• 19. The Invisible Contracts That Shape Your Life with Sarah Peyton
    2026/07/17
    📺 Watch on YouTube and Spotify“We are metaphor, that we're made of metaphor. And so the issues that we have and the problems that we have with people are metaphors for the places where our brains are tied in knots and need to be untied and untangled so that we can become whoever it was brains were meant to be— in their snowflake, completely unique incarnation in the world.” says Sarah Peyton, researcher, teacher, and author specializing in relational neuroscience and nonviolent communication, who joins Mental Health in a Modern World for an unforgettable exploration of healing, trauma, and the forces shaping who we become.Sarah Peyton draws on revolutionary findings in neuroscience, family constellation work, and her own lived experience to explain why so many of our struggles are rooted in inherited patterns, unconscious contracts, and a deep need for resonance and accompaniment—rather than advice or “fixes.” In this conversation, Greg Schmaus invites Sarah Peyton to unpack the science and soul of how trauma disrupts our natural capacity for connection, why metaphor is a biological language of the brain, and how precision and warmth together create the conditions for transformation.Discover how the roles played by our earliest caregivers, unacknowledged grief, and “sabotaging” habits all point to what the nervous system has done to ensure our survival—and what’s truly required for lasting change. Listen to learn why we unconsciously replicate our family dynamics throughout life, how to uncover hidden “carrots” underlying self-sabotage, and what it really means to become the unique person your brain was always meant to be.5 Key TakeawaysDiscover transformative tools for healing, growth, and self-awareness from this episode. Start implementing these actionable steps in your own journey today:Cultivate Resonance: Practice offering others both precision and warmth in your communication to foster emotional connection and relaxation in the body 05:53.Embrace Metaphor: Use and notice metaphor in your language as a way to better understand yourself and create deeper connection with others 10:11.Prioritize Accompaniment over Advice: When supporting others, focus on being present and attuned rather than jumping straight to advice-giving 11:28.Identify and Update Unconscious Contracts: Reflect on self-sabotaging or restrictive patterns in your life, discover the hidden commitments driving them, and consciously choose healthier, updated behaviors 27:24.Recognize and Heal Family and Ancestral Patterns: Notice how family imprints and constellations shape your actions, and work to untangle and release what no longer serves you 54:38.Take your next step—choose one actionable point, practice it this week, and witness meaningful change in your life.Memorable Quotes"We are made of metaphor. The issues and problems we have with people are metaphors for the places where our brains are tied in knots and need to be untied, so we can become who our brains were meant to be in their snowflake, completely unique incarnation in the world.""When the correct word is given to an emotion that a human is feeling, that person's body relaxes. It's like the message has been received, and they get to move on to whatever's next.""If there's accompaniment and resonance, we don't actually have to make these contracts. If somebody were with me, going, 'Yes, of course this would be kind of scary sometimes,' then I don't have to make that contract to be closed; I can just be with what is."Connect with SarahWebsite - https://sarahpeyton.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/empathybrainX - twitter.com/resonantselfYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/sarahpeytonInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/sarahpeytonauthor/Resources MentionedW.W.

