samhain: what's dying + what's wanting to be birthed?

This weekend marks Samhain—also known as Halloween or Día de los Muertos—the sacred threshold between the light and dark halves of the year, when the veil between worlds is thinnest.

This isn't just about costumes and candy. This is the moment when we honor our ancestors, acknowledge what's ready to die within us, and make space for what wants to be born.

In this episode, I share what Samhain actually is, why you might be feeling more emotional or having old patterns surface intensely right now (it's by design), and how to work with this threshold energy rather than resist it.

You'll discover:

  • What Samhain asks of us: the death question and the birth question
  • Why old patterns are bubbling up right now—and what they're showing you
  • A simple ritual practice for releasing what's ready to die and making space for what wants to emerge
  • Why winter is for gestation, not forcing growth (and why capitalism wants you to forget this)
  • How to trust the darkness instead of fearing it


If you've been feeling patterns resurface that you thought you'd healed, if you're exhausted trying to force growth when you need rest, or if you're ready to work WITH the season instead of against it—this episode is for you.

standing at the threshold: what it feels like to stop hiding

Three moments in 24 hours. Each one pointing to the same truth. Each one asking: when are you going to stop pretending you're not this?

In this vulnerable episode, I share what it actually feels like to stand at an identity threshold—not the comfortable kind where you know what's on the other side, but the kind where stepping through means you can't go back.

I walk you through three pivotal moments that happened within two days: a mentor's response that I'd written down before she even said it to me, an assignment that made my body tense with recognition, and a therapy session where a full-body realization hit about my relationship with darkness and crisis.

This isn't about making sweeping proclamations or becoming someone new. It's about recognizing when your body is telling you the truth, understanding what threshold work actually feels like, and learning to distinguish between "are you ready?" and "are you willing?"

You'll discover:

✨ The physical sensations that signal you're standing at a threshold

✨ Why hiding your gifts creates the very self-doubt you're trying to avoid

✨ What it means to be a threshold walker (and that final threshold I've held space for)

✨ How to recognize when you're at your own identity threshold

✨ Why thresholds don't wait for you to be ready—they just keep appearing until you walk through


If you've been softening your truth, hiding your gifts, or waiting to be ready before claiming who you actually are, this episode will help you recognize the threshold you're standing at.

the fixer and the caregiver: when helping becomes hiding

In this very personal episode, I share my intimate experience with two shadow archetypes that shaped my life from age six: the Fixer and the Caregiver.

I explore how these protective patterns develop in childhood—often through being thrust into adult roles too early—and why they persist into adulthood even when they no longer serve us. You'll discover the subtle but crucial differences between these two archetypes, how to recognize when you're operating from shadow versus integrated expression, and why awareness alone isn't enough to break these deeply ingrained cycles.

I also share practical guidance on building the muscle of conscious choice: from noticing patterns after the fact, to catching yourself mid-moment, to eventually choosing different responses before the pattern fully activates.

This episode is essential listening if you've ever wondered why you struggle to let others experience natural consequences, why you scan every room for threats to harmony, or why you can't seem to stop putting everyone else's needs before your own.

Join me for the next Illuminate Your Shadows meditation circle on Friday, October 24th at 7pm (in-person in Annapolis or virtual). We'll go deeper into transforming these specific archetypes. Space is limited! Reserve your mat here.

reclaiming you: when your inner child demands to be seen

In this raw and vulnerable episode, I share the midnight note that changed everything – a truth I'd been carrying but didn't realize I needed to address. A month and a half ago, I woke up having written something that made me deeply uncomfortable: "I want to be Tina Melendez."

I dive into why reclaiming my birth name isn't about my marriage or legal documents – it's about honoring the little girl inside me who had big dreams but was told they were selfish and egotistical. The younger Tina who wanted to see her name in lights, who dreamed of having a platform, who believed she had something important to share with the world.

This episode marks the beginning of a new chapter as I officially step into my work as Tina Melendez – not rejecting who I've become as Tina Hamilton, but reclaiming the part of myself that got left behind when I learned to blend into the background instead of shining.

