Send us a textHave you ever wondered why you feel heavy, stuck, or off—despite doing everything “right”?In this soul-illuminating episode of The Soul-Led CEO, trauma-informed therapist, scientist, and former FTSE 250 executive Dr Amen Kaur offers a powerful reframe: Trauma isn't just what happened to you. It's what your body did to survive. And chances are, it's still running in the background—shaping your nervous system, your sense of worth, and how you show up in leadership, business, and relationships.This episode is a permission slip for high-achieving, spiritually-conscious women who are tired of chasing “normal.” Because let's be honest—what even is normal?Amen unpacks how trauma hides in plain sight: in perfectionism, overgiving, people-pleasing, and the constant push to prove you're enough. Through science-backed insights and personal storytelling, she explains why trauma healing isn't about fixing what's broken—it's about witnessing what's been carrying you for too long, and gently laying it down.If success has come at the cost of your nervous system, your joy, or your voice… this conversation will land like a breath of truth. You'll discover how reclaiming safety within your body unlocks presence, prosperity, and the energy to finally live—and lead—from wholeness.✨ Think of it like rebooting your internal system. Less performance, more presence. Less survival, more soul.You're not broken. You're becoming.Ready for more soul-led science and embodied expansion?

The episode you've all been waiting for... let's talk modern love and relationships! We discuss the common themes in modern dating and how we have to work to unlearn and heal through our 20s and 30s. I explain why you often hear phrases like "Work on yourself" or "Don't chase, attract" or "He'll come when you're not looking" and the hard truths behind it. Then I discuss the hardships of healing in a healthy relationship when all you know is toxicity and emotional abuse. Lastly, I give you a sneak peek into what future dating-related episode topics will be on from funny stories to sexcapades to navigating a long-term partnership.And if all of this was overwhelming or not quite there yet, as I am only 30, don't hate me.

Can childhood aggression be an unexpected plea for help rather than a precursor to a violent future? Join us as we welcome Davina Hehn, a respected behavioral analyst, to shed light on the nuances of child aggression, particularly in the tumultuous waters of high-conflict separations. Together, we unravel the complex web of emotions that children might express as aggression due to their struggle for communication and emotional regulation. Listen in as Davina shares her expertise on why this behavior is more about a cry for understanding than a predictor of future violence, and how recognizing problematic adolescent aggression can serve as a crucial step in offering the right support.Family dynamics play a pivotal role in addressing aggression, and this episode uncovers the importance of involving the entire family in the therapeutic journey. We discuss how aggression often stems from feelings of isolation and how taking away a child's communication tools can exacerbate these feelings. We offer practical strategies to help families create a cohesive support network that includes trusted mentors and adults, emphasizing open communication to prevent escalation and foster mutual growth. Delve into the discussion on how transparent conversations about significant decisions, like sending a child away, can maintain a child's sense of agency and security.In times of crisis, finding the right response can make all the difference. Here, we highlight the benefits of mobile mental health crisis centers and creating a supportive care team over traditional police involvement, which can sometimes intensify conflicts. Our conversation touches on the power of community support and the impact of parental narratives on child behavior, encouraging proactive crisis planning and engaging children in discussions about trust. As we wrap up, Davina, also known as Aady Space, shares her mission of helping others find balance, inviting listeners to explore her compelling online presence for more guidance in navigating life's challenges.

