Amanda Landes
I'm Almost Okay: Navigating the Grief of Parental Loss, Miscarriage, and Divorce
I am a licensed psychologist who has worked in private practice and forensic settings. I believe I have a unique perspective to share with listeners based upon my personal and professional experiences. I am an expert in hard through work and through home, and I have come to believe that both parts are necessary to understand others. I am humble, quirky, and do not take myself too seriously, which I have been told makes me approachable and easy to talk to. I like to share my thoughts on human behavior in a funny and palatable way. I love to share a good metaphor or TV show reference to help illustrate my points.

Karina Pen Name K. K. Biernath
It is never too late to rediscover yourself and become the person you were always meant to be!
Karina, who writes under the pen name K. K. Biernath, is a Polish-born author, poet, and speaker whose work focuses on vulnerability, courage, and the inner and landscapes of women's lives. Now living in Pennsylvania, she draws inspiration from her personal journey—including
motherhood and raising children with special needs.
She recently published her first book, a memoir, Karina: One Woman's Journey from Fear to Freedom.
She wrote this book with her children in mind, to tell them, and others, through the book and her words, that anything is possible in life.
You can be whoever you want to be.
Do whatever you want to do.
Live however and wherever you want to.
She lived a life she thought she was supposed to. Career, marriage, family, and success—but inside, she was lost.
Her body began to break down, and that was the wake-up call she couldn’t ignore. She then came to realize that her very own thoughts were making her sick. And if her thoughts could make her ill, then maybe her thoughts could also help her heal.

Garrett Wood
Garrett Wood, NBC-HWC, is a clinical hypnotherapist and executive functioning specialist helping high-achievers turn burnout into breakthrough with his A³ Framework for sustainable success.
Early in my career, I fell into the same trap as so many high performers — pouring everything into output, measuring worth by achievement, and ignoring the body’s warnings.
I watched bright colleagues grow cynical, disconnected, and lost to exhaustion — and felt those same patterns in my own life.
Then one tragic loss shattered the illusion of “success at any cost,” revealing the truth: when self-worth is tied to achievement alone, it can strip away your health, your relationships, and even your life.
That moment ignited my mission — because no one should have to lose their life, health, wealth, or relationships in the pursuit of success.
Sustainable success is built through your well-being — not at its expense.
Because success isn’t real if it costs your health, your relationships, or your peace of mind.
Burnout isn’t about your calendar, your inbox, or your to-do list. It’s about a mismatch between what your nervous system needs and what your environment demands.
The bigger the gap, the sooner you burn out. My A³ Framework — Assess, Accommodate, Align — gives high-achievers a nervous-system-first approach to sustainable success.
I am a National Board–Certified Health and Wellness Coach, clinical hypnotherapist, executive functioning specialist and founder of Gnosis Therapy. For nearly two decades, I've helped high-achieving, high-masking professionals turn burnout into breakthroughs using outcome based coaching, clinical hypnotherapy and somatic regulation.

Brian Van Korn
Healthcareless" One man's triumphant journey thru a fractured healthcare system.
Hello
I am seeking out concerned podcasters who are deeply concerned about the current state of the healthcare system. It feels like we are increasingly becoming a bottom-line-driven system, where patients and medical personnel are seen as nothing more than (Profit Generating Units).
My own experience is a testament to this. I went to the hospital in excruciating pain, only to be dismissed by an exhausted doctor who labeled me a drug addict. Despite my deteriorating condition, I was discharged twice, and even forced to stand, resulting in me crashing to the Emergency Room floor. That was just one of the many brutal trials I faced in my 5 months in the hospital.
This experience left me questioning what causes a doctor, who has dedicated their life to healing, to turn into someone who causes harm. The answer, I believe, lies in the pressures of the profit-driven system. Doctors and medical personnel are overworked and exhausted, leading to clouded judgment and a focus on efficiency over patient care.
I am sharing my story because I don't want anyone else to experience the full brunt force of what I call the "Healthcareless" system. I look to change this system through awareness and education. To provide life saving knowledge on how to navigate the Healthcareless system and advocate for themselves.
