EP 439: Your Gut Controls Your Hormones: The Overnight Food Trick That Changes Everything with Dr Mindy Patterson
Have you ever wondered why your menopause symptoms persist despite doing everything “right”—eating clean, exercising regularly, and following all the conventional advice? What if the solution isn’t about adding more to your plate, but about changing when and how you prepare the food you’re already eating? While most menopause advice focuses on hormone replacement therapy, real transformation happens when you optimise your gut health. In this groundbreaking episode, registered dietitian and gut health researcher Dr Mindy Patterson reveals how a simple overnight food preparation trick can double your fibre intake and why 90% of your serotonin is actually made in your gut, not your brain. The Researcher Who Lives What She Teaches Dr Mindy Patterson isn’t just a dietitian who studies nutrition—she’s a researcher who discovered the power of gut health through her own transformative experience. A memorable college experiment with fibre taught her firsthand about the gut-brain connection and launched nearly two decades of research into how our microbiome influences everything from hormonal balance to mental clarity. With a PhD in Nutrition, over 20 peer-reviewed publications, and as Associate Professor of Nutrition at Texas Woman’s University in Houston, Dr Mindy combines rigorous science with practical wisdom. As Founder and CEO of NutriCision and creator of Renutrin®, a science-backed prebiotic fibre supplement, she’s dedicated to empowering women in midlife through evidence-based gut health strategies. The Temperature Secret Nobody Talks About Dr Mindy’s most surprising revelation: cooking and then cooling starchy foods like potatoes, oats, and quinoa can increase their resistant starch content by two to three times. When you prepare these foods the night before and eat them chilled or gently reheated, you’re getting significantly more fibre without eating more food. This overnight preparation hack works because cooling causes the starch molecules to recompact in a way that resists digestive enzymes, allowing the fiber to reach your large intestine where beneficial gut bacteria transform it into compounds that reduce inflammation and boost metabolic health. The Gut-Brain-Hormone Connection “Most people don’t realise that around 90% of our serotonin is actually made in the gut. When serotonin is stimulated or increased in the gut, that signals the gut-brain axis to increase serotonin in the brain.” This connection explains why gut health profoundly impacts mood, anxiety, depression, and the mental clarity issues many women experience during perimenopause. The vagus nerve serves as the communication highway between gut and brain, with dietary choices directly influencing your emotional wellbeing and cognitive function. The Fibre Gap That’s Sabotaging Your Health While US recommendations suggest modest fibre amounts, Dr Mindy’s research indicates women need 35 to 40 grams daily for true metabolic and gut health benefits, especially during hormonal transitions. Most women fall dangerously short, missing out on fibre’s power to feed beneficial gut bacteria, reduce inflammation, and naturally boost GLP-1 for appetite control and hormonal balance. From Hormones to Inflammation As estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone decline during perimenopause and menopause, inflammation levels rise throughout the body. Estrogen acts as a potent anti-inflammatory hormone, so its loss contributes to everything from brain fog to weight gain to chronic conditions. The liberating truth: calming inflammation through strategic gut-focused nutrition may be the root solution for many menopause symptoms. Dr Mindy recommends C-reactive protein (CRP) testing to measure inflammation levels and emphasises that supporting your microbiome isn’t just about digestion—it’s about supporting your entire hormonal and neurological system.

