What if grief wasn’t something to hide, but a sacred offering?

In this powerful episode of the Holistic Healing Podcast, host Luam welcomes Natalie Zacharias, an Emotion Code practitioner, for a soul-deep conversation on grief, boundaries, and energetic healing. Natalie shares her journey from corporate life to spiritual work, blending Gestalt therapy, plant medicine, and ancestral healing. Natalie offers beautiful insights on how to discern what emotions are truly yours, why your tears can become sacred offerings to the Earth, and how to hold space for yourself and others, without rushing the process.
