Mapping Soulful Listening with Terri Lonowski

Mapping Grief & Autoimmunity with Kerry Jeffery
The grief that surrounds an autoimmune diagnosis should not be overlooked as an impactful Trigger and Mediator in the further expression of signs and symptoms related to the condition.

Mapping Perfectionism with Michelle Shapiro
On this episode of the podcast, my dear friend Michelle Shapiro speaks to us about the importance of creating a safe space so that we can break down our barriers of perfectionism. Our fear of failure keeps us driving past the point of comfort and sustainability.

Mapping Collective Trauma with Thomas Hübl
This conversation may be one of my favorites to date, and I’m hoping you feel the same. Thomas Hübl illuminates the ways that collective trauma can and will show up in our lives. It’s my belief that as healers we have a job and a calling that includes our own healing journey and the recognition of the ways in which we carry collective trauma. This episode brings that to the forefront of our minds, hearts and spirits, and Thomas is the most gracious messenger.
Mapping Resilience with Eileen McDargh
Resilience is one of my favorite topics. It’s a curious inner compass and, as my guest on this episode, Eileen McDargh explains, it’s a “life skill, not an incident skill”. Tune-in to this highly practical episode where Eileen shares both clinical pearls and critical “reframes” for shifting our perspectives on stress and the inner talk that keeps many of us stuck in thought patterns that don’t serve.
Mapping Movement with Kelly McGonigal
Movement may be the single most important lifestyle factor to improve well being as my guest on this episode, the renowned health psychologist Kelly McGonigal, explains. In this conversation we’ll explore the science of movement but also the many benefits to the full body systems and functions… particularly the health and function of the brain!

Laughter in a healing protocol is not only a form of “medicine”, but it’s also a non-negotiable. In this episode I introduce you to my longtime friend and colleague Dr. Cory Reddish. We discuss the importance of laughter, why we need laughter, and how levity, optimism, joy, smiles, and belly laughs can lead to relief from many common symptoms.

When it comes to the healing power of meditation, Emily Fletcher is my go-to resource and I’m excited to introduce you to her in this episode. We explore stress, resilience, and meditation through a scientific yet practical lens, the #1 tool to embrace meditation, plus how to work with your mind so you don’t feel like a meditation failure.
Mapping Breath with Allison Post
Breath work is a powerful tool that we each have access to. It has the potential to decrease stress, and improve mood, metabolism, cardiovascular function, energy levels, digestion and more. Somatic Educator Allison Post is a master at “unwinding the belly”. She uses breath as a mechanism for deep healing as she shares in this episode.
Mapping Therapeutic Love with Dr. Venu Julapalli
This was the perfect week to spend some time with my good friend Dr. Venu Julapalli, and when you tune-in, you’ll find out why. While Dr. Julapalli is a trained gastroenterologist, he also celebrates and honors the importance of the therapeutic bond between practitioner and patient. So much so, that he refers to it as “therapeutic love”. Don’t miss this poignant episode!
