Greetings Adult Child Family,
In this episode, I had the pleasure of sitting in conversation with a truly courageous soul who overcame years of hardship, struggle & abuse in childhood and how she was able to pause and recover from the debilitating symptoms of complex ptsd.
Dr. Jeanne was diagnosed with Panic Disorder in 2015 which forced her to reconsider her life path and views on mental illness. Facing a health and soul crisis, she had to make difficult choices. The human rights career she built with a single-minded focus no longer inspired her, and the symptoms of her diagnosis were wreaking havoc on her life. Seeking peace but still craving a challenge - she found it time to speak to her wiring by providing a product to address one of the symptoms of anxiety: Sensitive, dry skin. After completing her Certificate in Advanced Cosmetic Chemistry she released FIGGI Beauty. Tired of toxic positivity and after many setbacks in her own healing journey she created the Anxious Calm. An online learning community for those seeking to peacefully coexist with their anxiety, where its okay Not to be okay, and where we can celebrate the hidden gifts that come with anxious wiring.
To contact her, learn about her anxious calm program and receive support from her online community wherever you live in the world, visit: https://www.docjeanne.com/courses/the-breaking & learn more about her amazing skincare line for sensitive skin here: https://www.figgibeauty.com/

Greetings Beautiful Adult Child,
In this latest adult child podcast, I interviewed Damla Atkien, a kindred spirit and inner child trauma informed energy healer.
Damla shared how she views the clouds as unhealed wounds and the stars as our inner childs shining light and she also spoke about Goddess Innana that we can call upon as our greatest ally to help us die and be reborn again.
She guided us through a gentleness check in to drop into our feelings and bodily sensations as well as an inner child journey to connect with our inner strengths, courage & resilience.
Damla Aktekin is an Inner Child Energetic Wound Healer, Crystal Healing Teacher, Soul Healing Writer, Intuitive Reader, Astrologer, and Podcaster, who helps other self-healers and healers move beyond the energetic wounds of their inner children and shine brighter than they thought possible so that they can fully show up in their lives to heal themselves, their families, and their soul community.
Through her own healing journey, she discovered a unique way to approach crystal healing which is based on cultivating a loving, co-creative, and respectful relationship with crystals that activates their limitless healing potential. She is the author of life-changing daily practice journals, creator of the Chakra Bliss Vault Crystal Healing Membership, and the host of the Conversations With Healers Podcast.

Greetings Adult Child.
In my latest episode, I sat down with an amazingly gifted author & magical manifestor who shared her personal journey of how she was able to move beyond surviving in a dysfunctional home as a parentified child and develop new tools to thrive & grow into becoming her own loving parent.
Susan was raised in a challenging and chaotic family system, the middle child of five & wound up marrying her greatest guru also known as her ex-husband who inadvertently taught her to step into her power after eons of hiding behind it & losing her true identity in the process.
To fully thrive, she bravely chose to meet the demons of her upbringing & help others heal from challenges she had overcome. Knowing she needed to share this with other adult children, she authored a book called Toxic Family: Transforming Childhood Trauma into Adult Freedom & now Susan is leading retreats, webinars, workshops and facilitating private sessions to help others drop their outdated storylines and programming to live in authentic freedom as adults.
If youād like to receive a free audio file of the first pages of Toxic Family & a mini session to connect personally, visit her website at https://www.susangold.us/ and you may order her book here: https://www.susangold.us/toxic-family-book

Generational Family Trauma
Join me & my special guest Tracey Yokas the author of Bloodlines & childhood trauma survivor in a conversation about strength, hope, resilience & the healing recovery process.
In this episode, Tracey speaks candidly about being raised by emotionally unavailable, neglectful & immature parents and how she was able to overcome years of chaos, confusion & dysfunction and not only accept what happened but hold empathy & compassion for her parents.
She reminds us through her art, journalling & creativity that early childhood trauma can be healed & addressed non-verbally since most childhood trauma takes place before the age of 3.
Since the legacy of family trauma gets past down to us generationally, she had the courage and tenacity to heal her own daughter despite never having a strong & reliable role model growing up.

I truly enjoyed learning about how to heal childhood trauma with MDMA Therapy and how to demystify what it really is and how it may help you recover from years of abuse or neglect in our most important & precious developmental years and even while we're in utero in our birth Mothers womb.
Jill Sitnick is the founder of The Journey Sage, an educational platform that demystifies MDMA Therapy for PTSD to help dispel the stigma of psychedelics for mental health. After a lifetime of unprocessed childhood trauma, Jill found healing through psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy, which is expected to be FDA approved in 2024. She is an author, educator, and enthusiastic YouTube advocate for MDMA therapy for PTSD treatment.
Her Website to learn more is www.thejourneysage.com and you can find her @thejourneysage on YouTube.She's written a memoir called Rescuing Jill: How MDMA with a Dash of Mushrooms Healed My Childhood Trauma-Induced PTSD & is the author of Rescuing Jill Companion Workbook: Intention Setting for Psychedelic-Assisted Psychotherapy.

