Rising From Shame

James & The Giant Leap (to Recovery)

Fri, 08 May 2026 17:58:00 -0000

What does it take to come home to yourself after a lifetime of running?
In this deeply honest and moving conversation, James Hatch shares journey through fear, shame, emptiness, and addiction—to finding self-love, sobriety, and genuine human connection. James opens up about the weight he carried and the turning points that began to shift everything - from moving city to city in search of peace that always seemed out of reach, to facing the pain of caring for and losing his mother during a time he wasn’t yet sober,
At the heart of his transformation is a simple but powerful tool: journaling. James reveals how putting pen to paper became a lifeline—helping him process emotions, take ownership of his story, and build a more compassionate relationship with himself. Through this practice, he began to reclaim his voice, his truth, and his worth, and continues journaling every day to empower his recovery.
We also explore what it means to step into fatherhood while healing, and how choosing presence, honesty, and connection has reshaped his life and relationships. After years of searching, James shares how he finally found a sense of calm—not by running, but by rooting into himself, right where he is.
This episode is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and a reminder that no matter how far we’ve wandered, it’s always possible to return home.
"I am proud of who I am right now. I've never been able to say that but I can today," James Hatch _______NEWSLETTER -
There’s a moment in many of our lives when we realize… we can’t outrun what we’re carrying anymore.
In this week’s episode of Rising from Shame, I sit down with James Hatch—someone I met in the same recovery fellowship—for a deeply honest and human conversation about his journey through fear, shame, and addiction, and the long, courageous path toward self-love, sobriety, and real connection.
James shares what it was like to spend years moving from city to city, searching for a sense of calm that always felt just out of reach. He opens up about one of the most painful chapters of his life—caring for his mother while not yet sober, and the grief and weight he carried after losing her.
And yet… this is also a story of transformation.
We talk about the simple but powerful practice that helped shift everything for him: journaling. What started as a way to release thoughts became a lifeline—a space for truth, accountability, and compassion. Through it, James began to rebuild his relationship with himself.
We also explore what it means to step into fatherhood while healing—how choosing presence, honesty, and connection can change not only your life, but the lives of those you love.
After years of running, James shares how he finally found something he had been searching for all along… not in a new place, but within himself.
This episode is raw, real, and deeply inspiring. If you’ve ever struggled with shame, felt stuck in old patterns, or wondered if peace is truly possible for you—this conversation is for you.
Tune in now and take a moment to reflect:
What might shift if you stopped running… and started listening?
With love,
Nadia

The Shame Shifter™ Method for caretakers, and anyone holding their own life and a parent's life simultaneously.

Sat, 02 May 2026 03:00:00 -0000

What if shame isn’t something to fix…
but something to transform?
In this deeply personal episode, I introduce the Shame Shifter Method™—a heart-centered approach to turning shame-based triggers into clarity, connection, and inner peace.
This episode is for those living in the in-between…
The ones who are holding their own life—while also holding a parent’s life inside it.
Not fully a “caretaker”…but no longer living life on your own terms either.
When a parent moves into your home, everything shifts.
Your time.
Your energy.
Your space.
Your identity.
And underneath it all… something quieter often rises: Shame.
The pressure to do it right.
The feeling that you’re not doing enough.
The overwhelm you don’t always feel allowed to admit.
In this episode, I share:
* What shame really is (and why it’s not your enemy)
* How it forms from early core beliefs and survival patterns
* Why triggers are actually invitations for healing
* The Shame Shifter Method™: Awareness, Anticipation, and Action
* What it means to choose love over fear through spiritual advocacy
* A simple grounding tool: The Presence Breath
This is not about becoming someone new.
It’s about recognizing what’s been running underneath…
and learning how to return to yourself—again and again.
If you’ve ever felt like you’re:
* Holding everything together for everyone else
* Trying to carve out space for your own life
* Reacting in ways that don’t feel like the real you
This episode will meet you there.
Because healing doesn’t start when life calms down.
It starts right in the middle of it.
Right here.
Right now.
Love, Nadia

A Birthday Wish: Use the Day. Choose Love. (And Why It Matters Now More Than Ever)

Mon, 27 Apr 2026 21:02:00 -0000

At the time of this recording, Tuesday, April 21, 2026:
Today is my 55th birthday… and instead of fearing age or looking back with regret, I’m choosing to use the day.
In this solo episode, I reflect on a lifelong pattern I didn’t even realize I was building—choosing love over fear and judgment, one moment at a time. It didn't happen overnight. In fact, it happened because of and through a lot of pain, darkness, and shame.
From childhood experiences… to years of living from the ego and trying to prove my worth… to recovery, healing, and rediscovering the truth of who I am—this episode is an invitation.
An invitation to reflect on how you view your birthday.
Do you avoid it… or do you use it to grow?
In this episode, you'll hear powerful insights on:
- The difference between love (heart) and fear (mind)
- How shame-based beliefs are formed—and how to break free
- Why separating your true self from your past choices is life-changing
- Seeing others beyond their wounds and behaviors
- And why this matters now more than ever in a world where many youth feel safer turning to AI than to other humans, including reports of vulnerable youth being influenced toward self-harm—highlighting the urgent need for us to become safer, more compassionate spaces for one another.
My birthday wish is simple:
More acts of love. For yourself. For others. For the world.
So today, I ask you—just for today—
Can you choose love?
If this episode resonates, please share it with someone you love and help spread this message.
With infinite love always, Nadia NEWSLETTER: Subject: My 55th Birthday Wish
Today is my 55th birthday.
And instead of letting it pass by quietly… or looking at it through fear, regret, or “where did the time go?”…
I’m choosing to use the day.
To reflect.
To grow.
To rise from shame…and choose love.
When I look back over my life, I can see a pattern I didn’t even realize I was creating…Choosing love over fear. Over judgment. Over shame.
Not perfectly. But consistently enough to change the trajectory of my life.
In today’s solo episode of Rising From Shame [INSERT EP LINK HERE] as well as Home is Within You, A Memoir of Recovery and Redemption [INSERT LINK TO PURCHASE HERE]. I open up about that journey—
From childhood experiences that planted seeds of shame…
To years of proving and performing…
To recovery, healing, and coming back home to the truth:
That we are not our mistakes.
We are not the voice in our head that tells us we’re not enough.
We are something far deeper—whole, divine, and complete.
And now, more than ever, this matters.
We’re living in a time where many young people feel safer opening up to AI than to another human being…
And there are even concerning reports of AI being used in harmful ways, influencing vulnerable youth toward self-harm instead of guiding them to real support.
That’s not just about technology.
It’s an invitation for us.
To become safer spaces.
To listen more.
To judge less.
To meet each other with love instead of fear.
So this is my birthday wish:
More love.
Love for yourself—maybe that looks like forgiveness, rest, or a kinder inner voice.
Love for others—through patience, presence, and understanding.
Just for today… can you choose love? Yes, indeed you can!
If this message speaks to you, I’d be so grateful if you shared the episode with someone in your life.
Let’s rise together.
With love,
NADIA ;) Support Recovery of Incarcerated Parents:

What unfolds is not just a story of recovery—but one of unexpected grace, resilience, and connection.

