    The Joy Molecule: How to Stop Chasing Happiness and Reconnect With Your True Purpose

    Malisa Hepner sits down with entrepreneur and author Larry Kesslin to explore the deeper truth about happiness, identity, and spiritual awakening. From lessons learned during a life-changing trip to Africa to insights about purpose, connection, and the "Joy Molecule," this conversation challenges the idea that happiness comes from achievement. Discover how volunteering, travel, self-awareness, and even psychedelic-assisted insight can help you reconnect with your authentic self and live with greater meaning, presence, and joy. Instead of asking "What will make me happy?", start asking three deeper questions Larry describes as the foundation of the Joy Molecule: What genuinely energizes and excites you? Who do you want to impact or serve? Why does that contribution matter to you? Write down your answers and look for one small way this week to align your actions with them. True fulfillment often emerges not from chasing external success, but from reconnecting with your authentic self and intentionally contributing to something larger than you.

    Understanding the Emotional Waves of Grief & Honoring Jake's Birthday

    In this deeply personal solo episode, therapist and hos, Malisa Hepner, shares an honest update on her grief journey after the loss of her son, Jake. She reflects on the emotional fluctuations of grief, how the nervous system responds to profound loss, and the coping practices helping her move through the pain. Malisa also shares meaningful ways she plans to honor her son's birthday while learning to hold both sorrow and moments of joy. This conversation offers compassionate insight for anyone navigating grief, supporting someone who is grieving, or learning how to live alongside loss. Grief is not linear, and experiencing moments of peace or even joy does not mean you are forgetting your loved one. Allow yourself to honor both the pain and the life still moving through you. One simple practice is to create a small ritual that keeps your loved one present in your life—whether that's lighting a candle, speaking their name, writing to them, or engaging in something they loved. These intentional moments can transform grief from something you carry alone into a relationship you continue to hold.  Subscribe to Emotionally Unavailable's Patreon! $3-Become a friend of the show and support its mission $5-Ad free episodes $10-Benefits listed above and free access to monthly workbook $30- In addition to the above benefits, you can receive recurring ad space on episodes posted outside of Patreon.

    Grief, Trauma, and the Nervous System: Rebuilding Self-Trust Through Compassionate Healing

    Therapist and podcast host Malisa Hepner sits down with holistic transformation guide Christine Ruch to explore how grief and trauma impact the nervous system and emotional regulation. Together they discuss why dysregulation happens, how self-trust is rebuilt after loss, and how grief can become a powerful portal for personal growth. This conversation offers compassionate insights into healing, nervous system awareness, and developing a new relationship with your emotions. When grief or trauma overwhelms your nervous system, pause and ask yourself: "What does my body need to feel safe right now?" Instead of forcing yourself to "move on," practice small moments of regulation—slow breathing, grounding in your surroundings, or naming the emotion you're experiencing. Healing begins when you respond to your nervous system with compassion rather than pressure.

    Healing Through Love, Energy, and Awareness: Yoga Psychology & Emotional Connection

    Therapist and host, Malisa Hepner, sits down with psychotherapist, yoga psychology and philosophy teacher, author, and mystic Catia Batalha to explore the journey from emotional disconnection to embodied love. Together, they unpack how early family dynamics shape emotional awareness, the role of love languages in relationships, and how intentional living can create deeper connection. Catia shares insights on chakra work, energy dynamics, and how understanding your internal landscape can lead to greater self-awareness, empowerment, and emotional healing. This conversation offers a grounded and expansive look at how to navigate relationships, reconnect to yourself, and move through life with more presence, clarity, and love. You don't have to fix your whole life to feel more connected — you just have to become aware of your energy. Today, notice: Where you feel open vs. guarded in your body What drains your energy vs. what restores it How you give and receive love in small moments Then ask yourself: "What would it look like to respond from awareness instead of habit?" Connection doesn't start with someone else. It starts with how gently you come back to yourself.
