Healing Trauma Through Food & Befriending the Body with Luis Moijca

Step into a deeply honest, embodied, and paradigm-shifting conversation with Luis Mojica, somatic practitioner, trauma-informed nutritionist, and founder of Holistic Life Navigation, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Luis brings a rare integration of nervous system work, food health, and trauma healing, inviting us to understand the body not as a problem to fix, but as a language to listen to. Luis shares his personal journey of growing up in an intersex body, navigating confusion, bullying, shame, and deep isolation. Without an empathic witness, he internalized his pain, leading to anxiety, panic, insomnia, and PTSD symptoms that he coped with through food.  We explore how his path into healing began with picking up a guitar, learning to be 'held' through the guitar against his torso, allowing sounds, then singing to begin healing his trauma. Then through nutrition, witnessing firsthand how food could radically shift mental health, over time, his work evolved beyond "what to eat" into a much deeper question: Why does the body reach for certain foods in the first place? How are those patterns rooted in nervous system regulation, not lack of discipline? Luis introduces a powerful reframe of trauma and stress through the lens of resonance with the body. Stress can resolve, but trauma keeps the system braced, locked in chronic fight-or-flight. He explains how certain foods can either stimulate, depress, or balance the nervous system, sometimes triggering the same physiological responses as emotional shock or danger. We also talk about: -Trauma as the absence of an empathic witness -The connection between food habits and nervous system states -Chronic adrenaline and living in a braced body -Why coping mechanisms are intelligent, not wrong -Food as a regulator of anxiety, panic, and overwhelm -Moving beyond "healthy vs unhealthy" into body awareness -Somatic experiencing and self-inquiry as healing tools -Shame, secrecy, and the body's protective adaptations -Relearning safety and compassion from the inside out -Creating a relationship with the body rooted in curiosity and kindness In real time, Luis' capacity as a trauma facilitator was revealed as I had an insight into my desire for a glass of wine at the end of the day. He was elegant in holding space for my tears, guiding my somatic awareness, being with my emotions that transmuted into insights, awareness and integration right before our eyes… How amazing to meet a facilitator who can provide for me what I provide for my clients- no one can see our own blindspots. How nourishing to experience a brother whose soul lives for supporting others in integrating trauma in real time. This episode is an invitation to soften your judgment and deepen your listening. It reminds us that the body is not working against us, it is working for us, always seeking safety, regulation, and connection. Healing begins when we stop forcing change and start understanding the intelligence beneath our patterns.

Redefine success, legacy, and leadership from the inside out in this powerful episode of Intimate Conversations with entrepreneur, father, and business growth coach Dan Sachkowsky. Dan joins me for a raw, real conversation about pressure, heartbreak, resilience, and what it actually takes to build a life that feels aligned, not just impressive on paper. Dan opens up about surviving a heart attack at forty and how that near-death moment became a wake-up call that shifted everything. From navigating divorce and parental alienation to rebuilding his relationship with his son, Dan shares how presence, patience, and emotional honesty changed the trajectory of his life, fatherhood, and business. We explore how grit does not mean suppressing emotions, but learning how to feel fully without collapsing. Dan breaks down the inner work that allowed him to move from chasing money to building legacy, and how letting go of control created more freedom, impact, and fulfillment than hustling ever did. To me that feels like an integration of internal Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine qualities, surrender and soul impact.  You'll also hear how nature, land, and animals became a powerful regulation tool for his nervous system, and why slowing down was the key to regaining clarity, connection, and trust in life. We also talk about: -The heart attack as a wake-up call and redefining success -Divorce, grief, and navigating parental alienation without giving up -How to stay emotionally available without forcing outcomes -The power of prayer, journaling, and feeling instead of numbing -Rebuilding trust and connection with an estranged child -Why presence creates safety in parenting and relationships -Legacy vs chasing money and external validation -How businesses trap owners and what true entrepreneurship looks like -Releasing control, building systems, and reclaiming time and freedom -Why grit rooted in compassion is more powerful than force This episode is a reminder that healing does not come from doing more, but from being more present with what is true. It is an invitation to soften, stay, and trust that alignment creates impact naturally as a soulful entrepreneur, father and man.  Learn more about Dan and his work at https://dansachkowsky.com/ and follow him on Instagram for grounded insights on leadership, fatherhood, and living with purpose.   ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content! About Dan:   I'm an entrepreneur, business growth coach, and father who built multiple companies from the ground up and learned the hard way what pressure, failure, and responsibility really mean. After surviving a heart attack at 40, my definition of success changed from chasing money to building legacy, discipline, and impact. Today, I help business owners break through bottlenecks, take full ownership of their lives, and scale with clarity, structure, and relentless execution.

