Align Yourself Podcast – Details, episodes & analysis

In this podcast episode, I had a powerful and deeply moving conversation with Jessica Ella, a trauma educator, survivor advocate, and founder of an online healing clinic dedicated to helping people process complex trauma and sexual abuse. Jessica bravely shares her lived experience of surviving childhood sexual abuse by both her father and grandfather. An experience that, tragically, is far more common than society acknowledges. We explore why most abuse happens within families, the reasons so many children aren't believed when they speak up, and the psychological mechanisms like betrayal trauma and dissociation that protect both children and adults from confronting painful truths.

Jessica doesn't just tell her story, she equips us with tools. We dive into how to respond to a child’s disclosure of abuse in a way that prioritises their nervous system and emotional safety. She explains how suppressed trauma shows up in adulthood and why avoidance leads to a life lived in survival mode. From the importance of somatic release and subconscious reprogramming, to how parents can lay the foundations for emotional resilience and body autonomy from birth, Jessica shares raw, practical, and deeply empowering wisdom for anyone ready to break generational cycles of shame and silence.

I had a conversation with Kristi McVee, a former police detective turned child abuse prevention educator, about one of the most confronting and vital topics facing parents today: how to protect our children from sexual abuse. Kristi’s powerful journey from police officer to specialist child interviewer, to PTSD survivor and now educator frames this raw and enlightening episode.

We unpack the most common myths about abuse (hint: it's almost never the stranger in the park), how grooming works, why it’s crucial to start consent and body autonomy conversations from birth, and how parents can build safe communication pathways that encourage children to speak up.

Kristi breaks down everything from how to handle sleepovers, social media exposure, and gaming, to how to react (without freezing or overreacting) if a child discloses abuse. This conversation is rich with examples, compassion, and practical advice that empowers parents—not with fear, but with clarity and conviction.

In today’s episode, we’re joined by Jacinta Curnow, a corneotherapist and clean beauty advocate, who takes us behind the scenes of the skincare industry. Jacinta shares why she left mainstream skincare to focus on treating the root cause of skin issues—rather than just masking symptoms—and what most people get wrong when it comes to true skin health.

We dive into the difference between holistic and conventional skincare, the powerful connection between nutrition and skin, and how to spot greenwashing in the beauty aisle. Jacinta also shares her expert tips on what ingredients to avoid, what to look for in clean formulations, and why labels like “natural” can be misleading.

From sunscreen truths to safer alternatives to injectables, this episode is full of practical, no-nonsense advice. Jacinta also opens up about the juggle between motherhood and running a values-driven business in the wellness space.

A must-listen if you’re ready to take a smarter, more empowered approach to skincare.

In this episode, I sat down with Charley O’Halloran, a holistic gut health coach, as he unpacks the deeper layers of what it truly means to heal the gut—beyond just diet trends and quick fixes.

• The truth about dietary fats and the hidden dangers of seed oils
• How childhood trauma shapes gut health and long-term wellbeing

In this episode, I had the honour of speaking with Kate—a midwife and Chinese medicine practitioner. We spoke about the power of holistic practices in supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and the sacred postpartum window—especially those first 40 days that are so often overlooked in modern care. Kate offered wisdom on navigating the identity shifts of motherhood, the importance of rest and nourishment, and how reconnecting with the body is essential for healing and balance.

What stood out most was the reminder that our intuition is a powerful guide. We talked about the need for women to advocate for their wellbeing, seek out community support, and trust the quiet knowing within. 🔗 Connect with Me Instagram: @alignyourself.podcast Tag me: @iam.ebonyrose

In this episode of the Align Yourself podcast, I sat down with Mrs. Vaughan—an inspiring advocate for low tox living. Together, we explored the unseen impacts of electromagnetic fields (EMFs), the hidden dangers of mobile phone use, and why creating a low tox home environment is so essential—especially for families. Mrs. Vaughan shared her personal journey into natural living, her thoughts on vaccinations, and how she is consciously preparing her body and space for motherhood.

What I loved most was how practical and empowering the conversation felt. Mrs. Vaughan offered down-to-earth tips for reducing chemical exposure in everyday life—simple, mindful changes that truly support long-term wellbeing.

In this episode, I sat down with Jasmine Grace to explore her inspiring journey from homemaker to thriving influencer and business owner.

From homeschooling her children to cultivating a deep love for sourdough baking, Jasmine offered a glimpse into a life rooted in intention and creativity.

What I found especially powerful was her take on authenticity—how staying true to your values and voice is not only refreshing but essential in today’s online space.

In this episode, I sat down with Jess, the Naturopath and founder of Circadian Kids, whose mission is to help families reconnect with nature’s rhythms—especially the sun. We explored the powerful impact of aligning with circadian cycles for better sleep, mood, energy, and long-term health. Jess shared her experience navigating pregnancy during the pandemic, where light, nourishment, and rhythm became her anchor amidst a dysregulated world. She introduced the concept of a “solar callus” and explained how sun exposure supports immunity and nervous system health.

We also unpacked the loss of ancestral parenting wisdom—like breastfeeding in community and rising with the sun—and how returning to slow, seasonal living can restore family wellness. Jess offered grounded, practical shifts in light, food, and rhythm that any family can start today. This episode is a call to remember what we’re biologically wired for: connection to land, light, and local food, and to reclaim indigenous ways of living that honour our bodies and the generations to come.

In this episode, Courtney and I dive deep into a raw, transformative conversation as part of our Wise Women of Community series. What begins as a lighthearted reflection on astrology and human design quickly evolves into a powerful exploration of chronic illness, spiritual awakening, and the unraveling of identity. Courtney vulnerably shares her experience with mold illness, breast implant toxicity, and a nervous system pushed to the brink. She opens up about how tools like astrology and human design, once empowering, became entangled with fear and control as her health declined. Through unexpected moments of prayer, divine intervention, and deep inner listening, Courtney began to find her way back to herself—beyond the systems and labels. We explore the difference between mold allergy and mold illness, the lesser-known risks of breast implants, and how nervous system regulation became the true foundation of her healing. Courtney's story is a brave reminder that sometimes healing isn’t about adding more—it’s about letting go, tuning in, and allowing something greater to guide you home. Now finding peace and purpose in slow living and soul-nourishing food, Courtney shares how she's rebuilding her life with gentleness, curiosity, and deep faith. This episode is for anyone navigating chronic illness, spiritual confusion, or the slow, sacred work of coming back to your body and truth.

For this week’s episode, I had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Catherine Edwards — Holistic Biologist, natural health practitioner, and host of The Live-Love-Learn Podcast. With a background in Biology, a Master’s in Business Studies, and over two decades of experience working with both animals and humans, Catherine blends science and nature to explore the root causes of dis-ease — physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Catherine shares simple, powerful tools to help you come back to presence, raise resilient children, and protect your energy in a system that often pulls us away from what truly matters.
