Mind Your Own Karma - Beyond The Bandage

What if your burnout, gut issues, and chronic fatigue aren’t random, but signals your body has sent trying to get you to slow down and listen?In this episode, nervous system and health coach Mitch Webb breaks down the connection between the nervous system, trauma, stress, and physical health — and why so many people stay stuck even when they’re doing “all the right things.”This conversation challenges the idea that healing is about pushing harder or finding the next quick fix, and instead explores what happens when you begin working with the body instead of constantly fighting against it.In This Episode You’ll Learn:• Why chasing symptoms can keep you stuck in cycles• What “capacity” actually means — and why it matters• How trauma and chronic stress show up physically in the body• Why nervous system dysregulation can block healing• What brain retraining really is (and isn’t)• Why slowing down is not the same thing as giving up• Practical ways to begin regulating your nervous system today• The connection between burnout, fatigue, and emotional overwhelm.WHERE TO FIND MITCH WEBB:Website: https://www.mitchwebb.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kmitchwebbYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQM3QW2Ip2Vx8LSkeUaQv5AFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/mitch.webb.503LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kmitchwebbFree Resource: https://mailchi.mp/2c94ed3c3a3c/break-free-from-the-jungleFree Nervous System Quiz: https://mitch-webb.involve.me/nervous-system-state-quizFree 30-min Session w/Mitch https://calendly.com/k-mitch-webb/15-minute-meetingFIND MELISSAON WEBSITES:⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠ON SOCIALSMYOK on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠#MindYourOwnKarma #SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #MelissaBrunetti #MitchWebb #BurnoutRecovery #BurnoutHealing #NervousSystemHealing #NervousSystemRegulation#GutHealthHealing #ChronicStress #TraumaInformedCare #ChronicIllnessRecovery#BrainRetraining #SomaticAwareness #MindBodyHealing #FunctionalHealth#StressRecovery #EmbodiedHealing

What if binge drinking isn't really about alcohol at all?What happens when life changes in an instant… and you’re left trying to make sense of everything that follows?In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma – Beyond theBandage, Melissa sits down with Colleen Clifford to talk about the reality of navigating grief after a sudden and deeply painful loss.This conversation goes beyond surface-level drinking and into the layers many people don’t talk about — how we cope, what we turn to, and how those patterns can quietly take hold over time. Together, they explore what can be underneath those behaviors, how to begin recognizing them, and what it looks like to start making different choices without shame or perfection.Colleen shares her personal experience, what it took tobegin shifting her patterns, and what healing has looked like for her over time. What You’ll Learn• What binge drinking actually looks like and why it’soften missed• The subtle signs and patterns people tend to overlook• Why these behaviors are easy to justify or minimize• What can be underneath the urge to cope in this way• How to recognize your personal triggers• What you can do in the moment to start shifting the pattern• How to begin the healing process without feeling overwhelmed• Why slipping is part of the process and not failure• What it can look like to create a life beyond these patterns  Where to Find Colleen Cliffordhttps://lifebeyondthebinge.comhttps://lifebeyondthebinge.com/podcasts%2Fspeaker-page FIND MELISSAON WEBSITES:⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠ON SOCIALSMYOK on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠#MindYourOwnKarma #MelissaBrunetti#SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #ColleenClifford#LifeBeyondTheBinge #GriefHealing #EmotionalHealing #CopingWithLoss#TraumaHealing #AddictionRecovery #MentalHealthAwareness #HealingJourney#SelfDiscovery #BingeDrinkingAwareness #AlcoholFreeLiving

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, Melissa sits down with psychologist Dr. Barbara Minton to explore the powerful intersection of neuroscience and music. With more than 30 years of experience in mental health innovation, Barbara’s latest work focuses on how the brain mirrors musical patterns, and how specially designed compositions can help regulate the nervous system, reduce chronic pain, ease insomnia, and calm stress.This conversation goes beyond the idea of music as entertainment and dives into how sound can be intentionally created to shift brain states and support real, measurable healing.You’ll learn:• How the brain mimics the rhythms and structures in music • What brain imaging reveals about stress, pain, and insomnia when exposed to healing music • How “Calm the Storm” was created to support nervous system regulation • Why music works as more than entertainment - it can be a measurable healing tool • Practical ways you can use music right now to improve sleep and emotional well-being Where to Find Dr. Barbara Minton:Website: https://musicandhealing.netLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbara-minton-057957164/FIND MELISSAON WEBSITES:⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠ON SOCIALSMYOK on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠#MindYourOwnKarma #SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #MelissaBrunetti #BarbaraMinton #Neuroscience #MusicAndHealing #BrainHealth #ChronicPainRelief #StressRelief #SleepHealing #TraumaHealing #EmotionalRegulation #HealingWithMusic #CalmTheStorm

