes to, and what you finally stop negotiating with.

In this episode, you’ll hear about:

Why most people unconsciously create their future from their past
How to stop defining your identity by old patterns, consequences, or history
What it really means to “be your future self now”
The difference between knowing what to do and experiencing what works
Why fear and overthinking keep people stuck and how to move anyway
The habits, standards, and boundaries that shape the life you want
Why your nervous system must be regulated for clarity and wisdom to emerge
How to focus on what you want (not what you don’t want) to change outcomes
A guided visualization to embody your vision and anchor it into the body
Taking 100% responsibility for your results without shame or judgment
How community and consistent practice accelerate transformation

Strengthen Your Recovery Capital Through Nervous System Regulation (Mini-Series Episode 4)

Jeanne Foot — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 04:00:00 -0500

In Episode Four of the Recovery Return on Investment series, Jeanne Foot explores one of the most overlooked, yet essential foundations of sustainable recovery and personal growth: nervous system regulation.

In a world that keeps us overstimulated, rushed, and disconnected from ourselves, many of us are operating in a chronic state of dysregulation without even realizing it. Jeanne breaks down why dysregulation quietly undermines clarity, decision-making, emotional resilience, and long-term wellbeing, and how learning to regulate your nervous system strengthens recovery capital in every area of life.

This episode invites you to slow down, get curious, and reconnect with the innate wisdom of your body. Jeanne explains why willpower and “thinking your way out” of challenges doesn’t work when the nervous system is hijacked, and how emotional wellness, somatic awareness, and daily practices create a powerful reserve you can draw from when life gets hard.

In this episode, you’ll explore:

What nervous system regulation actually is and why most of us are dysregulated
How chronic stress and emotional overload impact judgment, health, and recovery
The connection between trauma, the body, and subconscious survival responses
Why intuition becomes inaccessible when we’re in fight, flight, or freeze
The concept of your “window of tolerance” and how to return to center
How unresolved stress becomes dis-ease in the body over time
Why self-care is not indulgent; it’s mandatory
The power of daily practices in building recovery and health capital
Simple tools for grounding, self-regulation, and emotional awareness
How listening to your body strengthens resilience, clarity, and inner wisdom

From self-sabotage and negative self-talk to inherited beliefs and subconscious programming, this episode explores why lasting change doesn’t come from willpower alone, but from awareness, compassion, and responsibility.

This episode is about learning to become a compassionate witness to your own inner world, separating fact from fiction, and reclaiming agency over your future. Jeanne invites listeners to slow down and examine the stories they tell themselves, many of which were formed early in life and are still running on autopilot. If you’ve ever felt blocked, overwhelmed, or held back by fear, shame, or self-doubt, this conversation offers a powerful framework for moving forward with clarity and self-trust.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

In the second part of the Return on Investment mini-series, Jeanne Foot continues the Return on Investment (ROI) series with a powerful exploration of how lasting change really happens. Moving beyond willpower and surface-level behaviour change, Jeanne dives deep into the subconscious mind, emotional drivers, and the neuroscience behind self-limiting beliefs.

Jeanne explains how our earliest conditioning shapes the way we see ourselves, relate to others, and make decisions, often without us realizing it. Through practical examples and relatable storytelling, she shows how awareness, responsibility, and emotional regulation are essential to creating sustainable transformation in recovery and in life.

This episode invites listeners to become curious about their inner programming, challenge long-held beliefs, and reclaim personal agency. By understanding how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact, we can move from surviving to truly thriving with more freedom, joy, and fulfillment.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How to Raise Your Standards and Take a Stand for the Future (Mini-Series Episode 1)

Jeanne Foot — Wed, 21 Jan 2026 04:00:00 -0500

In this five-part Naturally High mini-series, Jeanne Foot invites you to take an honest look at the standards you’re living by, and whether they’re truly aligned with the life you want to create.

Raising your standards isn’t about perfection, discipline, or willpower. It’s about understanding how your mind, nervous system, and subconscious programming quietly run your life. Even more importantly, it’s about learning how to stop defaulting to old patterns that keep you stuck in mediocrity, burnout, or self-betrayal.

