How to Regulate Your Nervous System After Trauma with Mika Altidor and Simone Gisondi
What happens when childhood trauma doesn't stay in the past—but becomes something your body continues to carry? In this powerful episode of the Get Obsessed Podcast, host Mika Altidor sits down with Simone Gisondi, host of the Health Confidential Podcast, for an extraordinary conversation about childhood trauma, nervous system regulation, emotional healing, survival mode, self-worth, and the connection between trauma and physical health. Simone grew up in communist Romania in an environment marked by horrific physical and emotional abuse, scarcity, fear, and oppression. After her father escaped to Canada and eventually reunited the family, Simone faced an entirely new struggle: adapting to a new country while carrying the invisible effects of what she had survived. But survival has a cost. Years later, at just 35 years old, Simone suffered a major stroke. Her recovery became the beginning of a deeper exploration into trauma, stress, emotional health, the nervous system, and the ways our experiences can continue to affect us long after the danger has passed. Simone shares what she has learned about understanding and regulating the nervous system, recognizing survival responses, rebuilding self-worth, and creating healthier relationships with ourselves and others. In this episode, you'll hear about: • Growing up amid abuse and oppression in communist Romania • Simone's family's journey from Romania to Canada • How childhood trauma can affect us long into adulthood • Understanding the body's stress and survival responses • Nervous system regulation and emotional health • Simone's major stroke at age 35 and the journey that followed • The connection Simone discovered between her past experiences and her health • Relationships, identity, boundaries, and self-worth • Moving beyond survival and toward a more empowered life • Turning personal pain into purpose through Health Confidential CHAPTERS 00:00 — Introduction & Simone Gisondi 00:52 — Simone's Early Life and Childhood Trauma 03:42 — Growing Up in Communist Romania 12:58 — Immigrating to Canada 17:40 — Trauma, Stress and Physical Health 25:45 — Healing, Relationships and Self-Worth 27:56 — Final Thoughts CONNECT WITH SIMONE GISONDI Find Simone, Health Confidential, and her platforms here: https://linktr.ee/simone.gisondi If you've ever wondered why your body reacts even when your mind knows you're safe, why old experiences continue to influence present relationships, or what nervous system regulation actually means, this conversation is for you.

Secrets of Beauty Pageants with Insider Tracy Heisler Drost, Mrs. Illinois
Get Obsessed with... doing the thing that scares you. This week on Get Obsessed, Julie Lokun and Mika Altidor sit down with Tracy Heisler Drost, Mrs. Illinois 2025-26, for a conversation that goes way beyond the crown. Tracy pulls back the curtain on the world of pageantry — not the stereotype, the reality: the platform it builds, the doors it opens, and the personal growth that happens when you stop avoiding the things that make you uncomfortable and start leaning into them. Tracy shares how competing as Mrs. Illinois became less about the title and more about the megaphone it gave her — a platform to advocate, connect, and show other women what's possible when you bet on yourself. Julie and Mika dig into the mindset shift that made it all possible: the moment you decide discomfort isn't a red flag, it's a green light. If you've ever talked yourself out of something because it felt scary, unfamiliar, or "not really you" — this episode is your permission slip to do it anyway. In this episode, we cover: What it's really like to compete for a title like Mrs. Illinois — and what nobody tells you going in How pageantry functions as a platform-building tool, not just a beauty contest The confidence Tracy built by choosing discomfort on purpose Why "just try it" might be the most underrated growth strategy that exists How to turn any title, role, or opportunity into a bigger platform for your voice Advice for anyone standing at the edge of something that scares them Quotable moment: Tracy on why growth lives on the other side of uncomfortable — and why she keeps choosing it anyway. FAQs Who is Tracy Heisler Drost? Tracy Heisler Drost is Mrs. Illinois 2025-26, using her title as a platform to inspire women to embrace growth, confidence, and opportunities that push them outside their comfort zone. What does Mrs. Illinois 2025-26 talk about on Get Obsessed? Tracy talks about the power of pageantry as a platform, how competing built her confidence, and why intentionally choosing uncomfortable situations is one of the fastest ways to grow personally and professionally. What is the Get Obsessed Podcast about? Get Obsessed is hosted by Julie Lokun and Mika Altidor, delivering bold, unfiltered conversations on confidence, personal brand, entrepreneurship, and becoming obsessed with the life you're building.

How can I be a guest on Get Obsessed? Visit www.getobsessedguest.com to apply to be featured on the show. What is pageant "platform" and why does it matter?
