Retired US Navy SEAL, Best-selling author, and holistic wellness pioneer Christopher Lee Maher is regarded as the unparalleled authority in stress resolution, healing, personal evolution, and longevity. His journey mirrors the tenacity of many elite athletes, initially grappling with intermittent joint discomfort that swiftly evolved into a symphony of pain—touching every joint, from feet to lower back and neck. He was headed for the precipice of a full-fledged hip replacement. This extreme stress caused Christopher's hearing to wane, and his vision to dim, compelling him to read lips for communication.

Amidst unyielding adversity, Christopher dedicated himself to seeking out the answers that would help alleviate his discomfort. His self-healing journey began with the Pacific College of Oriental Medicine and Yo San University, where the tapestry of Traditional Chinese Medical Practices interwove with Western science and pathology. After a transformative decade under the tutelage of Grand Master Mantak Chia at Thailand's Universal Tao Master School, Christopher realized the power of what he had learned and made it his mission to guide others through the fog of accumulated stress in their lives.

Christopher's profound wisdom birthed the holistic paradigm—True Body Intelligence technology—a fusion of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual enlightenment. His guidance garnered success in luminaries throughout sports, entertainment, commerce, medicine, and global diplomacy. Rooted in Los Angeles, CA, Christopher orchestrates metamorphosis from his sanctuary. His revolutionary methodology dissects pre-cognitive subconscious stress imprints, effecting instantaneous and lasting transformations of the physical and spiritual self and helps them transcend the original root causes of thier pain, trauma, and stress.

Today's podcast will bring you back to your heart and remind you of your innate goodness. Sarah Simon (aka the The Mint Gardener as she is known on Instagram) joins us to discuss self-worth, creating and navigating the inner critic. Sarah shares how getting let go from a corporate job and spraining her ankle was an invitation to tap back into her creativity, which changed her career trajectory. Sarah shares so much wisdom on how we can practice coming back to center when the inner critic gets loud or when our sense of self-worth is challenged. These insights can apply to us whether we are making art, preparing a slide deck, cooking dinner or writing a speech.

Testimonials about the Partner Review Process:

"I have experienced better communication, less resentment, deeper connection, deeper understanding of our needs and how we can show up for each other. There is more space to have fun and enjoy, instead of wondering what they're thinking/creating stories in head."

"In my relationship, I am the driver, the sharer, the one always making space and pushing. I often feel like I am too much and never know if im helping or doing harm. This tool and structure was soooo helpful for me, like a relief off of my shoulders to have. It gave us both the space to share. It has helped me stay relaxed, and to trust and just be."

"My husband and I really needed a tool and structure to communicate and connect on all of the categories in our wheel of life. I loved how interactive it was, and how it covered all of our topics. We are going to used it once a season!"

It's Mental Health Awareness month and today on the podcast I want to share two mindset and heartset practices you can do to help manage and improve your mental health. Our mental health is on a spectrum and what works for some people doesn't work for everyone. However, these two practices that I share are backed by science to demonstrate their power of helping us take control of our mind. When I start to feel my mental health feels out of whack, I come back to these practices.
