    What's Missing In My Life? — Trauma, Longing & Healing | Chris Sansone

    When something hurts for years, it's easy to believe something is wrong with you. Childhood trauma, shame, and emotional pain can leave us searching for answers we can't quite name. In this episode, Chris Sansone shares his journey through childhood sexual abuse, healing, advocacy, and the deeper meaning of longing. Together we explore how trauma shapes our lives, why emotional pain lingers, and how healing can reconnect us with the parts of ourselves we thought were lost. Chris Sansone, PhD is a life, leadership, and spiritual transformation coach—and a certified past life regression guide—with 28 years of experience supporting people through life-defining challenges and seasons of change. His work invites individuals, couples, and groups to listen beneath the noise of daily life, uncover what the soul is truly longing for, and gently heal the old patterns that keep them small. With a PhD in Human Development, coaching certification through the Co-Active Training Institute (CTI), training in trauma response, and certification in past life regression therapy, Chris blends grounded developmental insight with spiritual practice to create meaningful, transformative experiences. He is the author of Longing: A Pilgrimage to Your Quiet Power Within.

    What happens when you grow up believing you were never meant to be loved? Childhood trauma can shape identity, safety, and self-worth long into adulthood. In this episode, Melanie Taylor shares the hidden grief carried by those who learned to disappear in order to survive—and what it means to return to the part of ourselves that was never broken. Melanie Taylor is a Licensed Professional Counselor–Supervisor, Certified Heart Center Hypnotherapist, and author of You Are For True. Her work centers on healing childhood trauma through repair, embodiment, and compassionate truth-telling. Drawing from both clinical training and lived experience of abuse and recovery, Melanie writes about returning to the parts of ourselves that were hurt and offering them what was missing the first time around, safety, protection, and love.

    Losing Someone Who’s Still Alive — The Reality of Caregiving & Grief | Dami Roelse

    What happens when the person you love slowly disappears—and you’re still asked to keep living? Dami Roelse shares what it’s like to lose a partner long before they’re gone. In this episode, Dami Roelse opens up about caring for her husband through Parkinson’s and dementia, and the quiet reality of becoming a caretaker instead of a partner. There’s a kind of grief that doesn’t have space to land while it’s happening—and what follows can feel just as disorienting. What began as a walk into nature at sixty-five became a ten-year journey hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, where grief, freedom, and something deeper began to meet. Dami is the author of Fly Free: A Memoir of Love, Loss and Walking the Path and her most recent book, Body and Grace, which follows her ten-year journey hiking the Pacific Crest Trail after the loss of her husband. Moving through snowfields, deserts, fire, and long stretches alone, the outer journey becomes a reflection of something deeper—finding wholeness again in the wake of loss. Topics In This Episode: -Grief and healing through nature -The spiritual benefits of hiking and wilderness -The impact of altitude and environment on consciousness -Losing a partner while they’re still alive -The reality of caregiving and identity shift -Grief without space to process -Life after loss and depression -Walking the Pacific Crest Trail in sections -Nature as a path to healing and clarity -Discovering resilience, intuition, and trust _____ Disclaimer: The views and opinions shared in this episode are solely those of the Guest and do not necessarily represent the views, beliefs, or positions of the Awakening Soul Divinity Podcast. The content is intended for inspiration, reflection, and personal growth, and should not be taken as professional or medical advice. _____ Dami Roelse is a certified life coach and author. Born and raised in Holland, Dami has traveled the world extensively, lived on different continents and studied with different spiritual teachers. Dami has learned to use her travel as an inspiration for living. Her memoir "Fly Free, a memoir about love, loss and walking the path" takes the reader to a remote destination in Ladakh on the border with China and is sprinkled with flashbacks of her travels in Afghanistan, India and Nepal, where she met Goenka, Neem Karoli Baba and Ram Dass. Dami has used her passion for long distance hiking and backpacking as a means to deepen her connection with nature and the universe. Her inner spiritual journey has evolved right along with her outer journey. Dami’s first book, “Walking Gone Wild, How to Lose your Age on the trail”, is a call to women in the third phase of life to find freedom and inner peace as they walk in nature. Dami's third book, "Body and Grace, a woman's walk to wholeness on the Pacific Crest Trail" is forthcoming in April 2026 with Mantra Press. It is a collection of nature infused stories and poems that takes the reader on the trail with its ups and downs, both literally and psychologically. Dami makes her home in Taos, New Mexico.

    When Postpartum Depression Feels Like You’re Not Yourself Anymore | Katherine Connors

    When postpartum depression hits, it doesn’t always look the way people expect. It can feel like you’re still there… and at the same time, like you’re slipping away inside—and no one around you can fully see it. In this episode, Katherine Connors shares her experience of postpartum depression while remaining deeply connected to her role as a mother. There’s a kind of loneliness and disorientation that’s hard to name—and even harder to explain. When she found Polarity Therapy, something began to shift. What started as personal support became a path she now walks with others. This conversation stays close to the lived experience—what it feels like, what begins to open, and how a different relationship with the body can gently bring you back. Topics In This Episode: -Postpartum depression and healing -Energy healing modalities including polarity therapy -Working with horses and animals for emotional and physical healing _____ Disclaimer: The views and opinions shared in this episode are solely those of the Guest and do not necessarily represent the views, beliefs, or positions of the Awakening Soul Divinity Podcast. The content is intended for inspiration, reflection, and personal growth, and should not be taken as professional or medical advice. Hi, I’m Katherine Connors—a certified Advanced Polarity Practitioner, Hermetic Counselor, and ordained minister in Florida. My approach blends holistic counseling, intuitive physical bodywork, and energy healing grounded in the five elements: earth, water, fire, air, and ether. I was led to this work through my own healing journey—navigating postpartum depression and emotional disconnection. I came to understand how deeply the body stores past experiences—grief, trauma, stress—and how powerfully it can heal when given the space and support. Polarity therapy is rooted in the anatomy of energy. Each session is a full-body process that combines dialogue, guided meditation, and somatic techniques to identify where your system is off balance. I use hands-on practices—including cranial sacral-inspired touch and homeopathic suggestions—to help release what no longer serves you. Whether you’re seeking forgiveness, clarity, or reconnection, I meet you where you are. I also offer sessions for animals, who respond beautifully to this work. Sessions are available virtually, in nature, at home, or at Spark of Divine in Vero Beach.
