on control, loss, and learning to let things be: birthday reflections

Yesterday I turned 42.

I love birthdays. Not the celebrating necessarily - that's complicated. But the threshold of it. The closing out of one year and stepping into a new one. A personal new year that isn't tied to a collective restart.

41 was an incredibly difficult year for me. It didn't let up. One thing after another, after another, for the entire year.

And somewhere in the midst of it all, I learned something about non-attachment. About letting go. About allowing things to move through me instead of gripping so tightly to outcomes I can't control.

This is my birthday reflection - on a hard year, on what I'm learning about control and loss, and on stepping through the threshold into 42.

This is also the final episode of 2025. I'm taking the next few weeks off to be with my family. I'll see you in 2026.

i f*ing hate the wind: on control, chaos, and learning to let go

I've been thinking about wind. About chaos. About what happens when you spend your whole life trying to control everything.

There's a wind card in the Mystical Shaman Oracle deck, and every time I pull it, I think the same thing: I f*ing hate the wind. It represents chaos to me. The uncontrollable.

And I realized something this week. I've been using over-preparation as armor. My way of trying to control everything so I never have to feel that out-of-control wind-in-my-face sensation.

I grip. I plan. I anticipate every variable.

But what that's actually done is keep me from trusting myself.

2024 was the year I resisted the crumbling. 2025 has been about learning to surrender.

I'm standing at a threshold right now - between who I was and who I'm becoming. And I'm beginning to see the wind as an invitation to acknowledge how little I actually control. How much magic becomes available when I stop gripping so tightly and just trust myself to handle what comes.

when grief becomes an awakening: tracy laskos on coming home to yourself

What happens when life doesn't follow the script you were handed? When loss cracks you open and forces you to ask: who am I without all these roles, all these expectations, all these stories I've been told about who I'm supposed to be?

In this episode, I sit down with Tracy Laskos, author, conscious leadership advisor, and founder of Wings of Truth, to talk about the seasons of unraveling we all go through, and what it means to come home to yourself when everything else falls away.

Tracy shares her journey through profound loss, including losing her mom while she was a new mother herself. She talks about how grief became an awakening rather than something to overcome, and how that loss pulled back the veil and opened her to a deeper spiritual path.

We dive into shadow work and what it really means to integrate rather than eliminate parts of ourselves. Tracy offers this beautiful reframe: the darkness is required for the light to be seen. We also explore leadership through vulnerability, the metamorphosis process, and what it means to witness transformation—both in ourselves and in the people we love.

This conversation is honest, grounded, and deeply moving. If you're in a season of unraveling, if you've ever felt like life was asking you to let go of who you thought you were so you could become who you actually are, this episode is for you.

Tracy recently published her first book, The Spark Within: An Authentic Journey Home, which weaves her personal story with journal prompts and reflection points to support your own healing journey.

gratitude beyond the obvious: a thanksgiving meditation (a best of w2w replay)

This week I'm sharing a replay of last year's gratitude meditation as I recover from a cold that's taken my voice (you'll hear my raspy attempt at an intro before we dive into the meditation).

This meditation is my thank you to you - for being here, for doing this work, for continuing to tune in and walk this journey with me.

May this Thanksgiving give you a moment of rest, peace, and the opportunity to take stock of all that you're grateful for as we enter the holiday season.

Happy Thanksgiving. Sending you all my love, courage, strength, and joy.

Sat Nam.

wounds to wisdom
when small things feel like catastrophes

Ever notice how something small can suddenly feel like the end of the world? And then you either go into full control mode trying to manage every detail, or you completely give your power away hoping someone else will fix it?

In this episode, I break down three interconnected shadow archetypes that show up especially strong during stressful times (hello, holiday season): the catastrophizer, the micromanager, and the damsel.

The catastrophizer is at the root - it's the part of us that blows things out of proportion, that pulls from our teenage energy of being overly dramatic and out of control of our emotions. From there, we typically split into one of two responses: we either become the micromanager who tries to control everyone and everything to feel safe, or we become the damsel who steps out of our power and looks to someone else to save us.

I share how these shadows show up in my own life - with my kids, my partner, everyday situations that suddenly feel massive - and walk you through the RISE Method for working with them: Recognize the pattern, Inquire with compassion, Shift the relationship, and Embody the transformation.

