Hi! My name is Missy Maiorano, and I am a Certified Change Coach with a passion for helping people who struggle with anxiety, fear, or depression related to chronic or acute physical health challenges. I hope my videos will point you in a direction of healing and peace. I, myself, struggled with anxiety, chronic hives, and facial swelling. Now, I am grateful for each of those things because they helped me see a much greater perspective on life, love, freedom, and lasting peace.

Ep 89: A Letter to my brain...
This is a letter I wrote to my brain, similar to the one I wrote to my body last January. I shared it with Office Hours today and was asked to please make a video of it...so here it is. I hope it shines a fresh light on our innocent devotion to the brain and its misinterpretations of how we're doing and how life is going.

Ep 88: The Shame we feel about anxiety...
มุมมอง 8314 วันที่ผ่านมา
One of the aspects of anxiety and panic that we often overlook is the experience of SHAME that most anxious people experience. This was my own experience, too, for decades...until something unexpectedly shifted. For the past few weeks, I have been researching brain science, especially as it pertains to anxiety, fear, and panic. And the one thing I keep running into is this common thread of SHAM...
Ep 87:The truth will set you free
มุมมอง 11321 วันที่ผ่านมา
One of my favorite Ted Lasso quotes is from the team therapist, Dr. Sharon. Dr. Sharon tells Ted, "The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off." : ) Indeed, the truth...which is impossible to name but so wonderful to point in the direction of is incredibly light, expansive, and freeing. AND, the little ego that voice in the head that pretends to be you is much more interested in...

Since we don't have Office Hours tomorrow (It's Thanksgiving here in the US), I wanted to share this poem that I wrote for my Compassion group that meets on Mondays. I hope it resonates with you as you take a moment to be still, quiet....and simply breathe in the words. Happy Thanksgiving to all of you here in the US, and I look forward to seeing you next Thursday when Office Hours resumes. Lov...
Ep 84: Resting in Our True Nature
มุมมอง 882 หลายเดือนก่อน
We've been conditioned to believe that focusing MORE on "me" MY health, MY finances, MY habit, MY relationships is the path to healing and awakening. But what if the opposite is true. One of my favorite quotes is "Gratitude liberates us from the prison of self-preoccupation." What if the natural falling away of the focus on "self" is paradoxically the most healing and practically helpful thing ...
Ep 83: The Quest to Feel Better about Yourself

Ep 77: Irrational Fear and Phobias
มุมมอง 903 หลายเดือนก่อน
Phobias and irrational fears are so near and dear to my heart because, like many people, I once BELIEVED that my phobias were ruining parts of my life. And I had a list of evidence a mile long... But, what I came to see was that my "irrational fears" were really just amazing opportunities to see something so much greater about who I am beyond a lifetime of conditioning and judgements.

We humans sure are hard on ourselves, aren't we? We berate ourselves in the name of "doing better" and "BEING better." Our adorable little minds are SO compelling and convincing that our behavior MUST stop or else.... But this loop of shame, regret, and guilt only serve to hold patterns of behavior in place. What if there is a lighter, softer, more compassionate way to meet behavior...and ALLOW...

Thank you❤
You're quoting a man that was literally killed for trying to fight hate with love.

