What if one important shift in how you work with your mind could make self-healing feel easier and help you begin creating results more quickly?
In this powerful episode, Brandy shares an insight that became pivotal in her own healing journey—and later helped a beautiful volunteer named Sheridan begin creating a remarkable shift.
Sheridan had spent more than 20 years in personal development and had been trying for decades to release deep emotional hurt. At the same time, she was experiencing such severe physical pain that she estimated she spent approximately 90% of her time in bed.
She was deeply committed to healing.
She was genuinely trying.
But there was an important piece she had not yet been shown.
During their session, Brandy helped Sheridan begin working with her mind in a different way, and she was able to reduce her reported pain from a level eight to a level three.
In this episode, you will discover:
• One pivotal insight that may help make self-healing feel easier
• Why trying harder is not always what creates a different result
• What helped Sheridan begin shifting after decades of personal development
• Why the way you work with your mind matters
• What fascinating mind-body research can reveal about rapid change
• How one counterintuitive shift may change what feels possible
This is not about ignoring painful experiences, suppressing emotions, or pretending the past did not happen.
It is about understanding the mind at a deeper level so you can begin working with it in a way that supports greater healing, progress, and transformation.
Sometimes, one new insight can change the entire way you approach self-healing.

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, and 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
You know, one of the things that bothers me the most about self-healing or personal development is that all of that time I’ll see people who have been on the healing journey for 10, 20, 30, 40 years or more and still haven’t gotten the results, and they’re still in pain and struggling. And in fact, I worked with a beautiful volunteer today who was in that same place, who was in this place where she’s been literally experiencing so much pain and extreme pain that she mentioned she’s 90% of the time in bed, and it’s gotten worse and worse and worse.
Now, the thing of it is, is that when we stop and look at the mind-body connection for a moment, if we really just understand it, so often people are making it feel mysterious, like it’s elusive and it’s, it’s, it’s so mysterious. But when we really simplify it for a moment and we think about it, you know, if somebody’s embarrassed, their face turns red.
We know that. So we can see the mind-body connection. Or somebody can feel anxiety, and they can have a panic attack, so we can see the mind-body connection. Or somebody can experience the feeling of a broken heart, you know, extreme broken heart and die of a broken heart, so we can see the mind-body connection.
Now, unfortunately, what I see happen is so often people get caught up in the elusive stuff, whether it’s elusive or they’re working with the mind in a way that is keeping them stuck, and so they’re struggling. And that was the very issue today with the beautiful volunteer that I worked with. Her name is Sheridan, and she’s an absolute sweetheart.
And even when I connected with her, it was just this, the feeling of like she was mentioning, you know, she’s been in so much pain that she can’t sleep, that she finally sleeps for 20 minutes and then moves and then… or something happens, and then she wakes up 20 minutes later because the pain is so sharp.
Now, what I really love about today’s episode, though, and, uh, session in connecting with her, is that she was able to take her pain from a level eight to a level three in a very short period of time. You know, during our session, she was able to do that Now, how did she do that? That’s what I want to share with you because it takes working with the mind in a different way.
And so that’s what I want to unpack, is I want to share with you some insights from our session because if you stop and think about it for a moment, is when I connected with her, she had been working with her mind for over, well over 20-plus years. And one of the things that came up is as soon as I connected with her, we started talking about her pain and, and what was going on.
But ultimately, what I found was that she had had a lot of hurt from her past relationship, which ended 35 years prior. She had all of this pain, emotional pain, hurt, anger, upset going on. Now, the thing of it is, is she had been working on it and working on it and working on it, and she said, “Brandy, I just cannot seem to let it go.”
So she had been trying and trying and trying. Now, likely, if you’ve been in the self-healing personal development world for a long time, you’ve probably heard people do that all the time, where people are working on past patterns or past hurt or childhood trauma or whatever it is, and they feel stuck. Now, that’s where she was.
She… It wasn’t she, that she wasn’t trying. She had been trying. She had been doing all of the things. She had been… She was desperate to get results. She was, so she was doing what she could. Now, what did I have her do to start shifting out of pain? I had her work with the mind in a different way, and that’s what I really want to emphasize to you, is if you stop and think about it for a moment, is that when we can work with the mind in a different, different way, we get a different result.
And that was one of the biggest insights that shifted my life during my injury because I, just like her, had been working with all of the things and the frequency and r- in my life, you know, the affirmations, the meditations, the theta, the… You, you name it, all of the things, and it wasn’t working And so what jolted me, what really opened my eyes, is multiple personality disorder, and you hear me talk about it.
