    From Rejection to Resilience: Craig Conway on Identity, Intuition & Finding Your Part to Play

    In this episode of the Victim to Victor Podcast, I’m joined by British actor, producer, and director Craig Conway, whose career across film, television, and independent cinema has been shaped by both creative passion and personal resilience. Known for his grounded performances and commitment to complex human stories, Craig shares the deeper realities of life inside the acting industry - where rejection, uncertainty, and constant evaluation can challenge even the strongest sense of self. We explore how early parenting and emotional conditioning shaped Craig’s relationship with authority, confidence, and worth, and how those patterns later played out in the highly competitive world of acting. Craig also reflects on a recent experience navigating industry “sharks,” and how it sharpened his awareness of fear, intuition, and personal boundaries — lessons that extend far beyond the film world. Alongside his acting career, Craig is also the founder of A Part to Play, a community dedicated to honest conversations around creativity, personal responsibility, and the roles we choose to embody in our lives. This conversation dives into the psychology of rejection, the power of self-reflection, and what it means to step into your role consciously - both on and off the screen. In this episode we discuss: • How early parenting influences confidence and identity • The psychological impact of rejection in creative careers • Separating self-worth from external outcomes • Navigating power dynamics and “industry sharks” • The role of intuition, discernment, and boundaries • Why every person has “a part to play” in their own story • Building resilience and self-trust in uncertain industries 🔗 Connect with Craig Conway: https://www.instagram.com/conwaysinsta/ https://www.instagram.com/conwaydirects/ A Part to Play Community: https://www.skool.com/a-part-to-play IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1069800/ Send a text Support the show Connect with me: Take the diagnostic tool kit to stop repeating patterns in your relationships: https://victim2victor.net/the-chemistry-trap/ Book a call with me: http://calendly.com/v2vhealingjourney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victim2victor_anuverma/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anuvermav2v Access all resources: https://linktr.ee/healing.journeyy

    The Co-Healing Method: Why Healing Was Never Meant to Be Done Alone

    What if healing isn’t about fixing yourself… but remembering how to be with yourself - together? Join Rachel Babaganov, Bachelor of Nursing, Master of Public Health, Certified Wim Hof Method Instructor, and creator of the Co-Healing Method™, for a free live webinar exploring a radically different approach to healing - one rooted in connection, nervous system safety, and embodied self-trust. After years working in health and wellness, Rachel witnessed firsthand how modern medicine often treats symptoms while overlooking the deeper emotional, relational, and spiritual roots of burnout, disconnection, and chronic stress - especially for women. The Co-Healing Method™ was born from this gap. In this webinar, Rachel will share how healing was never meant to be a solo journey, and why true transformation happens most powerfully in safe, supported, co-regulated spaces. You’ll explore: • Why isolation keeps us stuck and connection helps us heal • What happens in the nervous system when we heal alongside others • The role of emotional hygiene in everyday wellbeing • How slowing down becomes medicine • Feeling vs. bypassing emotions • Triggers as doorways for growth • Gentle re-parenting and inner child support • Reconnecting with the Inner Wild Woman - your intuitive, authentic self This is a soft, grounded invitation to stop carrying everything alone and begin relating to yourself with more compassion, presence, and support. ✨ This webinar is for women who feel burned out, disconnected, overwhelmed, or quietly longing for something more—but aren’t sure where to start. 🔗 Register here: https://www.cohealing.space/women 🌬 Free Weekly Breathwork & Co-Healing Space Rachel also hosts a free weekly breathwork and co-healing session for women who want a gentle, consistent space to regulate their nervous system, reconnect with their body, and feel supported. 🔗 Learn more: www.rachelbabaganov.com Send a text Support the show Connect with me: Take the diagnostic tool kit to stop repeating patterns in your relationships: https://victim2victor.net/the-chemistry-trap/ Book a call with me: http://calendly.com/v2vhealingjourney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victim2victor_anuverma/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anuvermav2v Access all resources: https://linktr.ee/healing.journeyy

    Your Body Is Speaking: Cyclical Wisdom, Fertility Awareness & Reclaiming Trust with Emma Goff

