Kindness starts with you.

In my new interview with the Investing in Kindness Project, I share something I’ve learned over decades:

People don’t know how to be kind to themselves, so they have trouble being kind to others.

Kindness isn’t something we “try.”

It’s something we practice — daily, gently, from the inside out.

Healing begins with that internal acceptance.

Thank you and .imre for making this interview possible.

The Neuroscience of Betrayal

Why you can’t focus, sleep, or relax — and how the ACE Study explains it.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Why all trauma is betrayal
• The real story behind the ACE Study
• Why survivors of abuse often gain weight back
• The 11th & 12th ACE questions you probably never heard
• Why your inner critic can’t be eliminated
• How “healthy” habits become coping tools
• The 3-step process for true healing
• Why awareness is only the bridge
• How to access your deeper inner wisdom

You’re not broken.
Your mind and body are protecting you.

Healing isn’t about deleting parts of yourself — it’s about integrating them.

BIOPSYCHOSOCIAL → The Future of Healing

Your body isn’t just physical.
Your health isn’t just medical.
Your stress isn’t “just stress.”

The ACE Study taught us something powerful:

👉 Unresolved stress becomes biology.
👉 Emotional wounds turn into physical symptoms.
👉 Safety and support (PCEs) protect the brain and body.

This is the biopsychosocial model —
not the old biomedical-only approach.

Healing happens when you address:
🧠 your mind
💛 your emotions
🤝 your relationships
⚡ your nervous system
🌱 your story

This is what enlightn helps you do.

✅ TIKTOK / REEL SCRIPT (High Impact, 30–45 seconds)

“Why Unresolved Stress Makes You Sick” — Dr. Brian Alman

(You on camera, warm, direct.)

“Here’s something most people don’t know:
Your body can heal — if you stop storing the stress that’s been stuck inside you for years.

The ACE Study showed us that emotional stress isn’t just emotional.
It literally changes your biology — your hormones, your inflammation levels, your sleep, your weight, your immune system.

That’s why the old biomedical model doesn’t work by itself.

You can’t just treat a symptom.
You have to understand the whole person — their biology, psychology, and life story.

This is the biopsychosocial model.
And when people finally address all three, they get better — mentally, emotionally, and physically.

That’s why we created enlightn.
To resolve stress instead of storing it.

JOY isn’t something you find “out there.”

JOY starts inside you — and you can activate it every day.

Spark of Joy 🎥Video included Below!

The JOY card from my True Sage Oracle Deck is all about re-awakening the energy you were born with:

💛 Gratitude:
Even tiny moments — sunlight, a breath, a smile — expand joy.

💛 Presence:
Joy lives in the now.
When you slow down enough to notice what’s here, joy shows up.

💛 Connection:
With others. With life. And most importantly, with yourself.

Here’s a short visualization to bring more JOY into your day right now:

People can heal.
Pets can heal.
And often… the path looks surprisingly similar.

Humans carry scars from:
✅ abuse
✅ neglect
✅ foster care
✅ homelessness
✅ abandonment
✅ childhood trauma (ACEs)

Pets carry scars from:
🐾 shelters
🐾 abandonment
🐾 unsafe homes
🐾 loss and instability
🐾 chronic stress

Even when they can’t speak, their behavior is the story.

Humans show trauma through:
✨ tone, body language
✨ shutting down
✨ trust issues
✨ ACE/PCE patterns

Pets show trauma through:
🐾 hiding
🐾 shaking
🐾 slow trust
🐾 separation anxiety

What heals both?

✅ Safe interactions
✅ Predictable routines
✅ Respecting boundaries
✅ Letting them approach
✅ Nervous system calm
✅ Understanding their past
✅ Compassion without pressure

Healing takes time. But healing happens — for every species.

Teen Substance Use in 2025 looks different than ever before.

✅ Fewer teens are experimenting
❌ But overdoses are rising
❌ Counterfeit pills are everywhere
❌ Vapes + pouches hit harder than ci******es
❌ Teens are self-medicating stress + anxiety

Here’s what the ACE Study shows:

🔺 ACEs + family history = higher risk
💛 PCEs (supportive adults + routines) = protection

This is why Dr. Vincent Felitti & I built enlightn™ —
to help teens + parents:

• Understand ACE–PCE patterns
• Reduce stress at the root
• Strengthen resilience
• Replace self-medication with healthy coping

Take the ACE + PCE Assessments (12 questions each).

You are your own best parent.

Want to improve every relationship in your life?
Start with the one you have with yourself.

Self-parenting is how you:

Listen without judging

Encourage instead of criticize

🌤 Repair instead of replay old stories

Create daily Positive Experiences

When you love yourself like a caring parent, you grow calmer, stronger, more connected — and everyone around you feels it.

You don’t need a perfect past to create a peaceful present.
You just need daily compassion, curiosity, and care.

That’s what we teach through True Sage + the enlightn™ app — helping you heal from the inside out, one gentle moment at a time.

Because when you nurture yourself… every other relationship blossoms too.

💛 Honored and grateful.

Why California’s Surgeon General Is Paying Attention to This Mind-Body Healing and ACE with PCE App

The Office of the California Surgeon General, led by Dr. Diana Ramos, has formally recognized our work on enlightn.me — the healing platform Dr. Vincent Felitti and I created to turn decades of ACE and trauma science into practical, daily support for real people.

This acknowledgment means so much because it reflects a shared vision: a California (and a world) where trauma-informed, healing-centered care is available to everyone.

From the ACE Study to the enlightn app — healing begins with understanding, and continues with action.

Healing All Communities 💚

ACEs (Adverse Childhood Experiences) don’t affect everyone equally.

Studies show higher ACE rates among:

✨ American Indian/Alaska Native & multiracial adults

✨ People with lower income or education

✨ LGBTQ+ individuals

✨ Rural families

✨ Women (especially emotional & sexual abuse)

But here’s the hope 👉

With the enlightn™ app and True Sage programs, you can:

💫 Uncover your ACE & PCE patterns

💫 Heal emotional wounds

💫 Build resilience & self-acceptance

Let’s close the gap—so healing truly reaches every community. ACEs

Prevention that Lasts a Lifetime

Schools have a choices to start early — and when schools, parents, and communities work together, kids grow up knowing they belong, matter, and can handle stress.

That’s why Dr. Vincent Felitti (ACE Study founder) and Dr. Brian Alman created Less Stress for Kids and the enlightn™ app — tools that teach children self-awareness, confidence, and calm.

✨ From ACEs ➜ to PCEs ➜ to lifelong resilience.
