There are so many things you don't know until you know. As a sensitive child, no one taught you how to navigate life and deal with the emotions you are feeling, the same way we learn the ABC's. As we grow older, this translates into carrying these emotions within the physical body, but again - often not knowing what's happening inside of you, other than feeling "something is amiss", or beginning to open to the signs around you. In this episode, Athena Monet brings her Shamanic wisdom to uncove...

Who were you as a child, and how does that reflect who you are today? From a trauma-informed perspective, inner child healing is a beautiful practice of falling in love with yourself and knowing and LOVING your inner child. In this episode, my special guest Jana Wilson shares a wealth of knowledge on the concept of the Wise Little One and unearthing the wounded child within each of us. Triggers are the inner child at play, and when you can access your child, or even through the work of past l...

Do you feel like you never have enough time, or become easily overwhelmed and stressed? If your answer is yes, this episode is solid GOLD for you to understand WHY and how your brain is wired! If you have experienced trauma, this may affect your cognition even more, which is empowering as we learn how to rewire these trauma patterns so you can find freedom from your traumas + see life through a new lens. In a wildly fascinating conversation with Brain Engineer, ST Rappaport, this episode bridg...

Are you a creature of habit, or do you feel challenged to break the cycles + stories of what has been conditioned in your life? As a trauma-informed wellness expert and fellow #cyclebreaker, the 3 words "breaking the cycle" run deep as a practice to healing inner child, ancestral and intergenerational trauma wounds. In a fun, light hearted conversation with Emily + Stephanie of the Cycle Chats pod, this episode demystifies not only what "breaking the cycle" means, but how to even understand the...

So much of what you carry is not your own. Intergenerational trauma can carry up to 7 generations through your lineage. While it may be a part of your family's history, it doesn't have to be your burden to bear in this lifetime. In fact, it may be your calling to break the cycle for your lifetime + future generations to come, your children, grandchildren, and their children (up to 7 generations forward!) In this powerful conversation with Manpreet Johal Bernie, host of the Heart's Happiness sh...

Regulating your mental state, especially in times of feeling triggered, can be quite challenging. How do you bring yourself back, without continuing to feel reliant on others? Or even worse, feeling like you're asking for help and not getting what you need. In the trauma informed wellness world, we speak about this concept of "self regulation", which is a way to calm your nervous system without being dependent on the outside world to help you in times of distress. To literally, regulate yourse...

Are you tired of feeling abandoned by others? Often times, you don't realize it starts with yourself and small ways you have neglected your needs. In a society that is constantly telling you what you need, how can you blame yourself? Collectively, we are conditioned to thinking that our worth is tied to stories of societal expectations, or what others have told us we "should" be. The world reveres the concepts of the "expert" to make you question your own intuition, and to give away our power ...

Are you an overthinker, or easily overwhelmed? If so, this episode is full of golden nuggets as to how you can stop overcomplicating + embrace the mantra of “let it be easy” from a trauma-informed perspective. I will share 6 ways to learn to embrace the easy, and simplify your life with the spirit of ONENess and Somatic presencing. When you can’t get out of your head, get into your body in a way that connects Soma (Greek for body-mind awareness) to your psyche. Somatic movements repattern tra...

What is calling forth to be healed within you? In this episode, I had the honor to be in conversation with Asha Frost, a devoutly wise woman who is the bridge between worlds and people, as she is known as Nenaandawi Nagweyaab Kwe – Healing Rainbow Woman. Asha’s indigenous culture and connection to the Spirit realm offers healing that is beyond the human condition. When you can connect to the wisdom of your lineage, and reclaim your roots, you shift your mindset of healing to know that “you are...

In a conversation that is near and dear to my heart stepping away from the Wall Street way of being, this episode touches on hustle culture and the inner knowing of when it’s time to step away and off the hamster wheel of life. Society has ingrained in our souls the feelings of worth as a title, or elevation up the corporate ladder, where especially as women, we only feel our worth is a product of the masculine embodiment of DOING, rather than BEING as we are, and knowing this alone is ENOUGH. ...

Have you ever felt imprisoned by the thoughts in your mind, when you worst fear becomes reality? In this episode, I had the pleasure of connecting with my fellow Podfest fam and host of the Nightmare Success podcast, Brent Cassity to speak about breaking free of the prison of your mind. Brent and I were on a panel at Podfest called “Finding Freedom from Trauma” and aligned on the concept of feeling imprisoned by thoughts that can become addictive + self-sabotaging, we can’t find our way out, mu...

In light of May being Mental Health Awareness Month, and Taurus season (my birthday is May 12th), this solo episode is dedicated to DEEP HEALING, and connecting to this powerful Earth element within you. Healing is not linear, even though the world pressures you to live in a linear fashion - to see progress instantaneously, the quick fix, or that magic pill that will cure your ailments, physically + mentally. If you have experienced any trauma or mental distress, you know that "you can't rush ...

Were you told as a child "stop being so sensitive", or felt the need to apologize for your sensitive + soft Nature? In a world that does not revere + respect sensitivity, this can leave those of us who are to experience micro-traumas (or as we talked about in Ep. 71, covert traumas) and feelings of aloneness, anxiety, and frustration in not feeling understood and accepted as you are. In a beautiful conversation with Alissa Boyer of the Sensitive and Soulful podcast, you will learn how to overco...

Healing isn’t linear, although the world is designed to embody this masculine way of living and being, Nature and Source is cyclical. Meaning, the path to getting unstuck and healing is in cycles and seasons and taking it in small steps and doses at a time. We are primed to adapt to change. It’s only the ego mind that keeps us stuck in spirals and staying the same, as it fears disruption of the current stress patterns and cycles. In this episode, I share with you a myriad of ways on how to get...

In one of the most magical and intimately REAL conversations I've had on the podcast, I had the honor of connecting with Rebecca Capps to talk about everything from food addiction, body shaming, childhood trauma wounds, and how to align with alchemy + the magic of miracles (ala, A Course in Miracles) as a way to RISE above the madness in your mind. Rebecca was even married by the master of A Course in Miracles herself, Marianne Williamson! Breaking cycles of childhood and ancestral trauma wound...

Trauma is often described as a catastrophic event that leaves resonance, but the concept of micro-traumas or “covert trauma” as Alex Howard defines, often goes understated and ignored in the healing world. In this powerful episode with Alex Howard, I had the divine pleasure of connecting with a mentor of mine in the trauma field that finally helped me feel seen for what I have experienced most of my life, a series of covert traumas that collectively become catastrophic to your psyche and nervou...

The words "there is no rush" can be so comforting in a world that constantly diverts your attention away from the present moment. From a trauma-informed perspective, our brains often live in the past which causes depression, or in the future, which causes hypervigilance and constantly living in a state of anxiety. Neither one engages you in the ONLY state we truly live and feel ALIVE in, which is the present moment. In a beautiful conversation with Padma Gordon, this episode evokes pure PRESEN...

Highly Sensitive People (HSPs) or Empaths, are more prone to feeling emotions and experience the world in a technicolor dream state, with a depth perception that can sometimes feel overwhelming and lead to chronic health issues such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and autoimmune conditions. In today's episode (Part 2 of a 2 part series), my guest Dr. Karen Kan reveals how her journey as an HSP + chronic conditions led her to a path to learning how to heal herself, where she completel...
