Misophonia and Everything Else that Bothered Me… I Finally Accepted Myself and Everyone Else with Kori Meloy
In this heartfelt episode of The Mind Change Podcast, host Heather McKean sits down with her friend and holistic wellness guide, Kori Meloy, to discuss Kori's journey through misophonia and her transformative experiences with the Mind Change method. The conversation highlights Kori's growth from struggling with a disorder characterized by an aversion to specific sounds to finding healing and reframing her understanding of her own body and experiences.
Kori shares her initial struggles with misophonia, including intense anger and the urge to retreat from triggering sounds. As she reflects on how her misophonia was intertwined with her family dynamics and feelings of not being understood, Heather offers insights into how Kori's body was signaling a need for control and how her family environment may have influenced her reactions.
The discussion then shifts to Kori's experiences with motherhood, including the birth of her first child via C-section and the guilt and self-punishment she experienced due to the separation from her newborn. Kori talks about her journey toward holistic healing and understanding her body's deeper needs, which involved moving away from rigid beliefs and focusing on a more comprehensive view of health and wellness.
Heather and Kori also discuss how Mind Change profoundly impacted Kori's life by addressing her misophonia and reshaping her childbirth experiences. By examining her belief systems and paying attention to her body's messages, Kori achieved healing and transformed her approach to motherhood and life. This awareness allowed her to trust her body and make empowered choices, leading to a successful and beautiful VBAC home birth with her second child.
Thanks to her body's messages through misophonia, Kori was able to uncover her internal struggles and identify underlying beliefs connected to the disorder and other challenges, leading to profound healing and transformation in her life. Not only has she healed herself, but she has also become a wellness coach, transforming the lives of thousands.
Kori and her husband now offer a course inspired by their daughter's birth that helps participants understand their body's messages, explore psychological roots of their posture, and repattern their body and mind for more freedom.
Tune in to discover the importance of listening to your body's messages and how struggles can guide you towards greater understanding and healing. Kori’s story is a testament to the power of self-awareness and the transformative journey toward embracing your true self.