In Episode One of the mini-series, Jeanne reframes sobriety and recovery as hidden assets. These create a form of recovery capital that, when invested intentionally, can yield extraordinary returns in every area of life. She explores why deciding you want something different isn’t enough, why fear never actually goes away, and how meaningful change requires action in spite of discomfort.

If you’ve ever felt like you know what you should do but can’t seem to follow through, this episode is your starting point.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

How subconscious programming and early adaptations quietly shape adult behaviour
Why fear, resistance, and self-doubt are part of growth, not signs you’re failing
The difference between deciding you want change and acting on it
How accountability and deliberate action create long-term momentum
Why short-term discomfort is often the price of long-term freedom
How to stop negotiating with your excuses and start honouring your future

Jeanne shares the raw and real story behind her recent retreat with Lisa, a journey that unexpectedly prepared her to navigate two major life events within 48 hours of returning home.

Nutrition's Role in Addiction Recovery with Kelly Miller

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 17 Aug 2023 05:00:00 -0400

Today we're diving into the world of nutrition, particularly as it relates to addiction. Our guest, Kelly Miller, a certified addiction counselor and holistic health practitioner, guides us through the intricate relationship between nutrition, holistic health, and overcoming addiction.

Kelly's journey began with an exploration of how nutrition directly impacts both body and mind. Through research, she uncovered the profound connection between nutrition and substance abuse recovery. As the brain adjusts to a life of abstinence, similar to its adaptation during addiction, Kelly reveals how vital amino acids like tryptophan play in enhancing mood and contentment.

We delve into dietary patterns common among those in recovery, such as skipping breakfast, and the significance of starting the day with protein-rich meals. Many in recovery find themselves living on stress hormones, but this can be managed with simple shifts in diet, leading to improved focus and groundedness. The conversation turns towards the gut-brain link, where Kelly explains the essential role of Omega-3 fatty acids in curbing cravings and promoting mental well-being.

There are parallels between food addiction and substance abuse—both rooted in emotional attachments, often originating from past traumas. Understanding the neurobiological aspects of food addiction sheds light on our power to influence brain chemistry and health. We discuss the gaps in conventional recovery models that neglect the crucial nutritional aspect and Kelly's insights inspire us to embrace a holistic approach. Even small changes can lead to remarkable results!

What you'll hear in this episode:

[2:05] How nutrition impacts our bodies and minds.

[7:20] How do vegetarians and vegans adapt to veganism?

[10:30] The importance of protein in the morning.

Empowerment through Grace: Paul Noiles' Insights on Identity, Suffering, and Evolution

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 10 Aug 2023 05:00:00 -0400

I am thrilled to have the incredible Paul Noiles join me for an inspiring conversation. Paul's journey is one of profound awakening and continuous growth. He shares his remarkable path of self-discovery, emphasizing that awakening isn't just a single pivotal moment, but an ongoing process that leads us closer and closer to our true essence.

Join us to explore the concepts of attachment and identity as Paul recounts a major epiphany that shattered his ego's confines, ushering in a magical transformation. He believes that suffering can be a source of grace, unveiling profound insights and personal growth. As he wrote his book, Paul realized that every human being carries a mistaken identity, and addictions and depression can exacerbate this illusion.

We explore the theme of awakening consciousness and the power of self-inquiry through daily practices of meditation, prayer, and gratitude, which have guided Paul towards grace and consciousness. He emphasizes the importance of understanding the truth of things, tuning into the wisdom of the body, and navigating the ego's pitfalls.

Paul's insight into addiction as a response to pain, and his emphasis on embracing pain as a part of our humanity, resonates deeply. He sheds light on the significance of the first seven years of trauma and the role of mentorship in healing. He also shares his advice for practicing self-compassion and overcoming struggles in recovery. We delve into compassionate inquiry and the Dalai Lama's teachings on compassion as a universal language. Let's explore the depths of awakening, compassion, and transformation together. Remember, every step on this path is a step closer to your true self.

What you'll hear in this episode:

[2:05] The single catalyst to awakening.

[6:05] What do you want to do before you go?

