Episode 19: Living with Multiple Sclerosis: The Healing Layer Nobody Talks About
4w ago00:45:51Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailHealing Beyond the Body: MS, Nervous System Safety, and Remembering Wholeness with Dana Wylder.This LifeVision Lab podcast explores “healing beyond the body” as integration across physical, mental, emotional, nervous system, and energetic layers. The host interviews Dana, who describes living “from the neck up” due to an unsafe childhood, running away, addiction, perfectionism, and later an abusive relationship, leading to chronic disconnection from her body. After symptoms began during her second pregnancy—amid grief for her firstborn son—she was diagnosed with MS, told she’d be in a wheelchair within 10 years, and initially responded by trying to “overcome” it. Over time she realized relentless problem-solving kept her ego’s “manager” active, and that healing required acceptance, safety, and somatic regulation rather than force. They discuss being-before-doing, inspired action, boundaries, meditation, sound and biofield work, limits of talk therapy, and using symptoms as a compass for alignment, ending with gratitude as a foundational practice.00:00 Introduction — A Gentle Invitation to Come Home02:14 Dana's Story — Living From the Neck Up06:41 The MS Diagnosis — When the Body Refused to Be Ignored13:19 Radical Acceptance + Radical Responsibility17:08 The Layers of Healing — The Koshas21:57 Sound Healing, Plants & The Shared Field27:32 From Understanding to Embodiment — Quieting the Mind31:39 Nervous System Safety — Healing From the Body Up41:00 Wholeness — The Gift of the Compass43:30 Closing Invitation — Gratitude as a PracticeGet in touch with Dana - https://energyovermatter.com/IG - @energy.over.matterSupport the show✨ Connect with LifeVision Lab Website: www.lifevisionlablvl.com Instagram: @thelifevisionlab YouTube: LifeVision Lab Channel☕ Support the Podcast & Explore Rituals Shop LifeVision Lab Ritual Kits, teas, scented candles, ritual cards and journals: Shop Now🎙 Share the Love If you enjoyed this episode, please rate & review on Apple Podcasts, YouTube or Spotify — it helps more people discover the show.

Apr 700:48:59Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWhat if your struggle with food has nothing to do with willpower — and everything to do with identity, self-worth, and a prison you built yourself?In this episode, I sit down with Regina Oswald — ICF certified coach, fashion designer, philanthropist, and author of Liberation from the Diet Prison — who spent 30 years doing everything "right" according to diet culture… and still felt trapped.We go deep on the psychology behind why diets fail, what emotional eating is really telling you, and how the "Diet Prison" effect keeps you stuck in a cycle that drains your energy, your joy, and your ability to actually live.This one hit close to home for me — and I think it will for you too.🔗 Connect with Regina Oswald:📖 Liberation from the Diet Prison — Available on Amazon📸 Instagram: @reginaoswald_wellbeing💻 Website: https://www.reginaoswald.com/🌿 Join The Shift Lab (Free Community): https://www.skool.com/the-shift-lab-2671/about🛍️ Explore LifeVision Lab Digital Tools: https://shop.lifevisionlablvl.com/collections/ritual-reset-vault%E2%84%A2📲 Follow us @thelifevisionlab00:00 Welcome to LifeVision Lab00:57 Last Episode Feedback01:23 Meet Regina Oswald02:39 Roots of Dieting05:08 Life in Diet Prison08:35 Pandemic Trigger Point11:12 Turning Point and Method13:02 Beyond Eat Less Move More18:02 Iceberg and Stress Biology22:30 Why Nine Weeks24:08 Autopilot Habits Analogy25:28 Breaking Emotional Eating26:50 Analyze Plan Reward32:08 Daily Joy Practice33:38 Style As Self Care36:30 Body Mind Harmony Formula37:43 Future Self Motivation40:42 Worthiness And Self Sabotage42:13 Where To Find The Book44:45 Rapid Fire Round47:43 Final Reflections And Next StepsSupport the show✨ Connect with LifeVision Lab Website: www.lifevisionlablvl.com Instagram: @thelifevisionlab YouTube: LifeVision Lab Channel☕ Support the Podcast & Explore Rituals Shop LifeVision Lab Ritual Kits, teas, scented candles, ritual cards and journals: Shop Now🎙 Share the Love If you enjoyed this episode, please rate & review on Apple Podcasts, YouTube or Spotify — it helps more people discover the show.

