From Trauma to Light: Zoe E. Fox on Healing, Energy and Starting Again
Episode Overview
- Giving yourself grace and acknowledging the path you’ve walked can be a powerful first step when you feel lost or overwhelmed.
- Writing or other forms of expression help separate who you are from what you’re carrying, making heavy emotions easier to work with.
- Zoe’s three-stage process — Exhale, Activate, Expand — starts with releasing what isn’t yours, then understanding your energy, and finally embodying your potential.
- Following curiosity and what quietly excites you can reveal the next steps on your spiritual and healing journey.
- Even in very dark moments, asking what an experience might be teaching you can shift your perspective and open up new possibilities.
“Sometimes life throws really hard stuff at us, and it can be painful, and it’s not about bypassing that pain, but it’s about starting to ask the questions.”
Curious about how others manage co-occurring emotional, spiritual and physical challenges on their healing journey? This conversation between Feng Shui consultant and Chinese astrologer Janine Lowe and guest Zoe E. Fox offers a raw, honest look at how pain can be turned into purpose.
Zoe, an author, transformational guide and energy worker, talks through the major turning points in her life: witnessing her boyfriend’s sudden death at 18, years of depression, PTSD and anxiety, a toxic relationship, infertility and IVF, a traumatic birth, and then a spinal cord injury that left her disabled just before the pandemic.
She explains how these experiences pushed her to a point where, in her words, she "wanted to cease to exist within the experience" – and how one therapist’s challenge to a deeply held belief cracked open the first shaft of light. From there, you’ll hear how counselling, spiritual enquiry and deep stillness shifted her from living in fear to feeling "truly alive from the inside".
A key turning point came as she sat at her window, in pain, looking at the trees and receiving a sense of life’s "seasons and cycles" and the possibility that she would bloom again.
Zoe shares practical ideas from her book *Activate Your Light*, built around three stages: "Exhale" (releasing what isn’t yours to carry), "Activate" (understanding yourself as an energetic being, including heart, chakras and subtle senses) and "Expand" (embodying this knowledge, stepping beyond your comfort zone and finding aligned community). She offers simple starting points for anyone feeling lost: give yourself grace, write things down to see what you’re carrying, follow curiosity and reconnect with your own inner wisdom.
If you’re sitting with grief, trauma or feeling stuck, this gentle yet powerful story might help you ask: what could my pain be trying to teach me?
