What if the patterns that keep hurting us aren’t random—but deeply learned? On Soul Sparks, hosted by Saima, we sit with Dr. Tony Iezzi to explore why the same emotional loops show up in our lives—and what it takes to finally change them.
This episode is for anyone feeling stuck in familiar struggles—relationships, stress, or self-doubt. You’ll learn how hidden “themes” from early life shape your reactions, why awareness alone isn’t enough, and how small, intentional actions can begin real change.
About the Guest:
Dr. Tony Iezzi is a clinical psychologist with decades of experience working with trauma, chronic pain, and behavioral patterns. He co-authored a book on reenactment patterns and focuses on helping people break recurring emotional cycles.
