From Survival to Alignment: Healing Shame to Step Into Personal Power

June 05, 2025 • Diana Nguyen • Season 1 • Episode 60

What if the shame you carry isn’t yours to hold—and the survival patterns keeping you stuck are actually invitations to come home to yourself?

In this episode, we sit down with Julie Cielo, a somatic therapist, transformational coach, and wellness disruptor, to explore how shame lodges in the body, keeps us in survival mode, and disconnects us from our personal power.

Raised in rural Appalachia and once on the path to becoming a mortician, Julie shares her extraordinary journey of healing complex trauma, overcoming autoimmune illness, pivoting out of entrepreneurship, and aligning with her soul’s calling to help others do the same.

Together, we unpack:

What toxic shame really is—and how it shows up physically and emotionally
The difference between surviving and living in alignment
The power of somatic healing to help you release inherited patterns
How to reclaim your voice, intuition, and inner authority
Why your body holds the keys to your liberation
What it looks like to lead with soul, not fear

If you’re an entrepreneur, leader, or woman who’s felt disconnected from your body, identity, or purpose—this episode will feel like a deep exhale and a loving wake-up call.

✨ Plus, Julie shares details about her upcoming Mexico retreat and a free resource: Somatic Healing for Shame — available on her website below.
