#9: Stop Abandoning Yourself (Ft. Ashley Coleman)
from Whole Man · host Brennan Hilleary
Your darkest season might be the most honest one you’ve ever lived. Ashley Coleman joins me for a raw conversation about “dark night of the soul” moments, spiritual awakening, and what it actually looks like to stop abandoning yourself when your nervous system is flooded with fear, shame, or grief.We get practical about inner child healing and nervous system regulation, including the counterintuitive practice Ashley swears by: stop trying to feel better and meet the emotion instead of running from it. We also talk about her path through sobriety, yoga philosophy, Reiki energy healing, and shamanism, and why real trauma healing often requires tracking core wounds like abandonment, betrayal, and separation from source instead of just managing symptoms.Then we shift into the story everyone asked for: how we met at a Charlottesville festival, what we each had to release beforehand, and how raising standards around loyalty, sobriety, and emotional presence changed everything. If you’re rebuilding after burnout, healing relationship patterns, or trying to create a healthier partnership, this conversation will challenge you while keeping it grounded and human.Subscribe for more honest conversations.Enjoy!Dive Deeper with Ashley Coleman Website: https://wingedalchemy.net/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wingedalchemyofficial/Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@MysticsPathMysterySchoolNewsletter: Build With Brennan: Designed to help you build a better life, stop surviving, and thrive personally & professionally.My YouTube Channel: Video versions of the podcast and more.Business Website: Helping established businesses develop their people beyond their title through transformative keynote talks, workshops, and group coaching.Other Social Links: LinkedIn, facebook, instagram.
