    When the Doors Close | Holly Fowles-Pazdro on What Keeps You Going When Nobody Else Is There

    Content Warning This episode contains first-hand accounts of childhood physical and sexual abuse, family estrangement and difficult periods of mental health. If any of these topics may affect you, please take care of yourself while listening. You can pause, skip or come back to this when you feel ready. You are not alone. Samaritans: 116 123 NAPAC: 0808 801 0331 Rape Crisis: 0808 500 2222 Holly Fowles-Pazdro grew up not feeling safe, not feeling seen and not feeling allowed to say so. She spent her teens escaping into drugs and parties because that was easier than going home. She spent fifteen years in film and TV doing hair and makeup, working eighteen-hour days, going to the toilet to cry and coming back out smiling. Until the day her back collapsed on set and she could not get up.   What followed was an eleven-hour surgery, months alone with a litter grabber, a wean off opioids, and the beginning of one of the most profound personal rebuilds I have ever witnessed.   During EMDR therapy, Holly began to remember things her brain had locked away to protect her for decades. Things she had no conscious memory of. And she had to face them. Alone. In the dark. Every day.   She has never spoken about any of this publicly. Until now.   In this conversation Holly talks about what it means to grow up as the black sheep. About finding a diary at 41 that told her things she had forgotten at 10. About the eleven-hour surgery that forced her to stop and in stopping, find out who she actually was. About cutting off her family and watching abundance flood in. About the poem she wrote when words were the only thing left.   And about the insight her therapist says changed everything: it is not about letting go. It is about whether you have the capacity to hold space for all of it.   Holly is now a mind, body and facial specialist focused on nervous system-led treatments. She holds space for others as someone who has had to hold space for everything herself.   Content note: this episode contains discussion of childhood physical and sexual abuse, family estrangement, chronic pain, addiction and dark moments during recovery.

    When Life Gets Heavy | On Slowing Down, Letting Go and Just Doing It

    EPISODE DESCRIPTION Rachel went quiet for a few weeks. Not because she ran out of things to say. But because life got heavy. In this solo episode, Rachel speaks honestly about what it is like to be the one who manages when something hard happens. The one who makes the tea and holds it together and cries in the car on the way to school drop-off and then pulls themselves together and carries on. About the guilt of stepping back from the things you love. About the permission to slow down without calling it failure. And about the thing that kept coming back to her through all of it. We think we have time. We worry ourselves small. We hold back from the things we really want to do because of what people might think. But life has a way of making you stop. And in the stopping, if you pay attention, there is usually something worth hearing. This is one of the most personal episodes Rachel has recorded. And probably one of the most important.

    I Don't Have a Tidy Ending | Alexandra Alden on Running From Your Own Power and What Stopped Her

    Content note: this episode contains references to childhood emotional violence, alcoholism in the family, addiction, grief, and the loss of a sibling. Alexandra Alden has done a lot. She founded a 500-person community. Consulted with the World Food Programme. Produced events across multiple countries. Travelled, built, created. And described herself as half disappearing through all of it.   Always moving right before anything got real. Right before anyone could get close enough to truly see her. Not out of restlessness but out of something much quieter and much harder to name. A fear not of failure but of her own power.   In this conversation, Alexandra traces the arc from a childhood of walking on eggshells in a home with alcoholism and emotional violence, through decades of movement, building and leaving, to the night of the soul that eventually cracked it all open. The toxic relationship that became the mirror. The plant medicine. The grief work. The loss of her brother in January of this year. And the grief dance that has become her medicine for others.  Alexandra works with people on moving out of emotional shutdown and back into instinct, feeling and embodied presence. She is also the founder of the Liberation Atelier programme and the creator of the Grief Dance. This is one of the most honest conversations I have had on this podcast. Not because Alexandra has it figured out. But because she doesn't. And she said so. Out loud. In the middle of it.

    Believe the Diagnosis But Not the Prognosis | Elizabeth Kipp on Healing From the Inside Out

    Elizabeth Kipp grew up thinking she had missed the instructions. The handbook for how to be a person that everyone else seemed to have. She was educated, capable and high-functioning on the outside. Overwhelmed almost constantly on the inside. And quietly convinced that something must be wrong with her.   In this conversation Elizabeth traces the arc from a childhood of walking on eggshells, through four decades of chronic pain, addiction, two spinal fusions and a medical system that told her she would never be free from it, to the moment she decided to believe the diagnosis but not the prognosis.   She talks about what a nervous system stuck in chronic pain actually feels like from the inside, the ancestral grief she carried for sixty years without knowing what it was, and the daily practices that eventually cleared forty years of chronic pain in fifty-two days.   She also teaches two of the simplest and most powerful breathing techniques I have heard described on this podcast. You will want a pen for this one.   Elizabeth Kipp is a stress management and historical trauma specialist, an addiction recovery coach and a trauma-informed practitioner. She is also the author of The Way Through Chronic Pain.   TIMESTAMPS 00:00  Opening  |  She thought she had missed the instructions 01:22  Welcome to Elizabeth Kipp 01:33  Growing up  |  walking on eggshells 03:00  We don't talk about that  |  the family mantra 05:00  Dyslexia, the ridiculing teachers and getting an A in calculus 09:04  High-functioning on the outside, overwhelmed on the inside 11:08  The chronic pain  |  what it actually is and where it starts 14:45  Born into separation  |  where the pattern began 17:00  The accident at 14  |  a broken spine she didn't know about for seven years 20:34  The nervous system in a constant state of bracing 21:45  The stress habit  |  what it looks like from the inside 23:00  The first full breath she had ever taken 25:08  Two breathing practices you can do right now 29:00  The morning breathing practice step by step 31:08  The mind follows the breath 33:37  Ancestral grief  |  what it actually feels like to carry it 36:00  The clearing  |  releasing what the lineage never processed 38:30  The grief of losing a career and making peace with the rock 43:45  I believe the diagnosis but not the prognosis 50:00  What the healing actually asked of her day to day 55:26  Fifty-two days, forty years of chronic pain gone 57:36  The daily practices that keep the nervous system calm 01:02:30  How to meditate when you can't stop thinking 01:03:06  There is nothing wrong with you  |  for anyone who recognises this 01:04:32  If someone has told you this is just how it is 01:05:04  Rachel's closing reflection Guest links Website https://Elizabeth-Kipp.com Facebook https://www.facebook.com/elizabeth.kipp.3 Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lizi.kipp/ LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethkipp/ Substack https://substack.com/@sacredrebelle YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethkipp9855 The Way Through Chronic Pain Book:https://elizabethkippcom.simplero.com/page/125986 This episode is for anyone who has ever been told this is just how it is.

