In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott opens up about her extraordinary journey of healing after enduring an abusive marriage and the devastating revenge suicide of her husband on the very day she asked for a divorce. With over 35 years of clinical experience specializing in trauma recovery, Shavaun brings a unique blend of professional insight and personal experience to the conversation.

She shares how the trauma from her past continued to impact her mind, body, and spirit — and how she navigated the complex grief, shock, and emotional upheaval that followed. Shavaun discusses the vital role that compassionate therapy, a strong support network of friends, and self-compassion played in her path to rebuilding a fulfilling life.

Her latest memoir, Nightbird: A Memoir, offers an unflinching look at the aftermath of abuse and loss, shining a light on the challenges and hope found in recovery. Whether you are healing from trauma, abuse, or loss, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable wisdom on resilience, reclaiming your story, and moving forward with courage and grace.

In this powerful episode, Tena Cacic — teacher, writer, scientist, and transformational guide — shares her deeply personal journey of breaking free from the victim mentality. After years of emotional chaos in her relationships and reaching a breaking point, Tena realized that staying in victimhood was a choice she no longer wanted to make.

She dives into the emotional and energetic patterns that keep people stuck in trauma, how to release the intensity of those feelings through the body, and the role of self-directed compassion in healing. Tena introduces the concept of the “victim game” — with its roles of victim, rescuer, and persecutor — and explains how awareness and vibrational alignment can create true emotional freedom.

If you’ve ever felt trapped by your past or overwhelmed by your emotions, this conversation offers both inspiration and practical wisdom for reclaiming your power.

If you’ve ever found yourself staring at the ceiling at 2 a.m., overthinking everything from your to-do list to childhood trauma—you are not alone. In this episode, we dive into how sleep is impacted by stress, dysregulated nervous systems, and healing journeys—especially for adult children of dysfunction.

But instead of chasing perfect sleep, what if you could rebuild a healthy relationship with rest? No pressure. No pills. Just small, powerful shifts.

In this episode, I share 10 natural and science-backed ways to improve your sleep, even if your patterns have changed over the years. Whether you're struggling with falling asleep, staying asleep, or simply waking up exhausted—these tools are meant to support your healing body, mind, and spirit.

✨ Here are the 10 Sleep Tips Covered in This Episode:

1. Get Morning Sunlight :Natural light exposure early in the day resets your circadian rhythm and helps regulate melatonin production later.
2. Avoid Heavy Meals Late at Night : Eating too close to bedtime can activate digestion and interfere with restful sleep. Aim to eat 2–3 hours before bed.
3. Sip Chamomile Tea This calming herb contains apigenin, which promotes relaxation and reduces anxiety.
4. Use Lavender Essential Oil Lavender lowers your heart rate and eases the nervous system. Diffuse it or add a few drops to your pillow.
5. Practice Yoga Nidra or Guided Meditation These techniques bring your brain into deep rest and calm racing thoughts.
6. Avoid Caffeine After 2pm Caffeine can stay in your system for hours and block the sleep chemical adenosine. Switch to herbal teas or decaf later in the day.
7. Balance Blood Sugar Throughout the Day Stable blood sugar prevents cortisol spikes that can wake you up in the night. Eat meals with protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
8. Limit Alcohol Though it may make you sleepy, alcohol disrupts REM sleep and can cause fragmented rest.
9. Journal Before Bed Releasing your thoughts onto paper helps quiet the mind and signal safety to your nervous system.
10. Create a Sleep Sanctuary Cool, dark, and calm spaces help your brain relax into sleep. Think blackout curtains, minimal clutter, and no screens.

Your sleep doesn't need to be perfect. It just needs to be yours. Let go of the pressure to get 8 hours every night. Instead, focus on building rhythms that work for you—ones that feel safe, supported, and soothing.

What happens to a child’s nervous system when they grow up in a household filled with chaos, addiction, and emotional unpredictability? For Wendy Johnston, the answer was anxiety, hypervigilance, and a deep disconnection from her own body.

In this episode, I’m joined by Wendy Johnston—certified NLP Practitioner, Life Coach, aromatherapist, yoga and meditation teacher, sound bath facilitator, and founder of BREATHE + CALM in Nashville. Wendy is also an Adult Child of an Alcoholic (ACOA) and the firstborn of four children raised in a home where both parents battled addiction. Her early life was shaped by survival mode… but her healing has become her mission.

Together, we explore how growing up in a dysfunctional family affects the nervous system, particularly through the lens of interoception—the body’s ability to sense its internal state—and how adult children of alcoholics can begin to retrain their bodies to feel safe, soothed, and grounded.

Wendy shares:

💡 What interoception is and how it’s disrupted in ACOAs

🌱 Small, daily actions that build a felt sense of safety

💬 How recognizing ACOA traits like hypervigilance, shame, and self-doubt can be the first step toward self-compassion

🌿 How aromatherapy, breathwork, and sound healing became her path to peace

🧘🏽‍♀️ Practical tools and rituals for managing symptoms and creating nervous system regulation

This episode is not just informative—it’s a breath of fresh air for anyone feeling stuck in the patterns of their past. Wendy’s gentle, grounded energy reminds us that healing is not only possible—it’s available in the moment-to-moment choices we make to come back to ourselves.

If you’ve ever felt like your nervous system is stuck on “high alert,” or like relaxation is something you have to earn—this conversation is for you.

What happens when the unimaginable becomes your reality—twice?

In this powerful and soul-stirring episode, I sit down with KD Wagner, a Gold Star Mother, speaker, author, and survivor of unthinkable tragedy. KD lost both of her sons—one to murder at just 18 years old, and the other while serving in the U.S. Navy during Operation Iraqi Freedom. Her story is one of devastating loss, relentless grief, addiction, and ultimately, extraordinary resilience.

But KD's journey didn’t end in darkness—it transformed into a mission of purpose and healing. She shares how she moved through the depths of despair, including moments where life felt unbearable, and how she came back from the edge with a powerful message:

Today, KD Wagner serves as the President of the Florida Gulf Coast Chapter of American Gold Star Mothers Inc., raising awareness and advocating for veterans and their families in honor of her sons, Jeffrey and Bud. She’s spoken around the globe, appeared on major networks, and continues to inspire with her raw truth and unwavering strength.

📘 Her book BUD: A Homicide Turns a Blue Star Gold tells the heart-wrenching and heroic story of her son’s service and ultimate sacrifice.

She is also the author of the trilogy The Next Day Came, which shares her powerful journey through grief, addiction, and the road back to life.

✨ Whether you're grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply in need of a reminder that healing is possible, this episode is for you.

In this powerful and insightful episode, we're joined by Shannyn Schroeder, teacher, writer, mom of three neurodivergent kids, and the founder of EF Bomb Coach. After navigating the challenges of raising her children, Shannyn became an executive function coach—but not just for kids. She created EF Bomb Coach specifically to support neurodivergent women—especially those diagnosed later in life—who suddenly find themselves wondering: Now what?

Shannyn breaks down how executive dysfunction shows up in real life (hint: it’s not laziness), why traditional productivity systems often fail neurodivergent brains, and how to create systems that actually work for you. Her mission is to make support and strategies accessible, practical, and rooted in self-acceptance—not shame.