In this episode:

  • How the catastrophizer pulls us into teenage drama energy
  • Why micromanaging actually pushes people away instead of keeping us safe
  • What it means to "play damsel" and dim your power for others
  • Why starting small (like with folding towels) is key to breaking these patterns
  • How these three shadows are actually trying to protect you

Key insight: Control is an illusion. When you're micromanaging others or giving your power away, you're operating from the belief that you're not safe unless something outside you changes. The real work is coming back into your body and responding from your actual power, not your panic.

from gold stars to soul work: creating spaces that honor your true self with lynne niehaus

What happens when you spend years chasing gold stars and external validation, only to realize you've lost yourself completely in the process? In this deeply honest conversation, intuitive color and interior design specialist Lynne Niehaus shares her journey from molecular biologist to soul-aligned space creator - and how dismantling her "perfect life" became her greatest breakthrough.

Lynne Niehaus is an artist and medium with a degree in Molecular Biology who now guides clients through the energetic properties of color, organization, and layout to transform the way they feel and function in their homes. Her design firm, Lynne Niehaus Interiors, blends science, design aesthetics, and ancient traditions with a touch of spirituality to help clients thrive in their home landscapes.

In this conversation, Lynne opens up about recognizing the emotional abuse she'd normalized, the moment her coworkers' shock became a mirror she couldn't ignore, and the courage it took to leave for the sake of her daughters. We explore how her background in molecular biology informs her design work, why she sees color as both mathematics and medicine, and what it means to create spaces that reflect your soul rather than impress others.

This conversation goes beautifully woo - from Mayan galactic timekeeping to painting a child's soul after a dream visit - while staying grounded in practical wisdom about pattern recognition, shadow work, and the healing power of sitting with the mess before rushing to clean it up.

In this episode:

  • How chasing gold stars keeps us trapped in patterns that don't serve us
  • Recognizing emotional abuse when you're so deep inside it
  • The connection between our external spaces and internal landscapes
  • Why color affects us on a cellular level
  • What it means to create from authenticity instead of aesthetics
  • How to work with shadow patterns in our physical environments
  • The importance of sitting with the mess before finding the beauty

when democracy triggers your shadows: collective healing in crisis

In this raw and unfiltered episode, I'm doing something different. I'm sharing my real-time processing of the November 4, 2025 election results - not as political commentary, but as an example of shadow work in action during collective crisis.

This episode explores what happens when we get triggered by current events, how we "other" people whose beliefs threaten us, and why the only path forward requires us to turn inward and examine our own fears, resistance, and patterns.

You'll hear me grapple with:

  • The challenge of seeing humanity in those who celebrate harm to marginalized communities
  • How fear-based beliefs drive division and hoarding of power
  • Why our tendency to "other" people is a shadow pattern that perpetuates the very systems we're trying to change
  • The invitation to get curious about our triggers instead of being controlled by them
  • How individual inner work is the foundation for collective transformation


This isn't easy listening. It's uncomfortable. It's political. And it's exactly the kind of shadow work our world needs right now.

If you're ready to examine your own reactions to the chaos around us, this episode is your invitation to turn inward and begin the work of transforming yourself - which is the only way we transform the collective.

samhain: what's dying + what's wanting to be birthed?

This weekend marks Samhain—also known as Halloween or Día de los Muertos—the sacred threshold between the light and dark halves of the year, when the veil between worlds is thinnest.

This isn't just about costumes and candy. This is the moment when we honor our ancestors, acknowledge what's ready to die within us, and make space for what wants to be born.

In this episode, I share what Samhain actually is, why you might be feeling more emotional or having old patterns surface intensely right now (it's by design), and how to work with this threshold energy rather than resist it.

You'll discover:

  • What Samhain asks of us: the death question and the birth question
  • Why old patterns are bubbling up right now—and what they're showing you
  • A simple ritual practice for releasing what's ready to die and making space for what wants to emerge
  • Why winter is for gestation, not forcing growth (and why capitalism wants you to forget this)
  • How to trust the darkness instead of fearing it


If you've been feeling patterns resurface that you thought you'd healed, if you're exhausted trying to force growth when you need rest, or if you're ready to work WITH the season instead of against it—this episode is for you.

standing at the threshold: what it feels like to stop hiding

Three moments in 24 hours. Each one pointing to the same truth. Each one asking: when are you going to stop pretending you're not this?

