    What if someone could look at your energy and tell you exactly
    what's blocking your healing — and clear it in real time?

    In this unscripted, deeply vulnerable episode of Trauma Rock
    Stars™, host Tracy Smaldino invites spiritual coach, master
    healer, and 3-time author Cheryl to conduct a LIVE chakra reading
    and energy healing session — on Tracy herself. Nothing was planned
    in advance. What was revealed surprised even Tracy.

    In this episode:
    - Cheryl's origin story: her late brother's spirit appeared as
    a ball of white light 32 years ago
    - What chakra readings actually reveal — blocks AND superpowers
    - The block found directly in front of Tracy's eyes
    - The nervous system urgency pattern working against healing
    - Live harab breathwork: how full breath accesses the subconscious
    - Inner child healing at age 6 — the root of "I'm not enough"
    - Why awareness alone doesn't heal — it takes the body too
    - The 3 affirmations that shifted everything:
    I am loved. I am enough. Life is incredible.
    - How to become your own energy worker

    "We are all powerful beyond what we can currently believe."
    — Cheryl, Star of Divine Light Institute

    Sound Check: How to Check In With Yourself Before the World Gets to You | Trauma Rock Stars™

    When is the last time you checked in with yourself before the
    world got to you?

    In this solo episode, Tracy Smaldino introduces the Sound Check
    — the daily non-negotiable practice that separates reactive people
    from grounded ones. Your nervous system is your instrument. Your
    body, emotions, thoughts, and voice are your channels. Skip the
    check-in and you walk onto the stage of your life completely
    uncalibrated.

    In this episode:
    - Why skipping your daily check-in keeps you stuck in
    reactive mode
    - The difference between reactive and responsive
    - The 4 channels of your personal sound check
    - A check-in question for every channel
    - 4 simple steps to make this a daily practice
    - Why trauma teaches us to abandon ourselves — and how to
    come back
    - How Rock Star 30™ builds the daily check-in into your
    healing structure

    Your 4 Channels:
    1. The Vocals (Voice) — What am I not saying that needs
    to be said?
    2. The Beat (Body) — Where am I holding tension right now?
    3. The Mix (Emotions) — What emotion am I carrying that
    I haven't named?
    4. The Reverb (Mind) — What story am I telling myself
    today — and is it true?

    "You cannot pour from an empty soundboard."
    — Tracy Smaldino

    Five minutes. Four questions. One practice that changes
    everything.

  • 70 Days Between Life and Death — Her Near-Death Experience | Holly Porter

    70 Days Between Life and Death — Her Near-Death Experience | Holly Porter
    Jun 4 2026
    Send us Fan MailWhat do you see when you're at the very edge of life? In this unforgettable episode of Trauma Rock Stars™, host Tracy talks with Holly Porter, who spent 70 days in two hospitals fighting COVID in 2021 — intubated, in and out of a coma, with her organs shutting down. During that time, Holly had a series of profound out-of-body and near-death experiences that completely changed how she sees life, purpose, and what comes next. Holly shares the "Stadium of Light," a life review that showed her only the good, a visit from her late mother, an army of loved ones (living and passed) chanting for her to "fight," and the single message that transformed everything: love them where they're at. She also opens up about her two hard years afterward, the hypnosis sessions that unlocked the rest of her story, and the SHIFT framework she now teaches. This is a story of survival, faith, and finding your purpose — no matter what you've been through. 🧠 Questions We Explore in This Episode:• What is a near-death experience really like?• What's the difference between an out-of-body experience and a near-death experience?• How can a brush with death reveal your true purpose?• What does it mean to "love people where they're at"?• How do you turn your hardest experiences into a legacy? ❓ Quick FAQ:Q: What did Holly see during her near-death experience?A: Holly describes leaving her body, traveling to what she calls the "Stadium of Light," a life review that showed her only the good moments, and being surrounded by loved ones — both living and passed — urging her to fight. Q: What is the SHIFT framework?A: SHIFT is the framework Holly teaches and writes about in her book "Near Death Shift." It stands for Surrender, Hope, Intuition, Faith, and Transformation. Q: How can you find your purpose after a hard experience?A: Holly believes you don't have to almost die to truly live. Her advice: quiet the outside noise, listen to your own intuition, and remember that changing even one life — including your own — is a purpose worth honoring. Note: The spiritual experiences and beliefs Holly shares are her own, offered for reflection and hope — not medical advice. 🎸 Take the FREE Trauma Rock Stars™ Life Audit™:👉 https://form.typeform.com/to/qeZfPouwFind out exactly where you are on your healing journey in less than 5 minutes.
