"Simply by you addressing your own trauma, you won’t pass it on to your kids."

In this episode, I’m diving into something that’s been coming up with a lot of my private clients lately—how to shift your relationship with your kids and stop unconsciously passing your trauma on to them. Whether your children are toddlers or in their 40s, this is for you.

After working for over a decade as both a mental health professional and educator, I’ve developed a very clear lens for how I see children—and more importantly, how I support parents. If your child is having behavioral issues, emotional dysregulation, or is simply shutting down, I want you to know: the change doesn’t start with them. It starts with you.

In this episode, I unpack how our unconscious wounds show up in our parenting, how our expectations get projected onto our kids, and why true transformation happens when we meet our own unmet needs first. I also share powerful stories from my own journey as a school counselor, as well as how I’m navigating these lessons in real time with my own son.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, confused, or triggered by your child’s behavior, this is an invitation to see it all through a new lens—and break the cycle of generational trauma for good.

How You End the Cycle of Trauma (and don't pass it onto your kids)

“Unmet needs create wounds and that creates trauma... and that will affect you later on in life in ways that you don’t understand.”

What is trauma? The way I see it, trauma is an experience or series of experiences that were very overwhelming emotionally, physically, or mentally, too much for you to process at the time. You might have stuffed it down, suppressed it, or disassociated. 

In this grounding solo episode, I unpack common misconceptions around trauma. Trauma is a widely used term that often becomes a buzzword without a foundational understanding. I want to take you back to basics. Drawing on my 24 years working in healing spaces and as a mental health professional, I'll share my unique perspective.

Your wounded inner child expects past hurts to happen again. Healing becomes simple once you understand your core wound pattern, and learn how to address it. Addressing the root of the tree changes all the branches.

How do you know if unprocessed trauma is impacting your life now?

Push play and find out! This episode is an invitation to view your current challenges as opportunities to heal parts of yourself ready to be reconciled, reclaiming your consciousness.

Common Misconceptions About Trauma

The Polyamory Plot Twist

Welcome to the premiere of "Don't Let Them," our new monthly series where Robyn McKay and I unpack the manipulation, mind games, and modern-day madness that too often lurk in the spaces meant to empower us. And trust us—we’re not short on stories.

Born from a shared desire to speak our truth authentically and fueled by you, the listeners loving our dynamic, this is where we throw out the script and get real, off-the-cuff, about literally all the things. 

In this first episode, we dive headfirst into topics like challenging outdated therapy models (bye-bye, "blank slate"!) and the surprising power of self-disclosure. 

We unpack the critical need for discernment in the spiritual space, especially as AI deepfakes make it harder than ever to tell what's real online. And yes, we tackle that polyamory controversy (featuring Aubrey Marcus), sharing our take on its perceived manipulative energy and calling out the performative aspect of spirituality we see playing out. Plus, we discuss the tricky "hero's journey trap" of using trauma as public performance. 

Expect honest opinions, a no-nonsense approach, plenty of sarcasm, and maybe even a few laughs about Chat GPT's hilarious podcast title ideas for this new series.

Don't Let Them with Robyn & Alyse - The One With...

“We tend to view our truth like it’s a destination—but it’s a devotion. It’s a daily choice to wake up and embody it, even when it’s hard.”

In this powerful and thought-provoking conversation, I sit down with spiritual mentor and multidimensional healer Jennifer Spor to unpack the real meaning of authenticity—beyond buzzwords and spiritual fluff.

Jennifer shares how her own journey of healing mother and sisterhood wounds, reclaiming her power, and walking away from manipulative coaching dynamics shaped the way she now lives and leads. Together, we explore why so many women drop their power in certain relationships, how to know if a mentor is truly aligned with your soul, and how to sharpen your intuition so you don’t fall into ego-driven traps disguised as “opportunities.”

This episode is a reclamation—a deep dive into what it looks like to live your truth, even when it’s inconvenient, triggering, or wildly unpopular. We talk about the traps of perfectionism, fear-based leadership, and how to lead yourself with radical integrity in business, relationships, and everyday life.

If you’ve been questioning your path, navigating a season of awakening, or trying to find your footing after giving your power away to someone who didn’t deserve it—this conversation will feel like both a mirror and a lighthouse.

What does true authenticity really mean? with Jennifer Spor

"I was just feeling bad for myself… like, what's wrong? How do I figure this out? I just feel like nothing is gonna change for me. But I said yes to the work, and everything started to shift."

In this inspiring and emotionally honest episode, Elshia Vasquez returns to share her story of going from self-doubt and anxiety to sustaining her business within just three months of private coaching with me.

When she first reached out, Elshia was freshly out of a counseling job and struggling with self-worth, visibility fears, and the weight of unprocessed childhood wounds. But something in her said yes. Yes to diving deeper. Yes to healing. Yes to finally building what she was meant to create.

What followed was a transformational private container where we addressed her inner child wounding head-on, cleared emotional patterns tied to worthlessness and procrastination, and built the tangible business foundation she had always envisioned. In just three months, she landed long-term clients, created her freebie, grew her email list—and perhaps most importantly, rewired her nervous system and confidence from the inside out.

If you’ve ever felt frozen by fear, unsure how to move forward, or held back by invisible emotional blocks, Elshia’s story will remind you: it’s never too late to choose yourself, heal at the root, and watch your purpose take flight.

How Elshia Sustained Her Business in Just 3 Months Working Privately with Me

"I knew what I wanted, but there was something inside me that was like, ‘No.’ And for the first time—I listened to that voice." 

