An update on the kitties at 1890 homestead

An update on the kitties. The kitties at 1890 homestead. Oh, my gosh. Why is it an animal can send your life into chaos just by being so darn cute? How is that possible? it continues to happen at 1890 Homestead because, these little kittens are living in a tub. But the mama is. I don’t know, she’s waking up in the middle of the night, and she’s picking up these kitties and she’s transporting them to the back of closets. She is putting them in my daughter’s bed. She is hiding them under the bed. I mean, can we just stay in the tub? Is it possible that we could just keep them in the tub? That’s become my main purpose this week, is trying to keep these kitties in the tub so nobody steps on them so we don’t lose them. I mean, it’s a stress, but you know me, I’m loving it. I’m absolutely loving these little kitties. And, they’re bringing so much joy into my life, so I wouldn’t have it any other way. But it is. It is a little stressful when you wake up in the morning and you think, where are the kitties? Are the kitties okay? Did everybody make it through the night? Oh, my. My gosh.

Meredith Miller is a holistic coach, author and speaker

I have a fantastic show for you today in the first hour and a half or so. We have been so great, lucky, and I’m so grateful that we get to talk to Meredith Miller, my friend. she is a fantastic voice. Ah, for freedom. She has been a voice of reason for me. I’m not even sure she knows how much she’s impacted my life. I found her during 2020, maybe shortly after 2020, actually. It was her testimony that she gave through rhyme or fulmitch is when I became, ah, connected to her work. I just knew when I heard her speak that I needed to know exactly what she was doing and how she was helping people, because she just had such a way of explaining what was going on with the gaslighting, with, the whole Covid narrative. She was calm, she was collected, and I gravitated towards her immediately. you can check out our podcast together because I think we’ve done two unnaturally inspired podcasts. So I definitely want to make sure you head back there after today and, check those out. It’ll kind of fill in some of the stuff that she’s been working on through the years. Meredith Miller is a holistic coach, author and speaker. Her mission is bridging the gap between trauma and purpose. She’s trained in many holistic healing and coaching modalities. She continually invests in her professional development through courses, seminars, coaching and other trainings. actually, when I was looking through her resume, she has over 57 certifications and training to her credit. I mean, her resume is insane. She’s got theta healing trainings, principles of collective trauma healing, emotional balancing certifications, acupressure certifications. I mean, they go on and on. And the sign of a really dedicated practitioner, everyone should know this is how dedicated they are to their continuing education. And Meredith is extremely dedicated to her ongoing, growth in her professional capacity. she’s committed to her own personal evolution as well, which is, what do I always say? You know, results matter. Results matter. And we have to kind of get back to that, right, to understanding that our results matter. And if someone’s advising you but not walking their talk, that’s a red flag. And, that’s not the case with Meredith. I want to read you a little bit from her perspective, of the 2020 era. These are her words. We are in the middle of a historic evolutionary process in humanity on planet earth at this time, due to the disruptions in normality, many people, many more people have been awakening during the recent years. The macro dynamics of awakening and evolution are quite similar to the micro level. Encounters and entanglements with the dark forces serve a higher purpose and carry a learning far more nuanced than simply a battle between good versus evil. It’s a calling back to true self, divine purpose, and the creator of all that is so profound. and her insights today I know you’re going to benefit from greatly.

Please welcome Meredith Miller to the naturally inspired radio show

Please welcome Meredith Miller to the naturally inspired radio show. Hi, meredith.

>> Meredith Miller: Hi. Thank you so much for inviting me.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: I’m so excited for our conversation today. I know so many people feel, you know, the transition that you talk a lot about that’s been going on, that, maybe they feel a little lost, especially isolated when they haven’t been able to connect to their community. and people are still struggling even four and a half years later. In the beginning, it was a shock to everything, you know, like what I mean, I naive was naive and thought, man, if I just spread some truth and I tell people what I think is happening and I share the information and the data, that I’d be able to convince them of my point of view and that they would be able to respect my point of view. but that really didn’t happen. And still, four and a half years later, I think so many people feel lost. And so that’s why I’m so excited to have this conversation with you today, because I know, so many people are going to benefit from it, and, we are in need of resources, and that’s what you bring.

Meredith Miller: An existential crisis causes a sudden collapse of worldview

So let’s start, with the first question I want to ask today. we’re going to talk about existential crisis that we’re in to. And first off, I want. Could you define existential crisis? What is it? Yeah.

>> Meredith Miller: So, essentially, an existential crisis causes a sudden collapse, or what they also call existential shattering of a person’s worldview and sense of self. So that pushes us to the edge of human experience. So there will be, like, shocking or unexpected and traumatic experience, experiences that happen that cause us to question life’s meaning and purpose. And they often mark a transition from one reality into another. So, like, when we look at the picture of what’s been happening since 2020, our entire relationship with existence has been shattered. And these ongoing existential crises are essentially an evolutionary calling for humanity. That transition from, you know, one world into another. I think there are two paths that are opening for us. So we can see one of those paths is that whole new normal world of the powers that shouldn’t be.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Right.

>> Meredith Miller: They want us to go down this new world that they’ve created for us, and they very openly admit that Covid was that transition period. But there’s a whole other path of possibility for us, and that’s the evolution of humanity and the creation of a new environment, better world. So really, the existential crisis is the cosmic invitation for individuals and society.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: I see that. I mean, but there’s a blockage for a lot of people, I think, myself included, to that second path. I feel like fear interferes with us truly embracing that second path. Do you see that in your experience? And why is that? Why can’t we kind of let go go of that fear during this change?

>> Meredith Miller: Yeah, the fear was actually like, when we look back at everything that happened since 2020, you know, who had the power? What had the power to shut down the entire world? It wasn’t the government, all these organizations. It was the fear.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah. And our acting, our actions and our reacting to it. We’re going to take a quick break. You don’t want to miss this conversation.

Meredith: How do we get rid of fear so we can embrace intimacy

okay, meredith, let’s get back to this fear topic. I feel like, what you’re saying is if we reframe how we are perceiving these two paths, so to speak, that you mentioned, and we kind of perceive, it in a different way, instead of resisting the new normal, which is where I found myself in the beginning, like, ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Scary. Very. Put on the brakes. how can we embrace this second path that you just described? You know, this kind of evolutionary higher, higher elevated, purpose, and way of living? How do we get rid of the fear so we can embrace that, right?

>> Meredith Miller: So it can go either way. And we’re seeing so many people already giving up.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Right?

>> Meredith Miller: They’re just exhausted. They’re fatigued from all that fear. It’s completely shut down their nervous system. And so the thing is, there’s biological fear, which is a natural survival mechanism built into the nervous system. It’s a good thing. When fear alerts us of a threat in the environment, the defense system automatically gets activated so we can fight or flee from the danger. However, fear can become a formidable weapon when it’s used to manipulate a person’s perception and drive their behavior. And that’s exactly what’s been happening at an intense degree since 2020. That weaponized prolonged fear bombardment campaign corrupts the human operating system. This happens in abusive relationships just like it happened in society. And the big struggle right now is that because fear and isolation were the main tools weaponized against us. This is not only holding us back on a personal level because of all the trauma that that’s happened individually, but it’s also making it very difficult for us to connect with one another in healthy and secure ways. So social connection is a biological imperative in mammals, including humans, right? And we really need our social support. But unfortunately, when the defense system is engaged, when our nervous system senses a danger or a threat in the environment or in another person, when that defense system is engaged, our attachment system is offline. So we can’t really bond and deeply connect. And that defense system is the stress response of fight, flight, freeze, and fawn. So, you know, let’s say we’re meeting out in public, and if I’m in a state of anxiety or fear, my nervous system, even if I’m like, hey, how are you? My nervous system is going to trigger your nervous system on the defense, because you’re nervous system detects cues of danger in my anxiety and fear, even though I’m completely oblivious to it. And so what happens is that defensiveness becomes contagious. And so this is our huge challenge right now, is to get past us, to, first of all, recognize our defensive behaviors, which, first of all, we have to validate them, right? Because when they happen, and usually this starts in childhood, we’ve all had different childhood traumas, and so we adapted in a way to survive. So whichever way our defense system figured out how to survive, we need to validate that. That was the intelligent response at the time. Thank God, that helped you survive. But then we also have to acknowledge. So it’s not, or it’s. And there’s a nuance here. And we also have to acknowledge how that becomes maladaptive. How is that getting in the way now of me getting past the limits, you know, that are holding me back in my life or me connecting with other people in a deep and secure sort of way. So we really have to develop that self awareness first, and then it makes it easier to connect with other people, because otherwise we just keep triggering one another. And that’s really the crux of trauma, is that a person gets stuck in that and they don’t understand what’s happening. And that fear is frozen in the body and the nervous system in the subconscious, and it’s causing that defensive reaction, which then interrupts our social connections. Like we need one another to heal from this.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yes, and I totally understand. It’s the frequency, would you call it a frequency that we’re admitting when we’re stuck in fight or flight. Like, I am fairly sensitive to that type of interaction. You know, I can kind of. People call it vibes or whatever. Right. But you’re actually picking up on it in a biological way. And I love that you just said that about it being contained, contagious, because it is. You can walk into a room, and you just kind of pick up on the vibe, and you’re just like, okay, why? What’s going on here? Like, this doesn’t feel good. Right?

