Tapping Into Possibility: Energy Psychology for Real, Lasting Change
What if healing didn’t have to be hard—or mean fixing something “broken”? In this powerful conversation, Dr. Adriana Popescu invites us to reimagine mental health, trauma recovery, and personal growth through the lens of Energy Psychology.
Dr. Adriana—a clinical psychologist, empowerment coach, author, and host of Kaleidoscope of Possibilities—specializes in treating trauma and addiction by blending neuroscience, subtle energy work, and transformational insight. She shares how unresolved trauma gets locked in the body, why it often fuels addiction and chronic emotional pain, and how energy-based tools like EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) and tapping can bypass traditional blocks to create real, lasting change.
We discussed:
✅ How she came to this groundbreaking work.
✅ What makes Energy Psychology different from traditional talk therapy.
✅ The science and practice of EFT—and why it works.
✅Dr. Adriana's experiences and Leann's experiences thorough their healing journey with Energy Psychology and other alternative healing modalities.
✅ How do unresolved traumas manifest as addiction or chronic emotional pain.
✅ Adverse childhood experiences (ACE) study.
✅ The core message behind her book What If You’re Not As F**ed Up As You Think You Are?
✅ First steps anyone can take to begin healing with energy-based tools.
✅ How she integrates empowerment coaching into her clinical practice.
✅ Dr. Adriana also gives us a sneak peek at her upcoming book EFT for Addiction (coming late 2025).
If you’ve struggled with trauma, addiction, anxiety, shame, or self-judgment, this episode will meet you where you are and open the doorway to possibility. Dr. Adriana reminds us that healing is not about fixing what’s broken—it’s about uncovering the wholeness that’s been there all along.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
