If you've done years of inner work and still feel stuck in the same patterns, you probably inherited your trauma.
Mark is the director of The Family Constellation Institute and the author of It Didn't Start with You, a book that has sold more than three million copies and reframed how we think about depression, anxiety, and chronic illness that seem to come out of nowhere.
I've been a family constellation zealot for years, and this conversation gets at the thing I've struggled to explain to people who assume this work is magical thinking.
Mark walks through the actual mechanics of how a grandmother's car accident can show up as a granddaughter's self-injury decades later, and why conventional psychiatry keeps missing it.
We talk about the Harvard Mastery of Stress study, the three unconscious ways we reproduce a broken bond with a parent, and the specific milestones (marriage, pregnancy, moving, rejection) that tend to trigger inherited patterns.
If you've ever wondered whether a fear, a symptom, or a relationship pattern is actually yours, this is the episode that gives you a way to tell.
Mark also shares why he rewrote his book after all these years, and what he's found about attachment breaks that changed how he works with almost everyone who walks in his door.

176: Why Women Were Trained to Suppress Their Eroticism | Regena Thomashauer

The day Mama Gena’s life was designed to collapse was the same day she chose to turn herself on instead.
Regena Thomashauer, known to most as Mama Gena, is the founder of the School of Womanly Arts and the author of five books, including the New York Times bestseller Pussy: A Reclamation. Her new book, On Our Knees, is the reason we had this conversation.
I have followed her work for years, and reading this book felt like being caught up on decades of her life in a single sitting. Our paths could not look more different on paper. Mine ran through psychiatric wards in New York with suicidal women coming off medications. Hers ran through living rooms filled with women in sequins and feathers. The conclusion we both landed on about what a woman's life is actually for turned out to be identical.
This conversation is about aliveness as a discipline. It is about what a woman does when she gets sued, taxed, divorced, and asked to deliver a career-defining event in the same 24 hours. Mama Gena calls the practice volitional heat.
If you have been told you are too much, this one is for you.

Is it possible to have a relationship with a narcissist?
That question kicks off this episode, and the answer sits far outside the usual "set boundaries and move on" advice.
Boundaries aren't a personality trait. They're a container. Sometimes they mean blocking a number. Sometimes they mean a full blackout from your family of origin so you can step out of the trauma field long enough to hear yourself.
The relationship with your mother matters more than almost any other work you'll do. She's the anima imprint you project onto every woman, every doctor, every system of care. Resentment toward her chokes off creativity, vitality, and erotic energy in ways most women never trace back to the source.
Family constellation work changed my life on this exact issue, and I explain why I recommend it before any deeper trauma modality. Compassion, neutrality, and even harmony are on the table. None of it requires her to become the mother she couldn't be.

174: They've Brainwashed You to Think Psych Meds Are Good, But They Make You Worse
A Yale study found that 1 in 23 people prescribed an antidepressant go on to be diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and the field calls that "unmasking" rather than causation.
I trained as one of the first 300 reproductive psychiatrists in the world, and I stopped writing prescriptions in 2010 after research on long-term outcomes reframed everything I'd been taught about efficacy and safety.
The recent Lindsay Clancy case pulled me back into activist territory after years of stepping away from it.
This episode is my attempt to say what I thought I'd already said loudly enough. There's literature on treatment-emergent violence to self and others that most prescribers have never read. There's a phenomenon called tardive dysphoria. There's David Healy's work on stable volunteers becoming acutely suicidal after exposure to psychotropics.
If you've ever considered a psychiatric medication to get through a hard chapter, or if you love someone who has, this is the fuller picture I wish more people had access to before the prescription pad comes out.

173: The Dark Side of the "Community Culture" Nobody Talks About
Everyone tells you that you need to be in a community, but what if that was one of the most dangerous things you could do?
This is a solo episode, and I am walking through the arc of my own relationship to community, from Francis Weller's work on the village we never had, to the small circle of Waldorf mamas in Miami, to the plandemic years when intentional community felt like a lifeline.
A lot of what I chased did not hold. Friend groups fractured over values. The sovereign communities collapsed under interpersonal conflict. Even the online spaces started to feel like surrogate families carrying weight they were never designed to carry.
The tension I keep returning to is this: Community asks for a fixed set of shared beliefs. I am someone who evolves, changes my mind, and drops ideologies when they stop resonating for me. Those two things do not fit cleanly together.
I also share what my friend Alyssa is doing that seems to be working, and why the ache I felt listening to her did not translate into wanting her life.