Send us a textYour toxic relationships, stubborn cravings, and intrusive thoughts might not even be your own. This is a unique podcast episode because it's an excerpt from a podcast where I was the one being interviewed (by fellow intuitive / healer Manouk Vink). I share my journey into the world of intuitive healing – a path that began when my young daughter started seeing "shadow people" in her bedroom. I also talk about my childhood encounters with dark energies, from being physically pulled from my bed by unseen forces to witnessing Ouija boards moving independently. These experiences ultimately led her to develop powerful modalities for helping others disconnect from energetic attachments that keep them stuck in cycles of pain and limitation.The conversation demystifies how energetic cords and hooks work in our relationships, explaining how we unconsciously exchange emotions, thoughts, and even soul pieces with others. I also reveal that even seemingly innocent actions like complaining about an ex on social media create energetic rituals with real consequences. When we remain connected to past relationships, we're literally carrying fragments of other people within our energy fields – making it impossible to fully heal and move forward.I also share my perspective on difficult relationships as soul contracts. I explain that those who hurt us most in this lifetime may have been souls who deeply loved us in past lives, volunteering to play challenging roles that catalyze our growth. This reframing transforms our understanding of pain and trauma, revealing the perfect design behind our most difficult experiences.For mothers especially, I offer game-changing wisdom on prioritizing self-care without guilt. My "37 minutes" technique for giving undivided attention while maintaining strong personal boundaries demonstrates how self-prioritization ultimately creates happier, healthier families.This conversation isn't just theoretical – it's filled with practical techniques for distinguishing between your thoughts and external influences, cutting energetic cords, and reclaiming your authentic power. If you've ever felt inexplicably drawn to unhealthy relationships or situations, this episode illuminates the invisible forces that might be at play and offers a pathway to true energetic sovereignty.To start on your own path, make sure to grab a 1:1 here.Support the showJoin Unveiled - The Membership here.

If you've ever found yourself stuck in a one-sided relationship—where you're the fixer, the rescuer, the peacekeeper—this episode is your wake-up call. In this powerful episode, best-selling author and codependency recovery expert Lisa A. Romano uncovers the invisible thread between childhood emotional neglect and codependent behaviors in adulthood. If you: Feel overly responsible for other people's emotions Stay in toxic relationships hoping things will change Obsess over your partner's moods Feel like you've lost your sense of self ...you're not broken. You're running survival patterns wired into your nervous system long ago—when love meant self-abandonment, and your feelings didn't matter. This isn't your fault. But now that you know, it becomes your power. Lisa explains how codependency is a subconscious trauma response rooted in unmet emotional needs and a lack of safety in childhood. We mistakenly learn that love must be earned through fixing others—especially the ones who hurt us. But this only perpetuates the pain and draws us toward emotionally unavailable or narcissistic partners. In this episode, you'll discover:  How early childhood trauma wires your brain for codependency  Why rescuing others is a subconscious survival strategy  Why narcissists and toxic partners are drawn to codependents  How to spot the thinking traps of codependency  Actionable steps to reconnect with your authentic self Whether you're healing from a codependent marriage or waking up to your past for the first time, this episode will help you break free from emotional enmeshment and start living from a place of empowerment and emotional clarity.

We expect them to choose wisely when they become adults but their emotional state haven't even been developed yet. All the things they could have went through as a teenager and would have been taught through they are now learning in their twenties either in college or out in the world with no life jacket and no supervision.

In this raw episode of Chatting With Candice, host Candice Horabcz sits down with relationship expert Stefanos Sifandos to explore the uncomfortable truths about modern relationships. They dive into why most relationships are actually trauma bonds disguised as love, the polarity dynamics that make or break attraction, and how childhood wounds create masks that destroy intimacy. Stefanos breaks down why vulnerability can kill attraction if done wrong, the difference between codependence and healthy interdependence, and what it actually takes to break free from unconscious patterns. This isn't typical relationship advice - it's brutal honesty about building relationships that thrive instead of just survive.Check out Stefanos Sifandos' socials: https://link.me/stefanossifandosCheck out Candice's socials and WebsiteFollow Candice Horbacz on socials: link.me/candicehorbaczSupport The Podcast on Patreon: http://patreon.com/candicehorbacz

ALL human brains are wired for safety.  But because of the childhood trauma and dysfunctional patterns you grew up with, that wiring is intensified in your brain.  ‘Creating safety' is what guides ALL your decisions, to the point that it's prioritized over achieving new goals (like weight loss).  The core issue is that safety feels OUT of your control;  You don't realize it, but you learned to rely on an UNSTABLE person to create that sense of safety, which only leaves you pleasing and appeasing, trying to manage someone else's volatile emotions and actions.  Not only has this rewired your brain, but it's conditioned your nervous system to live in such a heightened state of fight/flight.  It's time to break the cycle.  If you truly want to lose weight and keep it off for life, you have to first HEAL your core wounds, heal your relationship with food, and heal your relationship with yourself.  I'll show you how.  Schedule your free Break the Cycle Call and I'll help you better understand how these cycles play out in your own life, so that you know exactly where and how to break them.  www.bodyyoucrave.com/btc   PS - I'm on a mission to help 30 people lose 30 pounds this year!

