In this deeply healing episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, Christine Ruch joins us to explore nervous system healing, body wisdom, chronic illness, emotional capacity, and the sacred journey of healing from within.Christine is a Holistic Transformation Guide who helps people reconnect with their body's innate intelligence and healing potential. After walking through her own 20-year healing journey with Multiple Sclerosis and chronic health challenges, she now supports others in restoring their nervous system, rebuilding self-trust, releasing stored trauma, and returning to deeper alignment in body, mind, soul, and spirit.This conversation is an invitation to stop fighting the body and begin listening to it. Christine reminds us that symptoms are not always enemies to silence. Sometimes, they are messengers guiding us toward truth, surrender, compassion, and inner restoration.In This Episode, We ExploreNervous system healing as a gateway to transformationHow chronic illness can become an invitation to listen more deeplyBuilding emotional capacity and resilienceWhy many people feel disconnected from their bodiesThe role of trauma, unresolved emotions, and stored pain in healingHow to release control and trust the body's intelligenceWhat aligned embodiment looks like in everyday lifeThe meaning of holding space without fixing or forcingHow personal healing contributes to collective healingA loving first step for anyone feeling tired, stuck, or discouragedKey TakeawaysYour body is not your enemy. It may be carrying messages that need compassion, attention, and deeper listening.Nervous system restoration can help create the inner safety needed for emotional release, trauma healing, and spiritual alignment.Healing is not only about symptom management. It is also about rebuilding trust with yourself and learning how to live from a calmer, more connected place.Emotions are not who you are. They can be witnessed, felt, and released without becoming your identity.The illusion of control can keep us disconnected from the deeper intelligence of the body. Surrender can open the door to liberation.Memorable Quotes“I love life.”“Your emotions are not who you are.”“She'd be really proud of me.”Chapters00:00 The Journey of Healing and Transformation07:44 Listening to the Body's Wisdom17:29 Trust, Surrender, and Self-Love22:01 The Illusion of Control25:10 Building Emotional Capacity27:53 Witnessing Emotions Without Judgment32:42 The Journey to a Calmer Nervous System36:29 Healing from Within38:03 Holding Space for Others42:51 Embarking on the Healing JourneyConnect with Christine RuchWebsite: https://www.christineruch.com/Substack: The Fresh LifeListen to This Episode If You Are AskingHow do I begin healing from within?Why does my body feel overwhelmed or unsafe?How can I rebuild trust with my body after illness?What does nervous system healing really mean?How can emotional capacity support trauma release and inner peace?Gentle NoteThis episode is shared for educational and inspirational purposes only.

He Got Sick the Day He Stayed. He Started Healing the Day He Quit.Thuan did not leave his job. His body made the decision for him.Three months on medical leave. A doctor who refused to clear him to return. A resignation email he sat with for a long time before he finally hit send.The same day he sent it, he started feeling better.That is the kind of story that sounds like luck until you hear the whole thing. Because Thuan had been planting seeds for years. Recovery. Yoga. Qigong. Sound baths. A decade of healing himself and then helping others heal inside the walls of addiction treatment centers. He knew what the work was. He just had not yet had the courage to take it into the world.The universe took care of that part.In this episode, Thuan shares how his path through Alcoholics Anonymous and Refuge Recovery led him to holistic healing, how a wellness director job he was not supposed to have changed his life, and how he and his business partner Britt built the Zen Den, a wellness studio in Connecticut designed for the one person everyone forgets about: the busy human who needs peace but has to be at work by nine.He also breaks down what the word abracadabra actually means. And once you hear it, you will never say it the same way again.In this episode:Why Thuan says he genuinely enjoys powerlessness, and what that taught him about trustThe resignation email that triggered his healingHow saying "2026 is going to be big for me" with zero plan behind it turned out to be exactly rightThe Zen Den model: mindfulness built around the real obstacle, which is timeThe one phrase that stops fear in its tracks: "My faith is stronger than my fear"If you are sitting with a nudge you keep ignoring, this episode is for you.Subscribe to Purpose Chasers so you never miss a conversation like this one.

