- 530 - The Hidden Power of Your Voice (Most People Ignore This) | John Di Domenico
What if one of your most powerful tools for connection, confidence, and self-expression is something you've barely thought about
?Your voice is with you in nearly every meaningful conversation of your life. Yet most of us spend far more time thinking about how we look than how we sound.
In this episode of The Mindful Movement Podcast, Les Raymond welcomes John Di Domenico, a renowned celebrity impressionist, entertainer, and voice expert whose career has included appearances on Conan O'Brien, Howard Stern, Jimmy Kimmel, and other major shows.
John shares his remarkable journey from a childhood speech impediment and eight years of speech therapy to a successful career bringing famous voices to life. Now, after decades of becoming other people, he's turning his attention toward helping people discover and develop their own authentic voices.
Together, Les and John explore the relationship between voice, identity, breath, nervous system regulation, and human connection. They discuss why hearing your recorded voice can feel so unfamiliar, how small changes in vocal expression may improve communication, and why humming and singing can be such meaningful practices for emotional well-being.John also shares practical exercises you can try to become more aware of your voice and communicate with greater ease.
In this conversation:
- Why your voice may be one of your most overlooked communication tools
- How John's childhood speech impediment shaped his extraordinary career
- Why your recorded voice sounds different from the voice you hear when speaking
- How pitch, pacing, tone, and articulation influence communication
- The relationship between breath, voice, and emotional expression
- Why humming, chanting, and singing can feel calming and restorative-
John's five-minute vocal warm-up routine
- Simple tongue twisters and articulation exercises
- How to become more aware of filler words and use pauses confidently
- The role of voice in relationships, attraction, and everyday conversations
- What professional impersonation taught John about vocal control
- The growing influence of AI-generated voices and the importance of human connection
- Why it's never too late to learn, grow, and develop new abilities

A question for you:Have you ever listened to a recording of your own voice and been surprised by how you sound? Or noticed how someone's tone of voice can immediately change the way you feel?
We'd love to hear your experience in the comments.
Thank you for being part of The Mindful Movement community. We hope this conversation encourages you to become more curious about your voice and the ways it can support authentic connection

Sat, 07 Nov 2026 - 1h 04min - 529 - Are You Carrying Trauma That Isn't Yours? | Isabella Skrypczak
What if some of the fears, beliefs, and patterns shaping your life began long before you were born?
In this conversation, Les Raymond welcomes Isabella “Iza” Skrypczak, author of "A Polish Girl in Siberia: Surviving and Transcending Exile", for a thought-provoking exploration of generational trauma, family history, emotional healing, and the stories we inherit.I za shares the extraordinary story of her grandmother, who was deported to Siberia as a six-year-old during World War II. Despite surviving starvation, forced labor, and displacement, and later building a remarkable medical career, her grandmother's experiences continued to shape family life in ways that Iza only came to understand years later.
Together, Les and Iza explore:
- How experiences of war, displacement, and scarcity can influence family patterns across generations
- Why we may experience fear or insecurity even when our present circumstances are safe
- The relationship between family narratives, identity, and our sense of belonging
- Les's personal reflections on food security and his family's history
- What epigenetics can and cannot tell us about inherited stress
- Iza's approach to ancestral healing through somatic practices, visualization, inner child work, and energy-based modalities
- How cultural narratives can shape our beliefs about ourselves and others
- Why questioning inherited stories can be uncomfortable and liberating
- The role of self-awareness, compassion, and personal responsibility in interrupting cycles of conflict
- How small individual changes might contribute to greater understanding between people and communities
One of the most powerful questions in this conversation is whether everything we carry truly belongs to us. While the science of intergenerational trauma is still developing, and some of the spiritual and energetic interpretations discussed reflect Iza's personal approach rather than established scientific findings, this conversation offers an invitation to explore your family history with curiosity and compassion.

Sat, 31 Oct 2026 - 1h 12min - 528 - Can Breathwork Help You Release Emotions You've Been Holding? | Jamie Janko
What if your breath could help you find calm, process emotions, and experience yourself in an entirely different way?
Most of us breathe without thinking about it. Yet the way we breathe can influence how we feel, how we respond to stress, and how connected we feel to ourselves.
In this conversation, Les Raymond sits down with Jamie Janko, founder of Rewild Breathwork, to explore the spectrum of breathwork, from simple everyday breathing practices to deeper conscious connected breathwork experiences.
Jamie shares how burnout and chronic stress led her away from a successful career in Major League Baseball and toward a new understanding of the nervous system, emotional well-being, and the power of the breath.
Together, Les and Jamie explore:
- How chronic stress can go unnoticed, even when you love your work
- The relationship between breathing patterns, physical tension, and nervous system regulation
- Why paying attention to your exhale may help you settle during stressful moments
- Simple breathing techniques for calming yourself or improving focus
- How habitual bracing and holding in the belly may affect breathing
- What conscious connected breathwork is and how it differs from everyday breathing practices
- Why some people experience strong emotions, unusual perceptions, or altered states during breathwork
- The importance of choice, safety, and trauma-informed facilitation
- How breathwork can create space for stillness, creativity, and self-reflection
- Les's personal experiences with breathwork, emotional awareness, and parenting
- Why more intense breathwork isn't appropriate for everyone
- How to develop a flexible, sustainable daily breathing practice
One of the most meaningful themes in this conversation is the space between stimulus and response. When we become more aware of our internal experience, we may find greater freedom in how we respond to the people and situations around us.Jamie also shares her philosophy of approaching breathwork with curiosity rather than force, allowing the practice to meet you where you are.
Whether you're completely new to breathwork or have explored it for years, this conversation offers a thoughtful look at the relationship between breathing, the nervous system, and our capacity for self-awareness.

