<p>What happens when the thing you're most afraid to share is the very thing someone else needs to hear?</p><p>In this powerful conversation, Jillian and Meg welcome nurse coach, writer, feminine biohacker, and storyteller Rachel Plonka to the podcast. Together, they explore the connection between healing, self-expression, nervous system regulation, and the courage it takes to be truly seen.</p><p>Rachel shares her journey of helping people heal through writing and storytelling, and how that work ultimately led her to create The BioHacker's Blueprint, a program focused on nervous system regulation and how to access what she calls our "inner pharmacy." Through science, spirituality, and personal experience, she explains why so many people feel called to share their voice, tell their story, or step into something bigger, yet find themselves held back by fear, perfectionism, and nervous system resistance.</p><p>The conversation weaves through meditation, HeartMath, emotional healing, parenting, leadership, self-expression, and the responsibility that can come with stepping into authorship, authority, and purpose.</p><p>What begins as an interview evolves into a deeply personal conversation about healing old relationships with authority, trusting the process, and recognizing that growth is often less about arriving and more about continuing to show up.</p><p>Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that your voice matters, your story matters, and the world may need exactly what only you can offer.</p><p></p><h2><strong>What we explore in this episode:</strong></h2><ul><li>Finding and trusting your authentic voice</li><li>Why nervous system regulation impacts self-expression</li><li>The connection between healing and visibility</li><li>HeartMath and the science of coherence</li><li>Why resistance often appears when we need healing most</li><li>Learning to orient toward positive emotions</li><li>The difference between perfection and practice</li><li>Understanding emotional highs and lows as part of growth</li><li>How healing happens through repetition and consistency</li><li>The concept of compound growth in personal development</li><li>Parenting with emotional intelligence and awareness</li><li>Leadership, authority, and egalitarian relationships</li><li>The responsibility that comes with authorship and influence</li><li>Rewriting old stories around power and authority</li><li>Why the world needs your story and your voice</li></ul><br/><p><strong>We Would Love to Connect With You</strong></p><p>Your reflections, questions, and lived experiences mean so much to us.</p><p>If this episode resonates, please share it, leave a review, or reach out.</p><p><strong>Connect with Jillian</strong></p><p>Website:<u><a href="https://trellissuite.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://trellissuite.com/</a></u></p><p>LinkedIn:<u><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillian-pezet-trellis/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillian-pezet-trellis/</a></u></p><p>Email: <u><a href="mailto:jillianp@trellissuite.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jillianp@trellissuite.com</a></u></p><p>See what Jillian is building!! www.linkedin.com/company/trellissuite</p><p></p><p><strong>Connect with Meg</strong></p><p>Website:<u><a href="http://www.profoundwellness.net" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> www.profoundwellness.net</a></u></p><p>Email: <u><a href="mailto:meg@profoundwellness.net" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">meg@profoundwellness.net</a></u></p><p>Facebook: <u><a href="http://facebook.com/megan.fikse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">facebook.com/megan.fikse</a></u></p><p>Instagram: <u><a href="http://instagram.com/m.laidlaw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">instagram.com/m.laidlaw</a></u></p><p></p><p><strong>Connect with Rachel:</strong></p><p>Website: www.thecoherencestudio.co</p><p>Email: rachel@thecoherencestudio.co</p><p>Facebook: www.facebook.com/RachelDickPlonka</p><p>Instagram: www.instagram.com/nursecoachrachel/</p><p></p><p><strong>Meg’s Offerings</strong></p><ul><li>Heart Math BioFeedback Device: <u><a href="https://www.heartmath.com/coachmeg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.heartmath.com/coachmeg</a></u></li><li>Self Mastery Program: <u><a href="https://www.profoundwellness.net/self-mastery-program" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.profoundwellness.net/self-mastery-program</a></u></li><li>Bold Beautiful Life Membership: <u><a href="https://www.profoundwellness.net/membership" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.profoundwellness.net/membership</a></u></li></ul><br/><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Outro Dyn AD</strong></p>

<p>What if the life you're chasing isn't somewhere in the future?</p><p>What if parts of it already exist right in front of you?</p><p>In this heartfelt conversation, Jillian and Meg explore the power of noticing the everyday blessings, opportunities, and experiences that often get overlooked while we're focused on what's next.</p><p>Jillian reflects on the dramatic shift her family has experienced while building Trellis and navigating a season of financial uncertainty. What initially felt like loss has become an unexpected invitation to appreciate things she once took for granted. A full tank of gas. A stocked refrigerator. Time with family. The simple gift of enough.</p><p>Meg shares stories from her own life that illustrate how easy it is to postpone joy until the next milestone, the next purchase, the next achievement, or the next version of life. Together, they challenge the assumption that fulfillment always exists somewhere ahead of us.</p><p>The conversation explores gratitude, abundance, financial stress, nervous system safety, perspective, and the practice of noticing what Meg calls "micro-miracles" throughout everyday life.</p><p>Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that while growth and ambition have their place, a meaningful life is often built by appreciating what already exists rather than constantly chasing what comes next.</p><h2><strong>What we explore in this episode:</strong></h2><ul><li>The difference between appreciation and achievement</li><li>Why we often postpone joy until the next milestone</li><li>Finding abundance during challenging seasons</li><li>The concept of "micro-miracles"</li><li>How perspective changes everyday experiences</li><li>Gratitude as a practice rather than a feeling</li><li>The relationship between financial stress and safety</li><li>Appreciating what you already have</li><li>Why the brain naturally focuses on what's missing</li><li>Rewiring default patterns toward gratitude</li><li>Finding fulfillment in ordinary moments</li><li>The difference between "I have to" and "I get to"</li><li>Building a gratitude practice that feels accessible</li><li>Creating internal safety regardless of external circumstances</li><li>Recognizing that many of today's realities were once yesterday's dreams</li></ul><br/><p><strong>We Would Love to Connect With You</strong></p><p>Your reflections, questions, and lived experiences mean so much to us.