<![CDATA[Worthy & Rewritten]]>Reinvention, Entrepreneurship, and What Happens When You Wake Up Your Worth

Welcome to Worthy & Rewritten — the podcast where we dive into the messy middle of transformation and what it really takes to reclaim your life.

Hosted by DeAnna Crawford — therapist, keynote speaker, and serial entrepreneur — this show is for the person who's done playing small, done waiting for permission, and ready to trust the gut instinct that brought them here.

What we talk about:

  • Reinvention at any age (because you're never too late)
  • Building businesses rooted in worth, not hustle
  • Trusting your gut when your mind is afraid to admit the truth
  • Leaving jobs, relationships, and identities that no longer fit
  • The frameworks that turn clarity into action
  • Real stories of people who've gone from stuck to unstoppable

This podcast is for you if:

  • You're stuck in work that drains you
  • You're building something but playing too small
  • You've been ignoring your gut and you're ready to trust it
  • You know there's more for you but don't know how to get there
  • You're done waiting for the "right time" and ready to act now

DeAnna's story? She went from bankruptcy, 114 pounds, and being told she'd never make it to building two successful companies and helping hundreds of clients do the same. Her mission is simple: help people wake their worth and build careers that fuel their souls and their bank accounts.

This is where we stop shrinking and start building.

If your gut has been whispering that there's more for you — you're in the right place.

After surviving narcissistic abuse and childhood trauma, Chris awakened her psychic abilities and learned to read chakras, recognizing patterns of abuse written in blocked energy centers.

Chris breaks down the chakra system from root to crown, explaining how specific traumas manifest as blocked energy and physical symptoms. She shares how the solar plexus chakra holds personal power (and how narcissists systematically drain it), how the heart chakra carries inner child wounds, and why understanding these connections is critical to healing.

She talks about her work reading energy remotely, helping clients see the blocks they couldn't see on their own, and guiding them toward energetic freedom.

But this episode goes deeper than theory. Chris shares her personal journey, the estrangement from toxic family members, the layered grief of that decision, and the peace that came with detachment and boundaries. She reframes triggers as activations and opportunities for growth, explaining why those who've survived narcissistic abuse experience them so intensely and why learning to bless your nervous system is revolutionary.

In this deeply honest episode, Mia Hanks shares her story of surviving a narcissistic marriage and the years it took to realize what was happening to her. Mia talks about the early red flags she overlooked (lack of empathy, constant comparison, moving goalposts), how emotional abuse subtly eroded her self-worth over years, and the devastating impact of the silent treatment as a weapon of control.

Mia doesn't sugarcoat the reality of narcissistic abuse. She talks about gaslighting and how it made her question her own reality, the moment she realized her husband's indifference during her illness wasn't normal, and the facade of empathy that protected his image while destroying hers. She shares how therapy and external support helped her recognize what she couldn't see on her own, and the practical steps she took to safely exit the marriage.

But this isn't just a story of survival, it's a story of reclamation. Mia talks about the healing journey of rediscovering self-love, rebuilding her identity after years of being told she wasn't enough, and why she wrote her memoir to help others recognize the signs earlier than she did.

This episode is packed with education, validation, and hope for anyone currently navigating or recovering from narcissistic abuse.

Sound Bites:

  • "I was never enough — no matter what I did, the goalposts moved."
  • "The silent treatment wasn't just cold — it was control."
  • "You're not crazy. You're being gaslit."

In this honest and empowering episode, Naomi Kreske shares her journey through what she calls the "Hot Mess Express", the upheaval of marriage, divorce, infidelity, and survival mode that left her wondering who she was without the roles she'd been playing.

But instead of staying stuck, Naomi used that moment as her catalyst for transformation.

Naomi talks about the role intuition and self-awareness played in her healing, how she restored her worth after betrayal shattered her sense of self, and the impact Brené Brown's teachings on shame and vulnerability had on her journey.

