Healing, Humour & Living Consciously with Nina DeFrancisco (aka @mindbodynina)

In this heart-expanding and hilariously honest episode of The Conscious Early Learning Podcast, I’m joined by Nina DeFrancisco, best known as @mindbodynina, a trauma-informed coach, content creator, and founder of the Humans Unplugged community. Nina shares her journey from psychology and social work into full-time coaching, offering nervous system regulation, holistic healing, inner child work, and honest-to-goodness humour as tools for self-leadership. We unpack how to return to your body, why ‘grandmother energy’ might just be your new favourite healing tool, and how internal family systems (IFS) / parts work can support deep transformation. Nina also shares her personal experience with thyroid cancer - and how it shifted the way she now shows up for herself and others with fierce compassion and truth. If you’re a parent, teacher, or caregiver who’s navigating your own healing while trying to show up for little ones, this conversation is a must. This episode will leave you feeling seen, grounded and gently reminded - healing doesn’t have to be so heavy, and you don’t have to do it alone.