>> Meredith Miller: Yeah. So you may be more conscious of that than a lot of people. Most people aren’t conscious of it, but it’s happening at a subconscious level. And the nervous systems, like, when we are together, even online, to some degree, but particularly in person and in proximity, our nervous systems are communicating with one another. That is a frequency, exactly like you said. Everything is frequency. It’s happening at an electromagnetic level. Right? That is the currency of the neurological system. It’s an electromagnetic frequency. It’s actually, I think, the bridge between the body, mind, and spirit. And so when we’re in front of one another, our nervous systems are communicating. Do I feel safe? Do I not feel safe? And we may not be consciously aware why we don’t feel safe. And it may not be that that’s a bad person. It may not be that there’s an actual threat, but maybe because that person is in a state of fear or anxiety. That triggers our nervous system response.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: That makes so much sense to me.

I feel like America as a whole is having an identity crisis

Okay, so, existential crisis. I have this question to ask. I have said several times in the last month, especially, that I feel like America as a whole. and I know it’s hard to generalize us as a collective, but I feel like we’re having an identity crisis. We’re in conflict with what we say we are and our actions. And so, we say, like, for example, like, we’ll say we’re the land of the free. Yet we allowed enslavement through regulatory capture. Just, you know, we allow that whether it’s the financial system, you know, where it’s kind of like, you’re extorted into doing certain things through, you know, scores or what have you, or, you know, the compliance to bodily intervention that you don’t want. So it’s not really free. And then we say we’re the peacemakers, that, we’re always the good guys going in to help overseas, and yet we’re involved in all these wars. We have this identity crisis. What happens on the existential level when we are declaring we’re this person, but we don’t act in that way. And how does that affect people on an individual level?

>> Meredith Miller: So, ah, exactly what you’re noticing and what you’re describing on the collective level is also happening inside individuals. That’s why we’re seeing it on the collective level, because the collective is just the sum of us individuals. And so the crises create these inner identity crisis where we get stuck in these self sabotage things. We have these conflicting beliefs and perceptions or perspectives of self in the world. And so, like, if there’s something that you want or believe in, but you’re acting out of integrity with that, what’s causing that? Right. It’s probably some kind of dual belief. So what happens is the trauma will cause, like, these belief programs that get integrated in the subconscious, and we don’t even realize it. You know, for example, a very common one, perhaps more common among women than men, is it’s dangerous to speak the truth. Right? So many of us learn this in childhood through trauma or just through life events. And so then when this crazy thing starts happening in the world, we really want to talk about it, but there’s this whole thing in our subconscious that wants to stop us because it’s trying to help us survive. And the subconscious thing speaking the truth is punishment, ostracization, death. So this is how our belief systems cause that self sabotage that can happen in so many different ways and all the ways that you’re mentioning. And so, really, it is a reflection of the individual’s identity crisis that came about through the existential crisis.

Talk to me about bridging the gap between trauma and purpose

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Talk to me about bridging the gap between trauma and purpose. What does that mean? I mean, I know you help people work through that. I’d like for my audience to understand how important this is. I always try to relate to people. Sometimes our biggest pains become our biggest purpose. And so can you talk a little bit about bridging that gap between trauma and purpose?

>> Meredith Miller: Yeah. So, I think that our life experiences, our traumas that happen, are actually, like, our immersion training for our life purpose. It’s kind of like, you got thrown into this school, like, you didn’t sign up for it, and you’re like, why is this happening? Or maybe at some level, our soul did sign up for that. Not because, like, you deserved it kind of thing, but because, like, maybe that was the experience we needed for our soul to grow and evolve and develop the empathy and compassion that we could then employ in our sense of purpose in order to contribute something to the world. Right? Maybe that was part of the soul mission so I think that, you know, a person is trying to discover what their purpose is and if they feel purposeless, you know, maybe that was a crisis that came up in the last several years. Look at your traumas. You know, work on healing your traumas, because the more you heal your trauma, the bigger you dig. The deeper you dig into that, the more of your purpose you’re going to discover as you start transmuting those traumas.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Because I think you say everything that has happened and is happening is actually happening for us, not to us. Is that correct?

>> Meredith Miller: Exactly. So that’s the difference between, like, the victim consciousness of powerlessness and helplessness versus the empowerment consciousness through recognizing I have a choice, and my choice is my power. I can choose my perspective and I can choose my actions. Right? So when each of us individually looks at, like, the legacy that we inherited from our family, our ancestral line, we inherited a mix of trauma and resilience, right? And so when we look at that legacy that we inherited, and a lot of it is trauma, maybe that’s even more. More apparent to some people. And then we also look at, like, our most challenging life experiences and traumas. Actually, this all prepared us for the opportunity to evolve and step into a higher purpose.

Can you just touch on generational trauma? I’m not sure everybody takes that into account

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Can you just touch on generational trauma? I’m not sure everybody, you know, takes that into account when they’re. When they’re dealing with their own stuff, you know? And I think it’s important that people understand that aspect. It’s not all your fault. It’s a. It’s. It’s been a journey. Can you touch on that a bit for people? Right.

>> Meredith Miller: And so this is actually so relevant to. To our choices that we’re making now, because the choices we make to either heal the trauma of what’s happening now is going to determine what legacy we pass forward to the future generations. So everything that our ancestors did not heal and resolve, everybody has been through trauma. We have ancestors who have been through, you know, abuse, they’ve been through war, famine, economic crisis, natural disasters, genocide. So many things, right? And so everything that they didn’t really, because they had to just keep going on, surviving, all that stuff gets stuffed down. And then when we were born, the way I see it in sort of my. My mind’s eye is that when the two cells come together, one from a mother and one from father, the moment they merge into one cell, it’s like there’s this download of energy, consciousness, frequency of both of those lines. It’s like. It’s almost like a computer download. Right. Of like both of the lines, all of that gets downloaded into this cell, this new life form that then has all of those codes in their energy and consciousness. And so we inherit both, all those unresolved traumas from our family system, the stuff that they didn’t deal with or couldn’t deal with. But we also inherit their strength, their wisdom. That’s the resilience that they pass forward because we’re alive, because our ancestors survived, right? They were. They were the survivors, which is a miraculous, amazing thing. But also, unfortunately, a lot of that burden got passed down, and not necessarily because they were even aware of it. And that’s the sad thing. And it’s what’s replaying. It replays over and over and over again. You know, the whole history repeats itself. It’s really just a collective manifestation of all of the ancestral traumas that got passed down and all of one’s individual trauma, that one doesn’t heal that then they pass on to the next generation. So really, with what’s happening in the world now, I see it as a massive calling for us to heal the trauma, to face it, to heal it, so that we can pass forward a legacy of greater resilience and not the trauma. Because if not, this is going to have a devastating impact on future generations.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah. Do you think we’ve forgotten who we are? I love that you brought up that our ancestors have been through just extraordinary circumstances and survived drought, fire, all of it. Much harder circumstances in terms of living on the land and providing for themselves. It was much harder back then. And I feel like we’re so detached from that journey of survival back then that we forget who we are and who we’ve come from.

