This could have been a confession corner, but honestly, this conversation is about so much more than me. It's easy as individuals who "do it all" to forget to take an inventory to see what it is that we really need - beyond checking something off of the to-do list.

You know where I think we go wrong with resolutions? We overcomplicate it. We try to change everything at once. We aim to become a completely new person on January 1st without a clear plan or a deeper purpose behind it. And then, when progress doesn't happen, frustration sets in. We slip back into old patterns, and the familiar sense of defeat follows. So let's simplify this. Today, I'm sharing the one thing I believe will have the greatest impact as you move into 2026.

In today's episode, I sit down with licensed professional counselor,  Erica Bonham for a grounded and eye-opening conversation about what trauma actually is, how it shows up in our lives, and what healing really looks like. We talk about the difference between "Big T" and "Little T" trauma, how we inherit patterns through our families and communities, and why so many of us minimize our own experiences.We also dive into collective trauma, sacred rage, nervous system regulation, and the survival patterns—like perfectionism or urgency—that keep us from feeling connected and whole. Erica brings such a compassionate perspective to this topic, reminding us that healing starts in the body, not the mind, and that we are "always and already whole," even if we feel disconnected from that truth.This episode will help you understand yourself on a deeper level, soften around your healing journey, and feel less alone in whatever you're carrying.Here is where you can find Erica:Her Website: https://www.avoscounseling.com/Her Book: https://www.avoscounseling.com/always-enoughFree Regulation Toolkit: https://www.avoscounseling.com/freebie?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnDZ2gWxbJGEUwTCzMUIYLkMYnY6S4ehazqPJNb7kRRv92aIeOLuc9eySk1dc_aem_bIPgK19ZrVawB9vFUHwF1AHer Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/avoscounseling/Her Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/avoscounselingHer YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@ejbonham1207Her TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ericabonhamsomaticcoach#trauma #acceptance #healing #traumaresponse #bigT #littlet  

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with Dr. Lynn to explore a topic we're all influenced by but rarely discuss openly: sexuality.

Dr. Lynn offers a compassionate, grounded lens on human sexuality, reminding us that our sexual drive is natural, normal, and nothing to hide. We talk about how culture shapes our beliefs, how early exposure impacts kids and teens, and why honest, shame-free conversations around pleasure matter more than ever. If you've ever been curious about how sexuality connects to mental health, creativity, and personal fulfillment, this episode will expand your perspective and bring you into deeper connection with yourself.

Burnout is real, and if you're a high achiever, you've probably felt it but never been comfortable saying it out loud. Today's conversation with Natalie Wynn is one you need to hear. Natalie gets vulnerable about her journey from entrepreneurship to corporate life, and everything that came with it—the internal struggles, the impact of divorce, and the silent suffering that so many of us know too well. If you've ever felt like you had to keep it together on the outside while falling apart on the inside, this one's for you. We dive into the power of subconscious reprogramming and how coaching literally changed the game for Natalie. She's living proof that you don't have to push through burnout alone, and that investing in your mental health isn't optional—it's essential.

This was going to be a cute little episode about the changing of the seasons. Of letting go, and embracing change,   Well, as I went through this season…I  came to the conclusion…..this isn't a sparkly little conversation filled with golden light. Although still beautiful, this season has brought an intense and very necessary PURGE. A shedding. A REAL letting go. An UPHEAVAL if you will.    Yeah, it's about as fun as it sounds AND it can also be EXACTLY what we need. If you've been having some feels around this season, I'd love to invite you to join me for this conversation.    As promised here's the episode I told you about EGO DEATH:    Ep 49, a casual conversation on ego death  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-freely-you-podcast/id1676842511?i=1000645300679     And if you are feeling this vibe right now, I think this episode could be helpful as well.  Ep. 98, Getting to know your dark side and shadow work https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-freely-you-podcast/id1676842511?i=1000679202172   AND for a little lighter discussion on following your heart and soul to find success (even when it's uncomfortable) be sure to check out this one:  The Earth Initiation, Choosing the path of heart and soul  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-earth-initiation/id1814726142?i=1000730477703   #egodeath #seasonofchange #fall #lettinggo #spirituality #personaldevelopment     

What if karma isn't about cosmic payback at all? Join me and Dr. Lynn Anderson as we dive deep into what karma really means and how it can transform your life. Dr. Lynn breaks down karma as a branch of yoga that's all about cause and effect—a path of self-evolution through intentional action. We're talking about showing up fully without being attached to outcomes or chasing material rewards. Spoiler alert: this isn't what pop culture has been telling us. Here's what really hit home for me—awareness is everything. Dr. Lynn reminds us that trusting ourselves and managing our energy matters so much more than overthinking everything. It's about cultivating that inner peace we all crave. We also talk about the very real struggle of social media and how it messes with our idea of success. Dr. Lynn shares how our authentic fulfillment will never come from external validation, and it's time we stop looking for it there. Whether you're brand new to this or already on your karmic journey, this conversation is packed with practical wisdom you can actually use.  Here is where you can find Dr. Lynn:  Website   http://www.doctorlynn.com Facebook URL   https://www.facebook.com/DrLynnAnderson   Instagram   https://instagram.com/doctorlaa YouTube URL   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZ2o8upD2IU   #karma #personaldevelopment #spirituality #awareness #intention

We are switching it up today on the podcast! A little pop culture anyone?!?! This is where we will either connect on an entirely new level, or you will question why you have been taking advice from a Swiftie. I'm hopeful it's the latter! Everyone seems to have an opinion on Taylor's new album, Life of a Showgirl. So of course, I wanted to join in on the fun!  This episode is the first of it's kind, so please excuse me in advance for being ALL over the place!

Gather round, it's story time. I recently had an encounter with a potential client, that a few years ago would have completely broken me. Right in the middle of a carefully crafted presentation, she pointed out one of my biggest insecurities. I got off that call convinced the opportunity was DEAD (spoiler alert: it's not). But here's the kicker—much to my own surprise, I felt totally okay with it. That sense of calm certainty, of knowing I was just fine with or without her approval, felt like a powerful confirmation of how far I've come. Of the self-trust I've built. These are the moments. Small on the surface, but monumental underneath, that can either break us or make us. I don't know about you, but I'm choosing to let them make me. Every. Single. Time.

We all have our "squad" that surrounds us—our support system, friends, family, co-workers, community, and more. And the real MVP? You guessed it—it's YOU. So how strong is your team? And is it a team you really want to be on? In this episode, we dive into taking inventory of your squad to figure out who's actually supporting you versus who's draining you. We explore the importance of doing a mirror check to see how you're showing up as a teammate to others, and most importantly, we talk about recognizing YOU as the MVP and learning to treat yourself like you matter because you absolutely do. Because you my friend are a WINNER, and you deserve a strong team that reflects that.

Meet my new friend, Stephanie Estrada! The moment I heard Stephanie speak, I knew we had met for a reason. Maybe it's because of our adventurous spirits.