When Love Hurts: Caregiving, Anger, & Coming Home to Yourself

Sat, 28 Mar 2026 02:00:00 -0000

What does it really mean to love… when it hurts?
In this deeply personal episode, I share the raw and honest reality of caring for my 90 year old mother and her ailing conditions and cognitive deficits —what it asks of me as a daughter, a mother, and a woman trying to hold it all together.
This is a conversation about sacrifice…
about anger…
about the grief of watching someone you love slip away—
and the guilt of not always having enough left for your children… or yourself.
But it’s also about something deeper.
About learning to sit with the fears that rise—fear of losing love, fear of not being enough—and discovering how those very fears can guide us back into the heart.
Through this journey, I’ve begun to find what I call a Home Within—a space of stillness, presence, and deep inner listening that allows me to soften, to breathe, and to meet both myself and my mother with more compassion.
If you are a caregiver, a daughter, a son, or someone walking alongside a loved one in a difficult season… this episode is for you.
Not for answers—
but for comfort, understanding, and the reminder that you are not alone.
In this episode:
• The emotional reality of caregiving for a parent (dementia, Alzheimers, or not)
• Navigating anger, guilt, and physical exhaustion
• Witnessing your own patterns through caregiving
• Finding presence through and with your children in the midst of pain
• Creating a “Home Within” through stillness and self-awareness
* If this episode speaks to your heart, consider sharing it with someone who may need a moment of understanding and support.

YOU ARE FOR TRUE, with guest MELANIE TAYLOR

Sat, 21 Mar 2026 01:00:00 -0000

This episode is a reminder that YOU WERE BORN TO BE LOVED! That we never have to stay in a place of feeling broken, but can choose the path HOME WITHIN to our truest selves today, everyday, no matter what.

In this episode Melanie Taylor shares how, on her own journey of healing, she came to understand that shame is not a character defect, but a false belief of unlovability developed when vulnerability was not met with safety, often beginning in childhood and passed down through generations. Melanie shares her story of a childhood marked by pain, secrets, and shame, and how she turned that pain into a beautiful purpose, returned back to her TRUE SELF, and empowers others today.

Melanie Taylor is a counselor, author, and the Founder of You Are For True, specializing in healing sessions and personalized retreats providing space for women to heal their past and reconnect with the light of who they truly are.

This Too Shall Pass

Fri, 13 Mar 2026 16:30:00 -0000

Circumstances change. Seasons of life rise and fall. And sometimes when we’re in the middle of challenging times, or a painful moment, it can feel like it will never pass. This episode is a gentle reminder of the truth of impermanence—that whatever you are facing right now is not the whole story of who you are, and it will not last forever.
When our minds are loud with fear, shame, or despair, they can convince us that something is wrong with us—that we are broken. But the deeper truth is that beneath the noise of the mind, your core self remains whole, divine, and complete. Nothing that is happening in your circumstances can take that away.
In this episode, I share reflections on caring for ourselves during difficult seasons and remembering our inherent worth even when life feels uncertain. It’s an invitation to pause, nurture yourself, and soften toward whatever you are experiencing.
I also reflect on teachings from Eckhart Tolle about not overvaluing our circumstances, and the wisdom he offers: “Beyond happiness and unhappiness there is peace.” When we stop attaching our identity to what is happening around us, we reconnect with the quiet steadiness that lives within.
These teachings remind me of my father's favorite saying: This Too Shall Pass. To him this meant that, In times of prosperity, we remain humble, and In times of despair, to have and feed hope.
If you are going through a difficult chapter right now, this episode is for you. A reminder that circumstances pass, that you are not broken, and that peace is always closer than the mind would have us believe.
This week, let’s practice not overvaluing our circumstances—and instead remembering who we truly are beneath them.

RISING From Shame

Tue, 24 Feb 2026 02:32:00 -0000

Rising from shame isn’t about fixing yourself—it’s about remembering who you are beneath the stories, the past, and the survival patterns that once kept you safe.

In this episode, we explore what shame really is, how it lives in the body and mind, and the ways it once shaped our responses—hiding, numbing, striving, or self-abandoning. I share how my relationship with shame has changed over time, and what it looks like today to meet it with presence, compassion, and truth instead of resistance.

This conversation is an invitation to pause, listen beneath the noise of judgment, and reconnect with the quieter voice of the soul—the one that reminds us that pain has purpose, darkness can be a doorway, and rising from shame is a practice of returning to love.

Perfect for anyone on a healing or recovery path who is ready to stop fighting themselves and begin remembering.

Collision Course

Fri, 20 Feb 2026 22:29:00 -0000

What comes to mind when you hear the words collision course?

Maybe you picture two cars hurtling toward impact. Or maybe your mind drifts upward—far beyond our atmosphere—where entire star systems move through space, drawn by gravity, destined to meet. Out there in the vastness of the cosmos, collisions aren’t accidents. They are part of creation itself. When stars collide, they don’t simply destroy—they ignite. They reshape galaxies. They forge new elements. They give birth to something that did not exist before.

In this episode, “Collision Course,” Nadia explores that cosmic analogy and brings it home—into the landscape of our own hearts.

Within each of us, emotions collide. Fear meets desire. Shame meets longing. Anger crashes into vulnerability. And when those inner forces go unexamined, their aftershocks ripple outward—into our words, our actions, our relationships. Suddenly, we find ourselves on a collision course with someone else.

