In this potent episode of More Than Sex and Secrets, Dr. Lisha Antiqua sits down with energy mentor and fellow BLYSS session leader Kerry Doran for a grounded and honest conversation on spiritual sovereignty.

We explore how so many of us—especially sensitive, empathic, and trauma-affected souls; unknowingly give our authority away in our healing journey. Whether it's depending on coaches, therapists, intuitive healers, or gurus… we can fall into a cycle of outsourcing our inner wisdom.

Kerry and Lisha candidly discuss:
✨ The difference between healing with someone and healing through them
✨ How to use energetic and spiritual guidance without losing personal power
✨ Reclaiming your divine authority in all areas of life—health, relationships, purpose
✨ The trap of dependency and how it shows up even on the spiritual path

As BLYSS session leaders at the Institute of Energetics, both Lisha and Kerry guide clients through energetically informed somatic support systems designed to realign body, soul, and nervous system. This conversation is a call to trust your inner compass while still receiving powerful support.

In this powerful episode of More Than Sex and Secrets, Dr. Lisha Antiqua unpacks the deep emotional imprint left by abandonment wounds — especially when you don’t understand why they left, or were taught to "just be strong" and never show your pain.

If you've ever been told not to cry, to suck it up, or felt shame for still hurting — this conversation will validate everything you've carried in silence.

We explore:

• The trauma of emotional neglect and sudden abandonment

• How childhood conditioning ("don’t be weak") rewires adult relationships

• Why holding it all together can actually cause breakdowns in intimacy and health

• What it means to finally feel safe showing your pain and reclaiming your worth

This is your reminder: you don’t have to pretend you're fine anymore. Healing begins with honoring your hurt.

Why is it so hard for survivors to celebrate themselves or even accept compliments? In this journal masterclass episode, we explore how shame, guilt, low self‑esteem, and moral values can block our ability to feel pride, confidence, and self‑worth. Discover the transformative journey from hiding in shame to embracing your truth — because healing isn’t just about surviving, it’s about learning to receive love, honor your growth, and allow yourself to be proud.

What you’ll learn:

• The difference between false modesty vs. healthy pride & confidence

• How personal values, morals, and beliefs shape whether you feel worthy of compliments