If you've ever put down a dream because it seemed foolish or unrealistic, if you've dimmed your light to make others comfortable, or if there's something you've been wanting to reclaim but haven't found the courage yet – this episode is for you.

one year of wounds to wisdom: finding my voice through 40 episodes

In this special anniversary episode, I'm celebrating one full year and 40 episodes of Wounds to Wisdom! When I started this podcast, I committed to just 20 episodes—believing that if I could make it past that milestone (where most podcasters quit), I'd know this was meant to continue.

Today, I'm sharing the profound personal growth that's happened through showing up week after week, including:

🌿 How I transformed from overthinking and scripting everything to allowing spirit to flow through me

🌿 The shadow patterns I've had to dance with: perfectionism, self-doubt, and the wound of "children should be seen and not heard"

🌿 What I learned about my podcast voice vs. my authentic voice vs. my meditation voice—and how they've all merged

🌿 The real logistics of podcasting (spoiler: you don't need fancy equipment or perfect editing)

🌿 How 1,100+ downloads exceeded my wildest dreams when I expected maybe 50-60 all year

Whether you're curious about starting your own podcast or you're on your own journey of allowing yourself to be seen and heard, this episode offers honest reflections on what it takes to show up consistently while working through your own shadows.

Healing in the Middle of Life: When you can't just Disappear

In this deeply vulnerable episode, I share from the depths of one of my darkest seasons - the overwhelming grief, the physical recovery challenges, and the realization that I've been living in protective patterns that no longer serve me.

I explore the reality that most of us can't just step away from our responsibilities to heal in isolation, despite what we see modeled in spiritual communities. Instead, we have to figure out how to transform while still showing up for our children, our partners, our work, and our lives.

This episode is about the messy middle of transformation - that terrifying blank canvas that emerges when we start dropping the conditioning and protective mechanisms that once kept us safe. It's about finding community with others who are navigating this same journey of becoming while still living in the life the old versions of ourselves built.

I also share details about a new 30-day healing container I'm opening on October 1st - a space for daily 5-minute practices that honor the reality that healing happens right here in the middle of our beautiful, chaotic lives.

If you're feeling lost, unmoored, or like you're living a life that doesn't fit who you're becoming, this episode is for you. You're not alone, and transformation doesn't require you to abandon your life - it requires you to show up differently within it.

From Overwhelm to Empowerment: How Asking for Help Became a Superpower with Andrea Louth

In this deeply moving episode, Andrea Louth shares the transformational journey that took her from complete overwhelm to empowered living, while juggling a full-time career, two children, and serving as primary caregiver for her terminally ill mother.

Andrea reveals the pivotal moment when she realized that trying to do everything alone wasn't strength; it was a path to destruction. Her story of learning to ask for specific help, build community support, and trust others to show up will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like they're drowning in responsibilities.

We explore practical strategies for identifying priorities, the art of delegation without micromanaging, and how relinquishing control can actually expand your capacity in both personal and professional life. Andrea's "million dollar question" for staying focused and her approach to time blocking will give you concrete tools for designing a life you actually want to live.

Whether you're caring for aging parents, managing a demanding career, or simply feeling stretched too thin, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable wisdom for moving from survival mode to thriving.

Key Topics:

  • Learning to ask for specific help instead of suffering in silence
  • Building trust with others and yourself during overwhelming seasons
  • Practical systems for prioritizing what truly matters
  • The freedom that comes from letting go of perfectionist control
  • Integrating self-care into an already packed schedule

    Writing Through the Shadows: How Creative Blocks Mirror Life Patterns with Dani Fankhauser

    In this powerful conversation with intuitive writing coach Dani Fankhauser, we explore the deep connections between our creative blocks and life patterns. Dani shares her journey from journalism to mystical writing practices, revealing how the struggles we face in our writing often mirror exactly what's happening in our relationships, business, and personal growth.

    We dive into the pain of rejection - whether it's from literary agents or life itself - and how memoir writers face unique challenges when sharing deeply personal stories. Dani explains her philosophy that "anything happening in our book is also happening in our life" and how this awareness creates profound breakthroughs for her clients.

    You'll discover why reading your work aloud can heal throat chakra blocks, how to energetically protect your creative process, and why the publishing industry's current challenges might actually be opening doors for authentic voices who see the world differently.

