I’m joined by the radiant Sarah May—author, yoga teacher, Reiki healer, and intuitive guide—for a deeply honest and nourishing conversation about what it really means to come home to yourself. After doing everything she was “supposed” to do, Sarah found herself crying in a van in the middle of the desert, completely disconnected from her truth. That moment sparked a radical journey of healing, intuition, embodiment, and finally choosing a life that felt good, not just looked good on paper.

We talk about how Sarah navigated grief, perfectionism, and pressure to achieve, and how she found her way back to wholeness through yoga, somatic practices, intuitive guidance, and her connection to nature. She shares how her van life adventure with her husband became more than a road trip—it became a pilgrimage back to her soul.

If you’ve ever felt like you did everything “right” and still felt empty, or if you’re standing at a crossroads wondering if it’s safe to choose you—this episode will hold your hand through it.

In this deeply nourishing episode, I’m joined by Ann Weiser Cornell, PhD—author, teacher, and a pioneer in emotional healing through the practice of Focusing and radical acceptance. Ann has spent decades helping people transform the parts of themselves they’ve been trying to fix, hide, or silence. Together, we explore what it means to turn toward the most painful emotions—shame, fear, self-doubt—not with resistance, but with compassion and presence.

Ann shares how the nervous system and emotional patterns can become “stuck” when we reject or disown parts of our inner experience. We dive into the powerful concept of self-in-presence, and how relating to your inner world without merging or identifying with it can become a path to deep, lasting healing.

If you've ever felt broken, overwhelmed by inner criticism, or caught in cycles of emotional pain you can’t “logic” your way out of, this conversation is here to remind you: you are not your trauma, your coping mechanisms, or your pain. You’re the one who can learn to turn toward it—with gentleness, curiosity, and radical acceptance.

In this deeply personal and vulnerable episode, Marina shares the most transformative relationship experience of her life—the one that finally broke the cycle of being the fixer in love. With raw honesty, she opens up about falling for someone with immense potential, a soulful connection, and an incredibly difficult past. But more importantly, she shares how she finally walked away—not just physically, but emotionally and somatically—from the belief that her love could save someone who didn’t want to be saved.

This is not just a story of heartbreak; it’s a story of nervous system healing, boundary reclamation, and rewriting the blueprint of what love feels like. If you've ever stayed in a relationship hoping the other person would change, if you've ever been hooked by potential instead of reality, or if you’ve lost yourself trying to fix someone else—this episode will speak to the deepest parts of you.

Marina invites you into her process of grieving not only a romantic relationship but also her relationship with her father, and how all of it ties back to her childhood pattern of trying to earn love through healing others. She reflects on her own addiction—not to substances, but to hope, to the fixer fantasy, and to the deep desire for emotional safety. Through this heartbreak, she found a sense of freedom she never knew was possible.

What if the real reason you're exhausted isn’t your job, but the invisible emotional labor you’ve been carrying for everyone else? In this raw and vulnerable solo episode, Marina opens up about her own burnout—not from overworking, but from being the fixer, the emotional container, and the one who always says “yes.”

This is a conversation for the silent supporters. The ones who grew up too soon, who manage everyone else’s stress while ignoring their own. Marina shares the painful yet liberating truth about the toll this emotional responsibility takes on your nervous system—and what happens when you finally stop.

She talks about grief, guilt, shame, and the unexpected discomfort of being supported after years of self-sacrifice. Whether you've been the emotional anchor in your family, your relationships, or your community, this episode will help you reclaim your energy, redefine responsibility, and begin the journey toward rest, reciprocity, and nervous system safety.

You are not selfish for choosing ease. You are not wrong for wanting to be held too. You’re just finally learning to be free.

In this raw and deeply validating conversation, I sit down with Nadine Zumot—Certified Money Coach and Somatic Practitioner—to explore how emotional spending, undercharging, and money shame are often survival responses rooted in trauma. Nadine’s journey from financial chaos to embodied wealth wisdom is not only inspiring but incredibly relatable for anyone who’s ever felt like they were “bad with money.” We talk about the nervous system’s role in our financial decisions, why traditional budgeting advice doesn’t work for trauma survivors, and how to begin cultivating a more compassionate and powerful relationship with money. If you’ve ever hustled for safety, overspent to feel worthy, or stayed small in your business out of fear—this episode is for you. You’ll leave feeling seen, empowered, and ready to rewrite your money story.

What if pleasure wasn’t something to be ashamed of—but a powerful, healing force that reconnects you to yourself and your body?

In this raw and empowering conversation, I’m joined by Certified Holistic Sexuality Educator and Embodied Intimacy & Relationship Coach, Lauren Elise Rogers, whose pain-to-purpose journey has shaped her deeply compassionate and trauma-informed approach to sexuality and relationships.

We explore how cultural conditioning, purity culture, and childhood messaging have impacted our ability to feel safe in our bodies, ask for what we need, and express desire without guilt. Lauren offers a grounded, embodied take on everything from non-monogamy and long-term relationships to body image, queer identity, and reclaiming pleasure in midlife.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, unsure how to voice your needs in intimacy, or weighed down by shame around sexuality—this episode is your permission slip to come home to yourself.

In this deeply nourishing episode, I’m joined by somatic healing coach and podcast host Karena Neukirchner for a grounded, honest conversation about what it actually means to process emotions in the body — and why it’s often the missing link in our healing.

Karena shares how unresolved trauma lives in the nervous system, how we internalize early life experiences in our tissues, and what it looks like to feel to heal without spiraling or bypassing.

We explore how anxiety, shutdown, overthinking, and people-pleasing often stem from emotional suppression — and how somatic emotional processing can guide us back to safety, self-trust, and internal freedom. Karena offers powerful insight into how she works with the body as a map, a mirror, and a messenger.

If you’re exhausted from “understanding” your patterns but still feeling stuck, this conversation is a powerful reminder: the healing you’re craving may not be found in your mind — but in your body.

In this deeply affirming conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Laryssa M. Creswell—therapist, author, speaker, and fierce advocate for trauma recovery. Known for her compassionate and practical approach to healing, Dr. Laryssa opens up about the invisible burdens many women and teen girls carry, how generational trauma shapes our lives, and the power of finally being seen and heard.

We talk about what trauma-informed care really looks like in practice, how to gently reclaim your voice, and why boundaries are a necessary act of self-respect—not selfishness. Dr. Laryssa also shares powerful insights from her book The Invisible Weight We Carry, offering wisdom on moving from survival mode into healing and empowerment.

Whether you’re navigating trauma, looking to break generational cycles, or simply yearning to feel more connected to your truth—this episode is a must-listen.