Sat, 24 Oct 2026 - 1h 09min - 527 - Is Modern Convenience Making Us Less Capable? | Dr Robert Carter III
What if some of the conveniences making our lives easier are quietly making us less capable?
From artificial intelligence and smartphones to food delivery, GPS navigation, and instant access to information, modern technology has changed nearly every aspect of daily life. These tools can save us time, reduce effort, and create extraordinary opportunities. But what happens when we begin relying on them for things we once knew how to do ourselves?
In this conversation, Les Raymond sits down with Dr. Rob Carter III, physiologist, researcher, military officer, and author of "The Convenience Trap: How to Regain Control in a World of Instant Gratification", to explore the hidden costs of convenience and how we can preserve our independence, resilience, and ability to think critically.
Rob introduces the concept of "strategic inconvenience", the intentional choice to preserve meaningful challenges in our lives rather than automatically choosing the easiest path. One of the most important questions in this conversation is how to recognize when convenience genuinely improves our lives and when it quietly takes something valuable away.
Technology isn't going away, and it doesn't have to be the enemy. The challenge is learning to use these tools intentionally while continuing to develop the skills, relationships, and inner resources that make us capable, adaptable human beings.

Sat, 17 Oct 2026 - 1h 09min - 526 - Your Nervous System Doesn't Need a Reset. It Needs Retraining. | Jane Ollis
In this conversation, Les Raymond sits down with biochemist and entrepreneur Jane Ollis to explore the science of chronic stress, the autonomic nervous system, the vagus nerve, and the emerging field of non-invasive neuromodulation. Jane explains why nervous-system regulation is better understood as a process of retraining and recalibration, using different tools to help build greater capacity and resilience over time.
In this episode..
• Why chronic stress can make it harder for the nervous system to return to baseline
• The sympathetic and parasympathetic branches of the autonomic nervous system
• Why the vagus nerve plays such an important role in regulation
• How the ear provides access to a branch of the vagus nerve • Why nervous-system regulation isn't as simple as hitting a “reset” button
• How we may be able to gradually retrain and recalibrate our response to stress
• Why different nervous systems respond differently to the same practices
• Heart rate variability, or HRV, and what it can tell us about resilience and recovery
• Why your individual HRV trends may matter more than comparing your number with someone else's
• The relationship between chronic stress, sleep, energy, and recovery
• Why stress can contribute to difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
• Jane's experience with menopause, disrupted sleep, and nervous-system regulation
• How vagus nerve stimulation works
• Why stimulation doesn't necessarily need to feel strong to have an effect
• The emerging science of pairing vagus nerve stimulation with breathing, meditation, movement, or learning
• Neuroplasticity and the nervous system's ability to adapt
• What researchers are still learning about neuromodulation
• Why there may never be one nervous-system tool that works equally well for everyone
• Simple ways to support regulation, including breathing, meditation, music, humming, connection, and other practice
s • How technology may become another tool in a much larger nervous-system toolkit
Les also shares his experience using Sona and what he has noticed after experimenting with several different vagus nerve stimulation devices.
One of the most important ideas in this conversation is that regulation isn't necessarily about eliminating stress.It's about developing greater "capacity". The goal is to help the nervous system become more flexible so that stress can rise when it's needed and settle when the challenge has passed.And that process may look different for each of us. Meditation, slow breathing, sleep, movement, relationships, time for recovery, and emerging technologies such as vagus nerve stimulation can all become pieces of a larger toolkit for supporting the nervous system.

Sat, 10 Oct 2026 - 53min - 525 - Were You Responsible for Your Parents’ Emotions? | Adena Bank Lees
Were you ever made to feel responsible for a parent's happiness, emotional stability, relationship problems, or well-being?
Maybe you were called “mature for your age.” Maybe you became the listener, mediator, peacekeeper, secret keeper, or emotional caretaker in your family. From the outside, that closeness may even have looked special.But what happens when a child is asked to carry emotional responsibilities that belong to the adults?
In this conversation, Les Raymond sits down with licensed clinical social worker, trauma specialist, psychodramatist, and author Adena Bank Lees to explore covert emotional incest, sometimes referred to as CEI.
Despite the name, covert emotional incest does not necessarily involve physical sexual contact. Adena uses the term to describe a chronic family-system dynamic in which appropriate boundaries between adults and children become blurred and a child is placed in an adult-like emotional role, such as confidant, mediator, caretaker, or surrogate spouse.Drawing from nearly four decades of clinical experience as well as her own childhood, Adena explains how these patterns develop, why they can be difficult to recognize, and how they may continue to influence relationships, boundaries, people pleasing, perfectionism, caregiving, and identity well into adulthood.
In this episode...
• What covert emotional incest means and why the terminology can feel so confronting
• The difference between CEI and parentification
• How children become triangulated into their parents' relationship
• What healthy intergenerational boundaries look like
• When a child becomes a parent's confidant, mediator, or emotional caretake
r• Why being called “mature for your age” isn't always as positive as it sounds
• The difference between comforting a parent and becoming responsible for their emotional well-being
• How children can become secret keepers within a family
• Why these patterns can develop when a parent is struggling with addiction, illness, loneliness, relationship problems, or inadequate support
• How people pleasing and over-responsibility can begin in childhood
• The connection between perfectionism, high achievement, caregiving, and the need for approval
• Why adults may struggle to recognize their own needs after years of attending to everyone else's
• How childhood family roles can continue showing up in adult relationships
• The difference between closeness and blurred boundaries• How parents can support children without making them responsible for the parent's emotions
• Why acknowledging a parenting mistake can itself become part of healing
• The idea of being a “good enough” parent rather than a perfect one
• What psychodrama is and how Adena uses experiential work to help people access emotions and practice new responses
• Why healing doesn't necessarily require a parent to acknowledge or understand what happened
• The importance of awareness without turning the conversation into blame

