Interrupted: Act 2 Reinventing Your Legacy

190|What If Healing Could Be This Simple? Sound Therapy, Humming, & Maybe some Skipping

What if healing didn’t have to be complicated—and your body already knew what to do?
In this uplifting episode of Interrupted: Act 2 Reinventing Your Legacy, I sit down with sound therapist SueZee Finley to explore healing through sound, energy, and simple daily practices that reconnect you to yourself.
SueZee shares her personal journey with lupus, caregiving, and the path that led her to sound therapy. We talk about how chronic stress and putting others first can take a toll—and how gentle practices like humming, sound frequencies, movement, and even skipping can support healing in powerful ways.
This conversation is a reminder that healing doesn’t always come from doing more—but from tuning in.
If you’re navigating caregiving, chronic illness, stress, or simply feeling disconnected from your body, this episode will open your eyes to a different, more intuitive way forward.
