The Advisor with Stacey Chillemi

Nobody sent flowers when you lost the job that defined you. There was no ceremony when the marriage ended, the dream dissolved, or the version of yourself you had been building quietly stopped existing. Invisible grief — the kind that does not come with a funeral or a casserole or permission to fall apart — is some of the most disorienting loss a person can experience. Three grief experts join Lis...

Two people have the same injury. The same diagnosis. The same treatment. And one of them heals and the other stays stuck in pain for months. That difference is not weakness or bad luck. It is a pain personality — the specific combination of nervous system patterns, mindset habits, and fear responses that either amplify or quiet pain signals long after the physical injury has been addressed. Dr. Ha...

You have been curious about it. Maybe a little skeptical. Wondering whether what you have seen in movies has anything to do with what actually happens in a real session — and whether it could do anything for the stress, the cravings, the loops you keep finding yourself in no matter how much willpower you apply. Tisha Cain is a hypnotherapist and behavior change coach who has spent her career separ...

You have been trying to make a decision and every part of you is pulling in a different direction. Your logic says one thing. Your emotions say another. Your gut has an opinion neither of them wants to hear. That internal conflict is not confusion — it is three separate intelligence systems each processing the situation through completely different filters, and when they are not aligned every choi...

Every time you pick up your phone without deciding to, your brain gets trained a little more. Every time an anxious thought pulls you down a spiral, that pathway gets a little deeper. You are not choosing these patterns — they are being conditioned into you by algorithms designed to keep you scrolling and a nervous system that learned to associate the phone with relief. Phyllis Coletta has spent h...

Most people learn about leadership from books written by people who studied people who led. Deepak Parashar went to the source — 14 years, 38 countries, and over 100 conversations with astronauts, military commanders, monks, mystics, engineers, and civilizational pioneers to understand what inner mastery, human resilience, and extraordinary leadership actually look like from the inside. What he ha...

Self-love has a branding problem. It sounds soft. Optional. Something you do after everything else is handled. Mike Wood says that framing is exactly why so many people — especially men — are quietly crumbling while telling everyone they are fine. Real self-love is not bubble baths and affirmations. It is the brutally honest work of forgiveness, boundary-setting, letting go of what is slowly killi...

You hit the wall. Maybe your body gave out. Maybe everything fell apart at once. Maybe you just could not keep pushing and the pushing finally stopped for you. Most people call that a breakdown and spend years trying to recover from the shame of it. Dr. Evette Rose calls it a signal — the most honest and urgent message your nervous system and your life can send when everything you have been ignori...

Nobody explained it to you. There were things that were not discussed, doors that stayed closed, a heaviness in the house that had no name. You grew up in that silence and somewhere along the way it became your anxiety, your hypervigilance, your sense of never quite being enough — and you could never trace it back to anything that actually happened to you. Willie Handler is the son of Holocaust su...

Bitterness feels like protection. It is not. It is the thing that keeps the person who hurt you living rent-free in your future while you pay the price. This quick reset will give you one simple mental shift to start choosing healing over bitterness — without pretending it did not happen and without shutting everyone else out. You’ll learn (and how this helps you): ✨ Why holding on to hurt slowly...

Inside prison, Stacey kept hearing the same thing from doctors, lawyers, and professionals sitting across from her: "My life is over." She kept telling them the same truth. Your past is real. Your mistakes are real. But you are not done. This 60-second reset is that same truth — for anyone who has hit rock bottom and needs to hear that the last chapter does not decide the next one. 👉 For more con...

DK Kang watched his wife face infertility, a breast cancer diagnosis, and chronic stress that would have broken most people — and what they discovered together about the role of mindset and food-as-medicine in that fight changed how both of them understand health entirely. Most people treat what they eat and how they think as lifestyle choices. DK treats them as clinical decisions with measurable...

