The day I saw Felisha's first post in my Instagram community I was definitely concerned. Her despair was so thick, her hope so low. This is precisely the reason that I have been so inspired by her journey. This was supposed to be a Real Time Heal, but it quickly turned into a success story.
Felicia's dire diagnoses, alongside her total unwillingness to stop searching, has led to an amazing transformation in her. This is about mor...

In this episode, we look at why symptoms often increase around the holidays and how personal boundaries can reduce that pattern. When you take on more than you can emotionally manageâor stay silent to keep the peaceâthe nervous system...

In todayâs episode, we explore a powerful insight backed by neuroscience:children regulate emotionally not through our advice, but through our presence. Drawing from a recent study, we break down how a simple daily practice â asking a child about their day and responding with calm acknowledgment instead of problem-solving â can significantly strengthen emoti...

In this "sister" episode to last week's Prison of Perfect, we unpack the concept of toxic shameâthe deep, painful belief that âI am bad,â rather than âI did something bad.â We'll discuss how this core wound often begins in childhood, when emotional needs for safety and connection go unmet. Over time, internalized shame becomes the background music of our lives, fueling pe...

In this episode, we take a deep dive into what I call the prison of perfectâthe exhausting pattern of trying to get everything right so you can finally feel safe, loved, or in control. Join us as we explore where this need comes from, how it shows up in our bodies as pain and anxiety, and why perfectionism is really just protection in disguise.

As I know from experience, seeing a significant problem inside oneâs body and hearing about a dark prognosis from a physician can really rock your world.

People can be our biggest tiggers. Opposing views and perspectives on issues that are dear to us feel dangerous. Symptoms flare when we repress our feelings to keep the peace. But the alternativeâconflictâfeels unsafe too. How do we walk that tightrope, honoring our need for authenticity and belonging? Differing ideas & opin...