[11:40] No one is coming to save me but myself.

[17:15] Self-inquiry.

[21:00] Learning to tune into the innate wisdom of the body.

[27:00] The power of mentorship.

[33:00] Compassion.

[38:00] The one consciousness is always evolving.

[43:05] Paul’s journey to becoming a speaker.

[47:45] The last time he was arrested in Toronto.

Discovering Your Healing Potential with Elias Abdel Ahad

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 03 Aug 2023 05:00:00 -0400

In today's episode, I sit down with the brilliant Elias Abdel Ahad to dive into the depths of healing and growth. We'll uncover the secrets of understanding our body's needs beyond psychotherapy and manual therapy.

Elias starts by shedding light on the importance of integrating all the components of the human body. He explains how the intricacies of the ego connect to our physical body and how our upbringing plays a significant role in who we are today. We then explore various vagus nerve exercises, including ones involving the heart and phrenic nerve, to calm the nervous system and reconnect our thought process to a rhythmic flow.

We delve into the powerful integration of the gut and brain. Elias enlightens us on the gut's role in producing serotonin and the importance of being mindful of our eating habits to maintain our health and wellbeing. Depression can stem from imbalances but we have tips for taking agency for our own health and well-being.

From there, we dive into the necessity of changing the model of health, including conscious parenting and healing. Healing is not about removing trauma but learning to deal with it flexibly. The journey toward change requires awareness and willingness. This conversation is a gentle reminder of the power of understanding ourselves from within.

Essential Principles for Your Healing Journey

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 27 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0400

We're exploring the foundational building blocks for a powerful recovery program that goes beyond just letting go of drugs and alcohol. Understanding the importance of emotional regulation and facing inner struggles like depression and trauma is essential for genuine healing and growth.

Checking our ego at the door and addressing shame from substance abuse are vital steps in the recovery process. We discuss the concept of "knowing thyself to be true," breaking free from external influences and taking responsibility for our actions.

Through a spiritual curriculum, we create new neural pathways, defying the drinking culture's pressure. Recovery isn't solely about abstinence; it's about growth and functioning. We also discuss the significance of embracing our intuition and learning to live with emotional pain and grief in a transformative way.

Accepting what is and moving forward without attempting to bend reality is essential for a fulfilling life. Let's empower ourselves to embrace a naturally high state of being and find inner peace. Tune in and discover the keys to a fulfilling recovery journey.

[1:45] The importance of emotional regulation.

Unlocking the Secrets of the Nervous System and Reconnecting Within

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 20 Jul 2023 05:00:00 -0400

In this fast-paced world, it's important we pause and take the time to reflect on who we are and what truly nourishes our souls. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Holistic health recognizes that each individual has unique requirements and that healing should be tailored accordingly. That's why somatic therapies, once considered alternative, are now gaining mainstream recognition. They address not only the physical aspects of our well-being but the emotional and energetic dimensions, allowing for a comprehensive healing experience.

Often, we seek solutions by focusing solely on the surface symptoms, but getting to the root cause is paramount. However, it's important to acknowledge that we can't always start there. Our innate desire for safety drives us to detect threats, whether real or perceived. Chronic trauma and stress can shape us and inadvertently hinder us from receiving the beautiful gifts that relationships and connection offer.

What if the very armor you've built to protect yourself from harm prevents you from embracing love, joy, and deep connections? I invite you to join me as we embark on a journey of vulnerability and discover the power of taking off our armor with co-regulation. Co-regulation becomes the first step towards self-regulation, allowing us to cultivate healthier relationships and create harmonious connections with the world around us.

As we explore these transformative ideas, I invite you to take a moment to reflect on your journey of self-discovery. By investing time and energy into understanding ourselves, we open the door to a life filled with purpose, fulfillment, and abundance.

What you'll hear in this episode:

[1:20] We need to know who we are and what we really need.

[3:55] Why are we talking about this today?

[5:35] The importance of getting to the root of the problem.

[6:55] The detection of a threat or a perceived threat.

[8:40] What happens when your adaptive mechanisms become the very thing that prevents you from receiving all the wonderful things that relationships and connection can offer?