But what if these moments of tension, friction, and even hostility are not signs of failure?

What if they are windows of opportunity assuming we don’t create any more wreckage along the way, what if they are signals of transformation?

Just like dense star systems drawn together by unseen forces, our internal conflicts are often guiding us toward discovery. When we widen our perspective, we begin to see that collision does not always mean catastrophe—it can mean breakthrough.

This episode invites you to pause in the heat of impact. To watch your words. To observe your actions. To retreat and reflect rather than react. To remember your true self and return home within.

From that inner home—rooted in the heart—you can rise from shame-based thoughts, whether they come from within you or are directed at you. You can choose love over fear. Compassion over judgment. Presence over reaction.

Every day, we stand at a crossroads between love and fear.

Love, as we explore it here, is not sentimental. It is the living current of the heart space—where life feels alive, where intuition speaks, where the voice of the soul can be heard. Fear and judgment are not enemies; they are master survival skills. But when the mind takes over, we can find ourselves carried away by them.

By creating a home within the heart, we gain the capacity to witness both. To observe the collision courses forming inside us and around us. To maintain hope for what is emerging.

And to remember a powerful truth: everything is impermanent. Even the impact.

This episode is a reminder that collisions can become catalysts. That friction can refine us. That what feels like destruction may actually be transformation in disguise.

Slow down. Step back. Return home within.

And rise.

Hanging in There, When Pain Brings Us Home

Fri, 30 Jan 2026 21:30:00 -0000

Sometimes we’re told that pain is here to make us stronger, tougher, or to push us into making big changes. And while all of that can be true, it isn’t always the point.
In this episode, we explore the moments when pain becomes so intense, so unrelenting, that we reach an inner precipice—where fixing, reframing, or powering through no longer works. And unexpectedly, that’s where something else opens.
This conversation is about hanging in there when you can’t yet see the purpose of what you’re moving through now. About how pain, at its deepest, doesn’t harden us—but can soften us back home. Not to a better version of our personality or identity, but to our true self: the consciousness and living energy that is far more vast than the story we think we are. You’re not broken. You’re not failing. And you may be closer to home than you realize.
* This episode also includes an excerpt reading from my memoir, a reminder that home is within you—even when everything feels broken, raw, or unclear.
* If this episode resonates, I’d be so grateful if you’d share the link with someone who might need it, and consider subscribing to the podcast. Your sharing helps this message reach the hearts it’s meant for.

The Light is ALWAYS On

Fri, 02 Jan 2026 23:57:00 -0000

As we step into a new year, this episode is an invitation to slow down and listen to the quiet reminders of your soul calling you inward. We explore what it means to choose the spiritual path, rise above the noise of the mind, and gently release the grip of shame.

When we learn to witness our thoughts rather than be ruled by them, the door to the light within us opens. In that rising, pain and darkness begin to reveal their deeper purpose—not as punishment, but as a passage back to wholeness.

The light has always been left on inside your heart. My hope is that this year, you sit with it a little longer and get to know it a little deeper.

NEWSLETTER

As we step into a brand-new year, I want to begin by wishing you a gentle, grounded, and soul-led Happy New Year. A new year has a way of inviting reflection—not in a pressurized “new year, new you” kind of way, but in a quieter, more honest invitation to listen. To pause. To feel. To remember.

I’m honored to welcome the year by sharing a new podcast episode that speaks directly to that remembering.

This episode is about the subtle, persistent reminders we receive from our soul—the nudges that ask us to go within. The ones that don’t shout or demand, but patiently wait for us to slow down enough to hear them. So often, we look outward for clarity, validation, or direction, when all along there has been a light left on inside our own heart.

That light has never gone out.

This conversation is also about choosing the spiritual path—again and again. Not as a concept, but as a lived practice. Choosing to rise above the endless loop of thoughts, stories, and old identities that keep us tethered to shame, fear, and self-doubt. Learning how to witness the mind rather than be ruled by it is a radical act of devotion to the soul.

Because it is in that rising—rising from shame—that the door to the light opens.

And suddenly, something shifts. What once felt like meaningless pain, darkness, or turmoil begins to reveal its deeper purpose. We see that our suffering was not a punishment or a flaw, but a passage. A refining fire. An initiation that softened us, humbled us, and made room for truth, compassion, and connection.

Even in seasons of grief, addiction, disconnection, or survival mode—especially then—the light remains. It may feel dim at times, obscured by fear or old conditioning, but it is always there, quietly whispering: Come home.

In this episode, we explore what it means to listen to that inner voice again. Not the voice of the mind that rushes, criticizes, or compares—but the deeper voice of the soul that knows. The one that reminds us that wholeness isn’t something we earn or achieve; it’s something we remember.

As we enter this next year, my hope for you isn’t that you become someone new. My hope is that you give yourself permission to sit with that inner Light a little longer. To get to know it more deeply. To trust it more fully. To let it guide you—not through force, but through presence.

Maybe this year looks like fewer resolutions and more listening.

Fewer distractions and more devotion to your inner life.

More compassion for where you’ve been, and reverence for what it took to survive.

This episode is an invitation—to slow down, to turn inward, and to remember that rising above the mind is not about bypassing pain, but about allowing it to transform you.

Thank you for being here. Thank you for choosing awareness. Thank you for walking the path of courage, truth, and heart.

May this year be one where you rise—gently, honestly, and soul-first.

May you trust the light within you.

And may you remember—you were never broken.

With love and gratitude,

Nadia

Fri, 19 Dec 2025 23:00:00 -0000

The holidays often bring family patterns to the surface. In this short episode, I offer a quiet reminder from recovery: when we slow down and see the bigger picture, we create room for compassion, we empower our ability to respond rather than react.

Time isn’t linear—old wounds, present moments, and future healing can meet right here. Our parents often respond from what was never healed, and when we choose a different response, we begin to change what gets passed on.

This holiday season remember: most anything anyone does is either an active love or a cry for love. That’s how the soul experiences this life! Embrace acts of love AND authentically, let others know that you need it too.

This is an invitation to come home to your heart, to the steadiness already within you, and to move through the season with more ease. Happy holidays.

The Courage to Be You, with Guest Teri Lynn - A Conversation Between Two Women Rising From Within

Sat, 06 Dec 2025 02:00:00 -0000

This episode is your permission slip to stop shrinking.

