At 19, after becoming pregnant as a high school senior, she entered the dancing industry where societal pressures led her to get implants without understanding long-term health implications. ⚡ The Health Crisis (2023): After 5 years of intuitive knowing something was wrong, everything "went south" after her daughter's graduation party: • Chronic fatigue so severe she couldn't reach the kitchen • Shooting pains from neck down left arm with tingling and numbness • Electric shocks behind eyes, chest, and thighs during sleep • Blood pressure spikes triggered by refined sugar • Muscle fasciculations throughout entire body • Severe brain fog affecting work performance as a manager • Shortness of breath and feeling like "dying inside while looking normal outside"🌟 Immediate Post-Surgery Transformation (5 weeks out): • Chronic fatigue completely lifted • Muscle fasciculations dramatically slowed • Brain fog cleared - sharp mental clarity returned • Memory function restored - work performance improved instantly • Libido increased significantly after years of hormonal disruption • Physical sensation returned - ability to feel family's heartbeats during hugs • Dark under-eye circles disappeared the day of surgery • Shortness of breath completely resolved🙏 The Spiritual Component: Layci describes her explant as "prophetic" - a new chapter in her calling to minister to women and young girls.

From Struggle to Strength: Shelly Jean's Explant Journey | Wisdom Wednesday

Join host Nyomi Banks on this deeply moving Wisdom Wednesday episode of The Season of Self Love Podcast as she welcomes BII survivor Shelly Jean, whose powerful 3-year post-explant journey demonstrates the profound transformation possible when we choose healing over appearance. Shelly's story provides hope, practical wisdom, and honest insights for anyone considering explant surgery or supporting someone through their healing journey. What You'll Discover:  • The reality of living with BII symptoms for decades without knowing the cause • How the adult entertainment industry influenced her decision to get implants  • The connection between breast implants and various cancers • Why proper explant technique (en bloc capsulectomy) is crucial • The immediate and long-term benefits of explant surgery Shelly's Transformation Story: At 31, Shelly got implants to excel in her career as an entertainer at Solid Gold, a high-end Las Vegas-style club in Minneapolis. After 10 symptom-free years, she began experiencing mysterious health issues that doctors couldn't explain, leading to a "hypochondriac" label in her medical chart. The Health Crisis: • Libido loss and relationship struggles • Chronic fatigue and lethargy • Choking episodes and swallowing difficulties • Weight gain that wouldn't respond to diet or exercise • Brain fog so severe she couldn't remember where she parked • Uterine cancer (adenocarcinoma in situ) - unusual presentation outside the uterusLife-Changing Discoveries: Shelly found a Facebook group of 55,000 women with similar symptoms, leading to her BII awakening. After replacing her original implants in 2012 (using inheritance money from her deceased son), she experienced immediate symptom relief, confirming the implant connection. The Perfect Storm: During her healing journey, Shelly faced multiple traumas: her son's death the day before his 30th birthday, her husband leaving for a friend, her daughter's miscarriage, another son's imprisonment, and her cancer diagnosis - discovered only because her husband left and she wanted to date again. Current Reality - 3 Years Post-Explant: Shelly is experiencing some returning symptoms, believing remnants from her first implants weren't properly removed. This honest sharing shows that healing can be ongoing and that proper surgical technique is crucial. Immediate Post-Surgery Changes: • Memory returned to 80% capacity immediately • Mental clarity restored • Heart-to-heart hugs became possible again • Overall wellness dramatically improvedKey Insights: • "Every single implant has a silicone lining" - saline implants are equally toxic • "160,000 women in one Facebook group" - the scope is massive • "Don't treat symptoms, find the source" - her approach to medical care • "The heal is real" - their shared mottoPractical Advice: • Research proper explant surgeons who perform en bloc capsulectomy • Don't compare your healing journey to others • Document symptoms with dates and times for doctor visits • Be your own advocate - don't let doctors gaslight you • Consider explant surgery an investment in your health and futureResources Mentioned: • Robin Towt and Global Advocacy Coalition (gpacunited.org) • FDA black box warnings on breast implants • Multiple Facebook BII support groups • Laura Bowden as patient advocateThe Spiritual Component: Shelly's journey illustrates how physical healing intertwines with spiritual growth. Her gratitude practice and ability to find meaning in suffering demonstrate the holistic nature of true healing. Honest Warnings: • Recovery varies for everyone • Some Facebook groups can be fear-inducing • Proper surgical technique is crucial • Healing may be ongoing, not always immediateFinancial Reality: Shelly's surgery cost $14,000 without insurance coverage, emphasizing the need to view explant surgery as a health investment rather than cosmetic expense. Perfect for women experiencing unexplained health symptoms, those considering explant surgery, anyone in the adult entertainment industry facing health challenges, and people learning to trust their body's wisdom over medical dismissal. Episode Highlights: • Shelly's vulnerable sharing about returning symptoms 3 years post-op • The connection between implants and her unusual cancer presentation • Her powerful realization in the grocery store about memory loss • The importance of heart-to-heart hugs post-explant • Her advocacy for proper surgical technique and researchHashtags: #WisdomWednesday #ShellyJean #BIISurvivor #ExplantJourney #FromStruggleToStrength #BreastImplantIllness #TheHealIsReal #PreparingForTransformation #TrustYourBody #WomensHealth #AuthenticHealing #Rebirth2025 #HealingCommunity #ExplantSurgery #DrSood #NyomiBanks Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-season-of-self-love--6003379/support (https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/th...