EP 438: Your Ancestors’ Trauma Lives in Your Body: Healing Generational Pain with Sound with Eileen McKusick
What if the chronic pain you can’t shake, the anxiety that won’t quit, or the patterns you keep repeating aren’t actually yours? What if they belong to your father’s father, your mother’s mother, carried forward through generations in your electromagnetic field? While most health approaches focus on chemicals and mechanics, sound researcher Eileen McKusick reveals a revolutionary truth: we are fundamentally electrical beings, and our ancestors’ unresolved trauma lives in our biofield. In this transformative episode, she shares how therapeutic sound can release generational pain that’s been trapped in your body for decades, or even centuries. The Researcher Who Maps the Invisible Eileen Day McKusick isn’t just theorising about energy fields. Since 1996, she has been methodically studying the effects of sound on the human body’s electrical system. Through nearly 30 years of clinical practice using tuning forks, she discovered something extraordinary: the human biofield has specific, mappable anatomy that stores our memories, emotions, and ancestral patterns. As a researcher, writer, inventor, and educator who has trained over 3,500 biofield tuning practitioners worldwide, Eileen bridges the gap between ancient wisdom and modern understanding. Her books, “Tuning the Human Biofield” and “Electric Body, Electric Health,” provide the framework for a completely different way of understanding health. The Ancestral Rivers Running Through You Eileen’s most striking discovery: structures she calls “ancestral rivers” that run down either side of your body, carrying the electromagnetic information of your bloodline. “The one on the right side holds the information of the bloodline of your father,” Eileen explains. “If your father is an alcoholic, and his father is an alcoholic, and his father is an alcoholic, that information is very turgid. It’s very full of problems that were never solved. It’s full of the violence and the chaos and emotional dysfunction of your ancestors.” The left side carries your mother’s lineage. These aren’t metaphors. Skilled practitioners can actually hear and feel these patterns through tuning forks, identifying inherited addiction, suppressed rage, and unresolved grief that inform your behaviour, thinking, and feelings today. What Really Ails You “Most of what ails us, whether it’s physical pain, depression, anxiety, or digestive disorders, is related to a pattern of tension in the body,” Eileen reveals. These tensions come from childhood contractions, suppressed emotions, and the fundamental unsafety many experienced growing up. We’ve been taught to hold back anger, to be strong, to suppress symptoms. This creates electromagnetic resistance in our bodies. Your migraine isn’t just a headache. Your digestive issues aren’t just about food. They’re patterns of tension inhibiting flow, creating noise in your electrical signal. The Power of Coherent Sound Through tuning forks, Eileen has successfully treated acute pain, taking people from an eight or nine on the pain scale to nearly zero in 15 to 20 minutes. Published research shows biofield tuning’s effectiveness for anxiety relief. But how? “A strong, coherent signal overtakes and entrains a weak, incoherent signal,” she explains. The tuning fork produces steady, coherent vibration that gently coaches your body into relaxation and release. It’s physics, resonance, and the body’s innate capacity to heal when given the right support. During our conversation, Eileen relieved my severe migraine in real time using a 222 Hertz tuning fork. The tightness I’d felt like a helmet around my head simply loosened and released. The Electric Health Revolution Eileen challenges us to shift from the chemical-mechanical health model to an electric health perspect

EP 437: From Trauma to Truth: How to Come Home to Yourself with Dr Thema Bryant
Have you ever felt like you’ve been living as a version of yourself that isn’t quite you—the one who smiles when exhausted, says “I’m fine” when breaking, and keeps the peace even when your soul is screaming for truth? While most healing advice focuses on moving forward, real transformation happens when you come home to yourself. In this powerful episode, psychologist, author, and sacred artist Dr Thema Bryant reveals the journey from trauma to truth and what it truly means to reclaim your authentic self after years of people-pleasing and self-abandonment. The Healer Who Has Healed Dr Thema Bryant isn’t just a psychologist who studies healing—she’s a healer who has walked her own journey through trauma and transformation. As a survivor of sexual violence, she discovered that reclaiming her body through dance protected her relationship with herself during the healing process. With a doctorate in Clinical Psychology from Duke University, post-doctoral training at Harvard Medical Centre’s Victims of Violence Program, and as the 2023 president of the American Psychological Association, Dr Thema combines academic excellence with deeply personal wisdom. Her recently released book, Matters of the Heart (Penguin Random House, February 2025), empowers readers to heal their relationships with themselves and others. What Homecoming Really Means Dr Thema’s most powerful insight: “To come home to myself is to tell myself the truth and to live based on that truth.” When we experience interpersonal trauma, we develop survival mechanisms that disconnect us from ourselves. We become experts at anticipating others’ needs, moulding ourselves to keep the peace, and sending our “representative” instead of our authentic self. This people-pleasing pattern may have kept us safe, but it keeps us living as side characters in our own lives. The Truth About Healing “Healing doesn’t always feel good in the moment. Healing can feel awkward. It can feel messy. I’ve even had some people say it feels fake because they’re used to faking it.” This discomfort triggers our deepest fears of abandonment and rejection. But here’s the liberating truth: you can be real and still be loved. While some people may walk away when you show up authentically, this creates space for genuine connections with kindred spirits who align with your true self. Trauma Affects You, But It Doesn’t Define You Dr Thema reveals how many of us unconsciously make the people who hurt us the central characters in our lives. “Everything we do is in response to them—’I hope they see me now. Wait till they see me now.’ So they’re still the centre of it. I’m trying to prove my worthiness to them.” The gift of healing is removing them from centre stage and showing up fully for your own life. From Surviving to Thriving Dr Thema draws a critical distinction using Maya Angelou’s wisdom: “Surviving is necessary, but thriving is elegant.” Survival is making it through each day. Thriving is developing your gifts, cultivating healthy relationships, building your strengths, and learning to be soft in places you’ve hardened. The journey requires moving beyond just relieving distress to experiencing genuine growth, purpose, and joy. Breaking Generational Patterns Some wounds we have, we actually inherited. Dr Thema encourages us to reflect on which lessons from our parents and ancestors are wisdom worth keeping, which need adjustment, and which should be released entirely. We can honour previous generations without duplicating patterns that no longer serve us. The Boundary Challenge On boundaries, Dr Thema offers revealing insight: from childhood, girls are conditioned through toys and social messaging to prioritise caretaking and self-sacrifice, while boys learn to advocate for themselves and pursue what they want.

