    EP 296 Reconnecting to Yourself Through Microdosing and Natural Healing
    Apr 8 2026
    In this enlightening episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, Wize welcomes Kayse Gehret, a transformational wellness pioneer with over 31 years of experience. As founder of Microdosing for Healing, Casey has guided more than 1,400 people in 30 countries toward clarity, balance, and self-connection through earth-based and international practices. Together, Speaker A and Speaker B embark on a deep conversation about the journey of healing, the misconceptions around wellness, and what it really takes to reconnect with yourself in an increasingly disconnected world. An Origin Story Rooted in Healing The episode opens with Casey’s personal story, tracing her childhood desire to pursue a healing profession. She initially started on a conventional path toward becoming a doctor, studying pre-med, before a significant turning point led her to California and alternative medicine. Casey shares how energy work, body work, and somatic practices gradually became her life’s passion, eventually leading to the creation of her global community (02:08). Her early experiences—including the trauma of losing her father to suicide and the challenges within her family—sparked a curiosity in psychology and human health that has shaped her approach (04:06). She speaks candidly about how a sense of purpose, combined with a personal “blueprint,” led her to recognize her calling from a young age. Navigating Stigma and Skepticism Casey recounts the skepticism she faced when transitioning from conventional medicine to alternative practices, especially during the early years when energy work and body work commanded little respect. This experience primed her for the challenges of working with psychedelics and natural medicines, specifically microdosing with psilocybin mushrooms (05:07). Casey describes growing up during the Reagan-era “Just Say No” campaign, surrounded by stigma and misinformation about psychedelics, and shares her own cautious approach informed by personal health concerns like a seizure disorder (07:52). She explains that microdosing appealed to her as a gentle, sub-threshold practice, more akin to taking a supplement than a mind-altering drug. Unexpectedly, it brought significant healing: her seizure disorder disappeared, her nervous system recalibrated, and her skepticism transformed into advocacy. Over six years, Casey has watched the stigma around microdosing fade, replaced by curiosity and open-minded questions (08:51). Challenging Pharmaceutical Dependence A major theme emerges around the dominance of pharmaceutical companies in traditional media and medicine. Speaker A and Speaker B emphasize that many remedies simply create lifelong dependency without true healing; microdosing and natural methods, by contrast, trigger the body’s innate healing capacity (10:25). Casey clarifies a common misconception: mushrooms and microdosing do not foster dependency but rather assist and unleash intrinsic self-healing mechanisms. Her own experience proves that the benefits persisted even after stopping microdosing (10:58). Global Healing: Similar Struggles, Shared Humanity Having worked with people in over 30 countries, Casey reflects on the surprising similarities in healing struggles across cultures (13:06). Despite local differences, fundamental issues are universal: a longing for connection, spirituality, and supportive communities. She describes the profound impact of helping individuals in places where discussing spirituality or mystical experiences remains taboo, illustrating how her work facilitates deeper cross-cultural healing. The Power of Intention and Mindset Intentional practice and mindset are highlighted as essential components of transformation, particularly when working with psychedelics. Casey explains that these substances act as “non-specific amplifiers,” magnifying what is already within a person (14:26). The medicine alone can help, but coupling it with community, guides, or therapists is far more effective. She stresses the importance of setting clear intentions and lifestyle practices to maximize the healing journey (15:33). Disconnection: The Root of Modern Struggles Casey identifies disconnection—from self, others, and the earth—as the underlying cause of many modern challenges (16:00). People are drawn to healing practices not always knowing why; for many, it’s an unconscious desire to reconnect with their true self and purpose. She notes that media and societal forces often promote numbing and obedience, making disconnection easier and awakening harder (17:01). Reconnection, she says, is key to regaining creative, conscious agency in life (17:14). Content Creation and Community Building The episode also explores the vital role of independent media and content creation in uplifting and empowering individuals (18:03). Speaker A shares his journey creating his own internet radio station and his mission to focus on positive, meaningful talk content. Casey encourages ...

