    Ep. 49 - Sacred Journeys in Ireland: Rites of Passage, Storytelling & Healing with Niels Vantzuriel

    What if your healing journey wasn’t found in a book—but on sacred land, guided by story, spirit, and ancient wisdom? In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Dutchman-turned-Ireland-guide Niels Vantzuriel, who leads high-achieving women through intimate, week-long healing immersions in the mountains of Ireland. Through storytelling, meditation, and connection to sacred sites, Niels and his partner guide women back to themselves—one soul at a time. We explore the power of channeled stories to shift consciousness, the role of rites of passage in true transformation, and the mystical elements of Irish history—fairies, goddesses, and unseen realms—that continue to influence healing in profound ways. This conversation is both grounding and otherworldly… and may just awaken something ancient within you.

    Ep. 48 - Kidney Transplant Miracle & COVID Loss | Jean Sime’s Story of Survival & Grief (Part 2)

    Kidney transplant survivor Jean Sime shares her journey through dialysis, miracle healing, and devastating COVID-19 loss. Jean Sime’s story is one of resilience, heartbreak, and divine timing. After being diagnosed with chronic kidney disease, Jean spent three and a half years on dialysis—fighting for her life. In the beginning, her thoughts went to a painful place: “I must be a horrible person to have been given this.” Then came the anger. Until one day, everything shifted. Jean realized she had a choice—stay angry, or be grateful for the medical technology keeping her alive and the life she could still live. She chose gratitude, and that decision changed everything. In 2019, a living donor stepped forward, giving her a miracle: a second chance at life. But that miracle was soon met with devastating loss. In 2020, Jean lost her beloved sister to COVID-19, followed by the passing of her father just months later. Navigating profound grief while embracing her new life, Jean found strength in community, purpose, and faith. Today, she is a multi-bestselling author, speaker, and organ donation advocate, using her voice to inspire hope and remind others they are not alone. This is a story of survival, love, loss—and the light that can emerge from even the darkest moments. Connect with Jean and order her books via email jeansime23@gmail.com.

    Ep. 47 - Wrongfully Convicted at 17: Your Worst Nightmare Realized | Alphonso James

    Wrongfully convicted at 17. 32 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Let that sink in. My guest, Alphonso James, lived through what many of us would call our worst nightmare… and somehow, he didn’t let it destroy him. He spent over three decades behind bars—maintaining his innocence the entire time—for a man he had never seen or met. But what struck me most about Alphonso isn’t just what he endured… It’s who he chose to become. While incarcerated, Alphonso taught himself how to read, earned degrees in theology and culinary arts, and did something most people never do—even with freedom: He transformed unimaginable pain, grief, and rage into peace, wisdom, and faith. And perhaps most incredibly… He is not angry. In this deeply moving conversation, we explore: What it means to hold onto your innocence when the world has already decided your fateHow to find freedom when your physical freedom has been takenThe inner work that transforms suffering into strengthWhy true freedom begins in the mind and the spirit This isn’t just a story about wrongful conviction or prison. It’s a story about resilience, healing, and the unbreakable human spirit. If you’ve ever felt trapped—by trauma, circumstances, or your past—this episode will meet you exactly where you are. And it may just change the way you see your own freedom. Order Shari's book Broken to Enlightened at shariroberts.org/my-book/.

    Ep. 46 - Why Trauma Survivors Become High Achievers and Burnout with Alecia Farricielli

    What drives someone to achieve endlessly… yet still feel unfulfilled? In this powerful episode of The Shari Leigh Roberts Podcast, Shari sits down with accomplished executive, educator, and coach Alecia Farricielli to explore the hidden force behind high achievement: unresolved childhood trauma. Like many survivors, Alecia built an extraordinary life on the outside — earning multiple degrees, certifications, and professional success. But beneath the accomplishments was a deeper subconscious drive shared by so many trauma survivors: the relentless need to prove we are worthy of love, acceptance, and belonging. Eventually, that drive leads to burnout… and a reckoning. In her 40s, while balancing life as a wife, mother, and executive, Alecia reached a turning point. What she discovered transformed everything: true success doesn’t come from pushing harder — it comes from healing the inner child and embracing the feminine energy many of us were taught to suppress. In this deeply honest conversation, we explore: • Why childhood trauma often creates high achievers • The hidden emotional cost of constantly proving your worth • The burnout cycle so many successful people experience • Healing the inner child as the path to authentic success • Why embracing feminine energy is essential — for women and men Alecia’s story is a powerful reminder that real fulfillment doesn’t come from conquering the world… it comes from finally coming home to yourself.

    Ep. 45 - Escaping Iran: War, Trauma, and the Search for Freedom | Seyed Nourashrafeddin

    A powerful story of survival, resilience, and the search for freedom. Former Iranian citizen Seyed Nourashrafeddin shares what life in Iran was really like before finding freedom in America. In this relevant and timely episode, I sit down with Seyed Nourashrafeddin — former Iranian citizen, now proud American — whose life story is a profound testament to resilience and the relentless search for freedom. Seyed shares what life in Iran was like before the 8-year war… and the 37 years that followed. He speaks openly about childhood trauma with his father, growing up amid political upheaval, and watching his homeland change before his eyes. Despite early academic struggles and low-test scores as a child, he refused to accept limitation as his destiny. He went on to earn his PhD, mentor others, and ultimately leave Iran for good to build a beautiful life in America with his wife and daughter. With Israel and the United States currently bombing Iran, this conversation became urgent and deeply relevant. Seyed offers wisdom, insight, and sobering perspective drawn from lived experience — not headlines. His newly released book, Searching for Freedom from Motel Qu to Pittsburgh, documents his extraordinary journey. This episode explores: • Life in Iran before, during, and after war • Healing early childhood trauma • Overcoming academic labels and rising to a PhD • Immigration, identity, and building a new life in America • What Americans should understand about Iran and democracy right now • The true meaning of freedom If you believe in transformational journeys, this episode will stay with you.