If you’ve listened to my work, you hear me talk about it all of the time. Why? Because I could see with multiple personality disorder research, with multiple personality disorder, where a person could shift from one personality to another and their illness would change like that. A different personality could have a completely different illness.
In fact, there was even a woman who was medically blind in one personality and not another. What did that tell me? That they didn’t have to spend years trying to get results, that they didn’t have to release all of the childhood trauma for changes to happen. And don’t get me wrong, yes, we want to release childhood trauma and whatnot, for sure, but they didn’t have to do that to get results.
They didn’t have to release stored emotions from the physical body. They didn’t have to sit with negative emotions. So all of the things, if you will, that I had heard, they didn’t have to do, and they could get results. So that’s what really made me dive in and say, “Okay, wait a second. Let me understand more about this.
How can they create such a radical shift?” And so of course, with multiple personality disorder, somebody has different, a different mindset, so they’re really shifting in the moment, and that made me want to figure out how to shift my mind in the moment. Now, by the way, if you haven’t heard me talk about multiple personality disorder before and, and the research on it, what’s fascinating is that it was consistent with the mindset, meaning that one person With the multiple personality disorders, like personality number one always had the same illness.
Personality number two, a different illness. Personality number three could have a completely different illness, and personality four could have a, a lot of trauma, but no illness. And so my point is, is just that it was consistent, so it… You could see that it followed the mindset. Now, what I did with our beautiful volunteer Sheridan today is this.
One p- big pivot, if you will. Now, there were multiple things, don’t get me wrong, but one big pivot was to have her start looking forward at what life would look like moving forward if she knew it was going to be great. Why do I say this? Just the emphasis every single day of my life, every day since I’ve healed, probably not every day, maybe not on weekends, all of the time, I see people who are so addicted to going into past trauma.
They’ve heard you’re supposed to go in the ba- past trauma. They sit with the past trauma, and their health issues just continue to get worse, or they’re not getting through the emotional patterns. They’re not changing. They’re stuck. And so even when I connected with Sheridan, that’s where she’s like, “I’ve tried and tried and tried and tried to let it go.”
Now, think about this. Divorced or s- from her husband 35-ish years ago and still so much anger, so much hurt, so much upset. And I asked her one thing, that I said, “Look at…” She was talking about how she was s- stuck, and she’s tried, and she’s tried to get rid of the negative. And I said to her, I said, “Look at…”
I said, “Look, if you knew that you were going to have an amazing relationship moving forward, if you knew that life was going to get better and better and better and better and more amazing, if you absolutely 100% knew that, 100% sure you knew that for sure, for sure, how hard would it be for you to let go of the anger?”
She’s like, “Oh, it’d be easy. I’d let it go. Done.” Done. Okay? It’s done. And so point is, is that for her to start shifting, what I had to do was exactly that, is start moving her mindset forward in a new way. And so I want to invite you to really think about what that looks like in your life because o- of course, our thoughts help create our lives, right?
But either way, from this plate of, place of, of hurt, of guilt, of upset, of anger, of feeling rejection or unloved and lonely- And she was stuck there. And so, you know, one of the things… There was, there were so many insights, but when, once we started really shifting her mind to move forward and to start letting go of the anger, but it was really about being able to shift her mind forward.
Like, if she expected and knew that things were going to get better, how easy would it be to let it go so much easier? Okay? So of course, it does take in programming. It does require programming. There were other key insights as well, but that’s the insight that I want to share with you. Because even as I was working with her, literally what was happening is that part of her would want to go back to the past.
And so I’d interrupt, and I’d say, “Wait a second. Wait a sec. Wait a sec. We need to go forward. We need to go forward.” Why? Because I was trying to, of course, keep her out of the pain and get her mind to work in a different way, and that’s part of the reason that I’m emphasizing this so much, is so often even when I talk to people about this and, and share it, like they think, but they’ve been so programmed to go to the past.
It’s like the brain is stuck going in the past over and over and over again. And yet, when they start working with it in a different way, all of the time, all of the time, I’ll see people start creating that shift, that shift releasing pain. So to go from a level eight of pain to a level three, amazing for her to do.
And of course, I want to be clear, it does take follow-through. So if she goes back into the negative, it’s going to come back, and that’s my point, is just the awareness that to really get different results, we have to work with the mind in a different way. And from my heart, I just… I, you know, I know what it’s like to be stuck for years and years and years and years and years.
And when you stop and think about it for a moment, you start to see that if we can just work with the mind in a different way, we can get faster results. It’s incredible. It’s incredible. That’s the reason that I’ve shown results under medical equipment back to back to back, because I want everybody to see what we’re capable of.
