In this powerful episode of the Growth Now Movement, I sit down with my good friend Christy Forsyth—a licensed mental health counselor, certified clinical hypnotherapist, intuitive, and life coach—for a raw and transformative conversation about healing, energy, and spiritual growth. Christy takes us through her incredible evolution from a traditional therapist working in mental health clinics to becoming the founder of Soul Therapy, a dynamic approach that fuses clinical psychology with spirituality, energy work, and intuitive guidance. Her journey is one of courage, authenticity, and divine alignment—proving that you don't have to choose between science and spirit. You can integrate both. We explore her early experiences with intuitive gifts, how she used to suppress them in fear of being misunderstood, and how embracing those gifts allowed her to help clients on a deeper level. Christy shares the story of her spiritual awakening, what it looked like to break free from the limitations of traditional therapy, and how she now supports people in stepping into alignment, raising their vibration, and creating a life of purpose. If you're someone who's felt the call to connect deeper with your intuition, explore energy healing, or find a path that combines mental wellness with spiritual truth, this episode is for you. What You'll Learn in This Episode: Christy's transition from clinical therapy to launching her own spiritual wellness brand What “Soul Therapy” is and how it bridges science and spirit How to recognize and develop your intuition—even if you've ignored it for years Tools for raising your energetic frequency and creating a more magnetic life The connection between mental health, energy blocks, and spiritual awakening How to ground your spiritual gifts and integrate them into everyday life Why balancing spiritual expansion with earthly experiences is key to living fulfilled Who This Episode Is For: Seekers on a spiritual journey Therapists and coaches who feel called to work beyond the traditional box Empaths and intuitives who want to understand their energy and gifts Entrepreneurs seeking soul-aligned business strategies Anyone looking for practical steps to live a more aligned and fulfilling life

In this powerful and deeply human episode, Lisa is joined by two internationally recognized leaders in the field of complex trauma and dissociation—Ana Gómez and Jill Hosey—for a heartfelt conversation about their monumental new release: The Handbook of Complex Trauma and Dissociation in Children. More than just a book discussion, this episode offers a reverence-based reframe of dissociation—not as pathology, but as a brilliant, adaptive survival strategy used by children navigating overwhelming experiences. Ana and Jill share their personal insights from editing this groundbreaking 900+ page volume, which weaves together theory, research, clinical case work, and embodied practices from over 60 contributors. Together, they explore the profound responsibility therapists carry—not only to understand dissociation in their clients but to honor how it arises in their own inner worlds. You'll hear candid reflections on what it means to be a regulated presence in the therapy room, how fear of dissociation may show up in clinicians, and how co-regulation becomes the foundation for relational healing. Whether you're just beginning to explore the topic of dissociation or are a seasoned trauma therapist, this episode invites you to shift from fear to curiosity—from fragmentation to integration.

Why It's Hard for Therapists to Be Friends Curt and Katie chat about why therapists often struggle with friendships—especially with non-therapists. They explore the impact of emotional labor, overidentifying as caretakers, and the challenges of setting boundaries and expressing needs in personal relationships. Key Takeaways: Therapists often default to caretaking in friendships, especially if they have a history of being “the helper.” Emotional exhaustion from client work can make socializing difficult. Confidentiality and identity boundaries limit what therapists can share about their day. Friendships become healthier when therapists drop the therapist role and prioritize reciprocity. Intentional communication and boundary-setting help create sustainable relationships.

This week we're discussing The One Relationship That Could Be Key to Your Healing.   Too many of us were taught that trusting ourselves was dangerous. We were told our emotions couldn't be trusted, our hearts were deceitful, and our instincts were too “fleshly” to follow. Especially for solo parents who have lived through trauma or spiritual manipulation, this message gets internalized early and reinforced often. We stop listening to our gut and outsource decisions to experts, church leaders, or even social media. But ignoring your inner voice only deepens confusion and disconnection. Therapist and podcast host Adam Young joins us this week to help unpack how we unlearn those harmful messages, rebuild trust in our bodies, and begin listening to the voice within. Today, we cover three main points: Why you've learned not to trust yourself, and how to gently unlearn it. How to tell the difference between your true inner voice and trauma-driven urges. Practices to rebuild trust in your body and story.   Resources Mentioned In This Episode Make Sense of Your Story: Why Engaging Your Story With Kindness Changes Everything by Adam Young  The Place We Find Ourselves hosted by Adam Young: A podcast focused on trauma, healing, attachment, and story work. Specifically mentioned is a two-part series on our relationship with our bodies. adamyoungcounseling.com: Find more about Adam's work, resources, and podcast episodes.