Most people put astrology and biohacking in completely different boxes. One is spiritual. One is scientific. Nahum Justin Vizakis puts them in the same toolkit — and what he has found about how planetary cycles, nervous system regulation, and intentional self-mastery stack together to create results that neither approach produces on its own will make you look at both disciplines completely differe...

Every message you have received about menopause has been about loss. Lost energy. Lost hormones. Lost vitality. Helen Stearns wants to completely rewrite that story. As a Doctor of Nursing Practice and menopause expert she has spent her career working with women who refuse to accept that midlife is the beginning of the end — and what she shares about the evidence-based moves that actually crush ho...

You have heard about inner child work. Maybe you have even tried it. And the patterns it was supposed to heal are still showing up — in who you choose, how you parent, how you earn, and how you react when someone gets too close. The reason most inner child healing does not stick is that it stays in the mind. Understanding the wound does not release it. Inna Segal is a healer and author who works a...

You have been avoiding plastic water bottles, switching to glass containers, and feeling guilty every time you use a plastic bag. The fear around microplastics and environmental damage from plastics is everywhere — and Dr. Chris DeArmitt says most of it does not survive contact with real data. As a plastics expert who has spent his career studying the actual science rather than the headlines, what...

You have tried the habits. The morning routine. The streak. The accountability system. And somewhere around day twelve the whole thing falls apart and you are back where you started. The problem is not discipline. It is the difference between a habit and a ritual — and most people have never been taught what that difference actually is or why it matters for the brain. Aeon Archer is a spiritual gu...

You have tried the diets. The supplements. The lifestyle overhauls that worked for someone else and did almost nothing for you. The problem is not effort — it is precision. Generic wellness advice was never built for your specific body, your specific markers, or the specific imbalances quietly driving your fatigue and inflammation. Dr. Emmie Brown is a naturopathic doctor who works specifically at...

You sit down to focus. Your mind is already three tabs ahead — the email you forgot, the conversation you replayed, the worry that has nothing to do with what is in front of you. That is not a focus problem. That is an untrained mind doing exactly what untrained minds do. Phyllis Coletta is the author of How to Be a Good Dog and she has built an entire mental training system around the one command...

Every wellness message you have received about the sun has been about protection, avoidance, and damage control. Sylvain Horwood, founder of PURU Suisse, says that fear-based relationship with sunlight is quietly costing you energy, sleep quality, mood stability, and longevity that no supplement can replace. What he shares about the truth behind SPF confusion and all-sun-is-bad thinking, how to ti...

You did not choose the patterns you inherited. The anxiety, the emotional shutdown, the relationship dynamics that feel disturbingly familiar — none of that was your decision. But continuing it is. Willie Handler wrote Out From the Shadows because he had to face his own inherited wounds before he could write about anyone else's — and what came out of that process was not just a memoir but a clear-...

I’ve been paying Apple for a subscription for years, and barely anyone knew it existed — that changes today. In this episode, I’m launching the Advisor Inner Circle on Apple: a private layer of the show with bonus episodes, early access, and raw, coaching-style conversations I don’t put on the main feed. 🎧 You’ll hear why I created the Inner Circle, what you actually get when you join, and a quic...

The ceremony is not the healing. That is the thing most people who are drawn to plant medicine — ayahuasca, iboga, kambo — do not understand going in, and the reason so many people have profound experiences that do not translate into lasting change. Nahum Justin Vizakis has worked with plant medicine as part of a larger healing architecture — trauma integration, nervous system work, ancestral patt...

You are not just getting older. You are getting older faster than you need to — and the Western diet, chronic stress, and daily toxin exposure are the specific drivers most people never connect to how they feel in their body right now. Rich Chi is a holistic wellness expert who works specifically at the cellular level of aging — and what he shares about his five pillars for reversing accelerated a...

You have been optimizing your diet, reading labels, choosing organic — and the food system supplying all of it is quietly collapsing under the weight of a broken model that is squeezing small farmers out of existence while your grocery bill keeps climbing. Dana DiPrima almost quit her mission twice a week before she built For Farmers Movement into a national force with real grants and real change...
