In this insightful episode of Heal Yourself, Change Your Life®, Brandy Gillmore reflects on a session with Lisa, a travel nurse who has spent much of her life caring for others. Lisa had tried conventional medical treatments, which helped some, but she had still been experiencing recurring low back pain and sciatica.
As Brandy breaks down key insights from the session, she explores a powerful and often overlooked pattern: feeling guilty for not giving enough, resting, or doing something for yourself—even when you’re already doing more than most. For Lisa, this pattern of self-sacrifice and fear of disappointing others was quietly operating beneath the surface, influencing both her emotional well-being and her physical symptoms.
This episode offers practical, eye-opening insights into how subconscious guilt and over-giving can impact the body, and why real healing often requires addressing these patterns at a deeper level. As you listen, you may begin to recognize similar dynamics in your own life—and discover how shifting them can open the door to greater ease, health, and happiness.

Welcome to Heal Yourself. Change Your Life. I’m Brandy Gillmore and what I’m most known for is helping people to create radical transformations and even demonstrating the power of the mind and self-healing under medical equipment so you can see the results and my work has even been published in a medical journal because it’s truly incredible what we are all capable of when we understand our own minds at a deeper level.
So whether you’re new to this work or you’ve been studying the power of the mind for many years. I love that you are here. I love that we’re on this incredible journey together, and I look forward to sharing breakthrough information with you. That said, on this podcast, I’ll share two types of episodes.
First, self-healing episodes, where I share key insights from working with live volunteers. And the second type are where I answer questions from the audience. That said, if you’d like to volunteer or submit a question, come visit me at BrandyGillmore.com. On that note, let’s dive in.
Hello and happy, beautiful day to you. I want to add in a quick but important note to make this podcast very easy to navigate because today’s episode has a special format. Today I worked with a live volunteer. As you probably know, there are a lot of people who are now using AI to modify information online.
For that reason, we have taken an extra step to help protect our beautiful volunteer and the integrity of this work to help keep the information from being modified. And we actually love how this turned out because it provides you with even more information. This is how it works. On today’s episode, you’ll hear an overview of the person that I worked with, and I will provide you with simple but powerful breakthrough insights that helped our volunteer begin making a radical shift.
Then at the end of this short breakthrough episode, if you are ready for a deep dive, you can click in the show notes to gain access to the actual self-healing session where I worked directly with the live volunteer. This enables us to help protect the information online from being modified. While still continuing to provide you with powerful information to help bridge the gap between science and spirituality and personal empowerment, because it’s truly incredible what you are capable of when you learn to understand your mind at a deeper level.
That said, let’s dive into the simple but powerful insights that came from working with today’s volunteer. Here we go.
All right, so today I worked with a beautiful volunteer. Her name is Lisa, and first and foremost, I think one of the many things that I just felt from her as I was working with her was just how beautiful her heart is. She just is so sweet and thoughtful and has spent a lot of her life taking care of others and giving to others that’s part of what’s going on with her is just that feeling of feeling even guilty if she’s not depleting herself or giving to others. And that’s ultimately. A key pattern that is impacting her. Now, before we dive in all of the way, I just want to give you a bit of backstory that one of the things that I also love about Lisa is that she’s a travel nurse, and I love seeing that more and more people are really becoming aware of how incredible our minds are and how much the mind actually impacts the physical body. So I love that. Now a bit more information about Lisa. She has been experiencing low back pain and sciatica, and that’s what she’s been struggling with now. She did have surgery a few years ago, which helped a lot.
However, the issue has now flared up again, and so she’s had steroid injection and that helped. And yet. The issue doesn’t seem to be completely resolved. She was still experiencing some low level back pain, and so that’s ultimately what we were exploring is back pain, but also looking at her life in general and how she could bring in even more positivity and feel better in her life and there were several things that came up for her, but one of those key things had to do with the pattern of guilt. Even when it didn’t make any sense. So I mentioned, that she is a travel nurse and so she was feeling guilty about traveling because her daughter has two young children. And so she was feeling this feeling that she needed to be there at every moment, and yet she was there a lot.
She was connecting with the children. She was still going to see the children and visiting and calling and connecting. So it was like she felt as though. She needed to be with her daughter 24/7, and she also felt guilty about a relationship with somebody who also traveled a lot. So she had just all of these feelings of guilt and feeling afraid that people were going to be mad at her and in her life she became a mother at a very young age, so she’s never felt like she could really do something. For herself. And so she was just struggling with all these inner emotions of feeling guilt and feeling bad for things even when it didn’t make logical sense. And that’s the insight that I really want to highlight from this particular session and the reason for that is because so often people can feel guilty for a variety of different reasons, and it can impact your health, your life, your happiness. I mean, even in my own life. I had survivor’s guilt, which impacted me.
Now, of course, it doesn’t make logical sense to feel guilty for surviving and being happy, and yet survivor’s guilt can be common and that’s my point is that so often we can have underlying patterns of guilt and we can suppress them or not even realize that they’re there and they can impact us in a variety of different ways. And so I just really want to highlight that now people can feel guilt for different reasons. In my own life, I felt like we were supposed to die for others, and that was the most noble thing to do and if you weren’t willing to die for others, it was embarrassing. So I felt guilty for a different reason in that I was doing something, quote unquote, that I shouldn’t be doing, and so I felt guilty for that, and that you shouldn’t be happy at all in your life if other people are going through hardship and so there were really multiple pieces. Now in Lisa’s case, there is a different type of, I guess, self-sacrifice type of feeling, and part of it has to do with a feeling of fear that people will be mad at her, but also a feeling that she can’t do for herself. She’s got to really put herself last and put other people first.
So hers is linked up in a different type of way, and so guilt itself can be a pattern. But we can also have different patterns that can make us feel guilty even if they don’t make logical sense. And so of course emphasizing that you really want to be specific with your mind and as you do and, really change these deeper patterns, it can open up more happiness. And so for that reason, when it does come to guilt, if you are experiencing that, you’d want to get very specific with the mind and identify what is going on. Because of course, patterns of guilt can affect your health, your life, your happiness. And the beautiful thing is, is when we change those, we can feel good in our body, in our being in life, and we can feel good about opening up to the next level of happiness, joy, love, connection, just enjoying.
Life at a bigger level when we really change these deeper patterns. And so that’s the reason that I really wanted to emphasize this and highlight this specific pattern and of course there were several other powerful insights from her session, but this is the one that I want to emphasize the most because it can affect literally every area of your life. And so often people have these. Patterns and then end up suppressing them. And then also don’t understand that we really need to rewire them in the subconscious mind to create that real change and so just if you’d like to listen to the entire session, you can do so by clicking on the link in the show notes for the members’ area, or if you’d like to gain a deeper understanding of mind body healing, there is also free training available as well and as always, I want to ask you to please do take just a quick moment to hit the share button on this episode.
