Expanded States with Michelle Gale

This week Michelle and Iris Kraus discuss financial therapy and how you can create an abundance mindset.

Iris Kraus left the investment world to pursue meaning and purpose, applying her skills in the digital health and mental wellness spaces. For 8 years, Iris co-lead Wisdom Labs, a B2B platform for emotional and mental wellbeing as their CFO, COO and finally their Chief Revenue Officer. She firmly believes that businesses can be a power for good in this world. Iris is using her extensive financial and investment expertise combined with her emotional awareness and ability to connect with people to guide small businesses and individuals on their path from Scarcity to Abundance. You can learn more about Iris’s work by perusing her website.

This week I'm speaking with my good friend, Psychedelic Mentor & Alchemy Coach, Liz Chernett about mythopoetic integration and the oracle within.

Liminal by nature, she guides others through life’s thresholds—endings, beginnings, and openings where the soul expands and creativity flows. Liz is a certified in integration coaching through the Psychedelic Coaching Institute, and now teaches there on mythopoetic integration. She is a Level-2 Inner Team Dialogue coach, and is currently in training with the Jungian Coaching School. She co-hosts In Right Relationship, a podcast exploring psychedelics and the sacred. 

Before this chapter, Liz spent two decades as a creative & art director, stylist, and futurist—shaping campaigns and translating culture into visual stories. That craft now powers her transformational work: helping clients harvest symbols, archetypes, dreams, and the voices of their inner team to re-author their narratives.

This week I'm sharing a conversation with Otto Maier about the many facets of the Soul.   Working As a retreat leader for Tandava Retreats, the head of Integration for FIVE, and his private practice Soul & Psyche, Otto’s work focuses on helping others process both ecstatic and traumatic experiences through a blend of Depth psychology, IFS, Non-Pathology, Somatics, and the Decolonizing of the Psyche. A deep student of the liminal, the psychotic, dramatic and luminous dimensions of human transformation, His work is based around the notion that the Soul will not conform to conventional notions of well being and limitations or social norms, and as Thomas Moore once said "The soul will only be revealed through mystery and madness."   www.soulpsyche.org https://five-meo.education/5-meo-dmt-integration-specialist-training/    

This week on Expanded Stats, I'm speaking with Heather Smith about navigating Internal Family Systems (IFS). Heather is a Certified IFS Therapist and an Approved IFS Clinical Consultant.

Heather started The Moxie School® in January 2022 where she offers workshops, courses, and mentorship for therapists, coaches, and guides who want to hone their expertise in IFS and Psychedelic Assisted Therapy. Allotting her time to both psychotherapy and teaching has been a beautiful balance for her professionally.

We are witnessing the limitations of a modern healthcare system driven by for-profit medicine and prescription pharmaceuticals. Despite great wealth, our society is sicker than ever… with epidemic levels of mental illness, suicide, addiction, obesity, auto-immune disease, depression, widespread anxiety and insensitivity all around us.

 

Kayse and her community envision a proactive, empowering healthcare system - one that educates and inspires people to catalyze their innate healing potential. They aim to support the creation of healthy habits, provide access to self-resourcing tools, invite natural healing and up-level your personal growth & vibrancy.