In this vulnerable episode, I share what it actually feels like to stand at an identity threshold—not the comfortable kind where you know what's on the other side, but the kind where stepping through means you can't go back.

I walk you through three pivotal moments that happened within two days: a mentor's response that I'd written down before she even said it to me, an assignment that made my body tense with recognition, and a therapy session where a full-body realization hit about my relationship with darkness and crisis.

This isn't about making sweeping proclamations or becoming someone new. It's about recognizing when your body is telling you the truth, understanding what threshold work actually feels like, and learning to distinguish between "are you ready?" and "are you willing?"

You'll discover:

✨ The physical sensations that signal you're standing at a threshold

✨ Why hiding your gifts creates the very self-doubt you're trying to avoid

✨ What it means to be a threshold walker (and that final threshold I've held space for)

✨ How to recognize when you're at your own identity threshold

✨ Why thresholds don't wait for you to be ready—they just keep appearing until you walk through


If you've been softening your truth, hiding your gifts, or waiting to be ready before claiming who you actually are, this episode will help you recognize the threshold you're standing at.

the fixer and the caregiver: when helping becomes hiding

In this very personal episode, I share my intimate experience with two shadow archetypes that shaped my life from age six: the Fixer and the Caregiver.

I explore how these protective patterns develop in childhood—often through being thrust into adult roles too early—and why they persist into adulthood even when they no longer serve us. You'll discover the subtle but crucial differences between these two archetypes, how to recognize when you're operating from shadow versus integrated expression, and why awareness alone isn't enough to break these deeply ingrained cycles.

I also share practical guidance on building the muscle of conscious choice: from noticing patterns after the fact, to catching yourself mid-moment, to eventually choosing different responses before the pattern fully activates.

This episode is essential listening if you've ever wondered why you struggle to let others experience natural consequences, why you scan every room for threats to harmony, or why you can't seem to stop putting everyone else's needs before your own.

Join me for the next Illuminate Your Shadows meditation circle on Friday, October 24th at 7pm (in-person in Annapolis or virtual). We'll go deeper into transforming these specific archetypes. Space is limited! Reserve your mat here.

reclaiming you: when your inner child demands to be seen

In this raw and vulnerable episode, I share the midnight note that changed everything – a truth I'd been carrying but didn't realize I needed to address. A month and a half ago, I woke up having written something that made me deeply uncomfortable: "I want to be Tina Melendez."

I dive into why reclaiming my birth name isn't about my marriage or legal documents – it's about honoring the little girl inside me who had big dreams but was told they were selfish and egotistical. The younger Tina who wanted to see her name in lights, who dreamed of having a platform, who believed she had something important to share with the world.

This episode marks the beginning of a new chapter as I officially step into my work as Tina Melendez – not rejecting who I've become as Tina Hamilton, but reclaiming the part of myself that got left behind when I learned to blend into the background instead of shining.

If you've ever put down a dream because it seemed foolish or unrealistic, if you've dimmed your light to make others comfortable, or if there's something you've been wanting to reclaim but haven't found the courage yet – this episode is for you.

one year of wounds to wisdom: finding my voice through 40 episodes

In this special anniversary episode, I'm celebrating one full year and 40 episodes of Wounds to Wisdom! When I started this podcast, I committed to just 20 episodes—believing that if I could make it past that milestone (where most podcasters quit), I'd know this was meant to continue.

Today, I'm sharing the profound personal growth that's happened through showing up week after week, including:

🌿 How I transformed from overthinking and scripting everything to allowing spirit to flow through me

🌿 The shadow patterns I've had to dance with: perfectionism, self-doubt, and the wound of "children should be seen and not heard"

🌿 What I learned about my podcast voice vs. my authentic voice vs. my meditation voice—and how they've all merged

🌿 The real logistics of podcasting (spoiler: you don't need fancy equipment or perfect editing)

🌿 How 1,100+ downloads exceeded my wildest dreams when I expected maybe 50-60 all year

Whether you're curious about starting your own podcast or you're on your own journey of allowing yourself to be seen and heard, this episode offers honest reflections on what it takes to show up consistently while working through your own shadows.

