In this episode, I continue the conversation from Episode 10 and share the deeper vision behind Heal Your Part. This isn’t simply a podcast about healing. It’s a movement to change the way we think about being human.

For too long, healing has been relegated to therapy, crisis, self-help, or dismissed as “woo.” But what if healing is simply part of being alive?

I explore why understanding ourselves, our emotions, our nervous systems, our beliefs, and our patterns should be as fundamental as learning to read or taking care of our physical health. I also share why I believe healing belongs in everyday conversations, education, leadership, parenting, and community, and why this has become the work I know I am here to do.

If you’ve ever wondered why we weren’t given a better understanding of ourselves, this conversation is for you.

What You’ll Learn

• Why I believe we were never taught one of life’s most essential human skills.
• The deeper vision and purpose behind the Heal Your Part movement.
• Why healing isn’t something reserved for crisis, but an ongoing practice of becoming more fully yourself.

Three Core Insights

Healing is part of being human.

Every person experiences loss, fear, disappointment, change, and adaptation. Healing isn’t evidence that something is wrong with you. It’s part of caring for your humanity.

The better you understand yourself, the more freedom you create.

Understanding your emotions, beliefs, nervous system, patterns, and inner world creates greater self-leadership, confidence, and choice.

Healing belongs in everyday life.

It shouldn’t live only inside therapy offices or self-help books. Imagine a world where learning about ourselves was considered an essential life skill from childhood onward.

Final Note

Heal Your Part isn’t asking anyone to become someone new. It’s an invitation to become more aware, more compassionate, and more fully yourself.

Because when we heal our part, every relationship, every family, every workplace, and every community has the opportunity to change.

Heal Your Part is not my podcast. The podcast is one arm of it. Heal Your Part is a movement, and I was sent to bring it. I've spent years building other people's visions and keeping my own like secret babies, waiting for the right time, the partner, the seed money, the cleaner version. I'm done waiting. This is me claiming it.

I also name the second thing I'm building: The Real Wealth Room, a community for women ready to get serious about their inner wealth and their financial wealth, from the inside out.

If you've been holding a vision and waiting to be ready, this is your invitation too.

What You'll Learn

• Why making a declaration out loud, in public, changes what becomes possible
• What Heal Your Part actually is, and why healing has been given a bad rap
• What The Real Wealth Room is, and why you can't hold what you haven't grown into yet

Three Core Insights

1. Every time you heal something in yourself, you raise your own vibration and the collective vibration with it. This isn't a metaphor. We are energetic beings, and what you heal ripples into every room you walk into.
2. Healing has a bad rap. It doesn't have to mean a thirty-day camp or rewriting your whole life. It can be as quiet as an apology you've been avoiding. There are countless ways in, and they all belong to Heal Your Part.
3. You cannot hold, sustain, or multiply what you haven't grown into. This is why people who win the lottery rarely keep it. Real wealth starts on the inside, before the outer thing arrives.

Rachel brings both clinical depth and lived experience into this conversation. We explore what it means for a child to express who they are, and what that moment asks of a parent, not just intellectually, but emotionally.

We talk about gender identity in grounded, accessible language, the difference between understanding and acceptance, and the reality that every child’s journey is personal. Rachel shares how her work has evolved over the last decade, and how her own experience as a parent deepened her perspective in ways she couldn’t have anticipated.

This conversation is thoughtful, human, and at times deeply moving. It invites us to slow down, examine what we think we know, and consider what it really means to see and believe someone for who they say they are.

What You’ll Learn

• How Rachel defines terms like cisgender, transgender, and non-binary in clear, accessible ways
• What it means for gender to exist on a spectrum rather than a binary
• How young people experience identity, both internally and in relationship to the world around them
• What parents often move through when their child shares their identity
• How family systems adapt, including communication, boundaries, and trust
• Why many people believe they don’t “know” someone who is gender diverse
• The role of curiosity, empathy, and self-reflection in supporting others
• What it means to truly listen when a child tells you who they are

Three Core Insights

1. When authenticity is met, relationship deepens

For many parents, there can be an initial sense of loss, of the life or identity they thought they understood. But what Rachel speaks to is something more expansive. When a child is met in their truth, the relationship often becomes more honest, more intimate, and more real than before. Not a performed connection, but one rooted in who they actually are.

2. Self-awareness emerges when we are willing to question what’s given

What stood out to me is how deeply self-aware many of these kids are. Not because they were taught to be, but because they’ve had to reflect, question, and define themselves in ways most people never do. When you step outside of inherited norms, whether that’s about identity or anything else, you are invited into a deeper relationship with yourself. And from that, a different kind of clarity becomes available.

