S5E10 In this heartfelt and wisdom‑filled conversation, I sit down with Alex Castillo, Christian coach, mentor, and long‑time leader of young athletes, to explore what it truly means to breathe life back into your marriage. Alex brings a grounded, faith‑centered perspective on connection, loyalty, desire, and the emotional patterns that quietly shape how couples love each other.We talk about the two things that kill desire and loyalty, how to strengthen your marriage through regulation and co‑regulation, and how to remove yourself and your spouse from fight, flight, freeze, and fawn so you can return to safety, softness, and partnership.Alex shares powerful insights on God’s design for marriage, the spiritual purpose of covenant, and why breathing life into your marriage begins with returning to the posture of serving one another the way Christ served.Connect with Alessandra Charlesworth | <a href="https://linktr.ee/alessandracharlesworth" rel="nofollow">https://linktr.ee/alessandracharlesworth</a>Connect with Alex Castillo | <a href="https://youtu.be/bBHXhbAupm0?si=OWBNXo4s1mi9YbU8" rel="nofollow">https://youtu.be/bBHXhbAupm0?si=OWBNXo4s1mi9YbU8</a>Learn more | <a href="https://authentictransformation.ca/" rel="nofollow">https://authentictransformation.ca/</a>At Authentic Transformation, we help individuals and business owners shatter their revenue ceilings.

S5E09In this extraordinary episode, I sit down with Silvia Gálvez, Inner Child Healing Expert, Business Strategist, and Founder of Authentic Transformation, for a conversation that changed the way I thought about my relationship with myself and God. Silvia brings twenty years of experience working with addiction, trauma, and abuse, and she shares the profound patterns she’s uncovered in the human psyche, the nervous system, and our spiritual identity.We explore the masks your inner child wears to survive, the identities we adopt to protect ourselves from pain we were never equipped to process. Silvia discovered five distinct masks for each of the six inner child wounds, and the way she explains them is both compassionate and revelatory.As she says so powerfully:“We wear the mask because we don’t want to feel the pain.”This conversation moves through inner child wounds, ancestral trauma like the ancestral exile wound where she expounds on why feeling like people don&#39;t like your going to die, the ancestral abandonment wound and why we crave to belong to a tribe and community. She delves into our divine identity, emotional imprints, and the ways these patterns quietly shape our businesses, careers, relationships, and sense of self.

We all carry parts of ourselves we’ve been taught to hide—shame, insecurity, fear, or even behaviors we regret. But what if the parts we believe are “unlovable” or “ugly” are actually the gateway to healing, authenticity, and true connection? In this raw and honest conversation, psychiatrist and voice liberation advocate Dr. Fred Moss joins us to explore what it means to face the uncomfortable, unpolished parts of ourselves—without judgment, without shame. Together, we unpack:<ul><li>The different types of “ugly” that live inside us—those that harm us first, and those that harm others.</li><li>Why we’re taught to silence the very parts of us that need the most compassion.</li><li>How to reclaim your true voice and live in alignment with who you really are.</li><li>Creative and simple practices to reconnect with yourself on a daily basis.</li></ul>Dr. Fred brings deep insight, practical tools, and a radically human lens to mental health—challenging the belief that we need to be “fixed,” and reminding us that healing starts when we stop hiding. If you’ve ever felt like parts of you were too messy, too broken, or too dark to be seen or loved—this episode is for you.🎧 Listen now and rediscover the power of your unfiltered, unedited self.

⚠️ Trigger Warning:This episode includes discussion of betrayal, infidelity, domestic violence, sexual abuse, sex, and rape fantasies, along with themes of trauma, intimacy, and healing. Listener discretion is strongly advised. This content is intended for audiences 20 years and older. What counts as betrayal? Is it only cheating—or can the small, everyday breaches of trust be just as damaging? And if we forgive someone… does that mean they’re automatically owed our trust again? In this deep and powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Bruce Chalmer, couples psychologist and author of Betrayal and Forgiveness: How to Navigate the Turmoil and Learn to Trust Again. Together, we explore:🔹 How betrayal shows up in both big and subtle ways🔹 Why forgiveness is about liberating yourself, not restoring blind trust🔹 What true intimacy requires—especially after trust has been broken🔹 Sacred sex as a healing practice and how to reconnect through it🔹 Similarities, differences, and patterns in what men and women often desire in sexual connection🔹 Signs of emotional abuse and domestic violence—and how to identify when something isn’t just a “rough patch” This is a brave space for those navigating the aftermath of hurt, seeking deeper connection, or learning to trust again—yourself and others. 🎧 Tune in and be empowered to heal, grow, and create love that is sacred, conscious, and true.