Through her work with preschoolers, adolescents, and adults, Gloria unravels the complexities behind societal expectations that often suppress the natural emotional range boys are born with, impacting their capacity to form deep, intimate connections as they mature.Our discussion navigates the critical role of authenticity in relationships, particularly within the dynamics of co-parenting and negotiation. Gloria sheds light on the societal pressures demanding fearlessness and competence from boys, and how these pressures diverge from the expectations set for girls. We also tackle the nuanced experiences of gender-fluid children and the educational system's part in exploring gender identity. Moreover, we introduce a creative journaling concept that encourages self-expression beyond mere words, highlighting the therapeutic power of art in emotional processing. This episode challenges perceptions and inspires a broader understanding of emotional expression across life's various dimensions.

To thrive after narcissistic abuse, you will need to change your entire mindset toward narcissistic people in your life. The key to maintaining your sanity is not to take their attempts at baiting you into circular conversations where they get to act out their need to persecute others with self-righteous indignation. If you confuse love with guilt and obligation, and especially if you have high empathy and struggle to end toxic relationships due to abandonment issues, letting go can trigger complex trauma symptoms such as a burning brain, heart palpitations, brain fog, mental confusion, and emotional paralysis. One of the most difficult things in the world to accept is that sometimes the people you love are built to not hear you, although their words may say otherwise. When dealing with a high-conflict person, you will notice that they escalate drama, problems, and issues in relationships instead of de-escalating them. Narcissists need flying monkeys, and the more they have, the more emboldened they are to attack, confuse, persecute, vilify, diminish, and discard you or any feelings or opinions you have.  In this episode, Lisa A. Romano, Breakthrough Life Coach, explains why changing your mindset toward the narcissistic people in your life can preserve your sanity, no matter how tough it might be to accept and let go.  What is your peace of mind worth to you? If you are ready to take the journey within to heal the core issues that result in you're being entangled in narcissistic relationships, join Lisa and her team of seasoned life coaches this July for The 12 Week Breakthrough Journey back to the divine self.  Register early and save $500  Register Early and Gain Exclusive Access to Lisa

Emotional eating is such a common habit to have after experiencing an emotionally abusive or emotionally neglectful relationship.  Not just because we use food to escape difficult people and circumstances,  But because those dysfunctional relationships taught us that our emotions were wrong, bad, not allowed, or completely dismissed.  So even after you leave or change the relationship dynamic, you're still afraid of certain emotions. It's not safe to have them or feel them.  So what do you do? You eat to avoid them.  This is why it's ESSENTIAL to heal from toxic relationships if you want to be able to lose weight and never fear gaining it back again.   You need time, exposure, and practice thinking differently and telling yourself new stories, so that you can truly lose weight and keep it off for life.  And this is exactly what I'll help you do.  It's time to create the life and body you crave.

In this week's episode, both of our storytellers use a scientific lens to examine their worst relationships. Part 1: Carlos Maza uses the plague to analyze his brutal breakup. Part 2: Panagiota Vogdou refuses to see her boyfriend as toxic until a stranger on the bus tells her to go to therapy. Carlos Maza is a video journalist focusing on misinformation, media bias, and propaganda. He is the Director of Video at Media Matters for America. He has spent too much of his adult life writing about fascism and hate speech. He would much rather you tell him about you Dungeons & Dragons character. Panagiota was born in Kozani, Greece, and moved to Toronto, Canada, in 2015. She's a Greek teacher and a flight attendant, but her true passion lies in acting—and, of course, storytelling. Though she's based in Toronto, she's always ready to fly anywhere to share her stories. Panagiota has performed in community theatre both in Greece and in Toronto. In 2020, she discovered her love for storytelling, and since then, she's been sharing her stories onstage at shows like Replay Storytelling, The Story Collider, Tales Told Live, and But That's Another Story in Toronto—as well as Confabulation in Montreal.