Sat, 26 Sep 2026 - 1h 04min - 524 - The Hidden Gut Problem That Could Be Wrecking Your Metabolism | Jay Feldman
Why does weight so often come back after dieting? And what if the answer isn’t simply eating less, cutting carbs, or having more willpower?
In this conversation, Les sits down with health coach and metabolic health educator Jay Feldman to explore a different way of thinking about weight loss, metabolism, carbohydrates, gut health, and our relationship with food.
Jay explains why losing weight through restriction isn’t necessarily the same as improving metabolic health, and why the body may resist weight loss when it perceives a lack of energy, nutrients, sleep, or other resources. They discuss what can happen when you reintroduce carbohydrates after a period of low-carb eating, why some initial weight gain may not be body fat, and how supporting energy production and metabolic function may change the way the body regulates weight over time.The conversation also goes deep into gut health and carbohydrate tolerance. Why can a food that is considered “healthy” leave one person feeling energized and another bloated and uncomfortable?
Jay shares his perspective on digestion, the microbiome, endotoxin, FODMAPs, fiber, probiotics, fermented foods, constipation, and how gut function may influence metabolic health. Finally, Les and Jay tackle a question that doesn’t get discussed nearly enough: if carbohydrates can support energy and metabolic function, how do we reconcile that with concerns about sugar, cavities, and dental health?
**In this episode:**
Why weight regain isn’t necessarily a failure of willpower
• What happens when you add carbohydrates back after low-carb eating
• Glycogen, water weight, and why the scale can initially jump• The relationship between energy availability and weight regulation
• Why chronic restriction can affect energy, mood, sleep, libido, and digestion
• How Jay thinks about creating a healthier metabolic “set point”
• Carbohydrates vs. fat and how the body uses different fuels• Why carbohydrate quality and digestibility matter
• Insulin resistance and carbohydrate tolerance• Gut health, inflammation, and metabolic function
• What endotoxin is and why Jay believes it matters
• FODMAPs, fiber, starch, fruit, and choosing easier-to-digest carbohydrates
• SIBO, gut motility, and constipation
• Why probiotics and fermented foods aren’t automatically beneficial for everyone
• How to approach rebuilding gut health without endlessly restricting foods
• Sugar, carbohydrates, cavities, and dental health
• Supporting the body rather than constantly fighting it with another dietThis conversation offers a more nuanced way to think about nutrition.
Rather than asking only, “What should I eliminate?” Jay encourages us to pay attention to how well the body is actually functioning, how food affects energy and digestion, and what may be getting in the way of using fuel efficiently.

Sat, 19 Sep 2026 - 1h 26min - 523 - Are You Getting Old… or Just Getting Slow? | Graham Tuttle
When was the last time you sprinted? Not jogged. Not ran a 5K. Not did cardio. Actually moved as fast as your body could comfortably and safely move. In this conversation, Les Raymond sits down with Graham Tuttle, known as The Barefoot Sprinter and author of *Born to Sprint: Unlock Your Natural Strength, Speed, and Athleticism*, to explore why speed may be one of the most overlooked pieces of lifelong health and physical capability. Graham challenges the idea that sprinting is only for young athletes. Instead, he sees it as a natural human movement capacity that can reveal a great deal about our strength, coordination, connective tissue, balance, confidence, and relationship with our bodies.
Together, Les and Graham explore:
* Why adults gradually stop sprinting
* The relationship between speed, aging, and longevity
* Why strength alone may not preserve athleticism
* How sprinting supports power, coordination, impact tolerance, and movement quality
* Why being able to move quickly can matter for balance, falls, parenting, emergencies, and everyday life
* How sprinting differs from endurance training
* Why athleticism is about more than performance
* The role of the feet in movement, balance, and force production
* Why barefoot training creates so much sensory feedback
* How shoes, treadmills, watches, and other technology can sometimes disconnect us from what our bodies are telling us
* Why movement quality may matter more than simply accumulating reps, miles, or calories
* Walking, running, striding, skipping, and sprinting as parts of the same movement continuum
* How adults can gradually rebuild the capacity to sprint rather than jumping into it unprepared
* Why simplifying your training may sometimes help you become more capable, agile, and connected
One of the central ideas in Graham's work is that sprinting isn't necessarily an ability we earn. It's an ability the human body is designed to express. That doesn't mean someone who has been sedentary for years should simply head outside and sprint at full speed. The real work is restoring the mobility, tissue capacity, coordination, strength, and body awareness that make speed available again. Much of Graham's book focuses on exactly that journey.
Get Graham's Book...barefootsprinter.com
And look for his book, ***Born to Sprint: Unlock Your Natural Strength, Speed, and Athleticism***, a practical guide to rebuilding the foundational movement qualities that allow the body to move with strength, speed, confidence, and freedom.
Whether you're 30, 50, 70, or beyond, this conversation offers a different way to think about exercise: not simply as something we do to burn calories or improve numbers, but as an ongoing relationship with the body we live in.