If you've been wondering why some people seem to experience major shifts in their health while others stay stuck in the same cycle for years, this episode explores five decisions that repeatedly appear in stories of remission, recovery, and unexpected improvement.In this episode of Renegade Remission, we look at the turning points that often happen before symptoms improve. Across documented recovery stories, meaningful change rarely begins with one dramatic intervention. More often, it starts when people begin changing the conditions their bodies are operating within; reducing chronic stress, reevaluating environments and routines, supporting the body more consistently, and staying engaged long enough for biology to respond.From there, we break down the science behind why these decisions matter biologically, including how chronic stress affects inflammation and hormone signaling, how the nervous system influences repair processes, and why repeated daily inputs shape long-term health more than isolated actions ever could.In this episode, you'll understand:The five decisions that repeatedly appear in stories of healing and recoveryWhy change often begins long before symptoms improveHow stress, environment, and daily habits directly influence biologyWhy consistency matters more than intensity when supporting healingHow to begin identifying the patterns that may be helping—or straining—your bodyListen now to understand why healing often begins with a change in direction, and how small, repeated decisions can gradually reshape the conditions your body responds to.DISCLAIMERThis podcast is for educational purposes only and does not offer medical advice.

What if the biggest transformation wasn't achieving the dream... but becoming the person capable of holding it?In this heartfelt conversation, I sit down with my dear friend Susan Francis, mindset and self-leadership coach, who has been a huge part of my journey over the past six years. From supporting me behind the scenes in business to helping shape the early manuscripts of my book, Susan has witnessed many of the lessons, challenges and breakthroughs that have unfolded along the way.Together, we explore why building a business is often one of the greatest personal development journeys you'll ever undertake. We talk about identity shifts, people pleasing, core values, self-worth, intuition, letting go of old versions of ourselves, and why the challenges we face are often invitations into our next level of growth.We also dive into:Why life often mirrors back the parts of ourselves ready for healingHow to stop abandoning yourself in order to please othersThe importance of knowing your core valuesWhy sometimes you have to let go in order to growThe difference between being the rescue boat and being the lighthouseThis is one of those conversations that unfolded naturally and took us exactly where it needed to go.If you've been feeling stuck, questioning your next step, or sensing that life is inviting you into a new chapter, I think you'll find something valuable in this episode.Connect with Susan:Susan's free Return to Self audio and additional resources can be found at:

Why do I still feel stuck… even though I love Jesus?In this honest, compassionate, and eye-opening conversation, Willow sits down with trauma therapist and author Aundi Kolber to explore the connection between faith, emotional health, and the nervous system—and why so many women feel disconnected from the healing they long for.Aundi shares vulnerably from her own story of childhood trauma—how she learned to survive by “white knuckling” life, staying hyper-aware, and becoming the “good” and successful girl on the outside… while internally feeling anxious, disconnected, and afraid.What she didn't realize at the time is something so many women experience:just because something feels normal doesn't mean it's healthy.Together, Willow and Aundi unpack the moment when survival strategies stop helping and start hurting—and why healing often begins by simply noticing the mismatch.They also gently challenge one of the most common beliefs in Christian culture:that if you have faith, you should already be healed.But the truth is—healing isn't instant, and it's not something we earn by trying harder.In fact, trying harder might be the very thing keeping you stuck.Instead, Aundi introduces a new invitation: to try softer.Not as a way of giving up…but as a way of becoming present.Present to your story.Present to your body.Present to the God who is already with you.This conversation will help you understand why your pain may still be showing up, how trauma lives in your body, and what it looks like to invite Jesus into your healing in a real, practical way.In this episode, you'll learn:Why “trying harder” can actually block your healingHow trauma impacts your body, faith, and relationshipsWhat it means to “try softer” in everyday lifeWhy naming your story is a powerful step toward freedomHow to stop spiritually bypassing pain and start processing itWhat it looks like to invite God into your healing in real timeFinal EncouragementYou don't have to rush your healing.You don't have to prove your faith.And you don't have to pretend you're okay.God isn't waiting for a finished version of you.He meets you right here—in the middle of your story.And maybe today…He's inviting you to try softer.Connect with AundiWebsite: aundikolber.comInstagram: @aundikolberSubstack: substack.com/@aundikolberBooks: Try Softer, Strong Like WaterCollide BookFollow Willow: Website | Instagram | Facebook

