Episode 58: Healing the Past to Live Fully Today with Therapist Sara Semenick

As we celebrate one year of Working Moms Redefined, we’re revisiting one of our powerful early conversations with Therapist Sara Semenick. This episode remains just as meaningful today as it was when it first aired, offering insight and encouragement for anyone navigating growth, healing and the many roles that come with motherhood and career.  Sara brings her passion for helping women understand how past experiences and stored stress can influence how we show up in our daily lives. Drawing from her background in multiple therapeutic approaches, including NET Therapy (Neuro Emotional Technique), she explains how the mind and body work together and how greater self-awareness can help us break patterns that may be holding us back.  The conversation also explores the importance of understanding our personal motivations, family influences and the deeper “why” behind our behaviors. Tools like the Enneagram can offer helpful insight into personality and decision-making, while open conversations about mental health help normalize the idea that growth and healing look different for everyone.  Throughout the episode, Denise reflects on her own journey as a working mom, businesswoman and lifelong learner, sharing how self-discovery is an ongoing process. The discussion highlights how intentional reflection, meaningful relationships and personal accountability can help us become cycle breakers for ourselves and our families.  If you’re revisiting this episode with us or listening for the first time, we hope this conversation reminds you that growth takes time, self-awareness is powerful and every step forward matters.    Connect with Sara Semenick of Deeper Roots Counseling:   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552973679755   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/deeperrootscounselingmft/   Website: https://deeperrootscounselingmft.com/     Enneagram Test Link: https://assessment.yourenneagramcoach.com     Book Suggestion: “The Body Keeps Score.” https://www.amazon.com/Body-Keeps-Score-Healing-Trauma/dp/0670785938/ref=asc_df_0670785938/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693449522341&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16785464844668993613&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9022417&hvtargid=pla-436114357585&psc=1&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693449522341&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=16785464844668993613&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9022417&hvtargid=pla-436114357585&psc=1     Additional Book Links on Sara's Website: https://deeperrootscounselingmft.com/services     NET Therapy Example in the Referenced Grey’s Anatomy Episode: https://youtu.be/EJP8t2lv_vY?si=xijKD8aTyr6qsn9E     Connect with Denise of Working Moms Redefined:     Catch full episodes and subscribe to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@WorkingMomsRedefined    Click here for the 9 Minutes a Day for a Lifetime of Connection Masterclass: https://www.workingmomsredefined.com/9-99-9-minutes-landing   Listen to The Working Moms Redefined Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart Radio and Amazon Music.
