• From Hyperfocus to Chaos: Real Talk About Neurodivergence
    Jun 10 2025

    In this episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony Slater and Russell Case sit down with Raquel Devillé, a skilled therapist specializing in neurodiversity. They explore the complexities of living with ADHD, autism, and sensory sensitivities, and how these experiences can manifest in daily life—especially for highly sensitive individuals.

    Key Topics Covered:

    • The meaning and nuances of neurodiversity (beyond labels and diagnoses)
    • Executive functioning, rigid thinking, masking, and sensory overload
    • How somatic therapies like TRE (Tension and Trauma Releasing Exercises) and brainspotting support trauma healing
    • The difference between neurotypical and neurodivergent experiences, and why “normal” might not exist at all
    • Raquel’s perspective on labels and diagnosis—why she prefers to avoid them
    • The spontaneous tremoring response and its impact on healing
    • The overlap between ADHD and autism, especially in women
    • Managing everyday challenges like disorganization, distraction, and overwhelm
    • How Raquel organizes her spices alphabetically—and what that says about her brain!
    • How tremoring can reduce stress, sugar cravings, and even trauma-related symptoms
    • The importance of recognizing your own needs and finding therapies that work for your unique wiring

    Raquel’s Approach:

    Raquel explains her integrative approach, combining TRE, somatic experiencing, and brainspotting to help clients release trauma and stress stored in the body. She discusses why spontaneous tremoring can be a powerful reset for the nervous system and how somatic work differs from cognitive therapy by engaging deeper brain regions like the limbic system and the brainstem.

  • Energetic Shifts That Change Your Relationship With Money
    May 27 2025

    Your relationship with money runs deeper than spreadsheets or strategy—it’s stored in your body.

    In this insightful and energizing episode, Harmony Slater shares an excerpt from a powerful conversation with business coach Danielle Leigh about money, worth, and the energetic patterns that shape how we show up in business. From Harmony’s early childhood imprint of financial fear to the science of dopamine and gendered money responses, this dialogue unveils the invisible beliefs that keep women playing small.

    Through compassionate coaching and practical somatic exercises, Harmony and Danielle explore what it means to rewire your nervous system for abundance. You’ll learn how money is simply energy—prana—and why regulating your frequency is the key to creating sustainable, aligned success.

    This conversation goes beyond mindset, touching on the spiritual, emotional, ancestral, and embodied roots of wealth. Whether you’re a healer, creative, entrepreneur, or simply ready to stop chasing and start embodying, this episode will change how you relate to money, power, and self-worth.

    Topics Explored:
    • How subconscious beliefs about money are formed
    • The link between self-worth and net worth
    • Somatic practices for financial healing
    • Why women often feel unsafe receiving money
    • Nervous system regulation and income ceilings
    • Practical visualization, breathwork, and daily rituals
    • Money mantras that actually work

    Danielle Leigh is a wife, a boy mom, and a business coach and strategist who helps women grow their businesses and build lives they love. After a decade rising through the corporate ranks as a seasoned brand strategist, she now uses her unique blend of mindset coaching and actionable planning to help entrepreneurs attract dream clients, scale sustainably, and create waitlists—all while still making it to their kiddos’ soccer games.

    Danielle’s work has been featured in U.S. News and World Report, Medium.com, and she was named one of the “Top 30 Coaches to Look Out For” by NYC Journal. Her approach has helped clients reach 6+ figures in income by aligning strategy with soulful ambition.

  • Look Again: The Practice That Changes Everything
    May 6 2025

    In this deeply resonant episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, hosts Harmony Slater and Russell Case are joined once again by two of the most beloved teachers in the world of yoga and Buddhist philosophy—Richard Freeman and Mary Taylor. Together, they explore the eternal question: What does it mean to be truly happy?

    Drawing from decades of yoga practice, philosophical inquiry, and embodied living, Richard and Mary illuminate how joy, contentment, and interconnection arise not from seeking, but from sensing—from tuning in to the subtle patterns of breath, body, and awareness.

    From stories of moody teenagers and Michelin-star meals to the nature of embodiment, the group shares moments of insight, hilarity, and grace. You’ll hear how depression and suffering shape our paths, why mindfulness without embodiment can sometimes harm more than help, and how “looking again” may be the most profound spiritual practice of all.

    Whether you’re a longtime yogi or simply curious about how to live with more presence and compassion, this episode offers a grounded, heart-opening invitation into the field of happiness that lives within each of us.

  • When Yoga Gets Scientific: The Real Effects on Stress and Aging
    Apr 22 2025
    Harmony Slater reconnects with longtime friend and fellow teacher Paul Dallaghan to explore his journey from Ireland to India, from business school to biology, and from asana to advanced Pranayama. Paul shares the inner current that drew him to spiritual practice, his years immersed in India and Thailand, and his groundbreaking research on how breath-based yoga practices affect longevity, telomere length, and mental health. The episode is filled with insights on what it means to be truly engaged in your practice, how ancient yogic techniques translate into measurable physiological benefits, and why sincerity may be the most essential ingredient in personal transformation. Whether you're a seasoned yoga practitioner or someone looking to understand how the breath can change your brain and your life, this episode will spark curiosity and offer grounded, heart-centered wisdom. In This Episode, You'll Hear: Paul’s early spiritual awakenings from farms in France to kibbutzim in IsraelHow yoga found him in New York City and redirected his life pathHis years in India, spiritual pilgrimages, and devotion to PranayamaThe influence of Sri O.P. Tiwari and the Kaivalyadhama lineageHis PhD research at Emory University: what ancient yogis knew and science now confirmsWhy telomere length matters and how breath practices directly impact itWhat sincerity in practice really looks like, and why it’s essentialSurprising stories about psychedelics and why they had little effect on him Guest Bio: Paul has spent 30 years in the wellbeing arena, from immersion in original breath-body-mind practices to cultural and scientific study. He is CEO and founder of Samahita Retreat since 2003, the first full wellbeing retreat center in Asia, known for breath, yoga, wellness and fitness, thriving today on Ko Samui, Thailand. Paul spent many years in India, including in Mysore with P Jois, being the last to be certified by him in his lifetime (in 2007). He learnt pranayama in-depth with his primary teacher, O.P.Tiwari. Paul was acknowledged in 2022 in the Indian tradition as “Master Yogi: Pranacharya (Breath Expert)”. Paul was aware of the need for robust research and deep study in this field and devoted himself to academic scholarship, earning a Ph.D in Biological Anthropology from Emory University. His area of specialty was the breath and related practices, their history and origins, as well as a scientific analysis where he developed protocols and carried out a clinical trial study assessing psychological and physiological markers on mental health, stress, and longevity outcomes. Paul has taught practical workshops all over the world as well as at the University level while being an invited speaker to events, conferences or by private organizations. The ability to laugh and banter and not take yourself seriously are key to his philosophy of life. All this while being a devoted father to two sons.
