The Light Within: Embodied Nervous System Healing for Spiritual Women
The Light Within is a podcast for high-functioning, spiritually curious women who are ready to stop abandoning themselves and step into embodied self-leadership.
Hosted by Leslie Draffin - trauma-informed somatic practitioner, psychedelic microdosing guide, and former television news anchor - this show explores what it actually takes to heal your nervous system, rebuild self-trust, and reclaim your embodied power.
Because many successful women look calm and capable on the outside… while their nervous system is quietly living in survival mode.
Inside these short, powerful episodes we explore:
• nervous system healing for women
• burnout and the hidden patterns of self-abandonment
• somatic practices for emotional regulation
• womb wisdom and feminine embodiment
• intuition, expansion, and sacred psychedelic medicine
You’ll also hear conversations with therapists, healers, coaches, and thought leaders exploring the messy, beautiful, and sometimes taboo ways women reclaim their embodied sovereign power.
This show isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who the f*ck you are and learning how to trust your body again.
Welcome to The Light Within.

75. Tackling the Root Causes of your Acne with Mia Monconduit
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this week's episode, Integrative Health Practitioner & Holistic Acne Specialist Mia Monconduit shares some of the REAL reasons you may have acne & why the things you're doing right now, AREN'T WORKING!
We discuss:
- Mia's acne story
- why she focuses solely on helping people tackle their skin problems
- the top root causes of acne (including ones you've probably NEVER considered)
- why the top "prescribed" methods for clearing your skin - aren't working!
Mia's Bio:
Mia is an Integrative Health Practitioner who specializes in holistic acne healing. She created her Clear Skin Accelerator service because it is EXACTLY what she needed when she experienced acne for the first time in her life, after she stopped taking birth control. Before she created this service she struggled with her skin for a year and a half. After creating her Clear Skin Accelerator, which identifies and addresses the root cause of acne, she cleared her skin in only three months! She now uses this same process to identify and address the root cause of her acne clients.