Today, we're honored to welcome Kristin Jones, a seasoned occupational therapist from Mooresville, North Carolina, whose career reflects both deep compassion and bold innovation in the service of neurodivergent children. Kristin brings 24 years of clinical and educational experience, including the past 14 spent working in a K-12 public charter school. Recently, she shifted gears in the most personal of ways—taking time away from school-based therapy to homeschool her daughter, who has Down Syndrome. Kristin earned her Master of Occupational Therapy from Misericordia University in 2000 and has spent her career supporting children and families across a broad spectrum of settings from early intervention and outpatient sensory clinics to schools and feeding therapy. Her passion lies in translating complex concepts from brain development and the Autistic lived experience into practical, accessible strategies for educators. In addition to her clinical work, Kristin is committed to the education of future therapists. She serves as adjunct faculty at Misericordia University and teaches with Education Resources Inc. Her presentations with the Therapist Neurodiversity Collective reflect her ongoing mission to uplift neurodivergent voices and move beyond outdated therapeutic norms. Kristin's voice is one of clarity and respect for children, for families, and for the evolving science of how we learn, communicate, and thrive. Let's dive in, Dr. M

In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what coaching can really do for you — especially if you're a therapist, first-gen Latina, daughter of immigrants, creative, or service provider who wants more time, income, calendar space, and the freedom to fully express your gifts through your work. This conversation is for the woman who feels boxed in by the traditional therapy career path, who has built a “successful” life that no longer fits, and who is craving a business that honors her values, culture, creativity, and desire for a simpler and more spacious schedule of aligned dream clients. I share my own journey of walking away from traditional therapy work to reclaim freedom in my calendar, income, nervous system, and self-expression — building a coaching business that allows me to work on my terms. Here's What You'll Learn: Why coaching is a powerful path to freedom for therapists, healers, and service providers How therapy's limits around ethics, state limits, emotional labor, and neutrality keep first generation therapists boxed in — and why coaching offers a liberating alternative A real-life client story of a private practice therapist who added coaching to her work, reduced her workweek to three days, prioritized wellness and creativity, and attracted her first dream coaching client by sharing her story. The exact framework I use to help my clients transition from therapist to CEO of a sustainable, freedom-based coaching business: Identity Activation: Shedding therapist conditioning and stepping into your CEO identity Offer Clarity & Simplicity: Designing an aligned coaching offer that helps you feel proud and that you actually want to market Selling with Safety: Learning to sell in a way that honors your nervous system and your values I also share three simple steps you can take right now to start moving toward freedom.

After a botchy IG Live when I couldn't SEE Esin, this was delicious to LOOK into her beautiful eyes and connect heart to heart. Erin is a Holistic Psychologist, LCSW, Addiction Professional, and Relationship Expert.  We dove right into our shared experiences of Female Friendship & Betrayal. While many think breaking up with a boyfriend or husband is intense… we both agreed that the heartbreak of female friendship betrayals and the pain of sisterhood ruptures can be even more intense… perhaps because you don't see them coming.  We both opened up about how early family roles and codependent tendencies and how that has shaped our adult relationships, and how needing constant reassurance or connection with others can lead to losing a sense of self. It was so nourishing to connect with Esin about the complexities of therapeutic relationships, how deeply intimate and soul-connected they can become, and the struggle to maintain healthy boundaries without losing authenticity or care. We both have historically over-given to clients at the cost of our own well-being. I shared how my mentors have taught me self-first care vs. selfless care, and how time off and new practices like a month's sabbatical in Spain, flamenco dancing is helping me reclaim joy and balance. As two single women, we highlighted the importance of building friendships and romantic relationships outside of work and stop over-relying on our careers for fulfillment. We lovingly challenged each other to actively create more space for personal relationships and fun. I shared a playfully structured approach with ways I'm reparenting my inner self—including having “dinner” with her inner masculine and feminine, and putting a cardboard Jason Mamoa in my home to prompt sensual self-practices! (Decided on the poster, not the full-size cardboard after all xox)  Our conversation was deeply personal, with both of us modeling vulnerability, acknowledging our wounds, and laughing through the shared journey of learning to love and care for ourselves more fully. Some bumper sticker takeaways include..."If I avoid love, I avoid pain. But if I avoid pain, I also avoid love.” "We don't want to dismantle codependency in a way where we demonize it—we just want to harness it differently.” "The source of my wholeness needs to come from inside-out, not outside-in." This episode is a beautiful, raw, and deeply human exploration of the messy, courageous journey of reclaiming self-worth, intimacy, and joy—especially for those, like Esin and I, who help others for a living. It's a reminder that even the most evolved coaches and therapists are still growing, too. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

In this eye-opening episode, I sit down with my co-founders from the Integrative Psychology Institute - Adam Carney, President & Co-Founder of the Institute For Integrative Trauma, and Molly Mendoza, Founder of the Integrative Psychology Institute. We expose the critical flaws in traditional therapy education and reveal our revolutionary 18-month masters program that's changing everything.  Discover why most therapists graduate unprepared for real-world practice, how our competency-based model prioritizes embodied learning over test performance, and why addressing biology alongside psychology is essential for true healing.  We explore the connection between authenticity and nervous system regulation, how business can be a mirror for personal growth, and why the future of therapy requires practitioners who have mastered their own embodied presence first. If you're interested in mental health, considering therapy training, or curious about the intersection of psychology, biology, and spirituality, this episode reveals a completely new paradigm for healing.