@@missymaiorano Have fun kissing people's boots.
The sense of shame can be so omnipresent. Thank you for reminding me that shame, like everything else, can dissolve as we look at it from a new perspective. And so good to see your lovely face xx
@@Vee3105 oh I just adore you!! And yes-that undercurrent of shame can be so subtle in its lurking….and it dissolves like everything else in the simple noticing. ♥️
@@missymaiorano 💓
Very helpful
SO glad this resonates, Elliot. ❤
Perfect timing as always ❤️
I’m so glad it resonated ❤ When we begin to see the story of shame for what it is-a mind’s program running in the background-we can begin to hold it a little more loosely…everything can begin to change. ❤
Another great reminder. Thanks Missy. I live in Los Angeles and the past week and a half was pretty scary with the fires. I work in Brentwood and we had to be closed for a few days because of evacuation warnings. And where I live I'm on the border of an evacuation warning (I actually got two evacuation warnings.) My brain had a field day with scary stories and "what ifs." Brought me back to when I was part of the Little School of Big Change community during the COVID lockdown. I was keenly aware of the stories of the brain and just welcomed it all. Every time I'd feel tightness in my chest and a knot in my stomach I'd know that this is showing me that I'm buying into the story. And of course, the deeper story is the brain thinking it won't be able to handle the worst case scenario. I welcomed the fear and knew that whatever happens I'll get through it. I don't know how, but I will. Of course none of the worst case scenarios my brain predicted happened to me but even if they did, somehow life will live through me and do what needs doing. I hope this made sense and my heart and prayers go out to all that lost their homes. Anyways, I'll forever be grateful for you, Amy, Amanda, and everyone else in the LSBC community who helped me see that there's a difference between the story and reality. Thanks again for the great video.
I'm so happy to read that you are SAFE and that even in the midst of the scary experience of the fires, you were able to remember that you are ALWAYS able to handle the reality of anything...just the stories make it seem impossible. I love that so much. It's a reminder that we ALL need, including myself: Stories are not the same as reality. It's such a helpful reminder. Thank you for sharing all of this...and I love that we were in LSBC together. It changed my life. Sending you so much love in LA. Love, missy
Thank you Missy. This is so what I needed this afternoon. As I was listening, I was slowly drifting off becoming so relaxed as my mind stopped ruminating.
Thank you so much for letting me know! Isn't it so amazing how truth shows up in the body as deep relief and relaxation...I'm so glad we're on this journey together. 🥰
Thank you Missy❤ Love you soooo much!
@@kirjahorst2549 you’re so welcome, beautiful Kirja!! And I love you, too!! So grateful for this exploration with you. ♥️
Lovely observation and a pointing in the direction of truth 🙏
My lovely Tony, what a JOY to be in this exploration with you...and to continually, with grace and love, point each other always toward truth. You are one of my most favorite humans to share this earth with...
Thank you, as always, Missy. May we all live in this truth.
@@jangoodwin4196 so wonderful to hear from you, Jan, and even more wonderful to walk this miraculous pathless path with you. ♥️ What a blessing.

Thank you!!!❤
Beautifully shared go well young lady 🙏
So beautiful. And just what I needed to hear, thank you. I hope you have an amazing Thanksgiving. I'm deeply thankful for you xx
Happy Thanksgiving 🙂
Thank you so much for your wisdom. This brought tears to my eyes as I navigate the "sting" of regret and envy. <3 much love.
I'll be playing that on repeat over the next 24 hours...thanks for sharing
❤❤❤
Beautiful. Thank you Missy. Happy Thanksgiving
I’m seeing more and more that my experience is very much in flux - that rumination creates suffering and there’s no answer to the “problem” in the same that creates the problem. Seeing this clearly literally stops the story in its tracks. And even if it doesn’t, I know that it will change and that buying into it only creates suffering and doesn’t actually solve anything.
Edit: Same thinking that creates the problem***
@@loreleigold8017 brilliant, Lorelei!! I love how much you are seeing this… The freedom and peace are never in the solving and figuring out. ♥️
Wow, I love this! Really resonated with me. What if it’s the end of the preoccupation with self where my true well-being sits?
@@robp2701 Hi, Rob! I’m so glad this resonates. It’s one of the first insights I ever had in my healing journey. The less “me” focus, the more Life, Love, Joy, Peace there was. ❤️
What about physical illness that seems to have been caused by chronic stress and trauma. Is it to just feel all the sensations and emotions? Thank you.
What a wonderful question, Sarah. ❤ It is so common (and conditioned almost universally) to want to differentiate illnesses caused by trauma or stress from other illnesses. But what if we’re only ever dealing with the experience that is arising RIGHT NOW, in this present moment. When we stay in this moment, the current experience -sensations, emotions, etc. are able to be experienced cleanly, without the added time travel story of “what happened in the past that got me here” (which is inherently shrouded in shame, regret, and remorse). When we’re less focused on the how and why this current experience is whatever it is, there is a lightness and a grace in fully feeling what wants to arise. It becomes simpler, more straightforward. Lighter. Kinder. What is here now? Just now? Can you let this experience, without the story, have a seat at the table. Could it be here in service of you in a way that your mind cannot comprehend right now? Could this moment, exactly as it is, before the mind’s judgments and stories, be part of your greatest healing? ❤️❤️
I love this so much. Thank you, Missy 🦋💞
Oh, I am so glad this resonated with you, Magda. It's one of my faves, too. Thank you for taking the time to write your reply. With love, missy🥰
Thanks for answering my question ❤. The icky is like an alarm bell that lets me know I’m out of touch with my true nature. Thank you as always! You are amazing.

