Tina Andrews is an educator, lawyer, and entrepreneur, and the Founder and Director of Adore Family Services, Inc., a therapeutic foster care agency serving children and families across Northern Virginia and promoting adoption through foster care.

Born and raised in North Wales, Pennsylvania, Ms. Andrews graduated from Howard University with honors, earning a degree in Education with a minor in Special Education. She began her career as a teacher in Texas before pursuing law at Villanova University School of Law. After graduating, she trained under a family law judge and went on to distinguish herself as a family lawyer—successfully advocating for fathers seeking custody and championing the rights of disenfranchised families involved with child protective services. Her work focused on ensuring due process, fairness, and justice for vulnerable parents and children.

Ms. Andrews later transitioned into educational leadership, serving as Superintendent and Legal Counsel for a charter school district in Texas, while also becoming more deeply involved as corporate counsel and administrator for several nonprofit organizations. As a single parent and foster parent herself, she played an instrumental role in establishing a foster care and adoption agency in Houston, Texas.

Driven by a lifelong calling to serve children in need, Tina returned to the Washington metropolitan area to establish ADORE, where she continues to lead with compassion, expertise, and a commitment to family-centered care.

Ms. Andrews is the proud mother of two adult children and two grandchildren, and she currently resides in Virginia.

Her work empowers women to trust themselves again and create lives filled with greater peace, joy, purpose, and lasting fulfillment.

She helps women create meaningful and sustainable change from the inside out by releasing limiting patterns, strengthening self-trust, and making decisions that align with who they truly are.

EP243: Healing Complex PTSD and Finding Hope with John P. Boyle

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 18:46:04 +0000

In this powerful episode of the Heal Thrive Dream Podcast, I sit down with John P. Boyle to discuss his journey of surviving childhood trauma, healing from Complex PTSD, and finding hope through faith, recovery, and resilience.

John and I explore the lasting effects of childhood trauma, how Complex PTSD impacts relationships, marriage, parenting, and physical health, the long road to receiving the right diagnosis, EMDR therapy, grounding techniques, nervous system regulation, recovery from alcohol addiction, faith, hope, and breaking generational cycles of trauma.

John P. Boyle is an engineer, entrepreneur, executive advisor, and author whose life and work reflect a blend of Appalachian grit, business leadership, and principled purpose. Born into a multi-generational family of coal miners and raised in Kingwood, West Virginia, John’s story is rooted in hard work, resilience, and deep respect for the people and places that shaped him.

John graduated from The Kiski School in Pennsylvania, the West Virginia University School of Engineering, and Harvard Business School. From the age of thirteen through forty, he worked in nearly every role within his family’s business, including ten years as company president.

As a civil engineer, John has led thousands of public infrastructure, energy, natural gas, mining, and waste-disposal projects across 10 East Coast states. He has also founded four service-related companies in the environmental, transportation, natural gas, and coal industries.

Throughout his career, John has served in multiple C-suite and executive advisory roles and has sat on the boards of more than a dozen companies nationwide. He currently serves on the advisory boards of TQG, Inc. and Qryptonic, LLC, and on the board of directors of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association, where he served as President of the Contractors Division in 2017.

John is also the author of Appalachian Kid, an Amazon best-selling memoir published in 2023, and Invisible Wounds, published in 2026.

EP242: Overcoming Grief and Chronic Illness with Cyndee Dhalai

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 08:42:05 +0000

Grief and chronic illness have a way of changing every part of your life. In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Cyndee Dhalai to talk about what it really looks like to keep going when life doesn't go as planned.

Cyndee Dhalai has worn many hats throughout her life, teacher, counselor, wife, mother, widow, patient, and writer. After spending more than 25 years in education, she now shares her own journey of grief, chronic illness, resilience, and hope to encourage others who may be walking through difficult seasons.

During our conversation, we talk about what grief has taught her, how she has learned to live with chronic illness, the importance of choosing hope even in painful moments, and why our struggles don't have to define who we become.

If you've ever experienced loss, faced health challenges, or simply needed a reminder that healing is possible, I think you'll find encouragement in Cyndee's story.

EP241: Rebuilding After Grief and Narcissistic Abuse with Julie Barth

Wed, 24 Jun 2026 16:19:14 +0000

In this episode, we welcome Julie Barth for a powerful conversation about loss, caregiving, emotional abuse, survival, and rebuilding life after trauma.

JULIE BARTH is a writer, mother of six, trauma survivor, and founder of the Colin James Barth Outreach, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting women-led households in times of crisis. Julie’s memoir, NOTES FROM A BLACKBERRY, is a deeply moving account of love, loss, and resilience, chronicling her journey as a special needs parent while navigating the heartbreaking realities of her first husband’s battle with cancer.

Julie discusses the complexities of loss, emotional abuse, and rebuilding life after trauma. With so many women silently enduring these struggles—whether as caregivers, widows, or survivors of toxic relationships—Julie’s story is both deeply personal and yet universally relevant. Your conversation with her will provide your listeners actionable steps they can take toward healing, securing safety and resources, and ultimately reclaiming personal power.

For many women, the burden of caregiving, financial instability, or an emotionally abusive relationship can feel isolating and impossible to escape. Julie’s journey—from raising a daughter with a rare genetic disorder to losing her first husband to cancer and then surviving years of financial and emotional abuse in her second marriage—sheds light on the hidden struggles so many endure behind closed doors. Through her nonprofit and her writing, she’s committed to helping women in crisis understand that leaving isn’t just possible—it’s necessary. Julie’s insight offers a compelling discussion about resilience, recognizing red flags, and taking back control of their lives.

EP239: Healing Self-Doubt and Overthinking with Betsy Holmberg

Thu, 11 Jun 2026 16:40:13 +0000

Betsy Holmberg, PhD, is an award-winning psychologist and author specializing in overthinking and negative self-talk. She writes for Psychology Today, and has been featured in radio, television, and podcasts. Her first book, Unkind Mind, comes out June 1 by New Harbinger Publications. Before settling into writing and therapy, Betsy ran the global behavioral health service line at McKinsey & Company, a premier consulting firm. She also worked at Harvard and co-authored several peer-reviewed academic journal articles on non-suicidal self-injury and suicidal thoughts. She is trained in Cognitive-Behavioral and Dialectical Behavioral therapies and has treated clients of various ages and presentations. Betsy received her doctorate, master's and B.A. in Psychology from Duke University.

Does it ever feel like there’s a hypercritical, negative voice inside your head, telling you that you aren’t good enough, pretty enough, smart enough, or worthy of success or love? Negative self-talk is all too common, especially for women. This inner critic originally served an important evolutionary purpose—to ensure survival. The problem is, this voice can be difficult to “switch off,” leading to anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem. So, how can you move past negative self-talk and start living with confidence?

Written by a psychologist and expert in negative thinking, this book shines a light on where your hypercritical inner voice comes from—a deeply rooted survival mechanism in the brain called the default mode network (DMN). Using powerful skills drawn from neuroscience, you’ll learn how to flip the switch on your unkind mind, so you can move past self-critical thoughts, increase self-compassion, and decrease feelings of shame, guilt, regret, and inadequacy.

You’ll also discover how to:
Stay calm and present in social settings
Stop comparing yourself to others
Reconnect with your true inner voice—your kind mind
Live with courage and authenticity

Once you understand where your inner critic comes from, you’ll feel more empowered to tune it out, focus on your true inner voice instead, and get back to living your life with all the courage and confidence needed to thrive. This book will help guide you, step by step.

