From Affirmations to Algorithms: The Digital Evolution of Self-Help & Soul Work

Welcome to From Affirmations to Algorithms—a series within the Dr. Mary Louder Show where medicine meets meaning, and transformation gets real.

This series traces the soulful evolution of self-help, personal growth, and energy healing in the digital age. Join Dr. Louder as she is in conversation with Dr. Dawn Eidelman, who is the current executive director of the Association for Comprehensive Energy Psychology. 

From cassette tapes and Louise Hay to AI wellness tools, trauma-informed coaching, and energy psychology apps—we explore how healing has moved online, and what that means for our nervous systems, our souls, and our search for wholeness.

We separate the sacred from the hype and ask deeper questions:

       - What tools truly help us heal—and which ones distract us from the work?
       - How do we stay grounded as transformation becomes more digitized?
       - And what does soul-centered healing look like in a tech-driven world?

Whether you’re a lifelong seeker, a practitioner, or someone simply feeling called to something deeper—this space is for you.

So grab your journal. Or your headphones.
Let’s press play on something that actually matters.