Sat, 12 Sep 2026 - 1h 10min - 522 - Are Humans Wired for Mystical Experiences? Matt Zemon
Can an ordinary person have a mystical or direct spiritual experience?
In this conversation, Les Raymond sits down with Matt Zemon, executive director of the Council on Spiritual Practices and author of *Ordinary Mystics: Psychedelics, Faith, and the Reclaiming of Direct Spiritual Experience*, to explore the fascinating intersection of psychedelics, spirituality, religion, healing, and human connection. Matt shares how a guided psilocybin experience at age 46 completely changed the way he understood spirituality and ultimately led him to study psychology, neuroscience, mental health, ministry, and the long history of psychedelics in spiritual practice.
Together, Les and Matt explore:
* Why psychedelics can create profound feelings of connection and meaning
* Whether humans may be naturally wired for mystical experiences
* Psychedelics as one tool among many for accessing altered states
* The relationship between religion and direct spiritual experience
* Why similar mystical experiences appear across different cultures and faith traditions
* The difference between psychedelics as a cure and as a catalyst
* Why integration and community matter after a powerful experience
* Psilocybin and changing our relationship with death
* Les's own experiences with microdosing and psychedelic-assisted personal growth
* How set, setting, source, and support can reduce risk* Why surrender can be such an important part of difficult psychedelic experiences
* The role of self-love, reflection, meditation, and nature in integration
* The emerging world of psychedelic spiritual communities and churches
Matt also shares powerful experiences around death, grief, connection, and gratitude, including moments in which psychedelic experiences radically changed his relationship with being alive.At the heart of the conversation is a simple but provocative idea: psychedelics may not give us something we don't already possess. They may instead act as catalysts that help us access parts of ourselves that were already there.
**Learn more about Matt Zemon:**

Sat, 05 Sep 2026 - 1h 09min - 521 - What Happens When You Let Nature Become Your Teacher? | Danny Clark
What might happen if we stopped treating nature as something outside of ourselves and started listening to it as a teacher? In this conversation, Les Raymond reconnects with Danny Clark, author of *Tracking Truth: An Alchemical Journey of Learning from Nature*, more than a decade after they first crossed paths in the world of strength and movement. Since then, Danny's path has taken an unexpected turn. From wrestling and strength coaching to natural movement, off-grid living, herbalism, alchemy, and a much deeper relationship with the natural world, his journey has become an exploration of what nature can teach us about health, purpose, spirituality, and ourselves. Together, Les and Danny explore:
* Why spending time in nature can feel so fundamentally different from modern indoor life
* Natural movement and our changing relationship with exercise* How nature can become a source of self-reflection, meaning, and personal growth
* Danny's decision to live off-grid in the Rocky Mountains
* What it means to view nature as a teacher
* Herbalism, minerals, and the ancient practice of alchemy
* The fascinating story of finding and preparing wild shilajit
* The relationship between science, spirituality, and direct experience
* Creating preparations from quartz, obsidian, herbs, and other materials found in nature
* Why following curiosity and an inner calling can lead us somewhere we never expected
* The importance of integrating strength and intensity with surrender, rest, and reflection
At its heart, this conversation is about more than herbs, minerals, movement, or even nature itself. It's about learning to pay attention, following what feels meaningful, and allowing our relationship with the natural world to change our relationship with ourselves.
Learn more about Danny Clark and his work...spiritualperformance.netAnd look for Danny's book, Tracking Truth: An Alchemical Journey of Learning from Nature, which tells the story of his own evolving relationship with nature and the path that ultimately led him from athlete and strength coach to the work he does today.

Sat, 29 Aug 2026 - 1h 09min - 520 - Why You Can't Think Your Way Out of Stress & Anxiety | Dave Rabin
Why is it so hard to think clearly, learn, sleep, or feel like yourself when you’re stressed? In this conversation, Les Raymond sits down with Dr. Dave Rabin, psychiatrist, neuroscientist, author, and co-founder of Apollo Neuro, to explore what modern neuroscience is teaching us about stress, safety, healing, and the nervous system. Dr. Rabin explains why our brains are wired to treat uncertainty as potential danger, why feeling safe in the body may need to come before trying to change our thoughts, and how chronic overstimulation can quietly keep us stuck in survival mode. Much of the conversation draws from Dr. Rabin’s book, A Simple Guide to Being Alive, which explores the fascinating intersection of modern science, spirituality, and ancient wisdom, and what these different ways of understanding ourselves may be able to teach us about living and healing.
Together they explore:
Why anxiety is closely tied to uncertainty and our evolutionary survival system
The difference between bottom-up and top-down approaches to change
Why the nervous system needs signals of safety
The role of the vagus nerve, touch, vibration, and human connection
Why more data and health tracking can sometimes create more anxietyHow small, repeated moments of regulation may be more practical than adding another demanding wellness routine
The relationship between stress, sleep, recovery, and resilienceWhat science may be beginning to explain about ancient and traditional healing practicesHow technology can potentially support nervous system regulation rather than adding more stress
Dr. Rabin also shares new research and developments behind Apollo Neuro, the wearable technology designed to use gentle vibrations to support relaxation, sleep, focus, and nervous system regulation.

