The Love Fix

Sherry and Carla first talk about embracing your creativity, even if you have no clue how to put together that Lego set. They take a Love Fix question from a listener who believes that their toxic ex gave them an STD and are wondering how to move forward. They then welcome Evelyn Hale, a Trauma Coach supporting survivors of childhood trauma and helping them reclaim their power through a range of holistic practices that rewire the nervous system, heart, and mind. Evelyn's own journey of healing from childhood sexual and complex trauma led her to have a spiritual awakening that guided her to create a process that helps others find inner peace in what can otherwise feel like an all-encompassing pain. Outside of her practice, Evelyn finds great joy in creating art and spending time with her son in upstate New York.
