In this episode, Natasha Levinger shares her wisdom and her unique approach on inner child healing, energy work, parts work, and multidimensional ways of healing.

    28: 💔 How to (re)connect with all of your (body) parts and find integration within fragmentation

    What if you feel disconnected from yourself–from a specific part of your body or an inner part? How can you get from numbness to connection and find integration, a sense of belonging and wholeness within yourself again 🌀?

    26:🪞Mirror Mirror…? Why Your Self-Image And Self-Worth Are Ready For An Update!

    *Sign up for my live group program, The True YOU by April 17th* Do you see and perceive yourself directly? Or do you see yourself through the mirror of others? Do you prioritize what is important for YOU or what is important to be a „successful, good, productive person“ in the eyes of society? Do you feel worthy because of who you are or because of what you do, accomplish and achieve? Far too often, we repress unconsciously important aspects of our identity because they are judged by society. Far too often, we abandon essential needs that we have because we are afraid to be rejected by others. In this episode we shine a light on our identity and our sense of self 🌞. We explore how our self-image and self-worth is influenced by the environment and the society we are living in and how we can see and be our true Self again. What if you are finally ready to perceive yourself directly and to see your True YOU? What if you feel safe enough to embody your true Self in your everyday life? 👁️ Tune in and hear about: How your environment influences your sense of self, self-worth, and your identityWhy inner safety is the prerequisite for embodying your true SelfThe delicate difference between nature and nurture What a tiny island in Indonesia taught me, Verena about my priorities in life This episode is for everyone who feels trapped in their own life and longs for freedom and joy 🐎 AND the episode is for you as a recovering perfectionist and people-pleaser who needs loving encouragement to prioritize YOUR joy!

    24: 🪐 How To Use Spiritual Tools With Integrity And Why I Stopped Talking Much About Astrology

    Are you asking your astro-app or Chat GPT what to do 🪐? Do you believe that your human design coach, your tarot reader or your astrology chart gives you THE answer…? In this episode I, Verena, share honestly why I hardly talk about astrology anymore and I share my observation that more and more people (unconsciously) give their power away to spiritual tools and coaches. I also take a critical look at spiritual coaches and teachers who use ancient wisdom schools and divination tools like astrology, human design, the tarot, numerology or the Chinese zodiac in a rather disempowering way ✨ 🔮. In the episode, I share my personal opinion about using astrology with integrity and care and I explain why I combine astrology with somatics. 🧿 Tune in and hear about: Insecurity and the desire for safety The increasing importance of becoming your own authority Why the planets are NOT dictating your life How you can use astrology in an empowering way Why I have distanced myself from astro-forecasting Why no spiritual tool, coach or expert can save you from pain and challenges This episode is for every astrology-lover who scrolls daily through the universe 💫 AND it is for spiritual rebels who feel triggered by astro updates or tarot spreads.

    23: ❤️‍🩹 Do We Need (Chronic) Illness to Live Like A Human And Not A Machine?

    Do we need to (internally) justify our natural need for rest by having a migraine 🤕 ? Is the only way to return to a natural pace for our body to get sick–in the society we are living in? Join me, Verena in this solo episode asking (myself) some uncomfortable, possibly triggering, activating, and important questions… about my own experiences with chronic illness, stress, and the working conditions we are born into but never consciously agreed with. In this episode I don’t give you THE answer or a five-step-plan. I share authentically and honestly what I feel, experience, observe… in my life, with my clients, and in the world 👁️. Let’s gently explore why our body sends us signals that are sometimes very painful, how and if we can answer them, and what to (not) do when our health, body, and life feels out of control. 🛌 Tune in and hear about: My personal experiences with chronic pain and mysterious illnesses Western medicine and deeper, more holistic ways of healing Body, mind, and why it’s not just about putting a bandage on  How to communicate with your body Why I reject to function like a machine when I am healthy (again) This podcast episode is for you if you often feel guilty for resting AND the episode is for every-body who is familiar with chronic pain and open to ask some difficult questions with curiosity and self-compassion ❤️‍🩹.

    22: 🙏🏽 It’s Okay To NOT Have A Plan! Softening Into The Energies Of 2026

    Let’s be honest: nothing is working any longer. There is no perfect plan and no strategy that guaranties “success” and there is no “expert” who can solve all of your problems 🙅🏼‍♀️.   Are we completely lost and should give up…? No! It’s a time to try out new things, play, 🦄 follow your inner knowing, trust the pace of your body, and softening into the beauty and pain of being an infinite soul in a body on planet earth. In this episode, I, Verena, share intuitively and spontaneously why the era of the “expert and teacher” who knows it all is over and why that liberates you from restrictive rules and the idea that you are a failure if “the perfect strategy” is not working for you.   🦋 Tune in and hear about: The energies of 2025 and 2026 Why you are right on track if nothing in your life/business is working The end of “the expert” and what is coming next How you can try out new things without feeling overwhelmed Softening into self-liberation and creating your full-body-yes-life in 2026+ This podcast episode is for everyone who wants to feel into 2026 without feeling stressed out 🙏🏽 AND the episode is for you if you doubt yourself and need some inspiring and empowering thoughts.