EP237: Healing Sexual Shame and Religious Trauma with Christina Braver

Fri, 29 May 2026 13:44:46 +0000

Christina Braver writes steamy, contemporary romance usually set in the Pacific Northwest. Her stories are character driven and feature strong heroes with softer sides, heroines who make it happen, and the guaranteed happily-ever-after we all need.

“A little bit nerdy and a little bit dirty”, her books address deeper issues such as women’s sexual health and sex positivity for all.

When she isn’t writing, Christina can be found laughing too loudly with friends, sipping wine, or reading. She lives outside Seattle with her data-geek husband and two new adults who mostly don’t mind telling people what Mom writes.

EP230: Healing and Live Without Leaving Yourself Behind with Steve Nagib

Tue, 14 Apr 2026 16:47:24 +0000

Steve Nagib is one of the sponsors and a keynote speaker at the Finding Your Voice After Trauma Summit, happening May 14–15 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET. Registration will be available soon!

Steve Nagib is a board-certified athletic trainer, holistic wellness guide, and community builder on a mission to help modern professionals heal, perform, and live without leaving themselves behind.

For over a decade, Steve worked on the sidelines of professional sports — and when he says sidelines, he means it literally. As a certified athletic trainer (ATC) and certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) with a master's degree in human physiology and biomechanics, Steve spent years inside the NFL, NBA, and MLB helping elite athletes recover from injuries that threatened to end their careers. He worked with professional teams including the Pittsburgh Pirates, trained athletes at the NBA Academy in Africa, and supported olympians, special operations forces, and Fortune 100 executives in reaching peak performance.

But the deeper Steve went into the world of high performance, the more he saw what no one was talking about. Behind the highlight reels, he watched grown men and women battle identity crises, emotional turmoil, and unprocessed trauma at the highest level. The physical body was only part of the story — and often, it was the last thing breaking down.

That realization hit close to home. Steve recognized that he had his own growth, healing, and inner work waiting for him in those very same spaces. The man helping others recover was quietly in need of his own recovery.

In 2023, Steve made a bold decision. He stepped away from everything and embarked on a six-month sabbatical traveling the globe, chasing questions that didn't yet have words. That journey stripped away the titles, the routines, and the armor he'd built over a career spent being strong for other people. What remained was a deeper understanding of what it actually means to be well — not just physically, but in the fullest sense of the word.

Steve returned with a new mission: to optimize the entire human experience. Drawing on his clinical background, his published research in concussion rehabilitation, and the hard-won wisdom of his own healing journey, Steve now works with high achievers who are successful on paper but silently struggling underneath. The CEO who provides for his family but hasn't been present in years. The executive who blazes trails publicly but is running on empty privately.

Steve's approach is built on what he calls the four C's: curiosity, compassion, communication, and collaboration. He listens without judgment, creates space for truth, and helps people build a life where performance and healing aren't at odds — but woven together.

EP226: Girl, Groomed: A Journey of Healing Complex Trauma with Carol Odell

Tue, 17 Mar 2026 10:05:02 +0000

Therapist confronts childhood abuse, sharing a powerful story of survival, resilience and empowerment in new memoir
SEATTLE – Seasoned psychotherapist Carol Odell's memoir “Girl, Groomed: A Therapist’s Memoir of Trauma” (She Writes Press, April 22, 2025) is an unflinching exploration of her journey to confront and heal from the complex trauma of childhood sexual abuse within the world of Virginia’s equestrian show-jumping circuit.

Raw and riveting, “Girl, Groomed” is an evolving story of coming to terms with the impacts of Odell’s own history of sexual abuse and violence at the hands of a predatory horse trainer who, for far too much of her young life, held all the reins. Set in the equestrian world of Virginia, this candid memoir details how, starting at ten years old, Carol falls under the spell of Clarentine, the charismatic—and explosively violent—owner of the stables just down the hill from her house. In tandem with that story, Carol examines the multi-faceted consequences of the complex trauma that resulted from the exploitative relationship Clarentine cultivated with her - including the resulting crisis she blindly imposes on her marriage. Chapters toggle back and forth between scenes of her childhood growing up jumping horses on the show circuit and the therapy sessions she later undergoes as an adult.

Using her own journey as an example, Carol demonstrates in this insightful memoir how unintegrated trauma limits us and our connection with others—and how the work of uncovering and reintegrating “what we do with what happens to us” can become the very source of our liberation.

EP225: Easing the Pain of Childhood Trauma with Lisa Tickel

Tue, 10 Mar 2026 13:30:57 +0000

Lisa Tickel is a resilient survivor of childhood abuse, dedicated to an inspiring journey of healing and transformation. After spending many years in survival mode, simply trying to get by, Lisa worked diligently to heal and reach a new chapter in her life. Her personal experiences have empowered her to help others embark on their own healing journeys. Her goal here is to help others shorten their suffering and she offers two ways to help others.

First, Lisa is the host of the podcast “Healing & Growing, Hand in Hand,” created to help ease the pain and suffering of childhood abuse and trauma survivors. Drawing from her personal experiences, Lisa shares stories of abuse and healing while offering a safe space for others to have a voice and share their journeys. There are 4 pillars the podcast is about:

Sharing Stories. Guests bravely share their stories of childhood abuse/trauma and their healing journey.
Experts. Experts and Professionals bring resources and tools to help in the healing process.
Awareness. Guests bring awareness to childhood abuse/trauma in lesser-known areas, such as abuse in childhood sports.
Preventative. Experts and Professionals bring advice on preventing childhood abuse and help reduce childhood traumatic events.

For eight years, Lisa co-facilitated a powerful women’s workshop, guiding hundreds of women as they begin or deepen their healing development. Reflecting on her experience, Lisa shares, “It was an honor to help these incredible women start their healing journeys, watching them blossom, connecting with one another, and creating new friendships. The impact of their healing extended beyond themselves to their loved ones as well.” She has created an 8-week “Women’s Childhood Abuse Healing Workshop” and offers it to women who want to begin or go deeper into their healing journey. The Workshop is an online and confidential setting where the groups are small to keep it intimate and safe. After the Workshop, the women can join the Women’s Healing Community to continue to get support and help. Right now, it’s only offered in the United States, but she will be looking for others to offer this Workshop around the world.

Beyond the mic and Workshop, she cherishes moments with her blended family, especially with the grandchildren. She and her husband enjoy going on long walks or hikes with their two dogs, Ace & Blackjack. She also enjoys spending time with friends, working in her garden or cooking up a new recipe.

EP222: Healing Through Emotional Freedom Techniques with Katarzyna Dodd

Tue, 17 Feb 2026 13:00:02 +0000

Master of Clinical Psychology (SWPS University, Warsaw) and Theology with a specialization in Spirituality (School of Theology in Chicago). She earned her Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) certification under the method’s creator, Gary Craig, in the United States. In 2006, she introduced EFT to Poland, initiating its development in the country.

Since 2007, she has been running a therapeutic practice, offering individual sessions and personal growth workshops. In her work, she employs EFT and the Inherence® Process – her proprietary method developed over eight years of research in expanded states of awareness. This process restores connection to the deep self, fostering harmony and higher states of consciousness. During her sessions and workshops, she teaches how to manage emotions, build healthy boundaries, enhance self-acceptance, and overcome limiting beliefs.

