In this episode of the Path of the Awakened Heart podcast, I’m joined by breathwork and trauma expert Alyse Bacine, creator of The Metamorphosis Method. With more than two decades of experience facilitating breathwork, Alyse shares how trauma imprints live in the body and why simply talking about them is rarely enough. She offers insight into her framework for helping women identify their core wound, release childhood and womb imprints, and reclaim their power in life, love, and leadership.

Together we explore what it truly means to hold a clean, safe space beyond being “trauma-informed,” how breathwork opens the subconscious to process suppressed emotions, and the ways authentic healing naturally expands intuition, purpose, and confidence. We also talk about discernment when choosing mentors, the strength of vulnerability in leadership, moving beyond the guru paradigm, and the energetic shifts we’re entering as Neptune transitions into Aries.

Episode Highlights:

[07:37] Alyse shares her journey from school counselor to founder of the Metamorphosis Method, integrating breathwork, trauma clearing, and energy work for fast, targeted transformation.

[11:06] She explains the “core wound” concept - distilling many life traumas into one root pattern - and how recognizing it unlocks change across relationships, business, and self-worth.

[14:30] Alyse introduces “birth story” work, showing how womb and early-life imprints (like her mother’s fear during a teachers’ strike) shape our baseline nervous system and decisions.

[33:29] On vulnerability in leadership, she advises healing the root trauma that makes openness feel unsafe - so vulnerability becomes embodied strength rather than forced performance.
