In this episode, Victoria Johnson speaks with international yoga teacher and author Lizzie Lasater about rest, self-trust, intuition, and the power of creating more space in our lives.

In this episode, Victoria Johnson, PhD, PCC, speaks with author and grief coach Jenny Hall about the deeply personal and universal experience of grief and what it can mean to find your way forward after devastating loss. Jenny shares her journey following the sudden death of her spouse, Jim, and how that experience eventually led to the creation of her book, The Grief Beacon. Together, Victoria and Jenny explore how grief can affect every part of life, from identity and security to relationships, routines, and the way we see the future. The conversation also looks at the importance of allowing grief rather than constantly distracting from it, finding safe people who will listen, practicing self-compassion, and recognizing that grief is not limited to death. The loss of a relationship, career, lifestyle, home, or sense of safety can all create very real grief. Jenny shares some of the practical tools she uses in her work, including journaling, meditation, mirror work, letter writing, and release rituals, while emphasizing that every person’s grief experience is different and deserves to be acknowledged. Her message is one of hope: healing does not mean forgetting, and even profound loss can eventually be carried in a way that allows life, meaning, and purpose to grow around it.

In this episode, Victoria Johnson speaks with Yvonne Oswald, PhD, about clearing negative emotions in minutes rather than spending years repeatedly talking about the past. Yvonne is the author of several books, including her latest, No More Therapist: Your Brain Has the Answer, a seven-day rapid mind-rewire program. The book includes a section inspired by Louise Hay’s work, used with permission, that connects areas of the body with their possible emotional meanings and integrates those insights into a practical system for emotional and physical reset. Victoria and Yvonne discuss how the brain and body store experiences like file folders, why revisiting every detail of the past is not always necessary, and how precise language can influence emotions, health, relationships, and success. They also explore quantum thinking, self-talk, and how to stop repeating familiar emotional patterns. Originally from England and now living in the Dominican Republic, Yvonne is internationally recognized for her expertise in Neuro-Linguistic Programming and the power of language. Her guiding message is: “Every word has power. Success starts with self-talk.” Learn more about Yvonne at globalwelcome.com, and receive her free Safety Box gift at globalwelcome.com/safety-box.

In this thoughtful episode, Victoria Johnson speaks with George Stoimenov, who lives on the coast of England and works with vulnerable people within the justice system. George explores men’s work, trauma, inner-child healing, and the specific challenges men often face in recovery and personal growth. He explains why lasting change requires more than changing behaviour. Healing begins by understanding the deeper experiences and unconscious patterns shaping our choices. As Carl Jung wrote, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” Victoria and George discuss the importance of creating safe spaces where men can speak honestly, reconnect with themselves, and address emotional pain without shame or judgement. George describes healing as rebuilding from the ground up through awareness, compassion, and more conscious choices. Although it is not discussed directly in the episode, George also uses the work of Louise Hay in his personal life, creating a meaningful connection with the Heal Your Life® philosophy.

In this heartfelt episode, Victoria Johnson speaks with Shana Ng, a registered nurse, mental health professional, and certified and licensed Heal Your Life® Workshop Teacher and Coach, about healing generational trauma within Asian families. Shana shares what it was like growing up in a strict household shaped by high expectations, unspoken rules, and pressure to be perfect. Although these expectations were often connected to love and a desire for success, they also left her feeling that approval, belonging, and worth had to be earned. She explains how difficult it can be to speak honestly about family pain in cultures where mental health struggles and personal problems are often kept private. Feelings of guilt, shame, and disloyalty can make healing feel lonely, especially when other family members are not ready to acknowledge harmful patterns. Shana describes learning to give herself the approval she once sought from others. This conversation is a powerful reminder that worthiness does not come from perfection, achievement, or pleasing others. We are worthy of love, rest, happiness, and belonging exactly as we are.

This is a "must-watch" episode! In this episode, Victoria sits down with Dr. David Clarke, MD, President of the Association for Treatment of Neuroplastic Symptoms, to explore a topic that is often misunderstood and frequently missed in traditional healthcare: neuroplastic symptoms. These are very real physical symptoms, such as chronic pain, fatigue, migraines, dizziness, and other conditions that are not caused by structural disease, but by the brain’s response to stress and unresolved emotional experiences. Dr. Clarke explains that these symptoms affect approximately one in three adults, yet many people go years without a proper diagnosis or effective treatment. Together, they unpack how past experiences, especially childhood adversity, along with personality patterns like perfectionism and people-pleasing, can contribute to the development of these symptoms. The conversation highlights how suppressed or unprocessed emotions can manifest physically, often leaving individuals feeling confused, dismissed, or stuck in cycles of ongoing health challenges. Dr. Clarke shares compelling case examples of individuals who experienced significant and lasting relief once the emotional drivers behind their symptoms were identified and addressed. He also introduces practical approaches to healing, including increasing awareness of stressors, processing emotions, and simple techniques such as therapeutic writing to safely express what has been held in. This episode offers both validation and direction for anyone who has struggled with symptoms that do not seem to have a clear medical explanation. It provides a grounded and hopeful perspective on the mind-body connection and reinforces that these symptoms are not imagined and, importantly, are treatable. Key Takeaways: Neuroplastic symptoms are common and often misunderstoodPhysical symptoms can be driven by stress and emotional patternsSuppressed emotions do not disappear; they show up in the bodyAwareness and emotional processing are central to healingRecovery is possible, even after years of symptomsResources Mentioned: Symptomatic.me (self-assessment and educational resources).