In this intimate and beautifully raw conversation, two women in recovery sit together, not as experts or influencers, but as sisters walking the same path—peeling back the layers, naming the truth, and reclaiming the parts of themselves long hidden under shame.

Guest Teri Lynn, whose story has never been shared publicly, offers a rare look into the quiet bravery it takes to rise authentically and be who you are. Her honesty doesn’t just inspire—it disrupts the old narratives that tell women to shrink, stay silent, or pretend.

This episode is for any woman who's been dimming their light to keep the peace...

For the woman who senses there is more to her than the roles she plays...

For the woman who pushes down a deep part of her begging to be seen...

For the woman who feels the tug of her own power but hesitates to trust it…
For the woman who’s ready to break the spell of shame and step into a life that feels real.

Nadia and Teri explore what it means to:

- Return to yourself

- Tune into your intuitive knowing

- Speak your story without apology, and

- Discover that the very places you once hid are the gateways to your freedom.

Together, they will inspire us to embrace the rebellion of choosing yourself, the fire that burns when you step into your truth, and the raw courage it takes to shine in a world that benefits from your silence.

Come listen. Come rise. Come remember who you are.

From Personal Recovery to Heart-Centered Parenting: Turning Sorrow Into Something Beautiful for the Family

Fri, 21 Nov 2025 08:00:00 -0000

PART III - Through heartfelt reflection, spiritual insight, and practical everyday tools, this episode Nadia and Janice invites you to breathe into the mystery of life — to honor the finite and the infinite, the body and the soul, the tear and light behind it - ultimately turning sorrow into something beautiful for the whole family.

Even with a deeper understanding about death, sorrow still visits. Loss still hurts. And too often, we carry shame for grieving, as if spiritual understanding should make us immune to pain. But grief does not mean we’ve forgotten our infinite nature — it means we have loved deeply.

In this episode, Nadia and Janice share their past experiences navigating grief and shame and describe how they handle both differently today with their children, using them as bridges to deeper spiritual connection, providing TOOLS and TIPS to:
~ Hold both truths — the ache of physical loss and the peace of eternal connection.
~ Release shame around sorrow - honoring it as a sacred expression of love, not weakness.
~ Transform fear of death into reverence for the continuity of spirit - tapping into the idea that time is not linear, all experiences are connected.
~ Model authentic grieving for our children, family, and community — showing that emotion is not a flaw, but a part of divine wholeness enabling authentic, genuine connection.

Go Inward...Today, not tomorrow, nor next week, or next year, now.

Fri, 14 Nov 2025 08:00:00 -0000

Are you ready to unlock the doors and COME HOME to a place WITHIN that has felt distant for a long time? A space that seems unreachable amidst thoughts and emotions seemingly pulling you away? Are you confused about why, how, and where to start on a personal journey of awakening? Ok, let's get you there, let's start. A home within is but a breath away. It already gently speaks to you in the heart-strings and gut intuitions you might be pushing away.

In this episode, Nadia shares a relatable personal journey of finally making a decision to GO INWARD and listen to her heart and soul, reflecting on an important question about life - Why is it most of us wait, resist, or risk it all before we make that decision? What she discovered along the way reveals much about the workings of our mind and the development of "ego" during our earlier years, how a false sense of emptiness and separation are created, yet all the while there is an infinite love readily available to us from within.

It's time to GO HOME friends! Don't wait till tomorrow, next week, or next year. Enter this holiday season with a new sense of purpose, wholeness, and joy.

Releasing Shame, Raising With Heart

Fri, 24 Oct 2025 20:00:00 -0000

Why would a parent in recovery want to look deeper into shame and inner healing? Because the tools we’ve worked so hard to build in recovery—awareness, acceptance, honesty — CAN become some of the greatest gifts we offer our children.

But the truth is, the same patterns of shame that once shaped our survival can still quietly reappear in the tender moments of parenting, affecting our ability to guide and nurture our children. But when they do, they ALSO offer us an invitation - not to judge ourselves - but to move deeper into love and connection.

This episode is an invitation to move from inherited shame toward authentic connection, guiding our children not from fear or perfection, but from a grounded, open heart.

What if the moments that trigger shame in parenting are actually invitations to heal the parts of ourselves still longing to be loved?
Learn how to build a true sense of home within your own heart—through breath, stillness, calm, and presence—so you can parent from peace, not pressure.

From Personal Recovery to Heart-Centered Parenting

Sat, 18 Oct 2025 00:00:00 -0000

What if the path to becoming the parent you always wished you had starts not with learning new parenting techniques—but with going inward?
In our latest episode, we dive deep into a transformative truth: sobriety isn’t the finish line—it’s the starting point of returning to your truest self. It’s where the real work begins. And that work leads to something powerful: parenting from the heart.
From Survival Mode to Self-Discovery
When we strip away the coping mechanisms, the numbing, and the patterns we inherited unconsciously, what’s left is raw, unfiltered presence. That can feel scary at first. But it’s also where healing and real connection begins.
In this episode, we explore:
    •    How sobriety opens the door to rediscovering your inner truth
    •    Why healing your inner child is essential—not optional—on the parenting journey
    •    The difference between parenting from shame, fear, and control versus parenting from love, acceptance, and freedom
    •    What it means to be a heart-centered parent who leads with presence, authenticity, empathy, and emotional attunement
    •    Why being “in tune” with yourself makes you naturally more in tune with your children

• The myth of perfection in parenting—and how showing up authentically is the true gift

The Inner Child Connection
Healing your inner child isn’t just about reflecting on past wounds—it’s about recognizing where those unmet needs still live inside you. When we don’t tend to those parts of ourselves, they unconsciously show up in how we parent: through reactivity, fear, emotional distance, or overcompensation.
But when we turn toward to our own pain with compassion, we change the game.
You’ll hear real stories, insights, and practical guidance on how to:
    •    Reconnect with the parts of you that needed love, safety, and validation
    •    Create space to feel without judgment, gain tools to regulate yourself that in turn result in teaching regulation to your children
    •    Break generational patterns with awareness, not shame
    •    Become the safe space for your child because you’ve learned to be that for yourself
Sobriety: The Beginning, Not the End
Sobriety is a bold and brave first step. But it’s not the peak of the mountain—it’s the trailhead. Once the numbing is gone, your true self begins to surface. That self may feel unfamiliar at first. Vulnerable. Sensitive. Real.
But it’s also the most available, grounded, and powerful version of you—the version your child most needs.
Tune In If…
~ You’re sober (or sober curious) and wondering what’s next.