If you've done the therapy, set the boundaries, and still find your body holding onto stress, symptoms, or chronic issues, this episode will shift how you understand healing entirely.In this conversation, Dr. Kelly Kessler sits down with Marcus Fernandez, a global leader in homeopathic education and Principal of the Centre for Homeopathic Education, to explore what it really means to heal at the root—not just manage symptoms.Marcus shares how a personal health experience led him from a completely conventional path into natural medicine, and why true healing isn't about fixing the body—it's about activating the intelligence already within it. Together, they unpack:Why so many high-achieving women still feel unwell even after “doing the work”The difference between symptom suppression and true root-cause healingHow homeopathy works (and why it's more individualized than conventional approaches)The hidden ways we've been conditioned to give our health power awayThe 4 foundational pillars (MEDS framework) that create real, sustainable wellnessWhy your body already knows how to heal and what blocks that processThis episode is not about rejecting modern medicine. It's about becoming informed, empowered, and deeply connected to your own body again.If you've been overriding your body for years…This conversation will show you a different way back.Marcus Fernandez has been at the forefront of homeopathic education for over three decades. As Principal of The Centre for Homeopathic Education (CHE), he's trained thousands of practitioners through a curriculum that balances classical knowledge with modern application. His work is rooted in a belief that natural medicine should be practical, empowering, and accessible - not mystified or gatekept.His latest book 'Homeopathy at Home' reflects that ethos. Designed to be used, not shelved, it offers simple, step-by-step guidance for everyday ailments using natural remedies. Its success, reaching #1 in Amazon's holistic medicine category, reflects a rising demand for family-focused, self-directed wellness. Marcus also created an AI-powered virtual assistant that lets people ask home prescribing questions 24/7 - a project born from his desire to make quality natural health advice as available as online misinformation.While his formal background is in homeopathy, Marcus speaks just as comfortably about men's health, slow living, and holistic longevity. He co-hosts Beyond the Shed, a raw and reflective podcast spotlighting unfiltered conversations about men's emotional health — part of a wider mission to create space for honesty, healing, and ownership in the way we care for ourselves and each other.Whether he's teaching herbal remedies in a London classroom or exploring health span strategies on a podcast, Marcus brings curiosity, compassion, and depth to every conversation. His message is clear: the body already knows how to heal — we just have to give it the right tools. Marcus' warmth and wisdom makes natural health both useful and deeply human.Connect with Marcus:https://www.youtube.com/@Homeopathy-at-Homehttps://marcus-fernandez.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcus-fernandez-98252523/https://www.instagram.com/marcusfndez/https://www.facebook.com/people/Marcus-Fernandez/100009253627766/?skhttps://www.amazon.co.uk/Homeopathy-Home-Everyday-Treatments-Complaints/dp/1837823189

As parents, we hurt when our children hurt.

If you've spent your life being told you're "too nice," "a people-pleaser," or that you just need to "set better boundaries," this episode is for you. Fawning is the fourth trauma response, and for most folks with complex PTSD, it's been... a thing... for decades. In this episode, Sarah unpacks what fawning actually is (hint: it's not a personality flaw), how it gets built in childhood, what it can feel like in the body, and three small experiments to begin the work of coming home to yourself.This is one of the most requested topics on The Complex Trauma Podcast. Sarah brings together the foundational work of Pete Walker, current research on complex trauma and emotional neglect, parts work and structural dissociation from Janina Fisher, polyvagal theory, and somatic experiencing into one  conversation about why so many of us learned to disappear into other people, and how we begin to find our way back.In this episode, you'll learn:The difference between fawning and people-pleasing, and why the distinction matters for healingHow fawning develops as a brilliant survival adaptation in childhood, often before you have language to remember itWhy the latest research shows emotional neglect is the strongest predictor of complex PTSDSeven somatic markers of fawning, including the rehearsing, the scanning, the voice change, and the disappearanceHow blended states (sympathetic activation plus dorsal shutdown) explain why fawning leaves you exhausted and wired at the same timeThe reframe that changes everything: you are not a fawner. You have parts of you that fawn.Three small, sticky experiments you can try this week: The Body Audit, The 1% Honest Answer, and The Tiny NoWhy titration (slow, tiny, repeated) is the only way trauma responses actually unwindMentioned in this episode:Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving by Pete WalkerFawning by Dr. Ingrid ClaytonEmbracing our Fragmented Selves by Janina FisherWaking the Tiger and In an Unspoken Voice by Peter LevineThe CDC-Kaiser ACE StudyWhy Regulation Feels So Hard with CPTSD (previous episode)Sarah's conversation with Janina Fisher (previous episode)Thanks for listening to The Complex Trauma Podcast!Be sure to follow, share and give us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Follow on Instagram: @sarahherstichlcsw Follow on TikTok: @sarahherstichlcswLearn more about EMDR & trauma therapy in Pennsylvania with Reclaim TherapyThis podcast is for educational and informational purposes only.