>> Meredith Miller: For sure. And I think what’s been happening in our technological world is our struggle with that. Now.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: we’re going to talk more about that after this short break. We’re talking with Meredith Miller, and this is naturally inspired radio. Stay tuned.

Meredith Miller from innerintegration. com talks about reframing

we’re back and we’re talking to Meredith Miller from innerintegration.com. that’s innerintegration.com dot. Meredith has a number of offerings on her website helping you restore wholeness to your soul is one of them. She does private one on one sessions, through holistic healing journeys and so much more. She has a number of different offerings that you can look through, but visit her website, innerintegration.com dot. We were just talking. Well, we’ve covered so much already, but I want to just kind of, go back to what we were talking at the beginning of the show. When we were talking about reframing, Meredith was saying, you know, there’s kind of two paths here. We don’t know which way it’s going to go. Obviously, you can go the full, like, great reset way, which is a nightmare to most of us. But also, you know, there’s this other path over here, too, where we may be pushed to realize and. And to, you know, entertain the possibility that we can maybe be able to evolve ourselves through this experience and become something better. It’s something that we can embrace. And, we have to remember who we are, that we are resilient, and that our ancestors have gone through a lot for us to get to this point. It’s almost like we’ve forgotten how resilient we are. And so we have to kind of remember that. That, you know, we’re not, we’re not weak and we’re not victims. And, I want to now transition kind of more into purpose because I think that, our greatest pains, as I said earlier, can become our purpose. And so we tend to think, that when traumas happen to us in our childhood, we tend to have shame around it. We tend to think that it’s something bad and, that nothing good could come of it because. So bad, and we kind of lock it away. And I always love Meredith’s approach because she’s the one that introduced me to integration. You never really get rid of your past experiences, but you learn how to integrate them into your life, and they become a powerful force for you. Don’t they, Meredith?

>> Meredith Miller: Yes.

First we have to start by talking about the trauma, right

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah.

>> Meredith Miller: So, first we have to start by talking about it. Right? And that’s. That’s the biggest problem. Usually in, let’s say, every family system, even in society, there’s this massive elephant in the room. For example, the 2020 stuff you’re talking about on your show. There’s other people talking about on their platforms. Some of us are gathering with our friends to talk about what happened, but on a societal level, publicly speaking, we’re not talking about it. And the worst part about the trauma is that you can’t talk about it. So if you were sexually abused in childhood, for example. And you try to talk about it in your family. Usually nobody wants to hear it, especially if it was someone from within the family. And so that shuts down. It blocks your self healing mechanism. So here we are in the world when we can’t talk about what’s happening, that’s blocking the self healing mechanism in individuals and family systems, in society. It’s blocking our relational repair, because we have to be able to verify reality with another. We call that mutual witnessing. We need to be able to witness the trauma together. And this doesn’t heal the trauma, but it’s the first step. Like talking itself doesn’t heal it. But if we don’t have an empathic witness, if we don’t have someone there who has existential empathy, meaning someone who can hold the empathy for our existential concerns, right? Like, how often do people just block that off? They don’t want to hear it. They’re, they just. It triggers them, upsetting to them. They don’t want to go there. If we don’t have that, we can’t even start healing because we absolutely have to be able to talk about it. We need to verify reality. And that’s the very beginning, because once we can really start talking about it and we can have that co regulation with another person of our species, then we can really give ourselves permission to feel it, to digest it, to process it, and then integrate the learning. And that’s the whole process. And in doing so, we’re creating more space because all of that old trauma, it’s like frozen in our nervous systems and our body and consciousness, that keeps us frozen in time, essentially. And then we keep having these defensive reactions to people in life. We think we’re reacting to the present, but actually we’re still reacting to the past for the most part. And that creates all these distorted belief programs that sabotage our dreams and limit our potential. We get stuck in the repetition compulsion on an individual level. And then in society, history keeps repeating itself so we can integrate more of that trauma. What happens is we create more space, and that space allows new consciousness to enter. So we’re sitting here looking at the world thinking, oh my God, what are we going to do? How are we going to make a better world? First, we have to digest this stuff and process it so we can create that space to allow new ideas, new insights, new responses, intuition, solutions to come out. It’s the same on the individual level, right? It’s okay if we don’t have the answers or solutions yet. But first we have to create that space so that we can actually do that and see new opportunities. And then we start onboarding more of the gifts of the strength and the wisdom which were hidden underneath the trauma, which then becomes the resilience that illuminates our own life and our sense of purpose. And it’s a also then the resilience that we pass on to the next generation.

Is it true that we can get stuck in the emotional age of trauma

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Is it true that we can get stuck in the emotional age of when a major trauma occurred and we find it hard to kind of get past that until we do get the tools we need to integrate it? Is that true?

>> Meredith Miller: Totally. And you can see that we can all see it in our behavior, for example, about our reactions to people in life. Sometimes if we’re really honest with ourselves and we can just hit the pause button for a second, because what happens is it’s an automatic reaction. So if we can come back to the breath and create a space with the breath and just allow ourselves to gain a witness perspective of our own behavior. Why am I reacting in this way? You know, how old am I right now?

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Wow.

>> Meredith Miller: I feel like an eight year old right now, you know, or I feel like toddler right now, or I don’t even have the words. This is like a pre verbal trauma that happened when I was really itty bitty.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Right.

>> Meredith Miller: And I didn’t even have the words to explain what was wrong. People might notice that when they feel so shut down, they can’t even explain what’s going on. So that is exactly what happens. And it’s not like there was just one trauma. Unfortunately, it’s usually many traumas, many different ages. So there can be a. The adolescent self that comes up, which is usually more rebellious or self destructive, the adolescent trigger. Often, you know, the person starts self distrusting, and deep down the belief system is, I’m going to destroy myself before someone else destroys me. Right. And then there’s the inner child that’s much younger, which is where much more vulnerability exists. Because the child was so young, they didn’t have those defenses.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Gosh, it makes so much sense. I want to share just a little bit about what I experienced because I hope that it will help my audience connect and understand how it may be impacting their life. So I did a. I had some stuff come up during, you know, after cope, after the throes of COVID you know, like, not that we’re still dealing with stuff, obviously, but, you know, like, six months back, eight months back. It’s kind of like the throes of it are over and I’m like, okay, you know, we’re settling into this new area now. And I found like, I was having stuff come up again and I thought, man, I’ve dealt with my childhood. Like, I, you know, I’ve dealt with that stuff. I was raised in a home where my dad was an alcoholic and he was pretty explosive and I was a pretty sensitive kid. And so it used to send me into, you know, trying to connect just exactly what Meredith just said. Like, I would try to connect with other family members and get them to kind of recognize it, you know, like, hey, this is crazy behavior. But nobody would, nobody would, right? I was like the crazy one. And nobody would say, yeah, you’re right, like, this is crazy behavior. And I was just a little kid and so I was constantly kind of being made to felt like nothing bad was going on because we’re just going to sweep this under the rug. And so this is what happened when Covid came up, I was doing the same thing. I’m like, hey, everybody, this is crazy. Like, this isn’t right. And the collective wasn’t responding. So I had to then reach out to Meredith and say, I think I need to do a one on one session. And so that’s why I want to share that with you so that you can kind of take a look at where you’re at. We’re going to take a quick break. We’ll be back with Meredith Miller. Stay tuned.

But I regret not asking for help with these things a lot earlier in my life. Asking for help and reaching out for help. This is a huge life lesson I’ve learned is not a sign of weakness. Good lord. It’s a sign of strength. And I certainly wish I knew that earlier, because I thought I had to power through everything myself. I thought, you know, I could do it myself. I didn’t need any help. Asking for help was weak. That’s kind of the narrative I had in my mind. And it wasn’t until I realized quite the opposite, that things changed. And I had a different perspective on the way I was conducting myself in my life. So I would encourage you, if this is resonating with you, head over to innerintegration.com and check out meredith’s, offerings. Because, honestly, there’s nobody else I would work with in this capacity. She’s just so trustworthy, so patient, and so qualified. You don’t want to miss out on this opportunity.

There are certain people who tend to think they don’t have any trauma

All right, let’s get back into that conversation, because I think the audience, you know, when you realize that you’re looking at this stuff, from your past, there’s a certain demographic of people who tend to think, I don’t have any trauma. Is that true, Meredith?