Healing in the Middle of Life: When you can't just Disappear

In this deeply vulnerable episode, I share from the depths of one of my darkest seasons - the overwhelming grief, the physical recovery challenges, and the realization that I've been living in protective patterns that no longer serve me.

I explore the reality that most of us can't just step away from our responsibilities to heal in isolation, despite what we see modeled in spiritual communities. Instead, we have to figure out how to transform while still showing up for our children, our partners, our work, and our lives.

This episode is about the messy middle of transformation - that terrifying blank canvas that emerges when we start dropping the conditioning and protective mechanisms that once kept us safe. It's about finding community with others who are navigating this same journey of becoming while still living in the life the old versions of ourselves built.

I also share details about a new 30-day healing container I'm opening on October 1st - a space for daily 5-minute practices that honor the reality that healing happens right here in the middle of our beautiful, chaotic lives.

If you're feeling lost, unmoored, or like you're living a life that doesn't fit who you're becoming, this episode is for you. You're not alone, and transformation doesn't require you to abandon your life - it requires you to show up differently within it.

From Overwhelm to Empowerment: How Asking for Help Became a Superpower with Andrea Louth

In this deeply moving episode, Andrea Louth shares the transformational journey that took her from complete overwhelm to empowered living, while juggling a full-time career, two children, and serving as primary caregiver for her terminally ill mother.

Andrea reveals the pivotal moment when she realized that trying to do everything alone wasn't strength; it was a path to destruction. Her story of learning to ask for specific help, build community support, and trust others to show up will resonate with anyone who has ever felt like they're drowning in responsibilities.

We explore practical strategies for identifying priorities, the art of delegation without micromanaging, and how relinquishing control can actually expand your capacity in both personal and professional life. Andrea's "million dollar question" for staying focused and her approach to time blocking will give you concrete tools for designing a life you actually want to live.

Whether you're caring for aging parents, managing a demanding career, or simply feeling stretched too thin, this conversation offers both inspiration and actionable wisdom for moving from survival mode to thriving.

Key Topics:

  • Learning to ask for specific help instead of suffering in silence
  • Building trust with others and yourself during overwhelming seasons
  • Practical systems for prioritizing what truly matters
  • The freedom that comes from letting go of perfectionist control
  • Integrating self-care into an already packed schedule

    Writing Through the Shadows: How Creative Blocks Mirror Life Patterns with Dani Fankhauser

    In this powerful conversation with intuitive writing coach Dani Fankhauser, we explore the deep connections between our creative blocks and life patterns. Dani shares her journey from journalism to mystical writing practices, revealing how the struggles we face in our writing often mirror exactly what's happening in our relationships, business, and personal growth.

    We dive into the pain of rejection - whether it's from literary agents or life itself - and how memoir writers face unique challenges when sharing deeply personal stories. Dani explains her philosophy that "anything happening in our book is also happening in our life" and how this awareness creates profound breakthroughs for her clients.

    You'll discover why reading your work aloud can heal throat chakra blocks, how to energetically protect your creative process, and why the publishing industry's current challenges might actually be opening doors for authentic voices who see the world differently.

    Whether you're a writer struggling with creative blocks or someone working through patterns of self-doubt and fear of being seen, this episode offers practical wisdom for transforming your shadows into medicine.

    When your soul demands a complete life audit: navigating the shedding phase

    In this raw and vulnerable episode, I share from the depths of my own shedding phase—that sacred space where your soul demands you examine every structure in your life and ask: "Is this truly mine, or was it built from wounds and conditioning?"

    Fresh from taking an unintentional break from all business activities, I explore what it means to let your soul lead the way, even when it feels completely out of control. I talk about the profound process of questioning everything you've built—your goals, beliefs, patterns, and structures—to discern what's authentic versus what was created from conditioning.

    This isn't a typical "how-to" episode with clear answers. Instead, it's an invitation into the messy, uncomfortable, and ultimately transformative space of deep self-inquiry. I share how I'm navigating this phase through ceremony, introspection, and radical honesty with myself about what truly belongs in my life moving forward.

    If you've ever found yourself questioning whether the life you've built actually reflects who you are becoming, this episode offers companionship for that profound journey of reconstruction.

