The HEAVEN ON EARTH Podcast: A Portal to Possibility

Send us Fan Mail Nobody handed us an instruction manual for being human. We learned reading, writing, manners, and how to perform, yet so many of us were never taught what to do with grief, heartbreak, anxiety, or the subtle “something is off” feeling in a friendship or relationship. That gap shows up later as a weird kind of adulthood whiplash: you can be capable, resilient, and outwardly success...

Send us Fan Mail “I don’t really have feelings” sounds calm, even confident, but I’ve come to believe it’s one of the most dangerous things a person can believe about themselves. When we don’t have language, permission, or a container for emotion, feelings don’t disappear. They go underground, then resurface as behaviors we don’t fully understand and can’t sustainably control. We zoom in on the wa...

Send us Fan Mail I disappeared for a couple months because life was lifing, and the pause gave me something I did not know we needed: clarity. While moving between two homes and spending more time observing than producing, I kept circling one question that feels urgent right now. What is the coherent thread of being human when the world keeps shifting, and when information is everywhere all the ti...

Send us Fan Mail Abuse does not need bruises to be real, and one of the most disorienting parts is how “normal” it can start to feel from the inside. Grace and Claudia (psychotherapist and co-author) dig into Chapter 5 of Healing From Narcissistic Abuse and lay out the symptoms that quietly take over your body, your choices, and your sense of self long before you can explain what’s happening. We s...

Send us Fan Mail Peace can be the hardest thing your body has ever tried to do. When you’ve lived with trauma, chronic stress, addiction dynamics, or a family culture that runs on tension, your nervous system learns to call conflict “normal.” Calm can feel like boredom, emptiness, or even danger, not because you’re broken, but because cortisol and adrenaline have become familiar. I unpack what’s h...

Send us Fan Mail “Give me a child until the age of seven, and I will show you the man” isn’t just a quote we repeat, it’s a blueprint that empires and abusers have used for centuries. We follow that thread from the inside of a child’s nervous system all the way out to culture, institutions, and war, because the earliest stories don’t stay small. They become policies, relationships, and repeating f...

Send us Fan Mail One honest sentence like “You hurt my feelings” can trigger a full-blown reality warp in a narcissistic relationship and it is not your imagination. We sit down together to name the pattern behind that whiplash and to give you a clear blueprint you can recognize in real time. Grace and Claudia Kauterucci, a Washington, DC psychotherapist and co-author of Healing from Narcissistic...

Send us Fan Mail Dropping on International Women's Day — because this is not a coincidence. This is a declaration. Start where life starts: a field of competitors racing toward a single gate, and an overlooked truth — the egg curates, the egg chooses. From that simple, stunning fact, we unpack how biology encodes a blueprint for power, consent, and dignity that cultures later inverted. When a...

From the intoxicating high of love-bombing to the gu...

Send us Fan Mail A simple family conversation spiraled into pounding heart, racing thoughts, and the old urge to fix everything at once. That tidal wave felt like love on the surface, but underneath it lived gaslighting trauma and a codependent rescue reflex that had me building a case, anticipating rebuttals, and wearing the lawyer hat to prove reality. We wanted to tell the truth about that mome...

Send us Fan Mail What if your anxiety, confusion, or sudden burst of passion isn’t a problem to fix but a message from your deeper self?

Along the way, we unpack how insulin and inflammation translate to reactivity and overwhelm, how autophagy mirrors mental h...