3. Identity is personal, and closer than we think

There is no single way to understand identity. Each person’s experience is their own. And as Rachel shares, many people believe they don’t know anyone who is gender diverse, but they likely do. What often sits underneath that belief is distance, not reality. When we allow ourselves to become more curious and less certain, what once felt unfamiliar becomes more human, and more connected to all of us.

Odell brings a rare combination: a legal career in entertainment, deep roots in corporate learning and development, and an arts background that shapes the nuanced, human-centered way he moves through the world. He is also a single father of two daughters, and he'll tell you that parenthood has been one of his greatest laboratories for the very work he teaches.

We explore the Three Kindnesses framework he built - Safety, Empathy, and Diversity - and why pulling one lever doesn't automatically open the others. We talk about what it really means to know your values (not just the what, but the why), how self-awareness without depth only gets you so far, and what it looks like to lead people in a way that helps them stretch toward their potential rather than retreat into protection.

This conversation is rich, grounding, and full of the kind of nuance that reminds you why this work is both simple and profound. Odell doesn't make it complicated, he makes it human.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN

1. The Three Kindnesses framework: Safety, Empathy, and Diversity — and how they interact
2. Why knowing your values isn't enough — the what and the why of self-awareness
3. How psychological safety allows people to stretch rather than retreat
4. The difference between empathy as a concept and empathy as active practice
5. What diversity looks like beyond demographics — including neurodiversity and lived experience
6. Why organizations can't "solve" diversity, and how to measure progress by markers, not arrival
7. How single parenthood became Odell's most powerful training ground for his own framework
8. What it means to lead with your values visible, and how that creates space for others to do the same

THREE CORE INSIGHTS

1. Self-awareness has two layers. Knowing what you do is the first step. Understanding why you do it, what drives it, what wound or value sits beneath it, is where real change becomes possible.

2. Safety is not passive. Psychological and emotional safety is the foundation that allows people to take risks, learn, and grow. Without it, people retreat into whatever patterns make them feel protected. Creating it, for yourself and for others, is an active, intentional practice.

3. Diversity is a journey, not a destination. Organizations that treat diversity as a problem to be solved will always feel behind. Those that commit to it as a continuous practice, measuring progress by movement, not arrival, are the ones that build something lasting.

FINAL NOTE

Your presence matters.

Your energy, your healing, your expansion, it all makes a difference.

When you heal your part, you help heal the whole.

Anahiz grew from ICU bedside nurse to charge nurse to ICU manager, and today serves as Senior Director for Critical Care Services at Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital. We talk about what leading through the pandemic actually demanded, why “resilience” felt like a throwaway word, and how grit, vulnerability, and true psychological safety helped teams keep caring when everything hurt.

She also reflects on how cultural roots, self-awareness, and the courage to be vulnerable reshaped her leadership, and her life. This episode is an honest look at what sustains healers, and how leaders can hold both the human and the work.

What You’ll Learn

• Why “resilience” rang hollow and how grit plus real support sustains care
• The shift from task-driven to human-centered leadership in crisis
• How vulnerability at work asks us to practice it at home, too
• Psychological safety and emotional support as essentials, not extras
• ICU vs. telemetry vs. acute care—what each setting actually means
• The unseen toll of workplace violence and system limitations
• Managing imposter thoughts and taking up space as a first-gen leader
• Why self-awareness creates the pause between trigger and choice

Three Core Insights

1. Care is the point, and also the pain. When people shut down to survive, leaders must notice and respond so teams can keep caring without losing themselves.
2. Resilience without solutions is empty. Grit matters, and it has to be matched with structural support, clear communication, and psychological safety.
3. Self-awareness changes outcomes. The pause to notice what is happening inside you creates new choices in how you lead, love, and work.

Guest: Anahiz Correa

Anahiz Correa is the Senior Director of Critical Care Services at Martin Luther King Jr. Community Hospital, where she oversees the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit, Clinical Observation Area, and the soon-to-open EmPATH Unit.

A dedicated nurse leader with over a decade of experience in emergency and acute care settings, Anahiz champions initiatives that improve patient outcomes, advance health equity, and support frontline healthcare workers. She is passionate about workforce development, patient safety, and advocating for policies that strengthen the nursing profession and enhance care for underserved communities.

Anahiz is a Registered Nurse by background, specializing in Intensive Care. She earned her Master’s in Public Health with an emphasis on Health Policy and Management from the University of California, Berkeley, and her Bachelor of Science in Nursing from UCLA.

Final Note

Your presence matters.

Your energy, your healing, your expansion, it all makes a difference.

When you heal your part, you help heal the whole.

I talk about how this idea came back to me at my church’s annual conference, and how it can completely shift the way we experience responsibility, not as a burden, but as liberation. When we recognize our role in what’s unfolding, we also reclaim our power to change it.