She shares practical steps for life redirection (including how to edit out what no longer serves you), how to reconnect with your authentic self during chaos, and the mindset shifts that changed everything.

This episode is for anyone standing in the wreckage of what was, wondering who they are now, and ready to turn their pain into purpose.

In this profound episode, Sarah Dawkins shares her journey from 20+ year registered nurse to holistic healing coach and the internal crisis that led her there. Raised in the medical model, Sarah only knew doctors, pills, and hospitals. But when a colleague challenged her pharmaceutical use, Sarah started researching and discovered the mind-body connection that changed everything.

Sarah healed herself of chronic pain, Candida, bulimia, PTSD, underactive thyroid, adrenal burnout, and depression with suicidal thoughts, not through medication, but by addressing the root cause through her four pillars: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual.

The more she healed, the more she realized she couldn't stay in the hospital. She was learning what patients needed, but wasn't allowed to share it.

Sarah talks about the terrifying transition from nurse to entrepreneur (while keeping her license), the two-year journey to surrender her nursing identity, and what freedom felt like when she finally let go. She shares the metaphysical messages behind chronic pain (low back = financial insecurity, shoulders = carrying the world), why healing requires love not hate, and how beliefs guide your healing more than you think.

This episode is packed with healing stories (including people who healed ALS and MS), practical guidance on beginning your healing journey, and encouragement for anyone feeling stuck in a career or suffering from chronic symptoms.

Most people would be destroyed by even one of these experiences. Melissa survived all of them, and turned her pain into a mission to help others heal.

Melissa doesn't sugarcoat the reality of trauma. She talks about the chaos of the school shooting, the years of self-blame and mental health struggles that followed, the moment she thought she couldn't go on, and the layered healing process that brought her back to life. She shares how therapy, EMDR, somatic work, nervous system regulation, and spiritual growth helped her process what felt unprocessable.

But this isn't just a story of survival, it's a story of transformation. Melissa talks about recognizing patterns, allowing yourself to feel emotions instead of suppressing them, and why her nursing background shaped her purpose as a holistic trauma and anxiety coach.

In this eye-opening episode, Dr. Aaron Chapa, functional medicine practitioner with over 20 years of experience breaks down why modern medicine misses the mark by treating symptoms instead of root causes.

He explains how your body's "check engine lights" are trying to tell you something, and why suppressing symptoms with medication only makes things worse in the long run.

Dr. Chapa shares the power of epigenetics (your genes are not your destiny), the Pottinger Cat Studies that prove how quickly health can shift across generations, and why small, consistent lifestyle changes create lasting transformation. He talks about the role of food as medicine, how to retrain your palate and your kids' palates, the critical importance of gut health and detoxification, and why healing doesn't have to be overwhelming, it just has to be consistent.

This episode is packed with practical, actionable strategies for anyone tired of pills that don't solve the problem, ready to understand what their body is really saying, and willing to make gradual changes that lead to real, lasting health.

In this inspiring and honest episode, Leesa Beeson shares her story of reinventing herself four times and why she's not done yet.

From corporate marketing executive to flight attendant to COVID-era founder of Wanderlust Stuff, Leesa's journey is proof that you don't have to stick to one identity your whole life.

Leesa talks about what it was like to lose her job during the pandemic after 13 years as a flight attendant, how she turned her love for travel and marketing experience into an e-commerce business, and the terrifying moment she pitched her idea to get into an entrepreneur acceleration program.

She shares the emotional rollercoaster of starting a business, the lows, the highs, and why riding the wave is the only way through.

This episode is packed with practical advice: why mentorship is everything, how to build while you learn, and why 97% of e-commerce stores fail (and how to beat those odds).

Leesa doesn't sugarcoat entrepreneurship, she talks about the loneliness, the fear, and the moments when she questioned everything. But she also shares why reinventing at 50 was the best decision she ever made.

