In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Nathan Spagnola—shamanic practitioner, world traveler, and cycle breaker. Nathan shares his unexpected journey into healing and shamanism, how plant medicine opened his heart, and what it really takes to walk the path of truth, especially as a man in today’s world.

We dive into:
• Healing the healer first
• Why real transformation starts with self-accountability
• The burden of silence for men—and the power of speaking up
• Emotional abuse, trauma, and the rise of the #MenToo movement
• How we reclaim our joy, personal freedom, and inner peace
• What it means to create heaven on Earth, one choice at a time

Nathan’s story is one of pain, awareness, and redemption. His vulnerability is a call to all of us—male or female—to face our shadows, break inherited patterns, and choose a different future.

✨ Quote from Nathan:
“When you do the work, you reclaim the joy you thought was lost… and you become a safe place for others to do the same.”

✨ Quote from Corinne:
“I don’t want anyone to feel like I did as a child. That’s why I speak. That’s why I do this podcast. The secret stops with me.”

In this deeply resonant episode of The Secret KeepHers, I’m joined by the brilliant and deeply grounded Lorraine Berg—Founder of Human Centered Workplaces and a Strategic Leadership Analyst certified through the BG5 Business Institute.

Lorraine shares her powerful journey from leading a top-tier, high-performance beauty business to experiencing a total system collapse—physically, emotionally, and spiritually. What followed was a radical unraveling, a health crisis, and ultimately, a return to alignment.

We talk about:
• The hidden burnout of overfunctioning leaders
• Ego death and the grief of letting go of what no longer fits
• The cost of outsourcing your worth to performance
• The new workplace paradigm—and what human-centered leadership actually looks like
• The role Human Design and BG5 play in personal and professional transformation
• The ripple effect of internal clarity on external leadership

Lorraine gets real about what it took to step away from a nationally recognized business—and into her truest, most sustainable work yet. This is not just a story of career change… it’s a story of reclamation.

****Trigger warning: This episode references different types of abuse. As with all episodes, this information is based on Mary's personal experience and opinions.****

In this episode, I sit down with Mary Breuer, visionary behind Studio Nude Boudoir, to talk about identity, trauma, healing, and the power of seeing yourself fully and without shame.

Mary shares the moment she uncovered a life-altering family secret through a DNA test, and how that revelation cracked open decades of generational trauma, identity confusion, and hidden pain. But it didn’t stop there, Mary used it as a catalyst to reclaim her truth, own her story, and help others do the same.

What began as her own healing journey turned into sacred work...holding space for women to feel safe in their skin and powerful in their presence.

"I stopped performing. I stopped apologizing. I decided it was time to live for me." Mary

"We don’t heal by hiding. We heal by telling the truth—and letting it set us free." Corinne

In this conversation, we explore:
– How our bodies carry the stories we try to ignore
– The truth about people-pleasing, illness, and suppressed trauma
– Boudoir as a sacred return to self—not performance for others
– Mary’s Coloring Confidence art therapy journal and why it matters

Bio: Mary Breuer – Boudoir Photographer, Healer, and Empowerment Catalyst

Mary Breuer is more than a boudoir photographer, she’s a force of reclamation. As the founder of Studio NÜDE Boudoir in Green Bay, Wisconsin, Mary creates sacred spaces where women and couples come home to themselves, often for the first time in years. With a camera in hand and compassion in her heart, she helps her clients see their bodies not as problems to be fixed, but as stories worth honoring.

Her work is deeply personal. It was born from her own journey of healing—through religious trauma, emotional abuse, single motherhood, and the quiet ache of starting over. Instead of becoming hardened, Mary chose to soften. She turned her pain into power, and her lens into a tool for transformation. What began as photography became a form of exposure therapy, helping both her and her clients face their truth with tenderness and courage.

Mary’s sessions are not about vanity, they’re about visibility. She invites her clients to show up fully: in their scars, their softness, their longing, and their strength. Whether she’s guiding a woman into a moment of self-love, capturing deep connection between couples, or celebrating someone’s journey through divorce, recovery, or reinvention, Mary meets them there with reverence.

Beyond the studio, she’s a mother of three daughters, an advocate for radical self-acceptance, and the creator of Coloring Confidence, a self-portrait therapy coloring book designed to bring healing into the hands of those who need it most.

Mary’s story is one of survival, soul, and coming home to the body and she’s just getting started

Welcome back to The Secret Keepers Podcast. In this powerful episode, I’m joined by my friend and fellow transformation warrior, Diana Flowe, a nurse, a mama, a grandmother, and a woman who has walked through the fire of addiction and come out the other side with 29 years of sobriety and a mission to serve.

Diana shares the deeply personal story of her journey from childhood trauma, insecurity, and feeling unloved, to addiction, suicide attempts, and ultimately, radical self-love and healing. Her transformation didn’t come easy..it came with hard work, mentorship, faith, and a willingness to rewrite the story she had always believed about herself.

We talk about:

• Growing up feeling unseen, unloved, and disconnected

• How addiction took root and what it took to truly get clean

• The role of faith, journaling, and reprogramming self-beliefs

• Learning to love herself, even when no one else showed her how

• Becoming a nurse, a mentor, and a living example that healing is possible

• The power of having one person who believes in you

• How to help others reclaim their worth when they feel too far gone

Diana’s golden nugget?
"Love yourself, and find someone who loves you unconditionally until you can believe it for yourself."

Her story is raw, real, and exactly what someone out there needs to hear today.

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction or self-worth, this episode is a lifeline of hope, truth, and gentle encouragement.
