Episode 25 | Learning to Feel What We’ve Been Avoiding: The Gateway to Real Joy

In this powerful solo episode, Lisa shares the real story behind her move to Hawaii—and the emotional unraveling and healing that followed. What began as a physical relocation became an initiation into deeper self-trust, emotional maturity, and nervous system safety. Through vivid metaphors of oceans, walls, and waves, Lisa invites listeners to see their triggers not as problems, but as access points to healing the wounds they’ve carried for far too long.

What you’ll learn

Why big life changes expose emotional wounds that were already there
The difference between suppression and repression—and how they impact your body
How triggers act as invitations to heal, not signs something is wrong
Why safety is required before deep emotional healing can happen
How self-rejection shows up as feeling rejected by others—and how to break that cycle