[10:35] How do we get healthy co-regulation?

[12:20] The first step to self-regulation is to be co-regulation.

Trying New Approaches to Achieve Your Goals

Jeanne Foot, CCAC, ICADC. — Thu, 06 Apr 2023 05:00:00 -0400

I truly believe that you have the power to create the life you desire, and it all starts with shifting your perspective. It's time to take a closer look at ourselves and recognize the truth about our capabilities. We all have unique talents and strengths that can help us achieve our dreams but sometimes, we fall into a pattern of negative self-talk that prevents us from recognizing our potential.

To break out of this cycle, I encourage you to cultivate a holistic approach to your life. This means focusing on your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. By taking care of yourself in all aspects, you'll build the resilience and confidence needed to overcome external obstacles.

I also believe that a strong support system is essential to success. Surround yourself with people who uplift and encourage you. And don't be afraid to share your truest feelings and thoughts with them, as vulnerability can be a catalyst for growth.

Remember, you are your own best experiment. Don't be afraid to try new things and explore different approaches. With an open mind and a willingness to learn, you can achieve anything you set your mind to.

What you'll hear in this episode:

[1:50] Who we are, how we see ourselves, and how we relate to ourselves is who we become.

[5:00] What it requires for you to become what you want to be.

[8:55] What I want to change right now.

[12:30] The reason we get more of the same bad outcomes.

[15:10] Challenge for listeners: Be your own science experiment.

Breaking free from the trap of 'New Beginnings': Mindful Strategies for Positive Change

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 02 Feb 2023 05:00:00 -0500

We sometimes get caught up in the thrill of a fresh beginning and establish objectives for ourselves without fully comprehending the intent behind them. This can cause emotions of resistance and difficulties in reaching our goals.

It's vital to remember, though, that meaningful transformation begins with being conscious and deliberate in our decisions. We can teach our thoughts to seek peace and tranquility in our daily lives by being clear on our non-negotiables and focusing on what actually offers us satisfaction and contentment.

It's also critical to be conscious of any harmful habits or addictions that may be holding us back, such as binge drinking or drugging, or spending too much time on social media and the internet. We may achieve balance and inner calm by recognizing and correcting these harmful tendencies.

In this episode, we'll talk about practical ways for getting beyond resistance and making great changes in your life. Remember that genuine well-being includes not just physical health, but also mental and emotional well-being. So, come along with us on this path of self-discovery and constructing a life that is true to your ideals and provides you with real joy.

Living With Anxiety Can Be the Catalyst for Change

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 03 Nov 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Our guest today is Samantha Perkins, author of Alive AF where she shares her journey to becoming alcohol-free. Samantha was one year alcohol-free and was very nervous to share because she was afraid of being judged. What happened once she did share was a ton of private responses from mothers and other women that she knew who were telling her that they had had some of the same experiences and struggles and that they too wanted to stop drinking, wondering how she did it. She was so shocked by this that she really wanted to tell more of her story and write about it because she felt like other people could connect to the story and that it might help them along their journey in some way. We will discuss Samantha's experiences with alcohol, her experiences being alcohol-free, her reasoning behind writing her book, and many more thoughts about her psychological improvements without alcohol.

Bringing Compassion and Understanding into Menopause with Candy Wright

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 06 Oct 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Menopause is a natural transition, yet we often suffer in silence because our culture dismisses our symptoms and doesn't hold the space for us to get the support we need. Candy Wright recognized this problem and is doing something about it.

Candy is a certified Life Coach, Menopause Doula, SafeSpace™ Trauma Healing Facilitator, Licensed Partnership & Emotional Healing Coach, and Public Speaker. In her 6-month program, she specializes in helping high-achieving, emotionally savvy, spiritual, perfectionist women over 50:

Help heal chronic dieting mentality and trauma.
Heal the root cause of emotional eating, food, body, weight, and body image challenges.
Create compassionate, empowered partnerships with food, their bodies, and the inner critic.
Resolve midlife stress and emotional eating with ease and compassion.
Help women then use the energy once spent on food and body challenges to live their dreams and divine joy and work in the world.