Trigger warnings: addiction and self-harm. What if healing didn’t have to feel intense… oroverwhelming… or like you’re forcing your way through it?In this episode, I’m joined by Christian Rasmussen,researcher and founder of Amentara, who is helping bring Amanita muscaria into the modern healing conversation in a grounded and responsible way. This is not your typical plant medicine discussion. We’re talking about a completely different relationship to healing, one that works with your nervous system instead of pushing it past its limits.We explore how Amanita has been used historically, what’s actually happening in the body, and why it’s gaining attention right now in a world where so many people feel chronically dysregulated.If you’ve ever been curious about plant medicine buthesitant about intensity, safety, or losing control, this conversation opens a very different door.In this episode, you’ll learn:What Amanita muscaria is and how it differs from other plant medicines How it supports the nervous system instead of overstimulating it The history and traditional use of Amanita Why this medicine is resurfacing right now How suppressed emotions can come up gently and safely The connection between Amanita, dreams, and intuition What responsible use, preparation, and integration really look like How this fits into a modern healing journey  WHERE TO FIND CHRISTIAN RASMUSSENwww.amentara.comhttps://www.instagram.com/R.Christian.Rhttps://www.instagram.com/amentara.shophttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmQ8Ta3Zz5rfOVRHYY1driQhttps://www.theamanitaeffect.com/https://x.com/MNNiceEthno FIND MELISSA⁠⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠⁠MYOK on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠⁠#MindYourOwnKarma SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #ChristianRasmussen #MelissaBrunetti #AmanitaMuscaria #PlantMedicineHealing #NervousSystemHealing #TraumaHealingTools #AlternativeHealing #HolisticHealing #AncientMedicine #SpiritualHealing#PsychedelicEducation #IntegrationWork

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond theBandage, I sit down with internationally acclaimed performance coach and founder of the Metcalfe Method, Dan Metcalfe. After surviving a spinal injuryand brain trauma that would sideline most people forever, Dan rebuilt himself using the very techniques he now teaches.Through the lens of neuroscience, emotional intelligence and holistic movement, Dan explains why most healing journeys stay stuck — and what to do instead. We explore his 7 Pillars of Natural Health and how they help people transition from pain and survival to connection, power, and healing.If you’re feeling out of sync with your body, exhausted by mindset work that doesn’t stick, or curious how movement and brain integration can spark deep healing, this one’s for you.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:Dan’s personal story of injury, brain trauma, and recoveryWhat the Metcalfe Method is and how it bridges brain and bodyThe mindset traps keeping us in survival modeThe 7 Pillars of Natural Health and how to activate themSimple ways to start reconnecting with yourself todayWhere to Find Dan Metcalfe:Website: https://www.bornsuperhuman.comWebsite: https://www.totalbalancecompany.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/danmetcalfe_officialFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TotalBalanceCompanyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/totalbalancecompany/                  https://www.instagram.com/bornsuperhuman/WHERE TO FIND MELISSAON WEBSITES:⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠ON SOCIALSMYOK on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠#DanMetcalfe #MetcalfeMethod #BrainBodyHealing #TotalBalance #NeuroscienceHealing #SomaticHealingJourneys #NaturalHealth #ChronicPainRelief #MindsetMatters #EmotionalHealing #MovementMedicine #BeyondTheBandage #MindYourOwnKarma #SMGI #SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #ResilienceTraining#TraumaRecovery #SuperhumanPotential

What if meditation was treated like brushing your teeth—not as a luxury, but as daily maintenance for a healthy mind? In this episode, Melissa talks with Veronica Moya, a children’s meditation teacher, author, and founder of Mindful V, about how mindfulness helps kids buildconfidence, resilience and emotional intelligence from the inside out.From debunking myths about meditation to sharing practical tools parents can start using today, Veronica shows us that it’s never too early—or too late—to nurture inner peace.In this episode, you’ll learn:Why meditation should be viewed as mental hygieneHow early mindfulness builds confidence and emotional resilienceSimple one-minute practices to help kids calm their bodiesThe biggest myth about meditation and how to reframe itHow meditation supports self-acceptance and prevents anxietyWhat adults can learn from children about joy and presenceWhereto Find Veronica Moya:Website: https://veronicamoya.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@VeronicaMoyaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/veronicamoyacoach/FIND MELISSAON WEBSITES:⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠ON SOCIALSMYOK on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠#MindYourOwnKarma #BeyondTheBandage#SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #VeronicaMoya#MindfulV #ChildrensMeditation #KidsMindfulness #EmotionalIntelligence #SelfAcceptance #MentalHygiene #ParentingTools #RaisingMindfulKids#ConsciousParenting #AnxietyRelief #MindBodyConnection #HealingForKids#ConfidenceBuilding #InnerWisdom #MeditationPractice #MindfulnessEducation#CalmKids #SpiritualParenting #MindYourOwnKarmaPodcast

