Finding Harmony Podcast

 
Description
Everyone is talking about nervous system regulation. But what if the goal isn't to be calm all the time? In Episode 337, Harmony Slater and Russell Case talk with Laurie James, author of Sandwiched: A Memoir of Holding On and Letting Go, host of the Confessions of a Free Bird podcast, and a certified somatic practitioner and coach who works in the Somatic Experiencing approach developed by Peter Levine.
Laurie shares how caring for aging parents while raising four daughters, and the end of a 26-year marriage, led to a season of overwhelm and then to somatic healing. She explains what Somatic Experiencing is, why a healthy nervous system moves between activation and rest many times a day, how to build capacity instead of chasing calm, and why you can heal without retelling your whole story.
In this episode
Why the goal of nervous system work is flexibility and resilience, not constant calm
What Somatic Experiencing is, and how listening to the body differs from directing it from the top down
How the vagus nerve and neuroception shape your response to safety and threat
What it means to complete a threat response that never finished
How yoga, nature and slow movement support regulation
Why you don't have to revisit your story to release it
How a memoir, a podcast and one-on-one work grew out of a second-half-of-life reinvention

What happens when the thing that saved your life becomes the thing you have to heal from?
Chad Herst has been practicing Ashtanga yoga since his twenties — authorized to teach by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois himself in 2003 — and coaching high-performing founders and executives since 2008. From the outside, he'd figured it out. From the inside, he was running the exact pattern he now helps his clients name: the drive that builds something real, and then keeps running long after it stops feeling like enough.
 
Harmony and Russell sit down with their old friend from the Mysore years to talk about what actually broke that pattern open — a body that finally refused to cooperate, a decade of sitting with ayahuasca, and a grief from his brother's death in 1991 that he didn't let himself fully feel until he turned 50. It's a conversation about achievement, identity, family patterns, and what it costs to keep proving you're enough — and what's on the other side of finally stopping.
Chad's new book, The Performance Trap: The Ache No Success Will Ever Fix, launches October 1, 2026 Get the first chapter, read in his voice, at herstwellness.com/chapter-one.
 
Guest bio:
Chad Herst is a mind/body coach and licensed acupuncturist who has coached founders, executives, and high performers since 2008 — the kind of people who look, from the outside, like they've figured it out. Most of his life, he was one of them, which turned out to be the part the work was about. He spent years training in Ashtanga yoga and was authorized to teach by Sri K. Pattabhi Jois in 2003 [VERIFY]. His new book, The Performance Trap: The Ache No Success Will Ever Fix, names the pattern he kept finding underneath the success in his clients, and in himself: the drive that builds something real, then keeps running long after it stops feeling like enough. He lives in Northern California with his wife, Melissa.

Key takeaways:
Achievement can be a coping mechanism as much as a calling — and the two can look identical from the outside
A pattern that starts as protection (being "the good kid," never a problem) can quietly become an identity you can't set down
Practices like Ashtanga, meditation, and ceremony don't create your patterns — they reveal and can magnify them
Sometimes the body has to break down before old grief finally has somewhere to go
Integration — bringing an insight into ordinary daily life — is harder, and more important, than the peak moment that produced it
Telling the truth about your own story, even imperfectly and even when family disagrees with how you tell it, can itself be a form of healing
 
Content Advisory: This episode includes a personal conversation about grief after a suicide loss, a family member's mental illness, and the complicated emotions that can follow. Please take care while listening, and feel free to skip this one if it isn't the right time.

Marie Manuchehri was a thirty-seven-year-old oncology nurse when, mid-task at a patient's bedside, her clairvoyance switched on — and never switched off. Thirty years later, she has spent more time than most of us at the edge between living and dying.
In this conversation with Harmony Slater and Russell Case, Marie explains why joy is the condition that opens intuition rather than the reward for it, how to tell a genuine knowing from ordinary fear, and what she has noticed in the rooms of people who were about to cross over. She also shares the moment she told her nursing supervisor what was happening to her — certain it would end her career.
 
