In this deeply honest and powerful episode of Powered by Joy, I’m joined by intuitive guide and alchemical coach Rhonda Skallan of Spark Alchemy. Together, we explore the many layers of trauma—both the big, life-altering events and the quiet, hidden wounds (death by a 1000 papercuts!) that shape us just as much.
We dive into how our personal stories and past experiences affect how we show up in life, love, and success—and how healing these layers, especially through inner child work, is essential to creating a life that feels joyful, empowered, and free to experience success at your highest level.
Rhonda shares insights on working with the nervous system, self-trust, and what it means to come home to yourself after loss, grief, or disconnection. Whether you’re navigating your own healing or supporting someone you love, this episode will offer comfort, perspective, and powerful reminders that transformation is possible—and success, health and joy are still yours to claim.
✨ In this episode, we explore:- How trauma shows up in subtle and surprising ways
- The connection between healing and true success
- Inner child work as a tool for freedom and self-compassion