    From Near-Death to Sacred Space: How Forced Stillness Awakened My Healing Gifts

    In this deeply moving episode, I sit down with Master Healer Cheryl Pace, founder of Be the Change – The Healing Collective, to explore her profound transformation from burnout to awakened healer through a near-death experience and subsequent paralysis.

    Cheryl shares her powerful journey of ignoring the universe's gentle nudges until life literally stopped her in her tracks – first through a near-death experience in 2019, and then through COVID-induced paralysis that forced her into four months of complete stillness. It was in that sacred pause that she finally connected to her gifts and learned what it truly means to "share the light."

    We dive deep into:

    ✨ Why forced stillness often becomes our greatest teacher

    ✨ The soul-to-soul method and working in the Akashic records

    ✨ How to recognize your body's "yes" vs "no" signals

    ✨ The shamanic healing wheel and the journey from shedding to sovereignty

    ✨ Why it's not our job to "fix" people but to hold sacred space

    ✨ Moving from competition to collaboration in the healing space

    Cheryl's story is a beautiful reminder that sometimes we have to completely surrender to remember who we truly are, and that our deepest wounds often become our most potent medicine.

    Whether you're feeling called to explore your own healing gifts or you're in your own season of forced stillness, this conversation offers profound insights about trusting the journey and stepping into your authentic power.

    As Deep as the Darkness: How Shadow Work Expands Our Capacity for Beauty

    In this deeply personal episode, I share what five weeks of post-surgery recovery revealed about the profound relationship between shadow and light.

    While healing, I discovered something unexpected: the more I've learned to sit with collective pain and personal darkness, the more beauty I'm able to see and receive. This led me to wonder—is our capacity to experience beauty only as deep as our ability to feel darkness?

    Just as we can only love others to the extent we love ourselves, I explore whether we can only experience wonder to the degree we can hold pain. You'll hear about the moments that caught my heart during recovery, how forced stillness taught me to notice butterflies and ant colonies while holding space for global suffering, and why some of us are meant to transmute collective darkness into something beautiful.

    This isn't about choosing light over shadow—it's about discovering how they dance together to create a more integrated, alive way of being in the world.

    From Devastating Loss to Intuitive Healing: How One Therapist Revolutionized Mental Health Treatment

    In this powerful episode, I sit down with licensed therapist and professional intuitive Annamarie Green to explore her profound journey from devastating loss to creating revolutionary healing methods that bridge clinical psychology with energy work.

    Annamarie shares her raw and honest story of losing her partner to suicide while raising a toddler as a young mother, and how traditional therapy wasn't enough to heal the deep trauma she experienced. This led her to discover the transformative power of energy work, which became the foundation for her Intuitive Therapy Method™.

    We dive deep into how anxiety and depression function as survival strategies, why traditional talk therapy often falls short, and how addressing trauma at the energetic and nervous system level creates lasting change. Annamarie explains how ancestral patterns get passed down through generations and offers practical insights for parents on creating emotionally honest relationships with their children.

    You'll also learn about her upcoming Soul Surgeon program, a 6-month intensive that teaches therapists, coaches, healers, and curious souls how to read, clear, and heal energy to become the intuitive architects of their own lives.

    This conversation is a masterclass in understanding how our deepest wounds can become our greatest medicine when we're willing to do the deep work of integration and transformation.

    Why Aren't You Writing? A Birthday Tribute to My Guiding Star

    In this deeply personal episode, I share the story of my cousin Danielle, who would have been 42 today. Seven years after losing her to addiction, I'm finally ready to own the truth she saw in me before I could see it myself - that I'm a writer.

    Danielle's last question to me was simple but life-changing: "Why aren't you writing?" Three weeks later, she was gone. But her influence on my life has only grown stronger. Today I share how her death cracked me open, how I feel her guidance in the shadow work I now facilitate, and how the very work that flows through me might have saved her life.

    I also share one of her poems from just weeks before she passed - a raw, powerful piece about her own shadow work and awakening to her purpose as a poet. This episode is my annual tribute to the woman who taught me that our wounds can become our wisdom, and our pain can become our purpose.

    Listen as I explore how grief can activate our gifts, how the dead continue to guide us, and why sometimes we need to lose everything to find who we're meant to be.