>> Meredith Miller: No, unfortunately, it’s not true. That’s usually some kind of denial, avoidance, bypassing or masking and posturing. So you’ll hear that. So sometimes what happens is maybe people will grow up in a family system where one of the beliefs is like, you know, we’re really strong, and so we pride ourselves on being strong. And so you do not have vulnerabilities. You are not allowed to show vulnerability. That’s a sign of weakness. And therefore, you know, we’re just strong. And so you would get shamed if you ever had any pain or you were sad or upset. And unfortunately, what that does is it sets up the kid for a lifetime of that defense mechanism, of posturing and masking and avoiding the trauma, and it just gets stuffed down. So they might think nothing’s wrong with them because they were taught you’re tough. Nothing’s wrong with you. You know, you got hurt, and your parents were like, you’re fine.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Get over it.

>> Meredith Miller: A lot of it.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah. On a scale of one to ten.

We are living in a convergence point of so many different crises and traumas

Okay, in your professional capacity, on a scale of one to ten, where would you rate the entire Covid fiasco, in terms of trauma? Is it. Can you even do that?

>> Meredith Miller: I mean, on the field, one to ten? I mean, I would say, like, we’re way up on an eight there, and I’m just guessing, right? Where would I put that? But I think the interesting thing, we talked earlier about how in the past, our ancestors went through all these different kinds of traumas, and usually what happened is those were experienced at different points in their life. And, like, our grandparents generation, for example, they went through a lot. You know, there was World War one, there was the depression, there was world War two. And these were staggered. They were spread out. What’s really interesting about our generation and those of us who are alive now is that we are living in a convergence point of so many different crises and traumas. And so, like, we’ve seen the COVID thing happen, but now there’s, like, all these other things happening in the background that seem to be converging in, like, one big. What they call a meta crisis or poly crisis. And so what we’re confronting is actually so much bigger because it’s like all of that at once is coming to head. You know, we talk about the energy system, the food supply, the economy, the wars, whatever they’re trying to do, again, with more pandemics, right? Like, it’s all, you know, what’s happening. They call climate change. Okay? A lot of that’s, like, weather manipulation, but a lot. It’s also this magnetic pulse shift that’s happening. So there’s a lot of things happening right now in this time. In fact, there’s a writer named Michael Tessarion. He’s really amazing. And he talks about ancestral trauma, in particular, the ancient ancestral trauma that we’re all carrying of the last time, you know, 6000 years ago, whenever that was, the last time, there was that magnetic pulse shift, that catastrophe that happened on our planet, and some of our species survive. And then all of us have that in our consciousness and body. And now we’re living in this time where they’re guessing it’s going to be in the 2040s, wherever that happens, because we’re well on the way now. We can see that in how much the earth’s magnetic field is dissipating. So we’re really living in a convergence point of so many different crises, which I think is why it’s so important that we respond to the evolutionary pressure by healing our traumas. And I think that’s actually the biggest gift that the COVID thing happened. And then we kind of got a little reprieve. Even though it’s not like everything is normal, right? It’s not like everything is okay, but it’s sort of like this perceived normality right now. It’s giving us an opportunity to catch our breath and to, like, notice, like, okay, everything that happened since 2020. How did that trigger up to the surface your unresolved trauma from your childhood and the rest of your life? Because it. The way everything that happened in the world, the way we responded to that on an individual level is the same way or very similar to the way that we learn to survive to our traumas in early life. And so the gift is that it’s bringing that up to the surface. It’s forcing that stuff to emerge, which is very unpleasant, but it’s actually a gift because we can clear more of that so that we can have more capacity and resources to continue to respond to ongoing things that will happen.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: What do you mean by clear that? Can we clarify the integration? How do we know if we’ve integrated or cleared trauma?

>> Meredith Miller: It’s our reaction to life. And so the trauma is visible in the body and in the behavior. So when the body develops chronic illness and things like this. Yeah, sometimes it’s toxins in the environment, but a lot of times it’s all of this emotional residue from the trauma that we haven’t processed and other forms of energetic, emotional toxins that are happening in our environment, always physical toxins. So that’s very real, too. And so how do we clear that is that process? I was saying where we first have to talk about it, we have to be able to notice it, we have to talk about it. Then we start to allow ourselves to feel it, to digest it, to process it, and then look back and say, okay, what did I learn from that? Because that’s really how you clear the pain and the emotional residue of the trauma. It’s not like it made it go away and it didn’t happen. You know, your nervous system is still going to get dysregulated sometimes, but not nearly like it was in the past when all of that programming was still intact. But we can look back and we can say, okay, that was really shitty, what happened, and it wasn’t my fault. It’s not a blame, but what did I learn from that? Like, what did that teach me? And we can look at that from different layers. So, like, in theta healing, we look at it from the ego layer, which is like, for example. We can talk about that in a minute.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yes. Let’s take a break. And when we. I’m so. I’m riveted, really. I’m really stuck in this conversation. We’re going to take a quick break, and when we come back, we’ll be back with Meredith miller. Stay tuned.

Meredith says when we’ve integrated trauma, we start to extract learning

Meredith, you were just kind of taking us through how we know when we’ve integrated our traumas. And you were just kind of getting to the, to the point. you know, you mentioned the nervous system being able to calm down. Please continue. Right.

>> Meredith Miller: So I was talking about what did we learn from the trauma? Because that’s when we really integrate with. After we’ve digested, we’ve processed, you know, and all that, we start to extract the learning. And so we can look at this from different layers, because there’s different layers of our being. There’s the ego layer, which is the part that’s concerned with self preservation. It’s, also our identity. It’s trying to survive, and it wants to say save. And so what we learn at an ego level often has to do with boundaries, right? Because the ego is also related to boundaries. So if we go through abuse, manipulation, we learn how to set new boundaries. Like, that’s something beneficial that we learn from what happened. We also start to change the way that we look at ourselves. Right? There’s different aspects, what we can learn in an ego level, but then there’s like the soul level, or what you might call the higher self, which is where we’re learning much more. You know, say things about kindness. We’re learning virtues at this level. These are like higher consciousness lessons that we learn. So let’s say you went through abuse in childhood. What did that teach you? Maybe it taught you tremendous empathy and compassion for other people. Maybe it gave you the ability to sit with other people in their pain and have that existential empathy that few people can give because they’re so burdened with their own traumas. That they haven’t healed it yet, so there’s different layers that we can look at. What did I learn from this? And it’s really important that we look at that, because until we’ve really identified what we’ve learned from the things that have happened to us, we’re going to keep repeating it.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Oh, that’s fascinating. That’s fascinating.

Would you say the final step is teaching? I always feel like once you’ve learned it

Would you say the final step is teaching? I always feel like once you’ve learned it, there’s an innate kind of push to try to. Or to share it with someone else to teach it. Is that the final step, or is that not necessary?

>> Meredith Miller: I mean, maybe I would use the word contribution. So maybe you could call it teaching.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Right.

>> Meredith Miller: But maybe it’s not like a. Like, maybe people are thinking, like, formalized teaching kind of situation, but it could. It could just be like your contribution, like what you bring to whatever it is that you’re doing in any aspect of your life, but it’s something that you’re contributing to other people, whether it’s in your family, in your community, or in the world, in society.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah. It’s so powerful. And I guess that’s a perfect word for it, contribution. Because modeling is always, I think, the most effective form of, teaching, really, you know, because you don’t have to use your words necessarily. You’re just. The way you’re showing up in the world is the greatest example of, what you’ve learned in the world, isn’t it?

>> Meredith Miller: Right. And because we have those mirror neurons, when we see somebody doing something, that’s what we start to model. But unfortunately, most of us, or a lot of us, didn’t have healthy role models growing up. And so what we were modeled were like, very dysfunctional habits. Right. And so then we learn that. And that can also work for a beneficial, positive way, just like you’re talking about.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah, I think we have to. When we’ve been through traumas in which everybody has. Everybody. If you’ve been living, listen up. If you’ve been living, you have trauma. Okay? So, And it’s. Okay. And our traumas shouldn’t be, It’s not a trauma competition, is it, Meredith?

