We talk practical forgiveness (without contact), trauma stored in the body, and why boundaries\u2014not bypassing\u2014create real safety. Shannon also explains how intentional, therapeutic plant-medicine work helped her move from mental looping to felt healing, and how translating that experience into a children\u2019s book gives families language for fear, grief, and growth. SEO: trauma healing, forgiveness, inner child, somatic release, plant medicine, boundaries, childhood trauma recovery, mindful living.\nAbout the guest\u00a0\u00a0:\nShannon Curtis is the founder of Angel Goddess Healing and the author of No More Monsters Under the Bed. Her work centers on trauma recovery, forgiveness, somatic integration, and heart-led boundaries.\nKey takeaways:\u00a0\u00a0\n\n\nThe body keeps score: talk therapy helped, but unresolved trauma stayed in the body until Shannon worked somatically and spiritually.\n\n\nForgiveness \u2260 access: you can release shame and reclaim power while keeping strict no-contact boundaries.\n\n\nPlant medicine as a tool (not a shortcut): in a supervised, intentional setting, it shifted her from mental analysis to felt truth\u2014then integration.\n\n\nShame is the residue that harms us most; returning misplaced shame (energetically and through therapy) can unlock healing.\n\n\n\u201cHigher-self view\u201d reduces reactivity: seeing events through a spiritual lens supported forgiveness without excusing harm.\n\n\nIntegration matters: meditation, breathwork, and daily practices sustain gains beyond any ceremony or session.\n\n\nWriting for families: No More Monsters Under the Bed gives children (and adults) simple language to \u201cshine a light\u201d on fear and learn self-trust.\n\n\nHope is a practice: healing isn\u2019t instant; it\u2019s consistent self-love, boundaries, and support.\n\n\nConnect with the guest\u00a0\u00a0\nWebsite: angelgoddesshealing.comBook: No More Monsters Under the Bed (details on her site)Coaching/Speaking: Inquire via website contact page\nWant to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?
