Creating Abundance

Rapid Rewire & Elite Coaching: Stephanie Kwong on trauma healing, mind-body integration, and unlocking peak performance

Stephanie's Coaching Reputation Story Stephanie explained how she earned the nickname "secret weapon" while working as a coach from 2007 to 2021, particularly during the last six and a half years when she helped high-profile clients at major companies like Google and Facebook. She described how these successful clients referred others to her, leading to her reputation as an effective coach who could help people overcome obstacles and break through personal challenges.   Attracting High-Level Clients Journey Stephanie shared her journey of attracting high-level clients, explaining that it took internal work to feel worthy of working with such individuals. She emphasized her focus on results and honing her skills through various training modalities and experience in addiction and mental health treatment centers. Stephanie decided to work with high-profile individuals to maximize her impact, believing that their transformation would positively influence their broader networks.   Conscious Leadership Development Journey Stephanie discussed her journey in helping high-level executives and entrepreneurs, including those at companies like Google and Facebook, achieve conscious leadership through various modalities such as NLP, hypnosis, and somatic experiencing. She emphasized the importance of internal alignment, skill development, and networking in her work. Stephanie highlighted her experience at addiction recovery centers like Passages and Resolutions, where she learned and synthesized different tools and interventions to effectively support her clients.   Holistic Certification and Mental Health Stephanie discussed her experience with holistic certifications and her co-founding of the Rapid Rewire Method, which combines science and spirituality to address mental and emotional blocks. She shared a personal story about enduring a miscarriage in February 2021, which led her to develop the method after experiencing significant grief.   Trauma Recovery and Co-Founding Journey Stephanie shared her experience with deep grief following a miscarriage, which affected her ability to work with clients. Despite seeking help from friends and professionals, she found little relief until her medical doctor referred her to her now co-founder, who used a trauma integration process to help her fully process the trauma in a single 60-minute session. After experiencing significant relief, Stephanie began learning systematic tools from her co-founder, which led to her receiving a divine command to bring these tools into the world.   Rapid Rewire Method Journey Stephanie shared her journey of launching the Rapid Rewire Method with her business partner after he passed away from COVID. They are now conducting a study with Northwestern University and the University of Tennessee on their trauma integration tool, focusing on first responders as subjects. Alana expressed interest in Stephanie's work and shared her own experience with a premature birth, highlighting the importance of finding healing and sharing it with others.   Personal Growth and Relationship Journey Stephanie shared her personal journey, moving from California to Colorado six years ago after meeting her fiancé during the pandemic. She discussed how she overcame patterns of attracting toxic relationships through personal growth work, ultimately finding unconditional love with her partner Mac. The conversation then shifted to discussing tools like EFT, yoga, meditation, Reiki, and shamanism, though the transcript ended before Stephanie could provide details about her favorite tools and their benefits.   Rapid Rewire Therapy Discussion Stephanie discussed her preference for rapid rewire tools over other therapeutic approaches due to their efficiency and holistic nature, which address memories and experiences through images, thoughts, emotions, and body sensations. She shared her personal experience using these tools to process anticipatory grief following her mother's cancer diagnosis and a friend's recent cancer recurrence. Stephanie also mentioned her background in energy healing and Reiki, highlighting how she could quickly identify and address root causes of trauma in clients, though she noted that not everyone might be ready for such intensive healing sessions.   Rapid Rewire Method Overview Stephanie explained the Rapid Rewire Method, describing how it systematically unearths root causes of issues through a structured process involving the mind, emotions, nervous system, and body. She mentioned that the method can address problems, limiting beliefs, trauma, and even spiritual awakening without requiring participants to use substances like ayahuasca. Stephanie invited Alana to attend an immersion to experience the tools firsthand.   Rapid Rewire Method Discussion Alana and Stephanie discussed the Rapid Rewire Method, with Stephanie offering a free guided session download available at info.rapidrearmethod.com/forward/slasl/freebie. Both participants expressed appreciation for each other's work and healing offerings, concluding the meeting with a mutual acknowledgment of their respective gifts and contributions to helping others.   CONNECT with Stephanie FREE GIFT: https://download.helencreatesbeauty.com/book/https://info.rapidrewiremethod.com/freebie [https://info.rapidrewiremethod.com/freebie] https://unbound-now.com/ [https://unbound-now.com/]   CONNECT with Alana FREE GIFT: Experience calm & clarity with Alana’s Guided Meditation [https://www.alanacahoon.com/] https://www.alanacahoon.com/ [https://www.alanacahoon.com/] https://www.facebook.com/alana.cahoon.balance [https://www.facebook.com/alana.cahoon.balance] https://www.instagram.com/alana_cahoon/ [https://www.instagram.com/alana_cahoon/]   https://www.linkedin.com/in/alana-cahoon-4571201/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/alana-cahoon-4571201/]   https://www.amazon.com/stores/Alana-Cahoon/author/B08G3RQRM5?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=9b4b794e-da84-4f62-afed-debcf2d7e815  [https://www.amazon.com/stores/Alana-Cahoon/author/B08G3RQRM5?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=9b4b794e-da84-4f62-afed-debcf2d7e815] Visit Alana's website https://www.alanacahoon.com/ [https://www.alanacahoon.com/]where peace and abundance comes in all different forms!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Aura Colors & Awakening: Helen Ye Plehn on chakras, soul gifts, and spiritual transformation

