*Formerly the Business Baddies Podcast & The Glow Up Season Podcast* Asia & Alchemy: A podcast about transformation, healing, and the courage to become your fullest, most authentic and liberated self. Asia & Alchemy is a space for real, raw, and honest storytelling — the kind that reminds you that you're not alone, and that nothing you've lived through was wasted. Hosted by Asia Camacho Hilario, Self-Love Coach, international keynote speaker, and Founder of Sagan Flores (the CNMI's first holistic mental health nonprofit) this podcast explores what it truly means to alchemize pain into wisdom, fear into courage, and survival into self-trust. As an Indigenous daughter of the Northern Mariana Islands and a half-Filipino woman, Asia brings a deeply personal and culturally rooted lens to healing. After surviving severe childhood abuse and healing her own depression, anxiety, and cPTSD through holistic modalities, she devoted her life to expanding access to alternative healing, emotional wellness, and mind–body–spirit liberation — both in her community and beyond. Each episode weaves together lived experience, trauma-informed insight, and soul-level reflection. You'll hear Asia's personal stories of heartbreak, growth, grief, and expansion, alongside conversations with inspiring guests who embody resilience, embodiment, and aligned living. This is not about perfection or having all the answers — it's about walking the path together. Rooted in themes of trauma healing, epigenetics, subconscious rewiring, and self-love, Asia & Alchemy honors the truth that while we may inherit pain, we also inherit the power to transform it. Why "Alchemy"? Because alchemy is the sacred process of transformation. It's not bypassing the hard parts — it's letting them shape you into someone more grounded, embodied, and free. If you're here, you're already part of the alchemy. Note: This podcast was formerly known as The Glow Up Season Podcast and Business Baddies Podcast. If you scroll back to episodes released before December 28 and notice a different intro — that's why. Welcome home.

Permission to Pause: Where I've been, What I'm grieving, and Honoring the season I'm in
It's been a few months, and I'm finally back! 🥳 In this shorter episode, I'm sharing where I've been, the (plentyyyy of) grief I've been navigating, and what life has looked like behind the scenes. I talk about trying to balance work, purpose, and everyday life while moving through one of the hardest seasons I've experienced. This is just an honest conversation about what this chapter has been teaching me and a little glimpse into what's been on my heart.

[Part 2] Painted as the Villain: Friendship Breakups, Grief, Inner Child Wounds & Emotional Alchemy with Tati Owens
In this intimate two-part series, I sit down with former client and dear friend, Tati, for an honest conversation about friendship breakups- the kind that don't get talked about enough, but leave a deep imprint. Together, we unpack the inner child wounds that get activated, the emotional weight of being painted as the villain, and the grief that comes with losing someone you once felt safe with. We also explore what it really means to move through your "villain era" with self-awareness, compassion, and accountability. Inside this series, we dive into processing pain, navigating complex emotions, and understanding the deeper layers beneath conflict and disconnection. You'll also walk away with tangible tools to support your healing, regulate your nervous system, and rebuild a stronger relationship with yourself. About Tati: Tati is a true multi-hyphenate and trailblazer. She is a California-licensed attorney, rebirth visionary, founder of Renacida, writer, public speaker, wife, and mom- and she brings a powerful, lived perspective into every space she enters. She is half Mexican and half African American, and as a first-generation attorney, her work is deeply rooted in lineage, liberation, and reclamation. With a background spanning both civil and criminal law, she understands systems from the inside-while simultaneously guiding women through profound personal rebirth outside of them. She has coached a broad and diverse group of women and leads a growing community for mothers called Multi-Dimensional Mama, has spoken on multiple panels and conferences, and continues to blaze trails in every room she enters- professionally, creatively, and personally.

Embodied Courage: My Return to Dance & Being Okay with Starting Over
In this episode, I share: What it's been like to return to dance as a beginner How childhood trauma wired me to be hyper-vigilant about making mistakes The fear response that gets activated when I feel "behind" or not good enough The real-time reframe I practiced while dancing and failing Replacing self-criticism with self-kindness Why doing scary things on purpose builds grounded confidence What I've gained from letting myself be seen while still learning This conversation is about choosing growth over image, embodiment over perfection, and joy over control. If you've been craving expansion but feel afraid to start from zero, this episode will meet you there. - Thank You Next Level Course: www.asiahilario.com/course Bay Area Couples Retreat July 17-19 2026 https://www.asiahilario.com/retreat My email list: https://welcoming-union-712.myflodesk.com/xfeesxdy61 FREE release shame meditation: https://welcoming-union-712.myflodesk.com/mdthexhd06 FREE cord cutting meditation: https://welcoming-union-712.myflodesk.com/pltqap92n8 My website: https://www.asiahilario.com Book a free self love coaching call: https://calendly.com/asiahilario/selfloveconsult (I have a 6-month self-love coaching program, you can read about it here: https://www.asiahilario.com/self-love) My Substack (first blog post in 7 years!).

