In this powerful and thought-provoking episode, I am joined by celebrated author, educator, and Licensed Massage Therapist Jodi Scholes to explore the profound connection between pain, trauma, and healing. With over 30 years of experience and over 22,000 massage sessions completed, Jodi Scholes brings unique insights from her book, Body Blueprint: How Your Pain May Be Telling a Story, which examines how mental and emotional stress can significantly influence physical pain.

The conversation dives into the biopsychosocial model of pain, uncovering how trauma and unintegrated memories manifest in the body, as highlighted through compelling client stories. Together, we discuss the limitations of traditional medicine's quick-fix approach and emphasize the importance of addressing the deeper root causes of pain. We share practical insights on listening to your body's messages, honoring your healing journey, and embracing the mind-body connection.

This episode is an invitation to shift your perspective on pain, explore the stories your body is telling, and connect with others who are on similar journeys of overcoming trauma and persistent pain.

In this powerful episode, I interview the inspiring Jodi Law, whose journey of resilience and transformation will move and motivate you. 

Jodi shares her deeply personal story of overcoming a 20-year toxic and emotionally abusive marriage, bravely embarking on a healing journey that required leaving everything behind—including her children—to rediscover herself. She reclaimed her life through yoga, energy psychology, and an unwavering commitment to growth and emerged more potent than ever.

We dive into embracing and processing emotions rather than suppressing them and the incredible impact of energy awareness and self-healing. Jodi introduces her transformative 12-week "Radiant Flame" program, which empowers individuals to harness their inner power through energy psychology and self-awareness practices.

Our conversation also explores unconventional relationships, particularly the sacrifices and rewards Jodi experienced while rebuilding her connection with her children, and I share my own parenting challenges. Together, we highlight the life-changing role of authentic communities and the support they provide during times of growth and healing.

Tune in for an episode filled with wisdom, vulnerability, and actionable insights to help you trust the process, listen to your intuition, and take bold steps toward your own healing and empowerment. This is one conversation you don’t want to miss!

My guest today is Melissa Armstrong. She operates primarily as a functional health coach and helps women break from trauma using tools that will last a lifetime. We had a fantastic conversation, even with some technical difficulties, and we plan to stay connected.

Here is a little more about Melissa:

Melissa's chaotic, traumatic childhood included parental addiction and abuse, a school shooting at 15, and witnessing my brother's death at 18. Unresolved trauma led to severe physical symptoms, prompting her to explore alternative healing.

Over the past twenty-plus years, Melissa has transitioned from nursing to being a Trauma-Informed Functional Health Coach. She now guides women in healing their minds, bodies, and spirits through the mind-body connection, somatic work, nervous system regulation, lab testing, lifestyle changes, and nutrition. Healing is always possible!

I enjoyed this conversation and look forward to staying in touch with Melissa, especially since we are so aligned.

None of us have to walk this journey alone.

In this solo episode, I’m exploring the importance of "awareness"—being mindful of our words and the influence others have on our journey. Too often, we let others’ opinions or agendas shift us away from the path we’re meant to walk. But here’s the truth: we have the power of choice.

We don’t have to carry shame or guilt imposed by others. Instead, we can stand firm in our purpose, knowing that God often uses those who’ve faced immense challenges to shine His light through their testimonies. Your story matters; when you allow Him to guide you, you’ll find strength and clarity like never before. 

Join me as I share insights on breaking free from external pressures, honoring your God-given path, and living in alignment with His plan. Let’s keep progressing together—tune in again next week for more encouragement and growth!

For more information about my coaching or to have me speak to your school or organization, please visit https://www.jodiwatkins.com.

You can find my other links at https://linktr.ee/jodiwatkins. 

Keep tuning into our podcast. Share with others who need to hear these things. Let's keep going. It's time to be grateful for what we have this Thanksgiving and never allow anyone to take us away from God's purpose for our lives. Take care, and God bless!

In this powerful episode, I sit down with Amber Hayes, an inspiring interior designer, mother, and soon-to-be author from Calgary, who has transformed her life by embracing her truth. After years in the corporate world, Amber leaped into entrepreneurship, but her real journey began when she confronted her past. At 37, a battle with depression brought her to a pivotal moment—one that would lead her to finally face the pain she had hidden for over 25 years. Surviving seven years of childhood sexual abuse and a toxic family environment, Amber later found herself in an abusive marriage, convinced it was her escape to a better life.

Amber shares how confronting her trauma became the turning point that transformed her pain into resilience, ultimately inspiring her upcoming book, The Obedient Daughter, set for release in September 2024. Through her story, Amber encourages women to reclaim their voices, break free from their past, and live authentically. Join us for a profoundly moving conversation as Amber redefines what it means to be strong, motivates others to face their truths, and proves that every woman has the power to transcend her history. This episode is a testament to courage, healing, and the journey toward self-empowerment. Don’t miss it!

You can connect with Amber by going to www.ambernicolehayes.ca and using social media. 

I am grateful for the connection with her and look forward to supporting each other's journeys.