~ You're overwhelmed with practical wreckage and don't know where to start.
~ You’re a parent trying to do it differently than it was done for you.
~ You feel like there’s more to healing than just “not drinking.”
~ You want to lead with love, not fear.
~ You’re ready to come home to yourself—and raise your child from that place.

~ You're ready to build a sense of "home" within the family, where safety, calm, and acceptance thrive, regardless of separation, divorce, or custody-challenges.
This episode is a permission slip to stop performing, stop perfecting, and start returning to the truth of who you really are. Your child doesn’t need you to be perfect—they need YOU to be PRESENT. And presence starts with you.

Awake Awhile, with Guest Priya Jain, Seventh Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences

Fri, 03 Oct 2025 21:00:00 -0000

Ever feel a "hole" in your heart? a disconnect from others, life, purpose? The mind feels the pain of disconnection to one's own heart. It gives us many reasons not to seek, be, and stay connected to it, and even more reasons not to feel it, not to hear it speak. But the heart is the space of complete acceptance of what is. It offers refuge from the mind, and all its chains and bonds we often attempt to escape, in various forms and ways. The heart gently offers us a home.

In this episode, Nadia and Priya Jain, Founder of Seventh Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences, explore the journey of waking one's sleeping heart, sharing their insights and lessons learned along their personal paths to wholeness, freedom, and finding a source of infinite love within, as described in poem titled "Awake Awhile," written by Hafiz.

Reparenting Your Inner-Child to Become A Better Parent, with Guest Janice J. Dowd, LMSW

Fri, 26 Sep 2025 07:00:00 -0000

As parents in recovery, we have the unique opportunity to end the cycle of trauma for generations to come. Recovery for us has always meant more than reaching physical sobriety alone, more than mental stability on its face. Recovery for us also means healing our inner childhood wounds and freeing ourselves of false beliefs that once harmed us.

With sobriety and stability we GET learn how to reparent ourselves. Reparenting is the process of creating a sense of "home within" one's own heart for your inner-child. It is learning how to give your inner child the nurturing, support, and emotional safety that may have been lacking as a child, healing past wounds, addressing unmet needs, and developing a stronger, more balanced sense of self in the present. This in turn leads to stronger, healthier, and healed family relationships across the board.

One person's trauma and/or addiction recovery incredibly opens the door to manifesting generations of healing throughout the entire family.

In this episode, Nadia and Janice V. Johnson Dowd, LMSW, Author of "Re-Building Relationships in Recovery," share their experience, strength, and hope as mother's empowering their recovery and relationships with their children and elderly parent through inner child healing, as well as the current challenges and blessings of heart-centered parenting.

A Heart of Stone

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 20:31:00 -0000

Recovery is heavy on the heart, both for ourselves and the family. Over time, the weight of self-pity and shame, regrets and resentments, fears and judgments, hardens the heart, separating us from solution, fellowship, support, and love. It happens to us all, in varying degrees and for different reasons. We might even think it is ok, as long as we don't relapse or harm others. But it is not ok. True recovery is about transforming our heart into a home of genuine love and joy, not only physical sobriety and mental stability. It is about creating serenity within ourselves so we have the ability to create peace with loved ones. In this episode, Nadia shares about a recent experience with her sons, illuminating the transformational, healing power of this process as a parent in recovery. You too can transform a heart of stone into a heart of solid recovery and blessings for both yourself and loved ones. "Our capacity to make peace with another person, and with the world, depends very much on our capacity to make peace within ourselves." Thich Nhat Hanh

Building a HOME WITHIN: Time is NOT Linear

Fri, 29 Aug 2025 07:00:00 -0000

Feel stuck in the past? Caught in fears for tomorrow? Find it difficult to accept everything exactly as it is today, in this very moment? If so, the universe is asking you to do something about it, to build a home within your heart where you can receive all the love it has to offer. In this episode, Nadia reviews the first steps to tune-in to the heart (Check Out "Building a Home Within #1"), plus introduces the healing power of changing one's perception of time itself. You’ll be challenged to explore the concept of “time” as a non-linear phenomena - that past, present, and future exist simultaneously, influencing each other in an interconnected dimension. Nadia shares how this perspective empowers her recovery. Life begins it to explain itself, profound lessons are revealed, and opportunities for deeper healing present themselves for the taking. The opportunity is now to leave a legacy of LOVE. Listen in. Tune in, then witness all fears and shame be transformed into healing power.

Grief & Shame #2 with Dr. Monica Krishnan

Sat, 16 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0000

Grief is caused by many things, and is experienced in even more varying ways. Death, divorce, physical separation, even emotional distance, can cause intense feelings of loss, confusion, and despair. It might even seem no one could possibly understand what we are going through. We may isolate and even beat ourselves up for feeling so alone and depressed, denying ourselves the love, support, understanding, and grace we deserve.

In this episode, Dr. Monica Krishnan, Pharm D, joins Nadia for a meaningful discussion about this relationship between grief and shame, what we can do to support ourselves and others, increase awareness, and most of all, prevent shame from harming the healing journey.

Dr. Monica Krishnan, PharmD, is a Clinical Pharmacist with over 25 years experience, a Mental Health and Grief Advocate, a Medical Writer for @goodrx, and an author of “Finding Pockets of Sunshine,” a children' s book about mental health and grief.

Here, on this podcast, we want you to know - you are not alone on the healing journey. Everyone deserves a safe space to share, cry, and be vulnerable. If you can’t find that place outside you right now, there is a space within you that can heal all - Home is Within You.

It Begins and Ends With You, with Guest R.G. Shore

Fri, 16 May 2025 07:00:00 -0000

The universe wants you to play again! Yet often on our recovery journey, past narratives and trauma wounds still get in the way, keeping us stuck.

The key is building awareness of how trauma manifests in the body, having a safe space within ourselves to sit with it, and building the capacity to harness its energy and direct it for our greater good. Sound impossible? It's not! R.G. Shore is proof.