What if the very thing you believe is helping you heal… is actually keeping you stuck?In this powerful and deeply honest conversation, we explore the hidden side of personal growth — spiritual bypassing — and why true healing requires more than just “staying positive” or thinking your way out of pain.Joined by trauma-informed psychotherapist and host of The Connected Community Podcast, Nicky Yazbeck shares her journey through burnout, deep trauma work, and the transformative role of plant medicine in reconnecting to her authentic self.Together, we unpack:What spiritual bypassing really is (and how to spot it in your own life)Why avoiding emotions like grief, anger, and fear can block true healingHow trauma lives in the body, not just the mindThe power of EMDR in rewiring deep-rooted patternsWhat shadow work actually looks like in real lifeWhy curiosity, not judgement, is the key to emotional freedomThe role of plant medicine in uncovering unconscious wounds (and why it's not for everyone)This episode is a reminder that healing isn't about becoming a “better” version of yourself — it's about coming home to who you really are, including the parts you've been taught to hide.If you've ever felt stuck on your healing journey, struggled with people-pleasing, or sensed there's more beneath the surface… this conversation will challenge, validate, and expand your perspective.

On this episode of Fostering Change, Rob Scheer is joined by Jennifer Griffith, author of Both Sides of Then: Finding Love After Abandonment and host of the About Your Mother podcast.This conversation centers on a deeply personal and universal question: how much of who we become is shaped by the relationship we have—or don't have—with our mother?Jennifer's memoir explores abandonment, generational trauma, and the search for understanding and connection. While her story is not rooted in foster care, the themes resonate deeply. Many children in foster care experience separation from their biological parents, particularly their mothers, making this conversation especially relevant to identity, belonging, and emotional development.Together, Rob and Jennifer explore how early relationships shape us, how patterns are passed down, and how telling the truth about our stories can open the door to healing and transformation.Episode HighlightsHow maternal relationships influence identity and self-worthThe lasting emotional impact of abandonment and separationUnderstanding and breaking cycles of generational traumaWhy storytelling can be a powerful tool for healingHow these themes connect to the experiences of youth in foster careAbout the GuestJennifer Griffith is an author, speaker, and host of the About Your Mother podcast, where she explores the stories that shape identity and relationships.

