Scars to Stars™ Podcast
Ground, Release, Awaken
Descripción
In this Scars to Stars episode, Deana sits down with Grace Sophia—speaker, transformational coach, spiritual teacher, and “medicine woman”—to talk about healing, suicide prevention, and reclaiming inner authority. Grace shares her journey from immigrating from Siberia to New York City at age six, to dedicating her early life to helping her family and community through psychology. She studied educational psychology (CBT with children and families), worked as a neuroscience researcher, and spent time studying suicidality, personality disorders, and schizophrenia. Grace explains what stood out most in her suicidality research: warning signs can sometimes look like someone suddenly “feeling better” right before a suicide attempt—because having a plan can bring an eerie sense of relief. She also talks about how societal pressure, “toxic positivity,” and lack of authenticity can cause people to suffer silently—and why conversations and real connection matter. From there, Grace shares why she felt called beyond traditional academia into alternative healing modalities, including shamanism, reiki/energy work, somatic approaches, and sacred/plant medicine (as part of her work and teachings). She introduces her signature Magnetic GRACE Method—Ground, Release, Awaken, Create, Embody—and guides listeners through a short grounding meditation aimed at helping people return to their bodies, release heavy energy, and reconnect to life force. Grace also shares a transformation example (anonymized) that includes journaling practices, holistic supports, meditation, music as emotional medicine, and mentions plant medicine as part of the approach. The conversation comes full circle when Grace reveals she lost her younger brother to suicide—fueling her passion to help others stay, find support, and rediscover purpose. Disclaimer (for the treatments Grace mentions) This episode includes discussion of complementary/spiritual practices (e.g., energy work, shamanic practices, somatic tools) and also references plant medicine, including psilocybin.