In this honest and inspiring episode, April Weygand shares her story of walking away from teaching, the career she'd wanted since second grade and into a life of reinvention, resilience, and radical trust.

From sitting in her car dreading work to accidentally building a cleaning empire to writing a book called Trail Gimp, April's journey is proof that you don't have to have it all figured out to take the leap.

April talks about the five-minute conversation she had with herself in the car that changed everything, how she accidentally started a cleaning business that grew into a 20-year career, and what happened when the pandemic burned her out so badly she knew it was time to sell.

She shares how two random friends asking about her writing led to a published book, how listening to the whispers turned into a keynote speaking career, and why it's okay to change your mind — even if it goes against everything you were told you "should" do.

This episode is for anyone who's ever felt stuck in a career they worked hard for, dreaded going to work, or wondered if it's too late to start over. April will remind you that your life is yours to create, and you don't need permission to rewrite it.

Katherine Eriksen spent 10 years building a company from the ground up. She poured her heart, soul, and countless hours into an organization she believed would be her forever home. She grew the team, built deep relationships globally, and saw herself retiring there.

And then the company was sold. Her role became redundant. And at 50 years old, Katherine was laid off.

Most people would have panicked. Katherine did something different. She listened to her gut — the one that had been whispering for years that maybe it was time to build something of her own. She turned down a perfect-on-paper corporate job offer and launched Cat and Mouse Recruitment instead.

In this episode, Katherine shares what it was like to lose her identity when she lost her job, the moment she knew she had to take the leap, and how she built a business rooted in relationships, flexibility, and creative freedom. She talks about the loneliness of entrepreneurship, the importance of community, and why trusting your intuition over your intellect might be the best business decision you ever make.

Nicola Zacher was born with no soft spot in her brain. Medical professionals predicted she'd face significant limitations. But Nicola's father had a different plan: unconditional love, unwavering belief, and a refusal to let anyone else define his daughter's potential.

Today, Nicola is thriving — not in spite of her challenges, but because of what they taught her about resilience, self-love, and purpose. She's an author of seven children's books, a caregiver who's walked loved ones through dementia, and a woman who's learned some of life's greatest lessons from her dog, Marley.

In this deeply moving episode, Pam Robertson shares her story of survival — not once, but multiple times. From the depths of addiction to losing her brother, and then a stage four lung cancer diagnosis. Pam has been through more than most people can imagine.

But here's the thing: she's still here. And she's still fighting.

Pam doesn't sugarcoat the hard parts. She talks about numbing herself with substances while still being a "responsible" addict, the moment she knew she had to get help, and the excruciating process of detox and rebuilding trust with her children.

She shares the emotional weight of grief, and what it was like to hear the words "stage four lung cancer" after everything she'd already survived.

But this episode isn't about suffering — it's about resilience. Pam talks about how faith, community, mindset, and surrendering control have kept her alive and hopeful through treatments, brain metastases, and the mental battle of living with cancer.

She shares practical tools for protecting your nervous system, maintaining hope when your body is at war, and why believing in your healing matters more than you think.

In this uplifting and honest episode, Lindsay Malkinson shares what it was like to be diagnosed with autism at age 11 and how she's spent the last 16 years rewriting what that diagnosis means.

From the initial sadness and fear to becoming an advocate, entrepreneur, and inspiration for others on the spectrum, Lindsay's story is proof that mindset, community, and small daily practices can transform everything.

Lindsay doesn't pretend it's easy. She talks about the emotional aftermath of her diagnosis, navigating childhood with new limitations, and the comparison game that nearly broke her. But she also shares the tools that saved her: gratitude journals, uplifting music, her grandfather's unwavering positivity, and the mental wellness business she built to support herself and others.