In this raw and powerful episode of Empower Create Encourage, I’m joined by the bold and brilliant Kiko Pawlenchuk as we dive headfirst into the full spectrum of motherhood—the joy, the dark, and the downright ugly. From societal misconceptions to silent shame, we unpack the unspoken realities mothers face every day.We talk about what it means to embrace honest vulnerability—sharing the hard truths of needing space, feeling low, and telling our kids, “Mama needs a minute.” We explore how this openness doesn&#39;t make us weak; it teaches our children resilience, empathy, and emotional awareness.This episode also shines a light on how our deepest triggers often stem from our own unhealed inner child wounds. Those moments of emotional activation? They’re not failures—they’re invitations to heal, grow, and evolve.Whether you&#39;re a mom, thinking of becoming one, or just want to better understand the fierce, sacred, and sometimes chaotic journey of motherhood, this episode will meet you where you are—with truth, laughter, and lots of heart.AHAHAHA Disclaimer:This episode is not actually sponsored by Anusol, the Calgary Public Library, or Depends… but if you’re a new mom, we highly recommend all three.

Nancy Pickard is a Life Coach who specializes in helping people uncover their shadow beliefs and the unconscious commitments they&#39;ve made to their dis-empowering beliefs.Shadow beliefs and unconscious commitments are formed in our childhood. They can be &#34;I&#39;m not good enough. I&#39;m not safe alone. I&#39;m not worthy of love. I&#39;m not smart enough. I&#39;m not good with money.&#34; These beliefs frame our paradigm and drive our actions to create a reality that supports our narrative.Nancy created GenConnectU which is an ELearning platform designed to advance the careers and lives of women everywhere. This course has career strategies and tools for achieving your greatest potential: <a href="https://genconnectu.com/course/a-bigger-better-braver-career-strategies-and-tools-for-achieving-your-greatest-potential/?fbclid=IwAR3B4qn9zOyv6PHzoQ1WOyvcPVlpJHviAsoDjWxhKmha640ULVLeiZSyBBs" rel="nofollow">https://genconnectu.com/course/a-bigger-better-braver-career-strategies-and-tools-for-achieving-your-greatest-potential/</a>20% DISCOUNT CODE: BBBSuccessOur beliefs shape our reality, stop playing small!

If x and y don&#39;t equal each other, then you likely have a dis-empowering shadow belief and an unconscious commitment that&#39;s keeping you stuck in a loop.Connect with Nancy Pickard on her page, nancypickardlifecoach.com﻿Connect with Alessandra Charlesworth | <a href="https://linktr.ee/empower.create.encourage" rel="nofollow">https://linktr.ee/empower.create.encourage</a> <h3>Transform from the Inside Out</h3><h3> </h3>At Authentic Transformation, we help individuals and organizations overcome emotional, mental, and operational barriers using a powerful blend of inner child healing, neuroscience, quantum physics, and spirituality.We support:<ul><li>Individuals by identifying and reprogramming trauma-rooted patterns that block confidence, clarity, and self-leadership.</li><li>Organizations by removing operational obstacles, aligning systems with purpose, and optimizing teams for sustainable growth and lasting impact.</li></ul> If you&#39;re a growth-minded leader ready to remove what&#39;s holding you back—personally or organizationally—we&#39;d love to support you.<h3>Book a complimentary 30-minute consultation and let&#39;s identify exactly how we can help you meet your strategic and operational objectives.</h3><h3> </h3>Learn more | <a href="https://authentictransformation.ca/" rel="nofollow">https://authentictransformation.ca/</a>
