In this deeply moving episode of Vivatude, host Lauren Archer, guide for emotional and spiritual wellness, is joined by Ellen Newhouse—trained acupuncturist, sound healer, author, and transformational coach—for a powerful conversation about healing trauma, reclaiming inner truth, and restoring energetic vitality in midlife. Ellen shares her personal journey from childhood trauma and emotional silencing to profound healing after a chronic “mystery illness” left her unable to breathe and unsupported by conventional medicine. Her story offers hope and validation for women over 40 who have felt dismissed, disconnected, or overwhelmed by caregiving, life transitions, or unexplained health challenges.

Together, Lauren and Ellen explore how unprocessed emotions and trauma can become stuck energy in the body, often manifesting as physical illness, anxiety, or exhaustion. Ellen explains energy medicine in accessible, grounded terms and reflects on how ancient healing systems—such as acupuncture, Chinese herbal medicine, and intuitive guidance—helped her release stored trauma and reconnect with her authentic self. This episode invites listeners to gently shift from living “from the neck up” into deeper body awareness, emotional honesty, and self-compassion—essential practices for women navigating midlife, identity shifts, and spiritual awakening.

The episode concludes with practical, empowering tools women can use right away, including journaling to access subconscious truth, body-based inquiry to uncover emotional wisdom, and the healing power of community. Ellen also offers a live sound healing experience, using her voice and a crystal bowl to demonstrate how vibration and frequency can move energy, calm the nervous system, and reconnect listeners with their inner light. Lauren closes with an invitation to her free 7-Day Energy Elevation Lab, designed to help women reset their emotional and spiritual vitality. If you’re seeking healing, clarity, and renewed joy, this episode of Vivatude offers a compassionate reminder: you are not broken—and it’s never too late to begin again.