    Whether you're a writer struggling with creative blocks or someone working through patterns of self-doubt and fear of being seen, this episode offers practical wisdom for transforming your shadows into medicine.

    When your soul demands a complete life audit: navigating the shedding phase

    In this raw and vulnerable episode, I share from the depths of my own shedding phase—that sacred space where your soul demands you examine every structure in your life and ask: "Is this truly mine, or was it built from wounds and conditioning?"

    Fresh from taking an unintentional break from all business activities, I explore what it means to let your soul lead the way, even when it feels completely out of control. I talk about the profound process of questioning everything you've built—your goals, beliefs, patterns, and structures—to discern what's authentic versus what was created from conditioning.

    This isn't a typical "how-to" episode with clear answers. Instead, it's an invitation into the messy, uncomfortable, and ultimately transformative space of deep self-inquiry. I share how I'm navigating this phase through ceremony, introspection, and radical honesty with myself about what truly belongs in my life moving forward.

    If you've ever found yourself questioning whether the life you've built actually reflects who you are becoming, this episode offers companionship for that profound journey of reconstruction.

    From Near-Death to Sacred Space: How Forced Stillness Awakened My Healing Gifts

    In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Master Healer Cheryl Pace, founder of Be the Change – The Healing Collective, to explore her profound transformation from burnout to awakened healer through a near-death experience and subsequent paralysis.

    Cheryl shares her powerful journey of ignoring the universe's gentle nudges until life literally stopped her in her tracks – first through a near-death experience in 2019, and then through COVID-induced paralysis that forced her into four months of complete stillness. It was in that sacred pause that she finally connected to her gifts and learned what it truly means to "share the light."

    We dive deep into:

    ✨ Why forced stillness often becomes our greatest teacher

    ✨ The soul-to-soul method and working in the Akashic records

    ✨ How to recognize your body's "yes" vs "no" signals

    ✨ The shamanic healing wheel and the journey from shedding to sovereignty

    ✨ Why it's not our job to "fix" people but to hold sacred space

    ✨ Moving from competition to collaboration in the healing space

    Cheryl's story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes we have to completely surrender to remember who we truly are, and that our deepest wounds often become our most potent medicine.

    Whether you're feeling called to explore your own healing gifts or you're in your own season of forced stillness, this conversation offers profound insights about trusting the journey and stepping into your authentic power.

    As Deep as the Darkness: How Shadow Work Expands Our Capacity for Beauty

    In this deeply personal episode, I share what five weeks of post-surgery recovery revealed about the profound relationship between shadow and light.

    While healing, I discovered something unexpected: the more I've learned to sit with collective pain and personal darkness, the more beauty I'm able to see and receive. This led me to wonder—is our capacity to experience beauty only as deep as our ability to feel darkness?

    Just as we can only love others to the extent we love ourselves, I explore whether we can only experience wonder to the degree we can hold pain. You'll hear about the moments that caught my heart during recovery, how forced stillness taught me to notice butterflies and ant colonies while holding space for global suffering, and why some of us are meant to transmute collective darkness into something beautiful.

    This isn't about choosing light over shadow—it's about discovering how they dance together to create a more integrated, alive way of being in the world.

    From Devastating Loss to Intuitive Healing: How One Therapist Revolutionized Mental Health Treatment

    In this powerful episode, I sit down with licensed therapist and professional intuitive Annamarie Green to explore her profound journey from devastating loss to creating revolutionary healing methods that bridge clinical psychology with energy work.

    Annamarie shares her raw and honest story of losing her partner to suicide while raising a toddler as a young mother, and how traditional therapy wasn't enough to heal the deep trauma she experienced. This led her to discover the transformative power of energy work, which became the foundation for her Intuitive Therapy Method™.

    We dive deep into how anxiety and depression function as survival strategies, why traditional talk therapy often falls short, and how addressing trauma at the energetic and nervous system level creates lasting change. Annamarie explains how ancestral patterns get passed down through generations and offers practical insights for parents on creating emotionally honest relationships with their children.

    You'll also learn about her upcoming Soul Surgeon program, a 6-month intensive that teaches therapists, coaches, healers, and curious souls how to read, clear, and heal energy to become the intuitive architects of their own lives.

