Have you ever felt like talk therapy just scratched the surface—but your body was holding onto something deeper?

In this soul-shifting episode, I sit down with intuitive guide Donnie Summers to explore how he turned years of depression, trauma, and suicidal ideation into a journey of spiritual and emotional healing. We talk about his sacred mentorship with the Yavapai tribe, how the body holds wisdom, the truth about our inner “parts,” and what it really takes to come home to yourself.

💬 You’ll walk away with a deeper understanding of EFT, Parts Work, somatic awareness, and how love can transform your life from the inside out.