Sabotaging My Goals Because I was Afraid of Loss (My Goals Course is open enrollment this week & only this week!)
Sabotaging My Goals Because I Was Afraid of Loss (My Follow-Through Formula for Goals enrollment is open this week only!) In this episode, I talk about how I was sabotaging my own goals—not because I didn't want them, but because I was afraid of the loss that came with growth. I break down: Why fear around goals is normal and valid How fear of loss, grief, and change can show up as procrastination, inconsistency, or pulling back My personal experience with avoiding follow-through because I didn't want to shed people, identities, or stability The shift I made to move through fear instead of letting it stop me If you've ever found yourself starting strong and then losing momentum, this episode will help you understand what's actually happening beneath the surface and how to respond differently. My upcoming course: The Follow-Through Formula is a four-part mini-course for anyone ready to finally see their most meaningful goals through from start to finish. Through nervous system work, inner child healing, and epigenetic rewiring, it helps you release the DEEP subconscious patterns that hold you back and build lasting grit. By the end, you'll move forward with clarity, confidence, and the ability to consistently follow through on what truly matters to you Enrollment is open this week only (January 28th - Feb 1)!

8 Pains I Transmuted in 2025 | Official 1st episode of the rebrand
This year stretched me in ways I didn't expect. There was loss, grief, and endings I didn't see coming. This is the official first episode of the Asia & Alchemy (podcast) rebrand, and it's one of the most honest conversations I've shared to date! In this episode, I talk about: • The 8 pains I transmuted this year • Clean pain vs dirty pain (and why suffering in life is optional) • What transmutation actually looks like in real life • Why letting go can be an act of self-trust, not failure Tune in! Also: *Enrollment opens January 28th* The Follow Through Formula (my deepest subconscious-rewiring course yet) for anyone who's tired of setting goals their nervous system can't hold. Yes- the lack of follow through is a nervous system problem- NOT a capability problem. This course will be a course to actually follow through with your New Years goals for the long-haul!

Healing My Relationship with My Mom Part 3: Healing through Reparenting
Healing My Relationship with My Mom Part 3: Healing through Reparenting "Every time I choose to protect myself, speak my truth, and feel my feelings—I'm becoming the mother I always needed." In this powerful final episode of the Healing My Relationship with My Mom series, I dig deep into the transformative process of reparenting your inner child, the essential (and most freeing) step in healing generational wounds, even if your mom never apologizes or changes. I share the exact tools and practices that helped me create emotional safety, set unshakable boundaries, and build self-trust after a childhood filled with silence, abandonment, and survival mode. Furthermore, this isn't about fixing your mom, it's about reclaiming your power, breaking cycles, and becoming the parent you always needed. Whether you're navigating complex family dynamics, struggling with people-pleasing, or yearning for healthy relationships, this conversation will help you understand reparenting as a daily act of self-love, not a one-time event. If you're ready to stop searching for validation outside yourself and start healing from within- let's get into it! Episode Highlights: What reparenting really is (and what it's not) How reparenting helped me build self-trust and emotional stability The four core aspects of reparenting The four core wounds I had to reparent How cultural and generational trauma shaped my mother's parenting What forgiveness really looks like (hint: it's for you) My personal reflection on living in Saipan and understanding my mom through a new lens ---------- One-on-one Coaching Apply to work with me in my 6-month private, one-on-one coaching container for entrepreneurs wanting to elevate their business or if you wanna start a passion project (podcast, blog, academy, business, etc) (more details in the application): https://form.jotform.com/251211114809042 FREE DOWNLOADS: BIZBaddies Broadcast: Free telegram channel for business owners - tips, mini-trainings, inspo, so much more!

Healing My Relationship with My Mom Series Part 2: Unpacking Resentment
Healing My Relationship with My Mom Part 2: Unpacking Resentment This is hands down one of the most raw episodes I've ever released. At one point while recording, I actually paused and asked myself, "Do I really wanna go there?" And the answer was: yes. Because this is my truth—and if you've ever felt resentment toward your mom or held onto unspoken anger, this episode is for you. Inside this conversation I unpack: What resentment really is and why it's often misunderstood The ways it showed up in my life and body The unspoken truths I held growing up What I learned about anger, forgiveness, and emotional safety How I learned to process resentment in non-destructive ways (because ya girl used to fist fight people ) And finally, I offer you some reflective journal prompts to meet your own resentment with compassion instead of shame This episode isn't about blaming, it's about validating the parts of you that never felt seen or heard. Let this be an invitation to explore your truth, even if it's messy.