172: Elisabeth McKay: Conventional Mental Health is Fixing The Wrong Thing
Save your seat for Kelly's Turn on Training, 8/12 at 12PM ET here.
Elisabeth "Bizzie" McKay built a behavior prediction technology that’s 98.3% accurate, and it exposes why most mental health diagnoses are pattern recognition wearing a lab coat.
Elisabeth is a tech founder, behavior futurist, and the creator of Brain Pattern Mapping and Break Method, a rewiring system built on 12 years of data across thousands of clients, prison populations, and residential programs.
I did her PredictiveMind™ session before we recorded, and one specific finding cracked open something I'd been circling for years: why I can be fully assertive in one dynamic and completely fawning in another. It comes down to perceived power, and until the Elisabeth named it, I couldn't see it.
Elisabeth describes her five brain pattern types, the separation of abandonment from rejection wounds, and why narrative talk therapy misses the actual root cause of behavior. She also explains why borderline and narcissism can shift, despite what the establishment claims.
If you've been sorting yourself with Instagram carousels and attachment labels, this conversation will make that framework feel very small.

171: Why Most Pet Owners Are Accidentally Making Their Animals Sick | Ditte Young
Save your seat for Kelly's Turn on Training, 8/12 at 12PM ET here.
Pet owners might be the cause of their pet’s sickness.
Ditte Young is a clairvoyant, an internationally renowned telepath featured on The Telepathy Tapes, a TEDx speaker, and a bestselling author whose work bridges animal communication, parenting, and intuitive development.
My karmic cat Mushu has triggered more inner work than almost anything else in my adult life, so this conversation went somewhere personal fast.
Ditte explains how animals experience pain, why none of the dying animals she has sat with were afraid, and what's really happening when your pet seems to be mirroring your emotional state. She also addresses the question I think many animal lovers privately wrestle with: how do you eat meat while loving animals as soulful beings?
Her answer surprised me. So did her perspective on why punishment fails with every species, and why one simple sentence spoken to your pet before you leave the house actually lands.

[6:16] How Ditte discovered she could hear animals as a sensitive child
[10:56] Why animals mirror our nervous systems and become more than just a pet

The reason discipline feels so hard isn't laziness, and it isn't a lack of motivation either.
This episode answers a listener's question about how to actually follow through on the things we choose for ourselves, and my answer reframes the whole conversation around the inner masculine and inner feminine. Most of us are running discipline through an inner tyrant that bullies, coerces, and shames us into action. That energy is a trauma field, not a practice.
There's a different way to relate to your commitments, and it starts with listening to the part of you that doesn't want to do the thing without doing it wrong.
Let’s get into the difference between muscling through and reaching a real consensus between your parts. The dishes, the dance classes, the 5:00 AM sadhana I kept for five years and then released in 2020, the mundane masculine initiations like leasing a car alone, all of it points at the same thing. Once the masculine container is set, the feminine can play.

169: The Science of Coherent Water | Mario Brainović
Coherent water can completely change your health on a cellular level, and there’s a wand that can turn any water into coherent water.
Mario Brainović is the founder of New Earth Technologies and the entrepreneur behind Analemma Water, and he's spent seventeen years funding the research that backs every claim he makes here.
I came into this conversation as someone who has tried everything around water: filtration, fasting, reverse osmosis, remineralization, three liters a day, the whole neurotic arc, etc. What Mario describes pulled me out of that loop. The science is rigorous, but the implication is what got me. Ninety-nine percent of the molecules in your body are water. Change the state of that water, and your entire biology follows.
We also get into the part most water podcasts avoid: what happens to the information of a toxin after you filter it out, why 5G radiation damages water at close range, and how his wife saw the design of Analemma in a vision before he ever met the inventor.
You’ll learn:

168: How the Masculine-Feminine Polarity Fixes Any Relationship | Alexandra Roxo & Eli Buren
Eli and Alexandra say most women's nervous systems will reject a deep, present man on sight.
Most of what gets sold as polarity work falls apart the second you bring it home, into a marriage, into parenting, or into a Tuesday night with bills to pay.
Eli Buren and Alexandra Roxo are two of the very few teachers in this space I trust to talk about masculine and feminine dynamics as something you live, not perform. Eli has been mentored by David Deida since 2004. Alexandra is the bestselling author of F*ck Like a Goddess and Dare to Feel.
I've known Eli for about a decade, and he was the one who first told me to be careful about forcing my relationship into the polished version of these teachings.
This conversation goes there. What immature masculine and immature feminine actually look like in a body. Why a deep, present man can feel disarming when your nervous system isn't trained to receive him. How rupture, repair, and trauma show up inside a real partnership with a child in the next room
There are red flags they want you to watch for in polarity teachers. We name them.