Step into a raw, courageous, and heart-opening conversation with Sean Clayton and Sophia Powe, partners in life, love, and deep inner work, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Together, they share a lived journey of trauma, healing, accountability, and the sacred devotion required to move from soulmates shaped by wounds into a wholemate partnership rooted in truth. Sophia, an award-winning Storyteller and former CMO, and Sean, a Miracle Code Abundance Architect, open the conversation vulnerably about their nonlinear love story, including betrayal, separation, profound personal reckoning, and the choice to stop bypassing pain and finally feel what had been avoided for decades. Their relationship became the crucible that forced each of them to confront inner child wounds, people-pleasing, shame, guilt, and the survival strategies that once kept them safe, but no longer served. We explore how real intimacy is built not through chemistry or spiritual language, but through nervous system regulation, embodied presence, and the willingness to stay with discomfort rather than manipulate outcomes. Sean shares how learning to feel sadness, anger, and fear in his body freed him from performance and strategy. Sophia reflects on reclaiming self-worth, being willing to be seen, and choosing herself without abandoning love. We also talk about: -Moving from rolemate and soulmate patterns into wholemate partnership -Trauma bonding versus conscious, embodied intimacy -Inner child healing and staying present with difficult emotions -Ending spiritual bypassing and integrating shadows -Boundaries, self-responsibility, and asking for help -Nervous system regulation in relationship conflict -Choosing love without abandoning the self -Marriage as a sacred container for growth, not avoidance This episode is an extraordinarily powerful reminder that the work works. That love deepens when we stop running from ourselves. And that wholeness within is what makes true intimacy possible with another.

Through powerful client stories, she shares how evidential readings bring comfort, validation, and healing to those navigating grief, offering undeniable moments that loved ones are still present, guiding, and connected. She shares the deeper layers of spirit communication, including signs, visitations, energetic sensitivity, and the importance of surrendering control.

Healing does not come from certainty, but from allowing the mystery to meet us with grace.  You can learn more about Barbra and her work at bannermedium.com. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content!

Through their relationship, both partners became more themselves, not less. YES! We dive into the sacred dance of polarity, including how masculine provision, responsibility, and presence create safety for feminine surrender, and how feminine trust and devotion awaken deeper leadership in men. Allan speaks candidly about navigating financial disparity, ego death, fear, conditioning around equality, and how choosing truth over comfort transformed both his relationship and his business 10x. We also explore how couples heal not by fixing each other, but by releasing blame, shame, and unconscious morality, and learning to relate from awareness instead.

Step into a riveting, entertaining and unexpectedly tender conversation with Larry Namer, co-founder of E! Entertainment Television, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. From growing up in Coney Island to helping build one of the most influential media networks in the world, Larry shares the unlikely path that shaped his life, leadership, and legacy. Larry reflects on his early years as a scrappy Brooklyn kid, rising through the ranks of the cable industry by curiosity, confidence, and a refusal to follow the expected path. What began as a temporary summer job underground splicing cables turned into a meteoric rise, eventually leading him to Los Angeles and the bold vision that became E! Entertainment. We explore how E! was built not with massive funding or prestige, but with creativity, interns, borrowed equipment, and a willingness to ignore the rules of Hollywood. Larry shares the stories behind groundbreaking moments, sneaking onto red carpets, launching shows like Talk Soup, and recognizing that people wanted entertainment that felt real, playful, and unscripted. The conversation deepens as Larry opens up about the most transformative moment of his life– when his teenage son was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and given months to live, everything shifted. Against all odds, his son survived and has now been cancer-free for over twenty years. That experience redefined Larry's priorities, teaching him that success means presence, perspective, and finding joy in the moment beyond achievement. We also talk about: -Growing up resilient and self-confident despite humble beginnings -Building E! Entertainment outside traditional media power structures -Creativity born from limitation and necessity -Leadership through intuition, humor, and risk-taking -Fatherhood, regret, and the cost of ambition -A near-miraculous healing that changed everything -Finding peace,  regulation and joy through cooking and creativity This episode is a reminder that the recipe for success does not come from perfection, prestige or permission, but from trusting yourself, staying curious, not being attached and keeping life in perspective. Larry's story shows that the greatest achievements mean little without love, presence, and the courage to live and love fully. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content! About Larry:   While I've interviewed actresses like Whoopi Goldberg, Musicians like Alan's Morissette, Quantum Physicists like Nassim Haramein, Coached Leeza Gibbons through Dancing with the Stars, and even met Joe Torres when I interned at Macy's Herald Square… never in a million years would I think I would meet let alone interview the founder of a huge TV network, one of my first internships in NYC after living in Japan, Larry Namer…  Today we have this industry veteran with over 50 years of entertainment experience on our show. He is best known as the founder of E! Entertainment Network, a network that continues to shape pop culture today and has launched the careers of many of today's pop culture superstars from Howard Stern to The Kardashians. While creating more shows that include a social conscious and enjoying cooking for his family including a new grandson, Larry has published Off Script- Recipes for Success.

