The Truth About Shame, Rage & Healing: A Heart-Centered Conversation with Andrea Owen

Welcome to The Dana Grant Show, where heart-centered stories, authentic connections, real talk, and real action come together. This week, I am honored to sit down with Andrea Owen—three-time bestselling author, speaker, and coach, known for her powerful books 52 Ways to Live a Kick-Ass Life, How to Stop Feeling Like Sht*, and Make Some Noise.

Andrea brings her signature blend of honesty, humor, and depth to this heart-centered conversation as we unpack the emotional wounds so many of us carry—grief, shame, terror, and rage—and explore how facing them can lead us to our most powerful selves.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• The four “holy emotions” that are portals to personal power: shame, grief, terror, and rage

• Andrea’s journey through sobriety, emotional healing, and personal transformation

• How unresolved emotions affect relationships and why healing your past is the path forward

• Why shame is often the hidden driver behind people-pleasing, perfectionism, and overachievement

• The truth about anxiety—and how psychedelic therapy, including ketamine, helped Andrea release trauma that traditional talk therapy couldn’t

• Practical tools and compassionate insight for navigating grief, emotional regulation, and self-forgiveness

• What it really means to surrender, detach, and love fiercely while holding loosely

• Why midlife can be the awakening we didn’t know we needed

Andrea’s vulnerability and wisdom invite you to see your emotions not as flaws, but as sacred guides. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed by your feelings, stuck in a pattern you can’t break, or just ready to step into deeper emotional freedom—this episode is for you.
