What if your body was speaking to you—and you just didn’t know how to listen?

In this episode of Hard Beautiful Journey, I sit down with Inna Segal, bestselling author of The Secret Language of Your Body, to explore how physical pain is often rooted in emotional trauma, suppressed energy, and ancestral patterns. Inna shares how healing begins when we reconnect with the body's innate wisdom and tune in to its messages. If you're carrying chronic pain, burnout, anxiety, or inherited grief, this episode will show you a powerful new way forward.

🎧 Tune in for a conversation that blends intuition, somatic healing, and radical honesty.

Have you ever wondered why overgiving feels like love, but leaves you burned out and resentful? In this powerful episode, psychotherapist and author Dr. Zoe Shaw joins me to explore the roots of complex shame, the hidden cost of people-pleasing, and how to create emotional safety in your relationships and within yourself.

We break down the real meaning of codependency, how to set boundaries without guilt, and why your deepest strength is often found in your most painful places.

Dr. Zoe’s new book, Stronger in the Difficult Places, is a must-read for anyone ready to stop abandoning themselves in the name of connection.

💥 Key Topics:

• Complex shame vs. simple shame

• Emotional safety in relationships

• Overgiving as a form of control

• Boundaries, resentment & self-worth

• Healing through vulnerability and community

  
  

✨ Let's ask the real question: Are you showing up from love, or fear of disconnection?

This episode gave me a whole new perspective on the ego - and how it shapes everything from our healing to our relationships.

I sat down with bestselling author and ultra-consciousness guide Daphne Michaels, and we dove into quantum awareness, energy healing, and how to live from the part of ourselves that’s already whole. We talked about ego collapse, how to raise your vibration, and why healing is really just your heart surviving your life.

Whether you're brand new to these ideas or already deep in your healing journey, I promise - this one will meet you where you're at.