Invoke the Healer within to Take a More Active Role in Your Own Wellbeing

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 29 Sep 2022 05:00:00 -0400

There's a misconception about the amount of agency we have over our own wellbeing. Yes, there are times that we need professionals to help us and there are times that we need conventional medicine, but we need to take a more active role in our own wellbeing and healing because there's so much that we can do for ourselves. The problem is that this is not typically expected or communicated to us. This is something that I am very passionate about and want to encourage more people to invoke the healer within themselves.

Finding joy in the midst of grief and pain with Susan Kendal

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 15 Sep 2022 05:00:00 -0400

We are a death-illiterate society. We squirm and avoid talking about death at all costs. And the costs, both emotional and mental, are tremendous. My dear friend, Susan Kendal, is passionate about shattering the taboo surrounding death and speaking up about the effects of grief within society. On this episode she shares her story and urges everyone to join the conversation about death and grief so that we can stand with and support each other when we inevitably find ourselves affected by it.

Consumerism Has Given Us More than Ever, but at What Cost?

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 08 Sep 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Some of us have a deep yearning for something more meaningful than material success. We know that having it "all" is a recipe for disaster and doesn't necessarily bring happiness. But we live in an age of consumerism where it is typically accepted that the more we obtain, the better our life should be.

The Power of Integration - We find ourselves in the being not doing

We can pick up a book or take a course to learn anything we want. But it does not matter how excited we are to learn new information, if we don't integrate what we're learning, it doesn't benefit us.

Exploring the Power of Scalar Energy with Tom Paladino

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 25 Aug 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Tom Paladino is a scalar energy researcher based in Florida. Scalar energy is the fundamental life force found everywhere in our world, space, and universe as it originates from the sun and stars. Chi, prana, OM, mana, life force, pyramid energy, and zero-point energy are synonymous terms for scalar energy.

Using his specialized instruments along with photographs that are sent to him, Tom is able to balance and correct people's chakras using scalar energy. My fascination with this topic is evident as Tom shares the benefits of scalar energy and how he utilizes it.

It's time to raise our standards and start with Integral Leadership

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 18 Aug 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Trauma-centric embodied leadership means we have to be trauma-centric. We have to be able to recognize and know when trauma shows up and what it looks like when it does so that we don't do any further harm. We need people who understand this and understand embodiment to step up and be leaders in the space, to say what is okay and not okay in terms of their own ethics and integrity. And we need to hold space for these leaders by having a container to support them with integrity.

Recognizing cycles that need to be broken in men's mental health

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 21 Jul 2022 05:00:00 -0400

On this episode I talk about something that is rarely discussed, men's mental health. June is Men's Mental Health Month, and it's interesting to me that it is so poorly publicized. Men have historically been conditioned to be detached from their emotions, more so than women, and to just keep calm and carry on no matter what is going on around them. It is often viewed as a sign of weakness or inadequacy for men to show or express their emotions, and this is a danger for our men that we need to acknowledge.

What does the art of surrender really offer?

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 07 Jul 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Some things, such as achieving our goals, are within our control. But sometimes we cannot change our life circumstances. Sometimes the only thing we can do is accept and surrender to what is. In this episode, I talk about what people naturally do to feel better when the only option is to surrender.

Holding steadfast in adversity

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 30 Jun 2022 05:00:00 -0400

How do we remain steadfast when life is super challenging?

This is something that I have had personal experience with over the past couple of weeks. While it feels a little strange to talk about heavy things on Naturally High, I feel like it is an important topic to talk about. Because even though I believe there is always a silver lining in life, sometimes we are not able to see it until we are on the other side of our situation. My hope is that this episode will show how debilitating some life events can be for us and what we can do to get through them when they happen.

Why we need to treat the cause instead of the symptoms with John Giordano

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 23 Jun 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing an incredibly special man, Mr. John Giordano.

John has gone through incredible life transformation, from the stigma of childhood sexual abuse, homelessness, and severe addiction, to being a renowned addiction expert with 36 years of sobriety. He started his own holistic treatment center with only $300 which he eventually sold for $45,000,000. Currently he is a published author of 3 books, a program consultant for South Beach Detox, and the Chaplain for the North Miami Police Department. His specialty is holistic mental health and trauma recovery.

