  • S2E52: Shattered Innocence - Interview with Dr. Robb Kelly

    Childhood trauma encompasses a range of adverse experiences that occur during a child's formative years.

    These can include physical, emotional, or sexual abuse, neglect, loss of a loved one, witnessing violence, or any situation that leaves a child feeling scared, helpless, or overwhelmed.

    The impacts of such trauma can be profound and long lasting, shaping an individual's emotional, psychological, and even physical health well into adulthood. Healing from childhood trauma is a journey that involves facing and understanding past experiences rather than avoiding or suppressing them.  Healing from childhood trauma is not only possible but can also be profoundly empowering.

  • S2E50: Shedding Grudges - Interview with Falak Shaikhh

    Resentment burdens our spirits and stifles our potential for flourishing. It festers silently within, poisoning our thoughts and emotions, and anchoring us to the tumultuous seas of past grievances.


    This exploration delves deep into the transformative essence of forgiveness, shedding light on how relinquishing resentment can nurture personal growth and foster a profound sense of inner peace.


    Forgiveness is not a mere absolution of the wrongs inflicted upon us; rather, it is a liberation from the chains of bitterness. When we choose the path of forgiveness, we reclaim our agency and break free from the vicious cycle of hurt and retribution. It is a bold act of self-compassion, a testament to our inherent worthiness of peace and healing.


    In this episode, our guest, Falak Shaikhh will share with us how she released herself from resentment and now helping others. She's a relationship coach, an intuitive energy healer, a homeopath, an author, a wife, and a mother of two beautiful kids.

  • S2E46: Withstand the Storm - Interview with Marie McKenzie

    Overcoming the burden of trauma requires determination and unwavering support. It's about acknowledging the pain without letting it define one's identity and finding the courage to confront the shadows of the past while embracing the light of hope for the future.

    Ultimately, the process of healing is not linear, but it is transformative. With time and perseverance, survivors can emerge from the darkness.

    In a world often clouded by challenges and uncertainties, there exists an invaluable currency and that is kindness.

    Every act of kindness, no matter how small, has the potential to create ripples of positive change that extend far beyond the initial gesture.
