What Peaceful Warrior Gets RIGHT About Surrender, Self-Trust & Inner Peace (Movies That Heal)
Welcome back to the new segment of Be Your Own Healer: Movies That Heal!!! This is where I take iconic films and decode the healing lessons hidden in plain sight.
This week, we're exploring Peaceful Warrior—a powerful story about ego, injury, and awakening to a deeper truth.
On the surface, it’s about a gymnast whose career is nearly destroyed by an accident. But at its core, it’s about learning to surrender control, trust your inner guidance, and find peace in the present moment—even when life doesn’t go to plan.
In this episode, I break down:
The moment that cracked open his nervous system (and why it mirrors so many of our own)
How chasing performance can disconnect you from your body
What true surrender actually looks like (it’s not giving up—it's waking up)
Why presence is more powerful than perfection
How the “everyday” can become sacred when you drop into stillness
Whether you’re navigating illness, burnout, uncertainty, or a major life transition, Peaceful Warrior offers a mirror—and this conversation will guide you to see yourself more clearly in it.
Let this be your invitation to slow down, tune in, and trust the path within.

40 Years of Pain, Panic, and Control: Here’s How She Let Go (MindBody Miracles)
Welcome back to MindBody Miracles, our special limited series inside the Be Your Own Healer podcast. This series highlights real healing stories from those who’ve worked directly with Dr. Kim—and what becomes possible when you stop fixing and start listening to your body.
In today’s episode, we meet Sarah, who spent over 40 years living with Crohn’s disease and was recently navigating a recurrence of cancer. She was stuck in cycles of control, anxiety, and “doing all the right things,” but still felt like her body was betraying her. That’s when she chose to do something radically different: listen instead of force, soften instead of fix—and everything changed.
You’ll hear how Sarah:
✅ Let go of years of fear, pressure, and survival mode
✅ Stopped gripping for healing—and started receiving it
✅ Shifted from control into trust and spontaneous joy
✅ Reclaimed her energy, vitality, and deep self-connection
✅ Found more freedom in months than she had in decades
Her story is a powerful reminder: healing doesn’t come from doing more. It comes from letting go—and letting your body lead.

She Looked Fine But Her Body Was in Fight-or-Flight: The Shift That Changed Everything
Welcome back to MindBody Miracles, our special limited series inside the Be Your Own Healer podcast. This series highlights real healing stories from those who’ve worked directly with Dr. Kim—and what becomes possible when you stop fixing and start listening to your body.
In this episode, we meet Kristine, who didn’t come into the work with a major diagnosis—but felt stuck, overwhelmed, and disconnected from herself. She’d spent years doing the “spiritual work,” but life was still running her. After a year of profound loss, family rupture, and emotional upheaval, Kristine realized what she truly needed was a nervous system reset.
You’ll hear how Kristine:
✅ Broke free from chronic control, people-pleasing, and emotional shutdown
✅ Released the rescuer identity and began honoring her own needs
✅ Learned to regulate without spiraling back into old trauma
✅ Finally integrated years of spiritual growth into real embodiment
✅ Found peace, resilience, and clarity—even in the unknown
Her story is a reminder that you don’t need to hit rock bottom to heal—you just need to stop outsourcing your power and come back to your body.
