Anyone curious about the science behind trauma, the truth about what happens after we die, or why the hell they still can't seem to calm down no matter what they try will find something in this conversation worth holding onto.

What happens when a retired Navy commander who spent 20 years working with the US submarine force also happens to help ghosts cross over? You get one of the most unexpected and genuinely fascinating conversations we have had on Even Tacos Fall Apart.

Tina Erwin joined us for Mental Health Monday, and she did not disappoint. Tina has written nine books on metaphysics, developed the Crossing Over Prayer, and spent decades helping trauma survivors understand something most doctors never look at: what adrenaline actually does to the body after trauma, and how to get it out.

Adrenaline doesn't just flush out of your system after a traumatic event. It can stay in the body for years, quietly poisoning everything. Tina calls it adrenaline poisoning, and she explains how it connects to a condition called pyroluria, a deficiency in vitamin B6 and other key nutrients that can trigger rage, anxiety and in some cases murderous ideation in people who have no idea why they feel the way they do. She has worked with veterans, abuse survivors and teenagers who had been failed by every conventional approach, and she has seen people transform once the nutritional and biological piece gets addressed alongside everything else.

Then there is the ghost work, and yes, it is exactly what it sounds like. Tina helps earthbound spirits cross over, and she teaches regular people to do it themselves through the Crossing Over Prayer, which is free on her website. She walks through why some spirits do not cross, what it feels like to live in a haunted space without knowing it, and why she believes you should not have to hire a psychic to help your own loved ones move on. She also shares a true crime story involving remote viewing, a storage unit in Virginia and a missing woman who had been trafficked for over a year. It is the kind of story that is hard to shake.

What ties all of it together is Tina's core belief that science and spirituality are not in conflict. They are, as she puts it, the same thing. Whether she is talking about quantum entanglement, nutritional deficiencies or helping a guilt-ridden ghost finally accept that they are loved, she is always pointing toward the same goal: helping people stop surviving and start actually living.
