Illuminated Recovery Podcast is shedding light on the path to healing through storytelling. Host Lisa shares her experience and dives deep into trauma recovery to illuminate issues such as Alcohol Use Disorder, Eating Disorders, and Complex PTSD. Guests will also be featured on the show to broaden the lens of these topics. This is a recovery journey about unlearning old conditioning, becoming conscious, and inspiring inner growth and authenticity. Join us if you are willing to be more vulnerable, are interested in changing your relationship to yourself or want to cultivate more awareness.
Childhood emotional neglect can hide in plain sight for years, but it quietly shapes how you feel, cope, love, and relate to yourself. Therapist Katie Egge breaks down the invisible wounds of CEN and emotionally immature parents, revealing why so many adults feel confused, disconnected, lonely, or too much without ever knowing why. She also explains what low effort parenting is and gives us tangible tools to help us begin healing and coming back to ourselves.
Katie also shares her personal journey with childhood emotional neglect and how she has come to help others along the way. She is a therapist in Minnesota and offers individual and family counseling as well as coaching (for those who are out of state) and group courses online.

E37: Phoenix Rising: Forged in the Fire of Narcissistic Abuse
Jess Frost is a returning guest on Illuminated Recovery Podcast. This time she shares her progress on her healing journey and how she rose up from the depths of narcissistic abuse. She has broken through old trauma cycles, exposed her abuser and the enmeshed patterns and then compares it to the larger collective and the corrupt leaders in charge today. This is a raw conversation about rebuilding yourself and rewriting the old conditioning of what we were told we should be. She shares how she reconnects to all parts of herself, how she built safety in her body and started accessing her intuition again.
