What happens when a life built on excellence collides with an inner world of quiet suffering? In this powerful conversation, Stacey Nye shares her remarkable story of growing up immersed in the Olympic movement—surrounded by achievement, world-class athletes, and the pursuit of greatness. From her earliest years, the values of service, discipline, and striving were woven into her identity. By 16, she was working at the Games with her father and fell in love with the energy of it all, even as he reminded her, “Sweetie, there’s no money in it.” Stacey’s response: “I think I’ll figure out a way.”

But behind the smile and success, Stacey carried deep personal pain. In the midst of divorce and heartbreak, she was introduced to Daniel, the founder of The Fix Code. For the first time in years, she felt hope. Through his wisdom and healing process, Stacey discovered a path beyond performance, beyond striving—a way to truly transform the private struggles she had hidden for so long.

Join us for this inspiring episode as Stacey unpacks:

• What it’s like to grow up in an Olympic family and culture of excellence
• The healing modalities she encountered through athletics—Chinese medicine, mind-body training, and resilience practices
• How The Fix Code shifted everything, bringing her peace, freedom, and a new way of living

This is a conversation about the difference between performing at life and actually living it, with presence, wholeness, and hope.

Stacey Nye began her career with a 22-year journey in the Olympic Games before opening a children’s gymnastics club while raising her family. A transformative encounter with Daniel and The F.I.X. Code Technique changed the course of her life, inspiring her to dedicate herself to bringing this powerful healing method to the world. Today, Stacey trains and mentors others through online programs and certification, supporting a global community of passionate healers.

What happens when three seasoned therapists mix 20+ years of trauma work, a dash of friendship, and a notebook full of witty one-liners? You get Unfiltered Therapists—a podcast where wisdom meets humor and healing goes beyond the therapy chair.

Michelle, Kate, and Tiffany are longtime colleagues turned collaborators who believe mental health shouldn’t feel clinical, complicated, or out of reach. From family trauma to brainspotting to everyday stress, they bring raw conversations, honest reflections, and a touch of sass to topics that matter.

Born from inside jokes and T-shirt slogans, Unfiltered Therapists has evolved into a movement: accessible mental health messages, free community resources, and now a podcast for anyone seeking connection, growth, and maybe a laugh along the way.

Because healing doesn’t have to be polished—it just has to be real.

At Unfiltered Therapists, we’re three down-to-earth therapists passionate about making healing, growth, and nervous system regulation accessible to everyone. Since we can only work with so many people one-on-one, we created a space to share the practices that help our clients feel more grounded, connected, and empowered.

Real change happens through everyday tools, nervous system support, and community. That’s why we’ve built a resource hub to help you feel more regulated and connected—wherever you’re starting from. Whether navigating stress, anxiety, depression, or seeking deeper self-awareness, you’re not alone. You’ve found encouragement, support, and tools to Boldly Inspire Change.

From childhood songs that soothed her sensitive nervous system to a career devoted to helping others heal, Colleen Klym’s journey is a powerful testament to the connection between creativity and well-being.

A licensed marriage and family therapist based in South Lake Tahoe, Colleen first discovered the healing power of music as a young girl struggling with asthma. Singing gave her breath, resonance, and a sense of connection that not only calmed her body but also touched the hearts of those around her. That early realization—that sharing her voice could bring joy and comfort—became the foundation for her lifelong path.

With a degree in music therapy, years of experience running her own practice, and a deep passion for expressive arts, Colleen eventually expanded her work to integrate brainspotting. This therapeutic modality became personally transformative and professionally groundbreaking for her, opening new ways to help clients explore their inner worlds. Whether through a child’s sand tray, a teenager’s song, or creative expression across ages, she has found innovative ways to combine brainspotting with the arts to unlock healing.

In this episode, Colleen shares:

• How singing supported her nervous system as a child and shaped her healing journey.
• The pivotal role of music therapy in her education and career.
• Why brainspotting became a powerful tool in her personal and professional life.
• How integrating expressive arts opens new doors for transformation.

Tune in to discover how creativity, presence, and the power of the arts can help us access deeper healing and resilience.

Colleen Klym is a singer, songwriter, Brainspotting Specialty workshop provider, Brainspotting consultant, and specialty kids consultant, licensed marriage and family therapist with a Bachelor’s degree in music therapy, living in South Lake Tahoe. She has been practicing as a therapist with kids, teens, and adults for about 25 years. She works with a wide range of populations, including babies and postpartum moms, children, teens, adults, and geriatrics with and without forms of dementia. She provides trauma care using expressive arts, including music, sand tray, play, and art, with Brainspotting through an attachment lens.

What if your career wasn’t just about success, but about creating the life you truly want?

In this episode, executive and life coach Matt Thieleman shares how coaching became both his profession and his spiritual path. Splitting his time between coaching other coaches and working with founders and entrepreneurs who are bold enough to try and change the world, Matt brings a deeply values-based approach to his work.

For Matt, coaching is a mirror. It forces him to face his own beliefs, patterns, and limitations while guiding others through theirs. It’s this continuous cycle of reflection and growth that makes him believe coaching is one of the best things in the world.

Beyond the coaching chair, Matt and his wife sold everything, hit the road in a van, and spent four months traveling across the western US and Canada—documenting their journey and learning everything they could. Adventure and curiosity fuel his life and his work, reminding us that creating the life we want often means saying yes to the unknown.

In this conversation, Matt reveals:

🔹 Why coaching is as much about the coach’s growth as the client’s

🔹 How values-based work leads to deeper alignment and fulfillment

🔹 The importance of trying new things—even when you don’t know if you’ll want them

🔹 What living fully and authentically looks like, both on the road and in business

This episode is for coaches, entrepreneurs, and anyone ready to explore life as an adventure of growth and possibility.

Matt Thieleman is a transformational coach, visionary catalyst, and author. Matt works with leaders and change-makers to help them live into their purpose more fully, and bring their masterpieces to the world. He educates and trains coaches to be world-class in their field and helps their clients reach their full potential. He is the former CEO of Pilea, a coaching network for entrepreneurs. Matt is the author of "This is Coaching: How to Transform a Client’s Performance, Life & Business as a Master Coach & Warrior of Love."

What if a simple tool could help you heal, shift your inner world, and reclaim a life you love?

In this inspiring conversation, Gene Monterastelli—host of the Tapping Q&A Podcast and founder of Tapping Q&A—shares how tapping transformed his own life and how he now teaches it as a powerful path to healing and authenticity.

Once a performer who could juggle, tell stories, and even open for Pope John Paul II in front of 40,000 people, Gene reveals how he simultaneously struggled with crippling fear in everyday life—unable to answer the phone or ask for help. His road kept getting smaller until a book on tapping landed in his hands during a layover, sparking a journey of healing and growth.

Now, after 18.5 years of podcasting and helping thousands, Gene shows us:

🔹 Why simple doesn’t always mean easy—and how tapping makes the hard things possible

🔹 The science of shifting what’s inside so your outer world can change

🔹 How healing ourselves allows us to live authentic, joyful, expansive lives

Whether you’re new to tapping or a seasoned practitioner, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that healing is within reach—sometimes, literally at your fingertips.

Gene Monterastelli was born in Casper, WY, and is currently a Brooklyn, NY-based practitioner who works with clients one-on-one and in groups from all over the world. He regularly leads training on the art of delivery of tapping through the Tapping Mastery Academy. He specializes in helping people use tapping to eliminate self-sabotaging behavior so that they can consistently take the action they want.