    This conversation is a masterclass in understanding how our deepest wounds can become our greatest medicine when we're willing to do the deep work of integration and transformation.

    Why Aren't You Writing? A Birthday Tribute to My Guiding Star

    In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of my cousin Danielle, who would have been 42 today. Seven years after losing her to addiction, I'm finally ready to own the truth she saw in me before I could see it myself - that I'm a writer.

    Danielle's last question to me was simple but life-changing: "Why aren't you writing?" Three weeks later, she was gone. But her influence on my life has only grown stronger. Today I share how her death cracked me open, how I feel her guidance in the shadow work I now facilitate, and how the very work that flows through me might have saved her life.

    I also share one of her poems from just weeks before she passed - a raw, powerful piece about her own shadow work and awakening to her purpose as a poet. This episode is my annual tribute to the woman who taught me that our wounds can become our wisdom, and our pain can become our purpose.

    Listen as I explore how grief can activate our gifts, how the dead continue to guide us, and why sometimes we need to lose everything to find who we're meant to be.

    Beyond Physical Recovery: Finding Safety Within Your Body with Leigh Ober

    In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Leigh Ober, certified wellness coach and founder of Compass Coaching Collective, to explore the journey from addiction and eating disorders to profound healing and purpose.

    Leigh shares her powerful story of spending nearly a decade in and out of treatment facilities, achieving physical recovery, yet still feeling like something was missing. She discovered that true healing required going beyond traditional approaches to include somatic work, energy practices, and spiritual tools that helped her create genuine safety within her own body.

    We dive deep into:

    • Why physical recovery from addiction and eating disorders often isn't enough
    • How somatic practices like yoga, breathwork, and tapping can create lasting transformation
    • The importance of learning to welcome emotions rather than suppress them
    • How our bodies hold wisdom and memories that need to be processed somatically
    • Building routines and practices that support nervous system regulation
    • Transforming wounds into purpose and finding meaning in our struggles
    • The journey from hyper-independence to healthy interdependence


    Leigh's story beautifully illustrates how our deepest challenges can become our greatest medicine when we're willing to do the deeper work of healing. Her upcoming book "Forged from the Flames" chronicles this journey of transformation, and her coaching work helps other women find their own path to authentic recovery and empowerment.

    Whether you're in recovery, supporting someone who is, or simply seeking to understand the deeper layers of healing, this conversation offers profound insights into what true transformation looks like.

    When your biggest fear becomes your greatest growth edge

    In this deeply vulnerable episode, I share my real-time experience with one of my biggest shadow patterns just days before major abdominal surgery.

    As someone who struggles deeply with the Hyper Independent shadow archetype, being told I can't lift anything over 5 pounds for 8+ weeks has brought me face-to-face with my greatest growth edge. I open up about the fear, resistance, and opportunity that comes with being forced to ask for and receive help.

    You'll hear me work through the RISE Method in real time as I navigate this triggering situation. I share how the Hyper Independent shadow shows up: burning out before asking for help, believing others are unreliable, and filling gaps before people can step in to support us.

    I explore the concept of confirmation bias and how our shadows scan for evidence that supports limiting beliefs, plus the profound shift that happens when we begin looking for ways people are showing up for us, even if it's different than we expected.

    This episode is raw, honest, and unpolished...exactly what shadow work looks like when we're in the thick of transformation. Whether your prominent shadow is the Hyper Independent, Perfectionist, People Pleaser, or another shadow archetype, you'll find practical wisdom for recognizing when the universe is trying to get your attention and choosing differently before it's too late.

    If you're ready to examine your own shadow patterns and make different choices when they show up, this episode offers both permission to be messy in your growth and practical tools for transformation.

    Breathe into Shadow with Trish Brewer

    In this powerful conversation, I sit down with my friend and Reiki Master Teacher Trish Brewer to explore how breathwork can transform our relationship with our shadow patterns.

    Trish shares her healing journey—from a hospital visit that changed everything to discovering breathwork at a festival in Vermont, where she experienced what she calls "a coming home." We dive deep into how breathwork creates a bridge between the conscious and unconscious mind, allowing us to befriend our shadows rather than fight them.

