I'm sure you've been told to feel your feelings before, but have you ever been told how? There's a process I use with my coaching clients to help them feel and process their emotions and trauma, so they can heal the past, leverage their sensitivity, and transform their lives, and I'm sharing it right here on today's show.

 Discover how to feel more fearlessly, be yourself more fully, and access more joy in your life. Learn why healing means truly feeling your emotions, and I show you a step-by-step process to stop getting lost in escapism when uncomfortable emotions are present, and instead show up for yourself with care, nurturance, and love.

Feel It to Heal It, with Erika Belanger

Meli is a dream interpreter who helps sleep-deprived and stressed individuals uncover the root cause of their anxiety through dream work. She helps people address suppressed emotions while providing them with the tools to release these emotions with a process she calls cosmic dream alchemy. 

 Gain a foundation in what your dreams mean, and what you can do with the messages you receive afterward. Meli shares her three steps to alchemize and process your emotions through the subconscious mind with dream work, and she even walks us through a whole process, as an example, using one of my own dreams so you can see it in real time.

The Breath: Eastern Philosophy and Nervous System Science, with Dylan Werner

My guest this week stepped out of mainstream society as a punk artist, and later in life as a monk, to find truth, joy, and purpose in answering life’s big questions of self-discovery and transformation. I sat down with Raghunath, earlier known as Ray Cappo. Raghunath has been on a spiritual quest his whole life. He practices and teaches Bhakti yoga, and he’s a spiritual storyteller. Raghunath hosts the podcast Wisdom of the Sages and is the author of the book From Punk to Monk: A Memoir.

 Start your journey of remembering who you are and what truly matters. Raghunath and I discuss why nothing outside of you can bring wholeness and capital 'L' Love into your life, and Raghunath shares how he believes we can make the most of our lives and find our purpose one small act at a time.
