This episode is a continuation of one of the most vulnerable things I’ve ever shared: a peek into the trauma mapped inside my brain. Sitting with Sarah Murphy for part two of my brain mapping session changed the way I understand my past, my nervous system, and the way healing really works. And wow, was it validating.
We talk honestly about sleep, anxiety, anger, resilience, and what happens when your brain has been stuck in survival mode for years. If you’ve ever wondered whether your body can truly recover, or if you’re just wired this way forever, this conversation might open a door you didn’t know existed.
Highlights:
(01:52) Seeing fight or flight show up on a brain map, and why it was strangely validating
(05:47) Why anger is harder to access than sadness, especially for women
(09:08) Gamma brainwaves, heightened awareness, and how healing actually happens
(15:38) Trauma, insomnia, and why the brain struggles to let go on its own
(18:10) What it feels like when your nervous system finally feels safe
(22:45) Training resilience so old triggers stop running your present