She specializes in cultivating the most important relationship in life – the relationship with one’s deep self. Her motto is: The relationship between the Inner Parent and Inner Child is the foundation of everything. Their unity is your state of happiness and harmony. Their fidelity is your unwavering self.

She is the author of the book “You Are the Dream of the Universe,” which helps readers discover the mechanisms governing their inner world and find balance between the Inner Child and the Inner Parent.

Her second book, “The Chameleon’s Game,” explores the hidden architecture of relationships with covert narcissists, exposing the emotional cycles that undermine self-trust and create confusion. It is both a revelation and a roadmap to reclaiming personal power.

Born and raised in Kraków, Poland, Katarzyna lived in the United States for over two decades before relocating to the East Coast of Africa by the Indian Ocean, where she continues to write, teach, and explore the inner architecture of human transformation.

A Reiki Master Teacher, Polarity Therapist, RYSE Teacher, Theta Healer, Universal White Time Healing practitioner, and certified Find Your Voice Coach, Scott blends a decade of study with the hard-earned wisdom of lived experience. Scott’s path into holistic healing began in the depths of loss. After a 20-year caregiving journey with his wife and multiply-impaired daughter and the passing of his wife of 39 years—he was guided into the world of energy, awareness, and transformation. Through this awakening, he discovered not only how to heal, but how to help others find meaning, freedom, and joy in their own lives. Through one-on-one sessions, teaching, hospice volunteering, and his monthly podcasts, Scott has held sacred space for countless professionals and seekers, helping them remember who they are and reconnect to their innate wholeness. His collaborations with Brave Healer Productions capture the essence of his journey: honest, heart-centered explorations of resilience, authenticity, and the alchemy of healing. When not teaching or writing, Scott can be found traveling the world with his wife, Patti—exploring sacred sites, tasting local cuisines, climbing mountains, and meditating by the sea. Yoga, Qigong, and daily meditation keep him grounded in gratitude, curiosity, and wonder for this extraordinary life we get to live.

EP216: Navigating Family Trauma and Grief with Emily Taylor Van De Ven

Wed, 07 Jan 2026 13:30:07 +0000

Emily Taylor Van De Ven is one of the speakers at the Finding Your Purpose After Trauma Summit. Register now to reserve your spot for free at https://www.healthrivedream.com/FindingYourPurposeSummit

Emily Taylor Van De Ven is the founder of Taylor Made Triumph. In January 2022, her husband, Ben, was tragically attacked while volunteering in Peru, leaving him in a vegetative state for nearly three years before his passing. This season of deep grief and profound loss reshaped everything Emily thought she knew about life, faith, and purpose.

Amid the devastation, Emily gradually discovered a path forward through gratitude, service, and mindset shifts, even when life felt shattered and impossible. Taylor Made Triumph was born from that journey—not because Emily has all the answers, but because she knows what it feels like to have none. She hopes her story can serve as a survival guide for others who feel as though they are drowning with no surface in sight.

Her mission is to walk alongside those navigating profound loss, helping them transform tragedy into a meaningful life of purpose. Through her podcast, blog, coaching, and curated resources, Emily provides practical tools, honest companionship, and a compassionate space for healing—without rushing, fixing, or minimizing pain.

Emily envisions hosting retreats and cultivating a community where healing, connection, and renewal can thrive without fear of judgment. Central to her mission is the belief that no pain is wasted when placed in God’s hands, and that life can be beautiful again—not by “getting over” loss, but by learning how to carry it forward. She is committed to walking with others through tears and laughter as they move beyond heartbreak and rediscover beauty, hope, and purpose.

EP214: Healing Through innovative In-Home Brain-Fitness Device with Judy

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 13:00:08 +0000

Judy Hahn is one of the speakers at the Finding Your Purpose After Trauma Summit. Register now to reserve your spot for free at https://www.healthrivedream.com/FindingYourPurposeSummit

Judy Hahn is known as The Brain Fitness Coach, a transformational guide who helps people think better, feel better, perform better, and live with deep, renewed confidence. With a trained as an integrative nutrition health coach, a background in functional wellness, decades of experience with brain entrainment, and an intuitive ability to see the bigger picture behind people’s struggles, Judy has become a sought-after mentor for adults, teens, and children seeking stress relief, increased focus and concentration, improved sleep, enhanced performance, cognitive clarity, and building lasting emotional resilience. Her work is built on a simple but powerful truth: the brain can change — and when the brain changes, life changes.

Judy blends science, strategy, and soul, helping her clients create new neural pathways through a cutting-edge in-home brain fitness device that supports stress reduction, mood regulation, mental clarity, focus, meditation, and recovery. Having used brain entrainment for more than 35 years, she brings both expertise and lived experience to her clients, guiding them through breakthroughs that elevate every part of their lives. Her mission intensified when her husband experienced a minor cognitive issue. That experience became a turning point, solidifying Judy’s dedication to helping others protect and strengthen the most essential part of their wellbeing — their mind. Today, she works with individuals, families, professionals, athletes, and children to create stronger brains, more resilient nervous systems and more empowered lives.

In addition to her brain-fitness work, Judy empowers women and men to restore confidence and vitality through Riman, premium, science-backed Korean skincare and wellness solutions that repair the skin at the cellular level. After years of using only a bar of goat’s milk soap, a friend invited her to try a clean, results-driven Korean line — and the transformation she saw in just 29 days reignited her confidence and awakened a passion she never expected. Today, she pairs brain health and clean beauty as part of her signature Mind, Body, Glow philosophy: when the mind calms and the skin glows, confidence rises, vitality returns and optimal health is achieved.

What truly sets Judy apart is the constellation of qualities that shape everything she does. She has a deep sense of interconnectedness, always noticing patterns, meaning, and purpose in the people and events around her. She is naturally strategic, able to see possibilities and pathways where others see obstacles. She is a lifelong learner, energized by growth and constant discovery. She embodies unwavering responsibility, doing what she says she will do and showing up with integrity in every relationship. And she is guided by a powerful values-driven purpose, choosing work that matters, uplifts, and serves.

These qualities make Judy both trusted and beloved — a coach who leads with heart, clarity, insight, and an uncanny ability to help people feel deeply understood. Judy’s mission is clear: to help people reclaim their confidence, strengthen their brains, elevate their wellbeing, and age radiantly — inside and out. She believes that everyone deserves to feel aligned, resilient, and lit from within. Her work brings that possibility to life every single day.

Podcast EP208: Getting Through Grief and Trauma with Kip

Thu, 04 Dec 2025 08:36:37 +0000

Some leaders work hard to climb mountains. Kip Clarke helps leaders see that mountains aren't obstacles – they're opportunities in disguise. A 6-time World Championship tennis athlete and award-winning leader, Kip doesn't just break conventional paradigms – she helps leaders design their future ones today. Where conventional wisdom says, "Start from where you are," Kip helps clients start from where you're meant to be. As a leadership alchemist, Kip transforms high achievers who are tired of incremental gains into leaders who make quantum leaps. Her methodology flips traditional coaching on its head: instead of simply building on past successes, she helps clients reverse-engineer breakthroughs from their most audacious future visions. Where others see 10% improvements, she sees opportunities to reimagine the game entirely. Kip's clients don't just reach their goals – they create new paradigms. Drawing on more than 4 decades of experience as a coach, researcher, educator, and athlete, she helps leaders transcend traditional growth models and step into possibilities that seem impossible by conventional standards. Her approach proves that exponential leaps are often simpler than small steps – if you're brave enough to challenge everything you think you know about progress. When she's not helping clients revolutionize their leadership approach, you'll find her on a tennis court, restoring century homes, out in Nature, or hunting for that next fabulous fountain pen to add to her collection. To Kip, excellence and fun aren't mutually exclusive. After all, anyone can help you climb mountains – only Kip can help you transform those mountains into exciting catalysts for quantum growth.