Conquering Anxiety Before Medical Procedures: Preparing for Your ReBirth & Transformation | Final...

Join host Nyomi Banks and resident therapist Dr. Will Washington on this deeply personal final Mindset Monday episode of The Season of Self Love Podcast as they tackle one of the most universal yet rarely discussed challenges: managing anxiety before medical procedures. As Nyomi prepares for her explant surgery, this vulnerable conversation provides essential tools for transforming medical anxiety from paralyzing fear into empowering preparation. What You'll Discover: • Why medical procedure anxiety is completely normal and actually healthy • The difference between past trauma-based anxiety and current procedural concerns • Three essential practical tools for managing pre-surgery stress • How to distinguish between mind, body, and heart responses to medical anxiety • The importance of nervous system regulation during high-stress medical situations Nyomi's Vulnerable Sharing: Nyomi courageously opens up about her current 2 AM wake-ups filled with surgical anxiety, despite knowing her decision is right and trusting her surgeon. She also shares her powerful story of severe anxiety attacks during pregnancy - complete blackouts, shortness of breath, and psychosomatic reactions that required roadside emergency stops with her young daughter. Understanding Medical Anxiety: Dr. Will explains that anxiety around medical procedures is natural because it represents a moment when "your control is in the hands of someone you've just met" with outcomes you cannot control. The uncertainty triggers normal human responses - if you weren't anxious, that would be more concerning. The Anatomy of Anxiety Attacks: • Psychosomatic Reactions: When the mind and body disconnect, leading to physical symptoms • Dissociation: The mind says "I'm out" while the body tries to keep functioning • All-or-Nothing Thinking: One of ten types of distorted thinking that can trigger severe anxiety • The Loop Effect: Anxiety as separation from the present moment, like "fishing with no water"Nyomi's Transformation Story: From severe pregnancy anxiety attacks (complete with blackouts and emergency calls) to current manageable pre-surgery concerns, Nyomi shares how 22 years of spiritual growth, self-awareness, and healing work have transformed her relationship with anxiety. Her journey from industry retirement through spiritual awakening illustrates the power of intentional healing. Dr. Will's Three Essential Tools: 1. Bring Support: Have someone with you to help process medical information and share the emotional load 2. Do Your Research: Don't mystify the situation - learn about recovery, connect with others who've had similar procedures 3. Create New Engagement: Start a journal, hobby, or skill during the process to channel energy constructively rather than destructivelyKey Insights: • "We all have our own mental illness loop - some are bigger circles, some are smaller" • "Stress is the number one killer, but anxiety opens up your awareness to stress" • "The goal is to learn your mind, body, and heart as three different people" • "Nervous system regulation is key - it doesn't know how to reset without proper grounding"The Mind-Body-Heart Framework: Dr. Will emphasizes learning to recognize mind, body, and heart as three separate experiences, allowing you to sit in the center and make balanced decisions. This awareness is crucial for managing anxiety and practicing effective self-care. Practical Techniques Covered: • Grounding through awareness of room, relationships, and internal temperature • Ice therapy and temperature regulation for nervous system reset • Breathing techniques and guided meditation for pre-procedure calm • Journaling as a tool for processing and documenting the healing journeySpiritual Growth Through Challenge: Nyomi's story illustrates how medical challenges can become catalysts for spiritual awakening. Her pregnancy bedrest period became "the beginning of deep, deep healing" and her spiritual journey, showing how forced stillness can lead to profound self-discovery. Episode Highlights: • Nyomi's honest admission about 2 AM anxiety wake-ups despite surgical confidence • The powerful story of pregnancy anxiety attacks and roadside blackouts • Dr. Will's explanation of dissociation and psychosomatic reactions • The connection between past trauma and current medical anxiety • Practical tools for building a "calm kit" for medical proceduresPerfect for anyone facing upcoming medical procedures, those supporting loved ones through medical journeys, people dealing with medical anxiety or trauma, and anyone learning to manage stress and anxiety through spiritual and psychological tools. Episode Note: This episode was recorded while Nyomi was experiencing BII symptoms including the dry cough that affects her voice throughout the conversation, adding authentic real-time documentation to her healing journey.

