She shared a personal story about enduring a miscarriage in February 2021, which led her to develop the method after experiencing significant grief. Trauma Recovery and Co-Founding Journey Stephanie shared her experience with deep grief following a miscarriage, which affected her ability to work with clients. Despite seeking help from friends and professionals, she found little relief until her medical doctor referred her to her now co-founder, who used a trauma integration process to help her fully process the trauma in a single 60-minute session. After experiencing significant relief, Stephanie began learning systematic tools from her co-founder, which led to her receiving a divine command to bring these tools into the world. Rapid Rewire Method Journey Stephanie shared her journey of launching the Rapid Rewire Method with her business partner after he passed away from COVID.

She shared her personal experience using these tools to process anticipatory grief following her mother's cancer diagnosis and a friend's recent cancer recurrence. Stephanie also mentioned her background in energy healing and Reiki, highlighting how she could quickly identify and address root causes of trauma in clients, though she noted that not everyone might be ready for such intensive healing sessions. Rapid Rewire Method Overview Stephanie explained the Rapid Rewire Method, describing how it systematically unearths root causes of issues through a structured process involving the mind, emotions, nervous system, and body. She mentioned that the method can address problems, limiting beliefs, trauma, and even spiritual awakening without requiring participants to use substances like ayahuasca. Stephanie invited Alana to attend an immersion to experience the tools firsthand.

Aura Colors & Awakening: Helen Ye Plehn on chakras, soul gifts, and spiritual transformation
Apr 2800:39:13Tap to summarizeArtistic Journey and Psychic Insights Helen shared her artistic journey, explaining how her father's influence led her to develop a colorful painting style inspired by meditation visions and third-eye experiences. She described her 2018 Kundalini awakening as a transformative event that enhanced her ability to perceive auras and spirit guides, leading her to incorporate sacred geometry and crystal grids into her artwork. Helen emphasized that artists serve as divine channels, using their psychic abilities to translate cosmic inspiration into physical creations. Understanding Aura Layers and Functions Helen explained the concept of auras, comparing them to Russian dolls with seven layers corresponding to the seven chakras. She described the different types of auras, including the soul aura, mood aura, and their corresponding colors and functions. Alana, who teaches aura-related topics, found the analogy helpful and discussed how understanding aura layers can inform spiritual practices like positive affirmations. Soul Aura Colors and Quiz Helen and Alana discussed aura colors and their significance, with Helen explaining that there are three types of auras: mood aura (around the face and changes frequently), personality aura (around the head and changes with significant life events), and soul aura color (around the heart chakra and changes over several years). Helen emphasized that soul aura colors carry information about one's gifts, wounds, and lessons, and she encouraged Alana to take a free 20-question quiz on her website to determine her soul aura color. They also briefly discussed the coincidence of recording the episode on Lunar New Year and Alana wearing a jade pendant, which Helen noted was complementary to her soul aura color. Intuition and Ethical Responsibility Alana and Helen discussed the importance of intuition and the responsibility that comes with it. Alana shared her experience of learning to harness her intuition and emphasized the need for respect and permission when sharing insights with others. Helen agreed and added that as healers or intuitives, it's important to respect people's free will and not take on their karma. They also discussed how some souls may not be ready to hear certain information, even if it's known or seen. Helen's Healing and Oracle Insights Helen shared her experience as a healer and intuitive, emphasizing the importance of confirming with a spirit team before delivering difficult news. She discussed her book, "The Oracle Will Speak," and offered three free gifts to readers: access to the Oracle Will Circle, a personalized feng shui birth element reading, and a $50 discount on a Rainbow Aura Meditation Bundle.

