Vanessa Bennett Is Grateful To Heal Intergenerational Trauma: The Unconscious, Radical Responsibility, & True Intimacy

1h 1m · Published 29 Nov 13:00

When we embark on our healing journey (which is a journey of a lifetime!), it is so important to acknowledge the truths that we are not only healing from our own personal experiences but we are also healing from intergenerational trauma and from collective wounds.

Our special guest Vanessa Bennett - LMFT, Author, Facilitator, Podcaster of the Cheaper Than Therapy Podcast, and Mama - offers us professional insights and perspectives that inform us of what it takes to really heal.

As we expand on the healing journey, we explore the significance of healing in relationships and allowing ourselves to be seen in our messiness, our imperfection, our not having it all together - emphasizing that vulnerability is required to experience true intimacy.

Other topics that we discuss in this conversation include (but are not limited to): depth psychology, the collective unconscious, collective healing, mind body spirit interconnectedness, radical responsibility, mirroring relationships, healing in a healthy way, and codependency.

LaNia Roberts Is Grateful To Know God: Rewriting Your Story, Being Real With Yourself, & Trusting Life

1h 41m · Published 14 Nov 13:00

When we dream to live an unconventional life, we must fully accept that it requires us to walk an unconventional path. And unconventional paths are paths that require us to fully embrace the unknown, practice radical acceptance, and deeply trust along the way that we are being led to where we dream to be.

For LaNia Roberts, her unconventional dream life includes being an artist. This unconventional dream life of hers is one that has manifested and in this conversation, she shares with us what walking the unconventional path has looked and felt like.

A large part of the journey for her has been the reclamation of her voice, the rewriting of many stories she'd made agreements with that weren't true, and lots of keeping it real with herself.

We talk art as a tool for self-expression and liberation, redefining beauty, truly allowing yourself to feel what you feel, healing and the boredom that comes with healing, letting go of unaligned relationships and beliefs, uncovering truths and lies, and so much more.

Sabrina Flores Is Grateful To Heal Over Time: Unrealistic & Realistic Expectations For Healing & Healthy Relationships

1h 21m · Published 22 Aug 12:00

Do we need to be fully healed to experience a healthy relationship? What is required of us to experience a healthy relationship? Are our partners at all responsible for our healing? What if we have different attachment styles? How do we know whether or not we should walk away from a relationship? These are all questions (amongst others) that we explore and expand on in this conversation with Trauma-Informed Love Coach, Sabrina Flores.

At a time where we have access to so many varying (and conflicting) words of advice surrounding healing and healthy relationships, it can feel conflicting to know what advice to follow and not to follow. What's beautiful about this conversation and about speaking with Sabrina Flores is that she vulnerably, openly shares with us her own personal stories (past and present) that support her coaching.

This is an insightful episode all about the healing journey, healthy relationships, and healing in healthy relationships.

Jocelyn Is Grateful To Embrace The Unknown: Living In The Present Moment & Expecting The Unexpected

25m · Published 08 Aug 12:00

When we talk about living in the present moment, we also have to talk about embracing the unknown because the present moment is the unknown. This is one major reason why most people don't live in the present moment. 

Rather than living in the present moment, most people live in the past (is this you?) because the past is familiar, and therefore, feels easier to control. When life feels "controllable," life feels safer and easier and comfortable.

Living in the present moment takes a lot of courage because it requires us to surrender the illusion of control and surrender to the unknown.

This conversation intends to clarify why the present moment is the unknown, how embracing the unknown is powerful, and intends to comfort you in the discomfort of expecting the unexpected.

Justin Tristao Is Grateful To Be Of Service: What Is Healthy Masculinity & How To Heal Unhealthy Masculinity

1h 22m · Published 01 Aug 12:00

Living in a society that encourages unhealthy masculinity creates a society that suppresses feminine energy, which is the energy of surrender, of trust, of nourishment, of intuitive knowing. We are living in a time now where the masculine and feminine energies that exist within us individually and collectively are being awakened and balanced.

Especially over the last few years, we've grown aware of the unhealthy, wounded, toxic masculine traits that have driven us towards disconnection and depletion. We've begun to experience the rise of feminine energy, as we grow called to let go of the need to control, of the need to know it all, and rest in the present moment.

This conversation, with our special guest Justin Tristao, gifts us clarity revolving healthy and unhealthy masculinity. We expand on the healing and awakening journey of both the masculine and feminine, and the responsibilities we have as individuals in this journey of healing and awakening.

Topics we touch on include: 

  • The gratitude of healthy masculines & feminines
  • The masculine-favored society we live in
  • Blockages that manifest in the unhealthy masculine
  • Life changes that we experience as we begin to heal
  • The importance of safe spaces
  • Taking responsibility for our healing
  • Perpetuating generational cycles
  • How children are great teachers
  • Regulating your nervous system/emotions

Arielle Estoria Is Grateful To Feel Everything: Returning To Your True Self, Defining Home, & Life Unfolding

1h 11m · Published 04 Jul 12:00

What if all of life is a journey of unfolding into your true Self? And what if there were phases to this unfolding? Our guest, Arielle Estoria, shares with us the five phases of our life unfoldment, which she expands on in her latest book, The Unfolding: An Invitation to Coming Home To Your True Self.

Actor, Poet, and Author, Arielle, observed her becoming and unbecoming in the last few years and noticed that coming home to your true Self is a process. To Arielle, we awaken to the changes that need to happen, we grieve who we once were while we create space for who we're becoming, we healingly piece our Self and our life back together, we open our Self up to embrace the Light within and without, and we ultimately end up home - as our true Self.

In this conversation, Arielle and I explore the parts of her story that revealed and clarified these phases leading her back home. We talk about how there is a lot of unbecoming in becoming, how dismantling takes place when new foundations are built, how what others may be envisioning for us may not actually be for us, and beyond.

Madeline Popelka Is Grateful To Embody Compassion: Healing From PTSD, Generational Trauma, & Validating Yourself

1h 5m · Published 06 Jun 12:00

PTSD symptoms don't always show up right after a traumatic experience. Sometimes the symptoms arrive years later when you least expect.

For our special guest, Madeline Popelka - who is the Founder of one of the largest healing communities on Instagram and Author of the recently published book, You're Going To Be Okay - she didn't experience her PTSD symptoms that stemmed from childhood and generational trauma until her late twenties.

In this conversation, Madeline and I talk about the healing journey and what that has looked (and felt) like for her. We expand on one of her most important lessons she learned on her journey - to hold onto the goodness and allow yourself to experience good feeling feelings, such as joy. 

We acknowledge the truth that even positive change can feel triggering for those healing from trauma and other truths as well. This is an honest and encouraging conversation between two women who have experienced trauma and have actively chosen (and continue to choose) to heal. 

Other topics we touch on include:

  • Asking for help and support
  • "Small" trauma
  • The myth that PTSD is a choice
  • Trauma anniversaries
  • Creating safe space for trauma survivors
  • Becoming a truer version of you