In this warm, clinical-and-traditional conversation, Amy and Lisa explore how chanting and mantra practice can shape the autonomic nervous system and the mind through repetition, meaning, vibration, and relationship. Lisa shares her journey from clinical psychology leadership in pediatric behavioral health to yoga therapy and chanting in Europe, and she offers grounded guidance for meeting students exactly where they are—especially when voice, vulnerability, perfectionism, or skepticism show up.This episode holds a steady bridge between allopathic settings and yogic tradition: chanting as both a deeply ancient transmission method and a contemporary, accessible tool for resilience, co-regulation, and sustained inner change.In this episode, you'll hearWhy Yoga Sūtra 1.12 (abhyāsa + vairāgya) is a practical map for habit change, neuroplasticity, and healingHow abhyāsa can function like a “secure base” (attachment lens): a reliable place to return for steadinessHow vairāgya supports discernment and letting go—especially of limiting beliefs like “I can't chant” or “My voice isn't welcome”Why chanting can be done silently, anywhere, and how that matters when life gets stripped down to essentialsThe difference between mantra japa, kīrtan, and “therapeutic repetition” versus compulsive repetitionHow teachers build a safe, predictable container where practice becomes possible—even for tender nervous systemsWhat it means to keep mantra “alive” through oral transmission, practice, and continuity across generationsReal talk about resistance: voice, self-consciousness, perfectionism, and how practice mirrors our livesA moving reflection on how relational rupture can impact practice—and how reconnection can unfold over time Core teachings that stood outAbhyāsa as a secure baseLisa reframes abhyāsa as more than discipline. It becomes an inner home you can trust—something you return to when the world is loud, when your mind is moving fast, or when life is uncertain.Vairāgya as discernment, not detachmentVairāgya is the “letting go” side of change: releasing old impressions, beliefs, and protective habits that no longer serve. In this episode, it shows up as the courage to experiment—without over-identifying with fear, shame, or “I can't.”Mantra as a multi-layered interventionMeaning, vibration, rhythm, breath rate, imagery/bhāvana, memory, and relationship all converge. When the whole system aligns, the “new track” becomes easier to lay down—steadily and over time.The teacher's job is to match the doseLisa offers a clinical yoga therapy lens: choose repetition amounts and methods that fit the person's capacity, life context, and readiness. Sustainable practice matters more than idealized practice.Voice is a clinical doorwayChanting can bring up themes of safety, expression, shame, silencing, and self-trust. Rather than forcing exposure, Lisa models progressive steps—silent practice, practicing “on mute,” or starting with simple sounds—so expression becomes possible.Practical takeaways you can tryChoose a “minimum viable” mantra practice you can keep: 3 repetitions, 11 repetitions on fingers, or a partial mala with a clear stopping point.Decide the purpose of repetition before you begin: regulation, steadiness, devotion, confidence, or easing fear.Use choice points (listen only, chant silently, chant softly) to reduce performance pressure and build safety.Notice what your resistance protects—then bring abhyāsa to the edge of that resistance, gently and consistently.Let mantra become familiar enough that it appears on its own when you need it—like a trusted inner companion.About LisaLisa is a yoga therapist and clinical psychologist with decades of leadership experience in pediatric behavioral health and integrative hospital settings. Now based in the Netherlands, she teaches and offers yoga therapy and yoga psychotherapy, integrating mind, body, and spirit with clinical discernment and deep respect for lineage.Lisa joins us from near The Hague and Leiden, within an hour of Amsterdam.Connect with LisaWebsite: LifeTreeYogaRecorded classes: available via her YouTube channel (integrated 90-minute practices)Ongoing option: online group class on Fridays + private yoga therapy / yoga psychotherapy sessions onlineConnect with Amy www.TheOptimalState.comSchool of Integrative Health at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health Master of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU:https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification #IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool

Can a devastating injury actually be a gateway to a new life? Cheri Carandanis' life story reads like two different books. For 25 years, Cheri lived in the high-stakes world of nursing, including a tour as a US Air Force critical care flight nurse during the height of the Iraq War. She was a self-proclaimed "Type A" professional who lived for the adrenaline of saving lives at 30,000 feet. Then, the world went dark. After suffering two traumatic brain injuries in six months, the cognitive skills Cheri relied on to survive vanished. Forced to abandon the only career she ever knew, she stumbled upon an unlikely lifeline: abstract art. In this episode, we unpack: The "Ungraceful Pivot": Why Cheri describes her career change not as a choice, but as "getting knocked flat" and rebuilding from the rubble. The Science of Healing: How shifting from the damaged "logical" left brain to the "creative" right brain became a literal survival mechanism. Art as a Second Language: How a woman who couldn't draw a stick figure became a professional painter by using color and texture to process trauma. Finding Presence: The powerful lesson of staying in the "now" when you can no longer rely on who you were yesterday.

