S13e10: Jennifer Johnson – Let the Family Skeletons Dance
“A lot of the women in my family were silenced. …I know in my heart that speaking my truth now…is to take those skeletons out of the closet and let them dance.” – Jennifer Johnson Writer, artist, seeker, and Hoffman Process grad, Jennifer Johnson grew up speaking the language of the arts. She sees the world with wonder, curiosity, and eternal optimism. Before taking the Process, Jennifer wrote about her patterns, studying each like an archaeological dig. She worked hard to escape them, but couldn’t stop acting them out. Exasperated that they followed her everywhere, she realized awareness and understanding weren’t enough. She reached out to trusted people for help. One astute friend told her that, at that point in Jennifer’s healing, the one thing that would help was the Hoffman Process. Young Jenny After completing Hoffman Essentials, Jennifer was excited to begin her Process in Canada. Diving deep into the Process‘s healing power, Jennifer was willing to feel the full range of her emotions. The Process pushed her into places she needed to go to access places she needed to heal. She navigated unknown territory, enabling deep healing of her family of origin. Jennifer shares that ancestrally, many women in her family were silenced. She found that the antidote to this wound is to live as an empowered truth-sayer. Speaking her truth allows the family skeletons to dance. For Jennifer, this is healing the original ancestral and familial wounds. Post-Process, Jennifer now sees how she tried to get to the roots of her family patterns through digging and analyzing. Instead, the Process guided her to see these roots from a place of Spirit, and to have compassion for where they originated. Healing brought compassion, empathy, and acceptance of where she came from and who she is. Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spo

S13e9: Martin Rutte – A Life Beyond What You Believe is Possible
“Hoffman is another place where truth resides, emerges deeper, and allows itself to flourish more in the world, in our world.” – Martin Rutte International speaker, author, management consultant, and Hoffman Process grad Martin Rutte has lived a life rooted in knowing, on a deeper level, that we can achieve beyond what we believe is possible. In this powerful conversation with Sadie, Martin shares how his life of vision and purpose unfolded with each step taken. As Sadie highlights, the conversation circles the place where Spirit, truth, and an ‘already knowing‘ within each of us meet in something unnameable. This conversation guides us in how to embody and live this in the world. Martin grew up in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Historically known as Canada’s industrial “Steeltown,” Martin shares that Hamilton had a conservative culture when he was young. At ten, he heard a message from within that set him on his life’s path: “You’re here to change the world.” He felt it was true, and didn’t know what it meant. No one around him spoke of vision or purpose, yet deep inside, he knew he would live a life of purpose. Throughout his life, Martin met people who shared things he knew to be true within. These moments of truth guided him tow

S13e8: Lecia King – It’s Okay to Be Happy
“It is possible to change. You don’t have to repeat all of those patterns. …You’re going to be happy, and it’s okay to be happy.” – Lecia King During the Hoffman Process, therapist Lecia King found herself feeling settled, and learning that this ‘settledness’ is a quality of being of her Spiritual Self. Through the power of the Process, Lecia began to transform the pain of her past into a deep-seated connection to who she really is. Years later, now both a seasoned therapist and Hoffman Process teacher, this settledness is omnipresent in Lecia’s life as she lives more and more from her Spiritual Self. You’ll feel and hear it in this conversation with host Sadie. You’ll also sense a quiet joy in Lecia. Challenge and change run through Lecia’s life story. She experienced a “very chaotic upbringing.” She realized early on that she would have to create a stable life for herself as an adult. Lecia grieved for the child within her that never knew stability. And her adult self has done just that: created a stable life. In her twenties, Lecia bought her first home, determined never to be uprooted from home again. She did healing work around her eating disorders and past family dysfunction. She found healing in a women’s nature circle where she spent time fasting and in nature. Lecia’s life story reflects a quiet persistence as she moved into adulthood and motherhood, and now moves into an empty nest filled with joy. It is inspirational to witness someone who has met life’s challenges and, through them, come to know and love herself. In teaching the Hoffman Process, Lecia now holds space for others to transform and create lasting change in their lives. In sharing her story here, Lecia offers us an existential possibility of hope and joy. We can transform the pain of our past into a life lived as who we really are. We get to be happy. We hope you savor this inspiring conversation with Lecia and Sadie.