    You'll discover:

    ✨ How shadows form as protective patterns in childhood and why they're actually hidden allies

    ✨ The science behind why active breathwork can help complete stuck trauma cycles in your nervous system

    ✨ Why shadow work is like working with a toddler—requiring patience, compassion, and understanding

    ✨ How breathwork creates a strong enough container to hold whatever arises during integration

    ✨ Why healing is a lifelong journey (and how to find joy along the way)

    Trish beautifully explains how our shadows—like the perfectionist, people pleaser, or hyper independent—once served to protect us but may now be limiting our growth. She shares practical insights about how breathwork can help us move these patterns through our body rather than keeping them stored and stuck.

    Whether you're curious about breathwork, ready to explore your own shadow patterns, or looking for somatic tools to complement your healing journey, this episode offers both compassionate insight and practical wisdom.

    The Revolution Within: Shadow Work as Resistance

    In this powerful episode, I explore how shadow work is actually a revolutionary act in our current times. Discover why collective trauma creates the same patterns as personal trauma, and how choosing conscious processing over unconscious reaction literally changes the world.

    I share the two choices we have when facing collective challenges, practical tools for staying conscious without burning out, and why your personal shadow integration is actually collective healing work.

    From Feathers to Buses: How life forces us awake with Amber Cornwall

    In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Amber Cornwall, founder of The Awakened Circle, to explore how life's most challenging moments become our greatest teachers and catalysts for awakening.

    Amber shares her powerful journey from being a high-achieving public school teacher and national athlete to experiencing a complete spiritual awakening after two major surgeries. We dive into the "feather, brick, bus" metaphor—how the universe sends us gentle nudges that grow increasingly louder until we finally listen to our soul's calling.

    This conversation explores the intersection of conscious parenting, shadow work, and stepping into our purpose during these transformative times. Amber opens up about raising sovereign children while breaking generational patterns, the importance of giving ourselves permission to experience joy, and how individual healing contributes to collective transformation.

    You'll discover why some of us need louder wake-up calls than others, how to recognize when you're being called to step into your purpose, and practical insights for navigating the tension between service to others and honoring your own needs.

    Whether you're feeling stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, questioning your life's direction, or seeking to raise conscious children in an unconscious world, this episode offers profound wisdom and gentle guidance for your journey.

    Can we be friends?

    In this heartfelt episode, I open up about my journey away from formulaic business models toward a more authentic way of connecting with you. After returning from a transformative solo retreat in the Northeast and experiencing profound shifts during the recent Scorpio full moon, I'm ready to burn down what no longer serves and invite you into a new kind of relationship.

    I share my realization that trying to force myself into traditional business "boxes" was causing me to show up inauthentically—the very pattern I help visionary women overcome in their own lives. Just as I discovered in my teaching career years ago, true connection doesn't happen through rigid structures, but through authentic presence.

    This episode explores how shadow work has helped me recognize when I'm forcing myself to fit into conditioned ways of being that don't resonate—and how this insight has transformed my approach to business and healing.

    Join me as I invite you into a more personal relationship—one where we can connect like friends sharing wisdom, rather than through funnels and formulas. I'm stepping more fully into my purpose of helping you uncover the patterns keeping you small and guiding you toward the life you truly long for.

    Is This Real? Finding Trust in My Intuitive Gifts

    In this soul-stirring episode, I take you along on my transformative seven-day journey through New England that unexpectedly became my own mini-version of "Eat, Pray, Love."

    Join me as I share the profound insights that emerged while standing in historic Old South Church, performing ceremonies on Martha's Vineyard, and reconnecting with my intuitive gifts. I vulnerably explore my struggle with trusting my spiritual abilities—the persistent doubt asking "Is this real?"—and the powerful moment of clarity that finally broke through that resistance.

    This episode dives deep into the contrast between control and trust, the rare feeling of complete safety I experienced on the island, and what it means to honor your unique gifts even when they can't be logically explained.

    Whether you're questioning your own intuitive abilities or simply seeking permission to trust yourself more deeply, this intimate narrative offers both validation and inspiration for your journey.

    Join me in the shala (Annapolis, MD) or virtually on Friday, May 9th for a profound exploration of your shadows at Illuminate Your Shadows, a women's meditation circle. Tickets can be purchased here.
