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 familiar. It keeps us stuck in survival mode long after the threat is gone.

And here’s the part no one talks about enough:
 Your reactions aren’t your “fault” — they are your brain’s way of trying to protect you.

In this episode, I break down:

• What the amygdala actually does
• How trauma reshapes the way it fires
• Why emotional flashbacks, anxiety, hypervigilance, and shutdowns happen
• The brain science behind PTSD and cPTSD
• And most importantly… how we can support the amygdala so it can finally relax and heal

I’ll walk you through the practices that have helped me regulate my own nervous system — breathwork, grounding, creating predictable routines, somatic tools, reparenting, and building safety from the inside out.

You’ll also learn why safe relationships, self-compassion, and slowing down are not “luxuries”… they are the medicine your brain has been craving.

This episode is a mix of neuroscience, lived experience, and soul-led insight you won’t want to miss. If you’ve ever wondered “Why do I react this way?” or “Is my brain always going to feel like this?” — this conversation will bring clarity, compassion, and hope.

By the end, you’ll understand one thing on a deeper level:
 ✨ Your amygdala is not broken — it’s healing with you.
✨ And you can absolutely rewire your brain toward peace.