Sat, 22 Aug 2026 - 1h 10min - 519 - Screens, Anxiety & the Disappearing Childhood | A Pediatrician Explains What Changed | Dr. Michael Glazier
Childhood has changed dramatically in just a generation. Kids spend more time on screens, less time playing outside, have fewer opportunities for independence, and are reporting anxiety at alarming rates.
In this conversation, Les sits down with pediatrician Dr. Michael Glazier, Chief Medical Officer of Bluebird Kids Health, to explore what's happening to kids and what parents can do about it.They discuss why childhood anxiety doesn't always look like anxiety, how stress can show up as very real physical symptoms, and the role phones, social media, isolation, and changing childhood experiences may be playing in children's mental health.
They also explore something we've increasingly removed from childhood: boredom. What happens when kids don't have enough opportunities to wander, play, solve problems, navigate conflict, take reasonable risks, and experience small amounts of adversity? And could our attempts to protect children actually be preventing them from developing some of the resilience they'll need later in life?
The conversation also covers nutrition, youth sports, parenting by example, the lasting social effects of COVID, and the rapidly growing role of AI in children's lives and education
In this episode...
Why anxiety in children can be difficult to recognize•
The connection between screens, social isolation, and anxiety•
Why boredom may actually be good for kids
Free play, independence, and developing resilience
Why physical symptoms can sometimes be related to stress
The problem with early sports specialization
How parents model behavior without realizing it
Nutrition and children's long-term health
The social consequences of COVID-era isolation
The potential benefits and risks of AI for children
What parents can do to support healthier, more resilient kids
If you're a parent, grandparent, teacher, coach, or simply concerned about how childhood is changing, this conversation offers an important look at what kids may need more of, not just what they need protection from.
Thanks so much for all of your support!

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 - 1h 12min - 510 - How Chronic Pain Rewires the Brain and How to Heal Without Opioids
This one hits home as I myself struggled with opiate addiction for years and have witnessed many loved ones lose the battle these drugs can create.In this powerful conversation, Les Raymond sits down with neurologist and Chief Medical Officer of Lin Health, Dr. Eric Anderson, to explore the neuroscience of chronic pain, opioid addiction, emotional trauma, and how the nervous system can become trapped in a cycle of suffering.Dr. Anderson explains how pain can become “learned” by the brain through a process called central sensitization — where the nervous system becomes overprotective, hypervigilant, and stuck in a false alarm state long after an injury has healed.Together, Les and Dr. Anderson discuss:Why opioids often fail as a long-term solution for chronic painHow fear and stress amplify pain signalsThe connection between trauma, emotions, and physical painPain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT)CBT and emotional processing for chronic pain recoveryWhy movement and mindfulness are essential for healingThe neuroscience behind panic, anxiety, and pain loopsHow the brain can both generate pain — and heal from itLes also shares deeply personal experiences with addiction, recovery, panic attacks, and witnessing the devastating impact opioids have had on loved ones.This conversation offers hope, science-backed insight, and a radically different way to think about chronic pain and healing.If this episode resonates with you, share it with someone who may need to hear it.#chronicpain #opioids #mindfulness #mentalhealth #healing #painrelief #neuroscience #traumahealing #podcast #themindfulmovementhttps://www.themindfulmovement.com

Staci and Jeremy started their farm in 2016 and have spent years learning to produce and preserve the majority of their own food, all while raising their kids alongside the process.

In this episode, I sit down with Luke Mickelson, founder of Sleep in Heavenly Peace, to talk about a problem most people don’t even realize exists, child bedlessness. What started as a simple act of service in his community turned into a nationwide movement focused on making sure no kid has to sleep on the floor.
We get into the real impact of not having a bed, physically and emotionally, and how something so basic can affect a child’s development, behavior, and sense of dignity. Luke breaks down how he built and scaled a nonprofit from the ground up, the role community plays in solving real problems, and why awareness at the local level is often the missing piece when it comes to meaningful change.

J. Eric Oliver is a professor of political science at the University of Chicago and the author of How to Know Yourself: The Art and Science of Discovering Who You Really Are. His work blends political science, psychology, and philosophy to explore how we form beliefs, construct identity, and often misunderstand our own behavior.
In this episode of the Mindful Movement Podcast, I sit down with Eric to explore what it actually means to know yourself. We get into how language shapes identity, why the “self” may be better understood as an evolving system rather than something fixed, and how much of what we call free will is influenced by habit and environment. We also talk about consciousness as an active process, the role of pain as a signal, and what it looks like to better understand the internal systems driving your behavior.

Dr. David D. Clarke, MD is a board-certified physician in internal medicine and gastroenterology, best known for his work on stress-related and brain-generated physical symptoms often referred to as neuroplastic or psychophysiologic conditions. After decades in traditional gastroenterology, he shifted his focus toward understanding how the brain, stress, and emotions can drive very real pain and illness in the absence of structural disease.
In this conversation, Dr. Clarke explains neuroplastic symptoms and why pain without clear imaging or lab findings is still real and valid. He shares his personal journey from conventional GI practice to recognizing the brain’s role in physical symptoms, walks through case studies showing how unresolved stress and emotional patterns can manifest in the body, and discusses why stress evaluation, emotional awareness, and healthy boundaries are central to healing. He also points listeners toward practical resources for patients and practitioners seeking a better framework for understanding and treating neuroplastic conditions.

This is part 3 of a 7 part chakra meditation series with the focus on the third or solar plexus chakra. Enjoy a guided meditation with music to balance this particular chakra created by Sonic Yogi.
We function best when the chakras are open and in balance. Each of the meditation practices in this series can help you open and balance the chakras individually so your energy system can move more efficiently as a whole. The ability to heal and balance the chakras takes time and with repeated practice has the potential for transformation.