John has appeared on many national and local television and radio shows as a respected addiction expert. He has also contributed to over 79 scientific peer-reviewed research papers. Research Gate ranks him as one of the top researchers in the world.

I'm so moved by John, his passion, his commitment, and I am so excited to share this interview with you.

3 tips for creating sustainable change

Everybody is looking for that one thing that will catapult their life into a different energy that will bring them happiness or get them closer to their desired goal. What is that one thing and how do we achieve it in such a way that the change it creates is sustainable?

This episode is all about creating that sustainable change. It starts with recognizing that we are the common denominator in our own lives.

What is Epigenetics?

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 09 Jun 2022 05:00:00 -0400

There is a general misconception that we cannot do anything about what we've been given when it comes to our health, especially when it comes to our genetic expression, cancer histories, and alcoholism. All of these things can have a very strong influence on our health but there is evidence now that our health is not fixed; that we can do something about what we've been given. How we live our lives, our life styles, our diets, and our stress levels, can all play a really important role in the expression of our genes. This thought that is at the center of epigenetics will be discussed more deeply in this episode.

Ego consciousness and letting the ego die

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 19 May 2022 05:00:00 -0400

In the most simplistic terms an ego is a person's sense of their own self esteem or self-importance. It's the part of the mind that mediates between the conscious, which is our awareness, and the unconscious, which is our subconscious programming. And it's responsible for reality testing and our sense of personal identity.

On this episode we're going to talk about our ego and the consciousness of it and why it's probably a good idea to let it die.

How to implement trauma-informed care in your coaching practice

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 05 May 2022 05:00:00 -0400

The importance of trauma-informed care has never been more essential because there has never been more support out there for people in every way imaginable. And the coaching world is regulated so differently than the therapeutic world.

Trauma-informed care really makes sure that coaches (and other organizations) subscribe to certain ethics around their work culture to help people feel safe and protected, to be able to recognize signs and symptoms of trauma within clients, and implement this knowledge to avoid traumatizing people.

This is so important because you can't empower someone if you are dismissing them. Tune in to learn more.

Exploring systematic issues in traditional medicine

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 14 Apr 2022 05:00:00 -0400

This episode is the third out of six on the mini-series: A Blueprint for Sustainable Transformation and Optimal Wellbeing.

If you haven't listened to either of the previous episodes, I highly encourage you to go back and listen to them first.

I have a passion for creating change in not only people's suffering but in systemic issues that really don't have great outcomes. If the outcomes of mental health, addiction, and trauma were better, I wouldn't be here speaking today. Simple as that.

So with that in mind, we're going to be exploring systemic issues in traditional healthcare and medicine.

Climate change: self-healing is necessary

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 07 Apr 2022 05:00:00 -0400

One needs to have good physical, mental, and spiritual health in order to have sustainable transformation and optimal wellbeing. But rarely is that something that people have. We look at our health as something that is finite, not something that we can change.

But the truth is, nothing about us is fixed and that's a beautiful thing because we are forever changing. As we evolve and become more involved in our own person evolution it is so important that we become our own best advocate. Because who knows you better than you?

Why Holistic Care is the Model of Care

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 24 Mar 2022 05:00:00 -0400

We have to be able to understand what is happening within us in order to have a reparative experience.

This is available to us by getting in touch with the parts of ourselves (from our younger version of lives) that mess with our current state.

Spirituality is the invisible thread that weaves our lives together, and it's essential for wellness. We're complex creatures with many different parts to ourselves; sometimes those pieces can feel out of reach or beyond understanding - but by learning how they work on an individual level, we can ultimately reach wellness.

Always remember, you are many many different parts as a whole. This makes you unique!

A blueprint for sustainable transformation & optimal wellbeing

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 17 Mar 2022 05:00:00 -0400

Welcome! This episode is the intro to the mini-series on the blueprint for sustainable transformation and optimal wellbeing.

