    If you LOVE Embody Your Empress, show us support – click here 💗 https://buymeacoffee.com/EmbodyYourEmpress Hello hello hello my beautiful Empresses… Welcome back to Embody Your Empress. My name is Sarah King… I'm the host of this podcast and the founder of Empress Nation. This is the space where we slow down… soften… and have real conversations that nourish the soul, expand perspective, and bring us back home to ourselves. Today's episode is one of those conversations that stays with you. I'm joined by two powerful women… Stephanie and J'Nai… the founders of Meraki Sacred Healing Co. These women are devoted to helping others reclaim their health, energy, clarity, and joy… especially those who feel stuck, dismissed, or unheard within the traditional healthcare system. Stephanie and J'Nai are registered nurses with over 35 years of combined experience across critical care, emergency medicine, mental health, hospice, and holistic wellness. But their work today was born from lived experience, not just clinical training. Both women share their deeply personal journeys through chronic illness, autoimmune disease, Long COVID, burnout, and the moment they realised that traditional medicine was treating symptoms… not root cause. From that awakening, The Meraki Way was created… an integrative healing approach that bridges science and spirit to restore balance in the body, mind, and soul. In this episode, we explore what true healing actually looks like when the body is seen as a whole system… not fragmented into parts. We talk about inflammation beyond the physical… stress beyond the mental… and how unresolved emotion, trauma, and survival mode live in the body. You'll hear us speak into… Hydration, sunlight, movement, and nature as foundations of health The heart and brain connection and why it matters Functional testing and treating the body as an interconnected system Food sensitivities and ancestral nutrition Nervous system regulation and emotional honesty Holographic memory resolution and stored pain Human Design as a tool for alignment and purpose Community, support, and being held through change This conversation is warm… honest… expansive… and deeply human. If you've ever felt like your body is carrying too much… If you've been pushing through exhaustion… If your intuition has been whispering that there must be another way… This episode is for you. Because when science meets spirit… and the heart leads the way… Healing within truly allows us to shine throughout. About our guests… Stephanie and J'Nai Stephanie and J'Nai are the founders of Meraki Sacred Healing Co. and the creators of The Meraki Way… an integrative healing method designed to restore balance across the body, mind, and soul. Their work blends holistic nursing, functional medicine, neuroscience, somatic healing, intuitive guidance, and lifestyle transformation to help women and men reclaim energy, regulate the nervous system, release emotional blocks, and reconnect with purpose.

  • #74 Compassionate Healing, Somatic Wisdom & Coming Home to the Body with Victoria Duarte

    #74 Compassionate Healing, Somatic Wisdom & Coming Home to the Body with Victoria Duarte
    Mar 17 2026
    Compassionate Healing, Somatic Wisdom & Coming Home to the Body with Victoria Duarte If you LOVE Embody Your Empress, show us support – click here 💗 https://buymeacoffee.com/EmbodyYourEmpress In this deeply nourishing episode of Embody Your Empress, Sarah King is joined by Victoria Duarte, a somatic and mindfulness coach and co-founder of the Healing Arts Center. This conversation is a powerful reminder that healing does not need to be forceful, rushed, or formulaic. Together, Sarah and Victoria explore what it truly means to create safety within the body, honour vulnerability, and approach healing with compassion, discernment, and integrity. Victoria shares the story behind the Healing Arts Center, a community-based sanctuary founded alongside her business partner Mark, a retired Navy SEAL. Inspired by the modalities that supported his transition out of military service, the centre was created to offer ethical, human-centred care that recognises healing is never one-size-fits-all. Throughout the episode, we explore the emotional courage it takes to ask for help, the importance of being met by practitioners who genuinely care, and why sometimes the most compassionate act is acknowledging when a modality or practitioner is not the right fit. This conversation gently unpacks vulnerability, grief, emotional release, and the way trauma often lives in the body rather than in words. Victoria explains how somatic work, mindfulness, creative expression, and nervous system awareness can support people who feel disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure of how they feel at all. In this episode, we explore… • Why healing should never make you feel broken or like you've failed • The vulnerability required to ask for help and how safety changes everything • Compassionate referral and ethical care in the wellness space • Reframing crying as regulation and emotional release, not weakness • Grief and why there is no correct way to process loss • Somatic healing beyond talk therapy • Reconnecting with a disconnected body • Nervous system safety, self-trust, and embodied discernment • How compassion becomes a daily practice, not just a concept This episode is for anyone who feels emotionally tired, disconnected from their body, or quietly carrying more than they realise. It is a reminder that healing can be gentle, relational, and deeply human. About the Guest | Victoria Duarte Victoria Duarte is a somatic and mindfulness coach with more than a decade of experience supporting clients through stress, life transitions, and the quiet emotional weight that builds over time. Her approach is grounded, relational, and compassionate, supporting clients to listen to their body's signals, notice patterns with curiosity, and reconnect with their own inner discernment. The Healing Arts Center in Virginia Beach is a thoughtfully curated space for integrative support that honours both courage and compassion. The centre brings together experienced practitioners offering mindfulness, somatic coaching, creative expression, Yoga Nidra, Reiki, and other complementary modalities. Their work is rooted in ethical care, emotional safety, and respect for the individual journey.

Every contribution helps me continue creating powerful episodes for women who are here to rise, heal, and rule their nation with calm, clarity, and confidence. Buy Me a Coffee: https://buymeacoffee.com/EmbodyYourEmpress There is something happening in the world right now. Women are done shrinking… softening… explaining themselves just to fit into spaces they didn't create. In this powerful and refreshingly honest conversation, Sarah King sits down with Brisbane based women's empowerment photographer Rachael Lord-Gavin to explore what it really means to be seen… not just in images, but in identity. Rachael works with spiritual business owners and mothers who are done fragmenting themselves into roles to be taken seriously. With over 14 years behind the camera, her work goes far beyond photos. Her sessions are designed to reconnect women with trust in their bodies, their sensuality, and their presence. Because the CEO… the mother… and the woman are not competing identities. They are meant to exist together. Inside this episode we explore: • The moment women realise the woman in the photo is actually them • Why confidence is often still layered with performance • The real emotional shifts that happen during empowerment photography • How breathwork and grounding are now part of Rachael's process • Why visibility work is ripple effect work • The evidence building power of photos in your life story Rachael is known for her truth telling approach and her refusal to participate in surface level empowerment that fades once the shoot ends. This conversation is about identity… embodiment… and choosing to be seen without apology. About Rachael Rachael Lord-Gavin is a women's empowerment photographer based in Brisbane, Australia. She works with spiritual business owners and mothers who are done splitting themselves into roles to be taken seriously. With over 14 years of experience, Rachael helps women reconnect with trust in their bodies and their sensuality… not as something separate from success or leadership, but as something that strengthens it. Her work creates lasting shifts in how women see themselves and how they show up in business, online, and in life.
