Ep. 48 - Kidney Transplant Miracle & COVID Loss | Jean Sime’s Story of Survival & Grief (Part 2)

Ep. 55 - Your Brain Doesn't Give a Shit About Your Happiness | Jon Paul Crimi

Today, there are many high-profile healers who are sought after by celebrities, executives, elite athletes, and people like us — teachers who share powerful healing modalities and guide others through transformation. But the truth is, having the tools to help others does not mean they are using their tools to heal. The key to healing is consistency — showing up, doing the work, and being willing to go into the places within ourselves where trauma, fear, and old patterns have been stored. Circular breathwork is one powerful modality that can help bring awareness to what has been holding us back and create space for profound transformation. Jon Paul Crimi is the real deal because he doesn’t just teach the work — he lives it. Two decades ago, JP began his own healing journey, exploring multiple healing modalities, but breathwork became the practice that continues to support his own growth and transformation. After years of working with celebrities, executives, and high performers — and experiencing the heartbreaking loss of his dear friend Matthew Perry — JP gets real about what healing truly requires. He shares how our brains can try to protect us by keeping us in familiar fear-based patterns, and why consistency, courage, and commitment are what ultimately create change. “It is tough work, but you’ve done tougher things to heal. Keep breathing,” says JP. If you’re ready for an honest conversation about healing, sobriety, trauma, resilience, and the journey that brought JP to where he is today, tune in. His story is a powerful reminder that transformation is possible — but we have to be willing to do the work.

Ep. 54 - How a Homeless Man and a Snowstorm Led Barb Nangle to Boundaries

What began as an act of compassion on a freezing winter night in Connecticut became the catalyst for a profound personal reckoning. Barb Nangle shares the turning point that changed the course of her life—inviting a homeless man into her home as a snowstorm approached. What followed was not a simple act of charity, but a series of nights that brought rising chaos, addiction-related challenges, and an undeniable sense that her own safety and stability were slipping away. In that discomfort, something deeper surfaced. Barb began to see the pattern she had lived with for years: a cycle of co-dependency, over-giving, and attempting to earn worth through helping others—while silently numbing her own emptiness through food. The situation didn’t just create external disruption; it revealed an internal structure she could no longer ignore. That moment became the entry point into recovery. Through a 12-Step program, Barb began building something she had never truly had before: internal safety. From that foundation, she learned that boundaries are not walls—they are clarity, self-respect, and survival. Today, Barb is a boundaries coach, author, podcast host, and speaker helping others break free from the patterns of co-dependency and reclaim their sense of self. This conversation explores the uncomfortable origin story of change, the hidden cost of over-functioning for others, and what it really takes to choose yourself.

Ep. 53 - The Landscape Didn't Change. I Did | Briana Gervat

She went to Rwanda seeking answers about genocide. She walked 500 miles along the Western Front searching for peace. What she discovered was neither. In this deeply moving conversation, Briana Gervat shares how studying humanity's darkest chapters forced her to confront her own pain, grief, and unanswered questions. From the killing fields of Rwanda to the battle-scarred landscapes of France and Belgium, her journey became far more than historical research—it became a pilgrimage through trauma, healing, and spiritual awakening. Years later, when she returned to France, everything was different. Or perhaps she was. Where she once found silence, she heard wedding bells. Where she once felt sorrow, she found joy. Where she once walked among reminders of death, she experienced life in full bloom. A conversation about what happens when we stop fighting our healing and allow ourselves to be guided somewhere beyond our fears.

Ep. 52 - What if there is nothing wrong with you? | Dr. Fred Moss

What if there is nothing wrong with you? In this episode of The Shari Leigh Roberts Podcast, I speak with Dr. Fred Moss, a board-certified psychiatrist with over 45 years of experience and more than 30,000 patients seen. He is the founder of Welcome to Humanity and author of Creative 8 and Find Your True Voice. Dr. Moss challenges traditional mental health models and offers a radically different perspective: that many people are not broken, but unheard. His work centers on the belief that healing begins through authentic expression, creativity, and being truly listened to. This conversation is especially meaningful, as both Dr. Moss and Shari Leigh Roberts are from southeastern Michigan and share lived experience around voice and being unheard. Dr. Moss speaks openly about not feeling heard in his childhood, and Shari relates personally, having experienced the loss of her voice—both figuratively and physically—due to trauma. Together, they explore: * Why you are not broken—you may be unheard * Trauma, identity, and mental health labeling * Reclaiming your voice after emotional pain * Creativity, expression, and healing * Where traditional psychiatry meets deeper human-centered healing Dr. Moss has been featured on 300+ podcasts and is known for his core message: “Maybe there is nothing wrong with you—you just haven’t been heard.” Connect with Dr. Fred on social media - Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/drfredmoss/] LinkedIn [https://www.linkedin.com/in/drfredmoss] Instagram [https://www.instagram.com/drfredmoss/] X [https://twitter.com/drfredmoss] YouTube [https://www.youtube.com/@drfredmoss] ✨✨✨Buy Shari's book Broken to Enlightened on her website at shariroberts.org/my-book or on most online bookstores globally.

Deeply grounded yet undeniably badass, Martha has devoted her life to helping others reclaim their agency, reconnect to their bodies, and live with authentic presence. Drawing from a rich tapestry of healing modalities, including shamanic practices, somatic awareness, Celtic spirituality, and sacred Irish traditions, Martha shares profound experiences from ritual sites throughout Ireland and the transformative training that shaped her path.

This conversation is mystical, grounding, deeply human, and filled with wisdom for anyone navigating healing, awakening, grief, reinvention, or spiritual expansion. Martha has a rare gift for demystifying transformation while holding compassionate space for the complexity of becoming.
