Ep 78. How to Rebuild Your Life Without Becoming Someone New

Ep 78. How to Rebuild Your Life Without Becoming Someone New

In this personal episode of Her Journey Home, I reflect on the many versions of myself that shaped who I am today. As I continue traveling through California and exploring where to build my next chapter, I share lessons from childhood, entrepreneurship, self-discovery, and personal growth. I open up about toxic relationships, addiction, self-sabotage, and the difficult journey toward healing. From hitting rock bottom to choosing sobriety and rebuilding important relationships, I share how learning to stop abandoning myself changed everything. If you are navigating change, rebuilding your life, or questioning your next step, this episode is for you. It is a reminder that every season has a purpose, and every version of you has helped shape the person you are becoming. #herjourneyhome #SelfDiscoveryJourney #PersonalGrowth #HealingJourney #SelfGrowthPodcast Connect with Sophia Graniela * Sophia’s ⁠Instagram⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/sophiagraniela] https://www.instagram.com/sophiagraniela [https://www.instagram.com/sophiagraniela] * Sign for a 12 Week Private Podcast Mentorship Program : Unfiltered [https://sophiagraniela.myflodesk.com/unfiltered?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZnRzaAQwruZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAafP_DiQXyqfahISsT8vji27uLH3X4Xta9E46sXqyvf3UnLzeLvnPvSXz7oyLQ_aem_iCr4_mJjSgFHSzCc0YhwGw] https://sophiagraniela.myflodesk.com/unfiltered?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZnRzaAQwruZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAafP_DiQXyqfahISsT8vji27uLH3X4Xta9E46sXqyvf3UnLzeLvnPvSXz7oyLQ_aem_iCr4_mJjSgFHSzCc0YhwGw [https://sophiagraniela.myflodesk.com/unfiltered?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZnRzaAQwruZleHRuA2FlbQIxMQBzcnRjBmFwcF9pZA8xMjQwMjQ1NzQyODc0MTQAAafP_DiQXyqfahISsT8vji27uLH3X4Xta9E46sXqyvf3UnLzeLvnPvSXz7oyLQ_aem_iCr4_mJjSgFHSzCc0YhwGw]

Ep 77. Reclaiming Your Voice, Confidence & Self-Worth with Laurel

In this deeply honest episode of Her Journey Home, I sit down with integrative trauma therapist, wellness coach, and podcast host Laurel LeMohn for a powerful conversation about healing, worthiness, self-expression, and reclaiming your voice after years of silence. Together, we explore how trauma, shame, addiction, bullying, and emotional suppression can become catalysts for transformation and purpose. Laurel vulnerably shares her experiences with trauma, codependency, mental health struggles, and learning to stop making herself small, while I open up about my journey of sobriety, self-expression, and using podcasting as a tool to come home to myself. Laurel is the founder of Redwood Coast Psychotherapy and SoulBody Wellness, a wellness practice rooted in community, transformation, and growth. Her work focuses on trauma healing, nervous system regulation, embodiment, spirituality, and authentic storytelling, creating spaces where people feel safe to be seen, heard, and supported. If you’ve ever struggled with feeling “too much,” unseen, unworthy, or afraid to fully express yourself, this episode will remind you that your voice matters and your story has the power to heal both yourself and others.

Ep 75. Quit Drinking Without Hitting Rock Bottom with Paige Calentino

In this episode of Her Journey Home, I sit down with Paige Calentino.She is a sober curious life coach, founder of the fast-growing online community Sober Caliente, and creator of BecomingHer™ — a transformational coaching program helping women explore life alcohol free and step into the version of themselves they’ve always known they could be. Paige shares her deeply personal journey from navigating corporate burnout, toxic relationships, and binge drinking culture to completely rebuilding her life through sobriety and self-trust. After years of climbing the corporate ladder in change management while silently struggling with disconnection and alcohol dependence, Paige reached what she describes as her “dark night of the soul.” What began as a decision to stop escaping through alcohol became the catalyst for healing, clarity, confidence, and purpose. In this conversation, we dive into the identity shift that comes with becoming alcohol free, the fear of losing belonging, dating sober, rebuilding self-worth, and why you do not need to hit rock bottom to change your life. Paige also shares the unexpected ways sobriety transformed her relationships, health, energy, career, and overall outlook on life. If you’ve been sober, curious, questioning your relationship with alcohol, or craving a more aligned and fulfilling life, this episode is for you.

Ep 74. 4 Steps to Build Confidence Speaking & Overcome your Fear of Rejection

In this episode of Her Journey Home, I opened up about the deeper fear behind “being seen” — the fear of rejection and not being chosen. I shared how, for years, I dimmed parts of myself, stayed quiet, and avoided fully expressing who I was because I was scared people wouldn’t accept me. From toxic relationships to hiding my voice online, I talk honestly about the journey of learning that it’s safe to be fully seen and authentically expressed. I also share how podcasting, vulnerability, and nervous system work completely transformed the way I show up in the world today. I walk you through some of the exact tools that helped me build confidence and trust in myself, including mirror work, EFT tapping, and taking aligned action every single day — even when it felt uncomfortable. I also dive into why consistency matters more than instant gratification, how to build evidence that you are safe to take up space, and how each small step compounds over time. Whether your next edge is posting a face-to-camera video, speaking up in group settings, or finally launching your podcast, this episode is your reminder that your voice matters and the right people will always resonate with the real you.
