In this episode, I dive into the real work of healing emotional triggers, especially when they show up in our relationships. I walk you through how to find the root emotion behind your reactions, why childhood experiences still impact us today, and why true healing happens when we allow ourselves to feel our pain instead of avoiding it.

I also share personal stories and practical tools you can use to start breaking old patterns, create healthier connections, and hold more unconditional love for yourself and the people around you. When we do this work, our relationships become more peaceful, authentic, and soul-aligned.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• How to find the root of a trigger and heal it

• Why feeling through the pain is necessary for growth

• How your healing work shifts relationship dynamics

• The importance of staying anchored in today's reality instead of old wounds

Today, I’m sharing a powerful conversation about something we all need but many of us were never taught: how to become a healthy adult.

In this episode, I walk through the five pillars of emotional health from my new book The Adult Chair and how each one helps us break old patterns, heal childhood wounds, and feel more grounded in our lives. I also open up about my own story, from growing up around anger to learning how to set boundaries and reconnect with my true self.

This is about personal growth, yes, but it’s also about freedom, better relationships, parenting, and how we show up in the world.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• Why disassociation and numbing are actually survival tools

• What real boundaries look like and why they matter

• How childhood wounds shape our adult behavior

• How I used food to cope and what I’ve learned

• Why every adult needs this guide for emotional health

Today, I’m answering a question I get all the time: “How do I connect with my soul?” The answer isn’t complicated, but it does requires us to slow down. I’m sharing how simple micro-moments of presence can help you tune into your inner wisdom and return to yourself. I’ll also tell a personal story about how a quiet walk (not the episode I planned!) turned into the download for this conversation.

You don’t need hours of meditation to feel your soul. Just a minute of silence, a breath, or a moment of stillness can shift everything.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

• What soul connection really feels like

• The difference between living from ego vs. soul

• How slowing down opens space for your inner voice

• Why emotional presence leads to peace and freedom

• A practical way to start connecting with your soul today