Parenting isn’t something we’re born knowing how to do, it’s something we learn. In this episode of the Mindful Movement Podcast, parenting coach Tia Slightham breaks down why effective parenting skills come from education and practice, not intuition.
She explores how different parenting styles and discipline strategies impact your child’s growth.
You’ll learn about child behavior, gentle parenting, emotional triggers, and reactive parenting.
We also dig into modern challenges like social media, communication breakdowns, and balancing support with independence. Tia explains how developing emotional intelligence creates stronger family dynamics and a calmer home environment.
Whether you’re new to parenting dealing with a "challenging kid" or looking to deepen your understanding of psychology and conscious parenting, this episode will leave you feeling more equipped, confident, and compassionate in your approach.

Sun, 05 Oct 2025 - 23min - 468 - Transforming Trauma into Service | Joe Smarro
In this interview, I sit down with Joe Smarro former police officer turned mental health advocate, to talk about his powerful journey of trauma, healing, and growth. Joe opens up about how vulnerability became his strength, why empathy in crisis situations is life-saving, and how his own experiences shaped his mission.
We dive deep into his use of ketamine therapy for trauma recovery, the creation of the CCRTC de-escalation model (curiosity, connection, rapport, trust, compliance), and why self-awareness and unconditional love are key to mental health. Joe also shares how parenting reveals unresolved trauma and how his company, Solution Point Plus, is teaching these skills across industries.
If you’re interested in mental health, trauma recovery, de-escalation techniques, or personal growth, this conversation with Joe Smarro will challenge you to rethink what true strength really means.

If you are struggling to make a decision in your life or simply want to get to know yourself better, this special yoga nidra meditation and visualization practice is for you. It is incredibly relaxing and rejuvenating if used during the day. It can also be used to help you fall asleep and enjoy extremely productive and healing sleep. It has been said that 1 hour of yoga nidra equates to 4 hours of deep sleep. Using this systematic approach to full body and mind meditative rest to enjoy blissful peace and uncover your heart’s desires while you relieve stress.
This practice of yogic sleep will guide you to the state of consciousness between wakefulness and sleeping. You do not worry if you do not hear everything. It is natural to flow in and out of conscious hearing. The deepest part of you is listening.
This meditation is 50 minutes of spoken word and can be used during the day or to help you go to sleep for the night.
If you are listening to this recording with the intention to move into a sleeping state, my voice will simply fade into the background and your subconscious mind will be ready to allow sleep to easily come to you.
If you are moving on with your day, your subconscious will listen to my voice bring you back to full awareness. You may also want to set a soft timer if you don't plan to go to sleep.

Sun, 28 Sep 2025 - 53min - 466 - Is THIS The Next Step for The Human Mind? ft. Tom Matte
What if your mind could see beyond words? In this interview, Tom Matte introduces his phenomenon called Upside Vision, a way of perceiving holographic images, symbols, and insights that go far deeper than everyday conversation. We explore the role of permission, the surprising connection between trauma and hidden abilities, and the idea that the brain may function more like a receiver than a generator. Along the way, Tom shares how meditation, symbolism, and personal journeys all shape this unusual form of perception.
As the discussion unfolds, we step into questions about the future of communication, the influence of online personas on authenticity, and the possibility of nonverbal connection that transcends traditional language. From scientific studies to growing interest in these unexplored abilities, this conversation blends personal storytelling with big picture implications. Nothing is answered outright, but you will leave with more questions about the boundaries of human perception, the mind’s hidden potential, and what might be waiting just beyond the edge of ordinary awareness.
Tom Matte is the creator of Upside Vision, a phenomenon where he perceives holographic images that reveal symbolic insights. After overcoming trauma and addiction, he discovered this ability and now shares it through personal readings, talks, and collaborations with researchers. His work explores how perception, meditation, and science intersect with human potential.

In this episode, I sit down with Ashley Armstrong to explore the deep connection between food, health, and the land it comes from. Ashley shares her journey from a suburban upbringing to discovering the power of regenerative farming and becoming a passionate advocate for sustainable practices.
We dive into what separates regenerative agriculture from industrial methods, how soil and animal health influence the nutrients on our plate, and why understanding fatty acids is so important for overall well-being. Ashley also talks about how technology can support farming without compromising nature, and how ancestral diets provide a valuable framework for how we eat today.
This conversation is all about moving past fear-based health narratives and toward food empowerment. If you’ve ever wondered how your food is grown, why it matters for your body, or how small choices can shift your health and the larger food system, you’ll find a lot here to take with you.

Eva shares her personal journey, explaining why it’s important to understand the root causes of congestion rather than relying on quick fixes. She also discusses how excessive detox practices can deplete essential minerals and place strain on the adrenal and nervous systems.
Throughout our talk, Eva points out that not all detox methods are safe or effective. Some approaches can even lead to hospitalization if done improperly. This interview highlights why it’s so important to listen to your body, take a measured approach, and view detox as one part of a bigger picture of healing and overall health.

