We discuss Seth's book, "Death Trip: A Post-Holocaust Psychedelic Memoir" that explores his marriage and his search for meaning in the wake of releasing the weight of ancestral trauma. This conversation will open your heart. We also discuss what it means to take responsibility of our own trauma before passing it down to our children. As well as words of inspiration of how to care for aging parents. Take a listen to the whole episode and share your thoughts with me here on Instagram @OneWade or send me an email here.

In today's solo episode, we are talking about anger. How to label it, feel it, heal it and release it.
Anger is an emotion we are not taught how to "healthily" process, especially as women! So today on the podcast, we break it down. I share my personal experience of processing anger as well as some scientific research on the power of visualizing expressing anger.

She enjoys working with couples and individuals. As a Couples and Family Therapist, her job is to help you decode your relationship, with yourself and one another. 

Today on the podcast, I discuss the gift of loving yourself without conditions. We are all imperfect beings, yet, we live life with all of these stories that we need to be perfect. Or beliefs: "I will be loveable when...". Accepting the gifts of our imperfections gives us freedom to be our authentic self. We get to live our lives from an empowered place because we love all aspects of ourselves.