Guest: Terisa Kinsey Novick - Part 1Contact: [email protected] In this heartfelt and deeply reflective episode, Victoria sits down with Terisa Kinsey Novick, a master training consultant with more than 20 years of experience in adult learning and the implementation of training systems for major organisations. Terisa shares the philosophy that guides her life: “Let go and let God.” What may sound simple reveals itself as a powerful spiritual and emotional practice. She explains that true inner peace does not come from controlling circumstances but from turning inward, expanding perspective, and trusting something greater than ourselves. The conversation explores Terisa’s personal journey through significant loss, including the death of her first love, her mother, and her brother, and most recently her husband. Rather than becoming defined by grief, she describes how these experiences reshaped her understanding of death. She now sees it as a transition rather than an ending. Victoria reflects on the noticeable peace in Terisa’s words and asks how she navigates moments when grief feels overwhelming. Terisa shares that she learned to let emotions move through her instead of resisting them, and she describes loss as an “address change,” a shift in location rather than a disappearance. They also discuss Terisa’s experience attending the Heal Your Life training in Banff and how that work supported her transformation and resilience during challenging seasons. This episode is a gentle yet powerful conversation about surrender, grief, faith, spiritual connection, and the strength that comes from inner alignment. It offers comfort and perspective for anyone navigating loss or seeking deeper peace. Stay tuned for part two!

In this episode of Heal Your Life Talk Show, Victoria Johnson sits down with holistic transformation guide Christine Ruch to explore the role of the nervous system in healing, resilience, and self-trust. Christine shares her personal journey from running high-pressure food businesses while living with multiple sclerosis to nearly experiencing a nervous breakdown that forced her to radically re-evaluate her life and health. Her path led her to Costa Rica, where she learned how misalignment in the nervous system can sustain illness and how true healing begins by creating safety within the body. The conversation weaves through emotional capacity, trauma release, and the power of learning to sit with uncomfortable emotions rather than fixing or bypassing them. Christine explains how building emotional resilience allows stored trauma to surface and release naturally, often leading to profound physical changes. The episode also explores self-trust, the distinction between rumination and reflection, and the simplicity of aligned action. This conversation is a grounded, compassionate look at mind-body healing, resilience, and the quiet power of learning to trust yourself again.

In this episode of Heal Your Life Talk Show, Victoria interviewed Karen Canham, a wellness practitioner from Southwest Florida, about her work in helping people bridge the gap between doing and being through somatic experiencing and nervous system regulation. Karen explained how her approach focuses on helping people integrate body-based shifts rather than just intellectual understanding, emphasizing that resilience is a skill that can be developed through conscious practice rather than being an innate trait. They discussed Karen's PDF guide "Wired for Resilience" and her book "From Reactivity to Resilience," which offers tools for managing emotional responses and expanding personal capacity. The conversation highlighted how empaths can learn to manage their sensitivity while maintaining healthy connections with others, with Karen emphasizing that the key to transformation lies in internal boundaries and conscious self-regulation rather than simply avoiding challenging relationships.To learn more about Karen Canham, visit her ⁠WEBSITE⁠.

In this episode of the Heal Your Life Talk Show, Victoria interviewed Dallisa, a fifth-generation psychic medium and spiritual guide, to discuss her work and its alignment with Louise Hay's teachings. Dallisa shared her journey into psychic mediumship, emphasizing the importance of inner healing and intuition over predictions. They discussed Dallisa's three core energies (approval, safety, and control) and how addressing these can help individuals raise their vibration and access their intuition. The conversation also covered how external factors like substances and media can affect one's energy and intuition. Dallisa explained that people typically seek her guidance for clarity in life, self-worth issues, and the development of their intuition. They concluded by discussing the current global dismantling phase, the need for conscious rebuilding, and the importance of maintaining a high vibration through self-love and forgiveness.
