MARIYA JAVED-PAYNE, MSW, LICSW, LADC is a somatic psychotherapist specializing in healing trauma, complex trauma, addiction, generational and racial trauma, and oppression in the body. She is both a practitioner and teacher of "Brainspotting " a powerful technique in healing trauma. Mariya says, "I am a woman. I am a body of culture. I am a person in recovery. I am an immigrant. I am a student of life. I am a partner, educator, sister, daughter, and friend. I am a passionate and curious individual dedicated to creating health and wellness for individuals, communities, and societies. I believe in deep, nourishing, and holistic change that heals from the roots up." I was born in India and lived in France, Brazil, and the United States all before the age of six. My experience with vastly different cultures piqued my curiosity about humans and diverse societies from a young age. Blending and assimilating my culture of origin with the United States has been and continues to be an integral part of my story. It has also shaped my ability to assist others in reclaiming their identities as multi-dimensional and complex human beings. These early life experiences in global societies defined my open worldview and appreciation for the diverse walks of life that humanity encompasses. I am grateful for the expansiveness they have provided my foundation. My own journey with addiction and my challenging path to recovery over ten years ago has also given me depth and compassion as a therapist. I gained a firsthand understanding of the quest of the human mind to find a sense of belonging and settledness in an ever-shifting world. These experiences have given me the ability to approach all people with openness, non-judgment, and patience. They have also taught me to be tenacious in my pursuit of healing self and others. Hope is a powerful survival mechanism. www.awakenconsultingservices.com…

After suffering for years with strange medical conditions, BRAD PITZELE was diagnosed with autoimmune arthritis in 2010 and malignant melanoma in 2014. Concerned that his treatments increased cancer risk, he began searching for a safer, more holistic path. Further testing revealed he also had Lyme disease and Bartonella. As his condition worsened—with debilitating fatigue, brain fog, and mobility loss—Brad sought alternatives. In 2016, his doctor recommended hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) or exercise with oxygen therapy (EWOT).Brad chose EWOT, but dissatisfied with what was on the market, he decided to build his own system. The results were transformative. Within a year, his strength, clarity, and energy returned. Seeing the improvement, Brad's doctor asked if he could make EWOT systems for others. That moment sparked the creation of One Thousand Roads, founded on the belief that healing should be effective, safe, and accessible. Today, Brad empowers others by sharing his firsthand experience with chronic illness and recovery. He helps people understand how EWOT works, why it can support healing from conditions such as Lyme disease, cancer, chronic fatigue, and autoimmune diseases, and how to integrate it safely and affordably into their wellness journey. We talk about: • The Role of Oxygen in Healing • EWOT: Oxygen from the Inside Out Oxygen as a Therapeutic Tool for Cancer, ChronicIllness & Detoxification Enhancing Cognitive Health, Reducing Inflammation& Reversing Aging with EWOT • How EWOT + Red Light Work Synergistically • Understanding How Red & Infrared Light Work, Support Healing & Create Multiplier Effects • Brad's Personal Recovery Story • How does our body use oxygen, and how does this change as we age? • What is EWOT, and how does it work? • What benefits can EWOT provide for those suffering from chronic illness? • How do EWOT and Red Light therapy complement each other to boost oxygen and energy for peak performance? • What is the science of Red Light therapy, how does it work, and what are the benefits? • How does oxygen therapy support healing in conditions like cancer, Lyme disease, detoxification, and improving sleep and mental clarity? • In what ways does oxygen help reduce inflammation and reverse aging at the cellular level?

She co-founded Inbound Leadership to help unlock untapped potential for greater impact by fostering safe spaces for leaders to reflect, be vulnerable, a=]d grow—her true passion. Malitta says,"When women feel drained at work or at home, we often blame ourselves for taking on too much or not finding "balance." But what if the real reason we're running on empty is that we're constantly contorting ourselves—shrinking, bending, over-accommodating, and over-delivering to meet other people's expectations?" For years, that's exactly what Malitta did.While building an eight-figure business with her husband, Brad Seamon, and raising a family, she continually adjusted and overperformed to meet roles and standards defined by others. Until the cost of contortion became too high. The business hit a breaking point—and so did her marriage. In the fallout, Malitta finally asked herself a question too many high-achieving women avoid: What would it look like to lead without apology—and live without shape-shifting? We talk about: Why women feel pressure to contort—trying to "make it work" at their own expense. The subtle but powerful signs that you're bending too far. The real cost of chronic self-adjustment—emotionally, professionally, and relationally. Why chasing "balance" keeps us stuck—and what to pursue instead.

