If you’ve ever felt trapped in a cycle of pain, pills, and endless doctor visits, this episode is for you.

My guest today, Laura Haraka, spent four years chasing answers for her chronic pelvic pain, seeing over 25 doctors, getting 10 different diagnoses, trying medications, and even having surgery, with no relief.

Then came the turning point: discovering somatic experiencing, breathwork, and the mind-body connection that completely transformed her life. Laura is now pain-free, without meds, without procedures, and she’s teaching others how to do the same.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

  • Laura’s journey from hopelessness to healing
  • The 3 aha moments that changed everything
  • What somatic experiencing really is (and how it helps)
  • How breathwork can calm your nervous system and reduce pain
  • Free resources you can try today to start your own healing journey

🎧 Listen until the end — Laura shares free meditations and breathwork practices you can use right away.