If you’ve been feeling reactive, stuck, or disconnected from your sense of agency, this episode is your invitation to pause, reflect, and remember, you are a co-creator of your lived experience.

What You’ll Learn

• A powerful framework for understanding what you create, promote, and allow
• How to reclaim your agency without self-blame or judgment
• The difference between control and conscious participation
• Why true self-responsibility is a path to freedom, not pressure
• How to bring compassion to the choices shaping your experience

Three Core Insights

1. Awareness is creation. The moment you see your part, the pattern begins to shift.
2. You are not responsible for everything that happens, but you are responsible for how you meet it.
3. Every moment is a mirror, showing you what you’re choosing to create, promote, or allow.

Final Note

Each moment offers a choice, to create, to promote, or to allow. When you bring consciousness to those choices, you become the author of your experience.

I invite you into a moment of inquiry: What are the beliefs you’re still holding that feel like fact, but are actually just old agreements? What if this moment in your life is happening for you, not to you?

What You’ll Learn

• Why “this is happening to me” might be the most limiting belief of all
• How to begin liberating yourself from outdated ideas of reality
• What it means to audit your thoughts and interrupt unconscious loops
• Why our identity often reflects old conditions, not current truth
• The subtle power of choosing what gets to live in your mind

Three Core Insights

1. Most of what limits us isn’t real, it’s just something we decided a long time ago.
2. You don’t have to be at war with your mind, but you do have to take back the keys.
3. Liberation often begins with a single question: Is this still true?

We talk about the moments that changed everything for him: facing a cancer diagnosis that forced him to confront the finiteness of his life, feeling real dread in a career that on paper was wildly successful, and discovering spiritual psychology as a “before and after” moment that redefined how he leads, works, and lives.

He shares candidly about the polarities of joy and duty, the experience of failure as life-giving, and the lessons learned from coaching leaders who shape some of the world’s most influential companies. This episode is an invitation to consider how our most challenging moments can deepen our leadership, our purpose, and our capacity to create meaningful impact.

What You’ll Learn

• How Kirk’s cancer journey reshaped his sense of possibility and life choices
• The moment he first felt dread in a seemingly perfect career—and why it mattered
• The transformative role of spiritual psychology in reframing purpose and success
• Why true leadership means creating space for liberation in others
• How polarities show up in leadership and personal growth
• His reflections on failure as a doorway to authenticity and creativity
• How “transformation” is really about revealing what’s already within us

Three Core Insights

• Adversity can reveal what matters most. Facing our limits can create the space for truer choices and deeper purpose.
• Leadership is about creating space for liberation. Guiding others well means helping them see and claim their own freedom and truth.
• Transformation is a process of revealing, not becoming. True change isn’t about becoming someone else—it’s about letting what’s already within us come forward.

Guest: Kirk Souder

Kirk coaches high-impact leaders to find their greatest possibility in authentic leadership, purpose, and impact. He has been featured in Forbes, and he speaks globally on the power of mindset and inner purpose to harness the power of business.

Kirk’s background is distinct from most executive coaches in his vast business-building experience prior to graduate-level education and training in leadership coaching. Prior to starting his coaching consultancy, Kirk was co-founder and lead coach of Enso, creating initiatives with visionary brands and coaching visionary leaders toward positive impact at scale. Kirk’s own business and entrepreneurial leadership span 30 years of successful enterprises, with roles as Founder, Chief Creative Officer, Partner, and President/CEO of large companies and vanguard creative shops recognized globally from Cannes to Hong Kong. He’s built award-winning creative cultures in New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles, and Shanghai, serving clients like Nike, Disney, Virgin, Uber, Visa, Google, Lyft, and The White House.

Kirk went to grad school in 2004 to earn a Master’s Degree in Spiritual Psychology and then added extensive professional training in coaching technologies like Three Principles, Soul-Centered Leadership, and Success Intelligence. Kirk is a certified graduate of the University of Santa Monica’s Soul-Centered Coaching Program. 

This combination of real-world business experience and graduate-level coaching education creates an integrated skill set rare in today’s executive coaches and was designed for 21st-century enterprise. Kirk is a regular lecturer on leadership in business at USC’s Haas School of Business, UCLA’s Anderson School of Management, and the University of Adelaide in Australia. Kirk has spoken and led workshops on unlocking inner purpose and positive impact from Hong Kong to Copenhagen to Miami to Portland.

When you heal your part, you help heal the whole.

In this heartfelt and vulnerable conversation, I sit down with Amanda Dykann, a yoga teacher and retreat leader who truly lives what she teaches. Amanda shares openly about her early sense of inner knowing, the path that took her from teaching yoga to facilitating luxury retreats around the world, and the profound personal evolution she’s experienced through motherhood, healing, and leaving a relationship that no longer served her well-being.

