What is Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), and how can we use it to heal from trauma and release old patterns?
Theresa Lear Levine is a master EFT practitioner, entrepreneur and mom of four who helps clients release their trauma and limiting patterns so that they can become more present, feel happier and get aligned with their values and vision for the future.
After dealing with her own struggles with ADHD and high functioning anxiety, she learned effective ways to get unstuck and create a different outcome for herself. In our conversation, we talk about EFT - or emotional freedom technique - and how our emotions often store themselves in the body.
Theresa shares ways we can use EFT to quiet our busy minds, tips for creating affirmations for ourselves that we actually believe in, and daily habits we can all incorporate to help us regulate our nervous systems.
If you'd like to get access to the exclusive EFT session that Theresa and I did after the show recording (the topic was "feeling overwhelmed" so I'm sure it could help you, as we all feel that way from time to time!), simply send an email to Theresa theresa@theresalearlevine.com with the subject line "Wellness and Wanderlust" and she'll send you that private session right away! It's just like working with her and it's jam packed with value, nervous system regulation and breakthroughs.

What is sex and love addiction, and what does the recovery process look like?
This week, I’m chatting with Brianne Davis, an actress, director and producer, podcast host and author of “Secret Life of a Hollywood Sex and Love Addict.” In our conversation, Brianne and I discuss what sex and love addiction is, and many of the misconceptions around this type of addiction. We talk about trauma bonding, mistakes we are making in the dating world today, how our early childhood experiences play into sex and love addiction, and the compare and despair trap that comes from our social media.
Brianne most recently starred on the History Channel’s “Six” and has also appeared on shows like Lucifer, Casual, Rosewood, True Blood, The Mentalist and more. With more than a decade of recovery as a sex and love addict, Brianne is the host of the popular mental health podcast “Secret Life” and recently published her best-selling book on the topic as well.

How can we take ownership of our reproductive health?
This week, we chat with Haley Smith, a women’s health nutritionist and certified fertility awareness method practitioner. Through the fertility awareness method, Haley guides women to either consciously conceive or avoid pregnancy through their bodies’ innate rhythms. In our conversation, we talk about how the fertility awareness method works and how we can empower ourselves through our bodies’ fifth vital sign. Haley also shares tips for women looking to transition off of hormonal birth control, how men can prepare for conception, and nutritional changes we can make to support our hormone health.
As you’ll learn in this episode, Haley is also hosting the Fertility Freedom workshop in February 2022 with a group of incredible practitioners. This is a two-day virtual event for anyone who wants to learn about preparing their body for pregnancy and I highly suggest you check it out! Use code VALERIE at check-out to get $25 off.
