What if the traditional therapy model is fundamentally broken? In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with my co-founders from the Integrative Psychology Institute - Adam Carney, President & Co-Founder of the Institute For Integrative Trauma, and Molly Mendoza, Founder of the Integrative Psychology Institute. We expose the critical flaws in traditional therapy education and reveal our revolutionary 18-month masters program that's changing everything.
Discover why most therapists graduate unprepared for real-world practice, how our competency-based model prioritizes embodied learning over test performance, and why addressing biology alongside psychology is essential for true healing.
We explore the connection between authenticity and nervous system regulation, how business can be a mirror for personal growth, and why the future of therapy requires practitioners who have mastered their own embodied presence first. If you're interested in mental health, considering therapy training, or curious about the intersection of psychology, biology, and spirituality, this episode reveals a completely new paradigm for healing.

What if shame is the #1 block to pleasure, intimacy, and authentic connection? In this groundbreaking episode, I welcome Dr. Danielle Harel and Celeste Hirschman, founders of the revolutionary Somatica Method, to explore how pleasure, embodiment, and emotional expression can transform your sexual experiences and relationships.
We dive deep into why performance-based sexuality kills intimacy, how shame disconnects us from our bodies, and why pleasure can be a powerful entry point for healing trauma. Discover why many people don't know what they want sexually, how kinks and fantasies can become tools for emotional liberation, and practical techniques using breath, sound, and body awareness to unlock blocked energy.
Whether you're struggling with intimacy, recovering from sexual trauma, or simply want to deepen your connection with pleasure and your partner, this episode offers a compassionate, body-based approach to sexual healing that goes far beyond traditional therapy.

Blood flow is the foundation of nearly every biological function - from digestion and brain clarity to energy production and detoxification. As we age, blood flow naturally decreases, contributing to chronic health issues and reduced quality of life.
In this fascinating episode, I sit down with Ilan Sobel, CEO of BioHarvest Sciences, to explore how revolutionary plant cell technology is transforming longevity science. We dive deep into Venia, a breakthrough supplement made from red grape cells that delivers superior resveratrol without soil, pesticides, or heavy metals.
Ilan shares how their patented process creates the most bioavailable form of resveratrol ever developed, clinically proven to improve arterial dilation, increase nitric oxide, cross the blood-brain barrier, and support overall cardiovascular health.
Whether you're interested in longevity, brain health, or simply optimizing your daily energy, this episode reveals how blood flow optimization could be the missing piece in your wellness puzzle.
