What does it actually mean to be in your power? Because chances are… it’s not what you’ve been taught. In this first episode of my Reclaiming Your Power series, I’m breaking down what true power really is—and what it isn’t. For so long, I thought being “strong” meant keeping the peace, over-explaining myself, and making sure everyone else was comfortable… even if it meant abandoning myself. If you...

In this episode, I sit down with transformational educator and master course creator Stacey Nye , a dedicated teacher of The F.I.X. Code Technique — a powerful method designed to help people release subconscious blocks and create meaningful change in their lives. Stacey shares her journey from producing some of the world’s largest international sporting events, including multiple Olympic Games, to...

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with nervous system coach Mitch Webb to talk about the deep connection between burnout, trauma, and physical health. Mitch shares his personal healing journey after facing a series of serious health challenges, including toxic mold exposure, Lyme disease, traumatic brain injury, anxiety, childhood trauma, and a nervous system pushed far beyond its limits ....

In this solo episode, I talk about a truth that many people don’t realize: domestic violence isn’t always visible. It’s not just bruises, broken bones, or physical harm. At its core, abuse is about power and control — and it can exist even when no one ever raises a hand. I share how someone can create an environment of fear, instability, and emotional unsafety without ever being physically violent...

In this deeply moving and empowering conversation, I sit down with transformational healing and empowerment coach Vivian Moyo , founder of Moyo Wellness Therapy, to explore what it truly means to heal from trauma and reclaim your voice. Vivian shares her personal journey through childhood loss, shame, and emotional pain — experiences that once made her feel like “the invisible girl.” Through her h...

In this solo episode, I’m diving into something many of us do without even realizing it: self-invalidation . Have you ever told yourself you’re “overreacting,” minimized your own pain, pushed through exhaustion, or talked yourself out of your feelings because someone else had it worse? You’re not alone. So many of us learned—often in childhood or through trauma—that our needs, emotions, and experi...

How often do you say yes when your body is screaming no?  How often do you shrink, over-explain, or wait for permission to become who you already are? In this episode, I dive deep into what it really means to give your power away —and why so many of us learned to do it in the first place. I explore the subtle, everyday ways power leaks show up in our lives: people-pleasing, ignoring intuition, ove...

In this solo episode, I explore how meditation can gently support trauma healing—without bypassing, forcing stillness, or pretending everything is “fine.” Trauma doesn’t just live in our memories. It lives in the nervous system, the body, our thought patterns, and our sense of safety in the world. Today, I break down what’s actually happening beneath the surface when we meditate—and why certain tr...

Have you ever accomplished something meaningful… only to feel like a fraud anyway? In this solo episode, I dive into what imposter syndrome really is — and why so many capable, compassionate, driven people secretly believe they don’t belong in the rooms they’ve earned. We explore how trauma, emotional neglect, chronic stress, and early conditioning can wire the nervous system for hyper-vigilance,...

What you focus on determines how you feel—and how you feel determines the quality of your life. In this solo episode, I explore the power of focus , inspired by the teachings of Tony Robbins: focus equals feeling . Whatever you consistently place your attention on begins to feel real in your body, even when it isn’t objectively true. And over time, those feelings shape your choices, behaviors, and...

In this solo episode, we’re talking about self-doubt —not as a personal weakness, but as a learned survival response . If you’ve ever felt stuck second-guessing yourself, overthinking decisions, shrinking your voice, or waiting for permission to trust what you already know, this episode is for you. We’ll explore what self-doubt actually looks like beneath the surface, why it so often develops in p...

Why does it feel like so many families are dysfunctional—even the ones that look “normal” on the outside? In this solo episode, I explore this question from a trauma-informed, compassionate perspective. I talk about how dysfunction isn’t always loud or obvious, and how many families are shaped by unhealed generational trauma, emotional immaturity, and nervous systems stuck in survival mode. I shar...

I want to share something deeply personal in this episode — my own experience growing up chronically sick. From the time I was five years old, I received weekly allergy shots. This went on for eight years. On the surface, it looked like I just had “bad allergies.” But what no one was asking back then was why my body was constantly reacting… and what it might have been trying to communicate. As a c...