Sun, 17 Aug 2025 - 17min - 456 - Unlocking the Unconscious with Depth Psychology ft. Dr. Nicole Dolan
In this conversation, I sit down with Dr. Nicole Dolan, a depth psychologist, to explore how depth psychology reveals the deep connections between the unconscious mind, dreams, and personal transformation. We discuss how working with the unconscious can unlock insights hidden beneath the surface, how spiritual dimensions influence healing, and why intuition is such a powerful tool in therapy.
We dive into the role of dreams as a window into emotional and psychological states, and how they can guide the process of integrating trauma. Dr. Dolan shares how different therapeutic modalities can be applied based on individual needs, the importance of self-advocacy, and how conscious parenting starts with self-reflection and understanding our own triggers. We also touch on chronic illness, exploring how emotional and psychological roots may contribute to physical health challenges.
This discussion goes beyond traditional therapy, exploring ideas like soul contracts, the mind-body-spirit connection, and the transformative power of confronting and processing pain. Whether you’re curious about depth psychology, interested in the intersection of spirituality and mental health, or looking for tools to navigate your own healing journey, this episode offers both insight and inspiration.

For today, let go of the “I’ll be happy when…” mindset. See your joy as available to you just on the other side of a door, you simply need to open it and let joy into your heart. Today, bring joy intentionally into your world and heart. Find ease in stressful or challenging times and spread joy to your loved ones and around the world.

In this interview, I had the opportunity to sit down with @SwamiRevatikaantaOfficial and hear his remarkable story of transformation. From his roots in Brazil to his life as a Hindu monk, we explored deep spiritual concepts like Dharma, the soul’s purpose, and how reincarnation reflects the desires we carry.
What struck me most was his emphasis on humility and compassion, not as abstract virtues, but as essential tools for understanding ourselves and others. He also explained how the divine responds to sincere desire for change and growth, often in quiet, surprising ways.
Throughout the conversation, we discussed practical spiritual paths like Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, and Jnana Yoga, and how each offers a way to connect with something higher. We also touched on cultural symbols and rituals.
Whether you're spiritual, curious, or simply seeking clarity, I think this conversation will give you something meaningful to reflect on.

Why non-judgmental communication is the foundation of trust
How childhood experiences and cultural conditioning shape our emotional responses
Why emotional intelligence is a superpower for leaders and anyone who wants better relationships
This conversation opened my eyes to how easily we dismiss emotions and how that can escalate conflict. Doug breaks it down step by step and gives real-world tools you can start using today.
If you’ve ever wanted to stay calm under pressure, resolve conflict faster, or just connect more deeply with people, this episode will show you how.

Sun, 27 Jul 2025 - 20min - 450 - Beginner Meditation Series | Mindfulness of Thoughts to Reduce Stress and Anxiety
It is your mind’s job to think, just as it is your stomach’s job to digest the food you eat. When practicing meditation, you may feel like you need to stop your thoughts or clear your mind completely. Your thoughts do not cause suffering, when you attach to your thoughts, and believe they are absolutely true with no other possible reality, this is what causes suffering. Because it is impossible to stop your thoughts entirely, I invite you to shift your intention to one of releasing attachments to thoughts.
Whether your thoughts are scattered and disorganized or intrusive and cyclical, change your relationship with your thoughts to reduce suffering due to undesirable thoughts.
Let this practice be your training for dealing with thoughts outside of meditation. Be patient and compassionate with yourself during this process and know that thoughts, like breath will come and go.

Take 20 minutes out of your day to practice this guided mindfulness meditation for pain relief and relaxation. Today's meditation scans your body as an anchor to this present moment. It will connect you to what is good in your body right now and invite the peace to expand within you. We often resist pain, we don't like to be uncomfortable, and we push it down and mask the pain. This resistance to the sensations in our body can cause additional suffering.
While this meditation practice is not a substitute for medical treatment if needed, it can help to ease the suffering and find the positive to connect with.
We hope you enjoy!

Sun, 06 Jul 2025 - 20min - 448 - Topical Stem Cell Therapy is The Future of Regenerative Medicine with Dr Tommy Rhee
In this episode, I had the opportunity to sit down with Dr. Tommy Rhee to dive into the complex and exciting world of stem cell therapy and regenerative medicine. Dr. Rhee brings a rare combination of clinical experience and personal experimentation to the table, sharing how he’s used stem cells in his own healing journey. We explored the evolution of regenerative medicine, the critical role of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), and how these cells signal our body’s existing tissues to repair and regenerate. Dr. Rhee broke down how telomeres influence aging, why exosomes and extracellular vesicles are key messengers in healing, and how different delivery methods, like topical applications versus injections, can affect outcomes.
Beyond the science, we talked about the real-world side of recovery and healing. Dr. Rhee emphasized how nutrition, lifestyle, and nitric oxide production can drastically impact the effectiveness of stem cell therapy. He also walked me through the process of developing a regenerative product from concept to testing, and how it’s being used in sports medicine and beyond. Whether you're new to the world of stem cells or already exploring it, this conversation offers practical insights and a hopeful look at the future of regenerative care.

In this powerful interview, Keala Kanae shares how a deep shift in perspective transformed his relationship with his father and ultimately, himself. This is not your typical forgiveness story. Keala goes beyond the concept of right and wrong and steps into a space of gratitude for the very experiences that once caused him pain.
He explains why simply forgiving someone can still keep you locked in a narrative of judgment, while gratitude frees you from resentment by helping you see how everything, even the hard things, served your growth.
This video is for anyone who has ever struggled to let go of past hurt, especially when it comes from the people who shaped us the most. If you've ever felt stuck trying to forgive someone who hurt you, this conversation will challenge your assumptions and show you a more powerful path forward.
Featuring themes of emotional healing, perspective, relationships, trauma, and personal growth, this might be the reframe you did not know you needed.