>> Meredith Miller: Right. There’s no trophy.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: That’s right. That’s right. And I think we see that a little bit in today’s world with the victim mentality. It’s like a comparative thing. It’s all relative to your experiences. We are going to go into the second hour, and Meredith is going to join us for the next half hour segment. And then we will have Gabe with good brew joining us.

I would encourage everyone to do some inner self reflection ahead of time

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: We’re back. You’re listening to naturally inspired radio. We’re headed into the second hour here with meredith Miller from innerintegration.com. and I was just thinking during the break, it’s like we don’t really know what’s holding us back. We don’t know what we don’t know. And I would encourage everyone to do some inner self reflection, especially given everything that we have been through and what we’re about to face. I mean, Meredith hit the nail on the head here. I don’t think we’ve ever been at a time where so many things are happening in such a condensed period of time. I mean, the news cycle is insane. And then, you know, it’s bird flu coming off the tails of COVID coming off of train, derailments coming off of all these different things. we shouldn’t underestimate the impact that’s having on us. You don’t need to power through. You don’t need to just power through. You’re not giving yourself the opportunity to thrive when you are just powering through. So think about that.

Meredith McKenna talks about holistic resilience in 20 twenty’s resilience workbook

I wanted to talk a little bit about, before we head into. I want to talk about the 20 twenty’s resilience workbook, Meredith. I want to know more about that. But first, I wanted to just bring up one thing I took away from one of our podcasts. It might have been the first one that helped me so much was you said that this concept of the fact that people, you know, who are on the front end of things, you know, when we’re kind of the ones that are warning because we see the signals and we’re the truth tellers, so to speak. And so we’re like, hey, what about this? What about this? And then we’re getting gaslit through that and people are saying, oh, that’s not happening. That’s not happening. You said, during one of our podcasts, don’t compare the end of something to the beginning of something. And that was so profound for me to be able to articulate it that way to other people, it really helped me. Can you just talk a little bit about that and why that’s so important?

>> Meredith Miller: Yeah, I think we were talking about World War two, and we were saying that, like, when we look back and what we learn in history class is about the concentration camps and where it ended. Right? Like, wherever I it went, how far it went. But what we don’t talk about, what we didn’t learn in history class, was where it started, you know? And, well, it depends where you want to start that. But, like, if you look at the early 1930s, what you see is a very similar pattern. There was a vaccination that a group of people didn’t want to take. And then before long, there’s a gesundheit pass, there’s a health pass, and you have to start showing your papers to show whether or not you’ve been vaccinated. And in this group of people who did want to take the vaccine starts being ostracized from public places and not able to go there. Right. It’s like, how did people not realize that the same thing was happening all over again? Because we didn’t talk about that. I didn’t learn that in history class. Did you?

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: No. And that was exactly it. That was so. That was just so profound for me. That was. It helped me articulate to other people, listen, we cannot compare the end of something to the beginning of something. Like, this is why we need to talk about these things. Because if we don’t talk about them, they’re just bound to repeat themselves and.

>> Meredith Miller: Escalate, because every abusive relationship escalates, and it has to do so in order to keep gradually rising the tolerance for abuse in the target. And so that will happen in an interpersonal relationship, just like we’re seeing it happen in the world. It’s like there’s that cycle of chaos and calm. Chaos and calm. Chaos and calm. And it keeps. But it’s not like, a circle. It’s more like a spiral, like octaves. Because every time it repeats, it’s more intense and it’s escalating.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah. What do you mean when you talk about regenerating? Holistic. Holistic resilience. let’s get into that a little bit.

>> Meredith Miller: Yeah. So holistically resilience in all levels of human life. So that could be on the physical, mental, emotional, financial, social, spiritual, and so cultivating resilience on these layers, so that we can strengthen our human spirit during these challenging times on planet Earth. So, you know, also, I see it as like, as we strengthen our resilience, we’re actually creating a new dialogue between the past, present, and future. And when we include our ancestral resilience in that, we’re also connecting with the innate strengths that we inherited through our lineage. And so then we develop more of these gifts and learning that we can share with other people. And I think that holistic resilience is actually one of the most important life skills and character qualities that we can develop, perhaps now more than ever, as we are faced with increasingly more complex and layered crises in the world. I just heard Terrence McKenna said back in, like, the 1990s, that as we reach this point of what he called novelty, which is like increasing complexity, and we’re reaching what he called the end of time, he said it’s not going to be calm and orderly. It’s going to look like a fire in a madhouse. that’s what we’re seeing in our world. And so it’s like getting crazier and crazier and crazier, and that’s going to keep happening. It’s still happening, these cycles, right, where it’s like increasing intensity, layers of chaos and calm, but it’s going to keep increasing. And so it’s so important to learn how to adapt and bounce back from tragedy, trauma, significant stress, loss and adversity so we can continue to cultivate greater energy, presence, embodiment, and fluidity so that we can keep moving forward instead of continually repeating the past. So resilience, it’s really a process.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah.

The 20 twenty’s resilience workbook is a self guided journey

Tell me about the 20 twenty’s resilience workbook and why you created it.

>> Meredith Miller: So, this is for people who want to take a deeper dive to do more self. Self discovery, self exploration. It’s a self guided little journey for people to build holistic and ancestral resilience. So it will help you to digest and process more of what happened since 2020. It’s very much geared toward exactly what happened in the world, how it hasn’t been discussed. It’s going to help people to explore different, aspects of their life that have been affected since then and reflect. So there’s journaling, there’s other exercises and things to help people onboard, more inner resources so they can keep flowing through the ongoing and disruptive era of transformation in the 2020s.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: So is this something that we can work through on our own pace? Is it a series of videos involved in it? Tell us more.

>> Meredith Miller: Yeah, it’s just a workbook. So it has exercises, a lot of journaling it’s got a little bit of, informational pages as well, but really helping you to unpack what happened to reflect more. The journaling is so key for that. Noticing. How has your life changed since 2020? What were some of the best decisions you made? What were some, unhealthy coping mechanisms that you developed since 2020? Like, for example, a lot of people started drinking more or eating more.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Right?

>> Meredith Miller: Like, what are the unhealthy coping mechanisms you developed? But also, like, what are the healthy habits that you developed because of what was happening? So it really helps people explore a whole lot more about what happened and its information and exercises and something discovery that I don’t think you’ll find anywhere else.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: That’s fascinating.

Meredith Miller says childhood trauma has helped people develop resilience tactics

I want to know, like, I know you can’t tell us about your clients, you know, specifically, but just, you know, overall with your client base, have you noticed people that have developed stronger, you know, resilience tactics or is there anything that you could say? I think people got better at this.

>> Meredith Miller: What I’m seeing across the board is the people who come to me for sessions are at a point where they want to hear the. Their childhood trauma and the reason why they’re finally forced to face it is because of everything that’s happened in the last several years. And however it impacted them personally because everybody had unique experiences with that, even though we all experienced kind of similar things. But often what it did is it brought up to the surface what was going on in their family and their personal lives and their communities.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: I can speak to that for sure. We’re talking to Meredith Miller. We’re going to take a break, and when we come back, we’ll talk more inner integration. Stay tuned.

Meredith Miller talks about redefining community in today’s world

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: We’re back on naturally inspired radio, talking to Meredith Miller from innerintegration.com. visit her website to view all of her different offerings. She is an author as well, and I think you can find her book through her website as well. I want to talk a little bit about a community. I know we touched on social connection and how important that is and whatnot. I’m trying to work actively to kind of redefine community as we were kind of taken into the global marketplace when, with the explosion of Internet and technology and virtual reality and all of that stuff, I think we lost the, the definition of real community. it became kind of a watered down, you know, you could take it or leave it kind of thing. You know, it’s hugs and supportiveness and nice things. And what I’m trying to do is kind of get people to come back to a real, a real definition of community. Because, you know, back in the day, I think I said this yesterday, you know, if you didn’t have a plaque and you needed a plow for your planting season, and you relied on your neighbor to provide you that plow, because it was the only one in the area, you weren’t too keen to piss that neighbor off anytime soon because you needed him. You needed him. And there was strength in that relationship. we didn’t have to. There was, we had, you know, we had skin in the game with the community, I guess, is what I’m trying to say. And now we think of community as kind of a. I feel like it’s almost a marketing term at this point, and it can be perceived as something that you can give or take. And through hard times, historically, we have gotten through things, through community.

