Join your cohosts Stacie and Brooke on "Transforming and Thriving" for a profound and deeply personal conversation with Katie Estberg, integrative healing practitioner and Doctoral Candidate in Clinical Psychology. Brooke shares how a professional connection with Katie blossomed into a meaningful friendship rooted in a shared commitment to helping others, praising Katie’s warmth, intelligence, and heart.

In this episode, Katie bravely shares a pivotal “before and after” moment in her life: her experience with a miscarriage. She opens up about the profound grief and isolation she felt, and how this led her to an incredible breakthrough through her own use of EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). She reveals how EMDR helped her uncover a deep, subconscious link between her adult grief and an early childhood experience of feeling alone, ultimately transforming her personal healing journey and professional purpose.

This powerful conversation explores the complexities of grief, the truth about anger in the healing process, and the importance of self-care and resilience. Katie Estberg shares her unique approach to holding space for others, blending neuroscience with holistic modalities like EMDR and Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy to help individuals move through trauma and loss. Her story is a testament to the fact that profound personal pain can be transformed into a powerful mission to help others heal.
