The Healing Blueprint

The I Ching has been used for thousands of years as a source of insight, perspective, and guidance through the inevitable changes of life.In this episode, I sit down with Adam Bauer to explore this ancient system and the way it has shaped his life since he first discovered it as a teenager. We talk about learning to work with change rather than against it, letting go of the need to control what comes next, and becoming more aware of what life may be asking of us.Whether you've worked with the I Ching for years or have never heard of it before, this conversation offers another perspective on how we navigate uncertainty, respond to life's challenges, and find our own way forward.To learn more about Adam, his I Ching work, individual sessions, trainings, and upcoming immersion in Hawaii, visit imadambauer.com.For comments on this episode or to learn more about your host, JIll Briansky, please visit www.purplelotus.healthListeners of The Healing Blueprint can receive 10% off at TheSweetTooth.com with code HEALING.

What if self-care isn't about doing more, but about remembering who you are?In this episode, Dr. Vanessa Lee returns to The Healing Blueprint to explore why so many of us put ourselves last and what that does to our bodies. Together, we unpack the connection between chronic stress, cortisol, burnout, and the subtle ways our bodies let us know we've drifted too far from ourselves.This conversation goes beyond bubble baths and self-care checklists. We talk about reconnecting with what brings you joy, recognizing the early warning signs of burnout, and finding simple ways to support your nervous system throughout the day without adding more to an already overwhelming schedule.If you've been feeling exhausted, running on autopilot, or wondering why you don't quite feel like yourself anymore, this episode is a gentle reminder that your body isn't working against you—it's trying to guide you back.Connect with Dr. Vanessa Lee:Website: Voted BEST Port Coquitlam Naturopathic Doctor | Dr. Vanessa Lee, NDGuided Meditations: Home - Unfolding StillnessFor more information on your host, Jill Briansky, please visit www.purplelotus.healthListeners of The Healing Blueprint can receive 10% off at TheSweetTooth.com with code HEALING.

Yoga is often reduced to poses, flexibility, and what happens on the mat. But the physical practice is only one piece of something much larger.In this episode, Jill talks with Jordan Lashley, founder of Burning Wheel Yoga, about the philosophy underneath the practice and what yoga can teach us about how we live. Their conversation moves through truth and perception, suffering, personal responsibility, attachment, relationships, and the willingness to question what we believe about ourselves and the world around us.This is a conversation about yoga, but it’s also about what happens when we stop waiting for something outside of us to change and begin looking at how we are showing up in our own lives.Jordan is the author of There Is No Me and founder of Burning Wheel Yoga.To learn more about Jordan, his classes, and his work, visit Burning Wheel Yoga at burningwheelyoga.com.To connect with Jill Briansky please visit purplelotus.healthListeners of The Healing Blueprint can receive 10% off at TheSweetTooth.com with code HEALING.

Tai Chi Gung is more than a series of gentle movements—it's a practice that brings together breath, movement, and awareness to help quiet the mind, reconnect with the body, and cultivate a greater sense of peace.In this episode, Brian Kraby shares how a daily Tai Chi Gung practice transformed his own life, why breath is central to the practice, and how slowing down can change the way we respond to stress. We also explore the connection between nature, movement, energy, and the role of consistency in creating lasting change.To connect with Brian or learn more about his classes:Website: https://bargsmeadow-tai-chi-gung.comInstagram: @crabstaichigung

Addiction doesn't just affect one person—it touches entire families. But recovery is about far more than overcoming a substance. It's about rediscovering who you are beneath the pain.In this episode, Jill sits down with Lori McCarthy, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Herren Wellness, to explore a compassionate, whole-person approach to addiction and recovery. Lori shares her own recovery journey, explains why shame has no place in healing, and discusses how families can recover together—not just the individual.Together, they talk about why recovery is really about connection, self-awareness, accountability without shame, and creating a place where people feel safe enough to become themselves again.To learn more about Herren Wellness, visit www.heronwellness.com.For more information on your host, Jill Briansky, please go to www.purplelotus.health