EP207: Escaping a Toxic, Abusive Marriage: The Victoria Ellen Story

Tue, 25 Nov 2025 14:01:27 +0000

Victoria Ellen is a survivor, the mother of two adult children, a wife, and an executive in corporate America. In 2023, she published her first book titled “Painting in the Rain: A True Story of Trickery and Triumph.” Victoria speaks for corporate events, is featured as a guest on pod casts and does book signing events for local organizations in the Cincinnati area. She is passionate about sharing her inspirational story with the world. In her spare time, she enjoys traveling, singing, and gardening. She divides her time between her homes in Ohio and in the Caribbean.

Victoria Ellen looks the part of a successful career woman. But she has led a life that is even more intense than her striking blue eyes seem to suggest. Behind the scenes, she spent more than a decade relentlessly pursuing justice for her children—a battle that led to the Ohio Supreme Court and beyond. She started out as a divorced single mother, struggling to get by after escaping a toxic marriage. She and her children spent years in therapy to overcome the trauma they endured.

After traveling that bumpy road, Victoria became an award-winning businesswoman, a happily married wife, and the proud mother of two thriving college students. Now, she and her family are candidly and courageously disclosing their transformative tale. It’s a story that exposes how the justice system, which was designed to help people, can ironically be manipulated to silence the cries of victims.

Victoria was devoted to being the voice of her children when they were too young to speak for themselves. Even when they were older, the children felt that the court system disregarded their rights—and, incredulously, their mother was sentenced to jail for passionately advocating on their behalf. Through it all, Victoria relied on her faith, intelligence, and raw determination— and now basks in victory on every level. She has found true love. She has found happiness and success. She has found her destiny. And she hopes that, by sharing her story, she can help you to do the same.

EP206: Understanding Sexual Health Conditions with Eve

Wed, 19 Nov 2025 17:17:38 +0000

Eve Hall wasn't always so bold and strutting her Big Clit Energy. She is a survivor of childhood sexual abuse and sexual assault and carved her own unique path to sexual liberation. After a failed marriage, she decided to experiment, and experiment she did! Eve dabbled in worlds that many only fantasize about and came out on the other side a bisexual modern woman. She is more dominant than submissive, and she enjoys a kink or two. On a professional level, Eve has been practicing Physical Therapy for over 20 years and has focused her specialty on Sexual Health. She treats conditions such as Erectile Dysfunction, and its female equivalent Decreased Sensitivity and Dryness. She takes a multifaceted approach that looks at nutrition and other factors and provides the gold standard in treatment for these conditions...Acoustic Wave Therapy. Ask her all about it! Eve's podcast Please Me! is ranked in the top 2.5% globally. On her podcast Eve stresses the importance of sexual health and insists that there is no shame in having a sexual health condition. She encourages people to seek help because these conditions are as valid and worthy of treatment as any other condition you may suffer from. The sooner you tackle any condition, the better your results, and it is no different with regards to sexual health. Because of shame, many people wait very long to even report issues with their doctors, and the more severe the condition, the harder it will be to show improvement. This is why Eve stresses the importance of communication in all aspects of our lives, including with our medical professionals! Eve has an invention in the safe sex space and is also looking for angel investors or partners to make this dream a reality. Eve believes that this product will change the way we have sex and will be a game changer on many levels. Safe sex is the best sex. Lastly, but not least, Eve has launched an ongoing Orgasm Revolution that is bringing awareness to the Orgasm Gap. Eve is on a mission to close the Orgasm Gap one person at a time through awareness, education, and empowerment. Ask her how to join the Orgasm Revolution. Eve is a member of the BIPOC & LGBTQ community!

EP201: Building Recovery into Healing with Tammy

Mon, 20 Oct 2025 14:47:10 +0000

Tammy Aston is one of the speakers at the upcoming Finding Energy After the Toxic Impact of Trauma Summit. Join us on October 23–24: https://www.healthrivedream.com/FindingEnergysummit

Tammy is a Somatic Wellness Coach living in Cleveland, OH. Originally from Missouri, she grew up in poverty, surrounded by domestic violence. At 17, she made the decision to leave Missouri and never look back. She became an emancipated minor and joined the military, arriving in Germany for her first duty station at 17 years old. From there, she built my life from the ground up.

After 15 years in the military, including a tour in Iraq, she left to raise her daughter as a single parent, putting her through college and supporting her through her own journey. Raising her daughter is unquestionably her greatest accomplishment!

And if you’re wondering about the highlight of her career, she spent 10 years working at the White House under Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama—no small feat for someone who started with nothing. But even then, stress was a constant and she was determined to overcome it.

Therapy has been a huge part of her life. She’s spent years working through her own trauma and she’s still doing the work.

Why? Because healing isn’t a one-time event. It's a lifelong process. Through therapy, Core-Centering, Cross Mapping and practices like Restorative and Hatha yoga, she learned to release and integrate the tension and trauma held in her body, something she brings into her coaching practice every day.

As a Somatic Wellness Coach, Tammy holds certifications as a Core-Centering Practitioner, Certified Professional Coach, and COR.E Wellbeing Dynamics Specialist (CWDS).

She continues to study somatic coaching practices and is working towards her Somatic Coach Professional Certification in Sensation-Based Motivation Coaching through Somatic Coaching Academy.

What sets her approach apart is that her focus isn’t just the mind. She offers a balanced program that works from both the top down and the bottom up.

In her transformative coaching program, she helps her clients work on mental clarity, and also address the stress stored in their body, helping them find relief physically as they heal emotionally."

Since then, she has used her personal experiences to help others heal trauma and expand their spiritual gifts.

Annie Emprima is the owner of One Emprima, a service based business where science, spirit, and strategy converge. She is an Army veteran, startup angel investor, intuitive trauma coach, and metaphysical researcher whose life’s work is rooted in unlocking the deeper truths that drive human behavior and possibility.

In 2016, Annie deployed to Kuwait with the Army National Guard as the non-commissioned lead for a brigade support operations finance section, traveling to areas of Kuwait, Iraq, Qatar, and Jordan in service of her mission and country. That same training, courage, and clarity now drive her work with leaders, entrepreneurs, and those on a journey of personal transformation.

Holding a doctorate in metaphysics—the third pillar of philosophy that explores what exists beyond observable physics—Annie’s research spans the impact of emotions on the mind and body, the link between neuroanatomy and psychic ability, and energy mapping of emotions. She blends her understanding of psychology, the subconscious mind, and quantum consciousness to help people recognize and resolve conflict in the mind, body, and spirit—and then use that insight as fuel for growth,healing, and business success.

Annie is also a champion of small businesses and the entrepreneurial spirit. Since 2016, she has invested over $80,000 in helping Nevada-based businesses launch and expand. She is a proud five-year member of the StartupNV Angel Fund, AngelNV, where she continues to support and elevate new ventures with vision and heart. As of 2025, Annie has dedicated her efforts to raising up women, BIPOC, and LBGTQ+ members of the community.

