In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, Melissa sits down with psychologist Dr. Barbara Minton to explore the powerful intersection of neuroscience and music. With more than 30 years of experience in mental health innovation, Barbara’s latest work focuses on how the brain mirrors musical patterns, and how specially designed compositions can help regulate the nervous system, reduce chronic pain, ease insomnia, and calm stress. This conversation goes beyond the idea of music as entertainment and dives into how sound can be intentionally created to shift brain states and support real, measurable healing. You’ll learn: • How the brain mimics the rhythms and structures in music • What brain imaging reveals about stress, pain, and insomnia when exposed to healing music • How “Calm the Storm” was created to support nervous system regulation • Why music works as more than entertainment - it can be a measurable healing tool • Practical ways you can use music right now to improve sleep and emotional well-being Where to Find Dr. Barbara Minton: Website: https://musicandhealing.net LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbara-minton-057957164/ FIND MELISSA ON WEBSITES: ⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠ ⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠ ON SOCIALS MYOK on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠ #MindYourOwnKarma #SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #MelissaBrunetti #BarbaraMinton #Neuroscience #MusicAndHealing #BrainHealth #ChronicPainRelief #StressRelief #SleepHealing #TraumaHealing #EmotionalRegulation #HealingWithMusic #CalmTheStorm

Trigger warnings: addiction and self-harm. What if healing didn’t have to feel intense… oroverwhelming… or like you’re forcing your way through it? In this episode, I’m joined by Christian Rasmussen,researcher and founder of Amentara, who is helping bring Amanita muscaria into the modern healing conversation in a grounded and responsible way. This is not your typical plant medicine discussion. We’re talking about a completely different relationship to healing, one that works with your nervous system instead of pushing it past its limits. We explore how Amanita has been used historically, what’s actually happening in the body, and why it’s gaining attention right now in a world where so many people feel chronically dysregulated. If you’ve ever been curious about plant medicine buthesitant about intensity, safety, or losing control, this conversation opens a very different door. In this episode, you’ll learn: What Amanita muscaria is and how it differs from other plant medicines How it supports the nervous system instead of overstimulating it The history and traditional use of Amanita Why this medicine is resurfacing right now How suppressed emotions can come up gently and safely The connection between Amanita, dreams, and intuition What responsible use, preparation, and integration really look like How this fits into a modern healing journey  WHERE TO FIND CHRISTIAN RASMUSSEN www.amentara.com https://www.instagram.com/R.Christian.R https://www.instagram.com/amentara.shop https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmQ8Ta3Zz5rfOVRHYY1driQ https://www.theamanitaeffect.com/ https://x.com/MNNiceEthno   FIND MELISSA ⁠⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠⁠ MYOK on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠⁠ #MindYourOwnKarma SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #ChristianRasmussen #MelissaBrunetti #AmanitaMuscaria #PlantMedicineHealing #NervousSystemHealing #TraumaHealingTools #AlternativeHealing #HolisticHealing #AncientMedicine #SpiritualHealing#PsychedelicEducation #IntegrationWork

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond theBandage, I sit down with internationally acclaimed performance coach and founder of the Metcalfe Method, Dan Metcalfe. After surviving a spinal injuryand brain trauma that would sideline most people forever, Dan rebuilt himself using the very techniques he now teaches. Through the lens of neuroscience, emotional intelligence and holistic movement, Dan explains why most healing journeys stay stuck — and what to do instead. We explore his 7 Pillars of Natural Health and how they help people transition from pain and survival to connection, power, and healing. If you’re feeling out of sync with your body, exhausted by mindset work that doesn’t stick, or curious how movement and brain integration can spark deep healing, this one’s for you.

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma – Beyond the Bandage, Melissa sits down with Dr. Nicole and Professor Michael Sebastian—the mystic minds behind the Divine Guidance Institute—to explore the ancient and universal sound of HU. You’ll learn how this simple, sacred vibration connects us to divine intelligence, activates intuition, and creates harmony in mind, body, and spirit. From the couple’s extraordinary “dream meeting” that started it all, to their decades of research on the mechanics of divine communication, this episode reveals how sound becomes a bridge between science and spirituality.

What if meditation was treated like brushing your teeth—not as a luxury, but as daily maintenance for a healthy mind? In this episode, Melissa talks with Veronica Moya, a children’s meditation teacher, author, and founder of Mindful V, about how mindfulness helps kids buildconfidence, resilience and emotional intelligence from the inside out. From debunking myths about meditation to sharing practical tools parents can start using today, Veronica shows us that it’s never too early—or too late—to nurture inner peace.

