Greetings Adult-Child,

Welcome to another Adult-Child in recovery podcast with my special guest Meghan Margherio.

In this episode, we joined hearts & spoke about Meghan’s new memoir called “Everwoven” where she openly & candidly spoke about her own chaotic childhood trauma and shared how despite the abuse & neglect she experienced in the past, she has found ways to find her joy and move beyond survival into hope, strength & recovery.

MEGAN MARGHERIO is a trauma-informed embodiment coach and the founder of a growing movement to help survivors and sensitive souls reclaim presence, possibility and a sense of home within themselves. Her work lives at the intersection of lived experience and integrative healing, shaped by her own journey through childhood trauma, estrangement, complex PTSD, and the long, slow work of coming back to life.

Through writing, somatic practices and soul-centered work, Margherio creates spaces where truth can be spoken, grief can be held, and joy can return — gently and on your own terms. She leads retreats, group programs and healing experiences that honor both the tenderness and resilience of trauma survivors, helping them reconnect to their stories, their bodies and their belonging. Find out more about Margherio & order your copy of her inspiring book on her website https://meghanmargherio.com

What if the chaos we see in the world is simply the unhealed wounds of childhood — scaled up?

In this soul-stirring episode of the Adult-Children in Recovery Podcast, Vandana Atara Noorah welcomes back Phyllis Leavitt — author of America in Therapy, speaker, and psychotherapist — for a conversation that moves from the deeply personal to the profoundly global.

Phyllis reveals:

• How writing saved her during a chaotic, dysfunctional childhood — and how it became her path to healing
• Why she believes we are at a precarious moment in human history that demands big ideas and bigger solutions
• The little-known psychological secrets behind how we arrived at this cultural precipice — and what keeps us here
• Why the same therapeutic tools that heal individuals and families can heal communities, corporations, governments, and nations
• How universal loving kindness and compassion in community — free from shame and self-blame — is not naïve idealism but practical healing strategy

Vandana also shares how her Inner Child Reiki Practitioner Program supports adult-children in doing this exact work — building safety from the inside out.

This is an episode about HOPE — real, grounded, hard-won hope.

In this episode of the Spiritual Warrior Coach Podcast, I sit down with Barbara Saven to share my journey of healing childhood trauma, breaking generational patterns, and reconnecting with my inner voice.

I speak openly about growing up in a dysfunctional home, experiencing emotional neglect, and how those early experiences shaped my relationships and kept me in survival mode for years.

But this is also a story of transformation.

Through deep inner work, spiritual practice, and energy healing, I was able to:

• Reparent my inner child
• Release ancestral trauma stored in my body
• Regulate my nervous system
• Step into my purpose as a healer

In this episode, we explore:
✨ How childhood trauma follows us into adulthood
✨ Why we stay stuck in fear, codependency, and survival patterns
✨ How to begin healing emotional wounds safely
✨ The connection between ancestral trauma and your life today
✨ How to trust your intuition and reconnect with your higher self

Your healing journey is possible.

Your past does not define you.

And you have the power to become the cycle breaker for your lineage.

Greetings Adult Child,

In this latest episode, I sat down with my friend & mentor Leslie about the danger of gaslighting & emotionally invalidating your feelings. As survivors of childhood stress, neglect & trauma, most of us are taught to never speak our truth or trust our feelings which often lead to physical, mental & emotional suffering. This way of living locks us up in an endless looping system of self-abuse vs self-acceptance.

If you can relate, this conversation may help you remember that in every moment, your feelings are subject to change and as long as you speak clearly, kindly & compassionately with others & with yourself, you no longer need to seek approval or external validation from others, get gaslit by others and mostly gaslight and lie to ourselves.

About my guest:

Leslie Lindsey Davis is a bestselling author, popular speaker, and creator of the Emotional Honesty Framework. She helps people recognize and trust their emotions—especially when they’ve spent years being told what they feel is wrong. Her work focuses on the connection between emotional invalidation and the habits we develop to cope, including patterns like emotional eating, self-doubt, and staying silent when something doesn’t feel right.

Leslie is also the author of several books, including You Can’t Eat Love and her newest release,Your Shirt Was Always Pink, which explores how we learn to question our own emotional truth—and how to begin trusting it again.

Through her writing, speaking, and workshops, she helps people understand what they’re actually feeling, where it comes from, and how good it feels when you allow your voice to be heard, seen, and witnessed.

To begin the process of trusting, owning & honoring your feelings, visit her website at https://leslielindseydavis.com/leslie-lindsey-davis--emotional-healing-honest-conversations-and-se

In this heart-centered and expansive conversation, I open up about my path of awakening and the work I’m devoted to—supporting deep remembrance, embodiment, and soul-level healing.

We explore what it truly means to come home to yourself beyond conditioning, trauma, and inherited identities. I share how healing becomes sustainable when we shift out of the mind and back into the body, into present-moment awareness, where real transformation happens. At the core of this dialogue is remembrance—remembering who you are beneath the layers, and why this is a foundational part of the human experience.

This episode is for anyone navigating a spiritual path, moving through personal healing, or feeling the inner call to reconnect with their true essence.