    EP 295 Huddle for Success, Mindset, and Building Your Playbook for Life
    Apr 1 2026
    In this empowering episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Speaker A welcomes Mark Bruce and Duane Gibbs from Huddle for Success, a dynamic duo with over 70 years of combined experience in business coaching, high-performance strategies, and entrepreneurial mentorship. Their mission? To help professionals and entrepreneurs break through plateaus, rewire their mindset, and craft extraordinary results, both in business and in life. Mark Bruce, who achieved financial independence by the age of 36 via real estate and franchising, and Duane Gibbs, a veteran coach who has spent three decades guiding leaders to smash limiting beliefs, offer a practical, motivating roadmap for anyone ready to reinvent themselves or uplevel their goals. What You’ll Discover in This Episode The Power of Mindset From the start, Speaker A delves into Mark's unique journey—launching his first business at 26 and semi-retiring by 36. Mark credits his success to a foundation laid by his father, a lifelong sports coach, and the consistent influence of entrepreneurial mentors throughout his upbringing (01:42). He highlights how early exposure to personal development books like Think and Grow Rich and The Magic of Thinking Big fostered a can-do attitude and goal-oriented mindset, further amplified by the support and drive of his equally motivated wife (02:45). Duane follows up with insights from 30 years of coaching high performers, revealing that the greatest mental barrier is often a sense of urgency—"time is running out"—and the desire for true choice and autonomy in one's later career years (04:46). He points out that, for many, wealth and success are more about flexibility, fulfillment, and creating time, not just accumulating dollars. Why Success Is a Team Sport Mark and Duane passionately discuss their use of sports language—huddle, playbook—and why these metaphors are so vital. Drawing parallels between athletic and business performance, Mark stresses that, much like in sports, success is never a solo endeavor. Even "individual" athletes have an ecosystem of coaches, trainers, and supporters; similarly, entrepreneurs and professionals benefit immensely from mastermind groups and collaborative teams (05:42; 12:43). Duane relates the explosion in mastermind groups and collaborative spaces post-pandemic to the reality that collective brainstorming and problem-solving outperform even the most talented lone star. If you're the smartest person in the room, you're in the wrong room (17:44). Both guests highlight the crucial need for nurturing relationships, building networks, and never stopping learning from others. Mastering Belief and Overcoming Setbacks Drawing from Napoleon Hill’s core lesson that “belief is everything,” Duane and Mark detail their process for helping clients conquer self-doubt and limiting beliefs (06:53). By peeling back the layers, they help clients discover root pain points—which might stem from childhood programming or past failures—and then implement practical strategies to rewire for growth. They candidly share early mistakes that became life-changing lessons (such as Mark’s hard-won education in real estate cycles and Duane’s experience learning to separate emotion from investing), demonstrating that every setback is a seed for wisdom—if you’re willing to reflect and adapt (08:44; 10:29). The Truth About Real Wealth One of the episode’s standout segments tackles the misconceptions around wealth (23:43). For Duane and Mark, true wealth isn't tied to a dollar amount. Instead, "money is a result, not a cause." They urge listeners to define wealth based on what they want to experience—whether that’s more time, freedom, or the ability to take care of their loved ones. Real financial independence, they argue, comes from clarifying your personal “why,” tolerating the right level of investing risk, and building a life where work, relationships, health, and meaning are all in harmony. Goal Setting and the Power of Rituals Why do so many people set goals and never reach them? The duo breaks down common pitfalls—like setting uninspiring goals or focusing on what you think you can easily accomplish instead of aiming at big, “hairy, audacious goals” that truly ignite desire (21:13). They share techniques from Think and Grow Rich and modern coaching, such as daily affirmations, gratitude journaling, and visualizing your day each morning, to wire the subconscious for higher achievement (26:07). Reinvention at Any Age A recurring theme is that it’s never too late to reinvent yourself (30:38). Both Mark and Duane share relatable, vulnerable stories—stepping out of comfort zones, leaving lucrative careers, or launching new ventures later in life. Their message: If you listen to the inner call, silence the doubting “voice on your shoulder,” and take action before you feel ready, you’ll discover new levels of fulfillment and possibility.