In addition to her entrepreneurial work, Annie has been serving on the State of Nevada Women Veteran Advisory Committee since 2017 and currently holds the title of Vice Chair—advocating for equity, access, and recognition for the female veteran community.

With a passion for both personal and collective empowerment, Annie Emprima teaches us how to see deeper, feel stronger, and rise higher.

EP192: Why Trauma Keeps You Stuck— How to Break FREE with Kim

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 14:56:33 +0000

Kim Tonizzo is the owner of The Source Harmonic Egg of Northern Virginia. Drawn to holistic healing and energy work for over 20 years, her journey began when her children were born, prompting her to seek alternatives to traditional Western medicine. In November 2023, Kim became a certified Harmonic Egg Guardian after extensive reading and training. Through this process, she discovered how long her nervous system had been dysregulated, operating in a constant sympathetic state. Kim remains passionate about learning and teaching others the vital connection between energy, emotional processing, and nervous system regulation for overall health and well-being.

The Science of Healing with Sound and Light Scientific studies reveal that colors and sounds generate energy fields, electrical impulses, and magnetic currents that are the primary activators of the hormonal and biochemical processes in the human body. Moreover, these essential sedatives and stimulants are necessary to balance the entire body system and organs. Data suggests that energy therapy balances the Autonomic Nervous System, detoxes the body, reduces inflammation, increases circulation, and clears trauma at a cellular level. The resonant frequency used by the Harmonic Egg® / Ellipse® has an ability to detect the vibration of your body and any imbalance. That imbalance is harmonized with the exact opposite frequency.

EP191: What Actually Helps Us Heal From Trauma with Jen

Thu, 28 Aug 2025 14:51:08 +0000

Jennifer Westcott is a therapist, artist, mother, wife, and passionate advocate for the well-being of mental health professionals. Her mission is to help therapists feel supported, human, and compassionate toward themselves—because she knows firsthand how vital this is.

Jennifer’s passion stems from her own healing journey, shaped by both profound and painful experiences with therapy. Raised in a family that appeared perfect on the outside but hid deep dysfunction, alcoholism, and incest, she faced unimaginable trauma. At 36, Jennifer suddenly recalled being sexually abused by her mother—a revelation that shook her world and began a long road to healing and sobriety.

Her recovery led her through countless therapy sessions, psychiatric and psychological care, alternative healing circles, and 12-step programs. These experiences ignited a burning question: What truly helps people heal—and what doesn’t?

As a clinical supervisor and private therapist, Jennifer transformed her entire approach to client care, focusing on authenticity, humanity, and the sacred nature of healing. She firmly believes therapists who embrace their own stories and vulnerabilities create the deepest impact for their clients.

Through Therapist Sanctuary, Jennifer is creating a space where therapists can share the human experience of their profession—beyond supervision and training—and rediscover the wonder and sacredness of their work.

Jennifer’s work is driven by the belief that when therapists are real, grounded, and supported, they help clients heal profoundly.

EP175: Has Medicine Lost Its Mind? with Dr. Robert

Tue, 29 Apr 2025 15:02:26 +0000

Dr. Robert Smith is a speaker of Finding Revitalization After the Physical Effects of Trauma Summit
Talk Title: Has Medicine Lost Its Mind?
Join us: https://www.healthrivedream.com/Finding-Revitalization

Every day, millions of Americans face untreated mental health challenges—and too often, their first point of contact is a medical doctor unequipped to help. Most physicians aren’t trained to recognize or treat mental health conditions, yet they’re the ones patients turn to first. This gap in training has devastating consequences, contributing to the mental health crisis we see today.

Dr. Robert Smith, a seasoned physician and thought leader, is sounding the alarm: medical doctors need fundamental training in mental health care. His new book, Has Medicine Lost Its Mind? Why Our Mental Health System is Failing Us and What Should Be Done to Cure (Prometheus Books, March 4, 2025), not only exposes the problem but also lays out a bold, practical roadmap for reforming the system—and saving lives. He makes a compelling and provocative case for why mental health treatment and information must be widely available and not thought of as the province of the psychiatric profession. For any person who has ever felt frustrated talking to a doctor about depression, anxiety, stress or grief, Dr. Smith will provide validation. And hope!

Why This Conversation Matters Mental illness touches everyone—either personally or through someone we love. Unlike physical illnesses, the impacts of stress, depression, and grief are far-reaching and often invisible. The numbers are staggering: one in four Americans will face a major mental illness in any given year, and nearly 75% of those individuals won’t receive treatment.

Dr. Smith’s first-hand experiences reveal how the medical system is failing these patients. Physicians—without the necessary training in mental health—often misdiagnose or fail to treat these conditions, leaving patients to suffer. Through his powerful stories from the front lines, Dr. Smith brings the urgency of this issue into sharp focus. He’s not just diagnosing the problem—he’s offering hope and solutions.

The Big Picture Dr. Smith believes change starts with education. He’s calling for a new “Flexner Report” (modeled on the transformative 1910 study that revolutionized medical education) to address this crisis. His step-by-step plan for integrating mental health training into medical education is ambitious but achievable—and the stakes couldn’t be higher.

This conversation is more than just an eye-opener. It’s a call to action for your listeners, inviting them to rethink what quality health care should look like.

Key Topics Dr. Smith Can Discuss:

Why so many mental health issues go untreated and misdiagnosed—and what it costs us as a society.
How medical doctors can better address mental health needs with proper training. And tips on how patients should talk to doctors about mental health.
How to know if you should see a doctor about depression, anxiety or other mental health issues.
The hidden consequences of the mind-body split in modern medicine. The importance of integrating mindfulness and exercise into "treatment."
Practical solutions for integrating mental health care into the broader medical system.
How listeners can support Dr. Smith’s mission to fix modern medicine.

Listen for Yourself. Dr. Smith has been widely interviewed by national media ranging from The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The Today Show and more. He is a frequent columnist for Psychology Today. Take a moment to listen to him here on:

Linda's Corner
Seize the Moment
Schizophrenia: Three Moms in the Trenches

Dr. Smith’s expertise, his unfiltered perspective on the medical establishment, and his vision for a better future will strike a chord with anyone who has struggled with mental health or witnessed its toll. This is more than just a conversation—it’s a movement. Has Medicine Lost Its Mind?

EP174: Restore Vitality to You and The Planet with Martin

Tue, 22 Apr 2025 17:07:33 +0000

Martin Pytela is a speaker of Finding Revitalization After the Physical Effects of Trauma Summit
Talk Title: Biological Individuality Determines Your Health Outcomes
Join us: https://www.healthrivedream.com/Finding-Revitalization

Martin Pytela, a respected functional medicine expert and Metabolic Typing coach, whose mission is to "Restore Vitality to You and The Planet." With over 12,000 clients coached since 2011 and over 60,000 students enrolled in his Udemy courses, Martin has a wealth of knowledge to share on topics such as healing trauma, managing stress and anxiety, emotions, spirituality, weight loss, metabolism, longevity, mindfulness, gut health, and overall health.

Martin Pytela (rhymes with patella) became a health coach after overcoming serious health challenges. Many great healers have their own hero-journey stories of overcoming difficult and often life-altering challenges. Martin's health was dramatically altered for the worse when, at age 25, he received 12 mercury amalgam fillings.

