In today’s episode, you’ll hear a powerful and deeply relatable conversation about burnout, over-responsibility, and what happens when being “the strong one” starts to take a toll.

Erika Navarro is a licensed Marriage & Family Therapist, from Colombia and used to work in Los Angeles. She’s also a mother, wife, and the founder of Healing Souls by Erika, where she offers courses and support that blend nervous system healing, emotional wellness, and somatic practices for both women and men.

For years, Erika lived in survival mode - high-functioning on the outside but disconnected within. It wasn’t until anxiety, burnout and exhaustion brought her to a breaking point that she began to listen to the whisper in her body… and chose a different way.

In this honest and grounded conversation, Erika shares how she let go of over-performing, embraced softness and rest, and redefined what true strength means. We talk about healing cultural patterns, honouring your nervous system, and the freedom that comes when you stop trying to hold it all together alone.

If you’ve ever felt like you should be coping just fine, but deep down, something doesn’t feel right, this episode will speak directly to your heart.

By the end, you’ll feel seen, soothed, and reminded that you don’t have to wait for a crisis to choose something better.

In today’s episode, you’re going to hear a powerful conversation about loss, resilience, and the healing potential of deep psychological repair.

Dr. Jayn is a neuro-physiological psychologist whose work spans continents, cultures, and decades. With a doctorate and two master’s degrees in psychology, she brings extraordinary depth to the field of nervous system healing and trauma recovery.

In this conversation, she shares the two pivotal “stone in the shoe” moments that transformed the course of her life. First, leaving behind a global career in mergers and acquisitions to follow a deeper calling into psychology, and then, decades later, facing a profound personal and financial loss that led her to start over at 52.

What followed was a journey of radical inner recalibration - through science, spirituality, and soul work - and the creation of Villa 19, a residential sanctum in Malaysia designed for nervous system regulation and full-body healing.

This episode is filled with lived wisdom, from trauma-informed insight to lessons in listening to your inner voice, especially when the outside world expects something else.

Whether you’re in transition, starting over, or simply feeling the quiet nudge of something more, Dr. Jayn’s story is a powerful reminder that healing, clarity, and purpose are always possible.

Enjoy.

By the end, you’ll feel inspired to meet your own turning points with more self-compassion, courage, and curiosity
