Surviving the War Zone and Healing in the Cold with Peter Williams

For over three decades, my dear friend Peter Williams worked as a camera journalist for CNN International and the BBC, traveling to over 50 countries and filming the absolute extremes of human conflict. But there is a profound systemic truth about trauma: the nervous system will often hold itself together during the war, only to collapse when the war is over. In today’s new podcast episode, Peter and I discuss his battle with full-blown PTSD after moving to the safe haven of Vancouver, and how he found profound somatic healing not in traditional spirituality, but by freediving in the freezing mid-winter Salish Sea. If you are interested in the intersection of high-stress environments, nervous system regulation, and non-traditional healing, this conversation is for you.

The Most Important Conversation You Will Have Today: A Live Interview With Your Body

The most important conversation you will have today: A live interview with your own body. Body: As a facilitator, I have found that sustainable change doesn't come from analyzing our problems - - it comes from regulating the system that holds them. I am pleased to share my latest podcast episode, where I guide listeners through a somatic process designed to be a "Guided Systemic Reset." Episode Title: Interviewing Your Nervous System In this session, we stop talking about trauma and start listening to the physiological responses that drive it. Production: Creator, Producer, & Host: Dr. Colli K. Christante I invite you to listen and share your thoughts on this approach. https://innerexpression88.podbean.com/e/the-architecture-of-the-pause-slowing-down-as-a-sovereign-act/ Believe Breathe Transform Collitalks Love and soul hugs #SystemicCoaching #TraumaInformed #NervousSystem #Podcast #MentalHealthAwareness

Is Your Nervous System "Deleting" Your Time?

IS YOUR NERVOUS SYSTEM "DELETING" YOUR TIME? Life can get chaotic really fast. It often seems as though every day brings endless demands—moving from one task to the next while managing internal distractions and the external noise of others. Over time, this constant pull on our attention does more than just tire us out. It creates what I call The Somatic Clinch. This clinch is a high-speed survival response that bookkeeps decades of carryover stress in your marrow. When you are clenched, your brain actually deletes the horizon. You feel as though time is constantly slipping away, yet your highest goals remain just out of reach. Slowing down is not an indulgence. It is a Sovereign Act. In the latest solo episode of Collitalks Transformative Conversations, I investigate the necessity of the pause. We move beyond "recharging" and look at the Physics of the Pivot. In this transmission, we explore: The Diagnostic: Why chronic stress creates a physical demand for speed that exhausts your Nectar. The Framework: A practical somatic protocol to Pause, Recenter, and Choose Again. The Audit: How mindful reflection and energy audits allow you to reclaim your attention and your resilience. The "Grey Grind" of survival is an expired blueprint. It is time for a reset of your nervous system. Listen to "The Architecture of Timing". Dr. Colli K.

The Architecture of the Return

The Architecture of the Return. "A deep thank you to The Club at Quail Ridge for the extraordinary reception during yesterday’s 'Wellness Wednesday' Masterclass. We prepared for an intimate session, but the field responded with an overwhelming presence. A Masterwork like this does not happen in a vacuum. It requires a dedicated architecture of support. My deepest gratitude to Robbie Ames, GM/COO at The Club at Quail Ridge. Seeing the dream we architected together in full bloom at Quail Ridge is the ultimate verification. To Savannah and Jessie for the seamless coordination and for holding the administrative gate so beautifully to ensure the message reached the members and for providing the clinical sanctuary and the 'Somatic Reset' that allowed the Architect to arrive on the throne with total clarity. To the members who stood in the back of the room to catch the 'Horizon Scan' - - I see your commitment to your own mastery. Because of the extraordinary response, I have anchored a second Masterclass for February 16th. Today was a beautiful verification that the 'Unassailable Truth' is already in the marrow of this community. Sovereignly, Dr. Colli K. Christante

The Paradigm Shift

THE PARADIGM SHIFT Mindset is like painting a rusty car. If you’re a high-performer wondering why you’re still exhausted despite "thinking positive," here’s the truth: Mindset is out. Marrow is in. Stop trying to "affirm" your way out of a problem that is living in your bones. THE CASE: WHY "THINKING POSITIVE" FAILS Ever wonder why you can "visualize" money all day, but your body still feels like it’s waiting for a disaster? It’s because you are trying to run a new app on a broken iPhone. In my 35 years of research, I’ve discovered that most successful women are carrying a "Family Debt" they didn't sign up for. You’ve spent your life being the "Pack-Mule"—carrying the stress of your parents, the needs of your kids, and the weight of your career. Your body is "clenched" to protect everyone else. You can’t "think" your way out of that. Your brain is just doing its job: it’s keeping you "tight" and "small" because it thinks that's the only way to keep the family standing. That is the "Black Sheep Tax." THE STORY: REVERSE ENGINEERING THE "CLINCH" Recently, an engineering student watched me work. She didn't see "healing." She saw Logic. She said: "Colli, you aren't just talking. You are taking the machine apart to find the broken gear." She was right. I don't "chat" about your feelings. I look at your System. I find the exact spot in your body where you are still bookkeeping your mother's struggles or your grandmother's fears. I find the "Clinch" and I dismantle it. THE "HUH" MOMENT When the architecture is right, the "hustle" stops. You don't need to "work harder." You need to stop being Useful to everyone else's drama so you can finally be Valuable to your own life. I am the proof that when you stop "clinching," you finally Arrive.

Does your body remember where you were "Hunted"?

The Body is a Library, Not a Prison. "I am back in Florida, the place where 35 years ago my life hit a wall. Back then, I was 'clenched' so tight my system finally pulled the emergency brake. In the latest episode of Collitalks Transformative Conversations, I’m talking about Somatic Geography. Our bodies are libraries. They remember the coordinates of our greatest struggles. If you feel 'stuck' or 'heavy' when you return to a certain person, a certain city, or a certain memory, that is your internal architecture trying to protect a version of you that no longer exists. I share how I reverse engineered the 'Florida Ghost' to move from a state of hiding to a state of Unassailable Witnessing. The Thaw is the ultimate engineering project. Are you ready to see your true blueprint?"