S13e7: Sonia Choquette – An Experience of Myself Unlike I’ve Ever Had
.”This is the most creative thing I’ve ever experienced. …I just thought this is so wonderful because I’m not being talked at. I am being engaged, and I am being invited into an experience of myself unlike I’ve ever had.” – Sonia Choquette Globally celebrated spiritual teacher, intuitive guide, author, and Hoffman Advisory Council member, Sonia Choquette, came to the Process guided by her intuition. Deeply connected to Spirit from a very young age, Sonia came to the Process for relational reasons. She’d noticed too many relationship “collisions” in her marriage. Her family had Holocaust patterns, while her husband had other traumatic familial patterns. She intuitively knew the Process could help. Sonia loved the Process. She found it the most creative thing she’d ever experienced, and her “soul loves creativity.” She especially loved that the Process engaged her and invited her into new experiences of herself she’d never known before. After her Process, Sonia became friends with Raz, Liza, and the Ingrasci family. She realized she shared an uncommon worldview with Raz. “We are energetic spirits; we are having a physical experience. Raz and I just got that. We spoke Spirit as much as we spoke English.” This conversation is brimming with spiritual guidance. Sonia has been teaching profound spiritual truths for over 50 years. She shares multiple tools to reconnect with your Spirit, drop from your head into your heart, and know if you’re speaking from your heart. The Hoffman Institute is grateful to Sonia for her many years of service through our Hoffman Advisory Council. We hope you enjoy this wise and very practical episode with Sonia and Sadie. https://youtu.be/PN1gAwrlF6w Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify More about Sonia Choquette: Sonia Choquette is a globally celebrated spiritual teacher, intuitive guide, and transformational author.

S13e6: Jessie Feng – Healing Generational Patterns in China
“You can see their eyes brighter, and they finally feel like, Oh, there’s a lot of possibility … to be authentic self. That’s so powerful and meaningful for me to see that happening in China.“ – Jessie Feng Master Certified Coach, Hoffman Process teacher, and Director of Faculty, Hoffman China, Jessie Feng joins Sadie for an inspiring conversation about growth, possibility, and healing generational patterns. Although Jessie completed her Process in early 2025, her Process story really begins in 2011. Her relationship with her daughter was strained, so Jessie began coaching training, sure the issue was with her daughter. Many of us think similarly, until we begin our own inner work. Through coaching training and the Process, Jessie underwent a profound transformation. Her awareness grew and sense of self clarified. Her understanding of relationships, and why and how we can struggle in them, did too. As an integral part of the new Hoffman Institute China, Jessie now teaches the Process in China. Very aware of the traditions between parents and children in her country, she shares how remarkable it is to witness her students realize that long-standing traditions passed down generation to generation are simply patterns. Limiting patterns that do not serve us can be transformed into healthy, freeing alternatives. Jessie explains how remarkable it is that her students now see possibility in their lives. They now realize they can be authentic in their lives and relationships. In doing so, they find compassion and love for themselves and their parents. This conversation helps illuminate how the Process works in diverse cultures globally. The Process supports each person in finding liberation from limitation and compassion for themselves and those who raised them. Today, Jessie and her daughter have a great relationship. We hope you enjoy this powerful conversation with Jessie and Sadie. Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify More about Jessie Feng: Jessie Feng is a Master Certified Coach (MCC).

