The Awakened Heart: A Podcast for Healing Women is a safe space for trauma survivors and neurodivergent women ready to claim their voice, soften into their truth and feel at home with themselves. I’m Autumn Moran, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), certified Life Coach, and 500-hour trained yoga instructor who understands this journey intimately as a neurodivergent woman, trauma survivor and as a therapist and life coach.  Each week, I offer soulful episodes where I intertwine my lived experiences with insights from my therapy practice all with the goal to help women unmask and find peace in their lives by healing trauma and learning how to accommodate their neurodivergence. Through real talk, mindfulness practices, and gentle healing approaches rooted in trauma-informed wisdom and nervous system care, you’ll find practical tools to help you feel safe in your body, seen in your story and supported in your journey. This is your sanctuary to soften, heal, and remember that you were and are never too much.  Work with me: Click the link to schedule a free 15 minute consultation. http://linktr.ee/EmpoweringWellnessHub

    If January Didn’t Work, Try This Spring Reset Instead

    We celebrate spring as a more natural “new year” and name why January resolutions often collapse under pressure, shame, and winter biology. We shift into a nervous-system-first way to set goals using seeds, small experiments, supportive environments, and a short somatic exercise to help you feel what seeds you want to plant this season.  • spring equinox as a timing reset for change  • winter as a season for rest and conservation  • nervous system shifts with daylight and circadian rhythm  • seeds over resolutions for gentler growth  • experiments and curiosity instead of all-or-nothing thinking  • small repeated actions that build regulation and confidence  Ready for Deeper Support?
