🎙 The Raw Onion is a psychology-driven podcast that peels back the layers beneath burnout, epigenetic inheritance, perfectionism, subconscious stress patterns and life’s crossroads that shape who we become. Each episode blends science, storytelling, culture, and real-life conversations about how these topics translate into your working, personal and family life to help you understand who you are, who you want to become, why you overwork, overthink, or feel stuck and how to break the patterns running your life. 

Behind the core theme of “peeling back the layers” of life, host Stephanie Ohannesian and producer Yoshie Barnett understand that without somatic integration, none of the above is possible. The beginning and end of any wellness journey must reside within the mind AND body; we are nothing if we’re not somatically secure. The Raw Onion offers not only the tools, but honors the ancient traditions of listening to where the pain lives, where the stories are stored, how the body and brain change at different chapters in life, and highlights what power we as individuals have when we take the time to tend to ourselves as one beautifully architected machine; driven by history, humility and humanity in the most holistic ways possible. Just like an onion, peeling back may make you cry, but the best parts in life are when you understand why.
