ABOUT THIS PODCAST 🔗
The Light Within is a podcast for high-functioning, spiritually curious women who are ready to stop abandoning themselves and step into embodied self-leadership.
Hosted by Leslie Draffin - trauma-informed somatic practitioner, psychedelic microdosing guide, and former television news anchor - this show explores what it actually takes to heal your nervous system, rebuild self-trust, and reclaim your embodied power.
Because many successful women look calm and capable on the outside… while their nervous system is quietly living in survival mode.
Inside these short, powerful episodes we explore:
• nervous system healing for women
• burnout and the hidden patterns of self-abandonment
• somatic practices for emotional regulation
• womb wisdom and feminine embodiment
• intuition, expansion, and sacred psychedelic medicine
You’ll also hear conversations with therapists, healers, coaches, and thought leaders exploring the messy, beautiful, and sometimes taboo ways women reclaim their embodied sovereign power.
This show isn’t about fixing yourself. It’s about remembering who the f*ck you are and learning how to trust your body again.