EP 436: ASTROLOGY’S Chiron: Your KARMIC WOUND Is Actually Your Superpower with Jill Brown
Have you ever wondered why you keep repeating the same patterns, struggling with fears that seem to have no origin in this lifetime? While most people know their sun sign, there’s a hidden placement in your birth chart that reveals your deepest wound and your greatest gift. In this profound episode, evolutionary astrologer Jill Brown shares how understanding Chiron, the “wounded healer,” can transform your pain into purpose and help you finally break free from unconscious patterns. The NASA Engineer Who Heard Past Lives Jill Brown’s journey is extraordinary. With an aeronautics degree and a career at NASA running drone test ranges, she was the last person you’d expect to become an evolutionary astrologer. Everything changed when her two-year-old daughter described her “other mother” who taught her songs to navigate by the stars at night. When Jill asked what happened, her daughter said: “We were crossing a river and she drowned, and then I went under the water, and then I woke up, and now you’re my mother.” Just a month earlier, Jill had coincidentally gotten her birth chart read by an evolutionary astrologer. The timing was impossible to ignore. What Is Chiron? The Wounded Healer Chiron is named after the centaur from Greek mythology who was injured by a poisoned arrow. Because his father was a Titan, he had immortality, but because his mother was mortal, he felt endless pain. Unable to die or heal, Chiron eventually exchanged his immortality to free Prometheus and give fire to mankind. Zeus, impressed by his sacrifice, turned him into a constellation. This is Chiron in your chart: a subconscious wound that either poisons you unconsciously, or you discover it, surrender to it, and transmute it into a gift that helps others. Your Chiron Placement Reveals Your Core Wound Each person’s Chiron is unique by sign and house. Jill’s Chiron sits in Taurus in the fifth house. Growing up in an abusive household, her wound centred on security and safety. The fifth house relates to the inner child and joy. Her healing involved becoming the parent she wished she’d had. Different signs create different wounds: Chiron in Pisces: Wound of faith and overwhelming empathy Chiron in Gemini: Communication challenges Chiron in Taurus: Security and stability issues The house shows which life area the wound manifests most strongly. It’s Not About Endless Healing Jill’s refreshing perspective: “We’re always healing wounds. Sometimes I just want to have fun too. I don’t always want to be healing a wound.” The point isn’t to live in your wound forever. Discover it, understand it, develop compassion, then transmute it. You’re not meant to unpack your wound and stay there saying “it’s my wound.” You’re meant to become the constellation that lights the way for others. The Chiron Return: The Real Reason For Midlife Crisis Everyone knows about Saturn return (age 28-30), but Chiron return happens around age 50. If you haven’t done the inner work, you unconsciously react by having affairs, quitting jobs, buying sports cars. These triggered reactions don’t address the core wound. “Are you being pushed out of something, or pulled up into something? Chiron return wants to pull you up into a higher version of yourself.” Understanding Karma As Memory Jill reframes karma: it’s not punishment or cosmic revenge. It’s memory. Karma is the stored sensations and belief systems that carry over from previous experiences. Her daughter’s fear of abandonment, despite Jill never leaving, makes sense as karmic memory from losing her mother suddenly in another lifetime. The question becomes: how do we free ourselves from limiting karmic memories while honouring the lessons? Using Astrology For Better Parenting Jill uses her daughters’ charts to understand their fundamental needs:

EP 435: How to Master Your Emotional State & Break Any Unconscious Pattern with Ryan Zofay
Have you ever felt trapped by patterns you know aren’t serving you, yet somehow can’t break free? While most personal development focuses on external strategies, real transformation happens when you master what’s going on internally. In this powerful episode, entrepreneur and transformational speaker Ryan Zofay reveals the performance psychology framework that took him from being pronounced dead at a crime scene to building a nine-figure healthcare business with over 600 employees. The Rock Bottom That Changed Everything October 8, 2001. After a weekend of drugs and alcohol, Ryan was running from police, terrified of 25 years to life in prison. He flipped his car and was pronounced dead at the scene. Growing up with a drug-addicted mother who used him to commit crimes and an alcoholic father, Ryan spent two years in and out of juvenile detention. When he woke up after that accident, a transformation began. Through the 12-step program and his sponsor, Rev. Dave Hott, Ryan discovered the foundation of everything he teaches: the gift of living is giving. Understanding Performance Psychology Ryan developed a framework that breaks down how humans create their reality: Your thoughts create your choices Your choices create your behaviours Your behaviours create your experiences Your experiences create your emotional state Most people try to change outcomes without addressing what’s creating those outcomes. Performance psychology teaches you to master your thoughts and emotional state so you can control your actions. The Unconscious Program Running Your Life Ryan’s most powerful insight: “You will never be consistent with anything that is inconsistent with your unconscious program.” This is why people know they need to leave a relationship but can’t. They know they need a new career but stay stuck. The unconscious mind keeps you safe by resisting unfamiliar territory. Choose Your Pain Wisely “You’re going to experience pain in staying the same, or you’re going to experience pain for growing. Pick which pain you want, because it’s going to happen either way.” The difference? The pain of growing gets you somewhere with satisfaction, relief, and progress. Feel It to Heal It Ryan’s most important teaching: you have to feel the feelings to heal them. Most people avoid emotions through drinking, gambling, overworking, or other escapes. But “if you’re not feeling it, you’re never going to get to where you want to be.” When you express emotions and feel the feelings of transformation, you build that muscle. Then you’re in control of how you feel. Your Relationship With Money Your relationship with money at an unconscious level is why you’re not making the money you want. Ryan’s revealing exercise: complete “When I have money, I feel…” and “When I don’t have money, I feel…” If having or not having money determines your feelings, that’s the problem. You have to feel good before the money is made. You have to be the millionaire before the money arrives. Addressing Past Voids Ryan’s process takes people back to where the original void started. In early formative years, children experience voids like not being good enough or not getting enough attention. These stored sensations develop into belief systems. When people express those feelings and make sense of them, symptoms like pessimism resolve. The core issue is developing self-compassion and self-love. Once your thoughts and feelings are aligned, you can choose how you respond to life. Why This Matters Now Ryan’s work centers on one principle: leadership comes from within. Once you can lead yourself to healing and transformation, you can show others how to do the same. When you master your emotional state and thoughts, you’re in control of your choices. And when you’re in control of your choices,

EP 434: The Psychological Trap Blocking Your Intuition (And How To Escape) with Athena Laz
Have you ever dismissed that quiet inner nudge, only to regret it later? While most of us think we’re missing intuition, the truth is we’re systematically blocked from accessing it. We’ve been conditioned to trust logic over the whispers of our unconscious mind. But what if there was a way to reopen that bridge between rational thinking and deeper inner knowing? In this transformative episode, psychologist and bestselling author Athena Laz reveals the hidden psychological trap that’s been severing your connection to intuitive wisdom since childhood, and introduces a powerful archetypal framework that can restore it. The Science Behind Your Blocked Intuition Athena shares compelling research that proves intuitive abilities are real and measurable. Studies by researcher Rupert Sheldrake demonstrate that humans can sense when they’re being watched from kilometres away, even when facing the opposite direction. Countless people worldwide dream of natural disasters before they occur, often in places they’ve never visited. This isn’t mystical thinking. It’s documented human capacity that most of us have learned to ignore. Introducing the Medial Archetype The conversation centres on a revolutionary concept developed in the 1950s by analyst Tony Wolff, a brilliant collaborator of Carl Jung. Wolff identified what she called the “medial archetype” – a psychological structure that serves as a bridge between: The conscious and unconscious mind Dreams and waking reality The seen and unseen worlds Inner wisdom and external action Athena brings this forgotten archetype into modern times, showing how anyone can access this bridging function regardless of gender identity or background. Why Society Programmed You to Distrust Your Gut The episode explores how social conditioning systematically disconnects us from our natural intuitive abilities. From childhood, many of us learn that psychic experiences, vivid dreams, or “knowing” things without logical explanation aren’t acceptable. This creates what Athena calls a “psychological trap” – we possess the capacity for expanded awareness but have been taught to dismiss it as imagination or wishful thinking. Recognising the Medial Archetype in Daily Life The medial archetype appears through various channels: In Dreams: Figures serving as messengers or guides Symbols of bridges, rainbows, or infinity signs Angels or beings facilitating communication In Mythology: The Greek goddess Iris, who travels rainbow bridges between the divine and mortal realms Characters who mediate between different worlds or states of consciousness In Daily Life: Synchronicities that carry authentic weight and meaning Moments when inner and outer reality seem to respond to each other Natural emergence of symbolic experiences without prompting Practical Steps to Reconnect With Your Intuition Athena provides actionable guidance for developing intuitive abilities: Start Playfully Guess where the best parking space will be Before checking your phone, sense who the next email might be from Practice on low-stakes situations to remove pressure Begin Dream Work Write down the last dream you remember each morning Look for recurring symbols or themes Notice connections between dream content and waking life events Commit to Stillness Start with just 2 minutes of quiet sitting daily Gradually build to 10-20 minutes Develop “meta-awareness” – noticing your thoughts without judgment The Light and Shadow of Archetypal Work Working with the medial archetype brings significant benefits: Increased discernment Enhanced trust in the unknown Better navigation of life transitions Deeper connection to inner wisdom However, Athena emphasises potential challenges: Feeling overwhelmed by collective energies Difficulty maintaining healthy boundaries Need for grounding practices and realistic expectations Why This Mat