We talk about embodiment, emotional honesty, the energy we carry, and what it means to really trust the unfolding of life. If you’ve ever felt stuck between your desire for peace and the patterns you keep repeating, Amanda’s story is such a beautiful reminder that healing isn’t linear, and that our power often lies in softening rather than pushing.

What You’ll Learn

• Why energetic alignment often matters more than effort or strategy
• How Amanda used stillness and slowness to redesign her business from the inside out
• The subtle ways we argue for our limitations, especially when trying to manifest something new
• How to recognize the vibration we’re emitting (and what it’s attracting)
• A spiritual lens on navigating postpartum, partnership, and resilience

Three Core Insights

• You can’t fake your energy. The frequency we carry shapes how we’re received—and what comes into our lives.
• Your truth will keep knocking. Even when life gets messy, there’s often a deeper voice within us that knows what’s right.
• There’s power in sharing the real story. Vulnerability and honest storytelling aren’t just healing—they’re connective medicine.

Guest: Amanda Dykann

Amanda Dykann is a yoga teacher, retreat facilitator, and spiritual guide with over 15 years of experience supporting others through movement, mindfulness, and soul-centered transformation. With a master’s degree in Spiritual Psychology and extensive training in multiple yoga styles from Bikram to Yin, Amanda brings both depth and lightness to her work.

She has led luxury yoga retreats around the world, designing deeply nourishing experiences that invite reflection, renewal, and self-discovery. Whether guiding students through breathwork, quiet integration, or vibrant group practices, Amanda holds space with grounded presence and intuitive grace.

Amanda now lives on the island of Maui with her young son, continuing to follow what feels most alive and helping others do the same. Her teaching is rooted in resonance, surrender, and trust in life’s unfolding.

Final Note

Your presence matters.

Your energy, your healing, your expansion, it all makes a difference.

When you heal your part, you help heal the whole.

In this episode, I define and demystify one of the most important tools for healing and transformation: inner work. I share how your personality and belief systems are formed often without your awareness and how to begin seeing the stories and patterns that are running you. I talk about the courage it takes to face ourselves honestly, the power of reflection, and how healing at the personal level can ripple outward to our relationships, leadership, and society at large.

If you've ever wondered where your reactions come from, why certain challenges keep repeating, or how to start feeling more peace and alignment from the inside out, this one’s for you.

• What “inner work” really means (and why it’s for everyone)
• How our childhood experiences create unconscious beliefs
• What patterns and emotional triggers can teach us
• Different ways to begin or deepen your healing practice
• Why healing is both personal and profoundly collective

Three Core Insights

1. Inner work isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering who you are beneath the patterns. So much of who we think we are is just a set of adaptations. Beliefs we never questioned. Stories we created to survive. When you begin to witness those patterns with compassion not judgment, you reclaim the truth beneath them.
2. Your personality was built in response to your environment—and you get to reshape it. From early childhood, we start assigning meaning to the things that happen to us. Without context, we make sense of pain the best we can. That meaning becomes identity. Inner work helps you see which parts were formed out of survival and which ones want to be rewritten.
3. Patterns persist until we pause long enough to notice them. If the same relationship dynamic, emotional trigger, or inner conflict keeps showing up you are the common denominator. That’s not blame, it’s power. When you’re willing to trace the roots, you gain the leverage to grow.

Thank you for listening…until next time, be gentle with yourself and trust the wisdom of your inner voice.

In this opening episode, I share the deeper why behind the show and what inspired me to finally start it. You'll hear part of my own story, from growing up as a mixed-race Mexican American girl in Los Angeles, to body image struggles, to discovering spiritual psychology and building a life rooted in emotional truth and inner leadership.

This is more than an intro. It's a reclaiming of healing as a vital human skill, not a luxury, not a trend, and not a soft science.

Whether you're just beginning your healing journey or you've been walking it for years, you're in the right place.

What You’ll Learn

• Why I believe healing is our responsibility and our power
• How our childhood experiences shape our identity, patterns, and relationships
• My story, from playground questions to studying spiritual psychology
• The skills that changed my life and what I’ll be sharing with you here
• A glimpse into the topics, guests, and tools we’ll explore together

Three Core Insights

1. Your healing creates a ripple effect. When we heal ourselves, we don’t just feel better, we show up differently in the world. Our energy shifts, our relationships shift, and we contribute to a more compassionate planet.
2. Much of who you believe you are was shaped before you could choose it. Before the age of seven, we start forming beliefs based on how we interpret life around us. Inner work lets us revisit those early stories and rewrite them consciously.
3. We’re not taught this stuff but we can learn. Self-reflection, emotional awareness, and neutral observation are foundational life skills. And just like brushing your teeth, they should be part of everyday life. This podcast exists to normalize and teach those tools.