Dear Adult Child Listeners.
I recently sat down with Dr Joy Bracey & had a heart opening & mind blowing conversation about adult childrens trauma response to eating our feelings which soothed our developing nervous system, helped us feel safe & calmed us down when no adult caregiver was available or able to and how we can love ourselves free of the past with self-care tools to stay present with mindfulness. awareness & self-acceptance.
Dr. Joy Bracey, a licensed therapist, self-love & mindfulness teacher, public speaker, single mom of four, and successful non-profit CEO, has lived with the disease of obesity her entire adult life. After many cycles of weight loss and weight gain and struggles with diet culture, she embraced her curves, claimed body positivity, and let go of her fantasies of fitting back into her college jeans. Then, at age 47, she began a self-love journey that put her on track to get honest with herself about the costs of living in a body that was 337 pounds and climbing.
Realizing that the life of freedom she wanted for herself was not possible at her size, she started considering medical solutions and documented her journey of self-discovery in a podcast called, "The Easy Weigh Out". In the 6-episode docuseries, she talks to friends and family, a therapist, and an obesity medicine specialist. They get very personal about the emotional reasons for gaining and maintaining drastic amounts of weight, food addiction, "fat-vantanges", what it's like to live in a 300+ pound body, the impact of fat-shaming and fatphobia on women and girls, why it's not about "eat less and move more" or willpower, and the medical and genetic causes and consequences of obesity. She and her adult children discuss what it was like for them growing up in a "fat" family with a mom who was always trying to lose weight, how they wish she'd have handled their "chubbiness", and their fear for her life. Dr. Joy goes to therapy with a fellow therapist who had weight loss surgery and gets deep with her lifelong best friend about the feeling of safety that comes with living in a bigger body, her fear of being thin, sex and dating while fat, and so much more.
Her podcast is not just any conventional weight loss podcast, but a radical, touching, and honest look into the underlying emotions that go along with any unhealthy coping mechanisms- from the perspective of a mental health professional who is willing to be vulnerable in sharing her story while exploring the complex societal relationship between the perks of fatness, cultural obsession with thinness, faulty coping mechanisms, and mental, emotional & physical health. She crosses the line between body positivity and health consciousness in way that few people can, but is relatable to everyone.Visit her website to learn more at https//drjoybracey.com

Greetings Courageous Being,
In this episode, I've invited Sandy Stream, an author and activist whose work is built on the belief that everyone deserves and is capable of finding peace and warrior-like strength within themselves. After teaching law for 20 years, raising her two children, and facing a life full of adversities and lessons, she decided to turn her efforts towards facilitating workshops for young and experienced adults to encourage them to live in peace and power.
We had a heart warming conversation about her latest book called "The Courage Circle" & her in person & on line Courage Circle Gatherings that she hosts in Montreal to resource & support anyone to cultivate the courage & resilience to accept themselves unconditionally & honor their authentic feelings.
We all need to be courageous in these turbulent & chaotic times, practice the art of non-violent communication in our closest relationships & set safe boundaries starting with our own inner critic so I invite you to check out Sandy's website at https://thecouragecircle.com/ & receive all the support you need in community.

Iām a Reiki Master, Divine Channel, Ascension Teacher & Mentor for Empaths so although Iāve been on this healing path for what feels like forever, this is my first Podcast & I was thrilled to invite my good friend & host of the Sovereign Empath show Zachary Michael to sit with me in conversation about how to empower sensitive empaths to t only own their intuitive gifts but how to stop leaking our life force energy away to unconscious & narcissistic energy drainers in co-dependent relationships.
Each Show will include special tips on how to practice safe & healthy boundary setting to heal our significant relationships with our kids, parents, partners or co-workers which is often challenging for highly sensitive intuitive empaths like us.
On our first show, my guest spoke about his personal struggles and difficult childhood upbringing and how he was able to overcome an often traumatic past & make peace with the harsh voices of his inner critic trusting that what happened was never his fault.
Enjoy a grounded meditation, body scan & aura cleanse I offered to help you when faced with challenging situations or conversations to clear the toxic imprints energy drainers often leave with you.
My greatest wish is to spread the message that you have the right to feel safe, seen, held &supported & take your life back no matter what happened and that itās never too late to reparent your inner child, teenager & protectors living inside of you.