    Brilliant at Everything, Invisible Inside | Hannah Dalby on 15 Years of Achievement as Avoidance

    Hannah Dalby was a professional Muay Thai fighter. She got sober. She built a business. From the outside that all looked impressive.   But that's not the story.   The real story is that she spent fifteen years being brilliant at everything she tried. Fighting. Training. Achieving. Building. Getting sober. And not once in any of it did she stop long enough to find out who she actually was underneath all of it.   In this conversation Hannah traces the full arc from the little girl selling bracelets door to door at eight years old, through the addiction years, the abusive relationships, the training that replaced the drugs, the ayahuasca ceremony that cracked something open, and the year that followed where she had to gain weight, stop competing and sit with herself for the very first time.   Hannah now works with people on human integration. Helping them feel what's underneath rather than keep finding new ways to avoid it.   This is one of the most honest conversations about high achievement as a coping mechanism I've had on this podcast. I think it's going to reach a lot of people who recognise themselves in it. Even if their life looks nothing like hers.   Content note: this episode contains references to drug addiction, alcohol, domestic abuse and plant medicine ceremonies.

    The Question She Wasn't Expecting | Tina Yarger on Grief That Goes Underground and the Training Room That Brought It Back

    Tina Yarger was 18 years old when she lost her father. Before that grief had anywhere to settle, she lost a childhood friend. And then she lost her mother too. She was the oldest. Everyone needed her to be okay. So she held it together, functioned, achieved, built a life. And for ten years, the grief went underground and stayed there. It didn't surface in a therapy room or a quiet moment of reflection. It surfaced in a training room during her clinical counselling internship, in a question about her mother that she expected to answer easily. And the pause that followed changed everything. In this conversation Tina talks about what grief looks like when it has nowhere to go, the ten years of living a double life on the surface, the anger she wasn't allowed to feel, and why grief can't be healed but does get quieter. Tina Yarger is a licensed professional counsellor, a pastor and an author. She has now built her entire life around helping others with exactly what she carried alone for a decade. This episode is for anyone who has ever kept functioning when falling apart would have been the more honest thing to do.

    The Second Generation | Kate King on Family Estrangement, the Ancestral Pattern and Breaking the Cycle

    Kate King grew up hearing stories about her estranged uncle. Stories are told only one way. That never quite felt like the whole truth. Years later, she realised she had become him. The same pattern. The same distortions. The same impossible position in the family system. The second generation. In this conversation, Kate traces the full arc of a three-decade journey through a toxic family system. The confusion of being gaslit from the inside. The years of trying before the final thread snapped. The aftermath of assembling a legal team to protect herself and her family from the people who raised her. And then something she never expected. A six-page handwritten letter from the healthier parent. And the slow, clunky, imperfect repair that followed. Kate King is a therapist of nearly twenty years and the author of Mend or Move On. She has now lived both sides of that question within her own family. This is one of the most layered and honest conversations we have had on Unspoken Emotions.   This episode contains references to family estrangement, emotional and psychological abuse, toxic family dynamics, and the impact of parental rejection.

    My Body Was Always Telling the Truth | Jacie Targett on Childhood Abuse, Chronic Illness and Learning to Listen

    FREE GIVEAWAY Free guide - 3 Steps to Releasing What’s Holding You Back  ⁠https://unspokenemotions.co.uk/free-guide⁠ Find The Newsletter Below: ⁠https://unspokenemotions.co.uk/newsletter Jacie Targett grew up in a body that was already carrying what her mind was not yet ready to know. Autoimmune symptoms from the age of eighteen months. A childhood spent wearing a mask of confidence, intelligence and perfection so thick that by her teens she could not take it off. Years of alcohol addiction, sex addiction and hyper-independence. A marriage that offered safety but not connection. And at 29, in the middle of a prayer session with a client, a wave of memories she had blocked out for decades.   In this conversation, Jacie traces the layers. Not the neat version. The honest one. How the body holds what the mind cannot face. How becoming honest with yourself is terrifying every single time and yet somehow gets more possible. And how the pain that seemed like a betrayal was actually the most loyal thing she had.   Jacie is a therapist, entrepreneur and survivor. She works with people who are afraid of their own inner world and shows them that the capacity to face it is already inside them.   This episode contains references to childhood sexual abuse, alcohol and sex addiction, chronic illness and recovered memories.
