In this transformative conversation, Carly Brown is joined by Dr. Daniela Colin Ruiz—Integrative Medical Doctor and psychotherapist specializing in the emotional roots of disease at the renowned Hope4Cancer clinic in Tijuana.

Together, they explore why emotional healing is often the missing link in cancer recovery—and how tending to the behavioral, emotional, and spiritual layers of ourselves can unlock profound transformation. With over 15 years working with cancer patients, Dr. Daniela shares powerful insights on how unresolved trauma, suppressed emotions, and inherited patterns can manifest as physical illness—and how healing begins when we create space to process, express, and reconnect with our authentic selves.

Carly also opens up about her own thyroid cancer journey and how her emotional healing—especially around voice, identity, and lineage—became a pivotal part of her recovery.

This episode dives into:

• Germanic medicine and the biology behind emotional trauma

• Why different organs and cancers correspond to different emotional themes

• How trauma is stored in the body—and what to do if you can’t "remember" yours

• Healing ancestral patterns and transgenerational trauma

• The neuroscience of stress, dissociation, and nervous system freeze

• Why some people struggle to feel worthy of healing

• Creating safe space for emotional expression and authentic self-discovery
  

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing all the physical healing “right” but still not making progress—this episode will open up a whole new perspective on what it means to truly heal.
