Changeable Podcast

Tammy had an eating habit for 40 years. She tried everything. I do mean everything. She lists many of the things she tried in this episode (and then she sent me a long email with 20 more things she tried, but forgot to mention).Then Tammy came across the New Paradigm and things began to shift. At first, The post EP75: Tammy’s Change Story: The 40-Year Eating Habit that Never Was appeared first on...

Phil had a somewhat distant relationship with his father for as long as he can remember. When Phil was in his 20s, his father disowned him and they didn’t speak for 10 years. Phil thought he was over it. He had forgiven his father and moved on. Until he realized there was more on offer. The story The post EP74: How Your Parent Can Completely Change (Even When They Don’t Change At All) with Phil Go...

It’s another Surprise episode! This one is a replay of Episode 23 from around this time last year. I wanted to republish this episode because…it’s so funny….of all the somewhat deep things I talk about, people LOVE dysfunctional family bingo! I can’t even tell you how many emails I get from people every year, every time I The post Special EP: Dysfunctional Family Bingo appeared first on Dr. Amy Jo...

I recently had the opportunity to share the New Paradigm at the UK’s National Health Services (NHS).In this episode, I’ll share how that opportunity came to be and what I learned from my time there. I’ll discuss: The massive (yet seemingly subtle) difference between knowing that all people are full of mental health right now versus that The post EP73: What I Learned Sharing the New Paradigm with N...

In this episode, we explore preferences. How do you know you like or dislike the things you say you like and dislike? It’s such a strange question, I know! It can be incredibly freeing to look at how much of our lives is conditioned…not just how we think, feel, and behave, but even our preferences. Even those The post EP72: Do You Even Like What You’re Eating, Drinking, and Buying? appeared first...

Surprise! It’s Wednesday and I’m here with an episode for you. The episode that follows is actually Episode 19, which originally aired this week last year. Even if you listened to it then, consider giving it another listen. One of the things that so fun about this New Paradigm, aside from all that it opens up for us The post Special EP: Gratitude and Contentment in the New Paradigm appeared first...

“The way you do anything is the way you do everything.”That’s only true in terms of stories our mind tells. The way our mind talks about anything is the way it talks about everything. But we’re never locked into those stories. In this episode, we explore the stories minds tell when we’re feeling threatened or afraid.

Diane’s mind used to constantly ask ‘what if?’What if something bad happened? What if she felt anxious in public? What if it was too hot outside? What if it was too cold? And then she was introduced to a ‘what if?’ question on the other side of things. A ‘what if?’ question that pushed her imagination in the The post EP70: Diane’s Change Story: How Two Words Changed Everything appeared first on Dr...

It looks like things outside of us can trigger experience within us. A fight with your partner triggers the desire for a drink. The smell of food triggers a binge. Work stress triggers a feeling of overwhelm. And it really looks like some experience triggers more experience. A memory triggers a rush of anger. Hormones trigger anxiety.

There is one simple little misunderstanding that precedes most suffering. One simple little trap we tend to fall into, that leaves us confused and uncomfortable. The good news is that this trap is very changeable. Seeing it as a trap allows you to sidestep it much of the time. The other good news is that even when The post EP68: The Biggest Trap of All appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson .

It’s a great question, isn’t it? Who cares about our essence, our nature, our core, when your body has an illness? Or when your mind isn’t working the way it ‘should’, or when your life circumstances are the worst you can imagine? What good is innate health when everything that’s physical and human is falling apart? Well, here’s The post EP67: What Good is Innate Health when my Mind or Body are Br...

If you’ve listened to Changeable, you know that what’s ultimately behind deep, lasting change is insight. Glimpsing truth beyond the appearance of things. Seeing something about who we are and how we work. Seeing it, sensing it, feeling it…not necessarily acting or “doing” our way there. The new paradigm looks far beyond our behaviors or any The post EP66: Releasing What Is In The Way with Hale Dw...

As we see ourselves and our experience in a brand new way, things that used to comfort us don’t in the same way. Old identities and plans no longer fit. That’s a beautiful thing! Old, limiting concepts are falling away. Although it’s a wonderful sign of change, it’s definitely not always comfortable. Listen in to hear how The post EP65: When Old Comforts No Longer Comfort appeared first on Dr. Amy...

