Some wounds form before language, before memory - yet they shape how we relate, love, and see ourselves for a lifetime.

In this deeply introspective episode, I’m joined by Dawn Nelson, author of Bone by Bone: Healing the Emotional Wounds of Preverbal and Childhood Abuse. Through raw, courageous storytelling, Dawn invites us into the hidden layers of early trauma - especially emotional neglect in infancy - and how its imprint lives in the body long after the mind has forgotten.

Dawn shares her personal journey of uncovering the truth about her early life, including the moment she discovered legal records that confirmed what her body had always known. We explore the paradox of grief and relief, the creation of the “false self” as a survival strategy, and how compassion - for both self and parents - can exist alongside truth.

This conversation is not about blame or reliving pain. It’s about reclamation - learning to reparent the parts of ourselves that were unseen, unheard, and unmet, and discovering that healing doesn’t require perfect memories - only honesty, presence, and care.

In this episode, we explore:

• How preverbal trauma and emotional neglect shape adult identity
• Why emotional wounds can exist without conscious memory
• The body’s role in holding early trauma
• Dismantling the false self and reconnecting with the “unmothered” child
• Holding truth and compassion at the same time
• What healing looks like when it becomes a lifelong return to self

This episode is a gentle yet powerful invitation to look inward, honor your earliest experiences, and remember: it’s never too late to tend to the child within.

What if burnout isn’t just mental or emotional - but happening at a cellular level?

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Monisha Bhanote, a 5x board-certified physician, best-selling author of The Anatomy of Wellbeing, and founder of the WELLKULÅ Institute, to explore what true health and longevity actually require - beyond hacks, supplements, and surface-level wellness trends.

Dr. Bhanote introduces her signature philosophy, CellCare, explaining how chronic stress, trauma, poor sleep, and lifestyle overload leave our cells stuck in survival mode. We unpack how this shows up as fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, anxiety, inflammation, and burnout - even in people who “look fine” on the outside.

Drawing from neuroscience, gut-brain biology, Ayurveda’s five koshas (layers of the body), and her own lived experience recovering from a traumatic brain injury, Dr. Bhanote reframes healing as a process of regulation, ritual, and cellular alignment - not optimization or extremes.

We also discuss:

• Why longevity starts with emotional and nervous system safety
• How the gut, brain, and vagus nerve shape energy, mood, and resilience
• The difference between habits and rituals—and why rituals actually heal
• Common mistakes with supplements, diets, and biohacking
• Why calm is one of the most powerful longevity tools we have
• What it truly means to “listen” to your body’s intelligence

This episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and rebuild health from the inside out - starting at the cellular level.

✨ If you’re exhausted from trying to do more to feel better, this conversation will change how you think about healing.

In this powerful and deeply embodied conversation, we’re joined by Cathy Williams - body-based healing practitioner, creative arts therapist, award-winning author, and founder of Intuitive Self.

Cathy shares her journey of surviving psychological abuse and the profound disconnection that followed - feeling numb, fractured, and unable to trust her own inner voice. Like so many women, her body became a place that felt unsafe. Through somatic practices and creative expression, Cathy found her way back - not by forcing healing, but by listening.

In this episode, we explore how the body holds wisdom long after the mind has learned to override it, and how healing doesn’t require retelling the story - but relearning how to feel safe inside yourself again.

Cathy offers gentle, accessible insights into:

• What body-based healing actually looks like in real life
• How trauma disconnects women from intuition - and how to rebuild trust
• Why creativity can unlock healing when words fall short
• The difference between intuition and trauma-driven fear
• How nervous system regulation supports empowerment after abuse
• Simple practices to begin reconnecting with your body today

At the heart of this conversation is a truth many women are just beginning to remember:
When a woman comes home to her body, she comes home to herself.

This episode is an invitation to soften, listen, and reclaim the body not as something to fix - but as a source of safety, wisdom, and strength.