This episode is for anyone who's ever felt overwhelmed, stuck, or like their diagnosis (autism or otherwise) was writing their story for them. Lindsay shows us that resilience isn't about never struggling, it's about choosing small steps, celebrating progress, and building a community that reminds you you're not alone.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • What it was like to be diagnosed with autism at 11 and the emotional journey that followed
  • How her mindset shifted from "poor me" to "how can I inspire others?"
  • Daily practices Lindsay uses to stay motivated: gratitude, music, and small achievable goals
  • How she manages overwhelm and the days when motivation just isn't there
  • The comparison trap and how she learned to focus on her own progress
  • Building supportive online communities for others on the autism spectrum

If you've ever felt defined by a diagnosis, overwhelmed by life, or wondered how to keep going when everything feels hard — this episode is for you.

In this episode, Jess Wilson takes us through her winding career journey from holistic nutritionist to RCMP dispatcher to finance professional — and shares the raw truth about what it takes to pivot, burn out, rebuild, and own your life.

Jess doesn't sugarcoat it. She talks about applying for police forces over and over despite rejection, working in high-trauma dispatch and ignoring the warning signs of burnout, and the moment she realized her nervous system was screaming for her to stop.

But this isn't a cautionary tale — it's a story of radical ownership, resilience, and what happens when you finally trust yourself enough to change everything.

Now thriving in finance, Jess shares the practical mindset shifts, self-audit strategies, and environmental changes that helped her pull herself out of the darkness and build a life that actually feels like hers.


In this episode, we talk about:

  • The "Burnt Toast Theory" — why rejection is often protection in disguise

In this deeply vulnerable episode, Debbie Korver shares her journey of healing from adoption trauma and childhood abuse — wounds she didn't fully understand until adulthood.

Adopted as a child and raised in an abusive environment, Debbie spent decades believing she wasn't worthy of love, that she had to earn her place, and that her needs didn't matter.

But Debbie's story doesn't end there. Through traditional therapy, EMDR, inner child work, and transformative psychedelic experiences, she confronted the deep-rooted pain of being told she was adopted, the abuse she endured, and the people-pleasing patterns that followed her into adulthood.

This episode is raw, honest, and full of hope. Debbie doesn't sugarcoat the hard parts, she talks about what it's really like to carry adoption trauma, how childhood abuse shaped her sense of self, and the long road to learning self-love and boundaries.

If you've ever wondered whether adoption causes trauma, how to heal from childhood abuse as an adult, or if it's possible to forgive yourself and your past — this conversation will move you.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • The hidden impact of adoption trauma and why it's often dismissed
  • How childhood abuse shaped Debbie's beliefs about worthiness and belonging
  • Why being told about her adoption became a defining traumatic memory
  • How EMDR helped her reprocess the moment she learned she was adopted
  • The role of inner child work in healing adoption wounds and abuse
  • Practical advice for anyone beginning their healing journey from adoption or abuse

In this raw and powerful episode, Pamela Lynch opens up about surviving two decades with a narcissist — and the moment of rage that finally set her free.

She was $308,000 in debt. She had no sense of self. She felt like a shell of the woman she used to be. But when her husband walked out, something unexpected happened: she found freedom.

Pamela shares the brutal reality of emotional and financial abuse, the shame that kept her silent, and the gradual erosion of self-worth that happens when you're trying to survive a relationship that's slowly erasing you. But this isn't just a story of survival — it's a story of reclaiming your voice, rebuilding your life, and helping others do the same.

Now, Pamela helps women write and publish their stories — because telling your truth is how you heal. 

In this episode, we talk about:

  • What narcissism really looks like in a long-term relationship
  • The difference between guilt and shame (and why shame keeps you stuck)
  • How emotional abuse chips away at your identity without you even realizing it
  • The financial manipulation that left her $308,000 in debt
  • The moment she "lost her mind" — and why that rage saved her life
  • How she rebuilt herself after he left
  • Why writing your story is one of the most powerful acts of healing

If you've ever felt like a shell of yourself, stayed too long, or wondered if you'll ever feel whole again — this episode is for you.
