In this powerful episode of The Awakening Potential Show, host Karen Rudolf sits down with Dr. Ramah Wagner — third-generation chiropractor, bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and unapologetic wounded healer.
At 13, Ramah received a clear “thought flash” that she would become a chiropractor and live in Florida. But life took a traumatic turn in college when she was raped — a trauma she buried for years until her body began screaming the truth through obesity, fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, irritable bowel, autoimmune thyroid issues, and deep depression.
Ramah shares how one moment on the couch after three days of not moving became her personal line in the sand. She chose healing at all costs, traveling the world, studying epigenetics, energy, and the greatest minds in health and transformation. Along the way, she discovered how trauma can flip genetic switches on… and how deep healing can help turn them down.
Together, Karen and Ramah explore:
The reality of trauma and the body’s “memory”
The difference between sharing our story for healing vs. attention
The raw truth behind the Badass Bitches movement and redefining the word “bitch”
The power and responsibility of feminine leadership
The pressure modern women carry — and how to create harmony between our inner masculine and feminine
Ramah’s “second career” vision and her call for women to become seekers in their own lives
It’s honest. It’s deep. It’s activating. And it’s a love letter to every woman who’s ever wondered if she can rise from what almost broke her.

What happens when fear tries to take over your life… and intuition steps in instead?
In this powerful and vulnerable episode, Adele Rose, Spiritual Psychic Reader and Certified Advanced Tarot Practitioner, shares her deeply personal transformation — one that begins at age 14 with sudden panic, agoraphobia, and a world that couldn’t explain what was happening to her.
Instead of collapsing into fear, Adele learned to surrender, listen, and respond to the quiet voice within. That single choice awakened her intuition, expanded her spiritual gifts, and set her on a lifelong path of supporting others through tarot, guidance, and intuitive healing.
Together, Adele and Karen explore:
✨ How fear shuts down the body… but intuition opens it
✨ Why stillness is the gateway to clarity
✨ The moment Adele realized “You can’t have faith and fear.”
✨ Tarot as a healing modality — not fortune-telling, but truth-telling
✨ How miracles, symbols, and synchronicities show up when you ask
✨ What it means to live guided — and how anyone can begin
✨ How animals, plants, nature, and energy speak to us
✨ Why spiritual awakening doesn’t require perfection — only presence
This is more than a conversation.
It’s an activation.
Whether you’re navigating fear, seeking clarity, or wanting to reconnect with your intuitive knowing, this episode offers gentle guidance, deep truth, and a renewed sense of inner strength.

Through courage, faith, and an unwavering belief in rising again, Tina transformed her pain into purpose, opening a successful childcare program and becoming a voice for women and children navigating culture-based limitations and trauma.
Today, she blends education, music, and heart-centered leadership to help young minds grow confidently — and to inspire women to rise, speak, and reclaim their light.
