## Resource

This is The Energy to Heal, your resource for all things Splankna, the faith-based inner healing modality that will help you achieve emotional freedom. In this episode, Laura Milliken sits down with Erica Pelzel, a Master's Certified Splankna Practitioner and one of Laura's personally recommended practitioners, to talk about what it really means to build a life you don't feel the need to escape from. Erica shares her story of hitting a point in life where everything felt heavy, overwhelming, and disconnected. Despite being told to "just take care of yourself," the idea of self-care felt frustrating and hollow—like surface-level solutions for something much deeper. Through her journey with Splankna, Erica began to uncover and resolve the deeper patterns that were keeping her stuck. Instead of trying to manage symptoms or escape her life temporarily, she experienced what it looked like to actually become free from the internal weight she was carrying. In this episode, they discuss: Why "self-care" can feel ineffective when the root issue isn't addressed The difference between escaping your life vs. transforming it How subconscious patterns can create a life that feels overwhelming or "dead" What it looks like to partner with the Lord in real, lasting change How true emotional freedom changes the way you show up in your everyday life If you've ever felt like your life looks fine on the outside but feels exhausting or disconnected on the inside, this conversation will resonate deeply. 🎟️ Want To Become a Practitioner?
