Transcending Trauma: The Spiritual Odyssey

Have you ever met someone whose energy was so fantastic that you knew you were in store for a great conversation?

That was Jack Sorenson. It was hard to believe that the man whose bio I'd read—battling alcoholism, binge eating, carrying 80 extra pounds—was the same vibrant, grounded person sitting on the other side of the camera.

My conversation with Jack hit me hard—in the best way possible.

I found myself nodding along, remembering my own thirties and forties when I was working a job others wanted me to have, giving more a...

Have you ever received a vision so powerful it changed your entire life's trajectory?

In 2022, Hope Fitzgerald was walking through her living room when the spiritual realm delivered an image that would transform everything. A massive wave appeared before her—curling like a surfer's dream tunnel, then twisting into an infinity shape with water held within its walls. Her friend couldn't see it, but frantically wrote down Hope's words as Spirit spoke through her.

The message was clear: teach the world about the Infinity Wave—a 10th-dimensional tool to heal trauma and accelerate spiritual evolution.

What was the defining moment that had you pause and realize the relationship was over? All of your efforts had suddenly gone up in smoke. To outsiders, this moment of finality may have seemed iniquitous or irrational. But, to those who suffered through a relationship with a narcissist, it was neither out of left field nor a sudden decision. Instead, their actions finally delivered desperately needed clarity. For Cheryl Stelte, best-selling author, the moment came as she and her husband hosted the neighbors for an outdoor party.

Join Cheryle and me as she takes us inside her...

The use of hallucinogenic drugs in the healing process is becoming more popular. Come with me 'Behind the Scenes' as I discuss the ins and outs of these drugs, what you need to know before deciding if they are right for you, and the importance of due diligence in the decision-making process. No one can speak to this subject better than someone who has experienced the drugs firsthand, as my guest in episode 23, Cristiano Colla, did. You'll want to hear what he has to say about his life-changing experience with Ayahuasca in the Peruvian forest.

Although my...

Soreya James woke up at 4 am from New Zealand to have a conversation that Spirit completely redirected. Instead of diving into her childhood, we started where she is now—in her 50s, being called to stop, go deep within, and find acceptance of this season of life. A time to soften: the heart, the mind, the body.

What emerged was profound. Soreya, a retreat leader, teacher trainer, author, and trauma-informed healer with over 25 years of experience, reveals why the inner child is non-negotiable to healing—and what happens in our bodies and minds when we don't reconcile that...

Cristiano Colla, from Palma, Italy, rated his childhood a 4 out of 5. The reality? Tremendous trauma. A mother who told him he was never wanted. Dreams of being a professional footballer (soccer) disappearing without explanation. Unresolved pain that led him to use sex as a vice—addiction that left him broken.

When traditional therapy and hypnotherapy weren't enough, Cristiano turned to Ayahuasca. Ten days in the Peruvian forest became his turning point. The biggest lesson? Switching from victimhood to empowerment—a game changer that transformed everything.

In this raw conversation, he reveals what he learned about hims...

At eight years old, Heather Ann Ferri went from a fairly happy child to silent and fearful— walking around like a deer in headlights. The shift happened suddenly when her mother began choking her while brushing her hair, abuse that continued for over a year. Yet no one asked what had happened. No one noticed. And Heather Ann learned to stay quiet, walking on eggshells in a desperate attempt to prevent what she couldn't control.

In this profound conversation, Heather Ann shares her journey from childhood trauma and generational pain to becoming a trauma expert and master al...

We're told to love ourselves. We say the words: "I love myself." But what happens when you discover those words are empty—or worse, that there are parts of you that you actually loathe?

In this 'Behind the Scenes' episode, I get raw and honest about my own healing journey and the uncomfortable truth I uncovered: I didn't love myself. Not really. Beneath the affirmations and the attempts at self-compassion, there were parts of me I secretly despised.

This episode is about that reckoning—the moment I had to face the gap between what I said...

In his mid-20s, Kevin Palmieri had everything society told him would make him happy—a beautiful girlfriend, high-paying job, sports car, and his dream body. Yet he found himself sitting on the edge of a bed, debating suicide. "Some people find rock bottom," Kevin says. "I found out that rock bottom had a basement."

In this raw and transformative conversation, Kevin shares how crushing expectations and external markers of success nearly cost him his life. After his rock bottom moment, he went all-in on holistic self-improvement, determined to overcome anxiety and depression and finally live the li...

Welcome to the inaugural episode of Behind the Scenes, a bonus series to Transcending Trauma: The Spiritual Odyssey. Host Shari Leigh Roberts pulls back the curtain on her work as a psychic medium and energy healer, offering an unprecedented look into what really happens in the spiritual realm.

In this introduction, Shari sets the stage for candid conversations that go beyond the typical mystical narratives. She'll be debunking common myths and falsities surrounding intuitive abilities, sharing the authentic realities of mediumship and energy work, and revealing the behind-the-scenes experiences that don't make it into regular episodes.

Before beginning an actual mini reading with a client named Tracey, Shari demonstrates her pre-reading ri...

Most cult stories are told from the outside looking in. This one comes from the throne itself.

Andrew-Ryan Profaci didn't stumble into the Love Has Won cult—he helped lead it. As "Father God" alongside the notorious "Mother God" Amy Carlson, he knew the inner workings more intimately than anyone who's still alive to talk about it.

But before the cameras, before Dateline and HBO, before the viral memoir, there was a teenager whose father left his mother for a man. No explanations. No transition. Just sudden full-time custody with his dad and his dad's bo...

Born into a loving but conflict-filled home, Randy's early life was a pressure cooker of tension. As a teenager, she found solace in music, though playing her favorite song on various instruments—the hauntingly titled "Suicide is Painless" from M*A*S*H—reflected her inner turmoil.