  • 18. Archetypal Psychology: Four Survival Archetypes and the Roots of Chronic Disease
    2026/07/10
    📺 Watch on YouTube and Spotify“There are no good archetypes, there are no bad archetypes. All archetypes have 50% light and 50% shadow,” says holistic health practitioner Greg Schmaus, who returns to Mental Health in a Modern World for a deep dive into the four survival archetypes and the unconscious contracts that shape our healing journeys. Drawing on teachings from Caroline Myss, Sarah Peyton, and Richard Schwartz, Greg exposes how the child, victim, saboteur, and prostitute archetypes underpin not just our challenges but also our paths to reclaiming inner empowerment and agency.This conversation explores how these primal patterns originate in childhood, the hidden agreements we make to secure safety, and how our light and shadow sides work together beneath the surface. Greg unpacks how these archetypes influence everything from trauma responses and chronic pain, to relationship dynamics and self-sabotage. He shares practical frameworks for identifying your own unconscious contracts—and guides listeners through a meditative exercise to “unblend and befriend” the parts of ourselves that hold us back, transforming internal enemies into allies for growth.Listen in to Mental Health in a Modern World for a revelatory dialogue that challenges how we see our suffering, provides tools for practical self-inquiry, and invites you to a more empowered, integrated path toward healing.5 Key TakeawaysTransform your healing journey by bringing awareness and agency to your foundational patterns—here’s how to start:Identify which of the four survival archetypes (child, victim, saboteur, or prostitute) most influences your current patterns and reflect on its impact in your life.Write out an unconscious contract you may hold with one archetype, detailing the agreement, behavior, benefit, and cost involved.Practice the guided meditation to connect with the part of yourself carrying this contract, using curiosity and compassion to understand its fears and history 33:31.Actively observe moments when you compromise your values, self-sabotage, or default to victimhood, and consciously choose a new response aligned with your empowered self.Unblend and befriend your protective parts by expressing gratitude for their role, then reclaim more agency and sovereignty over your choices 43:12.Start today: pick one archetype and take a small step toward compassionate self-awareness and transformation.Memorable Quotes"Archetypes are really the language of the psyche. Archetypes become the vehicles that we use to express ourselves and come to know ourselves in relationship to ourselves, others, and the world.""The saboteur always shows up at moments of expansion, at thresholds or moments of change or transformation. The saboteur is very often trying to protect us from the most empowered version of us.""You see the saboteur, the prostitute, or the victim are not an enemy. We see them as parts expressing this archetype, trying to protect us from some core wound, some trauma, or some experience from the past that they want to make sure never happens again."Resources MentionedSacred Contracts: Awakening Your Divine Potential by Caroline Myss - https://amzn.to/3VUzSPTYour Resonant Self: Guided Meditations and Exercises to Engage Your Brain's Capacity for Healing by Sarah Peyton - https://amzn.to/3zK1g9VInternal Family Systems Therapy by Richard C.

  • 17. Walking Between Worlds: A Doctors Journey Through Birth Death and Plant Medicine with Nathan Riley
    2026/07/03
    📺 Watch on YouTube and Spotify“It's the whole Dionysian Apollo dilemma… We don't value this sort of just oozing with, like, some sort of naturalist phenomenon that maybe came to you through a walk in the woods or standing under a waterfall and picking fresh fruit off of a tree or just trying to eat some flowers or berries from a bush. Like, ugh, who said that was okay to do?” says Nathan Riley, Western-trained OB-GYN, who joins Mental Health in a Modern World to share how a journey through plant medicine—guided in part by legendary shaman Hamilton Souther—upended his traditional medical training and transformed his understanding of birth, death, and our collective crisis of embodiment.A trailblazer at the intersection of holistic health and psychedelic medicine, Nathan Riley recounts his leap from pharmaceutical and surgical protocols to Amazonian wisdom and deep ceremonial work with psilocybin and ayahuasca, where practical and mystical insights now inform everything from postpartum care to the existential crises surrounding parenthood. He delves into the humbling lessons learned as both practitioner and student; the surprising, intuitive healing that emerges from surrendering to these master “allies”; and why reclaiming sovereignty over our bodies may be the most revolutionary act in today’s world.Tune in to his powerful conversation with Greg Schmaus for a candid exploration of how ancient plant teachers—and the simple act of being in our bodies—hold the keys to meaning in the modern human experience.5 Key TakeawaysUnlock transformative healing and deeper self-connection by embodying these insights from the conversation:Develop a regular practice of intentional plant medicine or psychedelic ceremonies to foster personal growth, humility, and direct guidance from inner wisdom.Set clear, authentic intentions when entering any ceremony or healing space—ask the plants or your own subconscious specific questions and state your desired focus for maximum clarity and empowerment.Make yourself truly available for