This week on Surviving Roots, I sit down with spiritual healer and author Lauren Courtney to explore what it really looks like to heal from the inside out. Lauren shares her journey from being a medicated teen in New York to becoming a Miami-based energy healer, sound therapist, and author of Glow Up Your Chakras.
Together, we unpack the truth about healing highs, spiritual awakenings, reconnecting with your authentic self, and how grief can crack you open to your life’s purpose. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re truly healing or just performing a new version of self-improvement — this episode is for you.
We discuss:
Chakras, trauma, and self-remembrance
The dark side of awakening (and what comes after the “healing high”)
Why you don’t need crystals, ayahuasca, or a guru to start healing
Moving from chaos to clarity — one choice at a time
Tune in and walk away with inspiration, insight, and the reminder that your power lives in your truth.
