Part 2 of this 2 part episode series continues to explore the reality of society today–one where varying levels of abuse and oppression exist–yet maintain the truth that this subject matter can be discussed appropriately from an empowered place. Tune in to learn more about what emotional abuse can look like in your most difficult relationships with humans, but also institutions and organizations. The hope is for you to feel seen, witnessed, validated–or for you to see that you can be this person for your clients in the future. And I’m not exaggerating in mentioning that you could be the “first” person to see your clients in a way that they’ve never experienced before–without bias or agenda. 

Carried forward from part 1: Oftentimes, when we hear the word “abuse” we think “ugh, I don’t like that word,” “people overuse and abuse the word ‘abuse,’” or “people who use that word are being victim-y and can’t get over the past”. This is a topic we cover in-depth in my programs but for the purpose of this episode, you’ll still come to discover a high-touch, general definition of abuse. You’ll see that if this applies to you, that you can talk about “Your Lived Experience” from an empowered space. In this episode you’ll learn the definition of emotional abuse, every-day examples of abuse (some might surprise you), and the distinction between behaviors and attitudes. My hope is for you to leave this episode feeling witnessed, validated, and empowered enough to create enough safety within to set boundaries where appropriate in your intimate and other relationships. This work moves us all closer towards living into our authentic self.

Meet Lindsay:

Become a Trauma-Informed Coaching certification is open for enrollment, and you might have some questions. Maybe you’re wondering what you really want or what you’re meant to do, to live a fulfilling life. You might be wondering if the coaching industry is too saturated, or if it’s ethical to charge for your services. You might be thinking that a certification like this would be too hard or beyond your capabilities, or that you’ll have to hustle to get there. Or maybe you’re worried about how you’ll tell your friends, family, or colleagues what you’re doing.

In this episode, your host Lindsay Poelman addresses these questions and more. You’ll learn more about the certification and impact you can have. As you allow yourself to entertain your desires as they come to you, the possibilities are endless.

Meet Lindsay:

In case you missed the first half, listen here for a fun conversation with Melissa Taylor, the somatic practitioner coming to our retreat next month in the south of France! We talk loosely about the idea that we’re all our own modality. We discuss the forward thinking approach to healing and growth as more of a state of “attending” to ourselves instead of “fixing.” We delve into the importance of play and fun with respect to healing, and more. After being diagnosed with breast cancer twice, among other life challenges, Melissa set her own path to healing and connecting with her soul and today she helps others do the same. She’s participating as an expert facilitator in my programs this year to lead us on a Chakra healing journey, and will also be part of my retreat this summer in the South of France. She is gifted, multitalented, multifaceted, and SO. MUCH. MORE! I hope you love this conversation as much as I did.

Meet Lindsay:

The thought that you are your own modality is one I picked up from my dear friend, colleague, and soul sister Melissa Taylor. I am thrilled to have her on today’s podcast. After being diagnosed with breast cancer twice, among other life challenges, she set her own path to healing and connecting with her soul. She’s one of those people I always come back to and cherish our time together. Melissa is an integral piece of the retreat I’m holding in the south of France next month, so I wanted you all to get to know her! Listen to part 1 of our conversation where we talk casually about accessing your spiritual gifts, the importance of nervous system work, and more.

Interested in hanging out with us this summer in the South of France? Learn more here. Your mental well-being deserves this.

Meet Lindsay:

You may have heard trauma defined as Big T or Little T Trauma. While having this language to differentiate and describe your experience can be helpful, in some cases it can also be harmful (see episode on self-gaslighting) and re-traumatizing. Because women (and oftentimes men) have been deeply conditioned to discount their lived experience, oftentimes we’re carrying, experiencing, or re-experiencing traumas without even knowing it. This episode will help you give language to your experience while also helping you to question how you describe your trauma. While this episode will discuss big and little T trauma, any trauma can impact you and it's okay for you to take up space with your healing.

Meet Lindsay:

Have you ever noticed something and felt the need to “fix, fix, fix” it? Your host, Lindsay Poelman, is here to tell you that you don’t need to fix everything, especially not right away. Every Healing Journey typically starts with a “Clarity + Discovery” phase, where grief inevitably follows. Many people aren’t aware of this, so when the need for grief processing arises, they often resist, stuff back down, avoid, or react in other ways. When this happens, the emotions that need to be felt–aren’t dealt with–and consequently get stored in the physical body. This episode is your reminder that it’s ok to be gentle with yourself (in fact, Lindsay encourages it) during any healing and growth journey. When we become aware that we’re in these phases,  we really want to practice attuning to the needs of our Body so we can create safety. This is paramount when it comes to living a Soul-Led life that many of us dream (or are afraid to dream) of. A life of freedom, ease, joy, and Aliveness. 

Listen in to discover one thing you can do to support YourSelf if you can relate to any of this. And . . . whether you’re doing your own healing work–or you’re a Coach supporting your clients in healing and growth work–this episode is for you.

Meet Lindsay:

Gaslighting is becoming a bit of a “buzzword” these days, Which doesn't have to be a problem! In fact, there may very well be a reason why! Today your host, Lindsay Poelman, is breaking it down. She’ll explain the various definitions of what gaslighting actually is, share examples, and talk about how it can show up in not just romantic, but familial relationships. Lindsay then shares examples of what Self-Gaslighting is and why it’s so common in our world today. Noticing these patterns can be freeing and empowering, so by listening to this episode you may find yourself dialing into some of those thought patterns that keep you small–so that you can break free from them when ready. If you feel that something is holding you back from taking up space in this world, it could be related to self-gaslighting. Listen to today’s episode to learn more.

Meet Lindsay:

Dysfunctional relationships can develop for people in relation to marriage, friendships, with institutions or religion, relationships at work, or anything like that.

In this episode, your host Lindsay Poelman discusses The Drama Triangle. It models three roles or positions we can have during social interactions. When you listen to the episode, remember that this isn’t to judge ourselves or others but to gain awareness and compassion for our behavior when in activated states. 

As we become aware of these patterns in ourselves, and the “musts” behind them, have information to support us in any necessary healing and/or boundary setting that needs to happen to support our safety. 

This "changing the dance" from survival to ultimate thriving isn't always comfortable as it alters the homeostasis in relationships. But it is worth it for you, to feel safe enough to change any dance moves you no longer want to practice and see if you and those in your relationships are open to "tripping forward" with you into new territory. 

Listen in to see why "changing the dance" does not mean that you have to completely 180 everything in your life as you develop more safety to live into and express more of your True Self. 

And remember, taking care of your nervous system IS changing the dance (see more of what I mean on this episode).
