What if your healing story could become the very thing that helps others heal?

In this episode of Live Brighter with Tara, Tara sits down with Heather Hughes—co-developer of the Splankna Therapy Institute—to share her journey from childhood trauma to deep emotional and physical healing.

Together, they explore how trauma can impact both the mind and body, why traditional talk therapy doesn't always reach the root, and how healing can happen through a deeper connection between faith and the healing process.

This conversation covers:

• Childhood trauma and its lasting impact
• Healing beyond traditional talk therapy
• Faith, identity, and personal transformation
• Why healing happens one step at a time

If you've ever felt stuck despite doing "all the right work," this episode offers a thoughtful perspective on healing, growth, and transformation.

What if healing requires going deeper than conscious thought alone?

In this episode of Live Brighter with Tara, Tara sits down with Sarah Thiessen—licensed therapist, founder of the Splankna Training Institute, and author of Splankna: The Redemption of Energy Healing for the Kingdom of God.

Sarah shares her journey from skepticism to developing a Christian mind-body healing protocol designed to help address trauma, emotional wounds, and subconscious patterns that traditional talk therapy may not fully resolve.

Together, they explore faith, trauma healing, spiritual discernment, and the deeper roots of emotional pain through the lens of Sarah's personal and professional experience.

What if the ways you've learned to love others… have come at the cost of abandoning yourself?

In this episode of Live Brighter with Tara, I explore the concept of self-abandonment—what it looks like, how it shows up in our daily lives, and the quiet ways it impacts our emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being. We talk about the subtle patterns of self-abandonment, like prioritizing others' needs over your own, habitual self-sacrifice, and losing trust in your own voice. I share how these behaviors disconnect us from who we truly are—and why rebuilding self-trust is the foundation for real change.

This conversation also offers practical, empowering steps to begin choosing yourself again. From honoring your thoughts and feelings to making small, intentional decisions that support your future self, this episode is about returning to self-love in a grounded, sustainable way. ✨

An invitation to reconnect with yourself, rebuild self-trust, and live brighter from a place of alignment and authenticity.
