In this powerful episode, Dwayne Barnes breaks down the hidden emotional signals that reveal when your needs are being ignored, dismissed, or unmet. If you’ve been feeling anxious, frustrated, exhausted, disconnected, or emotionally numb, this conversation will help you finally understand what your emotions are really trying to tell you.

Your emotions are not random. They are messengers pointing toward your unmet emotional needs — whether it's safety, connection, respect, rest, purpose, or love. Dwayne walks you through the emotional warning signs of fear, anger, frustration, sadness, fatigue, confusion, disconnection, vulnerability, and yearning — helping you connect these feelings back to the deeper needs underneath.

✅ In this episode, you’ll learn about:

• How unmet emotional needs show up in your daily life
• The truth behind frustration, anger, anxiety & burnout
• How to listen to your emotions instead of suppressing them
• Why your feelings are sacred signals, not flaws
• How honoring your needs creates emotional freedom and healing

If you're ready to stop guessing why you feel the way you do — and finally start healing — this episode is for you.

What if your confidence isn’t something you have to earn, but something you remember?

In this soul-deep episode, I sit down with trauma survivor and hypnotherapist Prema Saraswati, whose story of surviving genocide, abuse, and cultural oppression leads us into a conversation on healing, inner power, and the subconscious roots of confidence.

Together, we explore:

• How surviving trauma shaped Prema’s spiritual path
• The truth about confidence and why it’s not something you “gain” — it’s something you reclaim
• Why hypnotherapy works when willpower and affirmations fall short
• The “iceberg” model of the mind and how 88% of your behavior is shaped below the surface
• Dependable love, ancestral trauma, and the sacred invitation to truly heal

Prema’s story is living proof: your past may shape you, but it never has to define you. Tune in and discover how your deepest pain can transmute into your highest power.