High performers are often praised for their composure — even while their nervous systems are running in survival mode behind the scenes. In this episode, Mitchell Weisburgh joins Melissa Brunetti to explore how chronic stress and reactivity shape leadership, decision-making, and relationships — and what it takes to retrain the brain for calm, clarity, and collaboration. Rather than relying on mindset tricks or willpower, this conversation looks at nervous-system patterns, emotional regulation, and practical ways leaders can respond instead of react. In this episode, you’ll learn: • What “emotional survival mode” actually looks like in everyday leadership • How chronic stress quietly hijacks decision-making and relationships • Why resilience, creativity, and collaboration are trainable skills • The difference between mindset hacks and nervous-system retraining • How survival mode impacts communication at work and at home • Simple ways leaders can interrupt reactivity without slowing down • How teams get stuck in collective survival mode — and how to shift it • Where to start if you’re successful but chronically taxed WHERE TO FIND MITCHELL WEISBURGH: Website: https://www.mindshiftingwithmitch.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/weisburghm/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mweisburgh/ Books: MindShifting: Stop Your Brain from Sabotaging Your Happiness and Success https://a.co/d/242NDWd MindShifting: Conflict and Collaboration Courses: https://events.humanitix.com/host/mitchell-weisburgh FIND MELISSA: https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com https://www.mindyourownkarma.com emailto:[email protected] MYOK on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠⁠ #MindYourOwnKarma #SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #MitchellWeisburgh #NervousSystem #EmotionalRegulation #BurnoutRecovery #StressManagement #CalmLeadership #HighPerformers #LeadershipDevelopment #TraumaInformedLeadership #Resilience #SelfAwareness #EmotionalIntelligence #Neuroscience #Psychology #WorkplaceWellbeing #Collaboration #sustainablesuccess

Burnout isn’t just about working too much, it’s about living in survival mode for too long. In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, I sit down with clinical hypnotherapist and somatic regulation coach Garrett Wood. Garrett helps high-achieving, high-masking professionals break free from the boom-and-bust cycle of burnout by integrating subconscious reprogramming, sensory intelligence, and body-based tools. We explore the real science behind hypnotherapy, the myths that keep people skeptical, and how automatic stress responses can be updated in real time. Garrett also shares how his work helps clients align health, wealth, and relationships without burning out in the process. What You’ll Learn in This Episode • The biggest misconceptions about hypnotherapy, and what it actually is • How somatic regulation tools can shift automatic responses in the moment • Why high achievers are especially prone to burnout • The seven performance domains Garrett evaluates and how they impact burnout, success, and relationships • How subconscious beliefs and attachment patterns shape health and connection • Practical ways to align health, wealth, and relationships without sacrificing one for another WHERE TO FIND GARRETT WOOD Website: https://www.gnosistherapy.com/about Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gnosistherapy/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gnosistherapy/ FIND MELISSA ON WEBSITES: ⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠ ⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠ ON SOCIALS: MYOK on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠ #MindYourOwnKarma #SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #Hypnotherapy #SomaticRegulation #Burnout #BurnoutRecovery#SubconsciousReprogramming #HighAchievers #NervousSystemHealing #HolisticHealing #TraumaInformedCare

In this powerful episode, Melissa sits down with Lora Cheadle —a betrayal recovery coach, intuitive channel, and author — whose life cracked wide open after discovering her husband’s long-term infidelity. What could have destroyed her became the doorway to deep healing, embodiment, and spiritual awakening. Together, they explore how betrayal, burnout, and breakdowns aren’t the end of the story, but invitations into truth, sovereignty, and wholeness. You’ll hear: How betrayal rupture’s identity and why insight alone isn’t enough to heal itWho the Librarians are and the messages they’re bringing through right nowThe difference between soul-growth pain and unnecessary sufferingWhy smart, spiritual people often miss betrayal signs—and how to release shameWhy the body must be included in rebuilding trust after rupture This is more than a conversation about relationships—it’sa conversation about remembering who you are after everything you thought was solid falls away.