Determined to reclaim his well-being, Martin embarked on an arduous yet enlightening path of self-discovery. For ten years, he immersed himself in a wealth of knowledge, reading thousands of pages of literature and reports (before the internet) in pursuit of holistic healing. Armed with newfound insights and fueled by a relentless spirit, he invested over a hundred thousand dollars into his journey toward restoration.

In 2001, Martin traded his career as a management consultant for building a health coach business called Life Enthusiast and a superfood manufacturing business called Exsula.

Today, Martin’s legacy helps people discover how genetics and lifestyle intersect to create either illness or health. His steadfast commitment to healing, deep empathy, and tireless dedication serve as a beacon of inspiration for those navigating their journey toward vibrant health and vitality.

EP172: Surviving Poverty and Victimhood with Carol

Tue, 08 Apr 2025 11:51:40 +0000

Carol Williams, the unstoppable force in soloist woman entrepreneurship. Since 2009, she's conquered career shifts, liberated herself from a toxic marriage, emerging as a leader in coaching. Carol empowers visionary women to unlock their potential. She's known for her holistic approach, playful spirit, and uncanny ability to inspire transformation.

For her whole life, Carol has been a person who has had only a few, close friends. She goes deep with her coaching as she has always gone deep with her friendships. Carol values self-leadership, grit, and self-reliance.

She has worked for pay since age 15 and never looked back. Financial freedom is freedom itself, and above all, Carol is a free spirit. She believes we are all capable and if set free, we can do what we are on this earth to do this time around.

Love has been an interesting challenge for Carol. The daughter of an empath, she lacked boundaries and wound up marrying an abusive man. Armed with a value system that denied divorce, she tried everything but when the abuse hit her oldest son, she regrettably took action and exited the marriage.

Through much work, Carol has emerged from poverty and victimhood, and has created a thriving coaching business. This enabled her to purchase her home and provide for her children. She no longer believes the lies her former spouse tells her, and helps empower "all over the place" women executive coaches to own their rightful place 'at the table'. These women now shine their own light in the world and the ripple effect expands daily.

EP164: Opening Eyes to Your Story and Becoming Your Best Self with Susan

Tue, 28 Jan 2025 10:37:36 +0000

At 61, Susan Glenney published her first book, Moments in Time with 16 Men, a coming-of-age novel she's thrilled to share with readers.

The story follows Jennifer Donnelly, an award-winning teacher who leaves her career after uncovering the truth about her childhood. As family secrets come to light, Jennifer must confront her past and unearth the truth about what really happened. While navigating her personal journey, she encounters 16 men—representing the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful—each playing a part in her self-discovery. Through these experiences, Jennifer learns that true love doesn't come from others but from within. When she embraces self-love, she rises to new heights, growing as a woman, a writer, a lover, and a human.

Susan’s book speaks to women, reflecting how relationships—whether with ourselves, our families, or romantic partners—shape us. When trauma touches one aspect of life, it often reverberates through others. Life isn't always easy, but it takes resilience and self-reflection to grow and evolve.

Susan hopes her book will encourage readers to examine their own stories, helping them transform into the best version of themselves. After all, don’t we all want to be the best we can be?

Outside of writing, Susan has been on a spiritual journey for 35 years. She's passionate about the outdoors and loves experiencing the unique beauty of the four seasons in New England. Susan embraces the joy in everyday moments and brings that energy wherever she goes. As a guest on your podcast, she looks forward to sharing that same joy and inspiration.

EP161: The Art of Transformation: Spirit Portraits with Heather

Fri, 17 Jan 2025 14:42:38 +0000

HEATHER ECK is a multimedia abstract artist and writer. An intuitive artist and painter, Heather interprets people, places, and experiences through color, a condition known as synesthesia. Like an enormous box of crayons, her gift operates by categorizing through intricate but specific shades of color. While this condition enables her to experience color, she responds to these encounters with people, things, emotions, and spaces by understanding the particular shade of experience that a person dwells in. She uses her gift to detect the most healing color for them to remedy their wounds. Guided by the chakra system and inspired by spirituality and the mysteries of the universe, Heather transforms these vibrant energies into captivating paintings that uplift and inspire and ultimately, heal.

Each canvas becomes a symphony of color and emotion, a visual representation of the unseen connections that weave through our lives. Heather's work is more than art; it's a medium of healing, a testament to the profound influence of color on our well-being.

Spirit Portraits: a custom painting experience where I create a painting based on what colors I see around you, and a Zoom session where I share what I see and what the painting means for you!

EP160: Healing Through Therapeutic Drumming with Dori

Tue, 14 Jan 2025 21:10:46 +0000

A freak accident in 2011 triggered a rare disease and caused Dori Staehle to rethink her life and her purpose. She asked God to give her a way to heal herself and others. The answer was: “Use your drums.” In 2 weeks, she was healed.

She then started her fourth business, Next Stage Drumming, with only $40 and when she was well into her 50's, doing mainly classes, events, and private drum therapy sessions.

Once Dori began to infuse some Spirit-led coaching, she began to see breakthroughs taking place very quickly! She realized that she needed to share this with more women in the mid-season of life because...

You're never too old and it's never too late...to rock what you've got!
Dori is a certified drum therapist, has a drum ministry, and two encouraging books on Amazon. She lives in the Raleigh, NC area but also works virtually.

EP152: Embracing Healing and Transformation with Dora

Tue, 05 Nov 2024 13:37:59 +0000

Dora Spectacular is a fashionista and personality who was born in Pittsburgh and raised in Dallas.

Dora dreams, eats, sleeps, lives and breathes fashion, and loves to wear it, too. At a young age, Dora realized that she wasn't cut out to be a scientist like her parents who sent people to other planets. She was already living on another 'planet'.

Growing up, Dora's Dad showed favoritism towards her two brothers which left her feeling belittled. She became a recluse, hiding behind the walls she created, not realizing at this time that many other people around the world were in a similar discouraging predicament.

Dora began her serious focus on a journey of self-discovery living abroad in Paris, France. Her passion for "zany" people and fashion came together while interviewing celebrities and fashion icons at New York Fashion Week and the Paris Haute Couture. Dora loved that people informed her how much they enjoyed the interactions; some had even giggled away their feelings of depression.

With the help of brilliant ministry and counselling, Dora understood the challenges others face, and she discovered it takes conscious effort to stop the sneaky cloud of negativity spreading its shadow upon one's spirit! She learned to see beyond her dad's flaws and love him unconditionally.

Thanks to the freedom that Dora found through UP shifting and some serious healing, quirkiness is now her natural state of being she's a rather fashionable nerd!

Dora Spectacular is a comedic personality, fashion maven, and Motivational Personality all rolled in to one.

EP148: Navigating the Aftermath of Homicide & Suicide with Dr. Canty

Tue, 08 Oct 2024 10:35:27 +0000

A native Detroiter, Jan Canty, Ph.D. is a psychologist, writer, photographer, educator, consultant and cancer survivor. She holds a terminal degree in psychology as well as a post-doctoral fellowship from Wayne State University School of Medicine, Department of Family Medicine. Then life happened. And grew dark. It was July of 1985.

Her spouse of 11 years went missing and was found murdered 250 miles away. The media exposure was immediate and relentless. Reporters tailed her to the medical examiner building, disrupted the funeral and published a map to her house on the front page of the news. After the trial and convictions in December she quietly moved deep into the Midwest and began her 30-year redacted life.