Step into a deeply nourishing conversation about feminine awakening, soul truth, deeper embodiment, and self-first devotion with Ann Marie Ziegler, co-founder of Aryaa Organic, on this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light. Ann Marie shares her journey from being the "good woman" who did everything right on the outside, while feeling disconnected and suffocated within, to bravely listening to her body's wisdom when it began speaking through illness, inflammation, and exhaustion. What followed was a profound dark night of the soul that initiated her spiritual awakening, reclamation of her voice, and devotion to living in alignment with truth. She opens up about the courage it took to speak honestly to her family, end a decades-long marriage with love, and model self-honoring for her children. We explore how opening her fifth chakra and releasing shame, guilt, and people-pleasing allowed her to step fully into her power, creativity, and feminine expression. Together, we dive into how ancient wisdom, Ayurveda, and ancestral foods became medicine not only for her body, but for her nervous system, clarity, and intuition. Ann Marie shares how the Aryaa detox supports emotional, mental, and physical release, and why healing happens when we stop controlling the process and allow the body to lead. We also talk about: -Disconnection from the body as a root cause of illness -The difference between Self-first and the selfish/selfless cycle  -Speaking truth with love and without apology -Releasing shame, guilt, and perfectionism -Healing through ancestral foods and ancient wisdom -Emotional and mental detox as pathways to clarity and peace -Conscious partnership, service, and giving back as a business devotion I love this woman.

This episode is a powerful reminder that healing begins when we listen to the body, honor the soul's timing, and choose Soul alignment over approval. It's about letting go of the mind asking WHY? and instead listening to the quieter inner heart-nudges.

Step into a breathtaking story of redemption, devotion, and soul-level partnership in this episode of Intimate Conversations: Dark Night to Divine Light with Frank and Kat Parisi. Married for over thirty years, parents to their son Sonny, Frank and Kat share what it truly means to navigate addiction, trauma, near death, and profound awakening together, without ever abandoning true love. Frank opens up about growing up in extreme juxtaposition of familial wealth and unspeakable trauma, then decades of addiction, and finally a moment of pristine clarity that led him into recovery in 2011. He shares how sobriety became a doorway into service, faith, and purpose, and how a life-saving heart transplant in 2023, receiving the heart of a nineteen-year-old young woman, deepened his devotion to healing generational trauma and living for something greater than himself. Kat shares with remarkable honesty what it was like to love and stay with Frank through addiction, chaos, and recovery. She speaks about loyalty, exhaustion, faith, and the quiet strength it took to rebuild trust, communicate honestly, and do her own healing alongside his. Together, they reflect on how recovery is not just about getting sober, but about repairing intimacy, rebuilding respect, and learning how to truly see and hear one another's deepest Truth. We explore how trauma lives in the nervous system, how faith and spirituality became anchors during Frank's hospital stay, and how their son Sunny became the living "why" that called Frank back to life. From hospital prayers and divine interventions to rebuilding their marriage with transparency, affection, and daily communication, their story is a living testament to resilience and grace. We also talk about: -Addiction, shame, and the cycle of trauma -Recovery as nervous system healing and spiritual practice -Staying committed through chaos and rebuilding trust -Heart transplant as awakening and generational healing -Marriage as devotion, communication, and accountability -Parenting through trauma and modeling resilience -Love that deepens through vulnerability rather than perfection This episode is a reminder that healing is possible, marriages can be reborn, and love can become stronger after everything falls apart. Frank and Kat embody what it looks like when the divine masculine and feminine rise together, transforming pain into purpose and family into sanctuary. Their son Sonny is literally writing Raps praising the journey of his amazing family!  You can learn more about Frank's work, courses, and memoir Embrace Abundance at frank-parisi.com, explore Emotion Wellness Center in San Antonio, and follow Frank on Instagram at @frankparisi2011. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content! About Frank and Kat:   The story of Frank Parisi is one out of a Hollywood movie. Growing up on the tough streets of New York City dealing with incredible adversity and challenges, Frank resorted to using drugs, alcohol and violence to survive. After decades of abusing his mind, body and soul Frank had a spiritual awakening on July 31, 2011 and found recovery as a new way of life. His mission since has been to inspire others to make better choices in life and not live the life he did prior to getting sober. Sobriety hasn't come without challenges. In 2023, Frank received a life saving heart transplant—the heart of a 19-year-old girl—which further deepened his commitment to living a purpose-driven, faith-fueled life. Today, he shares his story with raw honesty and uplifting clarity, helping others shift from scarcity to abundance in every area of life. The surgery has taken his belief of abundance, being kind and of service to others to another level. His mission now is to spread that message around the world. Parisi published his memoir Embrace Abundance on August 1, 2024 and became a best selling author. He's a partner and spokesperson for E-motion Wellness Center in San Antonio, a keynote speaker and offers private consulting to others as a successful self-made entrepreneur. Frank resides in Austin, Texas with his wife and son and committed to his own wellness and fitness routine on a daily basis. Katherine Parisi is a native New Yorker who has escaped the cold and now happily resides in Austin, Texas. An attorney by trade, Katherine has practiced law in both New York and Austin for the last 20 years, handling all aspects of civil litigation and primarily insurance defense. She married her high school sweetheart, Frank, and navigated the last 30 years of life with him, walking hand in hand as he overcame drug addiction, a life saving heart transplant, and in his newfound role as a social media phenom, bringing light and hope to all he encounters. Her pride and joy is her 9 year old son, Sonny, and she has found endless joy in being a soccer mom. In her free time, she enjoys travel, reading, and enthusiastically cheering her son on from the sidelines for whatever sport is in season.
