In this episode of The Sonic Wealth Podcast, we sit down with Lauren Courtney for a deep and grounded conversation on what real healing actually looks like beyond mindset work.Lauren is a Spiritual Advisor, Holistic Recovery Coach and author of Glow Up Your Chakras: From Medicated to Meditated. She specializes in nervous system regulation, somatic healing and energy work, helping high-functioning individuals break free from unconscious patterns and self-sabotage.Lauren shares her personal healing journey shaped by profound life transitions, including the loss of her first love and how those experiences led her out of corporate life and into holistic health coaching, culinary healing work and ultimately somatic and energy-based modalities. From Reiki and nervous system regulation to sound healing and chakra work, she breaks down the evolution of her practice and what actually creates lasting transformation.We also explore why so many high-functioning people are doing “all the right things”—therapy, journaling, affirmations—and still feel stuck and how the nervous system holds the missing piece most people overlook.This conversation brings spirituality down into the body, making healing practical, embodied and accessible.What we cover in this episode:Lauren’s healing journey and the pivotal life experiences that shaped her path.Her work as a holistic health coach, chef and transition into spiritual advising.A breakdown of nervous system regulation and why it’s foundational to healing.How somatic healing and energy work support real behavioral and emotional change.Her experience with sound healing, including gong, bowls, drums and vibrational work.Why people get stuck in cycles of self-improvement and what actually breaks the pattern.Connect with Lauren:Website: www.laurencourtneyheals.comInstagram: @iamlaurencourtneyBook: Glow Up Your Chakras: From Medicated to Meditated https://a.co/d/0cA6ric0