    What if your menstrual cycle wasn’t something to manage or fix - but a language to learn? In this episode, I’m joined by Emma Goff, fertility awareness educator, miscarriage and bereavement doula, certified SymptoPro instructor, and founder of Emmamma, a body literacy and cyclical wellness education platform. As Your Cyclical Doula, Emma supports women in understanding their bodies’ natural rhythms from menarche through menopause, helping them decode fertility signals, hormonal patterns, and emotional shifts with curiosity and compassion. We explore how learning to chart and interpret the body’s signs can become a powerful pathway to self-trust, emotional healing, and embodied empowerment. Emma shares how her work with fertility, miscarriage, postpartum experiences, and reproductive health has deepened her understanding of grief, resilience, and the nervous system’s role in cyclical wellbeing. This conversation gently challenges the cultural narratives that frame women’s bodies as unpredictable or broken - and offers a new lens: one where the body is wise, responsive, and worthy of being listened to. In this episode, we discuss: • Body literacy as a foundation for empowerment • How cycles reflect emotional and nervous system patterns • The impact of reproductive loss and how to support healing • Rebuilding trust after medical dismissal or trauma • Cyclical living as a mindset shift, not a rulebook • Using fertility awareness beyond pregnancy prevention • Simple ways to begin reconnecting with your body’s wisdom If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body, confused by your cycle, or curious about what it means to live in rhythm with yourself, this episode is for you. 🎧 Learn more about Emma Goff & Emmamma: https://emmamma.com/ https://www.instagram.com/cyclicaldoula/ Send a text Support the show Connect with me: Take the diagnostic tool kit to stop repeating patterns in your relationships: https://victim2victor.net/the-chemistry-trap/ Book a call with me: http://calendly.com/v2vhealingjourney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victim2victor_anuverma/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anuvermav2v Access all resources: https://linktr.ee/healing.journeyy

    When Symptoms Speak: Root-Cause Healing, Body Wisdom & Reclaiming Your Health

    What if your symptoms aren’t betraying you - but trying to guide you? In this episode, I’m joined by Kristin-Grayce McGary, internationally recognized health and lifestyle alchemist, author, and speaker with nearly 30 years of experience helping people heal at the root level. Kristin bridges functional medicine with mind-body-spirit integration, offering a compassionate and practical approach to chronic illness, autoimmunity, thyroid and gut health, and emotional healing. We explore why so many people feel dismissed or confused within conventional healthcare, how emotional patterns and unresolved stress show up in the body, and what it actually means to listen to symptoms instead of fighting them. Kristin shares how functional blood chemistry, intuitive insight, nutrition, plant medicine, and soul care work together to support deep, lasting healing—not just temporary relief. This conversation is about shifting from fixing yourself to partnering with your body, and learning to trust the intelligence that’s been speaking all along. In this episode, we discuss: • Why symptoms are messages, not problems • The emotional roots of chronic illness and autoimmunity • What functional blood chemistry reveals that standard labs often miss • Gut and thyroid health as foundations for healing • Rebuilding trust with your body after years of frustration • The difference between restriction and restoration • How intuition and soul care support physical health If you’re tired of chasing protocols and want a more grounded, compassionate path to wellness, this episode will meet you exactly where you are. 🌐 Learn more about Kristin-Grayce McGary: https://kristingraycemcgary.com Send a text Support the show Connect with me: Take the diagnostic tool kit to stop repeating patterns in your relationships: https://victim2victor.net/the-chemistry-trap/ Book a call with me: http://calendly.com/v2vhealingjourney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victim2victor_anuverma/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anuvermav2v Access all resources: https://linktr.ee/healing.journeyy

    Healing the Brain, Finding Your Voice & Building a Life That Reflects You

    What if healing isn’t about becoming someone new - but remembering who you were before life taught you to hide? In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Shafer - neurologist, Jay Shetty–certified life coach, author, publisher, and host of Talks with Dr. Shafer - for a grounded, honest conversation about reclaiming your story and consciously building a future that reflects who you truly are. Dr. Shafer shares her non-linear journey from musician to physician, and how creativity, neuroscience, and self-awareness intersect in real healing. We explore how identity shapes the brain, why so many people feel stuck in outdated narratives, and what it actually takes to move from survival into self-trust. We also dive into her advocacy work supporting survivors of domestic abuse and intimate partner violence through We Don’t Tell Our Stories, and why community, voice, and storytelling are essential parts of recovery. In this conversation, we explore: • What “reclaiming your story” looks like in real life • How the brain responds when we release shame and rewrite identity • The role of creativity in healing and growth • Why self-awareness is the foundation of transformation • Empowering young voices through storytelling • Healing beyond silence after domestic abuse • Building purpose-driven work without burning out This episode is an invitation to step out of who you were told to be - and into who you actually are. 🌐 Learn more about Dr. Shafer: https://www.instagram.com/talks_with_dr_shafer/ https://drshaferstedronova.com/ Send a text Support the show Connect with me: Take the diagnostic tool kit to stop repeating patterns in your relationships: https://victim2victor.net/the-chemistry-trap/ Book a call with me: http://calendly.com/v2vhealingjourney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victim2victor_anuverma/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anuvermav2v Access all resources: https://linktr.ee/healing.journeyy

