Healthy vs. Wounded Energetics: Reclaiming Power, Love & Self-Trust with Dené Logan
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when our relationships are driven by wounded energetics instead of grounded, healthy power?
In this episode, I sit down with Dené Logan — therapist, group facilitator, and author of Sovereign Love — to unpack how wounded energetics show up in our relationships, our sense of self, and the ways we abandon our own needs to stay connected.
Dené shares how healthy energetics are rooted in self-trust, embodiment, and inner authority — not control, perfection, or being needed. We explore how somatic work helps us shift these patterns, why so many women were conditioned to earn love through performance, and how sovereignty in love is less about independence and more about conscious interdependence.
This conversation invites you to recognize where your energy is coming from, meet your shadows with compassion, and begin relating — to yourself and others — from a place of wholeness rather than wound.
In this episode, we explore:
- The difference between healthy vs. wounded energetics
- How self-abandonment forms, and how to interrupt it
- Why love often gets tangled with performance and people-pleasing
- The role of the body in reclaiming inner authority
- What sovereignty in love actually looks like in real life
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your truth or stuck in relational patterns that don’t reflect who you are becoming, this episode offers a powerful reframe and a way home to yourself.
