In this powerful episode, we sit down with Lacy Nicole, a devoted mother, mental health advocate, and philanthropist, who shares her journey as a survivor and advocate for others. Lacy opens up about growing up in "thriving chaos," where she learned to confront shame and reclaim her strength. With vulnerability, she discusses her personal battle with seven autoimmune disorders and highlights the shocking statistics around women's health. Lacy sheds light on the lack of education surrounding women’s health, urging listeners to take charge of their own well-being, ask the right questions, and listen to their bodies when something feels off. "The gut and the brain should be best friends. The brain and trauma should be worst enemies," she says, emphasizing the need for women to advocate for themselves.

Lacy delves deep into the effects of trauma, sharing insights on brain scans and studies related to CPTSD and PTSD, as well as the transformative impact of EMDR therapy. She offers practical tips for rewiring the brain and healing from trauma. The conversation takes an emotional turn when Lacy asks guest Kayla a deeply personal question about birthing trauma, a topic often overlooked but incredibly real for many women. This episode is not meant to spread fear but to raise awareness about a broken system and empower women to take control of their health. Feel free to reflect on and share your own health journey after listening.
