Resilient Voices Podcast #34 The Power of Curiosity in Building Resilience with Kia Temmes

In this episode of Resilient Voices, host Jessica Schultz speaks with Kia Temmes, an author and body therapist, about resilience, travel, and the inner work of healing childhood trauma. Kia shares her journey from Sweden to Myanmar and beyond, and how curiosity, releasing control, and working with plant medicine have helped her heal, overcome fears, and live a life aligned with her true self. Through this honest conversation, she reflects on how early life experiences shape the way we think, relate, and move through the world — and how resilience often begins with becoming aware of the stories and patterns we carry. Together, we explore resilience as a journey of self-discovery, the role of curiosity and letting go of expectations, and why living more authentically starts with listening to yourself.
