In this special Season 3 recap, Heather and Kent McKean sit down to reflect on the episodes, guests, and themes that most deeply impacted listeners this year. They revisit standout conversations with therapist Carrie, veteran Matt, and client Molly, highlighting the profound shifts Mind Change has brought to issues like PTSD, long-term counseling burnout, and identity-level transformation. Heather and Kent also share how they tackled “big” topics—anxiety, ADHD, menopause, narcissism, autism, chronic pain, intimacy, and masculine/feminine dynamics—through the lens of emotional drivers and real-world healing. They celebrate major milestones in the Mind Change world, including the Spanish release of Heather’s book, a growing global audience, and the launch of their new community platform. Finally, they offer a heartfelt thank you to you and to everyone who has been listening, and they pull back the curtain on what’s ahead in 2026: retreats, workshops, a new book on femininity, and fresh ways to work with them more closely.

SIBO is usually described as “too much bacteria in the wrong place,” but what if it’s really an overgrowth of emotional responsibility, guilt, and other people’s chaos living in your gut? In this episode, Heather McKean explores the emotional and metaphysical blueprint behind SIBO—over-responsibility, self-punishment, delayed reactions, fear of change, and inherited family patterns. Through a client story and practical reflection questions, she shows how restrictive diets can often reinforce the very emotional architecture that created the problem in the first place. You’ll learn how to begin releasing what was never yours to carry, rebuild trust with your body, and support true healing using the Mind Change method.
