26 Aug August 27, 2025 – Internal Guidance System Zen Cryar DeBrucke and Stem Cell Pioneer Cynthia Fisher
Zen Cryar Debrucke – Founder of Fear Free Human
Anytime you’re feeling worry, fear, anxiety, overwhelm, doubt, guilt,
frustration, irritation – procrastination is actually not a character flaw. It’s guidance.
Zen Cryar DeBrucke
Zen Cryar DeBrucke went from high school dropout to getting my Bachelors degree in Foreign Policy, from UC Davis, to founding one of the first Internet usability firms in San Francisco in 1996. All the way, she followed this innate tool she discovered that she call the Internal Guidance System® (IGS). When she followed it success came easily and naturally. She is proud that she get to share this information with others and see them have the same success and true joy in their lives. She considers her second biggest achievement in life is the discovery and development of the IGS. (Her kids and amazing relationship with her husband is my first.) It’s a tool she uses daily to help her navigate her thoughts, emotions, and actions – not only does it work but it has transformed every aspect of my life. By using her IGS, she was able to identify and shift my thinking away from false, disempowering beliefs/stories that were holding me back, and from childhood programs that kept her from even seeing what was possible. She understood how to choose the new thoughts needed to create an incredible life filled with success and joy. What was more amazing is the mindsets that held me back begin to dissolve, to the point where she forgot how she used to think. Zen completely recreated her mental thought patterns to fresh new thinking that was powerful.

Americans are held hostage to this opaque system… the good news is
there’s a big opportunity ahead because of entrepreneurship and innovators.
Physicians and surgical centers are standing behind one price, posted
online, and it’s about 40% lower. That’s the future.
