Are you living your life—or just rushing through it? In this episode of Beyond the Surface, we’re shifting from the deeper inner work to something that shapes your everyday life—your values. If you’ve ever felt out of alignment, caught in the ‘busy’ trap, or wondering why life feels “off,” this one’s for you.

Here’s what you’ll walk away with:

• Why knowing your values isn’t enough—you have to live them.
• A fresh take on values—what they truly are and how they shape your life, relationships, and choices.
• The hidden ways misalignment with your values leads to burnout, frustration, and feeling lost.
• Simple, practical steps to identify your top values—and spot where your actions don’t align.
• Why ‘busy’ feels safe (but keeps you stuck)—and what you might be avoiding by staying busy.
• How learning to say no can be one of the most powerful ways to honour your values.

Plus: I share personal stories, including how discovering and living by our values transformed my relationship with my husband and the way we show up for ourselves and each other.

Ever feel like you’re doing all the right things—practicing gratitude, setting goals, reading the books—but something still feels stuck? Like there’s an invisible force holding you back?

That’s your subconscious mind at work.

In this episode of Beyond the Surface, we’re diving deep into subconscious programming—the hidden beliefs that shape your reality and keep you stuck in patterns you don’t even realize you’re repeating. I’ll be sharing some of the biggest limiting beliefs I had to unlearn (ones that kept me doubting myself, playing small, and feeling unworthy) and how I reprogrammed them into empowering beliefs that changed everything.

What we cover in this episode:

• How your subconscious mind is running 95% of your life (whether you realize it or not)
• Why you keep falling into the same patterns, even when you’re consciously trying to change
• The three biggest limiting beliefs I had (and how they were keeping me stuck)
• The simple reframing technique that shifts limiting beliefs into empowering ones
• A powerful exercise we do on retreat to rewrite subconscious beliefs
• Why your nervous system needs to feel safe before real change can happen
• Hypnosis, somatic practices, and other powerful tools for reprogramming your subconscious

Your subconscious doesn’t know the difference between real and imagined—so whether you think you can or think you can’t, you’re right. This episode is about choosing a new belief that aligns with the life you actually want.

If you’ve ever felt stuck despite all the work you’ve done—whether it’s thinking positive, talking it out, or trying to move on—this episode is for you.

Trauma isn’t just a memory. It’s something your body holds onto. And no, you can’t simply think or talk your way through it. True healing happens in the body. Today, we’re diving deep into what trauma and trapped emotions do to your nervous system and, most importantly, how to release them.

You’ll learn:

• Why trauma is stored in the body—not just the mind

• The four nervous system stress responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn

• Why unprocessed emotions can lead to anxiety, fatigue, and even physical pain

• Powerful body-based tools to help you regulate your nervous system and release stored trauma, including:

• Somatic exercises

• Grounding techniques

• Breathwork

• Vagus nerve stimulation

• Psoas and fascia release

•  EMDR and other somatic practices

This episode isn’t just about understanding trauma—it’s about releasing it.

If you’ve been carrying the weight of old wounds, past experiences, or unprocessed emotions, it’s time to give your body what it truly needs to heal.

In this episode of Beyond The Surface, we dive into the transformative power of breaking generational patterns. Many of the beliefs, behaviours, and emotional cycles we carry weren’t created by us—they’ve been passed down. Recognizing and releasing these patterns is a powerful step toward writing your own story, living life on your terms, and paving the way for future generations.

We’ll explore how to identify generational cycles and the courage it takes to break free from what no longer serves you.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

•              How generational patterns are formed and how they affect your life.

•              Signs that you might be carrying inherited beliefs or behaviours.

•              Why breaking these cycles is one of the most powerful forms of healing.

•              Steps to start rewriting your story for yourself and future generations.

Journal Prompt:

What patterns have you noticed that you have brought with you into adulthood? How can you consciously begin to shift them?

In this very first episode of Beyond The Surface, I share a deeply personal story about my journey of healing my inner child. Growing up, I unknowingly stepped into survival mode at a young age, leaving my innocence behind far too early. Through my healing journey, I’ve come to understand how these early experiences shaped me. It wasn’t until I felt safe in my body as an adult that I began uncovering suppressed emotions and memories that had manifested as physical pain.

Join me as I reflect on this transformative process, and learn why healing your inner child is the foundation for stepping into the person you’re truly meant to be.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

•              What the inner child is and why it’s so important to connect with it.

•              How early experiences impact your behaviours, emotions, and self-perception.

•              My personal healing story and the lessons I’ve learned along the way.

•              Simple ways to begin exploring your own inner child healing journey.

Journal Prompt:

Take some time to reflect: What were your earliest memories of feeling unseen or unsupported? How might those experiences still influence you today?