Dr. Canty taught psychology at a small, rural college away from tourists, airports, memories and intrusive questions. She later adopted two special needs sisters and remarried a Lt. Colonel Airborne Ranger. She worked as a forensic psychologist in a large state mental hospital and taught graduate school in the evening. Her chosen specialty was cross-cultural psychology which lent itself to photography and international travel to remote villages on five continents.

Dr. Canty was awarded Faculty of the Year her second year of teaching and received awards for her photography. While preparing for her fifth triathlon she fell climbing a muddy hill and broke her arm. A day later she had a cancer diagnosis, a titanium rod in her arm and began the year long process of undergoing a stem cell transplant.

Life circumstances delivered her to be uniquely qualified to address surviving murder both from a professional and personal viewpoint. This is the underpinning to her true crime memoir, A Life Divided. She then launched a podcast for other so-called homicide survivors entitled “Domino Effect of Murder” in 2020. It is now heard in 22 countries. She administers a private Facebook group for people struggling with grief after homicide (called Homicide Survivors and Thrivers). And in May of 2023 she published her second book. This publication is a 455-page reference book, entitled “What Now? Navigating the Aftermath of Homicide and Suicide” for both homicide and suicide survivors.

Dr. Canty presently lives and works (as a consultant) for the federal government and spends free time with family and friends, two Saint Bernards, her photography, public speaking and gardening. Her favorite quote is from Helen Keller: Although the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.

EP142: Vivien's Holocaust Family Trauma History

Mon, 12 Aug 2024 22:55:02 +0000

Dr. Vivien Sieber is a biologist who trained in plant genetics. After ten years of biomedical research, she began lecturing in Genetics. Her interests moved into academic development, learning technology and information literacy. During her career Vivien worked in a range of UK universities. Although Vivien has published many peer-reviewed journal articles on her research, Kino and Kinder is her first book. CV 2010 - 2014 Head of Learning & Research Support and Development; Deputy Director Library & Learning Support Services, University of Surrey 2003 - 2010 Head Medical Sciences Division Learning Technologies, University of Oxford 2001 - 2003 Academic Leader and Manager: Teaching and Learning Technology Centre, Centre for Academic & Professional Development, London Metropolitan University 1993 - 2000 Senior Lecturer in Genetics, Department of Life Sciences, University of East London 1991 - 1992 Senior Research Fellow, Basic Medical Sciences, Queen Mary University of London 1984 - 1990 Doctoral Researcher, University of Oxford 1981 - 1983 Research Associate, University of Manchester/SERC Daresbury Laboratory 1980 Clinical Cytogeneticist, Sutton and West Merton AHA 1975 - 1980 Botany Technician, Westfield College, University of London Kino and Kinder: A family’s journey in the shadow of the Holocaust Vivien inherited a collection of letters, journals and family photographs from her father, Peter, along with the responses to his 1999 survey of the Kinder transport girls (as mature women) cared for by her grandmother in the hostel. Paula was one of the matrons and kept in touch with many of the girls through out her life. Vivien was privileged to meet some of these women who generously shared their memories. They talked about leaving their families as young children, their time in the hostel and later lives. Many of their words are included in Kino and Kinder. During a visit to Vienna (2019) Vivien visited the flat her grandmother was forced to leave in 1938, This began a quest to discover what had happened to family who had not escaped and the cinema. Using papers from the Austrian state and city archives and historical databases, Vivien reconstructed events during and after the war (1938 – 1952). Information from the archives corroborated correspondence between her father and grandmother. Peter left a contemporaneous journal that recorded his internment in the Isle of Man and Canada which gives a unique insight into the experience. He also left unpublished manuscripts with compelling details of the rise of antisemitism in Vienna in the 1930s, and his time in the Royal Navy and naval intelligence. Although Vivien has no formal training in historical methodologies, her career was spent in academia. She is very experienced working with information: finding, evaluating and verifying sources. Visits to Brno, Vienna and Windermere helped her to write Kino and Kinder. Vivien used these rich historical resources as a scaffold to build and tell the history of a twentieth century Jewish family and the Holocaust. As the daughter and grand daughter of survivors, she is in a unique position to tell their story.

Laura Renner is a nurse-turned-author who suffered a traumatic brain injury in 2021, which only added to her list of major health scares over the previous five years.

She spent the next year and half exploring all the trauma healing modalities she could find to heal her mind and body. Laura details this experience in her book, "No, I'm Not Fine. Thank You." where she discusses her journey of identifying her traumas, healing deep wounds, and how she reclaimed her power.

EP137: Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint with Judy

Sat, 27 Jul 2024 13:15:10 +0000

Judy Wilkins Smith - World- renowned Systemic Work and Constellations Expert, Motivational Speaker, and Author of Decoding Your Emotional Blueprint: A Powerful Guide to Transformation through Disentangling Multigenerational Patterns (Sounds True) shares her expertise on relinquishing the victimhood mindset and harnessing the power positivity.

“Life is coming from you... not at you.” - Timothee Chalamet

The Perilous Rise of the Culture of Victimhood Move Beyond the Victimhood Mindset & Unleash the Power of Possibility.

Have you found yourself getting lost in endless cycles of negative thinking? If so, you’re not alone. In recent years, negativity seems to have invaded every aspect of our lives. From social media trends to the film & TV industry, it has become a cultural phenomenon in our day-to-day lives to align and identify with the worst things that have happened to us.

Consider the title of Jennette McCurdy’s viral memoir I’m Glad My Mom Died or the highly controversial TV show Euphoria. The message being relayed, particularly to younger audiences, is that your trauma is the thing that sets you apart and makes you special. This frame of thinking warps our perspective until it becomes nearly impossible to separate ourselves from the negativity in our lives. We focus on how to suffer greatly rather than investing in our inherent greatness.

We are so much more than our traumas or the victims of our circumstances. It is time to refocus our purpose on finding and developing the gifts that we have been granted, the communities that support us, and the ability to constantly evolve into better versions of ourselves.

Now, the question is how do we break these cycles and prioritize positivity in our lives?

EP136: Let Your Heart Be Broken with Tina Davidson

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 08:00:03 +0000

Tina Davidson, a highly regarded American composer, creates music that stands out for its emotional depth and lyrical dignity. Lauded for her authentic voice, The New York Times has praised her “vivid ear for harmony and colors.” Opera News describes Tina Davidson’s musicas, “transfigured beauty,” and the Philadelphia Inquirer writes that she writes “real music, with structure, mood, novelty and harmonic sophistication – with haunting melodies that grow out of complex, repetitive rhythms.” Tina Davidson’s music can be heard on Albany Records, CRI, Mikrokosmik, Callisto, and Opus One recording labels – most recently recorded by Hilary Hahn on Deutsche Grammophon.

Her memoir, Let Your Heart Be Broken, Life and Music from a Classical Composer, is now available from Boyle & Dalton. Her memoir traces her extraordinary life in equally lyrical language, just a posing memory, journal entries, notes on compositions in progress, and insights into the life of an artist – and a mother – at work.

