In this episode, Katie is talking about her own former battle with her body image and how that battle was impacting her experience with pain.For most of her adult life, starting in high school, Katie really struggled with body image. She recalls looking in the mirror with horror, wishing she looked different…and hating her reflection. Regardless of what her weight was at any given time, Katie never felt comfortable in her body. She was either “too fat” or “too skinny” or “a little round” or “my ass is still too big”. It wasn’t until Cognomovement that Katie was able to turn that around and accept her physical body. Doing so not only helped Katie admire her reflection rather than loathe it, it also helped release more of her pain.In this episode, you will learn: Katie’s former struggles with her weight and how they were laced into her experience with painHow Cognomovement can help you lose weightHow Cognomovement can shift your body image perceptionIf you loved this episode and you got a lot out of it, leave a review and share your biggest takeaway with me.

In this episode of The Pain Changer™ podcast, I speak with Dr Christopher Boyhan about chiropractic and a specific branch of chiropractic called chirodontics. This was a new term for me, and I am officially fascinated by what chirodontics can do to help you!Dr. Boyhan was born and raised in Northern New Jersey where he was a competitive student-athlete in both football and wrestling.

He has narrowed the essential elements of health down to nerve flow, exercise, and water.  Simple and oh-so-important!Boyhan earned his undergraduate degree in Sports Medicine from William Paterson University with honors and was awarded honors at Sherman College of Chiropractic where he earned his Doctorate degree.Prior to becoming a chiropractor, he worked as an athletic trainer for ten years at the collegiate and high school level, and also worked as a medical devices sales representative for orthopaedic trauma and spinal surgery in the Northeast region of the U.S.In his free time, Boyhan does his "neurology homework" and learns powerful new health and wellness additions to his practice like chirodontics, the best water systems, and more!I really enjoyed this conversation with Chris! He is entertaining, insightful and very passionate about his work. You’ve heard me say it before and I will say it again: that passion is something to look for in a provider, as they will be giving you more of themselves with that drive to help you.In this episode, you will learn: How the bones in your skull affect your entire bodyWhat happens when pain or a diagnosis becomes part of your identityDifferent ways a stress response will show up in the body: like an asthma attackThe importance of going upstream to solve the problemIf you loved this episode and you got a lot out of it, leave a review and share your biggest takeaway with me.

In this episode of The Pain Changer™ podcast, I’m diving into a fear of rejection that I found within a pesky shoulder issue that’s been nagging me for years. As I examined this fear within life…I couldn’t unsee all the places it was affecting me: in business. In relationships. Fear of rejection was keeping me small, and scared. So I did a Cognomovement session after recording the first part of this episode…to compare how I felt before and after. I had NO idea whether I would be able to delete a layer in one session or not…but I was willing to try. In this case…I took away a massive layer of fear of rejection, and immediately things shifted in my business and relationship, within minutes. It was amazing! I walked away really wondering whether rejection is even a real thing. Are we being rejected…or does rejection actually have nothing to do with us??In this episode, you will learn: How fear of rejection keeps us stuck, it keeps us small and inside our box.Why it is the cock blocker of dreamsWays it can show up as physical pain in the bodyHow fear of rejection keeps us from stepping into our power and being our true authentic selvesIf you loved this episode and you got a lot out of it, leave a review and share your biggest takeaway with me.

In this episode of The Pain Changer™ podcast, EFT Practitioner Lauren Fonvielle came back to tell us more about EFT and how it can help you change your pain. Lauren is an Integrative Energy Practitioner, specializing in EFT/ Tapping for stress, anxiety, and trauma. She guides her clients on a journey of self-healing to break through obstacles - physical, mental, or emotional - that are keeping them stuck and holding them back in life or business.She believes we all have the answers within,  and sometimes we just need a little help accessing them.This episode was recorded after 3 of the 8 sessions I booked with Lauren for EFT. I highly recommend working with her. We started with adrenal fatigue and how I felt about it. Then as that cleared…I found all these other blocks with my business and my romantic partner…and Lauren helped me work through those and release them. She meets her clients with zero judgment and a compassionate smile…creating a very welcoming place to safely explore what’s inside.In our last session which was focused on my left shoulder, which had been bothering me more and more…we found some fear of rejection. My shoulder noticeably leveled out during that session! With every session, I could feel a big difference in my body, and I have started to integrate more EFT into my Cognomovement sessions with clients.In this episode, you will learn: We have many layers to our patterns and unhealthy habits. So even if we’ve worked on a pattern previously and thought we dealt with it, there is most likely more depth to these patterns/unhealthy habits that need to be released and let go of. EFT can help with thisFor most of us, fear will take over/control what we do and prevent us from doing the things we want to do in life. EFT tapping can help us release this fear.Give yourself a moment, even for just 5 minutes, to just pause, sit, be, do absolutely nothing. “The pause will pay off.”Making note of where you are starting and measuring your progress is the key to “seeing” success. Whatever that looks like for you, lessened pain, fear, judgment, or a block or stuckness you’re going through for your business.If you loved this episode and you got a lot out of it, leave a review and share your biggest takeaway with me.

Are you someone who struggles with judgment? Either fearing judgment…or finding yourself judging others? You aren’t alone in that…society tends to lead you towards judging others. You can flip the script on judgment though.Judgment is actually a mirror. If you are fearing judgment, there’s a reason. If you are judging someone else…there’s a reason. And that reason has nothing to do with the person you are judging…judgment is ALWAYS about us. Always.This week on The Pain Changer™ I went back to my first solo episode in months! It’s a short episode to help you turn judgment into a tool you can use to help yourself…rather than continuing to allow it to hurt your body.In this episode, you will learn: Judgment is not always a negative thingWe can use judgment to see where we need to do work within ourselves by getting curious:“Why is this thing bothering me? Where am I judging myself?”Positive judgment can be used where we want to manifest things in our lives:“Ohh what a beautiful way to spend your time and/or money! I’d love that for myself!” If you loved this episode and you got a lot out of it, leave a review and share your biggest takeaway with me.

After buying everything he wanted on his wishlist, he realized that he still wasn’t happy. He listened to his deep-down desire to help more people by leaving finance to eventually own three Anytime Fitness health clubs, four uBreakiFix cell phone repair stores, and a tech startup.As someone vulnerable to technology’s addictive hold from a young age—video games and Facebook in particular—Rob is on a mission to help individuals and companies reduce stress and get back time to master their careers and lives. He founded Humans First to provide a one-of-a-kind consulting experience that analyzes people’s efficiency and energy by paying attention to their technology mindfulness.Rob thinks there is always something to be learned from everyone, and he lets his curiosity guide conversations.