spirit, intuition, and deeper insight by cultivating stillness, subtracting distractions, and spending time in nature or silent space.Reconnect with your body’s natural intelligence by tuning into somatic signals, emotional releases, and intuitive guidance, especially during moments of challenge or transition such as birth, parenting, or grief.Trust and honor your unique path—embrace remembering who you are at your core, rather than constantly seeking external validation, gadgets, or additions to fill internal gaps.Take one of these steps today: set aside time for stillness, reflect on your true intentions, or simply listen to your body's wisdom. Transformation begins with one choice.Memorable Quotes"I made an agreement with myself that every two to three weeks I would do a deep dive with psilocybin, nourish my own mushrooms, set up an altar, and have a conversation with the mushrooms to set intentions. Initially, it was very hard—months of just going through my own stuff. But at some point, I started the ceremony by talking to the mushrooms out loud and saying, 'I want to see your playful side' or 'I want to know how you want me to comport myself to be able to offer this medicine in a safe environment for others.' And then they show you.""When you’re in the river, you’re not going to die—not with these medicines. There’s a part of you that might be left behind, but that’s stuff I didn’t need to carry as baggage anyway. There are strange allegories that come through, and it’s a full send—surrender, leaping into the waters and treading for a while, instead of grabbing onto a rock for dear life, just letting the current take me downstream.""What’s most important is that many Eastern mystics have seemed to be on board with this for centuries. Since the age of enlightenment, if it’s not measurable, it’s not important—that, of all things, is just not useful to me anymore. There’s nothing more than you in this moment. If you want the world or your life to get better, you have to be willing to just be."Connect with NathanWebsite - www.bornfreemethod.comInstagram - www.instagram.com/nathanrileyobgynResources MentionedAbundance Archetype (program by Jason Picard) – https://jasonpicard.org/abundance-archetype/Sanctuary (offerings and teachings by Hamilton Souther) – https://www.bluemorphointernational.com/sanctuaryConnect with GregWebsite - https://www.healing4d.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/4d_healing/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@gregschmausLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-schmaus-22929589/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast: https://fullcast.coDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Mentioned in this episode:Embark on The HTM JourneyMHMW - HTMEmbark on The HTM JourneyMHMW - HTM

  • 16. Archetypal Psychology: The Archetype Wheel and Your Soul Blueprint
    2026/06/26
    📺 Watch on YouTube and Spotify“I love talking about rewiring your belief systems because, you know, your beliefs create your choices and your choices, you create your actions, and your actions create your reality,” says Kirsty Pratt—holistic coach, Ninja Warrior, and former Catholic schoolgirl—on this episode of Mental Health in a Modern World. Kirsty’s journey from being shaped by the rigid expectations of her upbringing to consciously liberating herself from inherited patterns is just the beginning.A longtime collaborator with Paul Chek, Kirsty unpacks how her intuition flourishes in nature, why the “visionary” archetype defines her approach to life, and how struggles with people-pleasing and burnout became springboards for authentic growth. She reveals what it takes to honor boundaries, live from intuition, and shed the limiting beliefs we rarely realize we carry.Tune in for an inspiring deep dive into self-mastery, archetypes, and the powerful intersection of creativity, discipline, and spiritual liberation—a roadmap for anyone seeking sovereignty in a modern world.5 Key TakeawaysUnlock your self-mastery and growth by exploring your archetypes and bringing conscious awareness to your patterns—here are five actionable takeaways to start your journey:Identify and work with one archetype each month, using the archetype wheel as a blueprint for personal growth and self-reflectionPay special attention to your “survival archetypes” (prostitute, victim, saboteur, and child archetypes), as these reveal areas with the greatest potential for healing and transformation.Practice saying “no” and setting clear boundaries in your communication and relationships to honor your authentic needs and avoid people-pleasing patterns.Balance active seeking and productivity with rest and integration, especially when you notice signs of burnout—use nature as a tool to recenter and restore yourself.Open yourself to receiving support—from others and the universe—instead of trying to do everything alone; asking for help is a strength, not a weakness.Take action today: Choose one takeaway, implement it for a week, and notice what shifts in your mindset and life.Memorable Quotes"I love talking about rewiring your belief systems because your beliefs create your choices, your choices create your actions, and your actions create your reality.""When I went through my quarter life crisis and really started spending time with myself and learning to love aspects of myself that I really hated, I realized how needed alone time is in my world, because without it, I am just out of balance.""I've gotten really familiar with what is a healthy balance between doing the seeking, the learning, and the experiencing versus the resting.

