"Healed" Now What?
Let's build healthier and more fullfilling lives and relationships.
A podcast where we investigate human connections, intimate relationships, and the transformation that comes from uncovering who really we, beyond the hurt we’ve experienced.
We will explore a roadmap for healing, life beyond trauma and self-discovery. We go on a journey of the human experience and what it is like to heal in the modern world. We explore different viewpoints and discoveries in relationships, mental, emotional, and physical health as well as how spirituality plays a role in all of these things.
This show features heart - to - heart conversations with authors, healers, coaches, entrepreneurs, experts and everyday folks about what led them to their biggest healing transformations and greatest ah-ha moments.
Pull up a chair and open your heart, mind and ears as we explore how to create lasting change.