You are so welcome, my awesome JoJo!!! ❤❤❤
OMG, I’m in tears, Thankyou so much Missy!You describe the shame of it so well. This didn’t give my brain what it wanted, it did something much better. Beyond all my thinking I felt a connection with something else.
@@robp2701 oh I’m SO happy this resonated…AND that it didn’t give your brain what it wanted but pointed to something even better…freedom, peace, and grace.♥️♥️ Thank you for taking the time to reply. With love, Missy
When you said something like you thought shame and regret were your teachers that resonated so much with me. My therapist has mentioned something similar to me like I feel I need to punish myself or feel guilty all of which drives me even more into the behavior I don't want to do. But when you said it with this full-on story, it seemed to land more for me. Thank you.
Oh, I'm so happy to hear that this has landed with you in a deeper and more meaningful way, Kathleen. It's amazing what WANTS to open up within us when we see through those old, habitual (learned) stories of shame and regret. When we lose interest in those noisy, heavy, contracted stories, we naturally become more interested in the joy and light that are already here, right in our midst. Love, Missy
@@missymaiorano Yes and right away I think - it's going to take a long time for me to lose interest in the stories because they are so imbedded in my consciousness, but maybe not. Maybe that's just another story that I have - the story that I need to excavate every shame, regret thought before I'm free. Maybe I can be free in this moment and I'm feeling pretty free now. 😄
@@kathleenlane4827 yes!! And there is ONLY now. Be devoted to freedom. It’s here. It’s now. This is wonderful, Kathleen!❤️🥰
❤
Thank you for sharing this 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 so good! I resonate so much!
I'm so glad it resonates, Marcella. It's one of those messages I just want to shout from the rooftops. It goes against everything we've innocently been taught to believe. Each moment is a refresh button...endless do-overs. And with that felt-sense, behaviors are allowed to keep moving down the river. Our words and actions change all by themselves as our inner landscape changes. I just adore you, Marcella. Thanks for the kind words. 😘
Thanks Missy! Such an important message. I'm currently going through some stuff(aren't we all!) but I know that sadness isn't something to try to get rid of. I let it stay as long as it needs to. It's part of the human experience and isn't permanent either.
@@5-minuteBreakthroughs I’m so glad this resonated with you! And yes! You’re right-aren’t we ALL going through something? Isn’t it nice to know we’re still deeply OK in the midst of the sadness?♥️ By the way, I LOVE your video on social anxiety! I just shared it with a few of my clients!🥰
@@missymaiorano Glad the social anxiety vid helped! One of the next videos is going to be about something that Amy always says, that the brain is not the all wise machine we think it is. That's always stuck with me and has helped so much.
@@5-minuteBreakthroughsyour videos are awesome, so I’m looking forward to their next one!
@@missymaiorano Thanks. I'm actually experimenting with different animation styles at the moment. So the style will look different in the upcoming videos.
I always knew you'd be a great coach! Always loved your insights.

and when they are dark nights of the soul for decades, with drowning of, from the bubbles that suffocate me - I'm no lightweight with suffering, sleepless nights not due to the 'mind racing' but from medical neglect during critical condition and no one in the house - 6 months of incontinence, not breathing right, heart issues, but it led me to the cross, Jesus, and He saved my life miraculously , but thriving was another nightmare, however, it led to paths I'd never have known, learned, or unlearned what I needed to with out it. Not a stranger to it all -- good, bad and ugly. Loneliness deep longing during deep suffering and physically dysregulated nervous system on top of everything. Doing life alone with very heavy circumstances is overwhelming but I gotta tell you, you are awesome and I resonate with you big time on the 'embrace it all' thing...YES YES YES! Most people who do this work, are pie in the sky la la land and that's invalidating and delusional. Thanks for being real
Hi, Jennifer, I am so glad this resonated. Your lovely and heartfelt reply certainly resonated with me! I can sense the deep freedom and grace you feel. And yes, we never want to dismiss the very real experiences of suffering and hopelessness. I was there for a long season. I wasn't sure I would make it through. But, like you, I was able to UN-learn so much upside down conditioning from our culture. There was a gentle leaning INTO the very things that my mind had labeled "awful" and "too much." Once there was a readiness to embrace all of it, everything began to shift. That was the healing space all along. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your beautiful journey here. Love and Grace, Missy