  • 15. Parts Work Through IFS: Healing Community Beyond Individual Therapy
    2026/06/19
    📺 Watch on YouTube and Spotify“We can't take people places we haven't gone ourselves,” says trauma therapist Chris Burris, who joins Mental Health in a Modern World to reveal why most of what we call ‘mental illness’ is actually the psyche’s adaptive strategy for survival—and why only true self-healing can allow us to guide others. Over his 35 years of clinical experience, Chris has witnessed the rise of “multiplicity of mind” as a liberating paradigm: understanding that our psyche is made of parts working both for and against us, many born from trauma and shaped by the need to protect.In this episode, Chris demystifies the Internal Family Systems (IFS) approach, explains how our internal critics often adopt the voices of past authorities and perpetrators, and explores why befriending—rather than battling—these wounded parts is the key to freedom. He shares stories of transformation, the importance of community healing, and how elders and true initiation are missing medicines in our fractured world. Chris also opens up about his journey with plant medicine, shamanic studies, and the necessity for both humility and holistic teamwork in therapy.Tune in to learn why healing is not a solo mission, how therapists must examine their own wounds, and what it really means to reclaim mental health in a world that desperately needs reconnection—to self, to others, and to something greater than ourselves.5 Key TakeawaysUnlock deeper healing in your life with these actionable insights from the episode:Befriend all your parts, even the critical or self-sabotaging ones, by approaching them with curiosity and compassion rather than resistance or judgment.Prioritize holistic health—address both mind and body imbalances and collaborate with a supportive, multidisciplinary team when seeking mental health support.Regularly engage in self-reflection and personal healing work, especially if you are a healer or helper, as you cannot guide others beyond where you’ve gone yourself.Actively seek out or create intentional healing communities or circles to experience support, belonging, and collective transformation.Clarify your gifts and purpose, and find ways to serve your community, transitioning from “me” focus to “we” focus through acts of service and connection.Take one bold step today: Choose a takeaway above and bring it into your own life or healing journey.Memorable Quotes"We can't take people places we haven't gone ourselves. If we haven’t rescued or unburdened our own parents that we're disconnected with, it's really hard to know how to help others do that themselves.""Being healthy in a messed up world isn't the most ideal circumstance. There's a quote I love: it's no sign of health to be adapted to a sick world.""A true elder is asking: How am I serving my community? What are my deliverables to that?

  • 14. Parts Work for the Inner Critic: Why Positive Thinking Isn't Enough
    2026/06/12
    📺 Watch on YouTube and Spotify“The inner critic is not an enemy. The inner critic has good intentions. The inner critic is a benevolent protector,” says Greg Schmaus, holistic health practitioner and integrative mental health coach, on this episode of Mental Health in a Modern World. After personally overcoming severe anxiety and OCD, Greg Schmaus has dedicated the last decade to guiding thousands through healing by combining lifestyle coaching, psycho-emotional work, mindfulness, and archetypal practices.Today, Greg Schmaus breaks down the origins of the inner critic, revealing how this often-misunderstood internal voice is not something we’re born with, but a protector part we inherit in response to early criticism or shame—usually from parents or authority figures. He exposes the limitations and potential harm of common self-help advice that urges us to “eliminate” or “replace” the inner critic with positive thinking, arguing instead for a revolutionary approach: befriending and understanding the inner critic’s protective role.In this episode, Greg Schmaus shares a powerful meditative practice to relate to your inner critic with compassion, explains the neuroscience and psychology behind parts work, and explores how modern life’s overwhelming flow of information fuels cycles of not-enoughness and self-sabotage. You'll walk away with concrete tools to begin unblending from your inner critic and forging a healthier, more spacious relationship with yourself.Tune in to Mental Health in a Modern World for a transformative perspective on the root cause of your inner dialogue—and discover how true healing begins by turning toward, not away from, your most critical parts.5 Key TakeawaysUnlock new freedom from your inner critic—here are five powerful steps you can use starting today:Recognize that your inner critic is a protector, not an enemy—approach it with