In this episode, I continue the conversation by exploring trauma responses that often show up in how we communicate, relate to other women, and take up space in the world. I talk about the anxiety many of us feel around other women, especially in group settings or with female authority figures. I explore why over-apologizing and over-explaining become automatic, how difficulty setting boundaries d...

In this episode, I talk about the often-overlooked trauma responses that can develop in daughters raised by emotionally unavailable or unloving mothers. I explore how perfectionism can become a form of protection, why accepting love or care can feel uncomfortable or even unsafe, and how many of us find ourselves repeatedly drawn to emotionally unavailable partners. I also discuss hyper-independenc...

If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed trying to figure out what kind of therapy you’re “supposed” to do , you’re not alone—because I’ve been there too. In this solo episode, I share what I’ve learned about the different therapy types used to heal trauma, PTSD, and complex PTSD , and why not every approach works for every nervous system. I talk about why traditional talk therapy didn’t always help me, an...

In this solo episode, I’m diving into a part of the brain that most people have never heard of — but it impacts everything about how you think, feel, and understand yourself: the Default Mode Network , or DMN. The DMN is the brain’s “storytelling network.”  It’s active when you’re reflecting, daydreaming, remembering the past, imagining the future, or trying to make sense of who you are. It shapes...

In this solo episode, I’m breaking down one of the most important — and most misunderstood — parts of trauma healing: the vagus nerve. This powerful nerve is responsible for your ability to calm down, feel safe, regulate your emotions, connect with others, and come back into your body after stress. But after trauma, especially long-term trauma like cPTSD, the vagus nerve becomes weakened and overw...

In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into the sympathetic nervous system — the part of our body responsible for the fight-or-flight response — and what actually happens to it after trauma. If you’ve ever felt constantly on edge, easily triggered, always “on,” or like your body can’t relax even when you want it to… this episode will resonate deeply. I’m breaking down how trauma rewires the sympath...

In this solo episode, I’m diving deep into one of the most important — and most overlooked — parts of trauma healing: the parasympathetic nervous system , also known as the “rest and heal” branch of your body’s nervous system. This is the system that helps you relax.  It helps you breathe deeply.  It helps you feel safe, grounded, open, connected, and present.  It’s where calm lives… and where tru...

In this solo episode, I’m diving into one of the most misunderstood — but most powerful — parts of trauma healing: the hippocampus , the part of the brain that helps us form memories, process experiences, and understand the difference between the past and the present. For so many of us living with PTSD or cPTSD, the hippocampus gets overwhelmed by chronic stress and trauma. It becomes smaller, fog...

In this solo episode, I’m diving into a part of trauma healing that doesn’t get talked about enough — the prefrontal cortex , the part of the brain responsible for clarity, decision-making, emotional regulation, boundaries, planning, and staying grounded in the moment. For years, I wondered why I shut down during conflict…  why my mind went blank when I got triggered…  why focusing felt impossible...

In this solo episode, I’m diving into one of the most important — and misunderstood — parts of healing trauma: the amygdala , the tiny part of the brain that acts like our personal alarm system. For so many of us who have lived through PTSD or cPTSD, the amygdala becomes overactive, oversensitive, and overwhelmed. It fires even when nothing is wrong. It makes calm feel dangerous and chaos feel fam...

In this solo episode, I’m opening up about something that often hides in plain sight — Complex PTSD , or cPTSD. This isn’t just about a single traumatic event… it’s about the kind of pain that lingers from repeated emotional wounds — the times you felt unsafe, unseen, or silenced for far too long. I’ll be sharing the signs and patterns I’ve learned to recognize — things like emotional flashbacks,...

In this solo episode, I’m opening up about something powerful I’ve been reflecting on lately — the idea that what we do in private determines how people treat us in public. I’ve realized that the way I talk to myself when no one’s around, the energy I carry when I’m alone, and the way I show up for me — all of that creates the vibration that others pick up on. When I used to talk down on myself or...
