    Episode 230: Beyond the Conscious Mind: Exploring Hypnosis, Healing & the Power of Connection

    What if some of the answers we've been searching for aren't found by thinking harder, but by learning to quiet the conscious mind and explore what's beneath the surface? In this episode of the Thrive & Aligned Healing Podcast, Kim and Carmen welcome special guest Elodie, a coach and certified hypnotherapy practitioner, for a fascinating conversation about hypnosis, the subconscious mind, and the possibilities of personal transformation. Elodie shares her journey from the corporate world of facts, figures, and expectations to discovering hypnosis through her own experience with a debilitating fear of snakes. What began as a personal search for freedom eventually became a deeper exploration of healing, self-awareness, and helping others navigate life's transitions. Together, they explore the difference between stage hypnosis and therapeutic hypnosis, how guided experiences can help people explore fears and limiting beliefs, and why feeling safe, supported, and connected is an important part of personal growth. The conversation also takes a beautiful turn toward authenticity, vulnerability, and the idea that healing isn't always about fixing or eliminating parts of ourselves. Sometimes it's about learning to accept, understand, and reconnect with those parts we've spent years resisting. If you've ever been curious about hypnosis, struggled with fear or the need for control, or felt disconnected from yourself during life's transitions, this episode invites you to explore what's possible when you approach healing with curiosity rather than judgment.

    EP 229: The Parts of You Aren’t the Problem: From Protection to Integration

    What if the parts of yourself you’ve been trying to fix, silence, or overcome were actually trying to protect you? In Episode 229 of the Thrive and Aligned Healing Podcast, Carmen and Kim explore “parts work” and the protective patterns we develop throughout our lives. Fear, control, the achiever, the rebel…these parts may not be flaws that need to disappear. They may have stepped into their roles because, at some point, we needed them. Kim shares a powerful exercise of imagining herself as the CEO and inviting these different parts to a board meeting. Instead of fighting them, she asks: What have you done for me? What role would you rather have? And what do you need from me to feel safe enough to take on that new role? We also begin exploring the connection between emotions and the physical body through the lens of Chinese medicine, including traditional associations between fear and the kidneys, anger and the liver, and grief and the lungs. Maybe healing isn’t always about getting rid of parts of ourselves. Maybe it’s about understanding why they showed up, thanking them for how they protected us, and helping them discover a new role.

    Episode 228: Stop Recoiling From Your Power: Emotional Authority, Healing & Self-Trust

    What happens when we stop running from our emotions…and start listening to what they have to teach us? In Episode 228 of the Thrive and Aligned Healing Podcast, Carmen and Kim welcome Sabrina Mabel, founder of the Emotional Alchemy Academy, for a raw and wide-ranging conversation about emotional authority, nervous system regulation, vulnerability, spirituality, leadership, and personal power. Together, we explore why so many women have learned to suppress emotion, lead from survival patterns, or search outside themselves for something or someone to make them feel safe and whole. We also talk about the difference between understanding our patterns intellectually and actually developing the capacity to feel, process, and move through emotion. The conversation moves between neuroscience and spirituality as we unpack childhood conditioning, high-achievement patterns, emotional safety, the nervous system, spiritual communities, boundaries, and the courage it can take to stop recoiling from your own power. One question rises to the surface again and again: What part of your power are you still afraid to fully own? This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about learning to trust yourself, honor your emotions, and become more fully who you already are. This episode includes discussion of trauma, sexual assault, suicidal ideation, psychiatric hospitalization, substance use, and spiritual experiences. Please listen with care. Sabrina is an Emotional Intelligence Coach with a Master of Education in Developmental Psychology, host of the Emotional Embrace Podcast and Reflector 6/2 by Human Design. Teacher by first career and now in her 7th year of entrepreneurship guiding women to alchemize their ancestral wounds into their medicine and message. She is the leader and founder of The Emotional Alchemy Academy. https://www.instagram.com/iamsabrinamabel/ Loved this episode?

    EP 227: You Are Not Your Patterns: Worthiness, Identity & the Subconscious.

    What if the patterns you’ve spent years trying to “fix” were never actually flaws in you? In Episode 227 of the Thrive and Aligned Healing Podcast, Carmen and Kim explore worthiness, identity, subconscious beliefs, and the patterns we develop early in life to feel safe, loved, and accepted. We start with a simple question: Why can we know exactly what we need to do for ourselves…and still struggle to follow through? From putting everyone else first to working harder to prove our worth, our behaviors may be connected to beliefs running quietly beneath the surface. And sometimes the biggest shift comes when we recognize that these behaviors aren’t necessarily who we are. They may be adaptations we learned along the way. We explore how these patterns can influence our health, relationships, success, and ability to receive something different for ourselves. Maybe the question isn’t, “What’s wrong with me?” Maybe it’s, “What did I learn to believe about myself…and is it still true?” Join us for a thoughtful conversation about separating your identity from your patterns and beginning to see yourself through a different lens.

    EP 226: Trauma, Healing & the Truth About Post-Traumatic Growth

    Does everything really happen "for a reason?" And is telling someone their trauma happened for them actually helpful... or can it unintentionally dismiss their experience? In this deeply thoughtful conversation, Kim and Carmen explore the difference between trauma, post-traumatic growth, and spiritual bypassing. They discuss how trauma is stored in the nervous system and body, why healing cannot be forced through positive thinking alone, and the importance of allowing each person to define their own journey. Together they unpack the balance between honoring pain without becoming trapped in it, while discovering what true empowerment and healing can look like. If you've ever struggled to reconcile painful experiences with messages like "everything happens for a reason," this episode offers a compassionate, nuanced perspective that honors both the reality of suffering and the possibility of growth without minimizing either one.

    Episode 225: Living Brave: The Small Decisions That Change Your Life

    What does it really mean to live bravely? Is courage reserved for life's biggest moments, or is it found in the quiet decisions we make every single day? In this heartfelt conversation, Kim and Carmen explore how fear, shame, social conditioning, and the expectations of others can quietly shape our lives without us even realizing it. They discuss the difference between reacting to suffering versus intentionally choosing courage, how our childhood programming influences the decisions we make as adults, and why true freedom comes from recognizing the patterns that no longer serve us. Together, they unpack the idea that bravery isn't about guaranteeing a positive outcome. It's about becoming the person you were created to be by choosing alignment over fear, one decision at a time. If you've ever felt stuck, questioned whether you're living authentically, or sensed there's a version of yourself waiting beneath years of expectations and conditioning, this episode will encourage you to trust your intuition, embrace the journey, and begin living with greater courage and intention.

    Episode 223: Are You Processing Your Emotions... or Replacing Them?

    What if positivity isn't always healing? In this episode of the Thrive & Aligned Healing Podcast, Kim and Carmen explore a subtle but life-changing distinction between processing emotions and replacing them. They unpack a common manifestation teaching that encourages us to "feel the emotion of the life you want," while asking an important question: What happens when we skip over the emotions we're already experiencing? Through an honest conversation about anxiety, overwhelm, nervous system regulation, and the body's emotional memory, they explore why emotional bypassing can leave us feeling exhausted and disconnected. You'll also experience a simple guided exercise for safely sitting with emotions, allowing them to move through the body instead of becoming stored patterns. If you've ever felt like you're trying so hard to stay positive while still feeling emotionally drained, this episode offers a compassionate and practical perspective on what real healing can look like.