Social connection is a biological imperative for mammals and humans

And so can you talk a little bit about social connection and community and how it’s the antidote to fear and isolation tactics?

>> Meredith Miller: it’s so important. So the social connection in general is a biological imperative for mammals and humans. Because we’re mammals, we absolutely need each other. And unfortunately, exactly like you said, that idea of community has really been distorted. One, because it’s become like that whole marketing thing. But also, I think really it’s been the whole online thing that’s changed everything. The technological development where we become more isolated through the technology and our community, our idea of community being online and being that you’re mainly anonymous and so you can say horrible things to people, which is the exact opposite that you just described about respecting your neighbor and knowing that that’s an important relationship that you want to bring your best to. But what we talked about early on about how our defense mechanisms, are going to sabotage those social connections. So right now we’re at this state online dating. A couple years ago, during the peak fear of the pandemic, people were still more willing to meet up in person. Nowadays, very few people meet up. And then when they do meet up, there’s so much triggering of their defense mechanisms that it’s making connection really difficult. We’re seeing this all throughout society, and we’re hearing even Gen Z is talking about this, like, functional free state. It’s affecting everybody of all ages. But Gen Z is really talking about it online, where you’re basically in a state of dissociation. So maybe you’re just spending all day in bed, and you’re just, online, scrolling through, like, where’s the community there? And you can’t. You’re not able to function. You’re not able to really show up in life. So when we show up in our social environment in a functional free state, we can’t connect with one another. We can’t connect when we’re in a fight state. We can’t connect when we’re avoiding and running away. And we’re nothing really connecting when we’re in a fawning state, which is, like, people pleasing. So, like we talked about earlier, our defense mechanisms are getting triggered by one another’s trauma programming. And so that’s why it’s so important to do the individual work, so that we can come together as a collective and create, like, these little social containers that we can talk about what happened to digest and process together. Because there’s something really powerful that happens in that connection of the collective, where we can heal more of the collective trauma. But we can only do that if we’re able to show up in a way that’s responsible, because we’ve worked on enough of our trauma on our individual level, either seeking professional help or however that works out, so that we can come together as a community. To actually do that without just triggering one another more, causing more polarity, more divisiveness, and more disconnection. So we’re in this big double bind right now.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah. You know, the face to face interaction, I think, is totally underestimated in what you were saying with Gen Z and younger people, but also in millennials, you know, they don’t seem to have the same value on it as, say, older generations like Gen X does as well. They put more value on the digital relationships.

Laughter is the sound that heals the heart, according to Chinese medicine

But, earlier this week, one of our health topics was laughter. And, there is something to be said, you know, laughing with someone rather than, you know, just staring at a screen and laughing at a screen. You know, you can become amused by something you see there. But there’s this. I think laughter is a great demonstration, like, of that connection between people, that we’re really missing out on when we don’t get face to face.

>> Meredith Miller: What’s amazing is, in chinese medicine, the sound. Ha. Which is the sound of a laugh, is the heart. It’s the sound that heals the heart. So isn’t that amazing that sharing the laughter in community is actually healing of the heart? And it’s really unfortunate for the younger generations. Like, it’s not their fault, unfortunately, they came into that digital. They were born into that digital world. And now the youngest generation, generation Alpha, which they call digital natives, because they don’t know anything other than that digital world. Your four year old kid can figure out how to work your phone and your computer better than you can. You know, so it’s like they have this intuition, because they’re. They’re like they came in almost hardwired to that, because this has been in the collective consciousness and how it’s been adapting, and our nervous systems have been adapting to the digital world. So it’s not their fault that they. They were born at this time, that they were born into that world, but I think they don’t know how to get out. And that functional free state is partly to do with the social media and the social engineering that takes place online, but it also has a lot to do with the trauma that took place, that left people so shut down in that fear bombardment, in that state of freeze, that they don’t know how to get out. They just don’t have the awareness or the resources or the social connection to show them a different way.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: That’s a fascinating topic you’re bringing up there, with the fact that they’re born into this. This is native to them. This technology is all they know. And then I would add on top of that, the biological adaptations that are happening because of we now know things. They’re spraying particulates in the air. We’ve talked at length here about the Internet of bodies and connecting people, and we don’t even truly know everything that’s gone into. To these injections and how that is kind of intermingling with frequency.

Meredith: We need to be able to laugh about what happened recently

And there’s so much here. There’s so much here. But I would say, resist the temptation to stay away from people, because, I think it’s very easy to stay in and watch Netflix and not get outside. But I want to remind people how powerful it is to be in each other’s presence, especially. It doesn’t all have to be serious all the time, right? I mean, you can get together with people and talk about this stuff that’s happened over Covid, in particular, when you need that affirmation that Meredith was talking about, you know, to be able to bounce this off an empathetic person. Part of that could include laughter, can’t it, Meredith?

>> Meredith Miller: Yes. We need to be able to laugh about what happened, because some of it’s absolutely absurd.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: It really is. Some of the stuff I have seen recently, especially, I keep saying to Jason, I’m like, I feel like we’re living in an SNL skit at this point because I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but it seems like the news cycle has now it’s gotten away from health more so, and it’s transitioning full politics right now. And we keep seeing these videos of Biden just fumbling around and then Maxine Waters adjusting her wig on CNN. Oh, my gosh.

>> Meredith Miller: This is like living no more absurd theater than politics.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Exactly. It feels like we’re living an idiocracy. It really does at this point.

>> Meredith Miller: And it’s just like what Terrence McKenna said, it’s like a fire in a madhouse. And that’s where we’re at. Like, this whole escalation that we’re seeing now with, like, people are literally just realizing about Biden now. That tells you how strong that trance was. Like, how deep they were in all of the programming, that they’re literally just figuring that out.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah, yeah, yeah. It’s something that, you know, if you had the eyes to see it, you could see from the very beginning, and now it’s like, yeah. That whole trance, type of, thinking that people have been pulled into, it’s a cult. I see. I’ve said it since day one, and I’ll continue to say, to say it. It is a cult.

What would you say to someone considering working with you on resilience issues

It is, you know, go by these tenants, or else what would you say to someone who is considering working with you or just reaching out in general to get some support about this stuff? How would you encourage them moving forward to do it? And, you know, how can you just give them kind of some words of wisdom about what to expect through working, with you.

>> Meredith Miller: I would suggest that they start with my free classes. I have two masterclasses available on my homepage. One is on existential crisis, and the other one is on regenerating resilience. So this is totally free. They can get some, like, basic understanding, kind of what we talked about today, a little more in depth as well. And then if they want to move forward with that resilience workbook, that would be a next great step to go. If a person is really committed, really invested, really wants to dig in and do the work, then I would recommend they look at the inner child integration package that I have, I feel like that’s really where the collective consciousness is at right now in needing to heal from our childhood wound so that we can show up in a better way and so that we can keep moving through and processing the ongoing crises that are happening in our world.

Tammy: Meredith’s inner integration work has positive effects on many people

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: What kind of results have you seen with your clients? Do you have any testimonials where you’re just like, I mean, it’s got to be such rewarding work that you do. I know you’ve helped me. I’ve already relayed that testimonial. It’s helped me a ton to understand. The more we can understand ourselves, the more we can be open to understanding others, and that creates that bridge for being able to connect with others. So, can you share any generalized success stories that you’ve had?

>> Meredith Miller: Yeah, I’m just seeing people making massive shifts in their life lately, like, especially the last two months. The clients that have been coming in are so committed. The work that we’re doing together, they’re just making so many big leaps through these old, decades long patterns that they’ve had, because as we’re integrating more, we’re pulling these distorted belief systems that got programmed in their subconscious. I’m giving them new downloads of new feelings and new experiences to replace them, and they’re telling me, like, wow, this, like, pattern that I had my whole life. All of a sudden, I’m showing up really different in my life. And I think that’s really a testimony of doing the inner integration work that they’re doing with me, because they’re able to process, to digest the trauma, but also to extract the learning. So when we can remove those belief systems, give them new experiences, and then they can integrate the learning, that’s when everything starts happening at a quantum level.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: And that impacts their relationships. Right. I mean, I would say that they would see improvements in their personal relationships, in their work and their relationships.

