<p>What if the healing you've been searching for is already inside of you?</p> <p>In this deeply personal and expansive episode of Roots+Rebirth™, Terri R. Broussard sits down with healer, teacher, and founder of Good Energy Heals, Sheryl Netzky, for a conversation about intuition, emotional healing, grief, embodiment, spirituality, and returning home to yourself. Terri shares how Sheryl's work helped transform her own life during one of its most difficult seasons, navigating a concussion recovery, burnout, grief, identity shifts, and the unraveling of a marriage.</p> <p>Together, they explore the whispers we ignore, the cost of disconnection, and the profound healing available when we learn to listen inward. Sheryl explains how her journey began with meditation and stress physiology at age 14, evolved through decades in education and yoga, and ultimately expanded into shamanic energy work focused on helping people restore balance physically, emotionally, spiritually, energetically.</p> <p>This conversation is both grounding and expansive. It is for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from themselves, overwhelmed by life, grieving deeply, or quietly sensing that there is another way forward.</p> <p>What We Talk About</p> <ul> <li>How stress and thoughts affect the body physically </li> <li>The connection between stillness, intuition, and healing</li> <li>Why high achievers often disconnect from themselves </li> <li>Teaching, energy sensing, and embodied awareness </li> </ul> <p>Where to Find Sheryl and Terri:</p> <p>Website: https://www.goodenergyheals.com/</p> <p>Instagram: @sherylnetzky</p> <p>Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sheryl.netzk">Sheryl Netzky</a></p> <p>LinkedIn: <a href= "https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheryl-netzky-114b4b39/">Sheryl Netzky</a></p> <p>Instagram: @TerriRBroussard @rootsandrebirthpodcast</p>
