I've recognized a pattern within myself -- every time I return to my childhood/parent's home, I feel the need to numb myself to unnecessary levels.

In this episode, we are moving through discomfort, fighting the urge to numb and practicing intentionality with all that we consume

"joy is my birthright" - Shauntelle

Braving Wander's very first LIVE recording! I'm really excited to bring this format to this podcast.

I got on IG LIVE with Shauntelle Boyer after only a couple of weeks of talking and getting to know one another. She is someone who has quickly become soul family. 

Shauntelle is doing work to guide black queer women/people back home, to self, and that is what we get into in this episode!

this series is top 3 on my “best experiences of 2021” list! We’re still chatting with some lovely participants from Wellness Official’s first NYC Energy Healing training

Melanie Palmietto is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, licensed in New York. Melanie helps adolescents and adults navigate their human experience and connect with their soul selves while healing and getting to know all parts of themselves. Melanie will guide you through identifying tools specific to your healing you and will provide a safe and judgement free space.

She shared one of my favorite things about breathwork ‘during the training I had access to parts of myself that I was numbing and shying away from.” If you use breathwork as a tool, then you know how real this is!

We also get into releasing the power marijuana was holding over her! It started out as something she really enjoyed but it turned into a numbing tool. When and how did she come to terms with the real message behind that connection? TUNE IN TO FIND OUT!

AGAIN… this is another chat that needs a part 2!

"I was 11 ... I wasn't feeling well so my mom taught me how to throw up. Little did either of us know, that would be the beginning to a decade long bulimic stint" - Sabi

Sabi Habib is a Holistic Health Coach based out of Salt Lake City, Utah helping folks heal their relationships with substances, their bodies, and themselves.

You do not want to miss out on Sabi's story! 

On day 2 of the energy healing training, i looked at Sabi and wanted to tell her how much i loved her but didn’t want to embarrass myself cause WE JUST MET! Come to find out, she felt the same way. Our connection is undeniable & I'm so blessed to have had the opportunity to sit with her and go deeper into her story. Sabi did NOT hold back so I know you will enjoy the hell out of this episode. Her story is WILD — we even joked about the fact that she hasn’t been on A&E’s Intervention ‼️

We talk shame around her whiteness, being disowned by the immigrant side of her family, ED and substance abuse starting at the age of 11 and how IBS was the catalyst to her taking a real hard look at herself and the life she was creating

We’re just getting started! this is only part 1

'So much of my life has changed since starting breathwork" - Brenna

I loved getting a glimpse into the Akashic Records with Brenna! She is a Breathwork Meditation Facilitator and Akashic Records Reader. Breathwork Meditation brought her back to herself and introduced her to her power. Breathwork expanded her consciousness which opened her up to the exploration of past lives and the Akashic Records. Through learning about reincarnation, She became interested in helping people uncover their soul purpose in this life. She guides in one-on-one sessions with her clients and through conversations and personal experiences on her podcast For Your Healing Pleasure. She is currently based in Southern California.

We talk akashic records, being sober curious, breathwork and everything in between! Tune in nowwww!

Destiny of Souls by Michael Newton Ph. D.

This is the calm after the storm... I recorded this voice memo right after crying my eyes out! I'm going through a deep transformation that I've been talking about on Instagram and via my mailing list and I want to share all parts of my healing with the Braving Wander community -- the highs, the lows, the aha moments, all the shadow work, healing my inner child etc -- so of course I had to share this with you.

Here I talk about why I stepped back from doing healing work for a bit and the magic that was birthed. ENJOY, this is a GOOD one!

In this episode I'm taking you through an awareness technique I often use to gain clarity! 

If you're anything like me, you can't seem to write as fast your thoughts are coming through. I use this recorded word vomit technique to declutter my spiritual, emotional and mental spaces. 

My intention is that you hear something you needed to hear, that you feel seen.

Part two to our discussion on SHADOW WORK! 

“Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is. At all counts, it forms an unconscious snag, thwarting our most well-meant intentions.” - Carl Jung

Questions for shadow work:

Who would you be if you were unafraid?

Who would you be if you stopped self-sabotaging?

Who would you be if you allowed yourself to soar?

Are you the problem?

Are you honoring your boundaries and respecting the boundaries of others?

As a child…

What about you wasn’t being accepted?

What did you have to hide about yourself?

What didn’t you receive?

What wasn’t enough for you?