Worldly Fear: Cultural anxieties about global events and societal changes 2. Relational Fear: Uncertainty about connections and relationships 3. Personal Self Fear: Questioning whether you're worthy enough to experience life fullyPractical Decision-Making Tools: • Start Small: Practice making daily decisions and sticking with them to build trust in your choices • Cause and Effect Thinking: Move beyond reward/punishment to understand true consequences • Pro-Con-Self Method: Include yourself in the middle of decision-making, not just pros and cons • Values Clarification: Major decisions challenge you to be accountable for what you truly valueMeditation and Mindfulness Guidance: • Release the inner critic and unrealistic expectations of what meditation "should" look like • Find your personal ritual rather than copying others • Allow thoughts to flow rather than forcing silence • Use visualization techniques that include cause-and-effect analysisDeep Conversations on Modern Challenges: • The difference between gratitude and entitlement in personal growth • How society teaches us to lose trust while asking us to grow faith • The impact of over-exposure to information and cultural fear • Why we're entitled to peace, rest, and authentic choicesVulnerable Moments: • Nyomi's honest sharing about brain fog and cognitive changes from BII • Dr. Will's powerful story about making difficult decisions that hurt others but freed his authentic self • The recognition that sometimes you must make unfavorable choices to be loved "the right way"Spiritual and Psychological Wisdom: • Faith as trusting that your existence is enough to be present • The journey from external hunger to internal awareness • How to navigate decisions when your values are being challenged • The importance of connection over attachment in emotional processingEpisode Highlights: • Nyomi's realization about trusting medical authority over her own body wisdom • Dr. Will's bathroom epiphany about CEO salary versus his worth • The discussion of entitlement versus privilege in personal boundaries • How to build decision-making muscles through daily practiceTransformative Realizations: • "Sometimes you have to make the choice that makes you look unappreciated for the moment so you can free yourself to be loved the right way" • "Your intuition is your superpower - the more you listen to it, the stronger it becomes" • "We are entitled to have our body at peace and choose how we want to feel satisfied"Perfect for anyone facing major life decisions, those learning to trust their inner wisdom, people struggling with fear-based choices, and anyone ready to move from external validation to internal knowing.

Freedom Friday: The Liberation of Living Your Truth - From Performance to Authenticity

Join host Nyomi Banks on this deeply vulnerable and transformative final Freedom Friday episode of The Season of Self Love Podcast before her extended break. In this raw and honest conversation, Nyomi shares her journey from performing who she thought she should be to embracing complete authenticity, while announcing her decision to step back from daily podcasting to honor her body's wisdom. What You'll Discover: • The exhausting cost of performing versus the liberation of authenticity • How to identify and remove the masks we wear to please others • The physical, emotional, spiritual, and relational costs of performance culture • Why authenticity can be threatening to those closest to us • Practical steps to transition from approval-seeking to truth-living The Masks We Wear: • The People Pleaser Mask: Saying yes when we mean no, making others comfortable while dying inside • The Perfect Woman Mask: Conforming to external standards of appearance and behavior • The Strong Woman Mask: Hiding vulnerability and refusing to ask for help • The Successful Woman Mask: Tying worth to achievements and the ability to "do it all"The True Cost of Performance: • Physical: Stress, inflammation, illness as the body's way of saying "this isn't sustainable" • Emotional: Losing touch with authentic feelings while managing others' perceptions • Spiritual: Disconnecting from inner wisdom and becoming strangers to ourselves • Relational: Others relating to our mask instead of our authentic selfNyomi's Vulnerable Revelations: • Recognition that she was still "carrying the mask in her hand" even after removing it from her face • The realization that her implants were her "costume that she couldn't take off" • How performing for 21-22 years created a prison of maintaining image over honoring truth • The discovery that those closest to us often resist our authenticity the mostThe Turning Point: Nyomi's powerful altar moment asking: "Who am I when no one is watching? Who am I when I'm not trying to be anything for anyone else? Who am I in my most natural state?" - hearing the voice of a woman who's been waiting patiently for permission to be herself. What Authentic Freedom Looks Like: • Speaking your truth even when your voice shakes • Setting boundaries that honor your wellbeing • Making decisions based on your values, not others' expectations • Embracing your natural body instead of conforming to external standards • Following intuition even when it doesn't make logical sense • Choosing relationships that see and celebrate your authentic selfPractical Freedom Tools: 1. Mask Inventory: Identify when and why you wear different masks 2. Values Clarification: Get clear on your core values for easier decision-making 3. Truth Practice: Start with smaller truths as practice for bigger ones 4. Boundary Boot Camp: Practice setting boundaries in low-stakes situations 5. Authenticity Audit: Regular check-ins asking "Am I being authentic right now?" 6. Support System Shift: Surround yourself with people who love your authentic selfMajor Announcement: Nyomi courageously announces her decision to step back from daily podcasting, honoring her body's wisdom as she prepares for explant surgery. This episode marks the last Freedom Friday until October, with limited episodes through September as she focuses on healing and authentic self-care.  The Ripple Effect of Authenticity: When you give yourself permission to be real, you give others permission too. Nyomi shares touching stories of women inspired by her vulnerability to start their own podcasts, embrace their scars, and reignite their passion for advocacy. Dr. Will's Mirror Moment: A powerful exchange where Dr. Will holds up a mirror, asking Nyomi if she's going to stop listening to her body after just discussing its importance - leading to her decision to truly honor her body's need for rest. Episode Highlights: • The recognition that authenticity can be "contagious" and inspire others • How those closest to us may resist our growth because it forces them to examine themselves • The beautiful moment with Nyomi's mother (who has dementia) making healing tea with pure love • The shallow moment of worrying about podcast rankings versus authentic self-carePerfect for anyone exhausted from performing, those ready to remove their masks, people struggling with authenticity in close relationships, and anyone needing permission to prioritize their wellbeing over external expectations.

