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 →

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

In this inspiring episode, host Tony Dufresne, PhD is joined byLeanne Sheargold, a leading quantum healer and trauma specialist who empowers women to break free from the cycles of people-pleasing, self-doubt, and hidden trauma.

Leanne opens up about her own life-changing journey of overcoming chronic people-pleasing, culminating in a dramatic health crisis that forced her to put herself first and learn the radical importance of self-care, boundaries, and self-worth.

Together, they explore what it really takes to step beyond surface-level fixes and address the deep, energetic roots of confidence struggles that so many women face whether juggling motherhood, careers, or healing from childhood wounds.

Discover actionable tools, quantum healing visualizations, and honest conversations about the guilt women carry when caring for themselves, why mindset work sometimes isn’t enough, and how to finally reclaim your inner sovereignty.

Three Big Takeaways

The Root Cause of Self-Doubt: Surface-level mindset work often fails because chronic self-doubt and limiting beliefs stem from unhealed childhood or teenage seeds trapped in the subconscious.

Listening to the Body: True healing requires connecting back to the physical body and learning to interpret its signals, rather than masking symptoms with quick fixes like medication.

Stopping the People-Pleasing Cycle: Over-giving and acting as a doormat drains your life force; true confidence begins only when you make the intentional choice to fill your own bucket first.
