Life leaves invisible marks on us—some shape us, others weigh us down. In this episode of Everyday Spirituality, Monique and Colin explore how emotional wounds, trauma, and past experiences imprint on our bodies and minds, influencing everything from our self-image to our subconscious behaviors.

Quotes from the Episode:

"Life imprints on us—like a tear, a fold, a crease. Every experience, good, bad, or ugly, leaves its mark."

"Trauma isn’t just in your head—it lives in your body, shaping how you feel, react, and even get sick."

"We all need a release. If we don’t shake off the past, we carry it with us for life."
