Have you ever had a moment where your emotional reaction felt way bigger than the situation? Like sobbing under a blanket because someone said something slightly hurtful… or clenching your jaw so hard your dentist would be concerned? 😅

What if that wasn’t you overreacting?
What if you were feeling something ancient?

In this powerful, vulnerable, and mystical episode, I’m sharing how ancestral trauma can live in your body - how emotions and patterns that seem “too much” may actually be sacred clues that you're breaking cycles that go back generations.

You’ll hear:

• A story involving cherry blossoms, electric shocks, and multi-generational mice.
• The personal breakdown I experienced in 2022 that I thought was about launching a business… but was actually about marriage, lineage, and freedom.
• The mediumship session that connected me to a rage-filled ancestor - and how that moment clarified my mission.

And you’ll walk away with:

• Three ways to deepen your ancestral healing journey
• Somatic and energetic tools that actually work (no re-traumatizing required)
• A soft place to land if you’ve ever wondered, “Why does this hurt so much?”

This is not a surface-level convo. It’s deep soul work, wrapped in love, magic, and just the right amount of unhinged energy. 🔥

You don’t need more discipline. You don’t need to push harder. And you definitely don’t need to be perfect.

What you do need? A united will—a deep inner alignment between your desires, beliefs, emotions, and actions.

• Why relying on willpower alone keeps you stuck
• What to do when your inner parts are at war
• My personal pattern of self-sabotage (yep, including Popeyes and Crazy Bread 🙃)

Plus: a powerful reframe on your cravings, your perfectionism, and your visionary path.