>> Meredith Miller: Their work, yeah. Everything they’re doing, like, their whole life, especially even the way that they see themselves, like, their identity and how they show up on a daily basis, from simple things in the kitchen to more complex things that happen in the world. But it’s especially on those day to day habits where they’re noticing a massive shift in their programming and their response to life.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: I love that. Cause that’s what it’s like when you start on a new health, journey. And that’s what I always talk about here. It’s not about these isolated incidences. Like, I’m gonna take on this health protocol for twelve weeks. This is a journey. And as you move through it, the impacts of the work you’re doing, they compound. You can’t just get healthier. You can’t just get healthier, because when you start to get healthier, it affects everything. It has that ripple effect. And that’s what I see in your work, Meredith. I see your work having the ripple effect in other people’s lives where it improves every facet of their life. It’s not just about doing this work to heal trauma. It’s about getting healthy. It’s about that, making you want to treat yourself better.

>> Meredith Miller: Exactly. And you have to be willing to face it. And that’s the thing where not everybody is willing to face it yet. But if you are, the reward is so massive and it’s so worth it.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Absolutely. I want to tell everybody again, you need to head over to innerintegration.com. that’s Meredith’s website, innerintegration.com. and you can catch our two podcasts. I know after this conversation, I know those podcasts are going to get listened to. Head over to naturallyinspiredradio.com and connect to those past podcasts as well.

we’re back. You’re listening to naturally inspired radio. Man, that was a conversation, wasn’t it? I always get my mind blown when I talk to meredith. I’ll tell you, I can’t say enough good things about her. I hope you will check out her website and check out her program there. I can’t reiterate enough. You know, there’s no shame in resolving some of this stuff. I don’t care how old you are are. I really don’t. You know, if you’re in your seventies and, you know, you haven’t done this work, this inner integration of childhood traumas, of this trauma that we’ve been through with COVID if you haven’t dealt with this stuff and, you know, it’s holding you back. It’s holding you back you have to be able to, you know, look at these things and understand that, you know, you can learn from them and then integrate them and then they become a strength of yours. And so if, if you haven’t done the work or inquired, you know, done some inner reflection about maybe needing to resolve some of these issues, it’s keeping you from being your full true self. There’s just no other way to put it. And it’s never too late to connect to these solutions. They’re real solutions for health. And don’t underestimate the physical burden that these types of traumas have on us either. Because as I always say, the body keeps score. The body keeps score. That is for certain.

Good brew is a prebiotic um gut health drink or powder

we are going to transition into talking to Gabe with Goodbrew. I have so many questions for him. Of course good brew is a fairly new sponsor of naturally inspired radio providing you a prebiotic gut health drink or powder rather that you can put into any drink. You’ve probably heard the commercials by now and I know they’ve joined us on air once before and we had a great discussion but I wanted to dive in to the ingredients in good brew today because I think it’s something that you guys want to know more about. I’ve had some questions in it and so what not better than to bring Gabe on himself so we can get him to answer our questions. Gabe, how are you doing today?

>> Gabe Dough: I’m doing well, Tammy, thank you for the great introduction. I hope you had a wonderful 4 July and looking forward to answering some questions.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah, I hope you guys did too. we are just loving our good brew. We actually have to order some more. I’ve been talking about it on air because our son is Jason and my son is totally addicted to it and he’s coveting it. He’s coveting it. How dare he? I’ve had to pull it up out of his bedroom before. I’m like what is going on here?

>> Gabe Dough: That’s really amazing. Yeah, I mean we’ve seen that before with other people. You know, that it’s good for everybody when it comes to gut health, but for a pretty good percentage of people there’s a certain percentage of people where it really is vital. It’s becoming like, you know, they can’t live without it kind of thing. So he’s one of those?

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah, I think so.

>> Gabe Dough: I’m glad it’s helpful.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah. Well and I don’t know if you know our story but this kid you know he’s not a kid anymore. He’s. Man, he’s 21. he is kind of my reason for what I do. What I do. He was injured by a vaccine when he was two, and I have been working on his gut ever since, because I learned that that was an important part. And his gut microbiome was destroyed by vaccination. And so he went through the whole respiratory issues. He went through, all of that scary stuff, and it was terrifying when he was little. and so that has been. I’ve always been working on this kid’s gut, you know, and he’s had a few skin issues. He’s had all the signs of, gut issues. So I cannot wait. Usually, he’s pretty healthy. I mean, he’s very healthy, but through the summer, he’s always very pretty healthy. But when the fall comes around, he always experiences a dip. So I’m really excited. I’m really excited to get him to fall this year and see where he’s at through the fall. I think we could be at a turning point with good brew. I really do. So, thank you guys so much.

>> Gabe Dough: That’s wonderful. When we hear stories like that. And, yeah, the gut is connected to a lot of issues with people who have been vaccine injured. It’s connected with autism. they’ve done a lot of studies with gut microbiome of autistic children, especially children, but, you know, and how much it can affect their mood and your behavior and that sort of thing. But it’s not just, that’s just one example, Parkinson’s disease. The guy who, I forget his name, but who first started trying to connect Parkinson’s disease to digestive or gut microbiome decades ago, he was kind of laughed at. Now, that’s probably one of the leading theories on Parkinson’s, is that it’s a connection between the gut and the brain, and it’s not quite fully explained by anybody, but there’s a few good theories on that, and it goes on and on. If you just think it like the most basic level, like when you get hungry, it affects your mood. Now, that’s. That’s a normal, healthy thing because it’s, you know, that’s your nature telling you you need, it’s time to eat or whatever. But if you just think about it in simple terms like that, think about how much the gut, affects your, your. Your mental state and your behavior in a. In a normal, healthy way. And then if you just regulate it, how much that can spin out of control and, you know, and can affect everything, you know, about our nervous system and whatnot. So, yeah, it’s wonderful to hear that. It’s evident.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Yeah, yeah. It’s funny you would bring that up because we talked a ton this week on the show about Parkinson’s and dementia. Because I was featuring, one researcher’s, work quite a bit because I had listened to a few different podcasts that he’s been on recently. with this idea that dementia and Parkinson’s is absolutely preventable, and that very little of it is actually attributed to genes. you know, in the past, they would have us think that this is a genetic disposition and that once, you know, you got help, you got dealt these genes, Manda, and you can’t do anything about it. That was kind of the old thinking about dementia and Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s. And now we’re discovering, through new research that particulate matter, that inhaling these things that they’re spraying in the air, like, strontium and bromium and aluminum. This all has an impact on, these chronic conditions. And it certainly has an impact on our gut microbiome.

>> Gabe Dough: It absolutely. And there’s another like, derivative of that is. And that is, if you think about the genetics, if, if there’s always a genetic component to health in every, every way. But if you, but if you think about it in terms of it’s not all genetics, it’s not all environment, let’s say you do have a genetic, predisposition for something. Well, your gut microbiome, microbiome makes up more cells in your body. There’s more DNA of the microbiome in your body than there is of your own DNA. If you think that the effects of the microbiome doing the job that are genetically, some people may not be able to do, and other people may do it, but they do it on a limited basis without the assistance of the right gut microbiome. There may be compounds and components, components, metabolites that the microbiome is assisting or producing. like vitamin B family, of compounds particularly. But others short change fatty acids as well. So for some people, it’s even more important. So some people may have a genetic disposition to be able to kind of carry the load on some of these things. Where other people are more reliant on their gut microbiome to carry the load on some of these things. It’s always a balance. Like, choline, for example. Our body, we do produce, and there’s lots of things like this, but our bodies do synthesize choline. But we know that the majority of choline comes from our diet. And then if you specifically really look at like, say, pregnant women, I mean, they really need a lot of choline and there’s no way the body produces that. So a healthy microbiome helps in the digestion of your food and even the production of a lot of these, vitamins and essential fatty acids and those sorts of things.

Gabe, let’s talk about inulin fiber. I would like to know what it is

gabe, let’s talk about, inulin fiber. I would like to know what it is. And I’m just reading from a question here that came in for me, came in, a couple of weeks ago. What is inulin fiber? So why don’t we start there?