    Healing Without Reliving: Releasing Trauma at the Subconscious Level

    What if healing didn’t require reliving your worst moments - or talking about them for years? In this episode, I’m joined by Mary Petto, Vibrational Energy Coach, creator of Rapid Turmoil Resolution™, and author of The Family Guide to the Law of Attraction. Mary helps high-functioning, emotionally aware people release trauma, anxiety, grief, and shame at the subconscious level - often in a single 90-minute session. A former corporate executive at Merrill Lynch and DLJ Asset Management, Mary understands the pressure of looking successful on the outside while quietly unraveling on the inside. Her work bridges neuroscience, subconscious rewiring, and vibrational energy to clear emotional residue at its root—without retraumatization or endless processing. In this conversation, Mary explains why talk therapy can sometimes keep people looping, how the subconscious stores unresolved emotion, and what happens when healing finally reaches the place where pain actually lives. We also explore the myth of “I’m fine,” why so many capable people still feel stuck, and what freedom feels like once emotional weight is truly released. In this episode, we explore: Why healing doesn’t have to mean reliving traumaHow the subconscious holds emotional pain - and how to release itWhat actually happens during a Rapid Turmoil Resolution™ sessionWhy high-achievers often feel “fine” but not freeThe science and energetics behind rapid emotional shiftsWhat clarity, peace, and freedom feel like after emotional residue clearsThis episode is for anyone who’s done the work, gained the insight, and still feels stuck - and is ready for healing that goes deeper than words.

    The Unseen Child: Reclaiming Self After Early Emotional Neglect

    Some wounds form before language, before memory - yet they shape how we relate, love, and see ourselves for a lifetime. In this deeply introspective episode, I’m joined by Dawn Nelson, author of Bone by Bone: Healing the Emotional Wounds of Preverbal and Childhood Abuse. Through raw, courageous storytelling, Dawn invites us into the hidden layers of early trauma - especially emotional neglect in infancy - and how its imprint lives in the body long after the mind has forgotten. Dawn shares her personal journey of uncovering the truth about her early life, including the moment she discovered legal records that confirmed what her body had always known. We explore the paradox of grief and relief, the creation of the “false self” as a survival strategy, and how compassion - for both self and parents - can exist alongside truth. This conversation is not about blame or reliving pain. It’s about reclamation - learning to reparent the parts of ourselves that were unseen, unheard, and unmet, and discovering that healing doesn’t require perfect memories - only honesty, presence, and care. In this episode, we explore: How preverbal trauma and emotional neglect shape adult identityWhy emotional wounds can exist without conscious memoryThe body’s role in holding early traumaDismantling the false self and reconnecting with the “unmothered” childHolding truth and compassion at the same timeWhat healing looks like when it becomes a lifelong return to selfThis episode is a gentle yet powerful invitation to look inward, honor your earliest experiences, and remember: it’s never too late to tend to the child within. 🔗 Links & Resources 🌐 Website: www.fromtheheart-hands.com 📘 Bone by Bone by Dawn Nelson: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dawn-Nelson/author/B001K7PSR2 Send a text Support the show Connect with me: Take the diagnostic tool kit to stop repeating patterns in your relationships: https://victim2victor.net/the-chemistry-trap/ Book a call with me: http://calendly.com/v2vhealingjourney Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/victim2victor_anuverma/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anuvermav2v Access all resources: https://linktr.ee/healing.journeyy

    From Survival Mode to CellCare: Healing Burnout at the Cellular Level

    What if burnout isn’t just mental or emotional - but happening at a cellular level? In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Monisha Bhanote, a 5x board-certified physician, best-selling author of The Anatomy of Wellbeing, and founder of the WELLKULÅ Institute, to explore what true health and longevity actually require - beyond hacks, supplements, and surface-level wellness trends. Dr. Bhanote introduces her signature philosophy, CellCare, explaining how chronic stress, trauma, poor sleep, and lifestyle overload leave our cells stuck in survival mode. We unpack how this shows up as fatigue, brain fog, gut issues, anxiety, inflammation, and burnout - even in people who “look fine” on the outside. Drawing from neuroscience, gut-brain biology, Ayurveda’s five koshas (layers of the body), and her own lived experience recovering from a traumatic brain injury, Dr. Bhanote reframes healing as a process of regulation, ritual, and cellular alignment - not optimization or extremes. We also discuss: Why longevity starts with emotional and nervous system safetyHow the gut, brain, and vagus nerve shape energy, mood, and resilienceThe difference between habits and rituals—and why rituals actually healCommon mistakes with supplements, diets, and biohackingWhy calm is one of the most powerful longevity tools we haveWhat it truly means to “listen” to your body’s intelligenceThis episode is an invitation to slow down, tune in, and rebuild health from the inside out - starting at the cellular level. ✨ If you’re exhausted from trying to do more to feel better, this conversation will change how you think about healing.
