    S02 EP05 | Radical Honesty: The Foundation of Wholehearted Living

    Send us a text What if the thing keeping you stuck isn't what you don't know, but what you're pretending not to know? In this episode, we're diving into Stage 1 of the WholeHearted Technique: Radical Honesty. This is the foundation of all transformation, the ground upon which everything else is built. Because here's the truth: you cannot build an authentic life on a foundation of lies. For so long, you've been telling yourself stories. "I'm fine." "It's not that bad." "I can handle it." "They need me." "I'll rest later." But beneath those stories? There's a truth you've been avoiding. A truth about what's really happening in your life, your relationships, your body, your soul. Radical honesty is about getting brutally real with yourself, not to punish yourself, but to finally see clearly. It's about asking the questions you've been afraid to ask: This isn't about judgment. It's about liberation. Because the moment you stop lying to yourself is the moment you can start living as yourself.  In this episode, you'll discover: ✨ Why we lie to ourselves (spoiler: it's survival, not weakness) ✨ The cost of self-deception: burnout, resentment, disconnection ✨ The difference between radical honesty and brutal honesty (compassion is key) ✨ Powerful questions to help you name what's real ✨ The relief that comes when you finally stop pretending ✨ Journal prompts to guide you into radical self-honesty ✨ How honesty creates solid ground for transformation This episode is for you if: You're exhausted from performing your lifeYou know something needs to change but can't name whatYou're a people-pleaser who's lost touch with your own truthYou're burned out from saying yes when you mean noYou're ready to stop pretending and start beingThe truth will set you free. But first, you have to tell it. A Note from Debs: This episode might bring up some uncomfortable truths. That's okay. That's actually the point. Discomfort is often the doorway to transformation. If you're feeling resistance, that's normal.

    S02 EP06 | Your Body Keeps Score: Understanding Trauma Responses

    Send us a text What if the patterns keeping you stuck, the overworking, the people-pleasing, the numbing, the constant busyness, aren't character flaws, but intelligent survival strategies? In this episode, we're diving into Stage 2 of the WholeHearted Technique: Understanding Your Trauma Responses. This is where everything starts to make sense. Where you finally see why you react the way you do, why you can't seem to stop certain patterns, and why your nervous system feels stuck in survival mode. But this isn't just theory. This is deeply personal. In this episode, I'm sharing my own story of discovering the fawn response, something I was never taught in all my years of training as a counsellor. Because here's the truth: You can't outrun your trauma responses. You can only integrate them. In this episode, you'll discover: ✨ The four trauma responses and how to recognise yours ✨ Why your nervous system is stuck in survival mode ✨ How overworking, people-pleasing, numbing, and hypervigilance are trauma responses ✨ The fawn response—the one most therapists aren't taught ✨ Why recognising your patterns can activate the urge to run ✨ How to make aligned choices from love, not trauma reactions from fear ✨ Practical somatic practices to help your body finally feel safe ✨ How to complete the stress cycle and discharge stuck energy ✨ The difference between running away and running toward yourself This episode is for you if: You're exhausted from patterns you can't seem to breakYou recognise yourself as a people-pleaser, overworker, or perfectionistYou feel stuck in survival mode and don't know how to get outYou're feeling the urge to blow up your life and start overYou want to understand why you react the way you doYou're ready to help your nervous system know it's safeYour trauma responses kept you alive. They are not flaws. They are evidence of your resilience. But what once kept you safe is now keeping you stuck. And it's time to help your body know: You're safe now. You can choose differently.

    S02 EP10 | Choosing Self: Making Yourself as Important as Everyone Else

    Send us a text In this deeply personal and empowering episode of the WholeHearted Living Podcast, Debs Thorpe tackles one of the hardest challenges high-achieving visionaries face: choosing yourself when you have people depending on you. This isn't about bubble baths and saying no to coffee dates. This is about standing on a hard edge, when choosing your truth, your vision, your wholeness means risking everything you've built. Debs opens with a vulnerable story about buying a house in Italy: how she knew in her bones it was right, how her parents expressed concern, and how she had to come back to her knowing and choose herself anyway. This real-time example anchors the entire episode in lived experience, not theory. You'll discover: Why choosing yourself when the stakes are high is the hardest (and most necessary) practiceThe myth of selflessness and the real cost of putting yourself lastWhat it means to stand alone in your vision when others don't understand yetThe loneliness of being a visionary, and how to navigate itA powerful mantra: "What is best for me is best for everyone else" (and why it's not selfish)How choosing to move to Italy created ripples of good for everyone, not just DebsThe hard truth about outgrowing the life you builtPractical steps for choosing yourself when you have employees, family, and responsibilitiesWhat's on the other side of choosing yourself (spoiler: it's always worth it)This episode is Stage 6 of the WholeHearted Technique, the critical turning point where you stop abandoning yourself to keep others comfortable and start honouring your truth. Perfect for: Leaders, business owners, parents, visionaries, and high achievers who are standing on a hard edge right now, seeing a vision others don't see yet, feeling a pull others don't understand, and wondering if they're brave enough to choose themselves.

Here, we dismantle outdated paradigms of hustle, perfection, and “not enough”, and instead explore what it means to live, lead, and create from worthiness, belonging, and alignment with nature’s rhythms. From embodied self-worth to nervous system healing, from identity work to soul-led leadership, The Wholehearted Living Podcast invites you to pause, breathe, and return to the ground beneath all growth: you are already whole. New episodes every Thursday.  At the Wholehearted Living Podcast, our conversations don’t end here. To keep journeying together, visit www.whlinstitute.com to explore free resources, join our newsletter, or step into one of our programs.  And if you loved this episode, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review, it helps spread this movement of wholehearted living. With a heartful of gratitude, Debs
