Episode Summary

There are moments in our lives where something shifts—where we begin to see ourselves and our experiences in a new way. This conversation with Ashana Kaiulani was one of those moments.

In this episode of Spiritual Friction, Laurel LeMohn and Ashana explore intuition, trauma healing, and the quiet ways we learn to disconnect from ourselves in order to survive. Together, they move through the experience of silencing the inner voice—and what it means to begin listening again.

Ashana shares her work supporting women navigating emotional pain and betrayal, and the process of helping them reconnect with who they are beneath those experiences. The conversation weaves through generational trauma, intuitive downloads, somatic experiences such as blushing, full-body chills, and tingling, and the ways the body communicates when we begin to feel safe enough to listen.

This is a grounded conversation on self-trust, inner child healing, and coming home to yourself through awareness, presence, and compassion.

What We Explore

• Reconnecting with your inner voice and intuition

• How trauma can lead us to silence our inner knowing

• Inner child healing and emotional safety

• Somatic awareness and body-based experiences

• Generational trauma and inherited patterns

• Rebuilding self-trust after disconnection

Key Quotes

“I had convinced myself that I'd never had an intuition all along because I had silenced it.”

“You didn’t lose your intuition—you learned to quiet it.”

Why This Episode Matters

Many people feel disconnected from themselves—questioning their intuition, minimizing their needs, or staying small to feel safe.

This conversation offers a different perspective: nothing is missing—there are simply parts of you that adapted.

For those navigating trauma, emotional overwhelm, or identity shifts, this episode offers a gentle reminder that reconnection is possible.
