Aliveness Intimacy Purpose

In this new episode, I’m joined by Elian Haan — a corporate leadership coach, fitness expert, author, and speaker — for a profound conversation about the body’s role in healing. We explore how trauma, unprocessed emotions, and outdated beliefs aren’t just mental stories — they’re imprinted into the body and nervous system. And unless we address them there, we keep living from the same survival patterns… Reacting the same way. Attracting the same circumstances. Repeating the same dynamics in our lives and relationships — over and over again. We talk about why mindset work alone can’t create lasting change. Why your nervous system holds the key to true transformation. And how a somatic-based approach to healing brings you back to wholeness, presence, and deep aliveness. Elian also shares her powerful method of releasing shame and guilt. Elian Haan empowers executives, entrepreneurs, and leaders who feel stuck to become truly unstoppable. As a Trauma-Informed Executive & Transformation Coach, Corporate Wellness Strategist, Elian brings a holistic, mind-body approach to personal success and professional growth. A bestselling author, TV show host, and inspiring speaker, she blends deep expertise in wellness, leadership, and trauma-informed care to support individuals and organisations in achieving breakthrough results.  You can find here: https://www.elianhaan.net [https://www.elianhaan.net/]

In this episode, we sit down with Troy, a relationship and life coach, to explore the depths of human connection, intimacy, and the essential journey of self-awareness.  Together, we uncover the hidden barriers that keep us from experiencing deep, authentic intimacy and the profound fulfilment that a relationship can bring. We explore the different levels of intimacy and why self-discovery, self-awareness, sensitivity, and embodiment are the keys to meaningful connection.  Troy shares powerful insights into one of the biggest fears men face — the fear of meeting and feeling their emotions — and how avoiding this vulnerability is the greatest obstacle to deep intimacy. This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever felt disconnected or struggled to open your heart fully. Tune in to discover how embracing your emotions can unlock a richer, more intimate life experience. To connect with Troy DaRonco: https://www.troydaronco.com/ https://groupsformen.com/

Leadership is evolving. It’s no longer about power, control, or having all the answers. True leadership lives in presence—in the ability to hold space when things get messy, to stay open in the face of conflict, and to invite something deeper to emerge. It’s the art of feeling the room, sensing what’s needed beyond strategy or words, and guiding energy with clarity and care. It’s seeing the highest in others—and calling it forward. In this episode, I’m joined by Sumaya for a rich, heartfelt conversation on Embodied Leadership—and why nervous system resilience, somatic awareness, and being anchored in the body are the foundation of trustable, powerful leadership.

The shadow work is one of the most profound journeys we can take—a journey into the parts of ourselves we’ve hidden, suppressed, or denied. These shadow aspects don’t disappear. Instead, they shape our behaviors, fuel unconscious desires, and influence our relationships in ways we may not even realize.   Until we fully meet and integrate our shadows, they continue to run our lives from the depths of our unconscious. But here’s the truth: what we reject holds immense power. And when we bring these hidden parts into the light, they can transform into our greatest gifts.   This episode will guide you through: * What shadow parts are and how they form * How unintegrated shadows show up in our lives * The power of shadow work and its benefits * Practical ways to integrate shadows and reclaim your wholeness   When we do this work, we liberate our aliveness, deepen our intimacy, and step into our fullest, most authentic expression.   Are you ready to meet your shadow and reclaim your power?

All emotions are created equal. Emotions are energies of different frequencies that hold a message for you. If you allow emotions to rise and move through the body, they get metabolized and alchemized.   The issue begins when we resist, suppress, or avoid emotions.   Emotions you don’t process somatically will stay bound in the body controlling your life, choices, decisions, and what you attract.   Emotions you shut down will keep piling up and turn into depression, burnout, and chronic fatigue.   Sometimes we spend years in therapy trying to understand our patterns of behavior. But what we need is to process underlying emotions that keep our defensive patterns in place.   When we feel and express emotions fully, lots of life-force energy gets liberated.  We feel lighter, more alive, vibrant, and free.   What we will cover in this episode: * Emotions as your GPS * Discernment between emotions as a response to the present-time situation vs. unresolved emotions from the past * Important elements for the emotional alchemy process * How to work with emotions in a relationship container
