Episodes
This is a fascinating conversation with Dr. Derrick Hines, Physical Therapist and host of The Pain & Performance Podcast. We discuss the intersection of mental and physical health – overcoming the false distinction created by Western culture, as well as the role of HOPE in healing.
Humans have a sacred vocation to restore balance in the world and our lives, which entails bringing about accountability and reciprocity. In order to do this, we must restore balance within us, dislodging guilt and shame, to be responsible for ourselves. This allows us to reclaim our dignity and empower others around us.
Listen in on a therapy session between Bronwyn & fellow therapist Kyira Wackett, host of the Untethering Shame podcast. As Kyira shares her lifelong struggle with codependency, Bronwyn leads her in Integration exercises that foster self-attachment as the antidote.
This episode exemplifies what we can do for ourselves to break free of codependent behaviors such as self-gaslighting, learning to trust ourselves and healing the rif...
In this raw and informative conversation between Bronwyn and the host of ThERINpy podcast, Erin Washington, we help Erin reclaim her dignity by relinquishing the role of scapegoat she played in her marriage. We also discuss shame, parenting, triggers and of course, anger. Erin represents many women who are kind but naive to how they've served as a scapegoat for those around them, and Erin's journey is both inspirational and empow...
Bronwyn and psychiatrist Dr. Caroline Giroux discuss the human need for closure and how this can foster compulsive control over our lives and those around us. We reflect on the role of shame in this formula, and how to release it -- giving ourselves the closure and completion we need.
Bronwyn and Alecia Jacobson, host of Spirit of a Badass podcast, have a raw and honest conversation about anger. We span from the personal to global, discussing the fallout of our lives, families and society, and everything in between.
Starting at minute 31 we move outward, discussing healthy responses to what is happening in our world today, reflecting on how to cultivate hope while simultaneously feeling our anger at the darknes...
Forgiveness is a choice not to foster hatred, but it doesn't mean we don't feel it when we think of the person... or ride by their house. The relationship between hate, love and forgiveness is more nuanced than we've been taught, and is designed to give us wisdom.
Bronwyn shares with Katie the profound conversation she had with her mother about parental rejection, exploring the paradox of how children desperately need their parents but don’t know it – as parents are also the source of their pain. Bronwyn offers insights on being a secure base for our children.
A deep conversation between a therapist and psychiatrist about sexual trauma, emotional neglect, shame, and the healing process. They discuss the complexity of sexual abuse, the trauma behind the trauma, and how to break cycles of shame.

A personal shame story that nearly killed me, but instead birthed wisdom.
To be fully alive, we must guard against and remove every trace of death. We have to recognize shame for what it is, and how it stealthily spreads from one person to another, like contagion. We learn to fight the shame but not its host, simply by having our eyes open, and rejecting it when it’s thrown our way. Instead, we learn to be a mirror, held up to kin...
Denial is powerful and is fueling worldwide chaos through tyranny. Yet there is a truth provocative enough to break it, causing MAGA followers to be confronted with their own childhood pain. It is a truth that will soon be revealed, and it will break the spell.
The principle fostering a healthy birth is the same that underlies healthy child development: parents must embrace their limits and very death in order for the child to have life and to flourish. In other words, the death of the parent begets the life of the child.
The question isn’t if we have a devouring parent, because all humans have a natural bent to devour. The question is how we respond to our parents. Many people want to fo...
Listen in on another vulnerable conversation between Bronwyn & Kyira, both therapists, as they share their own challenges and insights on engaging with their parents. This conversation broaches the conflict many feel, as we see how our unhealed wounds of childhood affect us today. Which begs the question: how do we have a relationship with that parent? What do we do with all our resentment – so it doesn’t spill out on our own c...
Shame is a key component in trauma. It is not a feeling, but a deep-rooted and false belief system that divides us from our very self. Shame prohibits us from trusting ourselves and giving ourselves the approval and love we need. Shame is weaponized by abusive people, creating a cycle of dependency upon them. Ultimately, shame is the common enemy of all humanity, but we can beat it. Bronwyn walks us through a powerful Integration e...
OCD develops when we dissociate from our anger and it takes on a life of its own, becoming something that feels scary and out of control. When we finally allow ourselves to connect to the anger and understand it, it’s no longer dangerous or guilt-producing. When we are responsible for our anger, we master it, instead of it mastering us... and making us sick.
We live in a culture, including within the mental health community, that is pain-avoidant. Pain isn’t enjoyable, but it serves a vital purpose, both physically and mentally. It’s there to give us wisdom and illuminate truth. As much as we humans are inclined to avoid pain, it’s where the treasure lies. All wisdom and truth, like buried treasure, is found in the heart of the abyss. The depths are dark and frightening, but those who ...
Listen in on an incredibly vulnerable conversation between Bronwyn & Kyira, both therapists, as they share their lived experiences and insights of emotional suppression. Specifically, how suppression of past emotions affects the present, causing unnecessary pain.
Bronwyn leads Kyira in a spontaneous and powerful integration exercise, which brings closure and completion.

No one rescues anyone else, but a true healer helps us rescue ourselves. Any philosophy that teaches otherwise, just isn’t true. Each one of us is more powerful than we know.
Complicated grief stems from never having fully procured the approval of our attachment figures, which creates shame and compulsive behavior. Yet we can give ourselves closure and peace, putting parental ghosts to rest. Bronwyn leads us in an Integration exercise to do just that.
It's imperative to know the difference between a healthy heart and an underdeveloped one. A heart needs to be adequately defended, but not excessively. A healthy human has empathy for both self and other, and learns to surrender false hope for people who refuse to embrace their humanity.
