  • Awareness - My Body Gets a Voice, Too
    2026/08/30
    What happens when Awareness moves out of the mind and into the body?

    While studying Chakra Psychology and working toward staying rooted in the heart, Nadia begins noticing something she can no longer ignore: her body has been participating in the conversation all along.

    Against the backdrop of caregiving, motherhood, PTSD symptoms, nervous-system overload, physical pain, and an unexpected COVID diagnosis, this episode explores what Nadia describes as an embodied shift—the moment an insight stops being something we understand and begins changing how we actually live.

    Through the lens of Root Chakra work and the lower triangle of survival, attachment, and control, Nadia asks whether love and capacity might be two different things.

    Can we deeply love the people in our lives while acknowledging that our bodies have limits?
    Can we create boundaries without making someone else wrong?
    Can self-preservation actually be an expression of love?

    And what happens when we stop requiring our bodies to completely break down before we're willing to listen?

    Your body gets a voice, too.

  • Awareness - Who Inside Me Is Answering?
    2026/08/27
    Before asking, “What should I do?” what if we first asked, “Who inside me is answering?”

    In this deeply personal episode of Rising From Shame, Nadia explores the identities that can quietly make our decisions for us: the wounded child seeking approval, the Savior who needs to rescue, and the Warrior who has learned to survive by solving impossible problems.

    As Nadia wrestles with one of the hardest decisions of her life—how best to care for her aging mother—she begins recognizing how love, guilt, approval, sacrifice, and identity can become intertwined.

    What happens when the qualities that once helped us survive begin costing us our ability to fully live?

    This episode explores Awareness not as fixing or changing ourselves, but as learning to recognize who is driving before deciding where we're going.


    Maybe the Warrior doesn't need to die.

    Maybe she gets to rest.

    2026/08/12
    A new chapter begins. In this first episode of a new series, Nadia invite's you into her life as it's unfolding today—not just to share her story, but to explore what it means to bring greater awareness to shame, PTSD, caregiving, recovery, and the ordinary moments that continue to shape us. Together, we'll revisit lessons from Home Is Within You, introduce The Shame Shifter Method™, and begin practicing a different way of seeing ourselves—one rooted in consciousness, compassion, and love. Because perhaps the way we've learned to see ourselves... isn't the only way. Perhaps there's a whole different truth around the horizon.

  • Choosing Love One Moment at a Time: The Return Home (Ep 3 of 3 pt series)
    2026/07/27
    Episode 3: The Return Home What does it really mean to come home to yourself? In the final episode of the three-part series, Choosing Love One Moment at a Time, Nadia brings together the insights from The Choice, The Flow, and The Return Home to explore what healing looks like in everyday life. Through personal stories, trauma-informed psychology, spirituality, and lessons from nature, she shares why healing isn't about never being triggered—it's about learning to meet those moments with awareness, compassion, and choice. In this episode, you'll discover: Why triggers often reveal parts of ourselves that are asking to be seen rather than judged. How healthy boundaries can become "living fences" that protect what matters while allowing love to continue flowing. Why unconditional love doesn't require rescuing or controlling another person's journey. A simple, practical framework called The Shame Shifter Method™ to help you navigate life's most challenging moments. The Shame Shifter Method™ Awareness – Notice what is happening within you without judgment. Anticipation – Remind yourself that triggers are a normal part of healing and that you can move through them safely and calmly. Action – Take one small step that supports your nervous system, whether it's one deep breath, a pause, a healthy boundary, or asking for help. Healing doesn't happen all at once. It unfolds one breath, one response, and one compassionate choice at a time. May this episode encourage you to meet yourself with greater curiosity, greater freedom, and deeper compassion as you continue finding your way home. Welcome home... to the place within you where love never stopped waiting.

  • Choosing Love One Moment at aTime: The Flow, Pt 1
    2026/07/17
    What if you're not broken? What if energy just got stuck and is now ready to be released? In this Choosing Love One Moment at a Time: The Flow #1, Nadia explores how the natural flow of life, love, and connection get interrupted by old trauma wounds, shame, and survival patterns, and most importantly, why healing isn't about fixing ourselves, but learning to flow again. Inspired by the wisdom of the Costa Rican rainforest and grounded in her own trauma recovery, somatic healing, chakra psychology, twelve step work, and spirituality learnings, this episode invites US to see ourselves with new compassion. Together we'll explore: Why trauma isn't just what happened—it's where life stopped flowing through us. Why survival strategies that once protected us deserve compassion rather than shame. The power of being witnessed instead of judged. How healing begins with curiosity, not criticism. A three-step practice you can use the next time you're triggered.

  • Choosing Love One Moment at a Time; Ep 1, The Choice, Pt 3
    2026/07/14
    What if healing isn't about fixing the past, but choosing what moves forward through you? After an unforgettable journey to Costa Rica—following her mother's 91st birthday, her oldest son's college graduation, the emotional challenge, facing the possibility and heartbreak of her mothers placement into assisted living, and navigating family conflict—Nadia returns with one life-changing question: What energy will I choose to live in now? In this deeply personal episode, Nadia shares how the rainforest became an unexpected teacher, revealing that trauma is not simply what happened to us, but where life stopped flowing through us. Through stories of motherhood, recovery, Peter Levine's The Autobiography of Trauma, the wisdom of Pura Vida, and the profound realization that love without boundaries becomes self-abandonment, she explores how every trigger can become an invitation to heal. Together, we'll explore: Why our "character defects" may actually be survival adaptations waiting to be transformed. How generational trauma is carried through nervous systems—not just memories. The difference between rescuing someone and lovingly witnessing them. What it means to become "a home within" for yourself and those you love. How choosing love doesn't mean sacrificing yourself—it means allowing life to flow again. If you've ever struggled with shame, addiction, family wounds, caregiving, or wondering how to love difficult people without losing yourself, this conversation is an invitation to pause, breathe, and remember: Healing doesn't happen all at once. It happens one moment... one breath...one choice...at a time. Welcome home.
