The Catherine Plano Podcast

Have you ever felt like you’re doing all the right things, yet something still feels… off? What if your outer results are just a reflection of the energy you’re holding inside? In this soul-expanding episode, we explore the often misunderstood concept of vibrational frequency—and how it silently shapes your entire reality. You don’t have to fake positivity or wait to “feel good” to create real change. You just need to become aware of where you are… and be willing to shift. This episode offers three powerful insights to help you elevate your energy and live in alignment with your highest self. Your Frequency Is a Mirror: We’re not manifesting from what we want—we’re manifesting from who we’re being. Catherine shares a personal story of leading her team through a bold project that stalled, not because of strategy, but because of stagnant energy. Through a simple “vibe check,” everything changed. The takeaway? Your external world reflects your internal signal. You Don’t Have to Feel Amazing to Shift: This isn’t about bypassing emotions—it’s about emotional truth with energetic intention. Using Dr. David Hawkins’ map of consciousness, Catherine reveals how even small shifts—from fear to acceptance, or from doubt to courage—can unlock momentum and healing. Real transformation doesn’t require perfection; it requires presence. Make Vibration a Daily Practice: Raising your frequency isn’t a one-time fix—it’s a way of life. Catherine shares her go-to practices for daily energetic hygiene: checking your emotional baseline, using intentional language, and calibrating collective energy in groups. These micro-shifts become the foundation for a more aligned, magnetic life. This isn’t just an episode—it’s an invitation to stop grinding and start resonating. If you’re ready to step into emotional alignment and unlock your next level, this one’s for you. You can watch the video of this episode on YouTube [https://youtu.be/QjepjenIRpc].

Why does the ego keep us stuck, no matter how much we try to grow, heal, or evolve? In this transformative episode, spiritual teacher and Oprah SuperSoul 100 visionary Gordana Biernat reveals why the key to lasting inner peace isn’t in suppressing the ego—but in observing it. With disarming wisdom and radical honesty, Gordana shares how we can shift from being ruled by old emotional programs to embodying our highest self through conscious awareness. She unpacks the subtle ways the ego hijacks our reality: projecting fear, seeking control, and keeping us in loops of conflict, blame, and emotional reactivity. But this isn’t about ego death—it’s about ego integration. Gordana introduces powerful tools like “I am willing to see this differently,” radical openness, and rising into grace—simple but profound practices that help us pause, breathe, and choose again. Through stories of motherhood, generational healing, and her own awakening, she shows how presence in the moment becomes the path to soul alignment. This episode is not a conversation about fixing yourself—it’s a reminder that your essence was never broken. If you’ve been caught in repeated emotional triggers, hard on yourself for not being “further along,” or unsure how to separate your story from your truth, this episode is a sacred invitation to return home to the stillness within.

Why do some wounds never fully heal—no matter how much inner work we do? In this transformative episode, psychological astrologer AstroViktor reveals how your birth chart holds the hidden blueprint of your deepest emotional wounds—and your greatest potential for healing. Through the archetype of Chiron, the Wounded Healer, AstroViktor takes us on a soul-level exploration of childhood rejection, subconscious imprints, and the subtle ways we recreate pain through repetition compulsion. This isn’t about prediction—it’s about power: the power to understand the story behind the pain, the unmet need beneath the pattern, and the purpose encoded in your suffering. Drawing connections between Saturn, the 12th house, archetypes, and asteroids like Nessus and Hygieia, AstroViktor invites us into a richer, deeper view of astrology—one where healing becomes a conscious choice and your chart becomes a sacred map to integration. If you’ve ever felt stuck in old trauma loops or struggled to accept the parts of yourself shaped by pain, this episode will help you reclaim your story—and your soul.

In this soul-stretching episode, Catherine sits down with Neil Markey, former U.S. special operations commander turned psychedelic wellness visionary, to explore one of the most urgent and transformative frontiers in mental health: plant medicine. After serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, Neil returned home carrying the invisible wounds of war — anxiety, hypervigilance, and trauma that traditional therapy could not touch. What followed was a radical rebirth through meditation, psilocybin, and the deep inner work of integration. Now, as co-founder of Beckley Retreats, Neil offers legal, research-informed psychedelic retreats in Jamaica and the Netherlands that fuse high-dose psilocybin ceremonies with breathwork, movement, and weeks of guided support. This is not about escape — it is about coming back to your truth. Together, Catherine and Neil dive into: * The neuroscience of psilocybin and how it rewires the brain * The importance of set, setting, and skilled facilitation * The myths and stigmas still haunting the psychedelic space * The real difference between microdosing and macrodosing * Why integration, not the peak experience, is the portal to lasting change This conversation is a masterclass in post-traumatic growth, emotional alchemy, and what it means to truly heal in a fragmented world. Neil leaves us with three sacred truths: Meditation changes everything Nature is medicine Relationships are the real work If you are ready to rethink what healing looks like, this episode will open doors you didn’t know were closed.

What if the reason you still feel stuck… isn’t in your mind, but hidden in your nervous system? You are not “too sensitive.” You are not “overreacting.” And you are not broken. You are running a pattern. A loop. A glitch in your system that once kept you safe, but now keeps you small. In this radical and revelatory conversation with Liz Larson, co-creator of CognoMovement, we explore the invisible architecture of your mind-body connection—where trauma hides, how it rewires your perception of reality, and why your body remembers what your mind forgets. Through the lens of nervous system mapping, brain remapping, and somatic pattern disruption, Liz exposes how your triggers, chronic pain, emotional reactivity, and even relationship blocks are not random—they are patterns your brain can unlearn. This is not theory. It’s not mindset. It’s biology—and it can change in minutes. You’ll discover how something as simple as moving your eyes to a certain position can collapse an old trauma loop… how a small shift in posture can pull you out of fight-or-flight… and how rewiring your brain isn’t about talking—it’s about feeling. If you’re tired of repeating the same reactions… If you’re ready to feel safe enough to expand… If you’re craving a new way to relate to your emotions, your body, and your past… This conversation is your turning point. Because healing isn’t a mystery. It’s a method. And your body already knows how to find its way home. About Liz Larson Liz Larson is a trailblazer in the field of applied neuroplasticity and co-founder of CognoMovement—a cutting-edge modality that helps people radically shift emotional, physical, and behavioural patterns by working directly with the nervous system. After witnessing her parents face simultaneous neurological decline, Liz became relentless in understanding how the body could heal the brain. Alongside co-creator Bill McKenna, Liz has developed a powerful system that blends movement, eye tracking, and somatic awareness to help people release trauma, break free from long-standing limitations, and experience tangible transformation. Liz is also a master practitioner of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) and brings decades of experiential knowledge to her work. Through CognoMovement, she has helped thousands of people around the world step out of pain, anxiety, and self-sabotage—and into a new, expansive way of living.