The Mineral Reset: Restoring energy, balance, and vitality from the inside out — featuring Caroline Alan
Mar 3100:28:05Tap to summarizeCaroline shares her powerful personal journey from a high-performing career in the tech world—one that left her physically, mentally, and energetically depleted—to a path of profound healing and purpose. After years of struggling with chronic inflammation, gut issues, fatigue, sleep disruption, and adrenal burnout, she experienced a turning point through the use of plant-based minerals. What began as personal healing quickly evolved into a deep scientific exploration of cellular biology, microbiology, soil science, and the body’s innate intelligence. That journey ultimately led her to co-found BEAM Minerals, alongside her partner Dan Howard, with a mission to restore health at its most foundational level: the cell. Together, Alana and Caroline explore the science behind mineral balance and why it is essential for proper cellular function, energy production, hydration, detoxification, and overall resilience. Caroline breaks down the concept of bioavailability—why many traditional supplements are not effectively absorbed—and explains how fulvic and humic plant-based minerals, derived from ancient plant matter, offer a full-spectrum, highly absorbable solution that works in harmony with the body. The conversation also sheds light on a critical issue impacting modern health: the widespread depletion of minerals in our soil and food supply. Even those eating clean, organic diets may still be operating at a deficit, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, inflammation, irritability, and an overtaxed nervous system. Caroline reframes many chronic conditions as potential signs of cellular mineral deficiency—inviting listeners to consider a new root-cause perspective on health. Blending science with lived experience, Alana and Caroline also explore the connection between physical vitality and abundance. How does the state of your body influence your clarity, focus, emotional regulation, and ability to lead? What if burnout isn’t just about doing too much—but about the body lacking the foundational resources it needs to function optimally? Caroline shares her experience building BEAM Minerals, the mindset shifts required to move from corporate burnout to purpose-driven entrepreneurship, and the deeper understanding that true healing—and true abundance—begins within. Listeners will also get an introduction to BEAM’s plant-based mineral products, including fulvic and humic blends designed for ease of use and optimal absorption, as well as a preview of Caroline’s upcoming book, The Mineral Reset, releasing in spring 2026. This episode is both educational and empowering—offering practical insights, a fresh perspective on health, and a powerful reminder that reclaiming your energy is not only possible… it is essential. If you’ve been feeling depleted, foggy, or disconnected from your vitality, this conversation may be the missing link you’ve been searching for. https://www.carolinealan.com FREE GIFT: Experience calm & clarity with Alana’s Guided Meditation https://www.alanacahoon.com/ CONNECT with Alana https://www.facebook.com/alana.cahoon.balance https://www.instagram.com/alana_cahoon/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/alana-cahoon-4571201/ Visit Alana's website https://www.alanacahoon.com/ where peace and abundance comes in all different forms!

Oct 1400:30:54Tap to summarizeMastermind Journey from Crisis to SuccessJay shared his journey from starting a successful 7-figure business to losing everything during the 2008 financial crisis, ending up in a basement. Despite the humiliation and shame, he credits a mastermind group with supporting him through that difficult period, ultimately helping him rebuild his life and business. This experience led him to become a mastermind facilitator, as he believes in the transformative power of these groups to provide emotional, spiritual, and financial support.Masterminds: Collective Wisdom and TrustJay explained the original concept of a mastermind as developed by Napoleon Hill, emphasizing the power of collective wisdom and deep relationships among participants. He distinguished masterminds from group coaching by highlighting the shift from a "guru-to-student" dynamic to a more collaborative and intimate one, fostering deeper connections and trust. Alana shared her experience creating a similar environment in a CEO Roundtable program, noting the effectiveness of helping participants open up about personal and professional challenges. Both speakers underscored the transformative potential of masterminds in building supportive communities and addressing real-life issues.Mastermind Group Dynamics and SuccessJay discussed the importance of creating a safe and respectful environment in mastermind groups to foster trust and encourage personal sharing.

Jay also shared his experience in coaching healers and life coaches, highlighting the nuances involved in building a strong group dynamic. Alana inquired about Jay's process for turning a pre-planned mastermind into a six-figure business, to which Jay mentioned having a step-by-step course to guide others in creating and launching a mastermind within 60 days.Mastermind Events for Business GrowthJay discussed his 3-day virtual events designed to help participants create their own masterminds by identifying their strengths and superpowers. He emphasized that the events, priced at $47, provide a roadmap for building a simple business model without needing complex sales funnels or large email lists. Jay explained that the events are transformative, with participants often rearranging their schedules to attend all three days due to the value received. He also introduced the concept of the "fewer, better, longer" mastermind model, which focuses on attracting high-quality clients, keeping them for extended periods, and reducing client churn.Types of Masterminds and FacilitationJay discussed his approach to masterminds, explaining that he runs three different types: a local in-person mastermind for entrepreneurs in Pittsburgh, a peer mastermind for business owners in similar markets, and a client mastermind that includes coaching and mentoring. He emphasized that the role of a mastermind facilitator varies depending on the program's focus, whether it's primarily facilitation, coaching, or mentoring. Alana expressed interest in Jay's upcoming virtual weekend mastermind and highlighted the importance of community in today's digital world, noting that masterminds provide a confidential space for personal and professional growth.Mastermind Model and Coach MagazineJay shared his website, 6figuremasterminds.com, and social media profiles, and offered a free PDF and video training on the "fewer, better, longer" mastermind model.
