In this episode of Hard Beautiful Journey, I’m introducing you to something deeply personal and powerful—the Healing Heart Journey framework. This seven-pillar guide is designed to help you navigate life’s toughest moments by reconnecting with yourself and restoring balance to your mind, body, and soul. Each pillar aligns with a chakra, creating a step-by-step approach to healing that’s as practical as it is transformative.

We’ll dive into each pillar, from grounding ourselves in Honor Your Body to finding connection in Find Your Tribe, all the way to nurturing our spiritual side with Nurture Your Soul. And don’t worry, I’m keeping it relatable and even a little funny—because healing can be a hard, beautiful journey, and we’re all in it together.

✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• The meaning and purpose behind the Healing Heart Journey framework
• How each of the seven pillars aligns with a chakra and supports your energy
• Real-life examples and practical actions you can take to integrate these pillars into your life
• The transformative power of loving your story and using your voice to heal

In this episode of Hard Beautiful Journey, I sit down with my longtime friend, Holli Hoffarth, a yoga instructor and somatic therapist-in-training. We dive deep into the powerful connection between our physical bodies and emotional well-being, discussing how trauma is stored in the body and how somatic practices like yoga and neurogenic tremors can help release deeply held tension.

Holli shares her own personal healing journey, from overcoming a major health setback after a hysterectomy to finding a deeper connection between the body and mind. She provides profound insights into how we can begin to Honour Our Bodies by tuning into our breath, listening to our body's signals, and letting go of tension and stress.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body or want to explore the ways in which physical movement and breath can lead to emotional healing, this episode is a must-listen.

Key Takeaways:

• How trauma lives in the body and can manifest as physical pain
• The role of breathwork in regulating emotions and healing
• The transformative power of neurogenic tremors and somatic practices
• Why listening to your body’s “yes” and “no” is essential to self-care

I did it!! I finished recording the audiobook format for my book "Dancing in the Rain"! Because I have been completely consumed with finishing this last part of my book journey, I haven't had time to produce a podcast episode.

Sooooo, I thought I would share the first 3 chapters of my book, in audio format!

I'd love to hear your thoughts on them. If you'd like to hear more, send me a message, let me know! I'd love your feedback. I may release 3 more later this week!
