    The Courage to Be You, with Guest Teri Lynn - A Conversation Between Two Women Rising From Within
    Dec 6 2025
    This episode is your permission slip to stop shrinking. In this intimate and beautifully raw conversation, two women in recovery sit together, not as experts or influencers, but as sisters walking the same path—peeling back the layers, naming the truth, and reclaiming the parts of themselves long hidden under shame. Guest Teri Lynn, whose story has never been shared publicly, offers a rare look into the quiet bravery it takes to rise authentically and be who you are. Her honesty doesn’t just inspire—it disrupts the old narratives that tell women to shrink, stay silent, or pretend. This episode is for any woman who's been dimming their light to keep the peace... For the woman who senses there is more to her than the roles she plays... For the woman who pushes down a deep part of her begging to be seen... For the woman who feels the tug of her own power but hesitates to trust it…For the woman who’s ready to break the spell of shame and step into a life that feels real.Nadia and Teri explore what it means to: - Return to yourself - Tune into your intuitive knowing - Speak your story without apology, and - Discover that the very places you once hid are the gateways to your freedom. Together, they will inspire us to embrace the rebellion of choosing yourself, the fire that burns when you step into your truth, and the raw courage it takes to shine in a world that benefits from your silence. Come listen. Come rise. Come remember who you are. FREE BAN SHAME TIP SHEET⁠ EMPOWER YOUR RECOVERY⁠ ⁠YOGA (FREE for Parents in Recovery)⁠ ⁠GIVE BACK⁠ ⁠FOLLOW⁠ Learn more about your ad choices.

  • From Personal Recovery to Heart-Centered Parenting: Turning Sorrow Into Something Beautiful for the Family

    From Personal Recovery to Heart-Centered Parenting: Turning Sorrow Into Something Beautiful for the Family
    Nov 21 2025
    PART III - Through heartfelt reflection, spiritual insight, and practical everyday tools, this episode Nadia and Janice invites you to breathe into the mystery of life — to honor the finite and the infinite, the body and the soul, the tear and light behind it - ultimately turning sorrow into something beautiful for the whole family. Even with a deeper understanding about death, sorrow still visits. Loss still hurts. And too often, we carry shame for grieving, as if spiritual understanding should make us immune to pain. But grief does not mean we’ve forgotten our infinite nature — it means we have loved deeply. In this episode, Nadia and Janice share their past experiences navigating grief and shame and describe how they handle both differently today with their children, using them as bridges to deeper spiritual connection, providing TOOLS and TIPS to:~ Hold both truths — the ache of physical loss and the peace of eternal connection.~ Release shame around sorrow - honoring it as a sacred expression of love, not weakness.~ Transform fear of death into reverence for the continuity of spirit - tapping into the idea that time is not linear, all experiences are connected.~ Model authentic grieving for our children, family, and community — showing that emotion is not a flaw, but a part of divine wholeness enabling authentic, genuine connection. Nadia Davis, Esq. (Priya Bachan Kaur) is a mom in recovery, Award-Winning Author, Attorney, and Level II Certified Kundalini Yoga Teacher with over 8 years experience helping people return to their inner truth. She now offers Sacred Therapy through individual and group sessions, incorporating ancient eastern practices and recovery tools for grounding, calming, and heart-centered living, healing trauma wounds, building self-compassion, connection, love, and empathy for others, to overcome fear, judgement, and shame-based based living.

    Go Inward...Today, not tomorrow, nor next week, or next year, now.
    Nov 14 2025
    Are you ready to unlock the doors and COME HOME to a place WITHIN that has felt distant for a long time? A space that seems unreachable amidst thoughts and emotions seemingly pulling you away? Are you confused about why, how, and where to start on a personal journey of awakening? Ok, let's get you there, let's start. A home within is but a breath away. It already gently speaks to you in the heart-strings and gut intuitions you might be pushing away. In this episode, Nadia shares a relatable personal journey of finally making a decision to GO INWARD and listen to her heart and soul, reflecting on an important question about life - Why is it most of us wait, resist, or risk it all before we make that decision? What she discovered along the way reveals much about the workings of our mind and the development of "ego" during our earlier years, how a false sense of emptiness and separation are created, yet all the while there is an infinite love readily available to us from within. It's time to GO HOME friends! Don't wait till tomorrow, next week, or next year. Enter this holiday season with a new sense of purpose, wholeness, and joy.

