Key topicsBreaking the chain means rebuilding the version of yourself your past never allowed you to becomeFor many women, the hardest part of healing is not naming what happened to them; it is recognising the old family stories, labels, fears, and beliefs they are still living inside. Leanne speaks directly to women who are trying to break generational patterns, because she understands that change cannot stay as an idea, it has to become boundaries, action, resilience, and a new way of moving through the world. Her work is about helping women deconstruct the old narrative of who they were told to be, so they can rebuild the version of themselves they actually want to live as. For podcasts focused on trauma, women’s empowerment, spiritual healing, family patterns, and emotional resilience, this creates a deeply human conversation about becoming the chain breaker without pretending it is easy. Hand-Me-Downs — The Family Pain Nobody Chose to WearLeanne Sheargold has spent years helping women separate their own pain from the pain they inherited, work that began when repressed memories of childhood abuse surfaced in her early 50s and her 33-year marriage ended. She argues that the hardest part of recovery is not naming what happened but spotting the family stories, labels and fears a woman is still living inside, most of them handed over before she was old enough to refuse them. In sessions she works through the signs that someone is carrying what was never theirs: guilt with no source, loyalty to a rule nobody remembers making, tiredness that no amount of rest touches. She calls the outcome becoming a chain breaker, and she is blunt that it takes boundaries and action rather than insight alone. Listeners leave able to tell which patterns they built and which they were dressed in, and what to put down first.How Trauma Survivors Learn to Trust Their Own Body AgainLeanne Sheargold had a stroke at 28 while raising three sons under five, and she has spent the years since working out, then teaching, how a body that once failed someone can be trusted again. She works with women who came through trauma disconnected from their body and their instincts, women who describe reading themselves the way they would read a stranger. Her first step is never insight, it is safety: small repeatable practices that make it bearable to notice a signal before deciding what it means. She runs that body-based work alongside therapy rather than in place of it, adding energy and ancestral practice where clients want it, and a book on the approach is due out with Baloa Press. Listeners leave with one practice they can run the same day, and a clearer sense of why self-trust has to be rebuilt rather than waited for.View all topics →

About Leanne Sheargold

Trauma Recovery & Spiritual Healing Practitioner | Quantum Energy Healer

2023 Pure Gold Holistic & Wellbeing began3 Certified massage modalities28 Age when she survived a stroke while parenting 3 sons under 5Co-runs Australian healing shop

Leanne Sheargold is an intuitive trauma healer and quantum healing practitioner who supports women and men recovering from childhood abuse, domestic violence, complex trauma, and life-shattering health events.

Her pathway into healing began with a personal health crisis and decades of life upheaval. She had a stroke at 28 while parenting three sons under five, and later, in her early 50s, began recovering repressed memories of childhood abuse while her marriage collapsed. Seeking intensive treatment overseas led to a period of focused recovery and community support that redirected her life toward running healing circles and offering energy work.

Today, Leanne uses her lived experience and spiritual healing work to help women reconnect with themselves, release old patterns, and move beyond trauma. She co-runs a healing shop in Australia, where she supports clients through quantum healing, energy work, spiritual practices, aromatherapy products, meditation, both in person and remotely. Her work often focuses on women dealing with trauma, chronic fatigue, emotional heaviness, family narratives, old belief systems, and the process of becoming what she calls a “chain breaker.”

On a practical level she combines intuitive and multidimensional practices with body-based awareness, ancestral healing, and energetic support to help clients clear trauma, inherited patterns, and energetic imprints.

About this episode

A single moment can split your life into before and after, and sometimes the shock isn’t just what happened today, it’s what your body has been holding for decades. We sit down withLeanne Sheargold, to unpack how repressed childhood trauma can hide in the nervous system and show up later as nausea, panic, brain fog, extreme tiredness, and sudden dissociation. Leanne shares her path through a stroke at 28, motherhood under pressure, and then the terrifying experience of buried memories surfacing in midlife after conflict and escalating control at home.

We talk candidly about what dissociation can look like in real life, why sleep can become impossible, and how “I can’t explain it” is often a trauma response, not a failure. Leanne also explains the reality of seeking help: the challenge of finding the right therapist, what EMDR therapy was like when it went deep, and why safety and consistency matter more than willpower. If you’ve ever felt like talk therapy alone keeps opening the wound without fully clearing it, this conversation gives you language and options.

Then we move into Leanne’s work with energetic healing and quantum healing, including how she approaches trauma as layers in the body, how she avoids putting labels on clients, and what a distance healing session can look like over Zoom. We also explore patterns that repeat through relationships and family lines, plus a powerful story of chronic fatigue improving after steady, layered work.
