The Power of Self-Work: Healing the Patterns That Shape Your Life with Dr. Lara May

Why do we do the self-work? Why do we invest in therapy, coaching, retreats, books, and personal growth? Is it to become someone new—or to remember who we've always been? In this Wellness Illuminated episode of Light Body Radio, Dr. Lara May explores the deeper purpose of self-work and why lasting transformation begins with becoming aware of the unconscious patterns that quietly shape our thoughts, behaviors, relationships, health, and overall life experience. Together, we'll explore how the brain naturally operates on autopilot, why change can feel so difficult, and how bringing awareness to our inner world allows us to move from surviving to intentionally creating the life we truly want. If you've ever felt stuck in repeating the same patterns, questioning why change feels so hard, or wondering why you continue to attract the same experiences, this episode offers a compassionate and empowering perspective on the transformative power of self-awareness. © Light Body Radio-Podcast, 2026.