Key takeaways:
Joy isn't a reward for doing the work — in Marie's model it's the condition that makes intuition possible
Intuition is a high-frequency state, which is why it goes quiet in fight-or-flight, where most people live
Fear is not intuition. If a message arrives with a story attached, it's coming from the mind
Her technique: deliberately move your energy down out of the brain and into the pelvis, so the third eye has room
Her abilities opened at 37, on a day shift she hadn't chosen, in a hospital she loved
She doesn't remember her sessions afterward, which she considers a mercy
"You can only love your neighbour as much as you love yourself"
For empaths: stay in your own lane, stay in your own joy, stop carrying the world
 
Marie Manuchehri is an intuitive, healer, and medium who began her healing career while working as an oncology nurse in a Seattle-area hospital. Her perceptions and her ability to move energy have assisted many people in healing their bodies.
Marie loves to educate those who are also on the healer's path, and teaches many courses focused on intuition and the awareness of energy — tools for recognising and understanding your own intuition, and for offering new perceptions to those seeking healing. She's devoted to teaching people about the real, positive impact their own psychic abilities can have on transforming their lives and their psychology, as well as the lives of others.
In her private practice, Marie cares for clients around the world, providing insight into their health concerns as well as mediumship to help them connect with loved ones on the Other Side. She hosts the bi-monthly Joyful Intuitive Podcast and is the author of Intuitive Self-Healing and How to Communicate with Your Spirit Guides.

Harmony Slater and co-host Russell Case sit down with executive coach, theater artist, and University of Virginia lecturer Denise Stewart for a conversation about story, voice, and confidence.
With more than three decades of experience as an actor, playwright, and director, Denise now coaches CEOs, physicians, scientists, entrepreneurs, and university students on how to access their own stories — not a polished script, but the real, specific, unglamorous truth that actually connects.
Topics covered:
Why code-switching and accent shame shape how we show up to speak
The difference between a "vulnerable moment" and a "weak performance"
Why vague stories ("it was a hard time") lose an audience, and how to dig for the moment underneath
Aristotle's six elements of story — plot, character, spectacle, diction, music, and theme — as an entry point into your own history
"Story pulling" instead of storytelling: how to help someone else open up without interrogating them
Why some audiences need vulnerability and others need authority, and how to tell the difference
Protecting the stories you haven't "earned" the right to tell yet
How Denise coaches Tibetan entrepreneurs, neurosurgeons, and early-stage founders to pitch from story instead of platitude
About Denise Stewart: Denise Stewart is an executive coach and lecturer at the University of Virginia's Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy, where she teaches public speaking, improv, and storytelling. She holds an MFA in Playwriting from UVA and has spent over 15,000 hours in public speaking and theatrical performance, including touring her one-woman show Dirty Barbie and Other Girlhood Tales to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Her clients include entrepreneurs, physicians, scientists, and Fortune 500 teams.

What happens when four days alone in the desert — no food, no phone, just water and a sleeping bag — bring you face to face with your own unconscious? Filmmaker Jan Becker joins Harmony and Russell to talk about Vision Quest, his documentary chronicling one of humanity's oldest rites of passage, and how a project that began with his friend Christian Oliver became something far more personal after Christian's sudden death.
Guest Bio
Jan Becker is a German-born filmmaker based in Los Angeles. After years working as a cinematographer, he turned to directing documentaries shaped by his long-standing interest in meditation, Jungian psychology, and trauma and recovery work. Vision Quest, his latest film, follows a small group — including his close friend, actor and filmmaker Christian Oliver [VERIFY] — through a traditional four-day, four-night fasting ritual in the high desert. What began as a passion project between friends became, after Christian's sudden death, a tribute to his memory and an exploration of grief, healing, and the questions that outlast us.

Key Takeaways
A vision quest is four days and nights alone in nature with only water — an ancient rite of passage most modern people never experience.
Jan describes nature as communicating in images rather than words — a Jungian lens on the unconscious.
Grief can reshape a creative project's purpose without erasing its original intention.
Confidence and clarity often come after the discomfort, not before it.
Fear in isolation is usually the mind, not the environment, doing the talking.
