EmpowereD with Deanna Merlino

Welcome back to another episode of EmpowereD with Deanna Merlino.

This is Part 2 of my four-part conversation with my dear friend, Casey, and today we're diving into one of my favorite topics: identity.

Because the truth is... every season of expansion asks us to become someone new.

In this conversation, we're talking about what it actually looks like to move through life's portal moments - the seasons that crack you open, challenge everything you thought you knew, and ultimately invite you into a new version of yourself.

We share our own experiences with grief, loss, forgiveness, boundaries, faith, and the healing that comes from allowing yourself to fully feel what you're moving through instead of trying to bypass it.

Because healing isn't about pretending everything is okay.

It's about having the courage to face what's true, release what no longer serves you, and trust that every challenge is expanding your capacity for more.

If you've been navigating change, questioning who you're becoming, or feeling like life is asking you to let go of an old version of yourself, I think this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

My hope is that this episode reminds you that nothing happening to you is without purpose.

Everything is inviting you deeper into who you were always meant to become.

Let's dive in!

What is EmpowereD with Deanna Merlino?

Welcome to The EmpowereD Podcast.

I’m Deanna Merlino - intuitive mentor, energetics practitioner, retreat host, and multi six-figure entrepreneur. This show is a space where we explore the deeper layers of personal power, energetic leadership, and aligned success.

Here we talk about manifestation, energetics, nervous system regulation, spirituality, universal laws, business, and embodiment - not just from theory, but from lived experience and deep inner work.

After leaving the corporate world, and deciding to make a name for myself in the fitness industry, profound personal loss led me into a deep journey of healing, self-discovery, and spiritual study. I became trained in trauma-informed coaching, somatic healing, many forms of master level energy healing & utilizing tools like Human Design, astrology, NLP and many more, as I searched for deeper truth and alignment in my own life.

Since then, I’ve built multiple six-figure businesses, served thousands of students and clients, and hosted many transformative retreats designed to help people reconnect with their power and create lives that feel deeply aligned.

On this podcast, I share the insights, revelations, and energetic shifts that help you see your life, your power, and your potential more clearly.

If you know you’re here for more - more truth, more freedom, more expansion - you’re in the right place.

And with roughly 150 episodes and counting, get ready to think bigger, see deeper, and embody the next level of exactly who you came here to become.
