Ep 122. The Holistic Psychologist: Why I Chose to Leave My Relationship with a 6-Month Old Baby
Episode description
In this episode, Ash reconnects with Laura Corcoran, a Holistic Psychologist and mother of three. Just four weeks after a life-altering breakup and with a six-month-old baby in her arms, Laura joins Ash to talk candidly about what it means to unravel, release, and rise.
Laura opens up about walking away from a relationship that no longer aligned, the fears and shame she faced in doing so, and the soul corrections that continue to unfold in her healing journey. She shares how victim consciousness, nervous system regulation, and inner child work have helped her break cycles of hyper-independence and self-abandonment.
This episode is a powerful reflection on reclaiming power, sitting with grief, and how motherhood can both dismantle and reforge identity. With insight, vulnerability, and compassion, Laura shows how choosing self-trust, even when terrified, can open the door to a more expansive life.
