On Cosmic Confluence with host Sana, certified health and executive life coach Barbara Palmer unpacks a clear, working model of the mind’s three layers—conscious (the planner), subconscious (the autopilot storing memories and patterns), and superconscious (the integrator that sees connections and supports change). We discuss why grit alone often snaps us back to old habits, how superconscious-led methods like MAP and transformational imagery help update patterns safely, and where coaching should collaborate with clinical care. This is a grounded conversation for leaders and high achievers who want results without bypassing grief, trauma, or accountability.
About the guest:Barbara Palmer is a certified health and executive life coach, brain-based practitioner, and author of “Healthy, Happy, Whole.” She helps leaders and high performers identify resistant subconscious patterns, engage the superconscious to rewire them, and create sustainable, values-aligned action.
Key takeaways :-
The conscious mind handles 5–8% of our processing; the subconscious runs 24/7, automating body systems, memories, and learned patterns.
-
Superconscious awareness “sees the whole system,” connecting thoughts, emotions, behaviors, physiology, and energy—then helps bridge conscious intent with subconscious change.
-
Willpower alone often triggers a rubber-band effect: initial stretch toward a new self, followed by a snap back to old programming.
-
Methods like MAP and transformational imagery invite the superconscious to treat, rewire, and integrate patterns so progress holds without overloading the nervous system.
-
High achievers default to sprint mode; “wise dosing” (small, safe inputs) reduces overwhelm and supports durable rewiring.
-
You can’t fool your subconscious or superconscious; attempts at spiritual bypassing are detected by inner state, not slogans.
-
You are the highest authority for your health decisions; blending coaching, traditional medicine, therapy, prayer, or meditation is a valid, personal choice.
-
Alignment isn’t perfection; it’s honest course-correction by a few degrees—the shifts that change outcomes over time.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