How can change really happen? High failure rates in the addiction and recovery industry, or how CBT or talk therapy is still the most widely accepted type of insured and paid therapy in North America. What's wrong with that? It has limited and sometimes very poor success rates... So how does one know what to do when they really don't know what to do? They know that they need help or they know that they need some support or a family member does. What truly works?

This is what we're going to be talking about in this few mini-series. I'm going to break it down into a few different episodes and we're going to dive deep into a blueprint for sustainable transformation and optimal wellbeing. In each episode, we're going to talk about the tenants that make that really work.

It is through my own lived experience and professional training that I can offer you this glimpse of hope for you or your loved ones to create a clear pathway, a blueprint so you can exponentially increase your healing, your dreams, and your desires.

Recovery is about wholeness, not abstinence

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 24 Feb 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Recovery is about wholeness, not necessarily abstinence.

I realize this can be a triggering or controversial conversation. But that is not the purpose of this episode. The purpose of this episode is to bring light to what recovery really is. Because even if you're sober you can be very unwell. So, it is important to remember that there's all different ways that people find their path.

Is there room for more?

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 10 Feb 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Is there room for more for you?

We get really stuck and vested in our narrative. It sounds something like, “Yes, but…”

I think you know what I mean. Our narrative is causing us pain based on what has happened to us in the past and we end up bypassing our present moment.

When we’re in our pain, we’re waiting trying to get out but refusing to let go and when we’re in our space of joy, we resist it and it feels too good to be true.

Let this episode turn a page for you because it’s time you really experience the joy in your life!

How to be okay and not okay at the same time

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 03 Feb 2022 05:00:00 -0500

We walk around in this space of trying to be okay and not okay at the same time. We’re waiting for something in our lives to happen to feel more complete or we’re waiting for a certain outcome to look a certain way. But we all know life doesn’t work that way. So we’re making this conscious choice to live in a space of being okay and not okay at the same time.

If we’re waiting for the perfect circumstances, we’re bypassing what’s possible in this moment.

So how do we stop putting our enjoyment on hold? This episode will teach you how to show up in this moment and accept what is.

How the brain creates sustainable change

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 20 Jan 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Today we are going to talk about why I would be the most unlikely person to be sitting here sharing and selling hope. In an ideal world, you could call me a "hope dealer" because my whole mission in life is to really ease the pathway for others who come behind me. And the reason I'm so passionate about this subject is really because mine was so difficult.

I'm also going to be talking about understanding how our brain works, how we decode information, and how we make meaning of our world.

The different lifecycles of life: are you stuck or are you learning?

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 13 Jan 2022 05:00:00 -0500

Today I want to talk about the cycles of life. We all go through seasons. From birth through death there are many periods of time where, if we knew how to navigate them well, our journey could be so much richer, easier, and maybe some of the mistakes wouldn't be so costly. What if we could give people a curriculum or blueprint that has some very foundational knowledge that helps them to be able to unpack, navigate, and move forward without so much cost. This is what I want to talk to you about today.

We are all recovering from something

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 30 Dec 2021 05:00:00 -0500

We are all in recovery from something... maybe even life. I say this because I believe wholeheartedly if you're human you're subjective to suffering and challenges, but also beautiful euphoric joy, peace, and happiness. However, not all of us are able to get to the other side. We all have a spiritual curriculum and some of us will answer it and some of us won't. Are you going to answer the call?

Blueprint for optimal wellbeing

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 23 Dec 2021 05:00:00 -0500

Today I want to talk about how we get started on our own path of discovery, recovery, healing, thriving, whatever you want to call it. I think it's part of the human journey that we all go through, what I call "funnels". These funnels can be heartbreak, divorce, cancer, mental health, substance abuse, etc... If we're human, we're going to struggle. That's part of the human journey.

Devotion to your individuality with Paul Fishman

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 16 Dec 2021 05:00:00 -0500

Paul Fishman, host of The Road to Self Love Podcast and creator of the Self Love Diet. Paul discusses with us how he got into the self-love space after realizing that he had fallen into many of the same traps as others in the fitness world and was not loving his true self and taking responsibility for his own life. He shares some experiences from his past that in hindsight he realized were the critical first steps on his self-love journey. We also discuss some markers that you are sabotaging your own self-love, how self-love is one of the most selfless things that you can do, and some common pitfalls that people encounter on their journey to self-love.

