How We Get Thru Podcast: Wellness, Healing & Spiritual Tools for Growth in Real Life

Today’s episode highlights the road back to pleasure for women but more importantly what I learned from this episode is the gift of being in connection with women that have experienced more life than you. Cindy Scharkey is a registered nurse turned sex educator  who invites women into the freedom of their bodies, pleasure, and intimacy.

We talk about how mindfulness is the gateway to have better sex, experience more pleasure in day to day life, and erase the belief that women don't deserve pleasure. Talking with Cindy was like having a glimpse of what my future could be like in liberation of sexual freedom.

Have you ever had a physical symptom with no medical explanation? Well I have and it led me to find Kevin Russell, an author, energy healer, and a clairvoyant medium. In this episode, Kevin talks about his own journey and how his daughter was the catalyst into the Emotion Code. This episode is a great introduction to The Emotion Code which explains how emotions can get trapped or stored in our bodies and how generational trauma can be passed down. And the best part, how we can acknowledge our own power to release it.

We are back with Season 2 and I feel like I have changed so much in the last year of launching the How We Get Thru app  and of course the podcast that this season is going to feel a little bit different, a little more expansive as I have really meaningful chats  with healers that are in and outside of the therapy room. This of course comes from my own healing and curiosity so thank you so much for being here  and growing alongside me.

Let’s introduce our first guest, Abigail Suazo a beautiful human with a deep soul and she is a trauma informed hypnotherapist that helps people feel empowered with clarity and self-awareness through energy work and hypnotherapy. Listen in as we discover how self-love can happen when we can lean into the discomfort within our relationships and how hypnotherapy can help you thru that.
