In this episode of the Success S.H.I.F.T. Podcast, we have a profoundly moving and inspiring conversation with Jessie Torres, a certified master peak performance and transformation coach. Jessie's journey from trauma to triumph is a testament to the human spirit's resilience and capacity for transformation. Many people may be unable to heal from their trauma, believing that their suffering is unique. While it’s unlikely that we’ve all suffered every version of adversity, Jessie has definitely had more than her share. So, she understands what others have gone through who’ve experienced or witnessed sexual abuse, murder, suicide, physical abuse, depression, financial hardship, emotional abuse, and more. The truth often seems stranger than fiction, and Jessie’s story may seem more dramatic than a soap opera’s! I want to acknowledge Jessie's courage in sharing her story and the importance of vulnerability in healing. Jessie’s story highlights how vulnerability – even when it doesn't feel like strength in the moment – can lead to transformation and inspire others. In part two of this conversation, we will explore Jessie's current work and how she empowers others to transform their lives. ***Warning: this conversation contains graphic descriptions of trauma that might not be suitable for minors or anyone who might be triggered by these stories. Please exercise caution and take responsibility for your wellbeing in continuing to listen in.

In this episode of the Success S.H.I.F.T. Podcast, Dr. Irene interviews Victoria Rose, an authority in pre and perinatal psychology for health education. Victoria shares her insights on the profound impact that our early experiences in the womb can have on our beliefs, relationships, and overall well-being. She also discusses the use of “entheogenic” birth experiences, such as Ayahuasca ceremonies, to unlock repressed birth memories and facilitate healing and growth. Entheogenic substances are hallucinogens and psychedelics, like Ayahuasca, that are ingested to produce a nonordinary state of consciousness for religious or spiritual purposes. Disclaimer: This episode, like all of our topics, is designed to explore different perspectives and possibilities for improving our life success. This in no way represents the recommendations of the Success S.H.I.F.T. Institute. And we recognize the importance of keeping an open mind and dialogue for continuous learning. Key Takeaways Our cellular memory holds imprints of our past, and accessing these memories can provide invaluable insights into our present selves. Entheogenic birth experiences can be a powerful tool for healing and growth, but it is important to approach them with caution and respect. The ancient traditions from which these sacred medicines originate should be honored, and individuals should seek guidance from experienced and genuine practitioners. Understanding and healing our birth imprints can have a profound impact on our ability to thrive and find true success in life. Victoria Rose had a near-death experience at the age of 21, which led her on a spiritual journey. This experience made her realize the importance of birth and the need for a conscious and connected approach to welcoming new life. She witnessed the impact of Ayahuasca and other entheogenic substances on individuals and recognized that these experiences often trigger the re-experiencing of birth trauma. There is a shadow side to the world of Ayahuasca, and it's crucial to approach it with caution. It's important to seek out experienced and knowledgeable guides who have a deep understanding of the tradition and can provide a safe and supportive environment. Westerners should approach these traditions with humility and recognize their developmental differences and conditioning. Indigenous traditions, such as the Shipibo tradition, have ancient wisdom and knowledge in the use of entheogenic substances. The Shipibo people have a deep understanding of medicinal plants and a comprehensive medical system. Guest Bio Victoria Rose is an authority in pre and perinatal psychology and health education. She has extensive experience guiding couples through the psychospiritual dimensions of conception, pregnancy, labor, and birth, with a focus on nurturing birth physiology and fostering lifelong love. Victoria is also a certified Ayahuasca facilitator and has worked with many individuals to heal and grow through entheogenic birth experiences.