>> Gabe Dough: Yeah, sure. And don’t forget that naturally inspired is a 15% discount. Still, it’s good for always. As far as we’re naturally inspired on the website, it gives you the 15% discount. yeah, the inulin fiber is really kind of, you know, obviously we got, we only have two ingredients and part of that, you know, is we could add other things to good brew and maybe some days we will do, product line extensions or something along those lines. But what you kind of need to keep in mind is that what we’re trying to do with, with good brew is make something that is very natural, simple, and you can use in your routine. So you can mix this into coffee, but you can’t do that with other probiotics. And the inulin fiber itself is the most natural soluble fiber. It’s the fiber that’s typically you get from fruits. and so it’s basically a very soluble fiber that our bodies have in our microbiome have evolved to readily use and use as a prebiotic or the fuel for other good micro bacteria or bacteria, the microbiome to feed on, the microflora to feed on. And so basically if you compare inulin to a lot of other fibers on market, a lot of other fibers are not necessarily something that we would easily get from our diet. so like a dextrin or something like that, that’s highly processed from m the starch of say, corn or wheat. And with that, of course, being from corn or wheat, it’s unlikely that you’re going to have an organic fiber, much less one that’s also non gmo. But they’re also even more important, not necessarily study, to the extent that I’ve ever read that can really show that the right kind of microbes want to feed on that kind of fiber. So, you know, it’s just like if you have to feed fish a certain kind of food, you feed, you know, your dog a certain kind of food, you know, you feed chickens a certain kind of food, etcetera, etcetera. Well, the microbiome, you can think of it like that too. It’s very complex. And so certain micro organisms want to feed on certain kinds of fiber. And inulin is the one that you know, mother Nature has provided, you know, for, you know, for forever, basically. And so that means that we, you know, it also, well that means that it works well with, with the probiotic that we have in good brew. But it also means that other microbiome, other gut bacteria that you want flourishing. it can also benefit from, from, from the, from that fiber. And it gets into all other things. I mean, I think you probably want to ask me some other questions. I’ll let you kind to lead it along from there.

Pumpkin Creek Ranch’s inulin fiber can help improve gut microbiome

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: Well, I think it’s really a great thing because we’ve been talking about carnivore diet this week. We’ve had kind of a theme this week with thyroid health. because I’ve been getting so many questions about thyroid health and we were talking to Doctor Kowlowski yesterday and their recommendation is it really leans towards a carnivore diet, especially when you’re dealing with thyroid issues. So what a great way to be able to add this into your regiment because it doesn’t have, not going to upset your carnivore, diet or your heavily animal, based protocol that you want to stick to. So I think that that’s a really great solution, to that diet. I think it’s really valuable. How does the fiber affect the composition of the gut microbiome? So how does it change it so well?

>> Gabe Dough: So fiber in and of itself, it’s something that the western diet is usually lacking on to a larger degree or not. And then you combine that with the fact that through use of antibiotics over generations, and processed foods, all these things combined. The modern microbiome of people in the western world is much less diverse than it was even probably 50 years ago, but certainly 100 years ago. In fact, they’ll study tribes in Africa and to see a more complex microbiome and you know, and all the effects that has on human health from every, you know, from everything from mental health to immune health to whatnot. So when you take inulin fiber, you’re especially in combination with our probiotic, you’re starting to give the gut what it needs to regulate itself back to a more normal environment. So what’s known as dysbiosis is dysregulation of the gut microbiome. And probably a very, I mean, I don’t know what the percentage is, but I wouldn’t even hesitate to probably say it’s over 50%, good chance of it. In the western world, depending on how you divide it up, you know, that people have a dysbiosis and then that what that does is it really starts to affect all the other functions of your digestive tract, which thing starts to get into all of these kinds of like, you know, issues of where the gut mucosal layer starts to break down. And then now your endothelial layer is in direct contact with the digestive tract and it shouldn’t be that way. And then you know, it starts to lead to these things like leaky gut or you know, even things like acid reflux or constipation and these, these different things. And so it starts to have a cascading effect. And so when I, when you add inulin to your diet and you can start to shift that gut health back into a positive direction. there’s a lot of food sensitivities, food digestion, et cetera, on and on and on. you start to build a more normal gut and a more resistant gut. And then maybe when you do partake of some of our modern diet, if you do happen to stop into a fast food restaurant or whatever, you know, you’re not getting, hit as hard by, you know, by those things. You know, you’re building up your defenses, you know. So this is like a workout for your gut, for your gut microbiome?

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: yeah, I like that. I like that. can this product, do you think, help with digestive issues such as constipation or irritable bowel syndrome? When we come back, we’re gonna hear about that and we’re gonna get some testimonials, too. I love the stories. I love the stories of how people have experience the benefits of good brew. So stay tuned. We’ll be back. We’re talking to Gabe.

Gabe talks about gut health and its impact on people’s health

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: I can’t believe we are on the last segment already. This show has gone by so fast. That’s what happens when you have such great guests and good information being shared. It goes by quickly. Head over to goodbrew.com, goodbrew.com, and get some. Get yourself, the prebiotic fiber and the probiotic. I mean, I say it all the time. In the future, this is going to be common knowledge. I mean, it’s been building over the years people’s understanding about gut health and its impact on their health. But I just saw recently there’s a doctor, her name is doctor, Sabine Hazen, and she has been conducting studies on a gut biome, and it’s linked to autism. and they’re making breakthroughs. You know, they’re really starting to understand just the profoundness that a healthy gut biome has on our health. So if you’re dealing with things and it’s not, you know, it’s inflammation, it could be inflammation in the joints coming from your gut. I always talk about skin issues. Skin issues are directly related to your gut. You know, these types of things that we don’t necessarily correlate right away to a gut issue, but they are coming from our gut. So, it’s been a pleasure to have Gabe on here to talk a little bit more about it.

Good brew can help with constipation and irritable bowel syndrome

can you share with us any testimonials and stories? such as, you know, good brew helping with constipation or irritable bowel syndrome? that was one of the questions that I got, for my inbox was about those two things.

>> Gabe Dough: Okay, sure. Yeah. And also spelled b r u. So I know sometimes good brew is g o o d b r u, just in case, you know, anybody’s trying to search for it. yeah, so with the, so with iridol bowel syndrome or constipation, basically. So when you, in the short term, when you take good, brew. So one thing, you don’t have to use it with coffee. But just, I don’t think most people know that coffee also has a lot of fiber. So when you drink a cup of coffee, you’re also getting, like, several grams of soluble fiber with the coffee itself. So when you add the good brew, you know, whether it’s with coffee or not, but you’re getting, you know, several grams of soluble fiber, inulin fiber, with the good brew, and then you’re getting the probiotics. So in the short term, one of the things the inulin, the soluble fiber in inulin does is it helps to pull, moisture into the digestive tract. So it’s very water soluble. And, so you have this natural, prebiotic fiber that is water soluble, and it pulls moisture into the digestive tract. And that, in and of itself, helps a lot with, relatively quickly with constipation. So, that allows the stool to absorb water and pass through. But with something like good brew also, where you consume it over time, that also helps to make for a healthy digestive tract in that mucosal layer. And then you start getting into these, helping to assist the production of the proper short chain fatty acids like butyrate. Butyrate provides, like, 70% of the energy to the cells in the colon, which then you start getting into things that then transpire into long term digestive health, which poor long term digestive health is associated with things like digestive cancers, colon cancers, and that sort of thing. So there’s this longer term, benefit of sustaining good gut health. But in the short term, yeah, you have this immediate, you know, benefit of this, you know, just passes through with the like your food does. So as you take the fiber, it’s pulling water into the digestive tract. And that’s helping with constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. But over with time and consistent use to build a healthier gut, now you start to balance the whole microbiome and it starts to help more with full on regularity. So, you know, a healthy digestive tract where you’re not just, it’s not just trying to fight constipation in the short term, but you’re getting a more regular, you know, digestive, you know, system, which is key.

>> Tammy Cuthbert Garcia: I mean, we talked about that yesterday with the Kowlowskis, how important it is to, you know, if you’re not eliminating, chances are you’re harboring toxins.
