Bethany's first immersion in the study of the human experience spanned 20 years her career of owning salons and serving as a stylist. She quickly became known as the person who supported people to transform their inner worlds and lives - with a hair transformation as a bonus - and people returned to see her and share with her for years on end.

In surveying tens of thousands of people over this time, a common thread that she witnessed time and again was…people not recognizing themselves as the brilliant and unique humans they truly are. People are not seeing their innate worthiness. People are not seeing their splendour.

No matter what efforts humans were making in their physical world, they couldn’t see it.

Paired with her personal journey with all things human (like trauma and heartbreak!), healing and deep transformation, she devoted herself to spreading what she had learned, experienced, released, created and embodied, with other humans who needed it - and gratefully, Splendor was born.

It truly is her greatest joy in this life to support people to heal and see their magnificence so that they can powerfully step into the next evolution of themselves from a place of wholeness and worthiness.

Every one of the programs at Splendor is an extension of her heart, soul and lived experiences, so she knows they work.

He discovered that if we combine europsychoendocrinology, brain science, epigenetics, brainwave studies, quantum mechanics and the neurobiology of stress [trauma], the combination of these sciences can truly empower each of us to begin to interact with the nature of our biological life, with the Unified Field of consciousness and energy; Light and information. 

His passion is to teach these sciences and empower people from all walks of life to enter the quantum field beyond time and space. The quantum field is a realm of possibilities. It is a self-organizing, self-creative, and self-initiating force that consistently and constantly gives us life without our will, and IT KNOWS MORE THAN US.

She is also a 3 time international best selling Amazon author and the Captain of bME - Big Miracle Energy, an empowering community where judgment is left behind, and you're invited to embark on a transformative journey.  

She works with women who can’t stand the thought of another vanilla talk therapy session, she creates a space for their egos to feel safe and get to the root cause for why they feel stuck in life. Her method, The Unicorn Effect, works to peel back the layers of societal conditioning, programming, and trauma, so that they can experience awhole new level of self-love. And no, she doesn’t mean wine Wednesdays, and bubble baths —she teaches her clients how to connect with themselves in the purest form, where true, authentic self-love is born, to figure out who you REALLY are!

Most of her life, she had been a major outsourcer—looking for clues to who she was in personality tests, astrology readings and every quiz imaginable. At 32, she was faced with a life changing event, she was getting a divorce, which completely altered the trajectory of her life. She began to connect with her own inner child (who had been abandoned by her and most people she knew at a young age) and stopped looking externally. 

Using her social work background and her expertise on the impact of childhood traumas, she began supporting women to heal the innermost parts of themselves and say sayonara to another Myers Briggs test. She guides women on their journey to clear out the noise that has been running their life and holding them back from their answers within.

In this week's episode, I welcome Dr. Heather Browne. Dr. Browne helps people recognize the power of communication.  It is one of our most important skills, yet we don’t consider our understanding, approach, and belief, and, therefore, miss our possibilities.  Living with a paranoid schizophrenic mother gave Dr. Heather a unique and powerful awareness that no one has the same reality, though we believe we do.  Utilizing this revolutionary awareness has allowed her to transform communication within herself and other relationships.  This is the hidden key to acceptance.  And this is her mission to share.    

As a relationship expert, Dr. Heather Browne has worked with thousands of individuals and couples in psychotherapy.  She has been published in hundreds of journals, has an active YouTube channel, has been featured on ABC-7 news, was the relationship expert on KDOC Daybreak OC, and has been published in Inc., Toronto Sun, Thriving Family Magazine,  Light + Life, BRAINZ, Scary Mommy, and Psychology Today.  She is a regular guest blogger for both Links for Shrinks and Marriage Friendly Therapists.  Two books in the final stages of pre-publication, and a TedX speaker coming 9-23! She offers a weekly newsletter packed with tips and techniques to improve relationships and has monthly workshops!

In this episode, Dr. Browne and I highlight the importance of communication within the family system, how we sometimes fall into specific patterns, and how we can consciously change those patterns. Just like many of our relationships, communication is crucial. Dr. Browne expands on her own experiences in her family and some things she focuses on around communication.