Artistic Journey and Psychic Insights Helen shared her artistic journey, explaining how her father's influence led her to develop a colorful painting style inspired by meditation visions and third-eye experiences. She described her 2018 Kundalini awakening as a transformative event that enhanced her ability to perceive auras and spirit guides, leading her to incorporate sacred geometry and crystal grids into her artwork. Helen emphasized that artists serve as divine channels, using their psychic abilities to translate cosmic inspiration into physical creations. Understanding Aura Layers and Functions Helen explained the concept of auras, comparing them to Russian dolls with seven layers corresponding to the seven chakras. She described the different types of auras, including the soul aura, mood aura, and their corresponding colors and functions. Alana, who teaches aura-related topics, found the analogy helpful and discussed how understanding aura layers can inform spiritual practices like positive affirmations. Soul Aura Colors and Quiz Helen and Alana discussed aura colors and their significance, with Helen explaining that there are three types of auras: mood aura (around the face and changes frequently), personality aura (around the head and changes with significant life events), and soul aura color (around the heart chakra and changes over several years). Helen emphasized that soul aura colors carry information about one's gifts, wounds, and lessons, and she encouraged Alana to take a free 20-question quiz on her website to determine her soul aura color. They also briefly discussed the coincidence of recording the episode on Lunar New Year and Alana wearing a jade pendant, which Helen noted was complementary to her soul aura color. Intuition and Ethical Responsibility Alana and Helen discussed the importance of intuition and the responsibility that comes with it. Alana shared her experience of learning to harness her intuition and emphasized the need for respect and permission when sharing insights with others. Helen agreed and added that as healers or intuitives, it's important to respect people's free will and not take on their karma. They also discussed how some souls may not be ready to hear certain information, even if it's known or seen. Helen's Healing and Oracle Insights Helen shared her experience as a healer and intuitive, emphasizing the importance of confirming with a spirit team before delivering difficult news. She discussed her book, "The Oracle Will Speak," and offered three free gifts to readers: access to the Oracle Will Circle, a personalized feng shui birth element reading, and a $50 discount on a Rainbow Aura Meditation Bundle. Helen also mentioned her monthly membership, Aura Evolution Sanctuary, and her podcast, Aura Evolution Podcast, which airs every Monday at 10 AM Pacific time.

The Mineral Reset: Restoring energy, balance, and vitality from the inside out — featuring Caroline Alan

Caroline shares her powerful personal journey from a high-performing career in the tech world—one that left her physically, mentally, and energetically depleted—to a path of profound healing and purpose. After years of struggling with chronic inflammation, gut issues, fatigue, sleep disruption, and adrenal burnout, she experienced a turning point through the use of plant-based minerals. What began as personal healing quickly evolved into a deep scientific exploration of cellular biology, microbiology, soil science, and the body’s innate intelligence. That journey ultimately led her to co-found BEAM Minerals, alongside her partner Dan Howard, with a mission to restore health at its most foundational level: the cell. Together, Alana and Caroline explore the science behind mineral balance and why it is essential for proper cellular function, energy production, hydration, detoxification, and overall resilience. Caroline breaks down the concept of bioavailability—why many traditional supplements are not effectively absorbed—and explains how fulvic and humic plant-based minerals, derived from ancient plant matter, offer a full-spectrum, highly absorbable solution that works in harmony with the body. The conversation also sheds light on a critical issue impacting modern health: the widespread depletion of minerals in our soil and food supply. Even those eating clean, organic diets may still be operating at a deficit, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, inflammation, irritability, and an overtaxed nervous system. Caroline reframes many chronic conditions as potential signs of cellular mineral deficiency—inviting listeners to consider a new root-cause perspective on health. Blending science with lived experience, Alana and Caroline also explore the connection between physical vitality and abundance. How does the state of your body influence your clarity, focus, emotional regulation, and ability to lead? What if burnout isn’t just about doing too much—but about the body lacking the foundational resources it needs to function optimally? Caroline shares her experience building BEAM Minerals, the mindset shifts required to move from corporate burnout to purpose-driven entrepreneurship, and the deeper understanding that true healing—and true abundance—begins within. Listeners will also get an introduction to BEAM’s plant-based mineral products, including fulvic and humic blends designed for ease of use and optimal absorption, as well as a preview of Caroline’s upcoming book, The Mineral Reset, releasing in spring 2026. This episode is both educational and empowering—offering practical insights, a fresh perspective on health, and a powerful reminder that reclaiming your energy is not only possible… it is essential. If you’ve been feeling depleted, foggy, or disconnected from your vitality, this conversation may be the missing link you’ve been searching for.   https://www.carolinealan.com   FREE GIFT: Experience calm & clarity with Alana’s Guided Meditation [https://www.alanacahoon.com/] https://www.alanacahoon.com/ [https://www.alanacahoon.com/]   CONNECT with Alana https://www.facebook.com/alana.cahoon.balance [https://www.facebook.com/alana.cahoon.balance] https://www.instagram.com/alana_cahoon/ [https://www.instagram.com/alana_cahoon/]   https://www.linkedin.com/in/alana-cahoon-4571201/ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/alana-cahoon-4571201/]   Visit Alana's website https://www.alanacahoon.com/ [https://www.alanacahoon.com/]where peace and abundance comes in all different forms!  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
