The Wellness Revolution Podcast with Amber Shaw Operation Podcast

Let’s be honest. Acne sucks and discovering skincare solutions that work for your unique skin can be an emotional trial and error process. Luckily, I know some women who are creating science-based clear skin solutions for people of all ages.
Today on The Wellness Revolution, I’m joined by Danielle Gronich, Co-Founder, CEO, and Formulation Expert at CLEARSTEM Skincare, the only toxin-free skincare line that targets both acne and aging at the same time.
Danielle became known as The Acne Guru™ when she founded The San Diego Acne Clinic in 2013. After dealing with acne for ten years and undergoing three failed rounds of Accutane, she took her skin health into her own hands, diving into the clinical research as a Licensed Clinical Esthetician. Since then, she’s achieved a 98% success rate in clearing patients' hormonal and cystic acne.
 “Think of [skincare] like exercise and nutrition. In order to look great, you’ve got to figure out both… Exercise is your exfoliation and nutrition is your actives, like bakuchiol and peptides, plant stem cells, vitamin C, and things like that.” – Danielle Gronich

Healing trauma and childhood wounds doesn’t have to be a complicated process filled with pain and negativity. There are ways you can heal your wounds while also feeling strong, empowered, and filled with love and connection.
In this episode of The Wellness Revolution, you’ll learn these methods from Stefanos Sifandos, a trained educator and relationship expert with an extensive background in behavioral science. Stefanos helps men and women heal unresolved trauma and childhood wounds, escape negative patterns, and cultivate a positive sense of self. He helps people restructure and re-frame their relationships with themselves and their loved ones, leading them closer to each other and to their highest potential.
Today, Stefanos and I are talking about how to use breathwork to heal your trauma and connect with your sense of self. We touch on concepts like self-worth, love and trust, parent/child relationships, self-acceptance, the science behind breathwork, connecting to your inner child, and more.
This is an incredibly moving discussion that highlights the immense value of doing the inner work, no matter how difficult and daunting it seems.
Let this be your reminder that you can do (and heal) anything you put your mind to, mama. ❤
“Do not compare your trauma because trauma is less about the experience itself (of course that matters) and it’s more about the way our constitution, our nervous system, our psychology, our predisposition, our personality, everything that is us interprets that experience and the intensity of that experience.” – Stefanos Sifandos
Key Highlights:
Stefanos’ childhood wounds & How they impacted his adulthood Why women struggle to say no How to start recognizing and healing patterns of behavior related to trauma Common signs of childhood trauma and unhealed wounds The do’s and don’ts of healing trauma (based on behavioral science) What is “breathwork for the feminine”? What happens to your body during breathwork & Why breathwork is such a powerful healing modality The importance of closing the trauma loop physiologically before going to talk therapy Helpful ways to connect to your inner child Why you don’t need to relive your trauma to heal it Episode Resources:

I never imagined that sharing my darkest hours—those moments struggling with divorce, substance abuse, and loneliness—would resonate with so many listeners. It's through these candid conversations with women across the globe that we crack open the door to understanding resilience and inner growth. This episode is all about that raw journey, grounded in the powerful stories of struggle and strength amidst the chaotic "dumpster fire" of challenges we face. With reflections on my past struggles, this episode is a testament to the strength found in resilience and the tenacity to seek help and persist against the odds.
Together, we navigate the transformative act of fostering resilience, not as an inherent trait, but as a skill meticulously carved from experiences that shape us. The mirror becomes our stage, where daily affirmations of "yes, I can" shatter the chains of limiting beliefs. I discuss the importance of confronting the negative narratives that can consume our thoughts and the relentless determination to stand back up, no matter how many times life knocks you down. This episode is your motivational push, encouraging you to continue ahead with determination and a spirit of self-compassion.

“We can throw all the probiotics at it that we want, we can throw all the anti-microbials that we want, but if we’re not really working on supporting our nervous system and getting out of that fight or flight state, we’re not setting ourselves up for success.” – Hannah Aylward
