86. Healing from Cancer, Tuning into The Body's Natural Wisdom, & The Power of Reiki with Integrative Health Coach, Stacey Garcia

Today, I sit down with one of the most inspiring and grounded women I've had the chance to speak to - the type of woman every coming-of-age gal needs in their life: soul-connected, supportive, and resilient in mind, body, and spirit.Today, (in honor of Mother's Day), we welcome Stacey Garcia - Integrative Health Coach, podcast host, mom, and breast cancer survivor.Stacey shares her powerful story of receiving a cancer diagnosis during what should’ve been her healthiest year, and how that moment cracked her open to a deeper way of living and listening.We talk about what it means to truly heal — not just through treatment protocols, but through energy work, ritual, community, and self-trust.On this episode, we talk about her journey to becoming a Reiki Master, the emotional toll of chronic stress, and the missing links in modern wellness culture.This episode captures one of the most honest and soul-opening conversations I've had on this show - and I am SO excited to share it with you.This is a conversation about intuition, courage, softness, asking better questions, and the radical act of self-advocacy in medical treatment - it's not just about health, but about who we are when everything else falls away.Stacey’s story is a reminder that healing isn’t about doing more — it’s about remembering your power, and allowing your body to speak.xStacey's Links:Instagram Never Miss a Monday PodcastListen to Our Episode on NMMxIF YOU'RE INTERESTED IN A 2026 RETREAT WITH ME & OTHER FSO PEEPS NEXT YEAR, FILL OUT THIS SURVEY BELOW & LET ME KNOW WHERE YOU'D WANT TO GO / WHAT YOU'D BE INTERESTED IN!Fill me Out!Podcast Instagram: @figuringshiiitout - DM Me "Invite" with your email to learn more about The Road Less Travelers 4 week Course or 1:1 work!
