Follow me on Instagram here. Sylvia Wolfer. Across different stages of her life, Sylvia Wolfer experienced profound and sudden loss, including the deaths of her parents and two brothers. For years, she lived with unprocessed grief—appearing functional on the outside while internally bracing for impact, governed by grief triggers and a constant sense of threat. Everyday experiences like reading, sitting in cafés, or trusting a calm day felt impossible. When her older brother died in a car accident years later, this moment became a turning point. Through neuroscience, mindfulness, emotional literacy, and mindful movement (Pilates), she began to understand grief not as something to "get over," but as something that can be lived with—without losing more of one's life to pain. Today, Sylvia's work focuses on helping others develop awareness, presence, and supportive daily practices so grief has space, but not total power. In this episode, she reframes grief as a human, navigable experience—one that can lead to steadiness, agency, and a deeper connection to life rather than ongoing survival mode. Reach her here.

Follow me on Instagram here! Adriene Caldwell is a force of resilience, healing, and truth. As a former foster youth—a group of whom less than 3% attend college and 20% later enter the U.S. prison system—Adriene defied every statistic and expectation. Her life story, marked by profound trauma including abuse, sexual assault, homelessness, untreated mental illness, and foster care brutality, is not shared for shock value, but to offer real, grounded hope to anyone fighting their way out of darkness. Her book Unbroken carries one of the most extensive trigger warning lists you'll ever see, reflecting the depth of what she survived: emotional and physical abuse, pedophilia, extreme poverty, bulimia, violence, suicide, incest, and the drowning death of a child. Yet within that darkness is a fierce, unyielding light—a determination not just to survive but to thrive. Adriene's story reveals what it truly means to reclaim your life, your voice, and your future, even when the world refuses to play savior. This episode is gripping, vulnerable, and deeply human. It challenges listeners to look beyond labels of "trauma" and "brokenness" and witness the extraordinary strength it takes to rise again. Adriene's message is clear: no matter how cruel life can be, there is always hope—and healing is possible. Get more Adriene here!
Follow me on Instagram here! Today's guest is Sean Blackwell, author of Bipolar Awakenings: The Quest to Heal Bipolar Disorder, a thought leader redefining how we understand mental health, trauma, and spiritual transformation. For over a decade, Sean has shared his personal journey and taught others through his YouTube channel and international retreats, helping people explore the intersection of psychology, consciousness, and awakening. Sean challenges the mainstream psychiatric model that views bipolar disorder as a lifelong, biologically based mental illness. Instead, he presents a compelling perspective: that many bipolar experiences may be misunderstood spiritual emergence processes rooted in unresolved trauma. Through this lens, extreme psychological states such as mania or psychosis are not random breakdowns, but the psyche's attempt to heal through the body's natural bio-energetic intelligence. We dive deep into the somatic and energetic foundations of bipolar disorder, including the role of kundalini energy, the chakra system, and insights from transpersonal psychology pioneer Dr. Stanislav Grof. Sean explains how trauma can create bio-energetic blockages within the subtle body—and how the release of this stored energy can trigger powerful psychological and spiritual experiences often mislabeled as pathology. Sean also shares the origins of the Bipolar Awakenings Healing Retreat and his trauma-release modality, Bipolar Breathwork, adapted from Holotropic Breathwork training. Through moving client stories, he illustrates how addressing trauma at the energetic level has led to profound healing, reduced hospitalization, freedom from chronic pain, and in some cases, complete independence from psychiatric medication. This episode offers a radical reframe of bipolar disorder—from a life sentence to a call for deep inner healing—and invites listeners to consider how our greatest breakdowns may hold the seeds of our most meaningful spiritual breakthroughs.

Follow me on Instagram here. Dr. Nigel Brayer, DC, Ph.C., FIAMA, is a pioneer in Natural Medicine and a leading voice in women's urinary health. As the creator of the Iron Clad Bladder System, he developed a drug-free approach to urinary incontinence that blends neurological insights with Traditional Chinese Medicine. His mission is to provide women with safe, effective solutions for bladder health that go beyond temporary fixes and empower them to regain their freedom and confidence. Dr. Brayer's journey to becoming the "Natural Bladder Doctor" wasn't something he planned—it began with his wife, Brandi. An active and adventurous couple, they loved biking, hiking, camping, and exploring the outdoors together. But after the birth of their son, Brandi slowly began retreating from the activities they once cherished. At first, it seemed like the fatigue of new motherhood, but over time it became clear something deeper was going on. The turning point came one evening when Brandi tearfully revealed she had been struggling in silence with urinary incontinence. What started as occasional leaks had progressed to frequent bathroom trips, liners, and failed attempts with strengthening exercises. This hidden struggle not only limited her daily life but also took a toll on her confidence and joy. Dr. Brayer realized he wasn't just searching for answers for Brandi—he was uncovering a widespread issue affecting countless women. Through his research, Dr. Brayer discovered that the missing link often overlooked in Western medicine lay within the ancient practices of Traditional Chinese Medicine. By exploring concepts like chi, yin and yang, and energy flow, he developed a simple yet powerful technique to help restore the brain-bladder connection. When Brandi began applying this method, she noticed profound improvements. Soon, his patients were experiencing relief as well—some even achieving full resolution of incontinence within a few months. But as he continued his work, Dr. Brayer identified another layer of complexity. Relapses often occurred during menstrual cycles or times of high stress. This led him back to his roots in neuroanatomy, where he explored the balance between the parasympathetic nervous system (rest, healing, restoration) and the sympathetic nervous system (fight-or-flight). By addressing this critical connection, he refined the Iron Clad Bladder System into a comprehensive, holistic approach that continues to change lives today. Now, Dr. Brayer is on a mission to share his knowledge and help women everywhere take their first steps toward freedom from urinary incontinence. His innovative approach shows that healing is possible without medications or surgery—through natural methods that honor both the body and mind. Get more of Dr. Nigel Brayer here.

Follow me at Instagram here. In this solo episode of The Open Heart Healing Podcast, I'm exploring a theme that is both beautiful and challenging: the art of beginning again. We often think of new beginnings as a one-time event, but the truth is, life is full of opportunities to start fresh. Whether it's in a new career, a new relationship, or a new phase of our personal growth, the chance to begin again is always there. I dive into why this can be so difficult for us. We might feel like we've failed, or we might be too attached to the way things were. But I want to challenge that mindset. Each new beginning is not a sign of failure but a chance for a do-over, a way to realign with our true selves and what truly matters. It's an act of courage and self-compassion. This episode is a conversation about the beauty of second chances and the importance of forgiving ourselves for past mistakes. It's a reminder that we don't have to be perfect; we just have to be willing to start over. I share my own experiences with beginning again and offer some practical ways you can embrace this powerful cycle in your own life. If you've been feeling stuck, or if you simply need permission to start again whenever you want, this episode is for you. Join me as we explore how to let go of the past, embrace the present, and step into the endless possibilities that come with a fresh start.
