Join me, Judy Hawley; Clinical Social Worker, Trauma Therapist, ADHD Coach, and Manifestation Coach for a candid conversation with broadcaster and creator Cat Greenleaf about addiction, recovery, change, and redefining success.

Cat created and hosted NBC’s long-running series Talk Stoop, the celebrity interview show filmed on her Brooklyn front steps. Over nine years, she interviewed hundreds of guests, earned four Emmys, and built a career she loved until she was suddenly fired. That loss led Cat into a profound period of uncertainty and reflection.

Through her own recovery journey, Cat was inspired to found the Restorative Housing Organization, which trains formerly incarcerated men and women to renovate undervalued NYC waterfront properties that are then rented to Section 8 tenants. In September 2024, she also launched Soberness, creating space for honest, stigma-free conversations about addiction and recovery.

In this episode of the Manifestation Therapy Podcast, Cat and Judy explore addiction and sobriety, manifestation as partnership rather than force, and what it means to let go of urgency and comparison. Cat shares how living by the water became a catalyst for healing and clarity, and how loss ultimately opened the door to deeper purpose and alignment.

Together, we discuss nervous system safety, redefining success beyond visibility and productivity, and the quiet realization that sometimes nothing is actually wrong. Healing, as Cat reminds us, is often found through connection not perfection.

Key takeaways: • Sobriety and recovery as pathways to self-trust • Manifestation as partnership, not pressure • Redefining success beyond productivity and visibility • Adoption, family, and soul-level connections • Working with incarcerated populations and restorative housing • Letting go of comparison and external validation • The healing power of water, stillness, and integration

Takeaway: Manifestation doesn’t require force or reinvention. Clarity and alignment often emerge when we stop fixing and allow the process to unfold.

I’m Judy — a Clinical Social Worker, trauma therapist, and manifestation coach. In this episode of The Manifestation Therapy® Podcast, I talk to Kristina of Cosmic Butterfly on the powerful creativity in yoga, mediumship and art.

We explore how intuition develops, how the body supports spiritual connection, and why community, practice, and compassion matter more than “getting it right.” Kristina also shares how yoga helped her recover from burnout and anxiety, and how movement can unlock emotions and support nervous-system healing.

We talk about creativity, channeled paintings, growing up sensitive, and how to trust your gifts even when your family doesn’t understand them.

A live mini-reading at the end brings through a powerful message about pacing, pressure, time, and allowing your work (and yourself) to ripen naturally.

You’ll Learn:

• Kristina’s spiritual awakening after loss
• Early mediumship experiences & finding her first class
• Blending yoga, intuition, and somatic awareness
• Ideal clients & why beginners are so special
• Her biggest personal challenge: releasing perfectionism
• A guide’s message for Judy about time, pressure, and creative pacing
• Where to find Kristina online

Takeaway: Kristina’s journey began with profound loss, which opened her intuitive gifts and guided her toward mediumship, yoga, and healing work. Kristina emphasizes that intuitive growth comes from practice rather than perfection, and that true empowerment comes when clients learn to trust their own inner knowing. She highlights the importance of acceptance of all parts of ourselves. A message from Judy’s guide reinforced the theme of natural timing, that creative work, healing, and personal evolution all ripen when they’re ready, not when we force them.

052 The Brain in Brainspotting: The Holistic Power Behind It.

I’m Judy — a Clinical Social Worker, trauma therapist, and manifestation coach. In this episode of The Manifestation Therapy® Podcast, on this episode I talk about the holistic power of Brainspotting, specifically what the areas of the brain become activated when doing this powerful technique.

In this powerful episode, we explore how Brainspotting goes far beyond traditional talk therapy and enters the realm of true holistic transformation. You’ll learn how Brainspotting accesses the subcortical brain, reorganizes emotional memory, unwinds unconscious survival patterns, shifts the nervous system into safety, and opens the channel to intuition, higher self, and spiritual insight.

This is the deep dive you’ve been waiting for — the science, the somatics, and the spirituality behind why Brainspotting.

