041: When Your Life Story Changes Overnight | Kimberly Warner
When a life story shifts overnight, it can unravel everything we thought we knew, including our identity, family, and even our sense of stability. In this conversation, we explore how Kimberly Warner navigates that kind of upheaval and what it reveals about healing, truth, and living fully.We follow Kimberly’s journey from a childhood shaped by hidden anxiety and perfectionism to a series of life-altering discoveries in adulthood. A DNA test reveals that the father who raised her was not her biological parent, which leads to an honest discussion about how these revelations intersect with Kimberly’s chronic illness.This leads to a conversation on the cost of constantly trying to “fix” ourselves and the freedom that comes with letting go. What emerges is a moving exploration of identity, surrender, and the idea that healing doesn’t mean becoming whole. Rather, it means learning to live meaningfully within the unknown. Listen in to learn how brokenness can open the door to connection, purpose, and unexpected peace.In this episode, you will hear:The impact of Mal de Débarquement SyndromeChildhood anxiety perfectionism and the drive to fix what feels brokenGrief, loss, and the long-term effects of unresolved traumaRedefining healing as coexistence with pain rather than curing itCreative expression, storytelling, and writing as a path to meaningResources from this EpisodeWebsites: www.unfixedmedia.com, www.kimberlywarnerauthor.comSubstack: https://unfixed.substack.com/ or @unfixedIG: @unfixed_media, @kimberly__warnerLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/Order “Unfixed: A Memoir of Family, Mystery, and the Currents That Carry You Home”: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DYNTFRND?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_H1EMYPMC301BSEF7PHYN&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_H1EMYPMC301BSEF7PHYN&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cp_ud_dp_H1EMYPMC301BSEF7PHYN&bestFormat=truewww.fearunzipped.com Follow and Review:We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.

040: Signs, Inner Guidance & Belonging with Karen Brailsford
What if the universe is constantly speaking to you through signs, synchronicities, and quiet moments of inner knowing?In this thoughful conversation, author of the award-winning book Sacred Landscapes of the Soul, Karen Brailsford shares how a lifetime of listening to subtle guidance has shaped her path.Growing up in the South Bronx while attending an elite Manhattan private school, Karen learned early how to move between very different worlds while staying deeply connected to spirit. Her journey eventually led her to Los Angeles, where she built a successful journalism career writing for publications such as Newsweek, People, and Elle. Yet it was a series of synchronicities and unexpected moments that ultimately guided her to the Agape International Spiritual Center, where she now serves as a licensed spiritual practitioner.Throughout this conversation, Karen shares how everyday signs, songs that appear at the perfect moment, meaningful numbers, chance encounters, and even something as simple as a misplaced object showing up right when it is needed can become reminders that we are never navigating life alone.Together, we explore how to trust inner guidance, move beyond the need for external approval, and respond to life’s challenges with compassion and gentleness toward ourselves.This episode is a beautiful reminder that the universe may be speaking to us far more often than we realize and that the deep sense of belonging we seek may already be within us.In this episode you will hear:Early experiences with inner guidance and feeling supported by spiritHow synchronicities and everyday signs confirm universal supportShifting from seeking external approval to living in soul alignmentResponding to triggers and challenges with love and gentleness toward ourselvesUnderstanding the inner landscapes that shape our emotional livesSimple ways to trust intuition and stay open to guidanceResources from this EpisodeConnect with Karen at karenbrailsford.comwww.fearunzipped.com Instagram: @iamkarenbrailsford“Sacred Landscapes of the Soul: Aligning with the Divine Wherever You Are” Amazon Link: https://www.amazon.com/Sacred-Landscapes-Soul-Aligning-Wherever/dp/1948018845/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2DWW2JMN43FDD&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.0fPK1EqHzEzqW751YfLL_eXOhfgg6ownzwSQr9zUFflXHbJMldNWuuGE4E_qIINuDvBH4AXwJIPdA8Uh1FJhbwFeWm3H9KrDSUc8HijlkHE.bCQr0uzeyOiBVp_3kSqVIfz7SDoSO4WwMiOadQ5AFS0&dib_tag=se&keywords=sacred+landscapes+of+the+soul&qid=1772119278&sprefix=sacred+landsc%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-1 Follow and Review:We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.

039: Medical Intuitive Patrice Krysztofiak on Body Signals
APR 8, 2026
039: Medical Intuitive Patrice Krysztofiak on Body Signals
On the very first day of 2026, I received an unexpected message from someone I had never met.His name is Patrice Krysztofiak, a French-born medical intuitive, and that message turned into one of the most unusual and personal conversations I’ve had on this podcast. Since that moment, I’ve experienced some profound shifts in my own life, and so have several of my friends.Patrice is thoughtful, funny, and completely authentic. In this conversation, we explore what it means to listen to the body, trust intuition, and understand that sometimes healing begins simply by slowing down and paying attention.Patrice’s journey to this work was anything but conventional. Originally a computer developer and digital marketer in France, his life changed dramatically after a period of intense stress, depression, and personal crisis. Meditation led to a powerful, energetic experience that opened the door to intuitive perceptions he had never experienced before.During our conversation, Patrice explains how he began sensing disruptions in the body’s energetic flow and how those signals may reflect emotional trauma, environmental factors, or unresolved experiences. Rather than describing himself as a traditional healer, Patrice sees his role as helping people uncover what may be quietly holding them back so the body can begin to rebalance naturally.Throughout the episode, we explore the deeper relationship between intuition, emotional well-being, and physical health. Patrice emphasizes that the body often knows how to heal itself when we create space for stillness and awareness.By slowing down, speaking to the body, and paying attention to subtle signals, we may discover that many of the answers we seek have been within us all along.And as Patrice likes to remind people… remember to smile.In this episode, you will hear:The idea that the body stores unresolved emotional experiences and communicates through physical symptomsHow intuitive sessions work and sensing disruptions in energy flow within the bodyThe connection between intuition, resonance, and trusting the signals our bodies send usStories of energetic releases and unexpected shifts during intuitive sessionsSimple ways to begin listening to the body and support self-healingThe growing role of heart-centered awareness and intuition in personal transformationResources from this Episodehttps://www.patricekrysztofiak.comwww.fearunzipped.com Follow and Review:We’d love for you to follow us if you haven’t yet.
