    From Plastic Surgeon to Singer: Jessica Lattman on Healing & Reinvention | Dr. Jessica Lattman EP 38

    What happens when the life you worked so hard to build is suddenly threatened by something you can’t control?For Jessica Lattman, a successful career as a surgeon, motherhood, and everything she had built began to unravel when she developed an autoimmune disease that threatened her vision, her career, her independence, and ultimately her sense of who she was. Faced with the possibility of losing the life she knew, Jessica was forced to confront a much deeper pain that had been living beneath the surface for years.That journey led her into long-term therapy, where she began uncovering childhood trauma, understanding the patterns that shaped her relationships, and learning to break cycles that had been passed down through generations. Along the way, another part of her emerged: JeLa, her musical identity and the songwriter behind more than 150 released songs, turning experiences of trauma, love, vulnerability, and healing into music.In this conversation, Jessica and I explore what it means to lose the version of yourself you thought you had to be, find your authentic voice, and discover that we are never finished becoming. 🎙️ABOUT JESSICA LATTMANJessica Lattman, known musically as JeLa, is a plastic surgeon, mother of three, songwriter, and recording artist with more than 150 released songs. Her music explores love, loss, vulnerability, connection, trauma, healing, and the many ways we continue becoming throughout our lives.A survivor of childhood trauma, Jessica draws from her own journey of healing and self-discovery to turn deeply personal experiences into music. Her songwriting became a way to give language to experiences that were once difficult to express and to transform them into something that can connect with others.Alongside her career in medicine and motherhood, music has become an important part of Jessica’s life and creative expression. Through JeLa, she brings together emotionally honest storytelling and pop and dance-driven production, creating songs that invite listeners to recognize pieces of their own stories.Connect with Jessica:Website: https://jelamusic.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officialjela/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@officialjelaYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JeLa_MusicSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5wiDn420KFBNE820kOUGftApple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/artist/jela/510801429Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itsjelaofficialABOUT THE SHOWThe SageFull Living Podcast explores the intersection of consciousness, personal growth, and practical life tools—through conversations that invite awareness, clarity, and meaningful change.Instagram: @susanthesageWebsite: www.susanthesage.comPodcast DisclaimerThe SageFull Living Podcast is intended for informational and inspirational purposes only.

    Psychedelics, Spiritual Awakening & the Inner Work of Healing | Matt Simpson EP 34

    What if a psychedelic experience isn't the end of your healing journey, but the beginning?In this episode of The SageFull Living Podcast, Susan sits down with Matt Simpson, author, speaker, empowerment coach, and founder of Elite Empowerment, for a deep conversation about trauma, spiritual awakening, psychedelics, nervous system regulation, and the inner work required to create lasting transformation.Matt shares his deeply personal journey from a life that looked successful on the outside career, money, freedom, and everything he thought he was supposed to want to recognizing that something inside him was still deeply unfulfilled. His path eventually led him into plant medicine, spiritual awakening, breathwork, and a profound exploration of the trauma and patterns he had carried for years.Together, Susan and Matt explore an important question that is often overlooked in conversations about psychedelics:What happens after the experience?A powerful ceremony or psychedelic journey may open a door, but what we do afterward can determine whether that experience becomes lasting transformation or simply another moment we move on from.Matt shares why integration, journaling, meditation, nervous system regulation, and the willingness to sit with discomfort are essential parts of the healing process. They also discuss how repeatedly seeking new experiences can sometimes become a way of avoiding the deeper inner work that creates real change.The conversation also explores the connection between a regulated nervous system and a more prosperous, grounded life, as well as the ways trauma, disconnection, and the pursuit of external success can quietly lead us toward burnout.From childhood trauma and spiritual awakening to breathwork, plant medicine, and the courage to face ourselves honestly, this is a conversation about what it truly means to heal and to become the next version of ourselves.In this episode, you'll discover:Why psychedelic experiences may be only the beginning of the healing journeyABOUT THE SHOWThe SageFull Living Podcast explores the intersection of consciousness, personal growth, and practical life tools—through conversations that invite awareness, clarity, and meaningful change.Instagram: @susanthesageWebsite: www.susanthesage.comPodcast Disclaimer The SageFull Living Podcast is intended for informational and inspirational purposes only.
