Listen in as Anya shares her life story, scarred by sexual trauma and severe health challenges. Anya details her path to healing through the power of natural remedies and emotional fortitude in her remarkable health journey. We delve into the pain that lurks within cycles of familial abuse and the fraught road to validation and boundary-setting amidst such deep-seated trauma. Anya sheds an unflinching light on the flaws of our medical system that fails some of us and the culture of silence that often leaves survivors without the protection and recognition they need for their recovery. Her courage in speaking out is a profound call for societal change, and her insights offer solace and solidarity to those whose voices have also been dismissed or unheard, like hers. In the throes of our discussion, Anya shares her toolkit for mending the wounds of trauma, underscoring the vital role of wellness practices in her own recovery.

I was sick for 13 years and faced many challenges including Sheehan's Syndrome which is a brain injury caused by hemorrhaging during childbirth, SAI, EDS, MCAS, POTS, and more. With the help of fruit, cold-pressed juice, and a high raw vegan diet I’ve lost 120 pounds and kept it off, healed most of my conditions, learned to manage the rest naturally without medication, and I’ve emerged healthier and stronger than I ever was before. I was dismissed by the medical system and had to learn to manage my health conditions by myself to stay alive.

I never truly understood the depth of emotional scars until Karen Fullerton, a certified quantum energy practitioner, walked me through her profound journey of healing. Her story, marked by struggles with emotional neglect and self-abuse, sheds light on the invisible wounds many of us carry and the critical importance of facing them head-on. In our heartfelt conversation, Karen teaches us to view emotions not just as feelings but as frequencies that shape our reality. She opens up about her childhood experiences, illustrating how these vibrational energies can either ensnare us or set us free, depending on our ability to recognize and transform them into joy and liberation. Throughout this episode, we traverse the transformative path of emotional awareness and self-empowerment. Karen encourages us to become present with our emotions, to sit with them and observe them without judgment as a means to catalyze change. We delve into the power of vibrational frequencies in shaping our life experiences and how they can help us attract what we truly desire. The episode is rounded off with a discussion on the union of music and emotional healing, and we peek into "The Seven Insights to Emotional Wellness," Karen's online course which promises to revolutionize how we deal with our emotions and guide us toward a state of emotional well-being. Join us on this journey as we learn to harmonize our inner frequencies and create a life resonating with happiness and health. Karen Fullerton in her own words Don’t give up. Spiral Up. Too many women and service-oriented entrepreneurs feel like giving up on their dreams. They lose faith in themselves because results aren’t equaling their efforts and burnout sets in. I know I did! I didn’t always integrate energy principles in my executive or entrepreneurial business career, even as a quantum energy practitioner. I’m not talking Law of Attraction or the power of positive thinking. In fact, these masculine principles are only half of the equation, and why I experienced entrepreneurial struggles. My determination and independent nature as a Gen Xer resisted anything other than the power of the mind as the only driver of success! Even with my 4.0 GPA in business and entrepreneurial mindset… It took the closing of my marketing business and filing bankruptcy before I allowed feminine energy principles, spirituality, and a bit of physics to co-create my strategy for my most fulfilling success: Founder of The Sergei Foundation—a nonprofit organization raising more than 1 million dollars to save the lives of more than 5,000 pets for lower-income families.
