What if the key to deep healing and self-discovery isn’t just in the substances we take, but in how we prepare for and integrate them? In this illuminating and thought-provoking conversation, Dr. Scott Lyons sits down with somatic therapist, teacher, and author Manuela Mischke-Reeds to explore the evolving landscape of psychedelics, trauma healing, and embodiment practices. Together, they unpack the importance of preparation, integration, and the often-overlooked nuances of psychedelic experiences.

Scott and Manuela also discuss how practices like Continuum Movement, somatic awareness, and radical self-inquiry provide alternative pathways to healing and wholeness. Topics We Break Down: The difference between recreational drug use and psychedelic-assisted therapy How psychedelics can dismantle trauma patterns—and why integration is key The power of "set and setting" and how cultural context influences healing Why chasing "peak experiences" can become another form of bypassing How somatic practices like Continuum Movement can support psychedelic integration The dangers of mistaking activation for truth in trauma healing The importance of staying in inquiry and dismantling expert mindsets This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about the deeper layers of psychedelics, somatics, and the journey of self-discovery.…

How to Befriend Stress, Build Resilience & Thrive with Jeff Krasno 1:14:49

9 weeks тому1:14:49

1:14:49

What if the key to better health, deeper connections, and a more fulfilling life is actually doing hard things? In this enlightening and often humorous conversation, Dr. Scott Lyons sits down with Jeff Krasno , founder of Commune and Wanderlust , who transformed his health and life by embracing discomfort rather than avoiding it. Five years ago, Jeff was 65-70 pounds heavier and facing a diabetes diagnosis when he discovered the power of "good stress" - the kind that makes you stronger, more resilient, and more connected to others. Jeff shares his remarkable journey from being a "chubby kid" constantly relocating (11-12 times before age seven) to becoming what Scott calls "the fascia of community" - a super connector who brings people together. His childhood struggles to fit in across different countries and languages eventually became his superpower, leading him to create spaces where others could belong. Through his personal health transformation and spiritual awakening, Jeff discovered that chronic dis-ease is often the result of chronic ease - and that leaning into discomfort might be exactly what we need. From cold plunges and fasting to facilitating difficult conversations between Israeli and Palestinian students, Jeff reveals how embracing "good stress" can transform not just our physical health but our relationships and spiritual lives . As he beautifully puts it: "The true wonderful ease that we're looking for requires a degree of inconvenience." Topics We Break Down: How chronic ease leads to chronic disease The concept of "good stress" and hormetic stressors (cold, heat, fasting) Jeff's protocol that helped him lose 65 pounds and reverse diabetes Building a "psychological immune system" through difficult conversations The spiritual dimensions of practices like fasting and cold exposure Finding the space between stimulus and response as the key to personal freedom Why true ease comes from meaningful connection, not comfort…

Have you ever felt like you were following invisible rules you didn’t agree to? Do you catch yourself playing small, staying “good,” or holding back while others take up space?

Redefining Success with Laura Gassner Otting 1:04:34

1:04:34

Do you ever feel like you’re chasing success, but once you get “there,” the finish line moves again? If you’re nodding along, then this episode is for you. This week, we’re getting deep, real, and hilarious with bestselling author and keynote speaker Laura Gassner Otting (LGO)—a woman who has done it all, from working in the White House to writing books that change lives. But here’s the twist: even she has struggled with self-worth, impostor syndrome, and figuring out what success actually means. What if success isn’t about more money, more titles, or even more standing ovations? What if success is about feeling aligned with your values and choices—no matter what anyone else thinks? That’s the conversation we’re diving into today. It’s a mix of wisdom, humor, and real talk (plus a detour into drag queens, rage rooms, and why Malala might just be the best at avoiding awkward small talk). Topics We’re Breaking Down Success: Who Defines It? – Laura turns the traditional definition of success on its head. Spoiler alert: It’s not about a corner office, a million-dollar paycheck, or someone else’s approval. Why We Suck at Receiving Compliments – Laura’s personal struggle with praise, her therapist’s game-changing advice, and how you can actually accept a compliment without feeling weird. The Different Versions of Ourselves – Ever feel like you have a work-self, a home-self, and a totally different karaoke-self? Laura shares how she balances “LGO the speaker” with just being Laura, the introvert who loves bad reality TV. Success Does Not Equal Happiness – If money and power automatically made people happy, billionaires wouldn’t get divorced and celebrities wouldn’t have meltdowns. We get real about why external success is often a trap. The Everest Analogy – What climbing a mountain taught Laura about life, ambition, and why getting to the top isn’t actually the goal.…

If you’ve ever felt stuck in life, emotionally overwhelmed, or even disconnected from your own body, this conversation is a must-listen.

Are you curious about how movement can be a catalyst for change in your life? Erica invites us to look beyond structured exercise and tune into our bodies’ natural rhythms and movements – like the way we sit, walk, or even breathe. She reminds us that movement starts with the smallest, simplest gestures, and that even when we feel trapped in old patterns, moving our bodies can unlock a path to emotional freedom. Together with Dr. Scott Lyons, Erica shares how our earliest movements – crawling, rolling, and even rocking – shape the way we interact with the world and how we can return to these roots to shift stuck energy. They talk about how reconnecting with play and spontaneity can help us break free of rigid thinking and foster more flexibility in body and mind. Erica offers practical ways to get started: maybe it’s leaning against a wall and letting go for a moment, exploring playful twirling, or simply noticing how our bodies react when we’re tense.

Whether through mindful practices, body awareness, or gentle movement prompts, the deck offers guidance for tuning into and transforming your physical experience. If you’ve ever thought, “I’m not a dancer,” Erica reassures you: movement is for everyone. Healing through movement isn’t about choreography; it’s about reconnecting with yourself, one step at a time. So, whether you’re someone who struggles with anxiety, feels stuck in their daily routine, or just wants to reconnect with their playful side, this episode holds something for you. Let’s get moving! Topics We Break Down: What is dance and movement therapy, really? The disconnect between movement and traditional exercise. How movement can heal trauma and reconnect us with our bodies. The role of play and spontaneity in finding emotional freedom. Practical tools to integrate movement into your daily life. Using movement to explore and shift anxiety and tension.