EP 433: The Disguise Your Brain Uses To Keep You Stuck (And How To See Through It)
Have you ever wondered why you sabotage yourself right before a breakthrough? What if the very things you think are protecting you are actually keeping you stuck? In this transformative episode, we dive deep into the sneaky world of resistance and how it silently sabotages your growth and happiness. You don’t need to fight your way to freedom—you just need to understand what’s really happening beneath the surface and learn to dance with it instead of against it. This episode reveals three life-changing insights that will help you transform your greatest obstacle into your most powerful teacher. Resistance Is a Master of Disguise: Resistance never shows up as itself—it’s like a master of disguise at a costume party. It might dress up as the perfectionist (“I can’t start until I have the perfect plan”), the busy bee (“I’m too productive to slow down”), or the helper (“Everyone needs me, I can’t receive”). Catherine shares the story of a brilliant client who insisted she didn’t resist anything, yet discovered her constant urgency to fix and solve was actually resistance to sitting with uncomfortable feelings. The truth? Resistance isn’t just about what you avoid—it’s about what you refuse to allow in. Every Push Costs You Energy: Here’s the perspective shift that changes everything: every time you push away what wants to be felt, you’re not protecting yourself—you’re blocking the very energy that could set us free. When you resist love, you feel lonely in crowds. When you resist help, you exhaust yourself carrying the world alone. When you resist success, you sabotage yourself right before a breakthrough. Catherine worked with a woman who resisted receiving support because she believed it made her weak—the result was complete burnout and heartbreaking disconnection from those who loved her most. Remember: resistance isn’t protection, it’s self-sabotage wearing safety’s clothing. The Only Way Out Is Through: The most beautiful paradox in human psychology? The only way out of resistance is through it. Instead of asking “How do I get rid of this feeling?” ask “What is this resistance trying to teach me?” Catherine shares five research-backed strategies: the five-second rule to bypass mental barriers, the naming game that reduces emotional resistance by 50%, shrinking tasks so your brain can’t resist, flipping “I should” to “I choose,” and moving from self-focus to service. The practice isn’t about forcing change—it’s about creating space, because resistance loses its grip the moment you stop fighting and start allowing. This isn’t just an episode—it’s an invitation to stop fighting yourself and start understanding the wisdom your resistance holds. If you’re ready to transform your greatest obstacle into your greatest teacher, this one’s for you. You can watch the video of this episode on YouTube.

EP 432: Why Everything ‘Bad’ That Happens to You Is Actually Perfect with Nicolas Canon
What happens when your most devastating heartbreak becomes the doorway to your greatest awakening? Nicolas Canon reveals how losing the relationship he thought he wanted became the catalyst that cracked open his heart to divine love, transforming him from a successful but empty tattoo artist into a spiritual guide helping others navigate their own profound transformations. After years as one of Canada’s highest-paid tattoo artists, earning thousands per session with bags of cash beside his desk, Canon found himself at a crossroads when his girlfriend delivered words that would change his life forever. Instead of dismissing her brutal assessment of his character, he made a decision that would launch him into what he calls his “spiritual birthday.” The Artist’s Awakening: From Financial Success to Spiritual Emptiness Canon’s journey began in Colombia, where childhood violence from his mother planted seeds of unworthiness that would drive his adult pursuits. By his twenties, he had achieved everything society told him to chase as a man: financial success, dating freedom, a prestigious career in tattooing where clients would tip him up to $1,000 in cash. “I remember one evening, my client left, and I grab a glass of wine. I look at the bag full of cash, wine in hand, a date and a party lined up. And I realised I feel miserable,” Canon recalls. “I’ve followed everything that society told me to follow as a man, the financial success, the plenty of dates, the cool career, all these things. And I just felt empty.” The breaking point came when his girlfriend, in the heat of an argument, called him “the biggest piece of shit” she’d ever met. Rather than defending himself, something cracked open in Canon for the first time. The Divine Orchestration: How Pain Becomes Medicine Canon’s revolutionary insight centres on reframing our relationship with adversity. What most people see as random suffering, he now recognises as perfectly orchestrated opportunities for growth. “I saw that breakup with my girlfriend was so beautifully orchestrated,” he explains. “It was this divine plan that pushed the right spots, created the right amount of pain so that I will drop the mask.” This perspective shift came through an intense ayahuasca experience that Canon describes as his spiritual rebirth. Initially an atheist who dismissed anything he couldn’t physically perceive, four cups of the sacred plant medicine forced him to confront every emotion he had avoided and every painful memory he had suppressed. “At the other side of that, there was this big light where I felt the creator. For me, it was the most real experience I’ve ever had,” Canon shares. “I felt there is this thing that created me. It’s also part of me, like it’s bigger than me, but also I’m an extension of it.” Pain vs. Suffering: The Crucial Distinction One of Canon’s most powerful teachings distinguishes between pain and suffering. Pain, he explains, is mandatory in human experience, like cutting yourself while cooking. Suffering is the story we add, the emotional charge we attach. Using his childhood as an example, Canon explains that while his mother’s physical discipline caused temporary pain, the real damage came from the stories he created: “I’m not worthy of safety. There’s something wrong with me. I’m not good enough.” While he experienced perhaps five incidents of physical punishment, he tortured himself thousands of times with these narratives well into his twenties. “Pain is what life hands us, situations that are difficult. Suffering is living with that story,” Canon clarifies. “Pain happens. Suffering is a choice that we make, and very often a recurring choice.” The Mirror of Relationships: Why We Attract Our Triggers Canon challenges the popular notio

