   No Longer Leading With Your Wounds ft. Hilary Momberger Powers

   In this episode of Street Psychology Podcast, host LaSylvia sits down with Hilary Momberger Powers — a woman who started her career at age five as the voice of Sally Brown in the iconic Peanuts cartoon, spent decades working behind the scenes as a Hollywood script supervisor, and has now dedicated her life to helping others heal. Hilary gets raw and real about how trauma isn't reserved for the few — it's the universal human experience. From growing up in a family that looked perfect on the outside to carrying the weight of her mother's unresolved wounds, Hilary unpacks how childhood fractures shape the characters we become: the people pleaser, the controller, the loner. And how, until we do the work, we just keep passing that pain forward. This conversation is a deep, honest exploration of: How trauma forms the lens through which we see ourselves and the world Why we lead with our wounds — and how to stop The difference between looking good and actually being okay What it takes to reconnect with your heart, rediscover your strength, and walk toward healing.

   Finding Your Inner Convergence: Integrating Action, Emotion, and Inspiration

   In this deeply personal conversation, David Allen Brown shares his revolutionary Convergence framework—a practice for recognizing and integrating the three essential voices within us: the doer (action and intellect), the emotional self (instinct and feeling), and the inspirational voice (divine wisdom and unconditional love). After years as a stay-at-home dad, David found himself struggling with depression, having neglected his emotional needs in favor of constant doing. A pivotal moment in the shower changed everything—when his emotional voice finally spoke up: "What I want is to be loved no matter how I feel." This awakening sparked a journey of rediscovery that led to the development of his Convergence program. In this episode, we explore: How to recognize the different voices in your internal dialogue Why we tend to over-rely on one aspect of ourselves (usually action/doing) at the expense of others The myth that "the goal of life is to be happy" and why all emotions deserve our gratitude How David's experience falling in love—and later ending that relationship—taught him to integrate all three voices The difference between inspiration and ego, and how to trust that quiet divine voice Why community and vulnerability are essential for personal growth How to define success on your own terms instead of society's metrics The manifestation cycle: visualization, action, gratitude, and celebration as a spiral of growth David's approach is refreshingly practical and grounded—this isn't about toxic positivity or abandoning your responsibilities. It's about balance, integration, and learning to honor all parts of your human experience.

   Finding Safety Within: Navigating Trauma, Nervous System Healing & Emotional Sobriety with Natalie Bedard

   In this powerful conversation, Natalie Bedard (founder of Lift Oneself podcast) shares her transformative approach to emotional healing through nervous system regulation. After being given just 3-6 months to live 11 years ago and spending 40 days in the hospital without a diagnosis, Natalie discovered the profound power of mindfulness, somatic practices, and facing trauma head-on. The episode opens with a guided mindful moment that demonstrates how just 2-3 minutes of breathwork can shift your entire nervous system. Natalie explains why we're not "broken" but rather "breaking open" – a continuous process that creates space for resilience and growth. Key Topics Discussed: How to regulate your nervous system in real time The difference between broken and breaking open Why trauma is a protective mechanism, not an enemy Breaking free from spiritual and mindset bypass The dangers of high-functioning as an addiction How social media and constant connectivity dysregulate our nervous systems Finding safety within yourself rather than seeking it externally The power of meditation in everyday chaos (even with twin 5-year-olds) Processing emotions instead of suppressing or avoiding them Using your body's signals as communication Natalie shares her personal journey through chronic pain, single parenthood, and death – including holding space for her friend's final breath. Her raw honesty about her own ongoing healing process makes this deeply relatable for anyone struggling with trauma, anxiety, or feeling overwhelmed by modern life.