High performers are often praised for their composure — even while their nervous systems are running in survival mode behind the scenes.In this episode, Mitchell Weisburgh joins Melissa Brunetti to explore how chronic stress and reactivity shape leadership, decision-making, and relationships — and what it takes to retrain the brain for calm, clarity, and collaboration.Rather than relying on mindset tricks or willpower, this conversation looks at nervous-system patterns, emotional regulation, and practical ways leaders can respond instead of react.In this episode, you’ll learn:• What “emotional survival mode” actually looks like in everyday leadership• How chronic stress quietly hijacks decision-making and relationships• Why resilience, creativity, and collaboration are trainable skills• The difference between mindset hacks and nervous-system retraining• How survival mode impacts communication at work and at home• Simple ways leaders can interrupt reactivity without slowing down• How teams get stuck in collective survival mode — and how to shift it• Where to start if you’re successful but chronically taxedWHERE TO FIND MITCHELL WEISBURGH:Website: https://www.mindshiftingwithmitch.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weisburghm/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mweisburgh/Books:MindShifting: Stop Your Brain from Sabotaging Your Happiness and Successhttps://a.co/d/242NDWdMindShifting: Conflict and Collaboration Courses:https://events.humanitix.com/host/mitchell-weisburghFIND MELISSA:https://www.somatichealingjourneys.comhttps://www.mindyourownkarma.comemailto:[email protected] on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠⁠#MindYourOwnKarma #SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #MitchellWeisburgh #NervousSystem #EmotionalRegulation #BurnoutRecovery #StressManagement #CalmLeadership #HighPerformers #LeadershipDevelopment #TraumaInformedLeadership #Resilience #SelfAwareness #EmotionalIntelligence #Neuroscience #Psychology #WorkplaceWellbeing #Collaboration #sustainablesuccess

Burnout isn’t just about working too much, it’s about living in survival mode for too long. In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, I sit down with clinical hypnotherapist and somatic regulation coach Garrett Wood. Garrett helps high-achieving, high-masking professionals break free from the boom-and-bust cycle of burnout by integrating subconscious reprogramming, sensory intelligence, and body-based tools.We explore the real science behind hypnotherapy, the myths that keep people skeptical, and how automatic stress responses can be updated in real time. Garrett also shares how his work helps clients align health, wealth, and relationships without burning out in the process.What You’ll Learn in This Episode• The biggest misconceptions about hypnotherapy, and what it actually is• How somatic regulation tools can shift automatic responses in the moment• Why high achievers are especially prone to burnout• The seven performance domains Garrett evaluates and how they impact burnout, success, and relationships• How subconscious beliefs and attachment patterns shape health and connection• Practical ways to align health, wealth, and relationships without sacrificing one for anotherWHERE TO FIND GARRETT WOODWebsite: https://www.gnosistherapy.com/aboutInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gnosistherapy/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gnosistherapy/FIND MELISSAON WEBSITES:⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠ON SOCIALS:MYOK on Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on Facebook:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MYOK on YouTube:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠#MindYourOwnKarma #SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #Hypnotherapy #SomaticRegulation #Burnout #BurnoutRecovery#SubconsciousReprogramming #HighAchievers #NervousSystemHealing #HolisticHealing #TraumaInformedCare

In this powerful episode, Melissa sits down with Lora Cheadle —a betrayal recovery coach, intuitive channel, and author — whose life cracked wide open after discovering her husband’s long-term infidelity. What could have destroyed her became the doorway to deep healing, embodiment, and spiritual awakening.Together, they explore how betrayal, burnout, and breakdowns aren’t the end of the story, but invitations into truth, sovereignty, and wholeness.You’ll hear:How betrayal rupture’s identity and why insight alone isn’t enough to heal itWho the Librarians are and the messages they’re bringing through right nowThe difference between soul-growth pain and unnecessary sufferingWhy smart, spiritual people often miss betrayal signs—and how to release shameWhy the body must be included in rebuilding trust after ruptureThis is more than a conversation about relationships—it’sa conversation about remembering who you are after everything you thought was solid falls away.WHERE TO FIND LORA CHEADLEYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/loracheadlelifechoreographerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/loracheadle/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/LifeChoreographer/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lora-cheadle-lifechoreographer/Podcast: https://loracheadle.com/flaunt-podcast/Free Betrayal Recovery Guide: https://loracheadle.com/betrayal-recovery-guide/Free Monthly Energy Update from The Librarians: https://lora-cheadle.kit.com/e06ce40408Books:FLAUNT!
