How I Escaped Religious Trauma & Found My TRUE Self with Nadia Vero

from Unapologetic Uplift with Kim and Ianthe · host Kimberly Staples & Ianthe Mauro

Join Kim Staples for a powerful conversation with holistic practitioner Nadia Vero about spiritual awakening, religious trauma, and reclaiming authentic confidence. In this episode, we explore: ✨ Spiritual Awakening & Religious Trauma – Nadia shares her journey leaving Islam after her spiritual awakening and the profound cognitive dissonance that came with realizing "everything I learned was a lie." We discuss how faith implies doubt versus deep knowing, and navigating spiritual abuse from family and community. 🌟 Choosing Your Own Identity – Nadia explains why she changed her last name to "Vero" (meaning "truth") and how it represents her commitment to authenticity and being unapologetically herself. 💪 Making Decisions from Neutrality – Learn the difference between reactive decisions (made from fear or excitement) versus grounded choices. Nadia shares how she spent four years healing before leaving her marriage, making the decision from clarity rather than emotion. 🧠 The Subconscious Mind & Childhood Wounds – We dive into how core wounds form between ages 0-9 and unconsciously run 95% of our lives. Discover why hypnotherapy works where talk therapy falls short, and how to get to the root cause instead of managing symptoms. 👁️ Intuition vs. Anxiety – The key distinction: intuition is a subtle knowing in your body, while anxiety screams and won't shut up. Learn to trust your internal guidance system. 👶 Conscious Parenting & Being Present – How awakening naturally transforms how you show up for your children, plus the importance of trusting your motherly instinct even when doctors dismiss you. 🎯 The Brave Zone Approach – Nadia breaks down her holistic method for helping people pleasers, empaths, and anxiously attached individuals become calm, clear, and confident. It's not about fixing surface-level behaviors—it's about healing the core wound underneath. Subscribe and join the conversation! We release new content Mondays (Intentionally Ianthe), Wednesdays (full episodes), and Fridays (Unhinged Out Loud with Kim Staples).
