   Medical Gaslighting, Lyme & Learning to Trust Yourself with Mauryah Burattini | EP40

   What if the symptoms you’ve been told to ignore are actually your body begging you to listen? In this week’s episode of Becoming Unbound, I sit down with Mauryah Burattini for a powerful conversation about chronic illness, Lyme disease, medical gaslighting, critical thinking, and learning how to truly advocate for your own health. Mariah opens up about being sick since childhood, the moment she realized the medical system wasn’t giving her the full picture, and how that led her into a deep journey of holistic healing. We talk about intuition, toxins, mold, nervous system regulation, foundational wellness, and why healing often starts with tiny, intentional choices. This episode is such an eye-opening reminder that you are allowed to question, to dig deeper, and to take your health back into your own hands. _____________________________________ Episode Highlights: critical thinking, Lyme disease, medical gaslighting, holistic healing, nervous system regulation, intuition, toxins and mold, foundational wellness, healthy home building, self-advocacy Topics Discussed Learning how to think for yourself after traditional education Being dismissed by doctors despite very real symptoms The emotional toll of medical gaslighting How toxins, mold, food, light, and stress impact the body Why healing starts with foundational daily habits Building a healthy home and creating an environment that supports wellness _____________________________________ LINKS & RESOURCES Mauryah’s Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/mauryah.jane/ (https://www.instagram.com/mauryah.jane/) _____________________________________ ✨ If this episode lit a fire in you, don’t forget to hit subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your freedom-loving bestie. _____________________________________ STAY CONNECTED Follow on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/carleybutlermedia/ (https://www.instagram.com/carleybutlermedia/) Subscribe on Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/@CarleyButlerMedia (https://www.youtube.com/@CarleyButlerMedia) Follow on Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565606876083 (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565606876083) Join the Unbound Collective Newsletter | http://eepurl.com/iYOOx2 (http://eepurl.com/iYOOx2) _____________________________________ Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:08 Meeting Mariah + Her Story 02:05 Learning to Think for Yourself 05:16 Chronic Illness in University 07:30 The Lyme Disease Diagnosis 08:21 Losing Trust in the Medical System 11:37 Listening to Your Body Again 16:24 The “Toxin Bucket” Explanation 21:50 Foundational Health Habits 25:33 Searching for Root Cause 31:57 Dealing with Doubt from Others 36:52 Building a Healthy Home 43:29 Small Steps Toward Better Health 47:38 Mindset and Healing 48:17 Where to Find Mariah

   Are You Living Someone Else’s Script? with Adam Guzman-Poole | EP 39

   In this week’s episode of Becoming Unbound, I sit down with Adam for a powerful conversation about breaking free from life scripts, trusting your inner knowing, and choosing the path that is actually yours. Adam shares his wild journey from an apprenticeship with traditional medicine people in the Amazon rainforest to taking a more “conventional” route into psychology, and why freedom is an inside job before it’s ever an outside one. We talk about the messy liminal space between who you were and who you’re becoming, how to build a real relationship with yourself, and why one minute of stillness can change everything. _____________________________________ Episode Highlights: heart vs head, inner whispers, breaking life scripts, liminal space, identity death and rebirth, self-love as an investment, meditation in micro doses, journaling for clarity, nature as a nervous system reset, freedom as an inner game Topics Discussed The “war” between certainty and inner truth Liminal space and the discomfort of becoming Self-love as the foundation for healthy relationships and purpose Why giving from depletion leads to burnout Meditation, journaling, and nature as practical tools for clarity Freedom as inner peace regardless of external circumstances _____________________________________ LINKS & RESOURCES Adam’s Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/adam.purpose/ (https://www.instagram.com/adam.purpose/) Adam’s Website | https://lessonsonlove.org/love-infusion (https://lessonsonlove.org/love-infusion) Adam’s LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-guzman-poole/ (https://www.linkedin.com/in/adam-guzman-poole/) Purpose Guide | https://www.purposeguide.org/ (https://www.purposeguide.org/) _____________________________________ ✨ If this episode lit a fire in you, don’t forget to hit subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your freedom-loving bestie. _____________________________________ STAY CONNECTED Follow on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/carleybutlermedia/ (https://www.instagram.com/carleybutlermedia/) Subscribe on Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/@CarleyButlerMedia (https://www.youtube.com/@CarleyButlerMedia) Follow on Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565606876083 (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565606876083) Join the Unbound Collective Newsletter | http://eepurl.com/iYOOx2 (http://eepurl.com/iYOOx2) _____________________________________ Your podcast deserves more than guesswork and late-night edits.

   We’re Numbing Ourselves and Calling It Normal with Luciana Santaguida | EP 38

   What if your next “best night ever” didn’t include alcohol… and you still left feeling HIGH on life? In this week’s episode of Becoming Unbound, I sit down with Luciana Santaguida for a powerful conversation about sober-curious spaces, music as medicine, and what it really means to create community with intention. We talk about why so many festivals and concerts normalize disconnection, and how Luciana is flipping the script with consciously curated events like Sunflower Garden Fest in Toronto. She shares her personal journey of walking away from partying after vocal nodules forced her to heal, and how purpose (and faith) became the catalyst for everything she’s built. If you’ve been feeling called to change your habits, find your people, or take a leap you can’t stop thinking about… this one will hit. _____________________________________ Episode Highlights: sober curious festivals, alcohol-free community, music as medicine, energetic curation, conscious concerts, dancing without disassociation, purpose as a turning point, vocal healing journey, faith over fear, building quietly and leading boldly Topics Discussed Creating alcohol-free spaces that still feel electric and fun How music shifts your nervous system and your vibration The discomfort of trying something new without “social lubricant” Losing friends when you choose your purpose and healing Building in silence and protecting your vision from doubt Faith, surrender, and taking action with no plan B _____________________________________ LINKS & RESOURCES Luciana’s Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/lucianawithlove/ (https://www.instagram.com/lucianawithlove/) Luciana’s Website | https://www.lucianawithlove.com/ (https://www.lucianawithlove.com/) www.sunflowergardenfestival.com (http://www.sunflowergardenfestival.com) _____________________________________ ✨ If this episode lit a fire in you, don’t forget to hit subscribe, leave a review, and share it with your freedom-loving bestie. _____________________________________ STAY CONNECTED Follow on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/carleybutlermedia/ (https://www.instagram.com/carleybutlermedia/) Subscribe on Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/@CarleyButlerMedia (https://www.youtube.com/@CarleyButlerMedia) Follow on Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565606876083 (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61565606876083) Join the Unbound Collective Newsletter | http://eepurl.com/iYOOx2 (http://eepurl.com/iYOOx2) _____________________________________ Your podcast deserves more than guesswork and late-night edits.