curiosity instead of resistance.Pause and practice "unblend and befriend": create space between yourself and the critical voice, then get to know its positive intentions.Identify the core wound or belief your inner critic is trying to protect (such as shame, humiliation, or not-enoughness).Write out your self-critical contract: clearly state the agreement, behavior, benefit, and cost driving your inner dialogue.Balance your information consumption with mindful integration to prevent your inner critic from growing louder—apply what you learn rather than just accumulating more knowledge.Start implementing one step today and witness the shift inside yourself—your healing begins with action.Memorable Quotes"The inner critic is not an enemy. The inner critic has good intentions. The inner critic is a benevolent protector.""No child is ever born with an inner critic. All judgments and all criticisms are borrowed and inherited.""In parts work, what's called unblend and befriend. Unblend means we separate ourselves from the part; befriending means it's not the enemy—it's a part that we see in a benevolent way."Resources MentionedFamily Constellation Work (as taught by Sarah Peyton) - https://sarahpeyton.com/Connect with GregWebsite - https://www.healing4d.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/4d_healing/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@gregschmausLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-schmaus-22929589/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast: https://fullcast.coDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Mentioned in this episode:Embark on The HTM JourneyMHMW - HTMEmbark on The HTM JourneyMHMW - HTM

  • 13. Archetypal Psychology: The Warrior Archetype for Modern Men's Mental Health with Kyle Kingsbury
    2026/06/05
    📺 Watch on YouTube and Spotify“The medicine’s always with you. Until you realize it for yourself, it doesn’t matter who tells you that or how many times you drink ayahuasca,” says Kyle Kingsbury, former UFC fighter turned holistic health coach, on Mental Health in a Modern World. Kingsbury shares how his journey from the physical violence and discipline of professional fighting evolved into a lifelong quest for presence, self-mastery, and ultimately spiritual awakening. He peels back the layers of the “warrior” archetype, describing how true strength lies not just in discipline but in knowing what’s worth fighting for—and balancing that drive with the softer power of the lover archetype.In this episode, Kingsbury details his transformation through martial arts, plant medicines, and deep spiritual practice, questioning the Western pursuit of constant addition—more hacks, more knowledge, more intensity—as a substitute for genuine self-understanding. From the dangers of awakening that outpaces integration to the pitfalls of spiritual ego and the necessity of real community and connection with nature, Kingsbury brings raw honesty and powerful lived experience to the table.Tune in to Mental Health in a Modern World to hear why Kingsbury believes we can’t “add” our way to healing, why the strongest among us are often the most attuned to vulnerability and connection, and what we’re missing about real rites of passage, self-acceptance, and the wisdom found in simply slowing down.5 Key TakeawaysThis episode delivers practical wisdom for living with depth, purpose, and balance—here are five actionable steps to transform your life today:Commit to Integration, Not Just Insight: After any powerful experience—whether plant medicine, therapy, or learning—focus on actively integrating the lessons into your daily life to create real, lasting change.Master Your Shadow Through Self-Inventory: Regularly review your behaviors and patterns, especially those shaped by the warrior and other archetypes, to expose and work with your personal shadow.Prioritize Community and Authentic Connection: Seek out and cultivate genuine relationships and participate in groups or circles that offer support, challenge, and authentic witnessing.Balance Consumption With Contemplation: Slow down your rate of consuming information, create regular pockets of stillness and reflection, and trust when you feel the urge to pause or let go.Reconnect With the Natural World: Develop a direct relationship with nature—whether through farming, sourcing your food locally, or simply spending mindful time outside.Memorable Quotes"The warrior faces life frontally. It doesn’t avoid challenge. When I was a kid, my parents would fight, I would shut down and freeze. But in school, when things got tough, I would stand up and fight. There’s a big distinction between crumbling and confronting life head-on.""When your rate of awakening outpaces the pace of integration, the potential downside is you lose your mind. That’s probably the biggest one, and that’s the worst one by far. There’s nothing as bad as that; I’m not even sure death is as bad as losing the mind.""The medicine’s always with you, and until you realize it for yourself, it doesn’t matter who tells you that or how many times you drink ayahuasca. It takes you actually having access to that point to recognize it. People can tell you over and over that you’re going to be successful or have all this going for you, but until you understand it for yourself, it’s meaningless."Connect with KyleWebsite - https://www.kingsbu.