In this deeply moving episode, I’m joined once again by Dr. Leah Taylor— PhD in Mind-Body Medicine, somatic psychologist, healer, and creator of Embodied Groove. Together, we reflect on her powerful journey of transformation inside The Mothership, where she confronted her core wound of unworthiness, released old survival patterns, and reclaimed her creative power.

Leah opens up about the turning points that defined the last year—from walking away from a job that didn’t meet her value, to building her own thriving client base, to ultimately returning to work under her terms. She also reveals the internal shifts that allowed her to stop sidelining her true soul’s work—Embodied Groove—and finally step into it as her legacy.

We talk about entrepreneurship through the lens of healing: how honoring your body, emotions, and intuition are the keys to sustainable success, and why inner child work is non-negotiable when you’re building a soul-led business. This conversation isn’t just about strategy—it’s about sovereignty.

If you’ve ever wrestled with self-worth, felt torn between your job and your calling, or feared putting your heart-led work out into the world—this episode will speak directly to you.

Press play and experience what happens when a woman stops abandoning herself and fully chooses her path.

How Dr. Leah Taylor Healed her Core Wound in The Mothership

"Guard your consciousness because our consciousness is our most most precious thing that we have."

Welcome to the grand finale of the Bewitched series. Robyn and I wrap up this intense journey, reflecting on lessons learned and closing the book. We discuss the ethical responsibility we felt and the personal cost of sharing these stories.

I share 11 patterns of manipulation I tracked across guest stories, explaining how they relate to childhood relational trauma and exploiting "soft spots", like creating trauma bonds and gaslighting. 

Robyn adds personality insights, contrasting the Dark Tetrad with the Light Triad. We touch on how traits like openness and agreeableness, combined with trauma, may make accomplished, intuitive women susceptible. Discernment is crucial.

We also address the question of why Betty's identity was not revealed. 

We're excited to continue podcasting, collaborating on new content focusing on ethics, integrity, and standards in the healing and spiritual leadership space. 

We want to thank all of the women who wanted to come forward with their stories and experiences. And also, everyone who showed their support, caring and interest in the series. You rock!

This episode is an invitation to safeguard your consciousness, become aware of red flags, do your deeper work, and keep the conversation going so these patterns don't happen in this way again.

Closing the Book with Alyse and Robyn

"I had no sexual energy. I couldn’t feel anything. That’s when I knew—we were siphoned."

In this final and explosive interview of the Bewitched series, Baljit Rayat steps forward with a harrowing story that spans nearly two decades. As the first student to ever learn the Akashic Records from Betty, Baljit didn’t just witness the rise of a spiritual leader—she lived through the full descent into chaos, control, and cult-like manipulation.

What began in 2006 as a path of spiritual awakening and mentorship slowly evolved into a twisted entanglement of gaslighting, psychosis, and psychic entrapment. Baljit recounts the signs she missed, the energy shifts she ignored, and the moments when her body began showing symptoms—weight gain, lost libido, mental fog—of being psychically infiltrated. But nothing prepared her for the Santa Fe retreat, where psychodrama erupted, euphoria blurred into confusion, and something darker came through under the guise of sacred ritual.

From being telepathically pressured to rejoin programs, Baljit unveils how Betty’s tactics became coercive, paranoid, and surreal. She opens up about the soul-crushing aftermath, the moment she finally blocked Betty, and the freedom that followed.

This episode is about reclaiming your energy, breaking the spell, and waking up to the truth.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Baljit's Story

"I love you, so I'm going to beat you… then tell you I love you again."

That’s how Brenda describes the psychological undertow that pulled her into—and kept her in—Betty’s web for nearly a decade.

In this piercing episode of the Bewitched series, Brenda Reiss joins us to unpack her long, layered experience with Betty, dating all the way back to 2014. What started as a business mentorship for a corporate escapee turned into an eerily familiar cycle of emotional manipulation, shame-laced power plays, and spiritual gaslighting.

Brenda takes us through every twist: the way Betty shamed clients into MLM schemes under the guise of financial empowerment, the bizarre telepathic “nudges” that seemed to lure her back whenever she tried to walk away, and the chaos of energetically loaded retreats where nothing was clear, yet everything felt controlling.

This episode hits hard with real-life cult tactics masquerading as coaching: isolating clients, confusing group dynamics, trauma bonding masked as healing, and the ever-slippery line between mentor and manipulator.

Brenda’s story is a masterclass in the slow, subtle erosion of personal power—and her emergence from that fog is both a cautionary tale and a powerful reclamation of sovereignty.

Bewitched - Breaking the Spell After Spiritual Mentoring Goes Wrong - Brenda's Story

What do you do when the mentor you trusted becomes the monster you never saw coming?

Today we have Elizabeth Purvis on the show. Elizabeth thought she had found her match: a magnetic spiritual leader with a bold vision, unshakeable confidence, and a promise to unlock the deepest realms of transformation and magic. But behind the veil of light and leadership, something darker simmered. 

In this gripping episode, Elizabeth recounts her long and complex relationship with Betty, tracing it from fascination to disillusionment—and ultimately, reclamation.

Drawn in by Betty’s charisma and promise of elevated consciousness, spiritual mastery, and access to powerful circles, Elizabeth entered with eyes wide open. What she didn’t expect was how quickly admiration would blur into confusion, betrayal, and manipulation.

We follow Elizabeth’s path through cognitive dissonance, spiritual gaslighting, and professional entanglement—including being hired by Betty herself. As the cracks widened, Elizabeth faced the truth: this wasn’t a sacred mentorship. It was a trauma-fueled hierarchy, propped up by smoke, mirrors, and energetic puppeteering.

But this isn’t a story of defeat—it’s a story of discernment and power reclaimed. With brutal honesty, Elizabeth shares how she finally broke the spell, buried the illusion, and spoke the words that needed to be said.