Now, does that mean don’t get rid of past emotion, past trauma, and past negative patterns? No. It’s very important to get rid of past trauma and negativity, but let’s be honest, it’s easier to do if you’re not in pain. It’s easier to do if you’re feeling better. So even when I worked with my own mind, as I started really shifting my own mind, and my pain went away, and my body started healing, I didn’t stop there.
I said, “Okay. Well, let me make sure to get rid of these patterns all of the way.” And by the way, if you listened to, um, even an episode, uh, that, that I recently did with a beautiful volunteer, Toni, uh, episode 349, uh, I worked with beautiful volunteer who had had metastasized cancer throughout her body, uh, um, in her bones and in her liver.
And, and, and she, she made some incredible changes and Doctors can’t find any cancer in her body at all now. And so, and she did it, an absolutely incredible job, and I talked about that a couple episodes ago. But my point is, is even in that, even as she healed and she’s, she’s changing her life and doing all incredible things, which is fantastic, I mentioned she’s got to make sure, of course, to follow through to get things gone completely.
And that’s the em- the, what I want to emphasize is, you know, i- is exactly that. So I think sometimes when I say we have to move things forward first, it’s because we have to start creating that shift in our mindset. Then people will think, “Oh my gosh, I’m gonna overlook the childhood trauma, or overlook this or that.”
And, and, but it’s n- it, we do still want to get rid of it. And, and let’s be honest. Also, there are plenty of people with extreme childhood trauma who aren’t physically sick. You know? So if you think about it for a moment, if, if it was just trauma, if trauma was just the answer, then anybody with PTSD, severe trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, like anybody with severe trauma would be very, very, very sick.
That’s not the case. There are plenty of people who unfortunately have trauma who are not physically sick. And so it’s not just trauma. Trauma isn’t just the answer. It’s also creating the change. It’s, it’s changing your mindset. It’s, you know, having something to look forward to, really feeling that. There, there are keys in working with the mind, specifics in working with the mind to create that change, and one of those is being able to really look forward to something in life and to feel that.
And so there were, of course, other things that I worked with her on. If you’d like to listen to the actual session, you can do so. The link is in the show notes. And sh- you, you’re absolutely going to love her. She’s an absolute sweetheart. It’s just, the reason that I emphasize this is just every single day, right?
Every day, all of the time, and maybe, again, not, maybe not weekends, so I like to be, I always want to be impeccable with my words, so maybe it’s not weekends or whatnot, but all of the time, we’ll put it that way, I see people who are stuck in the past, working on the past, and feeling tortured and feeling stuck and feeling in pain, and if they could just work with the mind in a different way, they can get the results.
And so that’s why I want to emphasize that. I just, I know what it’s like. I’ve been there, done that for years, years, and years, and years, and years. And so from my own heart, my own experience, and, and she very much reminded me of, of, of course, my situation was completely different on what was going on with mine.
If, if you know my story, then you know I had to deal with survivor’s guilt and different things like that. But my point is just I know what it feels like to feel stuck. And so just in working with her, just that, that feeling of just- wanting to get results ’cause you can feel that feeling from her where there’s that desperation to just get results and yet her mind has been so programmed to just keep going back to the past over and over and over.
And so her desperation of wanting to heal, wanting to change, wanting to get the results mixed with her mind programming of always going to the past over and over and over is just keeping her stuck. And so creating that change, that’s the insight that I want to share with you. Moving things forward in a beautiful way, in a brilliant way because the more you do, the more, of course, you can create an even better and better life.
You know, our thoughts do help create our lives in a very grounded, real way and in an incredible way. And so of course, the more for her as she’s changing her mind, her life, her mindset, her emotions to live in an even better life. That, of course, is my hope for you and for everyone and for our beautiful volunteer.
And so those are the insights that I want to share today. And as always, please do take just a quick moment to hit the share button on this episode. You know, if you think about our beautiful volunteer being able to create that shift in pain even in a very short period of time, what we are capable of is absolutely incredible.
So that is my hope for you and for everybody. So please do take just a quick moment to hit the share button and please do make a point to have an incredible rest of your day. And by the way, if you’re wanting a free training on how mind body healing works, how I’ve been able to show results under medical equipment, there is a link in the show notes so that is also available as well.
And so too is, um, her session where I worked with her if you’d like to listen to that as well. So again, it has been such a pleasure connecting with you. I wish you an incredible, amazing, wonderful rest of your day. I look forward to connecting with you on the next episode. We’ll see you there.
