While spirituality has a profoundly beautiful contribution to the healing journey, I believe it’s really important how we approach spirituality as trauma survivors.

This episode is meant to open a collaborative dialogue about this topic, and I would absolutely love to hear your feedback, thoughts and feelings about this on instagram!

In this episode, I share:

Trauma as a gift is a controversial topic for sure, and I wanted to share some of my thoughts on this.

While trauma is extremely harmful and painful - it can provide us with incredible strength and resilience. I come from the perspective that we ALL experience trauma, so we all get to learn from it.

In this episode, I share how I've learned from my own traumatic experiences and how trauma has been a gift for me - along with the moments when it was the most painful experience. And yes, they can coexist.

When I started my healing journey, I didn't realize I was only addressing my conscious mind through mindset work. This did not go deep enough to change my habits because it didn't address the most important part of us: the unconscious and the subconscious! 

Today, we are going extra deep into how you can actually shift behavioral patterns and your reality.

In this episode, I cover:

When we have experienced a lot of trauma and find ourselves in triggering situations, it can be so tricky to discern whether we are facing a trauma-based decision, or perhaps our intuition is speaking to us - for or against something.

We are often sold the myth that healing is a destination, rather than a journey.

So often, we think that being regulated means always being calm and happy. So I wanted to share another perspective...

In this episode, I cover the nervous system states: ventral vagal, sympathetic, dorsal vagal

Why we need each state for our survival, and why we would never want to get rid of any of them

Safety and perceived threat/trauma and the nervous system

What regulation actually means: aka flexibility, not being constantly in ventral vagal, or present and calm. 

The practices, tools and exercises we need to continue to improve our regulation such as: body connection, somatic awareness, knowing somatic exercises that work for us, and a daily somatic routine

When you’re addicted to chaos, you will always function that way in your nervous system

You will choose environments, relationships and activities that are fast paced

You will choose activities that are really intense to calm down - this will only work in the short term, as a numbing strategy, but not in the long term

In this episode, we cover... 

Working on my own addiction to chaos and a fast paced life has been one of my biggest challenges, so I am really excited to share my progress and the tools that have been supportive so far!

Feeling lonely has been a trigger for me for most of my life. This New Years I experienced something magical, and I wanted to share it with you as a sign of hope and a message about the importance of community. 

We are not meant to heal and grow alone. We are meant to do so in community!

In this episode, I cover... 

If you are feeling lonely, I want you to know and feel that my heart feels your heart. I love you so much.

You can't think your way out of overwhelm - overwhelm is in your body and your nervous system.

In this episode, we explore what overwhelm feels like and looks like in the nervous system - the perception of danger in your body. The dorsal vagal shut down we experience that feels like overwhelm.

This episode is a practical guide that will support you to not only learn how to reduce your stress levels throughout the day so that overwhelm occurs less - but also how you can heal past trauma emotionally so that you get less triggered into this state of overwhelm.

You cannot shift procrastination through brute force or willpower.

I believe procrastination has so much to teach us and has deep wisdom for us rooted in past trauma and unprocessed emotions.

In this episode, I provide you with a beautiful specific process you can follow whenever you find yourself procrastinating that will get to the deep root of it, rather than a surface level fix.
