Brain Body Speak: The Language of Health, Happiness, and Success 🎙️

💡 Your brain. Your body. Your power.

Learn the Language of Health, Happiness & Success

🎧 Listen & Subscribe

Rewire your brain. Regulate your nervous system. Rewrite your life to RISE.

Where neuroscience, somatics, psychology, and subconscious reprogramming meet health and wellness for real-life transformation.

I’m Holly Joy McCabe, and my mission is simple: to help you understand how your brain, body, nervous system, and subconscious mind shape everything—your health, your happiness, and your success.

✨ If you’ve ever felt stuck in cycles of stress, burnout, or frustration... ✨ If you’ve read the books, done the work, but still feel like something’s missing... ✨ If you want practical, science-backed strategies to heal, grow, and thrive...

You’re in the right place.

Each episode breaks down complex topics into clear, actionable insights that you can apply immediately—whether you're just starting your self-growth journey, deep into healing work, or an ambitious leader creating success on your own terms.

And if you're a founder, CEO, or high-level entrepreneur who wants to apply these concepts specifically to business and leadership, be sure to check out my other show, The Regulated CEO, where we redefine success by working with—rather than against—our brains and bodies.

A client once told me I was like a female version of Andrew Huberman, Joe Dispenza, and Wayne Dyer—and I’ve never been more flattered.

That description perfectly captures my passion for blending: 🧠 Neuroscience & biohacking – Brain function, subconscious rewiring, and high-performance health optimization. ⚡ Trauma healing & personal transformation – Breaking free from old patterns and creating real, sustainable change. 💡 Spiritual philosophy & deeper self-mastery – How beliefs, emotions, and energy shape reality.

Now, add in a little Mel Robbins/Tony Robbins-style tough love when needed, top it off with the insight and compassion of The Holistic Psychologist, and you’ve got a powerful mix of science, strategy, and soul.

If you like these popular shows by these incredible leaders, and thought-provoking conversations that challenge the norm, this show will be right up your alley!

But Brain Body Speak isn’t just about one lane of healing. We bring it all together.

This podcast dives deep into the mental, physical, and energetic layers of growth and optimization—bringing you out-of-the-box perspectives on:

🧠 Mental & Emotional Well-Being – Depression, anxiety, and mindset mastery beyond traditional psychology, integrating brain-based tools, subconscious reprogramming, and holistic approaches.

Physical & Biohacking Strategies – From nutrition, fitness, and cellular healing to anti-aging, gut health, and energy optimization.

💡 Spiritual & Energetic Alignment – How your subconscious beliefs, nervous system, and energy affect success, relationships, and overall life experience.

This podcast isn’t just about theory—it’s about real transformation. If there’s a cutting-edge topic that helps you become the best version of yourself, you can bet I’ve explored it—and I’ll be bringing you the insights. And one final note, I promise you I’m not the one to shy away from hard or controversial topics. I truly believe there is some truth in everything and I am committed to bringing unique voices to my show that challenge the status quo and push us all to get a little uncomfortable!

This is the space where I bring my 20+ years in the spaces of mind-body healing, personal growth, and high-performance science into one synergistic, easy-to-digest experience. Because the truth is—we need a little bit of everything to truly thrive.

The Truth About Emotional Eating—It’s Not What You Think

🎙 Episode Title: The Truth About Emotional Eating—It’s Not What You Think

🧠 What if everything you thought you knew about emotional eating was wrong?

If you’ve ever felt out of control with food, struggled with cravings, or found yourself stress-eating despite knowing better... this episode is for you.

The truth is, emotional eating isn’t just about emotions. It’s not about willpower, self-control, or needing more discipline. It’s about your nervous system, your survival instincts, and how your body responds to stress and restriction.

In this deep dive, I break down:✔️ Why your body treats dieting like a famine (and how it forces you to binge)✔️ The nervous system’s role in emotional eating—it’s not just about stress!✔️ Why extreme dieting backfires and makes cravings worse✔️ How the fitness & diet industry set you up to fail (and what to do instead)✔️ The REAL reason you can’t “just stop” emotional eating—hint: it’s biological✔️ How to regulate your nervous system so food stops feeling like a battle

🚨 This isn’t another “just eat intuitively” talk. This is the science behind why your body fights you—and how to work with it to create sustainable, long-term healing.

🔊 Listen now and learn how to stop the cycle of stress, restriction, and bingeing—for good.

Brain Body Speak. The language of health, happiness and success. - 3. You're not as self aware as you think you are. Shocking stats that explain why, and how to shift!
play

Unlocking True Self-Awareness: The Path to Personal Growth and Healing

Most People Are NOT as Self-Aware as They Think

Research shows that only 10-15% of people are actually self-aware, yet 95% of people believe they are. (Eurich, 2018)

Why? Because the human brain is wired to overestimate its strengths and downplay its weaknesses—a bias known as the Dunning-Kruger Effect. The less aware we are, the more confident we feel in our perception of ourselves.

In short: Most people are walking around convinced they know themselves, while their blind spots run the show.

Self-awareness is often mistaken for self-reflection. But the ability to look back on what you did is not the same as understanding why you did it—or changing what happens next.

A lot of people can list 50 reasons for their behaviors: 🚩 “That’s just my personality.” 🚩 “It’s my trauma response.” 🚩 “I’m a Virgo—what do you expect?” 🚩 “That’s just the way I’ve always been.”

But labeling a pattern isn’t the same as breaking it. If anything, it reinforces it—creating an identity around behavior that makes it harder to change.

If your self-awareness isn’t leading to different choices, it’s just self-analysis.

Reflection ≠ Self-Awareness
In this episode of BrainBodySpeak, hosted by Holly Joy McCabe, the focus is on the crucial topic of self-awareness. Holly discusses how true self-awareness is rare, with only 10-15% of people genuinely possessing it, while 95% believe they do. She delves into the critical role of self-awareness in personal development, trauma healing, and entrepreneurship.

In this deeply empowering solo episode, Holly Joy McCabe dismantles one of the most toxic personal development ideals: balance.

We’ve been told to “strive for balance” — in our work, our relationships, our self-care — but what if that goal is keeping us in a cycle of burnout, disappointment, and self-blame?

Holly reframes this outdated narrative by offering a revolutionary alternative: harmony.

From juggling glass vs. rubber balls, to hormone cycles, business seasons, nervous system capacity, and daily rhythms — this episode gives women the tools to finally stop chasing a fantasy and start creating a life that works with them, not against them.

  • Why balance is a myth that sets women up to fail
  • The power of harmony over perfection
  • How your hormonal cycle impacts productivity
  • What “rubber vs. glass balls” really means in your daily life
  • Why hustle culture isn’t bad — when it’s used correctly
  • The #1 priority every woman should structure her day around
  • How to build capacity in your nervous system and life
  • Tools to regularly recalibrate and check in with yourself
  • How to organize your priorities to reduce anxiety & increase clarity
