Strong doesn't mean being tough. Sometimes it simply means continuing to show up.

In this deeply personal episode, psychotherapist and Psyched-IN founder Karen Fagan shares her journey through stage four colon cancer and the relationships that shifted along the way.

Karen reflects on the weight carried in the question "How are you feeling?", the importance of choosing kindness even in the midst of hardship, and how illness can fundamentally change the way we see life and our connections with others. Her experience reshaped her understanding of strength and what it truly means to keep going. At the end of the day, she reminds us that your journey is yours, and everything unfolds in its own time.

A healthy body naturally craves healthier foods.

In this episode, we're joined by Jon Gabriel to talk about his personal weight loss journey that inspired his book, Eat Ice Cream, Lose Weight, and the powerful lessons he learned along the way.

Jon also shares why digestion tends to worsen as we age, how he discovered a more digestible and nutrient-dense approach to eating for sustainable weight loss, and why nourishing the body at a premium level can lead to life-changing results. We also explore the truth about fructose in fruit, the benefits of eating foods in their most natural form rather than processed, and why mindset and focus play such an important role in lasting weight loss.

Jon Gabriel holds a Bachelor of Science in Economics from the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania and completed advanced coursework in biochemistry, including research with renowned biochemist Jose Rabinowitz.

After years of unexplained weight gain that led to morbid obesity, a life-altering wake-up call in 2001—including narrowly missing United Airlines Flight 93—inspired him to apply his scientific background to uncover the real causes of weight gain.

The result was a remarkable transformation: Jon lost over 103 kilos without dieting or surgery, with minimal signs of prior obesity. He now dedicates his life to helping others achieve lasting weight loss and personal success. His story has been featured on A Current Affair, Today/Tonight, The Jane Pauley Show, Hard Copy, and Entertainment Tonight.

What's the one thing you can do to strengthen your intuition?

In this episode, we'll explore how to develop the intuition that already lives within you as we move into 2026, and how to gently remove the blocks that keep you from fully trusting it. I'll also share how I began listening to and working with my guides, and how discernment helped me understand who to keep close and where to deepen relationships.

As multidimensional beings, it starts by noticing subtle signals, acknowledging them without judgment, and identifying the beliefs that limit your trust in yourself. This is how inner wisdom grows and how confidence in your intuition is built.

Come and join me in The Alchemy Transmission - How to Develop Your Intuition in 2026: Trust the Inner Intelligence You Already Have.
