This episode is a wide-ranging, personal conversation about mindset, emotional regulation, spiritual coaching, and the difference between responding and reacting. Mindy Jackson shares how she integrates psychotherapy, Reiki, and spiritual work, while the host, Alla Kaplan, connects those ideas to real-life stressors like family, neighbors, work, and conflict. We discuss how thought patterns shape behavior, why people deceive in therapy, and how sovereignty, grounding, and perspective can help people handle daily friction with more clarity.

Mindy uses an integrative approach, combining clinical skills with energy healing and shamanic practices to treat PTSD.As an Intuitive Empath, Certified Medical Intuitive, Star Seed, and Energy Healer she also provides various Quantum Healing modalities apart from her Psychotherapy practice. Coming from a life filled with adversity, trauma, and family with mental health and addiction issues, Mindy’s near-death experience at age 5 followed by out of body experiences while in the hospital with encephalitis months later provided her with a magnified awareness, shifted her into metacognition, and intensified her empathy that gave rise to the ability to heal herself and others. In 2023, a post-operative stroke in the visual cortex left Mindy with central vision loss that she rehabilitated via painting. While painting the 22 Major Arcana of the Tarot, which tells the story of the Hero’s Journey, she regained about 95% of her vision and lived out each card as she painted it. When complete, she named her collection “Return of the Divine Feminine” not knowing the new quest life would have in store for her.