For nearly 3 years, Shore was incarcerated in a racially divisive and predominantly white prison in the Pacific Northwest. During that time, he learned to meditate as well as master techniques enabling him to sit with his trauma, process it, harness the energy trauma creates, and further transform it into new pathways for change.

Today Shore, deeply devoted to his work, directs the non-profit, Northwest Wisdom, helping other released inmates create that safe space within themselves on their own healing journey. "The one thing you have to let go of is the one thing you think you were supposed to fulfill," R.G.Shore explains, "Only in letting go do we allow energy in to manifest it."

Empowered Recovery #7 - Synchronicity

Fri, 28 Mar 2025 07:00:00 -0000

When we align our recovery goals with heart and soul driven intentions, rather than ego or fear and shame-based choices, progress becomes a regular phenomenon and manifests right before our eyes.

She then guides us through how to begin clearing blocks to our soul and start to "listen" more deeply to the synchronicities in life.

From answers to long standing questions, consolation for deep seated worries, or quelling of fears nagging us at night, everything begins to fall into place when we build a relationship with our soul. How can we get there? What is the process to freedom? Listen in to be inspired and let Nadia know if you need help and guidance.

In this episode, Nadia is joined by top behavioral scientist and expert Dr. Abbie Maroño, PhD, TEDx Speaker, and Author, who raises important questions about understanding and even, dare we say, embracing shame to empower our recovery.

Freedom from the Blame Game

Fri, 25 Oct 2024 07:00:00 -0000

When one person blames another person for something bad or unfortunate, and never, or rarely, attempts to own their part and find a solution, a "Blame Game" exists. Blame games are confusing, frustrating, painful, and emotionally exhausting experiences. No one wants to be in one, so why are they so common and seemingly drawn out?

A blame game will continue "UNLESS and UNTIL BOTH individuals sit with their own discomfort first," Dr. Poulter explains, emphasizing that, by accepting responsibility for our own feelings, acts, and emotions, we are courageously vulnerable, which true intimacy requires. So how can we free ourselves from an existing blame game? How do we prevent one from happening in the first place? Listen into this episode to receive specific steps you can take and never find yourself in one again!

The Power of Silence with Priya Jain

Fri, 04 Oct 2024 20:21:00 -0000

"Silence is the warmest hug you can ever receive," Priya Jain explains, Founder Seventh

Chakra Institute of Spiritual Sciences. So why are we so afraid of it? Why do we fill our days with a sensory overload to the point we actually believe it is reality. It isn't. "Reality" exists in the non-tangible truths of life - in our heart, intuition, and knowing - all of which are available to us

through silence. The challenge is that silence requires us to put down our ego and simply just be, exactly as we are in the moment.

It took time and effort for Nadia to learn how to do this, and to this day it is a challenge, so she committed to do a silent retreat next month. In this episode, she asks Priya for motivation and gets it. "Silence is absolute acceptance as you are,

however you are. It is unconditional love," she says. Underneath the turbulence of waves around you is an ocean of love and power within you. If Nadia reached it, so can you!

Heartsease & Feathers

STORY TIME for Parents and Caregivers in Recovery is intended to inspire anyone seeking family reunification and healing. In this episode, Nadia talks about the key foundational shift from making others proud to making ourselves proud. She believes "success" is measured by the level of internal peace within, or heartsease, the lack of stress and anxiety.

As a result of recovery, actions and words begin to align more and more with core values, and internal peace grows. As a result of this shift, beautiful teaching moments with our children are possible, such as the one she shares here about helping her son learn how to tie his shoe, as well as passing down the spiritual symbolism of feathers as a source of gratitude and pride.

Stop Shame and Shaming, Part 1 of 3

Fri, 02 Aug 2024 07:00:00 -0000

Why should we care about quelling our own internal shame? Why should we stop the shaming of others? Shame is "spiritual warfare," Nadia explains in this episode, Part 1 of 3 in the Stop Shame & Shaming Series.

Shame "attacks" us individually and collectively. It erodes at our sense of self-worth, but even more so, prevents us from building a deeper connection with our true selves, a higher power, and others. Often a major roadblock during trauma and addiction recovery, shame impedes meaningful introspection, growth, healing, and connection with others.

It does not have to be that way! Nadia believes that, if we FIRST learn to identify shame, we can THEN learn through shame, and ULTIMATELY transform it into personal healing and power, rather than allowing it to pull us down a dark path.

Get Nadia's FREE Ban Shame Tip Sheet (Download/Link Below), a collection of sayings she gathered over years of recovery that helps to transform shame into power. In this episode, Nadia gives an explanation of the first 2 of 10 sayings!

Begin reducing the negative affect shame might be having in your life emotionally, mentally, spiritually, and relationally, and instead open your heart to the divine infinite healing energy of love and truth! STAY TUNED to Parts 2 and 3.

Dr. Monica Krishnan, Pharm D, joins Nadia for a meaningful discussion about the interplay between grief and shame-based emotions, including guilt, fear, and anger, and why it is important to build awareness. Whether death of a loved one, divorce, or separation, grief comes in various sources, and so does the shame that tags along with it. In this episode, you'll hear steps you can take to ensure shame does not impede healing but rather leads to it.

Dr. Monica Krishnan, PharmD, is a Clinical Pharmacist with over 25 years experience, a Mental Health and Grief Advocate, a Medical Writer for @goodrx, and an author of her forthcoming book, Finding Pockets of Sunshine, a children's' book about mental health and grief.

Death & The "Ego" Part 4 of 5 in the Core Wound Series

Fri, 28 Jun 2024 07:00:00 -0000

Part 4 of 5 in Nadia's Core Wound Series. The Core Wound series is designed to help us discover and release false beliefs our ego uses to create shame-based thoughts. Self-awareness of these beliefs and thoughts prevents a sense of separation from our true selves and each other. In this episode, Nadia discusses the false belief that death is an end. She shares how a deep rooted belief that death is an end drives unhealthy habits and patterns, and then steps we can stake to find freedom from it. If we understand life as a journey of our soul, and death but a transition, we are better able to choose love in all situations. Nadia believes that everyday we have a choice between LOVE (soul, our true selves), and/or Fear/Judgement (ego, separation). She encourages all to CHOOSE LOVE in and around us so as to embrace this life for the journey of our soul it is. MANTRA: Home is Within You.

