  • Cycle Breaker - The Pain, Power, and Purpose of Ending Generational Trauma

    In this episode, we dive into the weight and honor of being a cycle breaker and healing generational trauma. I unpack how unhealed trauma not only attracts more of the same pain but can also manifest as physical disease when left unprocessed. I explore how trauma, family secrets, and emotional suppression get passed down until someone is brave enough to stop the cycle. I share how somatic healing, self-awareness, and radical compassion can help us re-pattern our nervous systems and rewrite the story— not just for ourselves, but for future and past generations.


    Disclaimer: This episode does touch upon my childhood sexual assault. Please listen at your own discretion.


    What you'll hear:


    • Logic vs. Emotion: Why simply knowing something happened isn’t the same as being ready to feel it— and how emotional processing unfolds on its own sacred timeline.
    • The Path to Healing: What it really means to reveal, feel, and heal— and why this process can’t be rushed, forced, or bypassed.
    • The Black Sheep Role: Why being the cycle breaker in a family is both isolating and deeply courageous— and how disruption is often the first step toward liberation.
    • The Science of Trauma: A look at how trauma is passed down not just emotionally, but biologically through epigenetics— and how your body might be living out stress patterns that aren’t even yours.
    • Patterns Repeat Until We Heal: Unhealed trauma becomes an energetic magnet, pulling in similar experiences until we recognize and choose differently.
    • The Cost of Silence: Family secrets fester in the dark, causing repeated dysfunction through generations because no one dares to speak the truth.
    • Your Purpose is Sacred: Being chosen to break cycles isn’t easy—but it’s an honor. You’re not alone, and you were made for this mission.


    This episode is a heart-led invitation to do the deep, uncomfortable work — with compassion, curiosity, and celebration for every small win along the way.

  • Whispers of the Soul - Meeting Yourself in the Silence with Allie Schlener

    In this powerful episode of the Perfectly Broken Podcast, I sit down with the nurturing and wise Allie Schlener — an intuitive healer, spiritual life coach, and special soul who’s been part of my journey through my spiritual awakening. Allie shares her raw and transformative story of cultivating a beautiful relationship with her body and intuition, losing and reclaiming her voice, and the near-death experience that awakened her connection to spirit. We explore the beauty in duality, the purpose in pain, and the deep truth that healing is not linear — but sacred.


    What you'll hear:


    • The Power of Presence: How one grounded, loving soul can make you feel instantly safe — and why that matters in healing.
    • Healing Through Extremes: Why swinging from one end of the spectrum to the other is sometimes necessary to find your authentic middle.
    • The Voice Within: Reclaiming your voice after years of silencing it — and how true expression comes from integrity, not performance.
    • Science Meets Spirit: Merging her love for anatomy and psychology with spiritual awareness to bridge the gap between mind, body, and soul.
    • Cultivating Intuition as a Relationship: Intuition isn’t something to master; it’s something to build trust with, like a shy friend who opens up with time, patience, and love.
    • Letting Go of the Ego to Hear the Soul: Practicing the role of the witness (vs. reacting from ego) creates space for your higher self to step forward with clarity and calm.
    • The Sacred Practice of Silence: Silence isn’t just about not speaking — it’s about not consuming. It's a return to self, a spiritual detox, and a way to hear what’s really underneath the noise.
    • Embodiment Over Escapism: Spiritual practices shouldn’t be a way to avoid hard conversations—they should prepare us to show up for them.

  • Going Inward - Where the Real Healing Begins

    In this episode, I dive into a recent mushroom journey— not to focus on the trip itself, but the deep inner process that unfolded. It’s a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t always look how we expect it to. Sometimes, the medicine comes in the form of presence, trust, and letting go of the need to force it. This episode is an invitation to stop obsessing over your healing and remember that you are allowed to just be.


    What you'll hear:


    • Let Go of Expectations: Healing won’t always look the way you imagined— and that’s okay.
    • Surrender Control: True transformation happens when you stop trying to force the process.
    • Inner Child Trust: Your inner child knows the way— can you give them the space to lead?
    • Presence Over Perfection: Constantly chasing healing can pull you out of the present moment.
    • You Already Know: The answers you seek are already within— you just have to listen.

  • Rewiring for Abundance - Manifestation, Money, & Nervous System Work with Alana Stelly

    In this episode, I sit down with Alana Stelly, a Licensed MentalHealth Therapist turned Manifestation Coach to explore the power of mindset, manifestation, and nervous system regulation. Our conversation stemmed from a unique moment— when Alana unfollowed me on social media, and instead of taking it personally, I leaned into curiosity. What followed was a profound discussion about self-empowerment, vulnerability, and the intersection of manifestation and healing.


