In this heart-opening episode of Enterprise Confessional, Deshea sits down with Sandi Byrd, widely known as The Hugging Healer — a woman whose gift is restoring people not through strategy, but through presence, connection, and emotional safety.

At a time when entrepreneurs are overwhelmed, constantly “on,” and silently carrying emotional weight, Sandi reminds us that healing often begins with something we’ve forgotten how to give ourselves stillness, grounding and human connection

Sandi shares how her intuitive healing journey began, what it means to use touch and presence as medicine, and why so many high-performing women are disconnected from their bodies, their emotions, and their ability to feel safe within themselves.

Inside this episode, we explore Why emotional regulation matters more than hustle, The power of connection in a world numbed by stress, How unprocessed emotions show up in business & decision-making, The internal “walls” strong women build to survive, What it truly means to be held, seen, and supported & How returning to your humanity becomes your greatest breakthrough.

Sandi’s wisdom is soft but seismic. Her presence is grounding. And her message is this..

“You cannot build sustainably from a dysregulated place. Healing is not a weakness.. it’s a return to power.”

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or emotionally overworked, this episode will bring you back to center.