EP 431: From Corporate Advertising to Viral Artist: The Yin & Yang of Creativity with James McCrae
When Getting Fired Becomes Your Greatest Gift: The Creative Breakthrough That Changed Everything What happens when losing your job becomes the catalyst for finding your true calling? Artist and author James McCrae reveals how getting fired from his corporate advertising position launched him from unemployed executive to viral social media sensation, transforming his relationship with creativity and authenticity in the process. After years as a brand strategist in New York City, McCrae found himself at a crossroads when his entire department was eliminated during a corporate acquisition. Instead of frantically job hunting, he made a decision that would change his life: he sat in meditation and asked what wanted to be born through him. The Artist’s Journey: From Small Town to Social Media Success McCrae’s creative journey began in small-town Minnesota, where poetry served as his escape and a way to “create new worlds and explore the universe in much more depth” than his surroundings offered. His path meandered through painting, graphic design, and eventually corporate brand strategy, where he describes “sneaking into the business world through the back door as an artist.” The turning point came when he started creating social media content and memes that began going viral. Rather than viewing social media as merely a marketing tool, McCrae transformed these platforms into his personal “art gallery of digital art and poetry.” The Yin and Yang of Creative Expression McCrae introduces a revolutionary framework for understanding creativity through the ancient concept of yin and yang. He argues that our society has created an overemphasis on “yang” energy (doing, productivity, action) while neglecting the essential “yin” energy (receptivity, stillness, pure potentiality). “All doing begins with non-doing,” McCrae explains, comparing creativity to farming. “You want to make art, but you can’t start by growing crops. You need to tend the soil, plant the seeds, and water the soil first.” This approach involves removing distractions and cultivating mindfulness through practices like meditation, spending time in nature, and consuming art. McCrae’s breakthrough came when he began a serious mindfulness practice in New York City, discovering meditation, yoga, and Eastern philosophy that helped him “tune out all the distractions and tune into my own inner being.” From Ego to Intuition: The Art of Inner Listening McCrae distinguishes between ego-driven and intuition-driven creativity, describing the ego as speaking “like an alarm going off or like a dog barking,” while intuition whispers quietly “almost more of a feeling than it is a thought.” His daily practice involves meditating each morning before writing, then “taking dictation from the muse” rather than forcing ideas. He emphasises that creation and editing must be separate processes: “You should not write and edit at the same time. They’re completely different mindsets.” The Vulnerability Revolution: Why Authenticity Goes Viral McCrae’s breakthrough moment came when he stopped trying to project a perfect image and started sharing his authentic self. While other self-help authors played it safe, he began posting what he calls “apocalyptic poetry” and “sarcastic existential memes.” “I’m just going to allow myself full permission to be an artist and express myself however I want,” he decided. The result was explosive: “I started really going viral online. Suddenly, I was getting thousands of followers every day, and people were reposting my memes all over the internet.” His key insight: “You can be yourself much better than you can be anyone else. There’s only one you.” This authenticity created what he calls intimacy with his audience, prov