When I first met Victoria, she felt like her life was coming to an end after she was diagnosed with Graves Disease, an autoimmune thyroid condition. She was overwhelmed by feelings of anxiety and fear for her future. With the conventional methods of treating Graves, she had good reason to be afraid. Little did she know that, less than two short months later, she would come to look at the diagnosis as a gift. A gift that gave her the opportunity to live the life she always wanted and had always been afraid to go after. Listen in to learn more! Transcript: 00:00 And I think that it all really manifested in this way that I developed this thyroid condition. And after two months of working with Dr. Irene, my labs not only are practically normal, but I feel so much better all of the physical symptoms, I can really say all the physical symptoms that I had before are gone almost 100% of the time. Dr. Irene Cop 00:32 So, thank you so much for offering to let others know about your journey. Working with me, I appreciate you so much sharing. And just wanted to start out by asking a couple of questions, if that's okay. So one of the questions I have is, so often I find, and this is human nature that we have a we reach it enough is enough moment, right? That it's not so sure, I like to call it Rock Bottom. But it's that okay, something's got to change now. So would you feel comfortable just quickly sharing what that was for you. Victoria 01:13 Um, for me, it was probably when I felt like I couldn't function anymore. I couldn't enjoy anything, I just was in a constant state of worrying about just anything and everything things that likely would never happen. Just I would automatically go to worst case scenario for everything. And it was just not a functional way to live. And I just realized that I hadn't been happy. And I hadn't been living my life because I was just waiting for the other shoe to drop just constantly. Dr. Irene Cop 01:48 Thank you. Thank you so much for your vulnerability and sharing. Now, before you started working with me, had you tried anything else before? What worked? What didn't work? Victoria 01:59 Before working with you, I really tried to do a lot of stuff on my own. I would listen to like mindset podcasts and watch like conquering your anxiety, things on YouTube and stuff like that I would I have worked with therapists in the past, and nothing ever felt like it would make me it was lasting beyond the time I spent listening to it, then it never nothing ever made a real difference. Dr. Irene Cop 02:28 So what what made you decide to work with me Victoria 02:31 just some of the stuff that I heard when I heard you talking on Dr. Eric's podcast, some of the stuff you were saying just sounded like a really outside of the box kind of different approach, you would talk about some things like I don't know, patterns and stuff, the way we think is even just our unconscious mind. And it just made me realize that a lot of it is bigger than me and my intentions, because so much of it is deeper than that. And I wouldn't really I would only be able to scratch the surface on my own. Because it would it just went so deep, so much deeper than that. Dr. Irene Cop 03:07 Thank you. And so how has working with me changed your life? Victoria 03:14 I think it's been, gosh, probably almost two months. And I just feel very, I just feel like a sense of relief. I feel like not only because I feel better now in this moment, but I feel like I have tools now that I can take with me because I know realistically that stuff's gonna happen. And I feel better equipped to handle those things, because of a lot of the stuff that you've taught me things that we've gone over ways that you've helped me kind of reframe my thinking. And it's not easy to do, because I've been thinking this way for years. So I feel just very optimistic about handling things in the future and not falling back to the way that I was before. Dr. Irene Cop 04:02 Thank you. And is there. Can you give examples, perhaps in your life of like specific things that have changed Victoria 04:11 specifically, I feel like a big root cause of my unhappiness for a while which I think was kind of bottling up and manifesting and all these kinds of ways was that I had found myself in this life path that I never really wanted to be in to begin with because I was just programmed to just play it safe all the time. And I realized through working with Dr. Irene that I don't have to do that that I can go after something that I really wanted even if I don't completely know what that is yet. That's not the point. The point is that I don't have to play it safe in order to not be destitute, you know. So I am cutting back on hours at work so that I can discover what I really like and what I want to do. And it's such a freeing feeling, because I'm investing time in hobbies and experiences and time back. That's my actual life. And that is super meaningful. Dr. Irene Cop 05:16 And the you say three months ago, couldn't have imagined that today, you would be giving up security and a full time job to live the life you want. Victoria 05:28 It's funny you say that, because I had thought about it a lot. But I would always, like push it away, because I felt like it was just idealistic and just kind of just an unrealistic way to think that I could ever do something different, or just, I just made so many decisions in my life out of fear that I never thought that I could, that this would be a realistic place to find myself in. And now that I'm here, there's still that slight, that little voice in my head that sometimes tries to tell me that I'm crazy for making this decision. But I'm stronger than that now, and I've done enough work to know that that's not that's not real. And I never would have thought that I could make this decision. So really happy. Dr. Irene Cop 06:21 Thank you. So as part of your enough is enough moment. I remember you telling me and I don't want to put words in your mouth. There was a physical reason you also reached out to me. Do you mind sharing that? Victoria 06:35 Yeah. So I, I also developed an autoimmune disease. And I feel like a big part of my emotional unhappiness. And just like overall life dissatisfaction plays a big part in health. And I think that it all really manifested in this way that I developed this thyroid condition. And after two months of working with Dr. Irene, my labs not only are practically normal, but I feel so much better all of the physical symptoms. I can really say all the physical symptoms that I had before are gone almost 100% of the time. I'm so happy to hear that. Yeah, that's awesome. It is. I'm really, really happy about that. That's awesome. I didn't think it would happen so fast. Dr. Irene Cop 07:27 Wonderful. I'm so I'm so happy for you. You've definitely put in final question, Victoria. If somebody is considering working with me take one of our programs working with the Institute, what would you tell them Victoria 07:43 I would say it's worth doing this for yourself because it's it's worth the investment. There's so much value and it's going to be unlike anything you've tried before. I can almost guarantee that and I just know Dr. Irene wants the best for you and she's very, very relatable and she's supportive and it's just it's it's really worth putting that investment into yourself. And just taking a chance because I never thought that it could that I would feel this good this quickly and I look forward to working with Dr. Irene more in the future.

