The A–Z of Healing: 26 Ways Your Story Can Change Your Health with Megan Timmins

In this powerful conversation, Julie Ann and guest co-creator Megan announce their new collaborative book project: The A to Z of Healing—a collection of real-life stories from people who chose a different path with their health.Megan brings 20 years of experience as a nurse inside the Western medical system, and shares how her own arthritis diagnosis during the pandemic became a turning point. Faced with the offer of methotrexate (a chemo-adjacent drug that wipes out the immune system), she drew a hard line and said, “No—that’s not an option.” That decision led her to naturopathic support, supplements, brain retraining, and a completely different relationship with her body.Julie Ann shares how she was told she would never walk without radical spinal surgery—removing vertebrae and inserting rods—and how one Feldenkrais session opened a completely new healing trajectory. From there, she reframed what’s possible when we lean into stories, not just statistics.Together, they explore healing modalities like Feldenkrais, Reiki, plant medicine, hypnosis, timeline therapy, nutrition, movement, and the power of imagination—and why informed choice must mean more than a single pill or protocol.This episode is also a call for contributors: if you have healed (or are actively healing) through a “non-standard” approach, they want to hear your story for The A to Z of Healing collaborative book.In This Episode, You’ll Hear About<ul><li>How the A–Z of Healing collaborative book was born and why it may become multiple volumes</li><li>Megan’s journey from ICU nurse to integrative healing advocate after saying no to methotrexate</li><li>Julie Ann’s scoliosis/spine story and how Feldenkrais helped her avoid major surgery</li><li>Real-life examples of people healing with modalities like Reiki, hypnosis, plant medicine, and timeline therapy</li><li>Why nutrition, movement, and brain health are foundational “fuels” for the body</li><li>The story of their friend with MS who challenged her prognosis through intense strength training</li><li>How imagination and a “perfect day” visualization helped a patient go from lying flat to sitting up after weeks</li><li>A heartfelt invitation for listeners to share their own healing stories and join the book project</li></ul> 6 Key Takeaways<ul><li>Stories expand what we think is possible: Hearing real people’s healing journeys—like Julie Ann avoiding spinal surgery or Megan navigating arthritis without chemo-adjacent drugs—opens portals in our minds: if they did it, maybe I can too.</li><li>“That’s not an option” is a powerful turning point: Both Julie Ann and Megan reached a moment where the proposed medical solution felt impossible for their lives. Saying “no” became the doorway to exploring other modalities and reclaiming agency over their bodies.</li><li>Healing is bigger than one system or one pill: This is not an anti–Western medicine conversation; it’s a pro-full-picture conversation. Surgery, pharmaceuticals, and hospitals can save lives, and they are not the only tools available for healing.</li><li>Your body is a high-performance vehicle—fuel and use it accordingly: Anti-inflammatory foods, supplements like turmeric and ginger, regular movement, and brain engagement (not just zoning out in front of a screen) all signal to the body that it’s worth maintaining at a high level.</li><li>The brain is a healing partner, not just a bystander: From a patient who could suddenly sit up after visualizing her perfect day, to people refusing to be defined by their diagnosis, this episode underscores how belief, imagination, and intention influence the body’s healing trajectory.</li><li>The A–Z of Healing is a collaborative map, not a prescription: The upcoming book will feature only modalities that Megan and Julie Ann (or their...

Soul Mapping: Tracing the Stories That Shape Who You Are

In this solo episode, Julie Ann invites you on a journey of soul mapping—a transformative process she has developed over 15 years of guiding authors and visionaries to uncover the deeper meaning behind their life stories. Through reflective storytelling and personal examples from her seven “lifetimes” and travels around the world, Julie Ann explores how our environments, beliefs, and life experiences shape who we become.She explains how to use simple tools—like colored pens and large sheets of paper—to access the wisdom of your soul, not just your mind. Whether you’re beginning a memoir or seeking clarity on your life’s purpose, this episode offers a soulful practice for reconnecting with your truth and transforming your story into a portal of purpose.Key Takeaways<ol><li>Soul Mapping is more than reflection—it’s reclamation: It’s a process of revisiting your life events not just to remember them, but to reclaim how they shaped your values, beliefs, and soul essence.</li><li>Our beliefs begin as borrowed: As children, we inherit beliefs from family, culture, and environment. True awakening happens when we explore which ones are ours and which ones are inherited.</li><li>Travel is the fastest teacher of perspective: Stepping outside your original environment allows you to form your own value system and see how others live, love, and define meaning.</li><li>The tools are simple—but sacred: Large white paper, colorful pens, and quiet time create space for both sides of your brain to collaborate—the logical mind and the intuitive soul.</li><li>Your emotions are your compass: Soul mapping invites you to ask: How did this event make me feel?—so you can discern what experiences truly shaped your inner truth.</li><li>Your story is your portal: Each mapped experience becomes a doorway to your purpose. When you connect the dots, you reveal the map your soul has been quietly drawing all along.</li></ol> Meet the Host: Julie AnnJulie Ann is a publishing oracle and storytelling midwife who helps soul-led leaders birth books that awaken, heal, and transform.With over 17 years in the publishing industry, she has guided more than 300 authors to write and publish nonfiction works that shift paradigms and reclaim truth.
