    From Numbness to Aliveness: A Conversation with ‘Dare to Feel’ Author Alexandra Roxo | Ep 72

    What if feeling everything: the highs, the lows, the messy in-between, was actually your greatest strength? In this episode, Alexandra Roxo, transformational mentor and author of Dare to Feel, opens up about the power of emotional aliveness. She shares why so many women are conditioned to suppress their emotions, how we unknowingly disconnect from ourselves, and what happens when we finally allow ourselves to feel it all. If you’ve ever struggled to balance being strong and soft, found yourself numbing out with busyness, or felt disconnected from your emotions, this conversation is for you. Alexandra makes a powerful case for why vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s the key to deeper connection, freedom, and real power. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why women are taught to suppress emotions—and how to break free The sneaky ways we avoid feeling (hint: staying “busy” is a big one) How to embrace both strength and softness without shutting down The power of awareness in shifting emotional patterns How intimacy is built through real emotional connection Practical ways to reconnect with your emotions and your truth RESOURCES: Get Alexandra Roxo’s book, Dare to Feel: https://amzn.to/41ElpFl  Join Alexandra’s Masterclass: Liberating Your Feminine Soul:https://alexandraroxo.mykajabi.com/liberating-your-feminine-soul Be part of Book Nook, a community of women reading transformational books like Dare to Feel: https://www.drmelissasonners.com/book-nook  Follow Alexandra on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexandraroxo  If you’re not getting my emails, make sure you head over here and sign up!

    Can Your Thoughts Heal? Lynne McTaggart (The Power of 8) Explains How | Ep 66

    Have you ever wondered how the power of intention can transform not just your life, but the world around you? In our most recent Book Nook meet-up, I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Lynne McTaggart, internationally bestselling author, journalist, and one of the most pioneering voices at the intersection of science and spirituality. Lynne’s groundbreaking work explores the profound impact of group intention and its ability to heal, connect, and shift the way we understand human potential. Our conversation dove into: The science behind intention: Why our thoughts are more powerful than we’ve been led to believe. The incredible findings from Lynne’s 41 Intention Experiments—with 37 showing measurable, significant results (better than most pharmaceuticals!). How small groups—like Lynne’s famous “Power of 8”—can amplify healing, success, and connection in ways you wouldn’t think possible. Why altruism isn’t just good for others—it’s scientifically proven to heal and energize us, too. Lynne’s insights are transformative, and the stories she shares will give you chills: from reversing chronic illnesses and financial breakthroughs to witnessing people stand up from wheelchairs after just 10 minutes of group intention.
