The show starts with a very special guest this week, Carla’s sister Stephanie! She spills on what it was really like growing up with Carla, why she will always think of Carla as the baby, and what she has learned as a loyal Love Fix listener. Then, they welcome Counselor, Trainer, and Body Oriented Coach, Elizabeth Barre. Through Elizabeth’s work, she helps people heal through embodied self-compassion by working with their whole system and creating more space and resilience into their experience. Elizabeth discusses how we can get addicted to trauma, what she does to help her clients become aware of their nervous system and build resources, and why love trauma can be the most addictive.
