In this episode of The Healing Version Podcast, host Deborah sits down with transformational speaker and personal development leader John Diggs for a powerful, eye-opening conversation. John opens up about his journey from life as a professional athlete to navigating deep personal and financial setbacks—losing his business and home during the 2008 financial crisis.

Through these challenges, John discovered a new path that reshaped his purpose. He explains how mind mapping became a vital tool in his healing and growth, ultimately inspiring him to create his signature method, "mappineering." This innovative approach helps people gain clarity, direction, and a deeper understanding of themselves.

John also introduces his transformational system, "I Am My Map," which guides individuals to uncover who they truly are and what they genuinely want out of life. He offers grounded, practical advice for anyone feeling stuck, lost, or unsure of their next move—reminding listeners that clarity begins with looking inward.

This inspiring conversation is filled with personal stories, lessons, and empowering insights designed to help you reclaim your sense of purpose and chart a path toward the life you desire.

In this powerful conversation, Jane McGuinness breaks down what emotional hunger really is—and why so many of us try to fill our inner wounds with food, perfectionism, or people-pleasing. Blending her clinical expertise with her lived experience, Jane takes us deeper into the topics of self-worth, identity, mindfulness, and the truth about healing.

If you've ever struggled with emotional eating, body image, shame, or the pressure to "be enough," this episode will hit home. Jane shares how her book Always Hungry was born out of honesty, vulnerability, and the desire to help others understand the real roots of emotional eating. She opens up about slim privilege, the pain of being treated differently in a larger body, and the moment she realized her hunger was never about food—it was about unmet emotional needs.

** Content Warning: This episode includes discussion of childhood sexual trauma, addiction, and suicidal thoughts. Please listen with care and step away if you need to.

In this powerful conversation on Versions of Healing, a segment of The Healing Version podcast, host Dee-bo-rah sits down with Shannon Curtis, founder of Angel Goddess Healing and author of No More Monsters Under the Bed: Shining Your Light on the Dark.

Shannon opens up about her journey through childhood sexual abuse, a seven-year addiction to pain medication, depression, anxiety, miscarriages, infertility, and the end of a 15-year marriage—and how all of it ultimately led her back to self-love, spiritual awakening, and purpose.

She shares a life-changing experience with the plant medicine iboga/ibogaine in Mexico, where she was able to remember and process her childhood trauma, confront her perpetrator on a soul level, and experience true forgiveness. Shannon breaks down what forgiveness really is (and what it's not), and how it helped her release shame, reclaim her power, and unlock her spiritual gifts.

We also talk about generational trauma—including Shannon supporting her own daughter through her healing process—why addiction is often a coping tool rather than "the problem," and how curiosity instead of judgment can change the way we understand addiction, anger, and behavior in both adults and children.

About Shannon Curtis

Shannon Curtis is a spiritual coach, intuitive guide, founder of Angel Goddess Healing, and author of No More Monsters Under the Bed: Shining Your Light on the Dark. She helps individuals move from shame, addiction, and unprocessed trauma into emotional freedom, spiritual growth, and inner peace.

Today on The Healing Version, I sit down with Julian—a therapist, guide, and companion on the journey back to wholeness. Julian's work goes beyond traditional therapy. He helps people navigate trauma, explore identity, and integrate the often-misunderstood world of psychedelic experiences.

What sets Julian apart is his deeply human approach. Rooted in presence, deep listening, somatic awareness, and honest self-inquiry, his work offers a sacred space for transformation. Clients describe their time with him as some of the most life-shifting experiences they've ever had.

In this conversation, we explore:

• 🌱 What it means to be a companion on the healing path

• 🧩 Survival patterns—how they form and how to soften them

• 🌊 What true healing feels like, and why it's rarely linear

• 🍄 The truths and misconceptions of psychedelic integration

• 🧠 How to support yourself if you feel "stuck" in your healing

• 🫁 The power of presence and somatic practices when words aren't enough

• 💡 One truth about healing that Julian wishes more people knew

Whether you're navigating trauma, curious about integration, or simply longing to return to your deepest self, this episode is an invitation to slow down, listen inward, and remember your wholeness.

In this raw and resonant conversation, host Deborah Moffatt of The Healing Version sits down with licensed clinical social worker and founder of Restority Space, Fanny Tristan, to unpack the complex intersection of trauma, womanhood, and singlehood for Black and Brown women.

Fanny shares her journey into social work and how her personal experiences as an eldest daughter shaped her trauma-informed approach. She highlights the unique emotional challenges that firstborn daughters face—especially perfectionism, anxiety, and depression—and how these intersect with systemic pressures around relationships, marriage, and motherhood.

Together, Deborah and Fanny dive deep into the colonized mindsets around love, self-worth, and gender roles. Fanny explains how women often internalize shame or a sense of being "behind" when single in their 30s or 40s, and why therapy shouldn't always be about diagnosing but about creating supportive, holistic environments where women can thrive.

Fanny also discusses how her platform, Her Soul Supply, offers live masterclasses, retreats (like her recent one in Oaxaca, Mexico), and group coaching for single Black and Brown women to heal, explore their identity, and form intentional sisterhood.

This episode is a rich, unfiltered reminder that:

• You don't have to be chosen to be worthy.

• Softness requires safety.

• Sisterhood heals.

• Healing is political.