Back in April, Teri had a major disappointment. It threw her for a loop. She went through all the feelings. She thought this disappointment shouldn’t affect her as much as it did. After all, she has this new paradigm understanding. What good was it if she was suffering this much? When Teri’s mind settled and she began to The post EP64: When Hard Things Happen with Teri Whiteman appeared first on D...

I constantly hear people talking about how important it is to “be okay with” their experience. They want to accept what is. Be okay with. Feel a certain way about [fill in the blank].That looks like the ticket to freedom, the key to satisfaction, the way we experience peace. Except it’s not. Not really. What if there’s something The post EP63: You don’t Have to be Okay with your Experience appeare...

“Mental health is designed into us.”I know this to be true. But for some reason, it stopped me in my tracks when Julieanne said it in the first few minutes of our conversation. Julie talks about how so much of the change in her life came from every day interactions. Not from learning or exploring anything in The post EP62: Realizing that Mental Health is Built into our Design with Julieanne Chazot...

Our understanding of how human beings work is undergoing a pretty massive transformation. Love, compassion, and understanding used to look like qualities we could bring into our lives to combat the very real problems of separation, confusion, and disconnection. Now we know that love, compassion, and understanding are who we are. They can’t be absent. Separation, confusion, The post EP61: The Old U...

In this episode, we explore exactly how to stay stuck in a habit. Step by step. (Because I love steps). How to dig your heels in and stay right where you are. Do these 5 things and I can pretty much promise you’ll be as stuck as ever. Don’t do them…and you just might start feeling un-stuck. Here’s the The post EP60: How to NOT Break a Habit appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson .

For decades, Susan rarely left her house. She couldn’t bear to have visitors. Service calls were routinely cancelled last minute. Friends and family knew to keep a distance while she coped with her anxiety the best she could. Little by little, as Sue immersed herself in the New Paradigm understanding, she began to see things differently. She didn’t The post EP59: Susan’s Change Story: Agoraphobia...

Years ago, I wrote an article about how my little dog Buddha dug into my lap during fireworks season. She’d claw and scratch and burrow her way into me, running for her life from the loud booms all around. Except, she obviously wasn’t running for her life. She had no idea that she was 100%, perfectly The post EP58: You Have No Idea How Safe You Are appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson .

Crystal Saltrelli is a well known health coach who helps people with a stomach issue called gastroparesis. When Crystal began coaching around this issue, her support centered mostly on diet and lifestyle. It didn’t take long for her to see that stress or “mindset” as she called it at the time was playing a big role, too. The post EP57: How the New Paradigm Changed the Way a Health Coach Views Heal...

If you’re scanning these show notes for the one word that is the key to everything you’re looking for…I’m not going to include it here. You have to listen to the episode to find out. Do you have a guess though? It’s the key to everything you’re looking for and the worst advice you’ll ever hear. You find everything The post EP56: This One Word is the Key to Everything You’re Looking For. And, it’s...

Emillie has been around this understanding for a while. She was in and out. She’d hear something profound and helpful, then fall back toward her long-time disordered eating habits and assume she had lost whatever it was she heard. But after a while, something interesting began to happen. Even though Emillie was still binge eating–worse than ever, The post EP55: Emillie’s Change Story: Binge Eating...

In this episode, I talk about the feeling of hunger. As I experiment with feeling of hunger (as opposed to quickly trying to “satisfy” it so that it will go away), things have opened up that I never imagined. I feel stronger. Safer. Far more peaceful and less shakable. My capacity to feel anything and everything feels as The post EP54: Hunger appeared first on Dr. Amy Johnson .

Before Patricia came to the New Paradigm, she was having frequent panic attacks. She went to the ER regularly, sure each time that there was a physical issue that needed to be addressed. She had trouble leaving the house without water, an energy bar (“just in case I got stranded”), and some sort of self-help listening material The post EP53: Patricia’s Change Story: Panic and Worrying about What O...
