  Flexible Routines for Real Life: Meet Yourself Where You Are with Dr. Matt Campbell

  Aug 14, 202653 min

  In this episode Emma welcomes psychologist Dr. Matt Campbell to explore 'Our Primal 5'; sunlight, movement, sleep, meaningful connection, and mindful consumption, as the foundational elements of recovery and mental health. They dismantle the perfection myth, reframe slips as learning opportunities, and explain how small, practical changes (like stacking habits and limiting choices) are more sustainable than waiting for motivation. Dr. Matt shares real-world examples—morning sunlight, dog walks, pairing enjoyable activities with movement—and emphasizes flexibility: tailor routines to your life, not someone else’s ideal. Listeners leave with actionable steps to bolster resilience and wellbeing.

  From Dungeon to Daylight: Healing a Brain Injury with NLP & Hypnosis with Matt Johnson

  Aug 11, 20261 hour

  Matt Johnson shares his extraordinary recovery from a severe brain injury that left him light- and sound-sensitive and trapped in a dark, solitary room. Frustrated by limited medical answers, he became an obsessive researcher and combined Western neurology with alternative healing—Reiki, pranic healing, qigong—then trained in hypnosis and NLP. He discovered PTSD had been keeping his brain in fight-or-flight, blocking healing. By learning how to change his focus, bodily state, and subconscious programming, Matt rebuilt his life. He now helps others—soldiers, survivors of abuse, and people with chronic triggers—using protocols that blend neuroscience, practical skills, and gentle energy work.

  In this episode Emma speaks with Dr. Medge Jaspan about reclaiming authenticity through creativity, positive psychology and psycho-spiritual work.

Dr. Medge shares approaches including one-on-one coaching, group workshops, couples work and retreats that blend therapy, breathwork, ancestral and value work, and ocean-based practices to regulate the nervous system and spark sustainable change. Dr. Medge Jaspan is a visionary wellness leader, French-American abstract artist, and transformational coach devoted to helping people unlock their highest potential and live with greater vitality, clarity, and purpose.