Relationships & Attachment Theory with Dr. Stephan Poulter

Fri, 17 May 2024 07:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD, explains what attachment theory is, the four different styles, and how each is a template for how we create relationships today, including how we emotionally connect/disconnect and feel secure/insecure. He describes the different styles: Distant, Depressed, Anxious, and Secure, as well as their impact on our intimate relationships. There are underlying reasons why one person becomes co-dependent, while another keeps their distance, and why one person gets enmeshed, and another ultimately leaves. "Understanding breeds insight and healing. Blaming our parents or partners doesn't," he says. If you want to a better relationship, LISTEN IN for empowering insight!

Fri, 10 May 2024 07:00:00 -0000

Red Flags, How to Spot 'Em, and Stop Ignoring Them

Fri, 12 Apr 2024 07:00:00 -0000

In this episode, Dr. Steve lays out the brutal truth, then empowers us with details to walk away with. “It gets down to the need to be needed,” he says. When unaware of this shame-driven emotion, reflags are ignored, and we so often become the target of another’s shame and blame game. He gives helpful lists of red flags, such as love bombing, disrespecting others, blaming, never owning one’s part, punishment, ghosting, triangulation, getting grilled about past relationships. “That’s not companionship. That’s a straight-jacket.”

Mutual respect, on the other hand, has ground rules that are respected. These are green flags, and include acceptance of each’s problems, kindness, privacy, the ability to forgive, healthy introspection, and direct communication. This is a short powerful episode for anyone who has experienced the painful interplay of shame in an unhealthy relationship. After listening to this, you will no longer repeat that pattern!

Self-Acceptance, Empathy, and Relationships, with Dr. Stephan B. Poulter, PhD

Fri, 29 Mar 2024 07:00:00 -0000

What is self-acceptance? Why is it key to empathy? How does SHAME impede both? In this episode, Dr. Steve beautifully defines and explains all three, as well as the interplay between them in our intimate relationships. Self-acceptance is the roadmap for overall happiness, direction, and interpersonal success is life. "It's going within, taking an inventory, and knowing our blind spots...It can't be found in another person!," he says. Without self-acceptance, shame goes unrecognized and interrupts intimacy, honesty, and authenticity. How? and, most of all, What can we do about it?

Listen in to get specific tools for moving forward, including delineating personal boundaries, mutual values, and taking responsibility for acts and words. Ultimately, with self-acceptance, relationships become beautiful spaces to grow, heal, and thrive together! STAY TUNED for future episodes on Dr. Steve's new book, Modern Masculinity.

Is Love Earned or Innate?

Fri, 22 Mar 2024 07:00:00 -0000

Part 3 of a 6 Part Core Wounds Series, for anyone on a recovery journey feeling disconnected to their soul and/or a higher power. Here, WE ARE NOT DEFECTIVE, rather our mind creates defective thoughts based on false beliefs detrimental to our physical and emotional sobriety. By identifying core wounds, the source of shame-based thoughts becomes clear. When we used to habitually ignore or numb these thoughts away, Today we work to acknowledge, process, and lift away, empowering ourselves to gain deeper spiritual and human connections. In this episode, Nadia shares about a personal false belief she had/has to earn LOVE, rather than the fact WE ARE LOVE and deserve LOVE INNATELY. How did it show up as a child and continue to harm her in adulthood? What does it mean to be love and deserve it innately? How might the false belief pop up today, and what can we do to try and prevent harm? How does this enable a stronger sense of a home within us? LISTEN IN. Nadia's Mantra: TODAY I CHOOSE LOVE (Soul) over fear/judgment (Ego/Mind).

Fri, 23 Feb 2024 08:00:00 -0000

Part 2 of What's the Solution, with Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD, a shame expert, and author of The Shame Factor. We all long for three things: to be seen, understood, and approved of. In this episode, Dr. Poulter and I discuss why we have to do that for ourselves first and where to begin. "Insight is an acquired skill," he explains, "by accepting who we are, we begin to remove the amnesia many don't even recognize they're in!" Basically, we gotta discover the narrative we've been carrying around in our head since childhood. "You can't drive the car when it's parked," he says, but WE CAN indeed soar in life and relationships by gaining insight and going within. Listen in to discover where to start.

What's the Solution? with Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD

Fri, 16 Feb 2024 08:00:00 -0000

"If we are transparent, shame can't exist. Turn the lights on, it's no longer dark," Dr. Stephan B. Poulter, PhD, explains in this episode, including insight into healing the lost boy and girl within us. He walks us through the first baby steps out of shame, including seven red flags to begin acknowledging it. What's next? "What's the inner narrative in your head?" he challenges us, then "What's the rebuttal to that false belief?," and "What's the action you can take to change that?"

Dr. Poulter, PhD, is a shame expert and author of "The Shame Factor" and soon to be released "Modern Masculinity." He draws upon his decades of experience treating different ages and ethnicities with his deep understanding of the problem of shame. Following his guidance, we can uncover our fundamental emotional wounds and beliefs, then change them for the better, enabling a more authentic and joyful life living in the present!

The Truth of Interpersonal Violence, with Nancy O'Malley, District Attorney (retired)

Fri, 02 Feb 2024 08:00:00 -0000

This is a raw, powerful episode. Nancy is a national victim's rights leader and wrote the preface in Nadia's memoir, Home is Within You. As a result of a violent assault that included strangulation, Nancy and other leaders championed changes to strangulation laws, investigations, and findings. Please be advised that Nancy and Nadia discuss aspects of interpersonal violence and abuse as well as why trauma-informed practices and investigations are critical to finding the truth. How can trauma informed responses and media coverage increase public safety and awareness? What are the causes of victim-blaming? How can we reduce the shaming of survivors' responses to interpersonal violence? Nadia shares a tragic life-changing adult-trauma and the gratitude in knowing it at least resulted in positive change for other survivors. THANK YOU Nancy O'Malley!

Part 2 of 5 Core Wounds Series - The Feeling of Separation

Tue, 23 Jan 2024 08:00:00 -0000

Part 2 of a 5 Part Series on Core Wounds. Building awareness of core wounds and beliefs from childhood empowers us to recognize the source of shame-based thoughts and thereafter transform them into power. In this episode, Nadia describes the core wound of "feeling separate" - including how it evolves young, what it feels like, and how it negatively affects us, including two short readings from her book, Home is Within You, A Memoir of Recovery and Redemption. We do not have to live with the phenomena of feeling separate from our true selves and others. We can indeed find freedom from our mind's trickery, and build stronger connection to our true selves, and thus authentic relationships with others.

