Alli Waddell stands for radical honesty, self-awareness, and self-love and believes that "Only when we heal ourselves can we heal the world." She has been recognized as an expert in the wellness industry for nearly two decades, empowering people to create and maintain healthy and happy lives. As a coach, speaker, and co-founder at Illumma, Austin's premier ketamine infusion clinic, Waddell is a lifeline of healing and holistic wellbeing.

“Everyone is put on this earth with a purpose and a mission, to express your light. But many times trauma and life circumstances can cause that light to dim, to be blocked out by fear, depression, and anxiety.”  At Illumma, Waddell helps people shine bright again. Patients rediscover, remember and reconnect with the amazing spirit that was previously just beyond their reach. Illumma provides tools for lifelong personal transformation.

In this episode we discuss:

• Science behind ketamine therapy
• How ketamine affects the brain/neuroplasticity
• How Ketamine can help PTSD, anxiety, depression, chronic pain, OCD, and bipolar disorder
• Ketamine and its uses for chronic pain
• What are the negative side effects of ketamine

In a week that can feel dark, we are working on rocking our LIGHT. In Amy's Rock Your Life, she talks about ketamine, finding our light, and how times of darkness can be the most important moments to go within and do the work to find our light and nurture it. The Interview is with Alli Waddell of Illumma Ketamine Infusion Clinic of Austin, and she speaks about her personal journey to mental health after depression, bulimia, and suicidal ideation, and how she has found her light and helps others find theirs. Go Aff Yourself with Jill Faulkner of stickwithit.co covers lightness in body and mind, and our aff this week is "I Step Into The Light." On Build Your Brand with Bijou Finney, we get into the very timely discussion of how businesses go through cycles of light and dark. BONUS content at the end: Austin360 Radio's interview with Alli to learn more about Illumma Clinic. More at amyedwards.com/blog.

Let's get CHARISMATIC this week! What even is charisma, anyway? Amy explores if we can really embrace learning things like charisma if we are weighed down by our thought loops, and she shares her latest foray into therapy. This week we are joined by Barron Cruz of The Charisma Matrix, a very popular YouTube charisma learning channel, and Barron gives us a few keys to the nuances of charisma and what we can do to enhance and improve our own. Go Aff Yourself with Jill Faulkner of stickwithit.co brings the aff "I Inspire Others" which makes Amy intensely uncomfortable. And Bijou and Amy build your brand by discussing the other aspects of charisma, including humor, high vibes, confidence, and how it all matters in life and in business. More at amyedwards.com/blog.