  • EP 294 Unlocking the Secrets to Winning: Contest Queen Carolyn Wilman on Mindset and Strategy

    EP 294 Unlocking the Secrets to Winning: Contest Queen Carolyn Wilman on Mindset and Strategy
    Mar 19 2026
    In this inspiring episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes Carolyn Wilman, affectionately known as the "Contest Queen," to share her wisdom and insights on mastering sweepstakes and cultivating a winner’s mindset. Carolyn Wilman isn’t just an expert in sweepstakes—she’s a testament to the power of persistence, strategy, and believing in yourself. This memorable conversation dives deep into the world of contests, while also peppering in practical advice on mindset shifts, overcoming adversity, and building habits for long-term success. The episode opens with Wize El Jefe introducing Carolyn, highlighting her impressive credentials as an author, educator, and the founder of contestqueen.com. Carolyn’s journey into sweepstakes began not as a deliberate career move, but as a response to losing her job during the dot-com bubble. She candidly shares how stumbling upon an article about sweepstaking as a hobby changed her perspective, setting her on an unexpected path. Early on, she reveals a powerful truth: to win at sweepstakes—or anything in life—you first need to believe you can succeed. That mindset, she notes, is transferable to career, relationships, and personal growth. Listeners get a behind-the-scenes look at the realities of contesting. Carolyn recounts trying to win prizes as a child at office parties, then as a teenager dialing into radio shows—all precursors to her sweepstaking passion. She explains how entering sweepstakes turned from a hobby into a supplemental means of providing for her family, especially when traditional marketing roles became scarce. The heart of the episode delves into the strategies and discipline required for consistent wins. There's a common misconception that people who win contests are simply lucky. Carolyn debunks this notion, likening the process to starting a gym routine or, as Wize El Jefe adds, launching a podcast. Success, she emphasizes, isn’t instant or random—it’s a result of showing up every day, developing systems, and being consistent. Carolyn, for example, describes her daily sweepstakes process, including setting aside dedicated time, using specific email accounts, and leveraging sweepstakes aggregate sites. For those interested in sweepstakes, Carolyn shares actionable advice on getting started, including focusing initially on local contests, which often have better odds, and progressing from single "one and done" entries to more frequent, engaged participation. She breaks down the nuances of reading contest rules, understanding odds, and avoiding common rookie mistakes—like doom scrolling on social media instead of entering efficiently. The conversation broadens to encompass much more than winning material prizes. Carolyn and Wize El Jefe connect the dots between a success mindset in sweepstakes and in other areas of life—including podcasting, publishing, and personal development. Both recount the effort and setbacks involved in building something meaningful—be it writing and publishing books (complete with editorial hiccups and translation adventures) or launching and growing a podcast audience from scratch. Carolyn shares numerous anecdotes, including how some friends and family initially dismissed her hobby, only to change their tune once the prizes started rolling in. She highlights the value of community, mentioning sweepstake clubs—both in-person and virtual—where enthusiasts cheer one another on and share strategies and support. Practical tips abound, such as dedicating an hour a day to sweepstakes (and acknowledging it takes extra time as a beginner), the critical importance of reading the fine print in contest rules, and the value of investing in reputable sweepstakes sites. Carolyn also gives listeners a glimpse at her own multi-faceted business ventures—including her book publishing endeavors, her work helping companies design effective contests, and her impressive goal to publish a book a month. Mindset, however, is the golden thread running through the episode. Carolyn offers profound yet accessible advice on embracing change, persistence, and audacity—the "audacity to start a podcast, write a book, or believe in yourself." Wize El Jefe echoes these themes with reflections on his own podcasting journey, reinforcing the universality of these principles. Carolyn also introduces listeners to the Silva Method, a powerful tool for subconscious retraining, and encourages anyone feeling “stuck” to remember that all situations are temporary—good or bad, things will change. This episode is not just for would-be sweepstakes champions—it’s for anyone questioning whether they can achieve something big or break through a mental block. Carolyn and Wize El Jefe offer a relatable, motivational blueprint for transforming setbacks into victories, whether your goal is to win a car, start a podcast, publish your story, or simply move forward in life. In closing, Carolyn marks the 20th ...
