S2 Ep 5 | Releasing Trapped Emotions: A Journey to Emotional Freedom
What if the emotions you carry aren’t just yours?
What if ancestral trauma, past experiences, and subconscious beliefs are shaping your reality today?
In this deeply insightful episode, Claire O’Brien (Honest and Goodness Nutrition) sits down with Michelle A. Hardwick, a practitioner specialising in emotional release, trauma healing, and energy work. Michelle shares her personal transformation - from the high-stress world of hospitality to becoming a healer - and how her journey led her to powerful techniques like Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), hypnosis, and past life regression.
This episode is an essential listen for anyone seeking emotional healing, personal growth, and a deeper connection to themselves.
Together, we explore:
How trapped emotions shape our present experiences
Why familiar patterns & relationships often mirror past wounds
The power of EFT for releasing emotional & physical stress
How ancestral trauma is passed down through generations
Shame, self-judgment & breaking free from toxic cycles
The role of nature, meditation & self-care in restoring balance
Finding your tribe & why community is essential for healing
