    From Childhood Trauma to Empowered Author

    Send us a text Dear adult child,  I hope you enjoy my recent conversation with the author of the best selling book "My Pretty Baby" Wendy Correa. My Pretty Baby is a transformative memoir that chronicles Wendy Correa’s journey to heal from childhood traumas, including the death of her father when she was seven, emotionally distant older siblings, a frequently neglectful mother, and an adventurous yet violent, alcoholic stepfather. It is a story of not belonging, and the eventual healing that comes from building a chosen family. After escaping her turbulent home life, Wendy’s path of self-discovery takes her through Buddhism, meditation, plant medicine, yoga, nature, Native American spirituality, 12-Step programs, and psychotherapy. Native American sweat lodge and vision quest ceremonies further strengthen her sobriety and mental well-being. We also spoke about her life in the music industry and the life changing moment that changed how she saw herself after meeting Joni Mitchell and how she was able to turn her life around and seek the help she needed by choosing to live differently than her family. I hope this episode inspires you to do the inner work and take your life back!

    How Re-Parenting Your Five-Year-Old Inner Child Breaks Generational Trauma Patterns

    Send us a text In this episode of Healing Mindset, I had the opportunity to sit down with Nazish and take a deep dive into one of the most mission-critical conversations of our time: re-parenting the five-year-old inner child. This is the age where so many of our emotional blueprints take shape—our early coding around love, safety, belonging, expression, and visibility. I unpack how emotional imprints are formed not just in childhood, but as early as the womb. These imprints quietly drive adult behaviors—jealousy, anxiety, people-pleasing, overachieving, emotional shutdowns—and most of the time, they’re not “adult issues” at all. They’re the unspoken needs of a silenced inner child asking to be seen, held, and led. During this conversation, I share practical, energetically aligned ways to recognize your inner child’s signals and how to respond without re-opening old wounds. Re-parenting isn’t about fault-finding—it’s about stepping into emotional leadership. It’s about becoming the deeply present, regulated, and compassionate parent your five-year-old self needed so you no longer outsource your worth to relationships, family dynamics, or performance. If you feel blocked, disconnected from joy, or stuck replaying the same relationship patterns, this dialogue gives you grounded frameworks you can deploy across your life—work, love, family, and self-worth. You’ll walk away with a forward-looking roadmap for nervous system safety, trauma repair, and authentic self-connection that enables not just personal healing but generational transformation. About Me: I’m an intuitive empath, healer, and spiritual teacher dedicated to supporting “adult children” who never had the chance to fully recover from early emotional injuries. My work centers on inner child healing, generational trauma release, and energetic re-patterning. Through live transmissions, energy work, and guided inner journeys, I help individuals reconnect with their five-year-old self, reclaim their creativity, and build the internal safety they’ve long been missing. My core philosophy is simple: when you become the emotionally available parent you never had, everything in your life recalibrates—your relationships, your health, your leadership, and your joy. Key Takeaways: Inner child wounds are not trendy language—they are the foundational drivers behind recurring patterns in relationships, work, and self-worth.Your inner child speaks through triggers, shutdowns, and “childlike” emotional reactions. These are insights, not weaknesses.Re-parenting is an act of radical ownership—stepping into the role of your most emotionally present caregiver.Core emotional templates can begin forming in the womb. A mother’s internal world often becomes the child’s first nervous system environment.Healing doesn’t require reliving trauma.

    How Inner Child Healing Can Break Generational Trauma | Break Generational Trauma

    Send us a text In this deeply personal episode, I open up about my journey as an Inner Child Healer—and how I help people recognize and mend the emotional wounds that often begin in childhood but quietly shape our adult lives.

In this conversation, I share:  • How unhealed childhood wounds show up in our behavior and relationships  • Why denial can keep us stuck in unspoken pain  • The role of a safe, nurturing home in emotional healing  • How awareness and compassion can break generational cycles  • Simple steps you can take to start reconnecting with your inner child today My message is simple yet profound: Healing yourself isn’t selfish—it’s how we stop passing pain forward. Join me in this episode to understand your inner child, heal your past, and begin creating a kinder, more conscious future.  You can also connect with me on Instagram for healing sessions and daily reflections.

    How to Calm, Soothe, and Rewire Your Nervous System for Lasting Peace with Vandana Atara Noorah

    Send us a text I was so grateful to join Shreya on The Soul Mirror for a transformative conversation on healing trauma and restoring balance to the nervous system. Together we explored how trauma—both personal and ancestral—shapes the way we feel and respond to life, and why real healing must include the body as much as the mind and spirit. I shared how unresolved emotional wounds can begin even before birth, how generational imprints affect our well-being, and why somatic practices are essential for releasing trauma stored in the body. We also discussed the risks of spiritual bypassing—using only “high-vibration” states to avoid emotional work—and the importance of integrating spiritual guidance with grounded, embodied practices. During the episode, I offered a simple self-soothing ritual you can use anytime, anywhere, to bring your nervous system back into balance. Whether you struggle with anxiety, insomnia, or emotional overwhelm, these tools can help you return to calm, compassion, and grounded presence in just a few minutes. This dialogue is an invitation to remember that healing is not about blame—it’s about awareness, acceptance, and finding the right support so we can live with greater peace, self-acceptance, and authenticity.

    Raising Vibrations with Galactic Guidance: Healing Beyond the Earthly Realm with Sana & Vandana Atara Noorah

    Send us a text I joined Sana on Cosmic Confluence for a deep and expansive conversation on healing beyond the physical world. In this episode, I share how connecting with galactic guides, star ancestors, and higher-dimensional beings can support trauma release, ancestral healing, and the reclamation of authentic power. We explore how unseen allies and cosmic energies can guide us through life challenges, help us break free from old cycles, and reconnect us with our soul gifts. Throughout our dialogue, I highlight why discernment is so important on the spiritual path—how to recognize the difference between supportive guidance and false light influences, and how asking clear, empowered questions of your spirit guides can shape the quality of the answers you receive. We also discuss why inner work must come first before seeking higher wisdom, so we don’t bypass the very lessons that anchor us in self-trust and true empowerment. Practical tools are woven into the conversation, from meditation and breathwork to synchronicities and vibrational alignment. We talk about simple but powerful ways to raise your vibration every day—through kindness to yourself, creating safe energetic boundaries, choosing compassionate community, and surrounding yourself with supportive, like-minded souls. As an empath and healer, I share insights on protecting your energy field, clearing trauma imprints, and learning to align with your higher self without absorbing the pain of others. This episode invites listeners to embrace both healthy skepticism and open-hearted curiosity. It explores how dreams, intuitive downloads, and repeated synchronicities can serve as validation for spiritual connections, and how galactic guides such as the Arcturians reflect higher aspects of who we truly are. Rather than creating dependency, true guidance strengthens your capacity to trust yourself, align with higher frequencies, and embody your authentic light. If you’ve ever wondered whether unseen helpers exist, how to protect your energy, or how to raise your vibration while staying grounded, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable steps. It’s a reminder that spiritual awakening is not about escaping life but about engaging it more fully—with clarity, discernment, and the support of cosmic allies who walk with us on the journey home.