    What you'll hear:


    • Manifesting Abundance: The mindset shifts that helped her attract $60,000 to clear debt.
    • The Science of Manifestation: Why nervous system regulation is the missing link to making dreams a reality.
    • Energetic Protection: Protecting our energy by being intentional about who we connect with, setting boundaries, and limiting overstimulation to preserve energy.
    • Empath Overload: Learning to distinguish between our emotions and what we absorb from others.
    • Body Awareness: Tuning into physical sensations to determine if a relationship is aligned.
    • Self-Awareness & Vulnerability: You must get vulnerable with yourself to understand your true desires beyond societal or familial expectations.

  • Act As If - Becoming the Version of You That Has It All (How I Healed My Eating Disorder Overnight Through Embodiment)

    In this episode, we dive deep into the power of embodiment— how stepping into the energy of your desired reality is the key to actually creating it. Instead of staying stuck in a cycle of wanting and lack, we explore how to align your actions, thoughts, and behaviors with the version of you that already has the life you desire.


    What you'll hear:


    • Manifestation requires embodiment: It’s not enough to affirm or visualize; you must act as if you are already that version of yourself.
    • Expanding into possibility: Exposure to expanders— people who embody the life you want— can help shift your beliefs.
    • Release lack energy: If you’re constantly wanting, you’re reinforcing that you don’t have it— shift into feeling like it’s already yours.
    • Daily alignment: Your habits, mindset, and energy should reflect the reality you desire, not just your morning routine.
    • Integrity with yourself: True transformation happens behind closed doors— stay accountable even when no one is watching.


    Tune in to learn how to step into your next-level self and embody the life you truly desire.

  • Men & Emotions - Redefining Strength Through Self-Work and Healing with Liam Lindner

    In this episode, I welcome on my first male guest, Liam Lindner, to explore the power of vulnerability, especially for men, and the journey to embracing both logic and creativity in the healing process. Our guest, a software engineer and improv performer, shares his experiences growing up in a high-control religious environment, overcoming public speaking fears, and leaning into discomfort to grow. We discuss therapy, psychedelics, and how men can break free from emotional suppression to live more fulfilling lives.


    What you’ll hear:


    Vulnerability is Strength: Men can and should embrace their emotions and healing journey, and the power of therapy and receiving support along the journey.

    Leaning Into Discomfort: Facing fears head-on can lead to unexpected personal breakthroughs and allow us to really grow.

    Know Thyself: Self-awareness is the foundation for a richer, more empowered life.

    Bridging Science & Spirituality: Moving beyond rigid religious beliefs, the conversation explores how spirituality and science can coexist, embracing mystery without dogma.

  • Understanding Your Stress Responses - How Your Nervous System Shapes Relationships

    Hey there! In this episode, we dive into nervous system regulation and how our stress responses impact our ability to be vulnerable in relationships. This is just a glimpse of what we explore in Soulfully Seen, where we go deeper into healing patterns and rewiring the nervous system for authentic connections.


    Join the Soulfully Seen - Turning Vulnerability into Your Superpower Waitlist


    What you’ll hear:

    • The Nervous System: Understanding the sympathetic (fight/flight) and parasympathetic (rest/digest) responses.
    • Stress Responses: We each have a dominant fight, flight, freeze, or fawn response when faced with stress.

      Fight: Reacting defensively, controlling situations, picking fights.

      Flight: Avoidance, overworking, perfectionism, staying busy to escape emotions.

      Freeze:Feeling numb, shutting down, dissociating, ghosting difficult situations.

      Fawn:People-pleasing, shapeshifting to be accepted, losing oneself in relationships.

    • Origins of Stress Responses: These patterns develop in childhood as survival mechanisms.
    • Rewiring the Nervous System: Learning to shift from reaction to response through regulation techniques.
    • Somatic Practices for Regulation: Box breathing, movement, shaking, self-soothing, and EFT tapping help reset the nervous system.

  • 3 Hard Lessons in Vulnerability - What I Wish I Knew Sooner

    Join the Soulfully Seen - Turning Vulnerability into Your Superpower Waitlist


    Hey there! In this episode, we’re diving into three hard-learned lessons about vulnerability. I share my journey from avoiding vulnerability to oversharing and eventually finding a healthy balance. Vulnerability is a powerful tool, but it requires discernment, integrity, and self-awareness. Let’s explore how to use it wisely.


    What you'll hear:


    • Be discerning with who you share with – People must earn the right to hear your story. Not everyone will hold your vulnerability with care.
    • Only share what’s yours to share – Respect others’ stories and privacy. You can share how something affected you but not someone else's personal experience.
    • Be intentional with vulnerability – Avoid using it as a tool for validation, manipulation, or oversharing. Share with clarity and purpose.


    By understanding these lessons, you can harness the power ofvulnerability in a way that fosters deeper connection, authenticity, and self-growth.
