What happens when the silence you kept for decades finally finds a voice—and that voice becomes the very thing that heals you?
In this powerful episode, I sit down with Stacy Schaffer, Licensed Professional Counselor and author of With Love from a Children’s Therapist, to explore what it means to break generational silence, heal from childhood trauma, and help children become less hurting adults. Stacy opens up about losing her mother at a young age, surviving a year-long trauma she never spoke about until three decades later, and how telling her story became an act of radical self-compassion and truth-telling.
Together, we dive into the grief that shapes us, the courage it takes to tell the truth, and the healing that happens when we finally stop hiding behind resilience. From her work as a children’s therapist helping young people process grief and anxiety, to her own journey of reclaiming her voice, Stacy offers profound insight into the power of vulnerability, authenticity, and emotional intelligence.
Topics we explore:
🎧 Tune in for a deeply moving, hopeful conversation about what it means to do the inner work—for ourselves, for our children, and for the generations to come.

Kayla shares how even in a healthy marriage, her body held memories of her lineage’s pain—and how she learned to release it through somatic healing, dance alchemy, and playful, creative self-expression. We talk about breaking free from inherited cycles around love, body image, and self-worth—and how healing doesn’t have to be heavy. It can be sensual, creative, and deeply freeing.

When you feel stuck, lost, or like a failure, it’s easy to believe you’re on the wrong path. But what if those feelings are actually an invitation? In this episode, I share how I've learned to reframe this feeling with a powerful African proverb: “To get lost is to learn the way”.
I'll walk you through my three-step writing ritual that acts as a portal back to yourself. This process is designed to help you:
Write the Rage: Learn to be incredibly raw with your emotions and get everything out onto the page without judgment.
Reveal the Root: Reflect on the old stories and beliefs that have held you back and see what's truly underneath your pain.
Reclaim Your Truth: Decide what happens next and choose the new truths you want to live by.
This episode is for anyone who wants to use writing as a tool for deep healing, transformational growth, and personal liberation.

In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on my own journey. What it means to be walking toward motherhood with intention, with awareness… and with grief.
I’m talking about the stories we’re rewriting before we ever pass them on. The unspoken guilt of waiting, of doing things in your own time. The ache of wishing someone you love was still here to witness this next chapter.
And I’m sharing something tender and close to my heart—why this second book is for the cycle breakers.
If you’re in the in-between… of healing and becoming, of remembering and reimagining—this one’s for you.
Key Takeaways:
→ What it looks like to rewrite the stories you inherited
→ Why your nervous system needs to feel safe before transformation can begin
→ The emotional and spiritual prep work before stepping into motherhood
→ How to choose softness and self-trust over control and urgency
→ The power of slowing down to hear what’s truly yours

My mission is to help thought leaders break through the barriers of self-doubt, overthinking, and perfectionism and alchemize them into authentic self-expression.
What if you're not here to fix yourself... but to remember yourself?
In this soul-nourishing conversation, we explore the difference between healing and growth, the power of soul remembering, and how to navigate your journey with self-compassion, trust, and emotional clarity. Kemina shares how tuning into inspiration vs motivation shifted everything—and how letting go of old stories allows you to return to your truth.
This episode is an invitation to stop overcomplicating your journey, return to your body, and live from your inner wisdom.
