Summary
What happens when burnout, grief, and loss collide? For Leslie Draffin , a 15-year broadcast journalist and news anchor, it became a breaking point—and ultimately, a breakthrough. In this Hearts Rise Up Podcast episode, Leslie shares the raw, vulnerable story of walking away from the anchor desk after years of hidden trauma, PTSD, and exhaustion, only to discover a profound new path as a trauma-informed somatic practitioner, psychedelic microdosing guide, and womb mystic . This conversation is a journey through the dark night of the soul into rebirth —exploring how grief can become a sacred portal, how the womb holds untapped wisdom , and how sacred Earth medicines invite us back into trust, authenticity, and the Divine Feminine. You’ll hear moving client stories of transformation, visionary insights into reimagining society through cyclical wisdom, and a powerful reminder that “You are it—you’re already the embodiment of what you’re seeking.” ____________ Key Topics 00.00 – Intro – Meet Leslie Draffin 04:08 – Public Breaking Point & Phoenix Rising 08:17 – Identity Collapse with Sacred Earth Medicine 11:41 – Grief as a Portal 17:29 – The Path of the Womb Mystic 19:51 – Becoming Ungovernable 23:25 – Client Stories of Transformation 29:45 – Reimagining Society & Feminine Wisdom 33:13 – Walking the Edge 36:10 – Following the Signs 39:12 – A Message from the Womb ____________ Episode Resources https://www.lesliedraffin.com/ https://www.instagram.com/lesliedraffin/ https://www.facebook.com/leslie.draffin https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRakA_HiNPoVYEB_MYDEs3Q Connect With Hearts Rise Up and LifeQuest Horizons https://heartsriseup.com/ Sign up for our popular, weekly “Notes From Your Higher Self” The Art of Inner Mastery https://www.lifequesthorizons.com/ Subscribe…