</p><p>If this episode resonates, please share it, leave a review, or reach out.</p><p><strong>Connect with Jillian</strong></p><p>Website:<u><a href="https://trellissuite.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://trellissuite.com/</a></u></p><p>LinkedIn:<u><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillian-pezet-trellis/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillian-pezet-trellis/</a></u></p><p>Email: <u><a href="mailto:jillianp@trellissuite.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jillianp@trellissuite.com</a></u></p><p>See what Jillian is building!! www.linkedin.com/company/trellissuite</p><p><strong>Connect with Meg</strong></p><p>Website:<u><a href="http://www.profoundwellness.net" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> www.profoundwellness.net</a></u></p><p>Email: <u><a href="mailto:meg@profoundwellness.net" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">meg@profoundwellness.net</a></u></p><p>Facebook: <u><a href="http://facebook.com/megan.fikse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">facebook.com/megan.fikse</a></u></p><p>Instagram: <u><a href="http://instagram.com/m.laidlaw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">instagram.com/m.laidlaw</a></u></p><p><strong>Meg’s Offerings</strong></p><ul><li>Heart Math BioFeedback Device: </li><li><u><a href="https://www.heartmath.com/coachmeg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.heartmath.com/coachmeg</a></u></li><li>Self Mastery Program:</li><li><u><a href="https://www.profoundwellness.net/self-mastery-program" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.profoundwellness.net/self-mastery-program</a></u></li><li>Bold Beautiful Life Membership:</li><li><u><a href="https://www.profoundwellness.net/membership" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.profoundwellness.net/membership</a></u></li></ul><br/><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Outro Dyn AD</strong></p>

<p>What if two people can experience the exact same moment and walk away with completely different realities?</p><p>In this thoughtful conversation, Jillian and Meg explore the invisible lens through which we experience our lives. The stories, assumptions, conditioning, and patterns that quietly shape how we interpret the world around us.</p><p>Drawing from Jillian’s doctoral studies and their own personal experiences, they unpack the idea that reality is not simply what happens to us. It is also how we perceive, interpret, and respond to what happens.</p><p>Together, they explore the difference between intentional living and living from default patterns. They discuss how our brains are constantly scanning for meaning, creating stories, and reinforcing beliefs, often without our awareness.</p><p>The conversation moves through mindset, personal responsibility, presence, nervous system conditioning, and the power of slowing down long enough to question the stories we automatically tell ourselves.</p><p>Rather than advocating for toxic positivity, they invite listeners to become more conscious of the lens they are choosing and how small shifts in perspective can completely transform daily life.</p><p>Ultimately, this episode is a reminder that while we cannot control everything that happens around us, we do have influence over the lens through which we experience it.</p><h2><strong>What we explore in this episode:</strong></h2><ul><li>The concept of the lens we view life through</li><li>How interpretation shapes our experience of reality</li><li>The difference between default thinking and intentional thinking</li><li>Why two people can experience the same situation differently</li><li>Challenging assumptions, conditioning, and automatic stories</li><li>The difference between perspective shifts and toxic positivity</li><li>Taking ownership of your internal experience</li><li>Giving people the benefit of the doubt</li><li>Victimhood versus personal agency</li><li>How slowing down changes perception</li><li>The connection between presence and perspective</li><li>Using the five senses to become more present</li><li>Small mindset shifts that create major life changes</li><li>Building new patterns and neural pathways</li><li>Why slowing down can actually create more sustainable speed</li></ul><br/><p><strong>We Would Love to Connect With You</strong></p><p>Your reflections, questions, and lived experiences mean so much to us.</p><p>If this episode resonates, please share it, leave a review, or reach out.</p><p><strong>Connect with Jillian</strong></p><p>Website:<u><a href="https://trellissuite.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://trellissuite.com/</a></u></p><p>LinkedIn:<u><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillian-pezet-trellis/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> https://www.linkedin.com/in/jillian-pezet-trellis/</a></u></p><p>Email: <u><a href="mailto:jillianp@trellissuite.com" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">jillianp@trellissuite.com</a></u></p><p>See what Jillian is building!! <u><a href="http://www.linkedin.com/company/trellissuite" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.linkedin.com/company/trellissuite</a></u></p><p>The book Jillian referenced: You Are Here by Thich Nhat Hanh</p><p><strong>Connect with Meg</strong></p><p>Website:<u><a href="http://www.profoundwellness.net" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"> www.profoundwellness.net</a></u></p><p>Email: <u><a href="mailto:meg@profoundwellness.net" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">meg@profoundwellness.net</a></u></p><p>Facebook: <u><a href="http://facebook.com/megan.fikse" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">facebook.com/megan.fikse</a></u></p><p>Instagram: <u><a href="http://instagram.com/m.laidlaw" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">instagram.com/m.laidlaw</a></u></p><p><strong>Meg’s Offerings</strong></p><ul><li>Heart Math BioFeedback Device:</li><li><u><a href="https://www.heartmath.com/coachmeg" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.heartmath.com/coachmeg</a></u></li><li>Self Mastery Program:</li><li><u><a href="https://www.profoundwellness.net/self-mastery-program" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.profoundwellness.net/self-mastery-program</a></u></li><li>Bold Beautiful Life Membership:</li><li><u><a href="https://www.profoundwellness.net/membership" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.profoundwellness.net/membership</a></u></li></ul><br/><p>Mentioned in this episode:</p><p><strong>Outro Dyn AD</strong></p>
