From Foster Care to Healer: Felicia Maries Story of Trauma, Ayahuasca & Reinvention [7p4ET45ajUG]
Hypnotherapist Felicia Marie opens up about childhood trauma, addiction, an abusive marriage, and the wake-up call that changed everything. In this raw Thrive Hive Show conversation, she shares how sacred medicine and subconscious reprogramming helped her rebuild her life from the ground up. On this episode of the Thrive Hive Show, Azaya & Revan sit down with Felicia Marie — a hypnotherapist, mindset coach, and sacred medicine facilitator — for an unfiltered conversation about surviving childhood poverty, sexual abuse, addiction, and an abusive marriage, and the pivotal moment that forced her to choose a different path. Felicia shares her journey through foster care, early motherhood, a near-death experience, and her daughter's own mental health crisis — and how nearly a decade of intentional inner work, subconscious reprogramming, and ceremonial sacred medicine work helped her step into an entirely new identity. This conversation covers human design, manifestation, the real integration work behind plant medicine ceremonies, and what it actually takes to build a life — and a business — from a place of healing rather than survival. This episode touches on heavy material, including childhood abuse and a mental health crisis, shared with the intention of helping others feel less alone in their own healing journey — in line with Thrive Hive's mission: heal, grow, thrive.