When Your Body Becomes Your Teacher: Lessons in Trust and Surrender | Threshold Thursday Join host Nyomi Banks on this deeply transformative Threshold Thursday episode of The Season of Self Love Podcast as she shares profound insights about learning to trust your body's wisdom just days before her explant surgery. This powerful episode explores what happens when we stop resisting our body's messages and start honoring them as sacred teachings. What You'll Discover: • How to distinguish between your body's whispers and screams for attention • The difference between fear-based thoughts and intuitive body wisdom • Why symptoms are messages, not problems to eliminate • The curriculum of courage your body teaches through health challenges • How to become a willing student of your own inner wisdom Key Topics Covered: • The teacher you never asked for: when your body demands attention • Four crucial lessons from Nyomi's personal body curriculum • How medical systems teach us to override our body's signals • The difference between healing (addressing root causes) and curing (masking symptoms) • Why your body never lies and has perfect timingNyomi's Body Curriculum - Four Essential Lessons: 1. Paying Attention to Subtle Signs: Learning to hear whispers before they become screams 2. Distinguishing Fear from Intuition: Fear says "something terrible will happen," intuition says "something needs attention" 3. Surrendering Control: The hardest lesson for planners - trusting the process over outcomes 4. Healing vs. Curing: Addressing root causes rather than masking symptomsPractical Tools for Body Wisdom: • Daily check-ins: "What do you need today?" • Body scanning techniques throughout the day • Honoring your body's "no" even when inconvenient • Celebrating and following your body's "yes" • Creating boundaries that honor your wellbeingPowerful Insights: • Your body speaks in symptoms, energy levels, cravings, and rejections • Every experience is stored in your cellular memory • Your body remembers trauma but also remembers healing • True feminine power comes from honoring your authentic self, not conforming to external standardsThe Ripple Effect of Body Trust: When you trust your body's wisdom, you begin trusting yourself in all areas of life, making decisions from inner knowing rather than external pressure, and inspiring others to trust their own inner guidance. Episode Highlights: • Nyomi's reflection on 21 years of ignoring her body's messages • The shocking truth about how breast implants were created (from the Explant documentary) • Laura Bowden's 33-year journey of trusting inner voice without social media support • The sacred threshold between external authority and internal authorityTransformative Realizations: • "I am worthy of love and respect exactly as I am without external modifications" • "My value isn't in my appearance but in my essence" • "True healing requires surrender to not knowing exactly how things will unfold"Cultural Resistance to Body Wisdom: Our society teaches us to override body signals, prioritize productivity over rest, choose external appearance over internal wellness, and see symptoms as problems rather than protective messages. The Sacred Work: This episode emphasizes that learning from your body is sacred work - the work of coming home to yourself and reclaiming power from systems that never had your best interests at heart. Perfect for anyone experiencing unexplained symptoms, those preparing for major health decisions, people learning to trust their intuition, and anyone ready to shift from external validation to internal knowing. This episode provides both spiritual insights and practical tools for developing a trusting relationship with your body's wisdom.
