Listen "Episode 31 - Dealing with Trauma"
Episode Synopsis
Send us a textTrauma doesn’t always scream. Sometimes, it whispers in sleepless nights, sudden mood swings or a nervous system that never really switches off.In this episode, I open up about my own experience with trauma, of how it crept into my life in ways I didn’t fully understand at the time. The anxiety, the depression, the moments of hypervigilance that made it hard to trust anyone or relax. The flashbacks, emotional outbursts and deep exhaustion that seemed to come from nowhere… it was my body and mind trying to keep me safe.I talk honestly about what those signs looked like for me, the physical and emotional toll it took and what helped me start to cope, process and eventually, begin to heal.For me, the allopathic route of medication didn’t feel aligned. That doesn’t mean it’s wrong, it just means we all deserve options. I chose a more holistic path, leaning into modalities like breathwork, meditation, hypnosis and other nervous system regulating tools. I didn’t just want to mask the pain, I wanted to understand it and work through it.Healing isn’t about being “fixed.” It’s not about being 100% okay all the time. It’s a life-long journey of choosing to meet yourself with compassion every single day. Some days I’m thriving while others I’m just getting through. But I no longer choose to suffer in silence. I live a life I have created and a life I now love.If you’ve experienced trauma (recent or past) I hope this episode reminds you that you’re not broken and you’re definitely not alone. Tune in now and let’s walk this healing path together, one breath, one moment, one choice at a time.Support the showThanks for listening in!