It may come easy to find gratitude for what’s good in life. But true satisfaction and fulfillment come to those who find gratitude for the obstacles and challenges in life. When we can change how we look at these challenges, they can become our blessings.
Today, we will practice connecting with the good and resonating with the energy of gratitude. Observe how you can turn the dial of how you feel when you practice gratitude. Build your own emotional resilience.

In this episode of The Mindful Movement Podcast, I sit down with Craig Filek, creator of Purpose Mapping, for a powerful conversation about how we navigate major life transitions, especially those moments that challenge our identity and sense of direction.
Craig brings deep insight into the nature of the midlife crisis, explaining how periods of uncertainty can actually signal the beginning of something greater: a transformation rooted in purpose. We explore the difference between purpose and mission, and why understanding this distinction is key to personal fulfillment.
From the dissolution of old identities to the process of self-discovery and transformation, Craig shares how coaching, hobbies, and deep connection with others can lead to renewed meaning in life. We also touch on the role of masculinity, the impact of education on identity, and how the future of coaching may be shaped by innovations like AI.
Whether you're confronting a major life shift, seeking more fulfillment, or feeling called to something deeper, this conversation offers a grounded and thought-provoking path forward.

The philosophy of a beginner’s mind has been around for a long time and today, I will guide you to consider how this can be applied to your meditation practice as well as how it translates to approaching your daily life. When we practice a beginner’s mind, it is a way to see everything, as if for the first time. We can leave behind our biases, judgments and expectations because this moment is the only moment. We can meet the present with an open attitude. The beginner’s mind isn’t concerned with the past or the future, it attends directly to the current experience as it is happening.

Sun, 08 Jun 2025 - 34min - 440 - How to Break the Cycle of Suffering w/ Peter Crone
In this conversation, I sit down with Peter Crone to explore how so many of us normalize suffering without even realizing it. We dig into why recognizing discomfort is such a crucial part of personal growth and how often we stay stuck in patterns of dis-ease simply because they feel familiar. Peter shares powerful insights on how self-awareness can become the gateway to a more peaceful, fulfilled life, and how ignoring our inner signals keeps us locked in cycles of unhappiness.
Listening to Peter over the years, I have watched him refine the beautiful ability to communicate how our emotions and thoughts shape the way we show up in the world. In this episode, we explore not just the importance of recognizing these patterns, but how that awareness becomes a path to loving ourselves more deeply. We also dive into how our relationships shape our well-being and why finding peace takes active, intentional effort. If you have ever wondered why you feel stuck or restless, this conversation offers transformative insights you will not want to miss.

Mon, 02 Jun 2025 - 1h 04min - 438 - Unlocking Your Psychic Potential: A Conversation with Lisa Campion
In this conversation, I sit down with Lisa Campion, a Reiki master and psychic counselor, to explore the fascinating world of psychic abilities. Lisa shares how her own experiences growing up with psychic gifts shaped her understanding of intuition, spirit guides, and the soul world. We dive into the subtle but important distinction between intuition and psychic insight, and how both play powerful roles in shaping our decision-making and mental health. Lisa opens up about how trauma can awaken or enhance these abilities, and how cultural awareness around psychic development has shifted over the years, making these topics more mainstream and accessible.
We also talk about Lisa’s passion for teaching and mentoring others in psychic counseling, helping people navigate their life paths by blending therapeutic tools with intuitive practices. From working with spirit guides to supporting people in areas like intuitive eating and emotional healing, Lisa’s approach emphasizes deep connection and self-awareness. Whether you’re curious about developing your own psychic skills or simply interested in how intuition can create a more fulfilling life, this conversation offers insights into the evolving intersection of psychic development, Reiki, and mental health.

Sun, 25 May 2025 - 39min - 436 - Why Moving Like a Kid Might Save Your Body ft. Tim Anderson
In this conversation with Tim Anderson, we explore the deep connection between head movement and full-body control, something that starts developing the moment we’re born.
Tim breaks down how the vestibular system influences balance, coordination, and even our sense of stability in the world.
We also get into the importance of early movement patterns like tummy time, and how they help strengthen a baby’s core and nervous system.
It’s a powerful reminder that movement isn’t just mechanical, it’s foundational, neurological, and deeply human. We shouldn't just aim for strength and stability, but reflexive strength and reflexive stability.
Tim has had a dramatic impact on my life and the way I approach movement with my clients. I was extremely grateful for the chance to sit down with him and go in depth on the topic.

Eager for a change in your life but unsure where to begin?
Grab your chance to uncover Inner Wisdom & Transform Your Life:
https://bit.ly/You-Are-Not-Broken-Book-Link
---------------------------------------------------------------
In this episode of the Mindful Movement Podcast, host Les Raymond sits down with Dr. Richard Grossman, founder of Heart Feather and a healer with over four decades of experience in acupuncture, Chinese medicine, and natural health. Over the past 20 years, Dr. Grossman has also immersed himself in Amazonian shamanism, leading transformative plant medicine ceremonies and guiding others on their path to healing. He is the author of Trust and Forgive: The Medicine of Your Life, which shares his personal journey and the powerful insights he’s gained through deep spiritual work.
Dr. Grossman opens up about how a childhood fascination with medicinal plants eventually led him to the healing worlds of ayahuasca and San Pedro. He shares how early trauma shaped his life, how plant medicine helped him access layers of emotional healing, and why trust and forgiveness are essential ingredients in the path to wholeness.