REVIEW "Let Your Heart Be Broken is a consummate read in its entirety, exploring with uncommon sensitivity and poetic insight the fundamentals of love, forgiveness, creativity, and what it takes to emerge from the inner darkness into a vast vista of light, rooted in the life - tested truth that “we are, in the end, a measure of the love we leave behind.” ( Maria Popova, The Marginalian )

Being Dutch, she is a bit of a bike messenger between the here and there, delivering messages from the many Master Teachers integral to helping elevate the consciousness of humanity and the planet. She has often stumbled through the darkness of her own trauma, but throughout her turbulent journey of overcoming, she decided to take the holistic route, walking through her highway of hell, facing her demons, that had kept her pain fully incarcerated for the longest time. Birgitta hopes that people will awaken to what life is all about, unlocking their own potential and BE-com-ing authentically and wholesome within themselves.

She says, "We have been given the breath of life, don't squander it living merely on the surface of who you believe yourself to be, remaining within your own trauma, but deep dive into the hues of the beautiful waters of the soul that is you, letting goo fall that weighs you down, resurfacing and returning to a love for ourselves and a joie de vivre for life."

EP128: How Therapeutic Mindfulness Can Heal You with Ruth

Sat, 27 Apr 2024 11:00:03 +0000

Ruth Fearnow's first book, Therapeutic Mindfulness, is a synthesis of her decades-long meditation practice and her work as a trauma-focused therapist. As a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Certified EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) practitioner, she has identified and embedded the factors necessary for healing into therapeutic mindfulness, a skill to facilitate one's healing journey. Ruth's private journey began as a young woman when she found herself studying Kungfu and qigong in Dengfeng City, China, the home of the famous Shaolin Temple. It was there she began a serious meditation practice. While this skill takes years to develop, this was her first big step to understanding mindfulness practices. Ruth's evolution into a trauma therapist has enabled her to integrate age-old wisdom with trauma-informed insight. As a result, she has developed healing philosophies and the process of therapeutic mindfulness which she practices personally, and teaches to her clientele, many of whom use it on their own. Therapeutic mindfulness has now been adopted for professional use by colleagues in the mental health field. Dealing with feelings directly is transformational and Therapeutic Mindfulness shows us how to do so. Ruth feels it is time to spread the word on a wide scale.

EP127: Overcoming the Horrors of Human Trafficking with Amanda

Tue, 23 Apr 2024 10:56:22 +0000

Amanda Blackwood wears; author, public speaker, podcast host, artist, survivor; but ultimately, she’s a woman who transformed her trauma into resilience and strength.

When Amanda finally managed to get away from the man who was trafficking her, she was thirty-one years old and didn’t know what she’d gone through even had a name, much less how to deal with the pain of feeling like a broken person, unworthy of love and filled with so much anger. On a freezing cold day in 2018 she saw former trafficked people standing strong and showing their beautiful resiliency on a stage at an anti-trafficking event. At that moment she finally knew what her purpose in life would be. Since then, Amanda has spoken on a multitude of stages, international summits, radio programs, and had over a dozen books. She launched two podcasts-one that focuses on interviewing other authors of trauma, and the other that discusses the long-term consequences of trauma and how to fight back for a better life. Amanda lives in Denver, Colorado with her rescue cats and supportive husband who keep her safe.

EP126: Transforming Traumatic Experience Into Peace with Susan

Wed, 10 Apr 2024 16:41:03 +0000

Susan Gold was raised in a challenging and chaotic family system, the middle child of five. To fully thrive, she bravely chose to meet the demons of her upbringing that were continuing to repeat. Her book, "Toxic Family: Transforming Childhood Trauma into Adult Freedom" is about that journey.

Professionally, Susan became known for attaching celebrity talent to projects in NYC which led her to produce for television and film and on to Los Angeles. She convinced modern art legend Andy Warhol to do an on-camera commercial for Pontiac, a talent deal American TV personality Donny Deutsch still claims as one of his best, helped launch Fox News Channel at the request of Chair , Roger Ailes, and on behalf of Disney Channel persuaded A-list celebrities including Ben Stiller , Jack Susan Gold.pdf Black, Taylor Swift, David Beckham and more to be interviewed by cartoon characters...Phineas & Ferb.

Susan is a decorated endurance athlete competing in three marathons, and dozens of triathlons and has the distinction of finishing third in her age group at the treacherous Escape from Alcatraz event.

After living with force on both coasts of the United States, Susan heeded an intuitive call for a quieter life and now resides in the northwest corner of the mystical state of Montana with her beloved partner and their pets. Keen on leaving a legacy to help others heal from challenges she’ s successfully met, Toxic Family: Transforming Childhood Trauma into Adult Freedom, is part of that quest. With the same magic Susan created in her entertainment career, she is now leading retreats, webinars, workshops and private sessions to help others drop outdated storylines and programming in exchange for living from the heart in authentic freedom as adults.

Supporting homeless animals, especially dogs, and cats, and helping others up the ladder are her joys. Her pride is her son, a political science major at the University of the Pacific.

EP109: Jillian Coburn's Story of Resilience and Hope after Violence and Assault

Wed, 15 Nov 2023 15:39:46 +0000

Jillian Coburn, a sexual assault survivor, advocate, and entrepreneur, is stepping out to share her story and implement positive change in our government legislation.

Jillian Coburn is an entrepreneur, inventor, writer, outdoors-woman, and mother of three, who is passionately committed to supporting and elevating women who have nowhere to turn and living under the shadows of domestic violence. As a survivor, she assists women living with abuse by empowering and teaching them how to get out, heal, and build a life they’ve always imagined. Jillian was on a committee where she and her colleagues triumphed, passing Bill 492, allowing victims of Childhood Sexual Abuse to have their day in court against their perpetrators. Her dream is to have all states follow the new trend of eliminating the Statute of Limitations for Childhood Survivors. Energetic and involved in speaking and outreach, Jillian continues striving for people in situations of domestic violence to get out safely. She also has been working with victims of the Boy Scouts of America, Human Trafficking, and those who need to escape, but empower them to pursue the life they’d always imagined. Healing, listening, and providing tools are her expertise.

https://www.snapnetwork.org/rally_for_texas_statute_of_limitations_reform Working with SNAP (Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests), they have announced how they are supporting HB 206, filed by Rep. Ann Johnson.

“It is time for Texas to update it laws so that survivors can file a lawsuit no matter how long ago the abuse took place, and no matter how old the survivor is. The time is up for Texas to catch up with 24 other states that have retroactive or revival legislation. We demand zero tolerance for child abusers that continue to find their way into schools, churches, camps and anywhere our children have the right to be safe from sexual abuse.

We support HB 2061, filed by Rep. Ann Johnson, as it gives us a glimpse of hope that our laws are moving towards a survivor-centered and trauma-informed landscape. Laws that are retroactive, reviving previously expired SOLs, will allow survivors of child sexual abuse(CSA) to take legal action against predators, and the institutions who enabled them. Civil litigation exposes hidden predators, an important point with statistics revealing that 70% of child predators have between 1 and 9 victims, and 20% have 10-40 victims.

EP108: Gasping for Air, The Stranglehold of Narcissistic Abuse Dana Diaz Survivor Story

Mon, 06 Nov 2023 10:06:56 +0000

Dana S. Diaz studied journalism and psychology at DePaul University. While there’s no better teacher than life experience and Dana has had life-long experiences with narcissistic abuse, her education did give her the ability to accurately verbalize and express how narcissistic abuse creates confusion and conflict within victims. Today, Dana is a proud voice for fellow victims who are unable, afraid, or ashamed to share their experiences.
