What if the very wounds you’ve tried to hide or “fix” are actually your greatest source of power?

In this episode of the Resonance podcast, I connect with Stéphanie Issa, a seeker of life’s possibilities, citizen of the world, Integrative Nutrition Health Coach, and ThetaHealing® practitioner. Stéphanie guides her clients to release limiting beliefs and awaken the potential within, and her story is a powerful reminder that our deepest struggles can become the path to healing.
