Cutting Cords with Narcissists: Chris Wasko on Energy Healing & Reclaiming Peace
In this profound and healing episode, Chris Wasko shares her journey of discovering that trauma doesn't just live in the mind, it's encoded in the body's energy system. After surviving narcissistic abuse and childhood trauma, Chris awakened her psychic abilities and learned to read chakras, recognizing patterns of abuse written in blocked energy centers.Chris breaks down the chakra system from root to crown, explaining how specific traumas manifest as blocked energy and physical symptoms. She shares how the solar plexus chakra holds personal power (and how narcissists systematically drain it), how the heart chakra carries inner child wounds, and why understanding these connections is critical to healing. She talks about her work reading energy remotely, helping clients see the blocks they couldn't see on their own, and guiding them toward energetic freedom.But this episode goes deeper than theory. Chris shares her personal journey, the estrangement from toxic family members, the layered grief of that decision, and the peace that came with detachment and boundaries. She reframes triggers as activations and opportunities for growth, explaining why those who've survived narcissistic abuse experience them so intensely and why learning to bless your nervous system is revolutionary.CONNECT WITH CHRIS WASKO:Website: https://chriswasco.com/Facebook: facebook.com/chriswascoCONNECT WITH DEANNA:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedeannacrawfordFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/deanna.zeinWebsite: https://deannacrawford.comRenew Counselling & Health Coaching: https://renewcoach.ca

What If Your Chronic Pain Is Actually Your Body Trying to Tell You Something Deeper
What if your physical illness was actually your bodies messenger that you're storing emotional trauma?In this profound episode, Sarah Dawkins shares her journey from 20+ year registered nurse to holistic healing coach and the internal crisis that led her there. Raised in the medical model, Sarah only knew doctors, pills, and hospitals. But when a colleague challenged her pharmaceutical use, Sarah started researching and discovered the mind-body connection that changed everything.Sarah healed herself of chronic pain, Candida, bulimia, PTSD, underactive thyroid, adrenal burnout, and depression with suicidal thoughts, not through medication, but by addressing the root cause through her four pillars: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.