Mar 2400:36:33Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailWhat if happiness isn't something you find — it's something you remember?In this episode, I sit down with author, speaker, and life coach Terry Bean, creator of the children's book Abracadabra, to explore a simple but powerful idea: every child arrives in this world with an inner magic — a natural state of wonder, curiosity, and joy — and somewhere along the way, most of us trade it in for productivity, approval-seeking, and seriousness.But that magic never actually left. It's just buried.Terry and I explore why children are the least empowered demographic and what we can do about it, how happiness is a practice not a destination, the emotional scale and why healing isn't a straight line from pain to joy, the one morning ritual that can pre-pave your entire day, Terry's "emotional sunscreen" technique for walking into hard conversations with more calm and confidence, and what it really means to reconnect with your inner child.This one will hit differently if you've ever watched your child light up with pure joy and quietly thought — I used to feel that way too.The magic is still there. This conversation will help you find it.About Terry Bean: Terry Bean is an author, speaker, and life and executive coach with over 14 years of work behind Abracadabra — a children's book about the power within every child to choose happiness, create mantras, and build a life they genuinely love.

Transcribe →Episode 15: Crohn’s Disease & Autoimmune Healing: The Nervous System Link You Need to Know
Feb 2400:40:00Tap to summarizeSend us Fan MailSacred Illness & Nervous System Healing: Dr. Erin on Crohn’s Remission, Trauma, and the Wisdom of SymptomsIn this Life Vision Lab podcast episode, host Shwetha speaks with Dr. Erin, a naturopathic doctor, Somatic Experiencing practitioner, and certified intuitive eating counselor, creator of the Sacred Illness Blueprint. Dr. Erin shares her early-twenties Crohn’s disease diagnosis labeled incurable, how she resisted a prognosis centered on lifelong medication and surgery, and how her condition is now in remission without symptoms, medications, or surgery. She traces her path from conventional treatment to studying nutrition, herbal medicine, and naturopathic medicine, and describes a pivotal shift after taking mind-body medicine courses and training in biofeedback, which led her to focus on trauma, nervous system regulation, and somatic work. The conversation explores the idea of “sacred illness” as a meaningful communication from the body, the distinction between diagnosis and prognosis, and how chronic fight-or-flight patterns can drive chronic symptoms by disrupting digestion, muscles, and immunity. Dr. Erin explains her approach to helping clients communicate with the body to uncover what illness is holding, shares client examples involving chronic back pain tied to betrayal and women’s reproductive issues linked to matrilineal trauma, and discusses how surgery (including hysterectomy) can be part of holistic care without being seen as failure. She outlines her nine-step Sacred Illness Blueprint in three phases—understanding what the body is holding, facing and rewiring trauma-based beliefs, and embodying a new self—and closes with guidance for listeners to view pain as a signal inviting attention, curiosity, and deeper listening.00:00 Introduction02:28 Dr. Erin's Diagnosis Story07:39 The Journey to Naturopathic Medicine11:10 Mind-Body Connection Discovery12:58 The Sacred Illness Blueprint18:07 The Role of the Nervous System20:44 Where Trauma Lives in the Body28:18 Client Transformation Stories30:20 Women's Health & Hysterectomy37:16 Final Message for ListenersConnect with Dr.Erin - www.aurorasomatic.com/beginSupport the show✨ Connect with LifeVision Lab Website: www.lifevisionlablvl.com Instagram: @thelifevisionlab YouTube: LifeVision Lab Channel☕ Support the Podcast & Explore Rituals Shop LifeVision Lab Ritual Kits, teas, scented candles, ritual cards and journals: Shop Now🎙 Share the Love If you enjoyed this episode, please rate & review on Apple Podcasts, YouTube or Spotify — it helps more people discover the show.