In this episode, Dr. Irene Cop welcomes Michael Ostrolenk, the Director of Human Relationships and Resilience at the Institute. Dr. Irene and Michael continue their discussion from the previous episode, which was entitled “Three Tools to Shift from Poor Performer to Elite Performer”. In this episode, they explore what it means to their clients to uplevel their performance. Michael introduces the concept of “Negative 20x”, which is the opposite of the popular concept of 10x-ing your performance. Michael explains that many of his clients operate under the mindset of not feeling good enough and judge themselves harshly, which leads them to try to prove themselves to others. Michael gives an example of a client who was always training for the next Spartan Race or Tough Mudder, not because he enjoyed them but because he was trying to prove something to his father and to himself. Michael suggests that instead of doing more of what they are already doing or even 10x-ing their performance, they should try negative 20x, which means slowing down and sitting quietly with themselves to notice what arises. Michael explains that this was the hardest race for his client, who found it uncomfortable to be with himself and not have a goal to train for. However, by doing so, he had breakthroughs and realized that his sense of not being good enough and the shame of being alive were driving him. He then stopped looking outward for validation and started looking inward to fulfill himself. Dr. Irene and Michael discuss how many of their clients feel like they are not enough, and they explore the reasons behind this feeling, which usually stem from their family of origin. Michael explains that by examining these underlying issues, clients can have breakthroughs and start to shift from poor performers to elite performers. They also discuss how being an elite performer does not mean being perfect or achieving all their goals but rather having resilience and the ability to bounce back from setbacks. Dr. Irene emphasizes the importance of being kind to oneself and not judging oneself harshly, as this can lead to burnout and other mental health issues. Michael suggests that clients should focus on progress, not perfection, and celebrate small wins along the way. In conclusion, this episode explores the concept of shifting from poor performer to elite performer, which is not about achieving perfection but rather having resilience and the ability to bounce back from setbacks. Michael introduces the concept of negative 20x, which means slowing down and sitting quietly with oneself to notice what arises. By doing so, clients can examine their underlying issues and have breakthroughs that can help them shift from poor performers to elite performers. They also discuss the importance of being kind to oneself and celebrating small wins along the way. If you're interested in learning more about achieving success through mindfulness and slowing down, this episode is a must-listen. Topics Discussed: Negative 20x approach Co-Regulation Importance of having a progress partner for accountability and support. The concept of "negative 20x," which is an alternative to the popular concept of "10x your performance." Negative 20x is about slowing down and sitting quietly within yourself instead of constantly trying to prove yourself to others. By doing this, clients can discover what's driving them and start looking inward to fulfill themselves, rather than looking outward for validation. This concept can help people who feel like they're not enough or are constantly judging themselves. The importance of having a progress partner for accountability and support, and the benefits of initiating a state change to open up the heart and mind for better communication and conflict resolution, both in personal and professional relationships. The practice of assuming the best in others and reframing situations to let go of stress and appreciate cultural differences. Having a progress partner for accountability and support can help you overcome the valley of despair when starting something new. Quotes: “Initiate a state change to open up the heart, mind, and body for coherence and deal with conflicts more easily.” - Michael D. Ostrolenk “Assume the best in people as you don't know where they're coming from.” “Reframe your thoughts and let go of negative emotions to alleviate stress.” Doing a brief practice to realign before meetings can improve your performance and creativity.