Relationships and Shame with Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD

Fri, 12 Jan 2024 08:00:00 -0000

This is a juicy episode! Regular guest, Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD, explains two important things: 1) Shame, self-love, and intimacy are incompatible because they can never peacefully co-exist, and 2) The relationship with ourselves sets the tempo, platform, and rhythm for every other relationship in our life. Where to start? Dr. Steve says we must first acknowledge the "blind spot," or be honest with ourselves about symptoms of shame in order to build human connection with others. "All roads lead back to Rome," or back to the truth within us, otherwise, relationships are merely filled with mind games. Listen in and learn how to find that blind spot if you seek honest and meaningful relationships.

Story Time - The Bouncy House & Mountain Top

Tue, 09 Jan 2024 08:00:00 -0000

#2 in a Story Time Series from and for parents in recovery, or anyone who cares about the next generation. Nadia shares life moments when parenting merged with recovery learnings, transforming shame from the past into power today. Shame often impedes the ability of those in recovery to be truly present for our children. But there is a way forward. The truth is, we love our children and did the best we could with what we knew. TODAY, connected to the truth of love, we can better ban shame-based thoughts, focus on the NEW PATH, and respond to life differently, more "present" in every moment. In this episode, Nadia gives an overview of the past year's learnings followed by two short stories exemplifying how strengthening an ability to sit with uncomfortable feelings results in increased stability, joy, and a sense of security for her children. This episode will inspire all caretakers, no matter where they're at on their journey, to continue on the road of recovery, both for themselves and the little ones in their lives.

Check Out Holiday Prep #1 before diving into this episode, using it as a "post-holiday" review of emotional triggers that came up, enabling healing and empowerment in the new year! During the holiday season, dormant feelings and beliefs get triggered. In this episode, Dr. Stephan Poulter and I continue giving tips to walk through them should they still be present, and they likely are. It's not about shutting off triggers, it's about what we do with them today! It's about not getting stuck in old issues, narratives, and patterns shame often breeds. What thoughts and emotions distracted you most this holiday season? The answer can determine what core childhood wounds and false beliefs the mind uses to keep one captive today. Dr. Poulter explains, "If you're not present in the moment, you're at the mercy of something else." What is that something else? Want to be free? Dive in, knowing "the bridge from immaturity to maturity sits with the ability to sit with uncomfortable feelings," which in turn leads to emotional wisdom and sobriety!

Shame Defined, with Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD

Fri, 01 Dec 2023 15:59:00 -0000

What is shame? In this episode, Dr. Poulter and I get deep into defining and explaining what shame is, using my childhood story as a guinea pig. Do you have shame? You'll know the answer is "yes" after listening. Shame is the secret belief you are defective, inferior, or there's simply something wrong with you. Where does this come from? Why this belief? Why this misbelief? Why do we keep it secret? Plus, how does shame commonly show up? This is a powerful discussion serving as a starting point to drag shame out of the shadows so we can transform it into power!

Story Time for Parents in Recovery

Tue, 21 Nov 2023 08:00:00 -0000

This is the first "Story Time for Parents in Recovery." One of the biggest blessings of trauma and addiction recovery is that we can teach our kids what we wish we knew when we were younger! How do we teach our children the importance of building a connection to a higher power, when ultimately its what saved our lives? How do we exemplify maintaining a supportive community around us, and not isolating? How do we teach our kids to do daily inventories of thoughts and emotions, when we have to do it ourselves? Let's tell our stories of parenting the little one within us and how it enables us to be better parents to the little ones around us! In this episode I share two recent experiences in which my spiritual journey helped my kids think beyond their immediate lives and hopefully, begin their own relationship to a power beyond them.

Are We "Homeless"? with Dr. Stephan Poulter, PhD

Fri, 06 Oct 2023 07:00:00 -0000

Shame runs you out of your" home" - All of us struggle. So why is it that it seems we live in a society set on shaming those struggles, both within and around us? According to Dr. Stephan Poulter, author of The Shame Factor-Heal Your Deepest Fears and Set Yourself Free unless we become aware of what shame is, the symptoms, beginnings, emotional cycles, as well as how it hides and terrorizes us, and, most of all, how we can rewire ourselves and heal, we are all at risk of feeling 'homeless,' like I did.

Here Dr. Poulter offers his childhood story, when shame was named, and what he did about it to find freedom and eventually work to help others. Dr. Poulter is a licensed clinical individual/family psychologist in private practice in West Los Angeles, CA, working with a multitude of psychological/life issues in a variety of settings (law enforcement, seminary) as well as for people of all ages, parents, step-parents, and couples. He has been providing professional mental health services to clients for over 35 years, has written several books, is a public speaker on parenting, adolescent and spiritual/psychology issues, and soon to be released book A New Masculinity, A Compassionate Guidebook to Male Mental Health.

Trailer: Home is Within You with Nadia Davis launches September 1

Fri, 18 Aug 2023 07:00:00 -0000

I’m Nadia Davis, a mom, attorney, kundalini yoga teacher, and author of "Home is Within You, A Memoir of Recovery and Redemption" and roadmap out of the choking grasp of shame. We all struggle in life, and, more importantly, we all deserve a safe place to share, cry, and be vulnerable. So why does it seem we live in a society and mind addicted to shaming our struggles? It’s time that change. It's time we choose love over fear and judgment in our response to others, and time we have a safe place within ourselves that heals all. Public shame added layers on unrecognized shame within me and brought me to my knees. I found a way out of darkness and today I stand tall in my truth living the work every day to stay grounded in a home within me. Here. regular guests and I take shame out of the shadows and look it straight in the eyes. We ask: How does shame manifest; why it is such a powerful emotion; how does it damage us mentally, physically, and spiritually; how do we free ourselves and transform shame into power?

There is a way and it begins Friday September 1st. Remember to follow Home is Within You wherever you get your podcasts! FREE Ban Shame Tip Sheet, 20% discount on Home is Within You, and Support Shatterproof here: https://www.nadia-davis.com/
