EPISODE TRANSCRIPT

Freddie Kimmel and Caitlyn Becher (00:02.274)
Welcome to the Beautifully Broken Podcast brought to you by AmpCoil. I'm your host, Freddie Kimmel, and on this show, we discuss the common threads survivors share after walking through the fire, the practitioners making a difference, and the treatment modalities that deliver healing back into the hands of the people who need it most. Witness the inspiration we gain by navigating the human experience with grace, humility, and a healthy dose of mistakes. Because part of being human is being beautifully broken.

Freddie Kimmel and Caitlyn Becher (00:36.27)
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the beautifully broken podcast. I'm so honored you're here with a very special guest. have Caitlin Beecher for episode 71. Caitlin, welcome to the show. Thank you, Freddie. Pleasure to be here. So excited to have this conversation with you. So I just want to cue the audience in a little bit about what you do. You are, you're a female biohacker. You know, you use technology and supplements and education.

and outside of the box modalities to upgrade your vibration, upgrade your wellness. And you've had some health challenges and some, well, let's call them some heavy emotional challenges in the past or currently to work through. That's true, wouldn't it be? That's absolutely true. I've had quite a journey of my own and I think that ends up being somewhat of a great connection point in the type of work that I do and that we also share together.

I would agree. would agree. And, and Caitlin also works at, at AMP Coil. You know, we both work with AMP Coil, which is the system that works with the energetic body and uses pulse electromagnetic field and frequency and bio resonance to create a shift in the body. So we both, we both hold that in common. And really what I wanted to do here today was kind of like a co-piloting episode. You know, sometimes I'll bring on a bestie who we share common interests.

we sort of talk through things that are topical going on in the news. Obviously we're in the middle of a world pandemic and it looked as though I'm I'm in Reading, Connecticut, Caitlin's and Carmel in California. And it looked as though like a month ago that everything was sort of, we're sorted winding down. We're having some re openings. And while I'm experiencing Connecticut, I'm having gyms are open. The mall is open. The Apple store is open. Our numbers are

crashing through the floor, you're having a different experience in California. That's true. Very much so. I mean, we're having the soft opening of things and everything started to feel like it was going back to normal. I think I even went out to dinner with friends and now, you you walk into the gym and you have to wear a face mask the whole time whereas before you didn't. And just these little things are starting to creep back in again. And what's it looking like? What's it looking like for the fall? Has there been anything hinted in the news?

Freddie Kimmel and Caitlyn Becher (02:57.902)
What's California's trajectory as far as their path with the coronavirus? Right now, it feels like our path was that we were opening, and now it feels that there is definitely a lot more fear surrounding all of this. And the projection of what school life is going to look like for children is starting to change. And there's just a lot of uncertainty, wondering if they're going to close down state borders, things like that. We're just not real clear on any of it.

And you've got some little dudes, right? You're a den mother. I am. I have an almost eight-year-old boy and an almost five-year-old daughter. And what's that been like to quarantine through this pandemic with children and a single mom? It's like herding cats that you've just dipped in a bathtub. It's not something that I would say is an enjoyable experience, but definitely has

allowed everybody new ways of figuring life out and challenging times and creativity for sure, but patience. Yeah, I would agree. what are, can we just, yeah, let's just wax intellectuals. So what are some of the tools that are getting you through this pandemic with your sanity right now? Time alone. That has been my biggest tool, taking myself on a hike, getting out in nature, pulling the kids out in nature, even when they really just want to be on electronics and things like that.

I'm trying to schedule social activity, whether it be virtual or in person, self-care. mean, that's it. A lot of baths, lot of Epsom salts. Some of the calming tools that we have, Journeys on Amp Coil, L-Theanine. know, just every tool that I have in my toolbox, I'm pulling out at this time. Yeah. And can you go into the L-Theanine a little bit for our listeners, just for people who don't know how that's going to work on the positive effects in the brain?

Yeah, so I mean, use L-theanine. Sometimes I go between GABA, which is another calming neurotransmitter, L-theanine being the, I believe it's the precursor to GABA. And I just find that it's a very calming, relaxing neurotransmitter or amino acid, I should say. It helps a lot with myself. It helps with children. Can be a little less intense than just giving somebody GABA, which would be the more broken down form.

Freddie Kimmel and Caitlyn Becher (05:19.574)
Yeah, amazing, amazing. have a speaking of this time, you know, for me, Corona has been what it's meant for me is bad sleep. That's that's been the biggest driver. And for whatever layers of healing you want to go into, you know, I say, how unfortunate that I'm getting bad sleep. Right. You know, how unfortunate that I'm laying down at night and there's this under undercurrent of stress that there's so much energy pulsing through my body at times where I feel like is there a washing machine on downstairs?

As someone left, like, you know, did someone start the dishwasher? Cause I feel like a pulse in my body when I'm laying there and there's, there's no, the idea, the entertainment of sleep is like a distant, distant cousin. It's like a no way thing. And like I said, I was looking at it like how unfortunate and then in the last two weeks, something shifted. Whereas the lack of sleep has made me so tired. And so it's hurt me so bad that there was a layer pulled back.

of like emotional vulnerability. And in the last two weeks, I've had all this really last three weeks, trauma pouring out of my body, which I've never been in a big emotional release person. call it sprying. It's like a scream and a cry at the same time where I'll just kind of, you know, pull my car over and just release, release, release. And I'm thankful for that because when I do, I can almost name it, you know, and for me being able to name, I'm like, you know, my body not wanting to sleep.

I was brought to a place of fatigue, the emotions came out and I was able to name the fact that I don't feel safe. You know, for me, that's what it's brought up. like, there's an, and that goes to be now Corona, the world pandemic is bringing that up, but what happened is my core wound. You know, what happened in my childhood that I don't feel safe. What's allowed this belief system to come to the surface. So.

Again, I'm like in a really long roundabout answer. I'm thankful for it. What it's brought up, what it's done for me. And now I can, you know, I can name it. I can process it. So now I know, you know, for me, what's been helpful has been using journeys like the organ album on amp coil and giving myself three to four minutes on liver and kidney, which I know from my five elements of Chinese acupuncture that the liver and the kidney can create dampness in the system and it allows the fire of the heart to swell. And when we compliment those organs, people tend to sleep through the night better. it was a good aha moment. And then like you said, like I've been using a liposomal form what you said about how this is bringing until you actually just sit with it and really label it. I like that you said that emotional.
