On this episode of the Journey to Purpose Podcast, Tammy Vincent shares her deeply personal story of growing up in a dysfunctional family affected by alcoholism — and the long road of healing, therapy, and self-discovery that followed.

Tammy speaks candidly about the effects of generational trauma and what it's like to grow up without a felt sense of safety or unconditional love. She explores how family dysfunction shapes children in ways that echo well into adulthood, and what it took for her to begin understanding and addressing these deep-rooted patterns. More recently, Tammy also experienced a stroke, and she shares how that life-altering event has reshaped her perspective on healing, resilience, and what really matters. Her conversation is a powerful reminder that healing is possible — and that it begins with honest acknowledgement.

On this episode of the Journey to Purpose Podcast, holistic coach Alenka shares her path from travel agent to women's wellness guide — and introduces her unique blend of Tao face yoga, cycle awareness, and body reconnection for women over 40.

Alenka's story begins with a difficult divorce and the need to rebuild her life from scratch — a period that became the catalyst for her deep dive into holistic health and self-awareness. She shares how understanding the natural cycles of life and the female body transformed her own wellbeing, and why so many women over 40 are disconnected from their bodies and their intuition.
