Ep. 254 - Vienna Pharaon - Finding & Healing Your Core Wounds
EXPANDED Podcast by To Be Magnetic™
The Interconnectedness of Safety and Trust
When we're talking about the absence of safety, we are often talking about the presence of abuse. So this is a really tender chapter that I always remind people and encourage them to take very good care when they read it. There's such an interconnectedness of like, what does safety look like? Right? Because with the people who are supposed to be safe, when the people who were supposed to protect me are the people who weren't there... That's a significant rupture. Where am I safe? Where am I secure?"
Right now, today, in this very instant, your childhood wounds are playing out – in your communication style, in your anxieties, in all your conflicts with friends, family, coworkers, romantic partners, and more. That’s how powerful our wounds are. And simply becoming aware of them makes us that much more powerful! So we brought one of NYC’s best and brightest LMFTs, Vienna Pharaon, onto the Expanded Podcast to help us do just that. And her new book, The Origins of You, is our new instruction manual. In this episode, Vienna gives us an overview of the book and introduces us to the 5 core wounds that may be running your show. Jess and Vienna talk all things coping strategies, being the black sheep of the family, perfectionism, “unconditional love” that is actually conditional – you know, all the good childhood trauma stuff. But the difference is Vienna cuts through the overwhelming existentialism that comes with the healing journey and gives us the inspiration to start. To continue! To press onwards in this lifetime pursuit of healing for the sake of our own authenticity. We’re all on this path together!

Hosted by TBM’s Chief Content Officer Jessica Gill, with monthly appearances from founder Lacy Phillips, Expanded is where science and the mystical meet to help you manifest in the most grounded, practical, and life-changing way.
At TBM, we’ve redefined manifestation through Neural Manifestation™—our proven, science-backed method developed with neuroscientist Dr. Tara Swart. This process helps you reprogram limiting beliefs at the subconscious level so you can create the life most aligned with your authenticity.
Each week, we take you inside the TBM practice to help you expand your subconscious to believe what you desire is possible. Through expert interviews, thought leader conversations, TBM teachings, and real member success stories, you’ll learn how to:
– Rewire your subconscious mind and step into your worth
– Heal your inner child and integrate shadow work
– Set boundaries, strengthen intuition, and reclaim self-worth
– Manifest relationships, careers, abundance, and experiences that align with your true self
With over than 40 million downloads and a global community in over 100 countries, Expanded has become the gold standard in manifestation content. Think of it as your weekly practice for expanding your mind, believing what you want is possible, and manifesting the life you’re meant to live.
Past guests include leading voices such as Mel Robbins, Lewis Howes, Jenna Zoe, Martha Beck, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Gabor Maté, Mark Groves, and Brianna Wiest.
