Healing Trauma & Conscious Parenting with Nikki Janowiak 🌲 Episode 6 from the Forest Edge

In this episode of Forest Alchemy, we sit down with our dear friend Nikki Janowiak—a TRTP (The Richards Trauma Process) practitioner at Land of Light in Paw Paw, Michigan. Nikki shares her journey into trauma healing work, the power of addressing the unconscious mind, and how TRTP helps people rewrite core beliefs and step into empowerment.

We also dive into conscious parenting, the importance of repair, and embracing emotions like anxiety and guilt as guides instead of enemies. Nikki opens up about her family’s adventure of downsizing into an RV, traveling to Florida, and beginning to build their dream home on new land.

This conversation weaves together trauma healing, parenting, community, and the courage to step into a new way of living.

✨ Topics we explore:

• What TRTP is and how it works with the unconscious mind

• Parenting as a spiritual path and the importance of repair

• Befriending anxiety and shifting patterns of guilt and shame

• Downsizing, traveling, and starting fresh on new land

• The balance of relationships and following creative callings

As always, we close with a Forest Echo, featuring wisdom from Gabor Maté and Dr. Shefali Tsabary on parenting, presence, and the awakened family.