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma – Beyond theBandage, I sit down with Dr. Fawad Mian, a board-certifiedneurologist, regenerative medicine specialist, and founder of Vitality Integrative Wellness, to challenge one of the most common narratives around aging and pain—that chronic pain after 50 is inevitable and must be managed with medications or surgery.   After experiencing multiple injuries himself and being toldthose were his only options, Dr. Mian chose a different path. Through regenerative therapies like PRP and stem cells, combined with detailed diagnostics and a unique approach to re-movement, he healed his own body—and built a practice centered on helping others do the same.   This conversation is for anyone who feels dismissed, rushed,or stuck in the cycle of symptom management. We talk about why pain becomes chronic, what’s often missed in traditional care, and how the body’s capacity to heal doesn’t simply disappear with age. What you’ll learn in this episode: Why chronic pain is not “just part of getting older”How regenerative medicine works at the tissue and nervous system level What PRP and stem cell therapies actually do inside the body How Dr. Mian evaluates the root cause of pain, not just where it hurts What re-movement is and why exercise alone often isn’t enough How to know if regenerative medicine may be right for you The questions to ask so you can make informed, confident decisions Why hope and healing are still possible well beyond 50 Where to find Dr. Fawad Mian: Website: https://prolohealing.com/ Website: https://www.advocareneurowellnessmd.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@prolohealing LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fawad-mian-40aaaa150/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/prolohealingmedspa/ Book: Getting to Pain Free: How to Make Your Body Stop Hurting So You Can Start Living Without Drugs or Surgery https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D46W27T5 FIND MELISSA ON WEBSITES: ⁠https://www.somatichealingjourneys.com⁠ ⁠https://www.mindyourownkarma.com⁠ ON SOCIALS MYOK on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/mind_your_own_karma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/mindyourownkarma⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ MYOK on YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@MindYourOwnKarma⁠⁠ This episode is for educational purposes only and is notintended as medical advice. #MindYourOwnKarma #SomaticMindfulGuidedImagery #SMGI #SomaticHealingJourneys #RegenerativeMedicine #ChronicPainRecovery #StemCellTherapy #PRPTherapy #NeurologyMeetsHealing #HealingWithoutMeds #MovementReeducation #PainFreeLiving #Over50AndThriving#AlternativeHealingModalities #RootCauseHealing #HighPerformanceHealing #HolisticNeurology #DrFawadMian #MindBodyMedicine #PainIsNotYourNormal #ChronicPain

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, Melissa sits down with Jose Mendoza, a Doctor of Chinese Energetic Medicine, who began his career as a cardiovascular specialist before realizing that true healing required more than procedures and prescriptions. Jose shares how Chinese Energetic Medicine treats the whole person — physical, energetic, and spiritual — helping clients release trauma, dissolve old patterns, and reconnect with who they really are. You’ll discover: • How Chinese Energetic Medicine differs from acupuncture, reiki, and other modalities. • Why true healing requires addressing body, energy, and spirit together. • How this work helps release trauma and transform old patterns at the root. • Whether Chinese Energetic Medicine can be done remotely-or only in person. • What it means to remove “blockages” to health and authenticity. • Jose’s journey from hospital procedures to holistic transformation.

What if your life isn’t broken, it’s just built on a story that’s ready to be rewritten? In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, Melissa sits down with bestselling author and narrative coach Carrie KC West to explore how the stories we inherit, absorb, and create can either trap us or set us free. With her rare blend of MFA-level storytelling mastery, psychology training, and somatic healing techniques, Carrie reveals how we can identify the old scripts we’ve been living by and start writing a new chapter that’s aligned, empowered, and deeply authentic. You’ll learn • what “rewriting your story” actually means (and why it’s more than just positive thinking). • how to recognize if you’re living from an old, inherited, or trauma-based narrative. • why the body holds onto painful or outdated stories-and how to release them. • how narrative coaching blends story craft, psychology, and somatic awareness for real change. • a simple story-mapping tool you can use today to find where you’re stuck and what your next chapter could be.

In this episode of Mind Your Own Karma: Beyond the Bandage, I sit down with life and mindset coach Dalia Kemble, who helps women who identify as the “black sheep” reclaim their power, break free from societal expectations, and build confidence rooted in embodiment rather than performance. With a master’s in psychology and organizational behavior and development, Dalia blends introspection, emotional healing, and strategy through her signature G.A.M.E. Method to help high-achieving women rewrite their stories and live in alignment with who they truly are. We explore what it really means to be a black sheep, howsuppressed emotions show up in the body, and why surface-level confidence often leaves women feeling empty or exhausted. Dalia shares tangible tools for calming the inner critic, trusting your internal compass, and choosing courageover conformity. This conversation is for anyone who is done playing by the “shoulds” and ready to build a life that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside. In this episode, you’ll learn: What it truly means to be the “black sheep” and why embracing it can be empowering How suppressed emotions manifest physically and emotionally The difference between surface-level confidence and embodied confidence Why high-achieving women often feel unfulfilled Signs you’re living someone else’s story How to begin rewriting your own life narrative A breakdown of Dalia’s G.A.M.E.

Together they explore: Why Western psychology often misinterprets trauma and spiritual awakeningWhat it looks like to center lived experience rather than diagnosisHow “symptoms” can act as signals, messengers, and invitationsThe overlap of identity, spirituality, and the body’s own wisdomWhy witnessing someone can be more transformative than trying to fix themThe urgent need to rethink outdated medical and social practicesThe humanity and divinity in Sean/a’s extraordinary story Dr. Kirsten Viola Harrison is a trauma psychologist, academic, and soul-centered healer with over 25 years of experience working with people whose lives sit at the crossroads of mental health, spirituality, and identity.
