It was time for something personal. A glimpse behind the curtain of how I went from five dense pages of trauma history to becoming a wide woman. I share the therapies and modalities that held me, how I finally landed in somatics, kairos time, and nervous system health, and how every single pattern I ever developed made sense.

This is a vulnerable telling of what it’s like to live with an ancestral field heavy with trauma and difficulty, when your nervous system is wired to flee and swell just to outrun the tidal wave.

I did not prep for this episode, I had no notes, or a structure. I just shared the words that wanted to be spoken.

In this intimate solo episode, Anne shares the raw truth of her healing journey: from generational trauma and panic attacks to working in war zones, experiencing sexual assault, and finding deep resonance in the world of somatics.

She unpacks:

• Why cognitive therapy was a lifeline, but not the whole story

• The shift into somatic therapy and working with multiple bodies (ancestral, emotional, relational, energetic, etc)

• How trauma shows up in real life, and how it also doesn’t define us

• The power of movement, travel, and tuning into your own rhythm (the right tidal conditions)

• What “healthy tidal waves” in the nervous system can look like

• How to find completion and resonance instead of constantly chasing regulation

This is for the woman who is tired of being reduced to a trauma response.

This is for the woman who knows her body remembers something deeper.

This is for the wide woman who’s ready to trust somatic time.