The secret sauce is always within

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 02 Dec 2021 05:00:00 -0500

Today I want to talk about the human journey. This topic has always intrigued me and made me ask, "What drives people to behave the way they do?" and "Why do some humans have such resilience while others do not have the desire or even the capacity to change or make the choices that one has to make?". I'm also going to discuss the "secret sauce" to making life more manageable. Spoiler alert...it starts within you.

How your physiology & psychology are intertwined

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 28 Oct 2021 05:00:00 -0400

I'm really passionate about how we really heal, and what it means to self-heal. We tend to think that external conditions are what's going to change things for us, but actually, it's the complete opposite. The thing that moves the needle the most when it comes to self-healing is to really know and understand yourself. You have to know what drives your motivation and what drives your behavior for healing to really start. Self-healing cannot happen from a place of shame or judgment of yourself. It has to happen from a place of choosing differently NOW. We can't undo yesterday and tomorrow's not here, so we only have this moment.

Taking the first steps to address shame

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 21 Oct 2021 05:00:00 -0400

We live in a time of WAY too much information. Everybody is constantly bombarded with Instagram, Facebook, ads everywhere, whatever it may be! But while we're definitely not short on information, what we are absolutely lacking in is implementation. I grew up overwhelmed with shame. It was pervasive, it felt like it was in my soul. I couldn't lift my head up to look in the mirror, because what mirrored back at me was something I couldn't accept. But here's what I didn't know then that I do now: Shame is a universal emotion. Every person who walks this earth will experience it at some point or another in their lives. And what matters is your response to it. The idea is not to push it away as if it doesn't exist, it's that we have to make peace with it because it's always going to be part of our life. But how do we make peace with something that never goes away?...

What is holistic health and recovery?

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 14 Oct 2021 05:00:00 -0400

What if I told you that everything you know about healing and getting well is complement backwards? The agency for our good health lies in our own hands and YOU are your best advocate for your self healing.

Holistic health recovery unlocks the infinite potential of who we can be because if we only heal part of ourselves, we are losing opportunities in our lives. On this episode of the Naturally High podcast, I want to dive into a core foundation of my career, this podcast, and my life: What is holistic health and recovery? Why it's important? And how does it work?

How to be Naturally High

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 07 Oct 2021 05:00:00 -0400

How do you achieve a natural high? Why is it so important? How do we get there? Being naturally high is a process, not a destination. I'm a big proponent of getting high in life, but just not in destructive ways. Being naturally high is an embodied feeling of wholeness, completeness, satisfaction. This feeling is achievable for everyone, you just have to try! So, show up for yourself today, take charge, and remember...true awakenings happen by feeling naturally high!

What Holistic Recovery Means

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 05:00:00 -0400

What if I told you that everything you thought you knew about healing and getting well is completely backwards? Today I am geeking out over holistic recovery! When we understand how everything works in relationship to the whole, it unlocks our potential, fulfillment, joy, and happiness in life. AND it lead to our ultimate health and wellbeing. This is something that is so critical and important, but it's only really started emerging recently here in the 21st century. It's all about a healthy working balance between your mind, body, and soul. The questions of the day are: Why don't more of us practice medicine this way? Why aren't we focused on preventative healthcare? How can we optimize our own health and wellbeing?

The journey is both brutal and beautiful

Jeanne Foot — Thu, 09 Sep 2021 18:54:04 -0400

This has been a LONG TIME COMING! Why Naturally High? What can you expect in upcoming episodes? First of all, if you're human, you're in the right place. You belong here. Second of all, I have first-hand experience as to how mental health, trauma, and addiction has ripped through 3 generations of my own family. Often we are raised the same way as the generation previous, which perpetuates the cycle of dysfunction in families, UNLESS we consciously choose to heal the pain from our family or choose to bring up our children differently.

This is my story of doing just that. And a Naturally High life is available for you as well.