LORRE LAWS: NURSE TRAUMATIZATION SOLUTIONS: EP. 254 1:00:39

1:00:39

LORRE LAWS is an author, healer, teacher, nursing professor, and leader whose scholarship and clinical practice centers on nurse traumatization, burnout, integrative health, nurse safety and professional wellbeing. In her role as an integrative nursing professor, colleagues refer to her as a "master teacher" while students dubbed her as "humanity's nurse". Dr. Lorre helps nurses and health care professionals recover from trauma and burnout so they can thrive in their practices instead of just surviving them. As nurses heal together, they can require system changes as they usher in the Nursing 2.0, a new paradigm that prioritizes nurse safety and professional wellbeing. Dr. Lorre founded The Haelan Academy , a nonprofit organization where nurses across the globe can come together in a safe and nurturing virtual space to share and be supported in their healing journeys together. She is an informative and entertaining keynote speaker and retreat leader who educates and inspires. Dr. Lorre has published numerous scholarly articles and has presented her work to national and international audiences. She is currently based in southern Arizona USA where she enjoys the love of family, friends, and community. She enjoys farm-to-table cooking, hiking, weight training, yoga, and a myriad of healing arts, practices, and traditions. She is attuned to her healer's heart and its calling to be of service to the global nursing community. She lives in alignment with her overarching mission: "It's not necessarily how I make a difference; I just want to be certain that I do." In this episode she discusses why nurse-specific traumatization is frequently misdiagnosed as burnout. What are nurse's burnout symptoms really saying? How does her book "Nursing Our Healer's Heart" offer hope, healing, and a pathway for nurse trauma and burnout recovery? IFF BOOKS Presents Nursing Our Healer's Heart A Recovery Guide for Nurse Trauma & Burnout by Lorre Laws, PhD RN Release date: January 1st 2025 Categories: Healing, Nursing (general), Work-related health CLICK HERE TO VIEW THE BOOK COVER The nursing profession is in crisis. Within a decade, the world will have just over half the number of nurses it needs. The global nursing workforce has experienced mass, complex trauma secondary to healthcare system inadequacies and a global pandemic. Traumatized and burned out nurses are leaving their roles or the profession in unprecedented numbers. Those who remain are stretched to or beyond their capacity. While system-level strategies aim to address this crisis, none of them consider nurse traumatization and its impact upon patient safety, outcomes, and quality of care. We cannot wait for health systems to prioritize nurse safety. Nurses can and must come together as a global community to heal through avoidable and unavoidable nurse-specific traumatization while partnering with healthcare leaders to usher in a new era of nursing. This book, through an actionable framework, guides nurses in healing the traumas and hardships they've endured as individuals and nursing communities. Grounded in the sciences of unitary caring, integrative nursing, neurophysiology, and transpersonal neurobiology, this book supports nurses in restoring their healers' heart as they come together to address the deep trauma, burnout, attrition, and presenteeism that are central to the nursing crisis. Nurses will learn the language of their nervous system and how to navigate it as a foundational practice to support professional wellbeing. Each nurse will discover their unique innate care plan, which will guide their healing and co-healing with other nurses. By embracing the healing and practices offered in this book, nurses will learn how to support their nervous system regulation so they can thrive instead of survive in practice. Working from their healed scars instead of their open wounds, nurses can effectively lead sustainable organizational change and health care reforms that prioritize nurse safety and professional wellbeing.…

SCOTT HANLEY is a remarkable advocate for resilience, mindset, and physical health, having reversed the symtoms of Parkinson's Disease. His story is a powerful testament of - a personal growth, mindset and change. Diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2017, Scott faced debilitating symptoms that impacted his daily life, including muscle rigidity, tremors, and intense sleep disturbances. Rather than resigning to a progressive decline, he took an unconventional route, combining high-intensity physical and cognitive exercises to effectively "train his brain" and regain control. Through CrossFit, Scott found a program that paired physical intensity with cognitive challenge, dramatically reversing his symptoms and leaving him 95% symptom-free—an outcome that has amazed his neurologists. Scott delves into his transformative journey from his initial Parkinson's diagnosis to becoming 95% symptom-free, challenging traditional medical expectations along the way. He shares the pivotal moments that reshaped his mindset, the unconventional methods he adopted—like combining CrossFit and cognitive exercises—and the impact of these practices on his life. This conversation covers Scott's belief in the power of mindset, the importance of self-advocacy in health, and his hope to inspire others facing chronic illness to redefine their potential.