EP 430: Psychologist: Why The Most Successful People Want To Die with Dr. Margaret Rutherford
What if the most accomplished person you know—the CEO everyone admires, the doctor saving lives, the entrepreneur crushing their goals—is secretly researching suicide methods at 2 AM? Clinical psychologist Dr. Margaret Rutherford reveals the shocking truth behind a hidden epidemic sweeping through our success-obsessed culture: Perfectly Hidden Depression. This isn’t your typical depression. These are the people whose Instagram feeds look flawless, whose careers are soaring, whose lives seem enviable—yet they’re drowning behind their perfect facades. After 30 years as a clinical psychologist and surviving her own “decade of chaos” involving multiple marriages, panic disorder, and anorexia, Dr. Rutherford has discovered why traditional depression criteria are missing millions of high-achieving people who are silently planning their deaths. This conversation emerged from tragedy: a woman died by suicide, and her husband found Dr. Rutherford’s book “Perfectly Hidden Depression” on her bedside table. That moment sparked a global conversation that has now reached nearly 2 million people through her viral TEDx talk. Dr. Rutherford exposes how our culture has created a deadly trap where success becomes a prison. These individuals are caught in what she calls “destructive perfectionism”—like being trapped on a treadmill where you control neither the speed nor the incline, and you literally cannot get off. The Perfectionism Death Trap Unlike obvious depression symptoms, Perfectly Hidden Depression manifests through relentless achievement, being the “reliable one” everyone counts on, and an inability to be emotionally transparent. These people don’t cry openly or stay in bed—they’re running companies, chairing committees, and being the person everyone admires. The most terrifying part? Mental health professionals are missing this completely. These individuals don’t fit traditional depression criteria, leading therapists to dismiss their struggles with “you’re not depressed, maybe just a little anxious.” Dr. Rutherford distinguishes between constructive perfectionism (process-oriented and adaptable) and destructive perfectionism (where any deviation from the plan equals complete failure). The destructive type is fueled by deep shame and terror of being “found out” as imperfect. The Transparency Revolution The solution isn’t eliminating achievement—it’s learning what Dr. Rutherford calls “transparency.” Unlike vulnerability (which implies weakness), transparency is about a conscious choice to share your authentic struggle with safe people. Her own radical transparency includes openly discussing panic attacks during her viral TEDx talk (she calls her panic “Bob”), failed marriages, and eating disorders. This authenticity literally saves lives by giving others permission to admit they’re struggling behind their perfect performance. Breaking the Suicide Silence Dr. Rutherford demolishes dangerous myths, particularly that “people who talk about suicide don’t do it.” This is catastrophically false. The problem isn’t that successful people don’t talk about suicide—it’s that we’re not listening or taking their pain seriously because their lives look so perfect. Through powerful client stories, she demonstrates how the right response to someone’s deepest shame can literally lift years of burden in a single moment of authentic connection. The Path Back to Life The conversation reveals three revolutionary insights that can save lives: Emotional Transparency: Start with one safe person—share something small that feels vulnerable, then gradually build your capacity for authentic connection. Embrace the “And”: You can be both successful AND struggling, both strong AND scared. Stop living in either/or thinking that demands you choose betwee

EP 429: You’re Not A Victim – You Designed This Life with Marc Laurenson
What if every struggle, every challenge, every “unfair” thing that’s happened to you was actually chosen by your soul before you were born? Eevolutionary astrologer and founder of Sydney Astrology School, Marc Laurenson, reveals the most empowering—and controversial—truth about human existence: you are not life’s victim, you are life’s architect. From discovering astrology at age 10 (not learning it, but remembering it) to building one of Australia’s most respected astrology schools, Marc has dedicated over 30 years to helping people understand their soul’s blueprint and reclaim their power as conscious creators. This isn’t feel-good spirituality or victim-blaming philosophy. This is a revolutionary understanding of how your soul designed every experience—including trauma, illness, and loss—as sacred curriculum for your evolution. And once you grasp this truth, you can stop being at the mercy of life and start consciously redesigning your reality. Marc reveals how before birth, you sat around a “cosmic meeting table” with angels and carefully designed your life’s challenges as “sacred hurdles”—obstacles specifically created to generate your biggest evolutionary leaps. Your birth chart isn’t fortune-telling; it’s the blueprint you created, complete with the lessons you came here to master. Through profound insights, practical wisdom, and raw honesty about his own journey, Marc explores: Why you chose your family, struggles, and life circumstances before incarnating How your birth chart is actually your soul’s mission statement and growth curriculum The difference between being life’s victim versus life’s conscious creator Why “getting out of your own way” is the key to flowing toward your purpose How sickness and challenges are teachers, not punishments—and what they’re trying to tell you The current cosmic shift from perfectionism (Virgo) to flow and trust (Pisces) Why you don’t need to add anything to yourself—you need to strip away what isn’t authentic How to recognise when you’re “on track” through your emotional barometer The sacred process of moving from conditional love to self-love and universal connection Marc also addresses the hard questions: What happens if you don’t fulfill your soul’s mission? How do unconscious people still play their charts perfectly? Why do some souls choose illness as their path to awakening? Whether you’re feeling stuck in victim patterns, searching for your life’s purpose, or ready to understand why your life looks exactly as it does, this conversation will fundamentally shift how you see yourself and your circumstances. If you’ve ever wondered “Why me?” or felt powerless against life’s challenges, Marc’s insights will transform that question into “What am I here to learn?” and that powerlessness into conscious choice. About Marc Laurenson Marc Laurenson is the creator and principal teacher at Sydney Astrology School since 2007, expanding internationally online in 2017. He is an AAT (Accredited Astrology Teacher) with the Federation of Australian Astrologers and runs a thriving consultation practice with a waiting list for readings.