You've tried everything to regulate your nervous system…Breathwork.Meditation.Journaling.Morning routines.And maybe they help… a little.But you still feel:Anxious or on edgeOverstimulated easilyTired but wiredLike your digestion flares easily Like you just can't handle stress anymoreSo you start wondering…“Why isn't this working for me?”In this episode, we're diving into a missing piece of the nervous system conversation that almost no one is talking about:

In this episode, I sit down with Ariel Lorre to talk about something that I think a lot of people quietly wrestle with — how you rebuild your life when you realize the path you're on isn't working.Ariel shares her story of addiction, recovery, and what it actually takes to change—not just externally, but internally.From the outside, she had what most people would consider a stable, even ideal upbringing. But internally, she felt disconnected, uncomfortable in her own skin, and constantly searching for something to quiet that noise.What started as a way to feel more at ease eventually turned into a decade-long struggle with addiction.We talk about:Why addiction doesn't always look the way people expectThe role sensitivity plays in both struggle and healingHow alcohol and drugs can become a form of self-regulationWhat it actually takes to get sober—and why timing mattersThe “gift of desperation” and hitting a true turning pointRebuilding trust with yourself and othersThe concept of living amends and earning your way forward through actionHow to begin discovering who you are when everything familiar is stripped awayThe difference between self-improvement and controlNavigating beauty, aging, and identity in a world that constantly tells you to fix yourselfAriel also shares how meditation, curiosity, and learning to sit with herself became foundational in her recovery—and how that process continues to evolve.This conversation is really about identity, honesty, and permission.Permission to change.Permission to not have it all figured out.And permission to become someone new.Produced by Dear Media.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

“It's not your fault… but it is your responsibility to heal.”That sentence can feel both comforting and confronting — especially in motherhood.In this episode, we break down the core message from The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck and what it really means for moms who are carrying past wounds, postpartum struggles, anxiety, or emotional burnout.Because motherhood doesn't start from scratch — it often exposes everything we've been carrying.We talk about:The difference between blame and responsibilityWhy moms are giving too much emotional energy to the wrong thingsHow people-pleasing and perfectionism keep us stuckWhat it actually looks like to take ownership of your healingHow doing your own inner work impacts your kids in powerful waysThis episode isn't about guilt.It's about empowerment.You didn't choose every experience that shaped you.But you can choose what you do with it now.✨ Stop giving energy to shame✨ Start choosing growth over perfection✨ Become the mom who heals — not just for herself, but for her familyIf you've ever felt stuck between “this isn't my fault” and “I don't know how to change,” this conversation will meet you right in the middle — with honesty, hope, and a path forward.

Episode SummaryIn this episode, Keana explores one of the most misunderstood parts of healing after a breakup or divorce: closure. We often believe closure is something another person gives us a final conversation, an apology, or an explanation that makes everything make sense. But closure is an internal process, not an external event. Keana breaks down why closure isn't always possible, why it isn't always healthy to seek it, and how you can create your own emotional resolution without reopening old wounds.This conversation is grounded, compassionate, and trauma-informed designed to help you release the pressure to get answers from someone who may not be capable of giving them.Recap of Last Week's EpisodeLast week, we talked about how to heal after a toxic relationship. We explored how toxic dynamics impact your sense of self, how to rebuild trust with yourself, and how to move forward without carrying the emotional residue of the past. This week's episode builds on that foundation by addressing the desire for closure that often follows toxic or painful relationships.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeThe difference between the idea of closure and what it actually doesWhy closure isn't always possible, especially with emotionally unavailable or toxic partnersWhy you don't need closure from the other person to healWhat you're really seeking when you think you want closureHealthy alternatives to traditional closureWhen seeking closure can harm your healingHow to reframe closure as an act of self-respectReflection questions to help you create your own emotional resolutionKey TakeawaysClosure is an internal process, not something someone else gives you.You don't need an apology or explanation to move forward.Seeking closure from someone who hurt you can reopen wounds or keep you stuck.You can create your own closure through reflection, boundaries, and self-compassion.Choosing yourself is the real closure.Reflection QuestionsUse these prompts to deepen your healing after the episode:What do I believe closure will give me?What am I afraid will happen if I move on without it?What truths do I already know about the relationship?What boundaries do I need to protect my healing?What version of closure can I create for myself?Special AnnouncementKeana's alter ego, Emory Rose, is releasing her first mini drop on March 27th, available on all streaming platforms.