  • Releasing Shame, Raising With Heart

    Releasing Shame, Raising With Heart
    Oct 24 2025
    Why would a parent in recovery want to look deeper into shame and inner healing? Because the tools we’ve worked so hard to build in recovery—awareness, acceptance, honesty — CAN become some of the greatest gifts we offer our children. But the truth is, the same patterns of shame that once shaped our survival can still quietly reappear in the tender moments of parenting, affecting our ability to guide and nurture our children. But when they do, they ALSO offer us an invitation - not to judge ourselves - but to move deeper into love and connection. This episode is an invitation to move from inherited shame toward authentic connection, guiding our children not from fear or perfection, but from a grounded, open heart. What if the moments that trigger shame in parenting are actually invitations to heal the parts of ourselves still longing to be loved? Learn how to build a true sense of home within your own heart—through breath, stillness, calm, and presence—so you can parent from peace, not pressure.

    From Personal Recovery to Heart-Centered Parenting

    What if the path to becoming the parent you always wished you had starts not with learning new parenting techniques—but with going inward?In our latest episode, we dive deep into a transformative truth: sobriety isn’t the finish line—it’s the starting point of returning to your truest self. It’s where the real work begins. And that work leads to something powerful: parenting from the heart.From Survival Mode to Self-DiscoveryWhen we strip away the coping mechanisms, the numbing, and the patterns we inherited unconsciously, what’s left is raw, unfiltered presence. That can feel scary at first. But it’s also where healing and real connection begins.In this episode, we explore: • How sobriety opens the door to rediscovering your inner truth • Why healing your inner child is essential—not optional—on the parenting journey • The difference between parenting from shame, fear, and control versus parenting from love, acceptance, and freedom • What it means to be a heart-centered parent who leads with presence, authenticity, empathy, and emotional attunement • Why being “in tune” with yourself makes you naturally more in tune with your children • The myth of perfection in parenting—and how showing up authentically is the true gift The Inner Child ConnectionHealing your inner child isn’t just about reflecting on past wounds—it’s about recognizing where those unmet needs still live inside you. When we don’t tend to those parts of ourselves, they unconsciously show up in how we parent: through reactivity, fear, emotional distance, or overcompensation.But when we turn toward to our own pain with compassion, we change the game.You’ll hear real stories, insights, and practical guidance on how to: • Reconnect with the parts of you that needed love, safety, and validation • Create space to feel without judgment, gain tools to regulate yourself that in turn result in teaching regulation to your children • Break generational patterns with awareness, not shame • Become the safe space for your child because you’ve learned to be that for yourselfSobriety: The Beginning, Not the EndSobriety is a bold and brave first step. But it’s not the peak of the mountain—it’s the trailhead. Once the numbing is gone, your true self begins to surface. That self may feel unfamiliar at first. Vulnerable. Sensitive. Real.But it’s also the most available, grounded, and powerful version of you—the version your child most needs.Tune In If…~ You’re sober (or sober curious) and wondering what’s next. ~ You're overwhelmed with practical wreckage and don't know where to start.~ You’re a parent trying to do it differently than it was done for you.~ You feel like there’s more to healing than just “not drinking.”~ You want to lead with love, not fear.~ You’re ready to come home to yourself—and raise your child from that place. ~ You're ready to build a sense of "home" within the family, where safety, calm, and acceptance thrive, regardless of separation, divorce, or custody-challenges. This episode is a permission slip to stop performing, stop perfecting, and start returning to the truth of who you really are. Your child doesn’t need you to be perfect—they need YOU to be PRESENT. And presence starts with you. Take-Away MANTRA Janice J.

    Awake Awhile, with Guest Priya Jain, Seventh Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences
    Oct 3 2025
    Ever feel a "hole" in your heart? a disconnect from others, life, purpose? The mind feels the pain of disconnection to one's own heart. It gives us many reasons not to seek, be, and stay connected to it, and even more reasons not to feel it, not to hear it speak. But the heart is the space of complete acceptance of what is. It offers refuge from the mind, and all its chains and bonds we often attempt to escape, in various forms and ways. The heart gently offers us a home. In this episode, Nadia and Priya Jain, Founder of Seventh Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences, explore the journey of waking one's sleeping heart, sharing their insights and lessons learned along their personal paths to wholeness, freedom, and finding a source of infinite love within, as described in poem titled "Awake Awhile," written by Hafiz.