Why do some people experience instant healing, while others struggle for years, despite doing “everything right”? In this mind-expanding episode of The Catherine Plano Podcast, filmmaker, consciousness researcher, and spiritual teacher Caroline Cory shares the groundbreaking truth about how our thoughts, intentions, and energy shape our health, reality, and even our DNA.

Whether you’re dealing with health challenges, emotional trauma, or simply seeking to live with more awareness and alignment, this episode is a masterclass in what it means to become the conscious creator of your life.

EP 423: Why You’re Still Emotionally Stuck No Matter How Much Healing You’ve Done with Michelle Chalfant
Why do so many people feel stuck, no matter how much healing, therapy, or inner work they do? In this deeply honest and transformational episode, therapist, coach, and creator of The Adult Chair® model, Michelle Chalfant, reveals the hidden reason why so much personal development fails to create real change. With warmth, grounded wisdom, and radical compassion, Michelle shares how—despite years of therapy and self-help—most of us remain trapped in unconscious patterns because we’re healing from the wrong place within ourselves. This isn’t a conversation about working harder on yourself—it’s about understanding where within yourself you’re working from. Michelle unpacks her powerful 3 Chairs model, which explains how we move through life as our Child, Adolescent, or Adult selves. She reveals why most people live their lives emotionally from their adolescent chair—ruled by fear, ego, and survival—and how shifting into the adult chair transforms everything from relationships to self-worth to purpose. Through relatable stories, personal vulnerability, and decades of therapeutic insight, Michelle explains: Why your inner child still controls your reactions How childhood beliefs get hardwired into your subconscious roadmap The difference between people-pleasing and true compassion How to reparent your wounded parts to create emotional safety The five pillars that will radically transform your life She shares practical tools, like her trigger process for rewiring reactive patterns, how to build self-compassion that actually sticks, and how to integrate your parts to feel whole, grounded, and at peace within yourself. If you’ve ever asked yourself, “Why am I still stuck, even after all the healing I’ve done?”—this episode is a must-listen. It’s a reminder that you’re not broken. You’re simply living from a part of you that was never meant to run your life.

EP 420: I Had It All… But I Wasn’t Happy: The Hidden Cost of Success with Dr. Rangan Chatterjee
Why do so many successful people feel empty, no matter how much they achieve, grow, or give? In this deeply personal and perspective-shifting episode, physician, bestselling author, and global thought leader Dr. Rangan Chatterjee reveals the invisible cost of chasing success without inner alignment. With warmth, humility, and radical self-awareness, Rangan shares how—despite fame, bestselling books, and a top-ranked podcast—he found himself burnt out and unfulfilled, until a fundamental shift rewired his entire approach to life. This isn’t a conversation about abandoning ambition—it’s about redefining success. Rangan takes us behind the curtain of his own life to explore how cultural conditioning, childhood beliefs, and perfectionism shaped his early drive… and nearly broke him. Through stories of his father’s illness, parenting his own children, and stepping away from the “more is better” trap, he explains how presence, intention, and relationships became his new non-negotiables. He shares powerful tools like his “Write Your Own Happy Ending” exercise, the 3Fs framework for rewiring habits, and the transformative practice of solitude. These deceptively simple techniques help us step out of reactivity, align with our core values, and design lives that feel as good on the inside as they look on the outside. If you’ve ever looked around at your life and thought, “I’ve done everything I was told to do… so why don’t I feel happy?”—this episode is a must-listen. It’s a reminder that peace isn’t a destination. It’s a decision. About Dr. Rangan Chatterjee Dr. Rangan Chatterjee is one of the most widely respected and trusted voices in health and wellbeing today.

Whether he’s exploring burnout, relationships, food, or emotional regulation, his guidance always returns to the core question: What does a good life actually look like—for you? Beyond books and podcasts, Rangan teaches through real life. His own transformation—from stressed-out doctor to grounded father and joyful human being—has made him not just a messenger, but a model of what’s possible when we choose intentional living over autopilot survival.
