In this powerful episode, Dr Anthea sits down with shadow work coach and trauma specialist Peter Isaia to explore the deep emotional roots behind the symptoms we often try to fix on the surface — from burnout and autoimmune issues to people-pleasing and self-doubt.

If you’ve ever found yourself thinking “I’ve tried everything and nothing’s working,” this conversation offers a radical reframe. Together, they unpack why healing isn’t about being “better” — it’s about being honest with the parts of yourself you’ve been hiding.

You’ll learn:

• Why unresolved emotional pain can show up as physical symptoms
• How shame, fear, and identity wounds get stored in the body
• What “shadow work” really is — and how it can liberate stuck energy
• Why self-healing starts with permission, not perfection

This episode is honest, confronting, and wildly freeing — and it might be the missing piece in your healing journey.
