In this episode of Blah, Blah, Blah…Something Wellness, Dr. Tami Sharp and Chris Zamora sit down with Don Miguel Ruiz Jr. for a conversation that cuts through surface-level wellness and gets into the real work—healing, awareness, and taking ownership of how we show up in life.
Drawing from the teachings behind The Four Agreements, The Fifth Agreement, and Don Miguel Jr.’s own work including The Mastery of Self, The Five Levels of Attachment, and The Poison Arrow, this episode breaks down how belief systems, conditioning, and unhealed wounds quietly shape our reactions, relationships, and identity.
This isn’t theory—it’s real life. From emotional reactions acting like a “car alarm,” to the danger of believing your assumptions, to the difference between truth and belief, this conversation hits directly on what first responders (and anyone under pressure) actually deal with. The episode also dives into PTSD, identity outside the job, and why so many people resist healing—even when they know something isn’t right.
Chris shares raw, real-world stories from his time in law enforcement that show how fast perception and assumptions can escalate situations—and how awareness and compassion can completely change the outcome. Together, they unpack what it actually looks like to “leave it at work,” why that’s harder than it sounds, and how to start doing it anyway.
If you’ve ever found yourself reacting faster than you can think, carrying things home you can’t explain, or questioning whether healing is even possible—this episode answers that directly.
What you’ll walk away with:
- A simple way to recognize when a reaction is coming from an unhealed wound
- Why “don’t make assumptions” really means don’t believe your assumptions
- The difference between truth and belief—and how it impacts your life
- A clearer understanding of PTSD vs. emotional reactivity
- Permission (and a starting point) to begin healing
