Sacred Surrender: Reclaiming Your Power Through Letting Go

What if surrender isn’t giving up—but coming home to yourself? In this deeply soulful episode of Happiness On Tap, Leann Herron sits down with intuitive healer and life coach Emily Gilcrease for a heart-opening conversation about the power of sacred surrender.

Emily—who blends psychology, spirituality, Reiki, and behavioral science—shares her personal journey and how releasing control allowed her to reclaim her voice, realign with her truth, and live more authentically.From her roots in Houma, Louisiana to her current role as a guide for others on their healing path, Emily brings over a decade of experience in psychology and a deep spiritual calling. She opens up about how tuning into her intuition reshaped the way she lives and serves, and how surrender—often misunderstood as weakness—is actually a radical act of strength and reclamation.

Together, Leann and Emily explore:

"The more you have to unpack, the more you have to discover." - Emily Gilcrease