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/kylekingsbu/Resources MentionedKing, Warrior, Magician, Lover by Robert Moore and Douglas Gillette - https://amzn.to/4epm17GStealing Fire by Steven Kotler & Jamie Wheal - https://amzn.to/4uR23c5Gene Keys by Richard Rudd - https://amzn.to/4frFJkiHow to Eat, Move and Be Healthy! by Paul Chek - https://amzn.to/4uQYIttConnect with GregWebsite - https://www.healing4d.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/4d_healing/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@gregschmausLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-schmaus-22929589/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast: https://fullcast.coDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Mentioned in this episode:Embark on The HTM JourneyMHMW - HTMEmbark on The HTM JourneyMHMW - HTM

    2026/05/29
    📺 Watch on YouTube and Spotify“Spirit’s always in charge… Life is just the lily pads to getting to where we’re going to go anyway,” says Dawn Paula, evidential medium and energy healer who joins Mental Health in a Modern World to unravel the mysteries of intuition, near-death experiences, and the deep connection between the physical and spiritual realms. Having encountered profound paranormal experiences since childhood and survived a life-changing near-death event in high school, Dawn Paula has spent her life seeking out others who share these boundary-expanding encounters—and now helps clients explore their own intuitive and psychic abilities.In this immersive, hope-filled episode, Dawn Paula reveals how “the spirit world isn’t out there—it’s right here,” sharing her journey from sports medicine into massage therapy, Reiki, and ultimately, mediumship. She explains why modern society dampens our innate sensitivity, how children’s energetic gifts are shaped (and often shut down) by trauma and cultural programming, and how the rise of technology is altering our consciousness and frequency. She and Greg also dive into the purpose of soul contracts, the nuances of free will, and why embracing both the dark and the light is essential to the human experience.Tune into Mental Health in a Modern World for an unforgettable conversation on spiritual awakening, evidential mediumship, and how to reclaim your sovereignty—and your joy—on this wild, multidimensional path.5 Key TakeawaysUnlock your intuitive potential and embrace your spiritual path with these actionable steps:Trust your intuition—reconnect with the innate sensitivity and knowingness you had as a child.Nurture your physical body—maintain your health to raise your vibration and deepen spiritual connection.Approach technology mindfully—limit overwhelming input to create space for subtle awareness and intuitive growth.Embrace free will—recognize your power to shape your journey through conscious choice and self-empowerment.Allow yourself to play—infuse your life with joy, curiosity, and lightness on your spiritual path.Take one step today to trust yourself more and live with greater presence!Memorable Quotes"I believe that we are really spiritual beings having this earthly human experience. As children, we're open, we're just naturally intuitive, and then society starts to desensitize us from that knowingness.""Our intuition is one of the hardest and greatest things that we can do in being connected to source and spirit. I think that's what really desensitizes children—teaching them to go against the grain and not to trust themselves.""The gift is being in the human body and being able to experience it all, knowing that it's not the end all, be all."Connect with DawnWebsite - https://www.dawnpaula.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/_dawnpaula_Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/DawnPaulaPsychicMediumResources MentionedSacred Soul Society – https://www.dawnpaula.com/sacred-soul-societyWaze – https://www.waze.com/Poltergeist - https://amzn.to/3PqyiiUConnect with GregWebsite - https://www.healing4d.com/Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/4d_healing/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@gregschmausLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/greg-schmaus-22929589/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast: https://fullcast.coDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Mentioned in this episode:Embark on The HTM JourneyMHMW - HTMEmbark on The HTM JourneyMHMW - HTM