You’ll Learn:

• Why Brainspotting is truly holistic as a modality.
• How eye positions access parts of the brain to release stored trauma and reorganize patterns, narratives and emotional charges.

• The somatic release of activating neural networks
• Discharge of stored energy and strengthening of vagal regulation

• The spiritual awakening in brainspotting with the Default Mode Network(DMN)
• Connects neurobiology to the soul-level healing process
• Neuroscience behind the spiritual state and areas of the brain activated.
• The power and explanation of dual attunement from a neurobiological perspective
• Brainspotting with transformative power in purpose, alignment, creativity

Takeaway: Brainspotting heals beyond talk — it rewires the actual emotional networks where trauma is stored. The body releases what cognition has been carrying. The intuitive, spiritual channel opens when survival energy is no longer hijacking the system. Dual attunement creates safety across three levels: physical, emotional, and energetic. Healing happens from the inside out — mind, body, and spirit reorganize together.

I’m Judy — a Clinical Social Worker, trauma therapist, and manifestation coach. In this episode of The Manifestation Therapy® Podcast, on this episode I sit down with Tatiana Ho of Array Holistics on Healing from Within.

Tatiana shares her story on discovering the power of holistic health. How she has been shifting the internal energy of her clients to support real changes not only in chronic health conditions but also in your emotional, and spiritual health. Tatiana shares some simple daily practices to use that she recommends—like muscle testing and gentle nervous system training. We talk about how physical and emotional symptoms are invitations to look deeper, to listen, and to consider where you may be out of alignment.

You’ll Learn:

• The meaning of “healing from within”: how shifting your internal energy and beliefs can create real changes in your health.
• Your energy field as medicine and why your energy field holds the key to balance, clarity, and vitality.
• Coherence and the nervous system: with how regulation, safety, and coherence in your nervous system open the door to deeper healing.
• Recognizing your body’s “yes” and “no”: How to listen to your body’s signals as guidance instead of dismissing or overriding them.

We already have the power to heal within us, and Tatiana teaches that it is not something to earn from an external source but a process of remembering, reconnecting and returning to our own inner wisdom.

Takeaway: You already carry what you need to heal. Your energy is your greatest medicine. When you bring awareness and intention to your energy field, you create the space you need to heal. Small steps can create profound change. Everything can shift together when the Nervous Systems feel safe.

I’m Judy a Registered Social Worker, trauma therapist, and manifestation coach. In this episode of The Manifestation Therapy® Podcast, I take a deep dive into one of the most important distinctions in the healing field; the difference between being trauma informed, and trauma trained, and what you need when you healing or manifesting with trauma.

I explore what trauma really is from a brain, body, spirit perspective, how it impacts your nervous systems, mindset and spiritual alignment, and what kind of practitioner you actually need, depending on where you are in your healing journey.

Trauma alters the way we connect with ourselves and others. It alters the brain and body, and even the capacity to manifest. In this episode I discuss how ADHD and trauma intersects, so that you can understand how these overlap and amplify each other. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who is a trauma survivor, or is navigating healing, embodiment, expansion spiritually or in their lives and wants to discern between a safe space, processing, and transformation.

You’ll Learn:

· The true nature of trauma, and what happens inside the body and brain.

· The difference between trauma informed and trauma trained practitioners and why both are essential for healing.

· How to know who to go to and when for therapy, bodywork, energy work, coaching, or spiritual mentorship.

· The impact of ADHD on trauma healing — and why neurodivergent nervous systems need gentleness, predictability, and permission to rest.

· How Manifestation Therapy® integrates mind, body, energy, and spirit for complete transformation.

You can’t manifest from survival. You can only manifest when your nervous system feels safe enough to receive. Healing happens at the intersection of mind, body, and energy; not in isolation.

Takeaway: Safety and connection are biological states, not mental decisions. You can understand your trauma and still feel unsafe, because the body needs to be retrained, not just the mind. Manifestation Therapy® bridges evidence-based therapy, somatic healing, and energetic alignment.
