What does it take to truly heal — not just treat symptoms, but address the whole of who we are? In this episode of the Finding Harmony Podcast, Harmony Slater and co-host Russell Case sit down with Gena Bradshaw Vitale, a two-time cancer survivor, author, speaker, and founder of Holistic Human Performance.

Diagnosed with leukemia as a young child and again facing a cancer scare as a young adult, Gena's journey led her from a conventional exercise-science background into the world of energy medicine, nervous-system regulation, and what she calls the integration piece — the missing link between knowing about wellness and actually living it. She shares the moment her intuition told her to seek a second surgical opinion, the message she received in her car that she'd “write a book one day,” and how she now guides high-achievers and “perfectionists in remission” out of survival mode.

Harmony connects Gena's work to her own spinal energetics and elemental embodiment practice, and the three explore the bridge between science and spirituality, the body keeping the score, ancestral patterns, and the profound identity shift of becoming a mother.

In this conversation:

  • Why Gena believes science and spirituality are “two sides of the same coin”
  • The five “buckets” of holistic health — mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and the one we forget: energetic
  • How trauma and “survival mode” can quietly shape the body and health
  • Trusting intuition when choosing care — and the second-opinion that changed everything
  • Why health and purpose are directly correlated
  • Motherhood as ego death, rebirth, and a doorway to deeper intuitive gifts
