Hosted by Myrna Young, a life coach and trauma recovery expert, Transform your Mind moves beyond simple self-help tips to examine the profound connection between our psychological patterns and our physical health. This podcast operates on a core idea: that our thoughts and emotional histories are not just abstract experiences, but active forces that directly influence our biology, how we age, and our overall vitality. You’ll hear conversations that make the science of well-being accessible, focusing on practical areas like nervous system regulation and the process of emotional healing. Episodes often delve into specific topics such as epigenetics-how our behaviors and environment can affect gene expression-and the nuanced journey of addiction recovery. The dialogue here is about integrating mental, emotional, and physical fitness to foster a more resilient life. By tuning in, you gain insights into how unresolved trauma and daily stress manifest in the body, and more importantly, what you can do about it. Myrna’s approach, whether in solo reflections or interviews with specialists, provides a grounded path toward understanding that lasting wellness is built from the inside out, making this a unique resource for anyone invested in their long-term health.
