117 - Healing trauma, overcoming addiction, reconnecting with your soul ft. Dr Elisa Hallerman
Daily Devotion™ is now live on the App Store & Google Play — unlock your healthiest, happiest, highest self with somatic daily wellness rituals, free for 7 days → [REDEEM]
Do you ever find yourself asking yourself quietly (or loudly) ‘is this it?. ‘Is this everything I was put on this Earth to experience?’. Or ‘when I just get X, Y or Z I’ll be happier?’ Alternatively, do you find yourself thinking you have most of the things you should have to be happy, but something is missing? Maybe you keep partying, on repeat, or relying on drugs or alcohol to get through the week? Do you want more but don’t know where to go next? If the answer is yes, you’re not alone.
Sobriety didn't revolutionize Dr. Elisa's life as she hoped it might. In fact, it was the moment when Vince Vaughn fired her from her position as his best-in-the-business, high-flying manager at United Talent Agency that the rest of her life truly began.
Next, the Universe guided her on a journey to becoming a Doctor in Depth Psychology with a focus on Neuroscience and Trauma, and then onto founding the first-ever Recovery Management Agency.
Today, Louise & Dr. Elisa discuss:
The feeling of 'I'll be happy when I just get there.'
The concepts of trauma, chronic trauma, and their connection to our physical body.
How the limbic system can't communicate with you in words; it can only communicate in feelings and energy.
The concept of 'wearing a mask' in day-to-day life and losing ourselves in this identity.
How we have a 'crisis of meaning’ and what to do next
What it means to have a spiritual practice (and how to start).
How rejection is always redirection, plus
How to help someone who is navigating addiction
Louise also shares her own personal stories around her own recent rejection, redirection and soul whispers- as well as her own journey with asking frequently ‘is this it'?
Real talk, honest conversations, and stories that make you think—welcome to The Healing Honeys. Hit play and let’s get into it.

116 - Emotional eating, binge eating + the nervous system
Daily Devotion™ is now live on the App Store & Google Play — unlock your healthiest, happiest, highest self with somatic daily wellness rituals, free for 7 days → [REDEEM]
Have you learned about the crazy connection between food and our nervous system yet? Understanding your nervous system (and polyvagal theory) could overhaul your relationship with eating and food. Is food the ultimate drug and most widely available method of self soothing? Does it help us understand why we reach for food, when we may need to reach for something else? Today we ask: are you hungry for love, or hungry for food, or is your nervous system crying out for help?
Louise is joined by integrative health practitioner, Sarah Murphy, as they have a totally new way of looking at comfort eating, binge eating and your relationship with food.
The pair discuss:
How childhood shapes our relationship with food
Hunger for love, hunger for bonding & the oxytocin deficiency theory
Why feeling loved, seen, heard and cherished can reduce emotional eating or binge eating
Why we eat when we’re not hungry (pleasure, calming and self soothing)
Understanding the impact of stress on our appetite and how it affects our relationship with food
The connection between nervous system regulation, dysregulation, the vagus nerve and our emotional eating patterns.
+ The Ladder Analogy - how food can take you through different states of the nervous system when we need to learn to ‘scaffold’ on our own.
Sarah also delivers us a suite of top tips and tricks on how to break this emotional eating cycle covering lifestyle changes, cold plunging, bodywork, gut health, supplement recommendations, and more.
Real talk, honest conversations, and stories that make you think—welcome to The Healing Honeys. Hit play and let’s get into it.

115 - Meeting an Ex: When to Do It and When to Walk Away
Daily Devotion™ is now live on the App Store & Google Play — unlock your healthiest, happiest, highest self with somatic daily wellness rituals, free for 7 days → [REDEEM]
There are some situations when meeting an ex is necessary, and some where it is NOT. Today, in Part 2 of the ‘Ex Factor - when should I meet up with an ex’ series, Louise & clinical psychologist Dr. Tari Mack get into that question. They discuss:
Collecting and exchanging stuff
When meeting an ex is an absolute necessity and when it's a big NO
The Checklist - discussing intentions, expectations, time frames and healing
How to handle mutual friends, parties and co-parenting
The importance of setting boundaries and considering the impact on others when meeting with an ex
Plus, to send or not to send? They also discuss the age old ‘writing a letter to an ex’ - should you send it, should you not? Dr. Tari and Louise have slightly different opinions on this one. Join us to work out where you stand on the ‘send it, or don’t send it’ spectrum.

111 - The f**kboy, the alpha male and the healthy male
Daily Devotion™ is now live on the App Store & Google Play — unlock your healthiest, happiest, highest self with somatic daily wellness rituals, free for 7 days → [REDEEM]
We all know an alpha male (and have been hurt by one too!), but have you ever wondered why this dynamic occurs, how it develops, and how it shows up in life, love, & relationships? Today, Louise chats with Zack Alexander, a practitioner who skillfully blends psychology, somatics, and spirituality, about the concepts of the healthy male, the alpha male, and the 'scared little boy,' and most of all - how to navigate these situations.
Louise & Zack discuss:
Male sexual promiscuity
The concepts of avoidance and running from feeling
The ancestral drivers of suppression of help-seeking behavior
Why (in hetero relationships) women want their men to be more emotional, until it happens
The fine line between ‘being emotional’ and ‘trauma dumping’
The pair also discuss ways to support the alpha males in our lives by fostering an environment that encourages emotional expression, vulnerability, and genuine connection. We ask - do men need to heal with men? In relationships? Or in community? And Zack tells us all.
