  • Dr. Gabrielle Pelicci, Author of All This Healing Is Killing Me
    May 28 2024
    “Dr. Gabby” (Gabrielle Pelicci, Ph.D.) is a TED speaker, a professor, an expert on Global Wellness & Psychedelics, and the bestselling author of the memoir, ALL THIS HEALING IS KILLING ME. With over 3000 hours of training in Yoga, Bodywork, Meditation, Mind-Body Medicine, Energy Healing, Herbalism and Health Coaching, she guides people and groups towards wholeness using writing as medicine. Her work was rooted in a traumatic childhood that included growing up in a home with sever domestic violence, and a lifetime of keeping it largely to herself. As she writes in her memoir, she was only three years old the first time she saw her father hit her mother, seven when he tried to kill her, and eight, the year her parents divorced. Her mother never quite recovered, and Gaby spent a lifetime outrunning the trauma, through a modeling career, various failed relationships, and a whole lot of academic success, which didn’t really soothe what ailed her at all. She studied at Columbia and did a doctorate in Transformative Studies. Her journey is detailed in her memoir, including how she found psychedelic plant medicine, which she says not only reset her nervous system, but on many levels, also changed her life. On today’s podcast we talk about the history of plant medicine, both traditional and psychedelic, the first war on drugs way back in the middle ages, and what’s been lost as we’ve cut traditional healing practices out of our lives. We explore the Stoned Ape Theory, discuss Steve Jobs’ first LSD trip, and why so many people think they can out-achieve their traumas. We look at all of the ways that we numb ourselves to survive, which works at first, until it doesn’t, and we find ourselves at a loss to access the vulnerability that is required to heal. Dr. Gabby’s father’s violence may have muted her and it may have helped shaped her, but it never did break her. After years of searching she was able to hold both her father and mother accountable for their choices during her childhood, even after their deaths. But the best part is that she found herself able to forgive herself for the things that she needed to. And even though for a while there all that healing really was killing her…nowadays she feels like it’s all blue skies ahead. About Gabrielle: https://www.gabriellepelicci.com/ The Release Podcast:

  • Carrie Bobb, The Survivor And Namesake Of Carrie's Law
    May 21 2024
    Is bravery a muscle? Can fighting the system that protects your attackers, help a rape survivor to heal?
 Carrie Bobb is a mom, a wife, an entrepreneur, and a real estate industry leader, who also happens to be the survivor behind Carrie’s Law. She was blazing trails all along, starting with the real estate world where she handled nearly 2 billion dollars worth of sales volume and was a rising star at a major real estate company. Then at a conference in 2018, she was drugged and raped by a man at her own company, and was not only shocked when the details came in to focus, but horrified and traumatized all over again to learn that her employment contract required confidentiality and mandatory arbitration in cases of physical sexual assault. So she, like many, was forced into a confidential arbitration process with the company, which left her silenced. But not for long. On today’s podcast we talk about the bipartisan bill she introduced to Congress, lobbied for, and ultimately got passed in 2022, with the help of the many good people she found along the way. The passage of Carrie’s Law outlawed mandatory arbitration clauses which existed in as many as 60 million employment contracts across the country. We examine the courage it takes to go public with something like this, how past regrets can inspire us towards action, and the moment when her faith finally convinced her to take up the fight, because someone had to. We talk about healing, and rage, and self-censorship…and how she explained it all to her supportive husband. The way that she summarized it to her children was this: Mama was heading to Washington to fight some bullies. And, mama won.

  • Jodi Wellman, Author of You Only Die Once
    May 13 2024
    Is cultivating an active awareness of death the only surefire way to make the most of our lives?
 Poonam sits down with Jodi Wellman, a TED speaker, coach, and thought leader on well-being and living lives worth living. A former corporate executive who executed a midlife shift, Jodi earned her Master’s in Applied Positive Psychology from the University of Pennsylvania, where she is now an instructor in the Master’s program and a trainer in the world-renowned Penn Resilience Program. Jodi’s latest book, YOU ONLY DIE ONCE, is a battle call, to wake us up to the concept of 'memento mori' (the beautiful awareness of the fact that we will die) which should help us feel more alive. After her own mother’s early death, she awoke to that reality herself, finally changing her own trajectory from passive to astonishingly alive in things big and small, going from corporate life to the one she leads now. In this episode, we talk about Terror Management Theory, the science of death anxiety, how we're tranquilizing ourselves out of actually feeling alive, the Gross National Happiness Levels in Bhutan, and the power of counting how many Mondays we each have left on the planet. It's fewer than you think. And even those are not guaranteed.
