There are many synonyms for pain. You can call it anxiety, stress, irritation, struggles, overwhelm... the list goes on and on. No matter what you call it, the same parts of the brain are being activated. Emotional pain can feel like physical pain, and there is no way to completely avoid it.
In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we sat down with Dr. Julia DiGangi to talk about how to embrace the idea of pain rather than avoid it so that you can begin to take back your power.
Dr. Julia DiGangi is a neuropsychologist who works with leaders, corporate teams and couples to address pain in their lives. An expert in the brain’s relationship with stress, resilience and relationships, she applies her expertise to help leaders think differently about their relationships, the pain they can cause, and what *actually* works to solve interpersonal problems.
From overwhelmed corporate leaders to traumatized couples to dysfunctional teams, Dr. Julia has taught thousands to create a new relationship with their brain and, subsequently, improve their relationships with the people around them. By helping people understand the brain in new ways, she empowers people to achieve the interpersonal effectiveness they desire.
She is regularly the keynote speaker for corporate, healthcare, government and educational audiences, is presently writing a book for Harvard Business Review titled “From Pain to Progress: The Neuroscience of Smart Leadership in Tough Times” and has also given a TEDx talk on the relationship between our brains and stress.
In today’s episode we cover:
- Different types of pain
- Why it’s so important to talk about pain
- Tackling pain to get back home to yourself
- The Pain Tree

Letting Go of The Fear and Finding True Joy with Kerri Hummingbird
1 RecommendationsMany people base their self-worth on what others think. It can be scary to change something about yourself or break harmful patterns because of the fear of what others will think of you, even if it’s for your own highest good. We are all unique and oftentimes, we don’t recognize the power we truly have because this fear that we won’t be accepted holds us back.
In this episode of From Survivor to Thriver, we sat down with special guest Kerri Hummingbird to talk about how we can finally break those patterns, stop trying to find our validation in other people, accept our differences, and start loving and fully embracing our true selves.

Kerri has over 30 years of experience in leading by inspiration and a special passion for reconnecting people to the guidance of our Mother Earth. She mentors women to rewrite the story of their lives through inner transformation, connection to essence, remembrance of purpose, and realignment to authenticity and truth.
She also inspires people to lead their lives wide awake with an authenticity, passion, and purpose that positively impacts others while catalyzing mind shifts that transform life challenges into gifts of wisdom.
In today’s episode we cover:
- The energy of manifestors
- The uniqueness of each person
- The feminist movement and trusting your instincts
- The power we each have
- Relationship dynamics
- Confirmation bias
- The impact of early childhood trauma
