Episode 40-Unlocking the Power of Myofunctional Therapy: Holistic Healing with Erin Browning

Have you ever felt like life's transitions could actually be the key to a more unified, whole version of yourself? Angie Shockley and I, Dave Gold, are back with the podcast that dives deep into the heart of exceptional parenting and the extraordinary challenges that come with it. We're peeling back the layers of our own life stories, revealing how Angie's blend of professional skills and shamanic practices, alongside my unique insights, have created a tapestry of healing and transformation that we're thrilled to share with you.

This episode isn't just about our revelations, though; it's about you embracing your own story with self-acceptance and love. Together, we unravel the thorny barriers that hold us back and celebrate the innate strengths within us all. As Angie shares her wisdom on guiding others to their best selves and I bring forth the mutual learning that blooms from these encounters, we hope to inspire a profound shift in how you perceive perfection within yourself and others. It's a heartfelt exchange that promises to enrich your personal and professional relationships.

As we wind down our conversation, we confront the liberating power of surrender and acceptance. By pausing amidst life's dramas, we've both discovered a tranquility that leads to trust in something greater than ourselves, paving the way for a journey aligned with authenticity. No episode would be complete without acknowledging the support system that's been our backbone – the mutual gratitude between Angie and me, and the excitement for our upcoming guests. It's all here, in a shared space where discussion, growth, and gratitude collide, guiding us toward navigating this extraordinary life together.