S13e5: Natasia Schumacher – Life in Its Magnitude, in Seven Days
“The experience of the Process was life in full, in its magnitude, in seven days.” – Natasia Schumacher Professional Certified Coach, Certified Emotional Intelligence Practitioner, and athlete Natasia Schumacher arrived at White Sulphur Springs to take the Hoffman Process in 2018. She says, “I didn’t choose the Process; it chose me.” As Natasia poured over her Process homework, this question stopped her: “What is your relationship to spirituality?” Eight years ago, she had no idea what spirituality or spirit meant. Her response to the question? “None.” Looking back, Natasia saw that this was the first indicator of where the Process would lead her. In Natasia’s Process, she had a profound realization that who she thought she was has never been who she is. Her visceral experience of the Process felt like a turbulent storm: deeply uncomfortable, confronting, and exhausting, while also deeply loving. Natasia shares stories of the profound emotional, intellectual, somatic, and spiritual insights, epiphanies, and transformation during and after her Process. Many grads discover after the Process that even though they have changed, the people in their lives have not. For Natasia, this dynamic provided more opportunities to release patterns and deepen her sense of who she really is. She describes how she navigated this change with both her husband and mother. Natasia’s ability to articulate what happened is insightful and helpful information. She also found, post-Process, that she needed to connect with the parts of her who weren’t sober. Today, she has been sober for many years. Natasia speaks of and lives with love and reverence for her true self, her Spirit. As she says, her Spirit “is me.” We hope this articulate, insightful, deeply spiritual conversation inspires you. Follow Natasia on Instagram and LinkedIn.

S13e4: Kari Kuwahara – In Releasing My Pain, I Released My Mother
“Post-Process… I could see those things differently. I could see them from the bigger view. And I could also feel how good I felt and how proud I was of myself. I knew that I could trust myself.“ – Kari Kuwahara Kari Kuwahara came to the Hoffman Process knowing the timing was right. After a traumatic life event triggered old traumas and buried feelings, Kari was ready to do the deep work to heal her pain from her relationship with her mother. The Process offered her a way to resolve the pain of her past. Kari was ready for the freedom to come. Before we dive into emotional terrain, we often fear the power of the feelings we will meet and the unknown chaos we might encounter within. The Process’s cathartic work and safe environment supported Kari as she went deep into her inner world. Her teacher gave her loving guidance when he said, “We’ve got you.” As Kari describes, she realized that she wasn’t doing it alone and that there were “guardrails in place.” Through the expression work, she finally released her anger. Intense, overwhelming grief that had been buried under her anger then flooded in. Kari “was finally able to go there and just let it out.” She realized that this release was, in itself, what she’d been searching for. After the cathartic expression, Kari journaled. Reading a sentence she’d written back to herself, Kari reached a powerful understanding. Speaking about her mother, she’d written, “I can’t fathom the pain her anger wouldn’t let her feel.” In experiencing the depth of her own pain under her anger, Kari saw her mother. In seeing her mother, Kari saw herself. This is a profound example of the power in healing negative love. Through her courageous surrender to the Process, Kari found freedom from the pain of her past. We hope this powerful conversation with Kari and Drew moves and inspires you.

She is a chef focused on health-supportive cooking, a culinary event producer, and a retail program and project manager. Her path has never been entirely linear.

S13e3: Suha Patel – Reunited With All of Me
“Over the past few years, I’ve dug deeper into connecting with the universe, connecting with nature, knowing that I am supported by forces outside of me.” – Suha Patel Suha Patel arrived at the Hoffman Process eight years ago. Her mantra coming in was, “I want to know who I am. I want to love myself. I want to know what I want. And I want to be able to ask for it.” Over those seven days and the eight years since, Suha has worked hard to know the answers to her questions and live into what she has longed for. Suha as a child Suha spent the majority of her life in her head, problem-solving everything, including herself. But knowing and loving oneself requires more than intellect. During her Process, the Quadcheck, a Hoffman tool, helped Suha discover her whole self. She dove into her whole self when she discovered her Quadrinity: intellect, body, emotional self, and Spiritual Self. Suha describes coming to know a whole inner community within herself, including her dear inner child. When she talks about her inner child, her voice lights up with joy. By spending time with her inner child, she realized why she stayed small and hadn’t stood up for what she wanted. For Suha, one of the great gifts of taking the Process has been a deepened spirituality. Growing up in India, she’d never been to a temple or sought out God. At Hoffman, she connected to something greater than herself – the Universe, nature, and the spiritual forces that support her. By the end of her week at Hoffman, Suha realized the first item in her mantra: to know who she is. She found she knew herself in new and beautiful ways. Asking for what she wants has taken longer, but Suha is steadily working toward fulfilling her beautiful mantra. We hope you enjoy this joyful conversation with Suha and Sadie.
