  • Can Trauma Secretly Be Blocking Your Success? | With Therapist Dino Paris
    Feb 19 2026

    Send a text

    What if the ceiling on your career, creativity, or relationships isn’t a skill gap—but an unhealed story living in your body? We sit down with Portland therapist Dino Paris, who brings 40 years of trauma work to a deeply human conversation about performance, joy, and the nervous system. Dino started in finance, burned out on meaning, and found his way into counseling where he discovered something simple and profound: when people feel safe and truly seen, healing accelerates and burnout fades.

    We unpack the quiet power of small "t" trauma and neglect—the micro-moments that shape a lifelong identity of “not enough.” Dino maps a clear flow from old wounds to negative beliefs to constrained choices, then shows how to reverse it: release the charge, plant better thoughts, restore calm, and watch the outer world mirror the inner shift. He explains why thought alone can’t settle fight or flight, how breath and pacing create safety, and why building rapport is non-negotiable when emotions surface during bodywork or therapy.

    If you’re ready to trade survival for joy and turn old patterns into new capacity, press play. Then share this with someone who needs hope today, subscribe for more grounded, practical healing conversations, and leave a review to tell us what landed most.

  • Does Narcissistic Abuse Impact Your Health?
    Feb 13 2026

    Send a text

    Your body remembers what your mind couldn’t name. We explore how narcissistic abuse leaves a somatic footprint—chronic pain without clear injury, IBS and gut distress, bone-deep fatigue, and sleep that turns into a nightly replay of threat—and why these patterns persist even after you leave the relationship, workplace, or community that caused the harm. Drawing from clinical experience, trauma texts, and hard-won personal insight, we break down the science of implicit memory, nervous system dysregulation, and the gut-brain axis to show how hypervigilance becomes a full-body habit.

    We get practical about what the body is trying to say through jaw clenching, shoulder bracing, and lower back pain, and how to respond with tools that rebalance the autonomic nervous system. You’ll hear how chronic sympathetic activation fuels cortisol surges, microbiome shifts, and mitochondrial slowdown, and why shame quietly locks these changes in place. We also unpack the addiction loop of love-bombing and withdrawal, the rumination spiral that hijacks sleep, and the identity collapse that happens when you stop living the story a narcissistic system wrote for you and start living your own.

  • Health from the Inside Out: How to Create Transformation that Lasts
    Jan 8 2026

    Send a text

    Feeling battered by January advice wars and “one perfect plan” promises? Here’s a calmer, truer way to build real health in 2026: trust your intuition, upgrade your identity, and let simple, aligned actions stack into lasting change. Tabitha MacDonald, Intuitive Coach and Bodyworker, opens with a raw look at living through ulcerative proctitis, weight gain, and the coping strategies that once felt like survival. From there, we map two shores—your current reality and your Transformation Island—and explore why most plans stall in the river between them: resistance, fear of change, and old family rules that keep you “safe” in the familiar.

    The 5-Step Intuitive Health Reset

    1. Create a felt vision of health - Define what health looks and feels like in your body—not just how it looks. How you move, rest, eat, think, and play when your body feels steady, safe, and strong.
    2. Assess your current reality - Look at where you are today with curiosity instead of judgment. Awareness—not guilt—is what creates change.
    3. Identify and rate resistance - Bring hidden resistance into the light and measure it, so it can be worked with rather than fought against.
    4. Recode outdated survival strategies - Use a superconscious recode to release old coping patterns and install safety, choice, and coherence.
    5. Take one aligned next step - Ask your intuition for the next aligned action—and take it, even if it feels almost too simple to matter.

    Along the way, Tabitha explores why diets fail without an identity shift, how intuition guides you to t

  • Making Holidays Magical
    Dec 22 2025

    Send a text

    When tradition collides with real life, the holidays can crack open all our stress, grief, and expectations. We set out to change that narrative by choosing a new end result—connection, gratitude, and wonder—and letting those feelings lead how we show up, rather than letting anxiety and perfectionism set the script. Through candid stories of plans derailed and mornings spent alone, we walk a compassionate, practical path to a season that feels honest and still deeply magical.

    If this resonated, tap follow, share it with someone who needs it, and leave a quick review—it helps more people find these tools and create holidays on their terms. What feeling are you choosing to lead with this week?

  • Could Generosity be the Cure to Suffering?
    Dec 16 2025

    Send a text

    What if generosity isn’t about money, but about how freely we offer time, attention, and presence when it’s least convenient? A late, anxious pull into a hospital parking lot turns into a masterclass on dropping judgment and choosing service—and it sets the stage for a deeper dive into how greed and miserliness quietly run our lives. We trace the subtle difference: greed reaches outward for more, miserliness clamps inward in fear. You’ll learn how both show up in the body and why the holidays amplify them.

    We bring the Enneagram into focus with practical, compassionate insights for all nine types.

    A surprising lesson lands through a spoon-bending exercise: when we stop trying to control outcomes and let energy move through us, service becomes lighter and more effective. We pair story with tools—breathwork, appreciation, sensory grounding, and small acts of service—to bring you back to the only moment that matters. As the season swells with comparison and urgency, we return to what lasts: laughter in the kitchen, help freely offered, and the courage to be seen as we are.

  • Your Soul Has a Mission
    Nov 12 2025

    Send a text

    The difference between life purpose and a soul mission can feel subtle until it changes everything. Purpose is the daily practice of becoming more loving and sovereign. A soul mission is the sacred assignment that feels too big, too risky, and somehow exactly right. I share how a string of intuitive nudges—some arriving at the most ordinary moments—pushed me beyond a successful clinic and into the messier, braver work of building something that didn’t yet exist. Along the way, I got lost in branding detours, wrestled with timelines that made me miserable, and learned to trust guidance that paid in faith long before it paid in cash.

    To keep the work light and brave, I invite you to think like an undercover agent of light. You only ever get part of the brief, and that’s by design. Each of us carries a piece of a cosmic puzzle; when you place yours—through a podcast, a painting, a business, or the way you love your family—someone else can finally place theirs. If your heart lit up reading this, that spark is enough to begin. Hit play, grab your Enneagram type, and step toward the thing that scares and excites you. If this conversation moved you, subscribe, leave a review, and share it with a friend who needs the nudge. Your piece matters.

  • What If Pain Is Your Body Remembering What Your Mind Forgot: A Conversation with Jason Marvin
    Nov 7 2025

    Send a text

    What if persistent pain is your body remembering what your mind forgot? We sit down with physical therapist and intuitive practitioner Jason Marvin to trace his journey from the high-volume “mill” model to a grounded, whole-person practice where structure, energy, emotion, and spirit work together. Jason shares the health crash that forced him to rethink everything—mysterious weight loss, headaches, and exhaustion that standard tests couldn’t explain—and the simple question that changed his path: are you carrying other people’s stuff?

    We dive into energetic responsibility for both clients and clinicians: how to sense your boundaries, avoid merging, and keep sessions from draining your life force. Jason breaks down somatoemotional release and multi-hand work, explaining why the body often lets go of physical layers before emotion because safety comes first. He walks through a clear way to find the true primary driver of pain—testing structure, energy, mental patterns, and emotion—so treatment finally sticks instead of looping back.

    If you’re a practitioner, you’ll learn to let healing flow through you rather than from you, protecting your health and amplifying results. If you’re a patient, you’ll gain tools to ground, clear, and call your energy back so your body can finally heal. Listen, share with a friend who needs a reframe, and subscribe for more conversations that reconnect you to your own center.
