Episode 3: Release Trauma and Trapped Emotions


Listen Later

If you’ve ever felt stuck despite all the work you’ve done—whether it’s thinking positive, talking it out, or trying to move on—this episode is for you.

Trauma isn’t just a memory. It’s something your body holds onto. And no, you can’t simply think or talk your way through it. True healing happens in the body. Today, we’re diving deep into what trauma and trapped emotions do to your nervous system and, most importantly, how to release them.


You’ll learn:

• Why trauma is stored in the body—not just the mind

• The four nervous system stress responses: fight, flight, freeze, and fawn

• Why unprocessed emotions can lead to anxiety, fatigue, and even physical pain

• Powerful body-based tools to help you regulate your nervous system and release stored trauma, including:

• Somatic exercises

• Grounding techniques

• Breathwork

• Vagus nerve stimulation

• Psoas and fascia release

•  EMDR and other somatic practices


This episode isn’t just about understanding trauma—it’s about releasing it.

If you’ve been carrying the weight of old wounds, past experiences, or unprocessed emotions, it’s time to give your body what it truly needs to heal.
