Would $750,000 benefit your life? In this episode, I am going to give it back to you!!

For most trauma survivors, the real cost of healing is invisible. It hides inside therapy sessions, self-help programs, retreats, medications, burnout, and lost income.
When you add it all up, research shows the average long-term survivor can easily spend over $750,000 in a decade just trying to feel okay.
And the worst part? Most people never realize they’re paying this price. The struggle is all they have ever known.

The Reality Behind the Numbers... I share about this in this episode and give you a way to SAVE, MAKE, and BUILD!

As you listen, you can reference the statistics and research of all I share here in the episode - in a Medium Article I wrote last week after being inspired to research the value based on results for our graduates from this angle.

In this bold and compassionate episode of More Than Sex and Secrets, Dr. Lisha Antiqua unpacks a powerful truth: You can’t fully heal from childhood sexual abuse if you keep reliving it emotionally, mentally, or spiritually.

While awareness is essential, fixating on the trauma keeps survivors trapped in the very pain they’re trying to escape. Lisha shares how CSA symptoms like dissociation, people-pleasing, body shame, chronic illness, relationship struggles, and hyper-vigilance are normal responses to a deeply abnormal experience — like having someone break into your home… and never leave.

You’ll learn:

• Why traditional talk therapy often stalls trauma healing

• The most common symptoms and misdiagnoses of CSA survivors

• How trauma creates emotional “squatters” in your body and mind

• A shift from trauma focus to sovereign healing and identity restoration

📚 Dr. Lisha also invites you to her 8-week class at Gateway University, beginning January 22nd — an immersive course in trauma-informed identity restoration, nervous system repair, and personal empowerment.

If you’ve ever felt unmotivated to work out, inconsistent at the gym, or frustrated that eating right and weight training aren’t giving you the results they used to, this episode will change how you see fitness forever.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Lisha Antiqua joins Jaime to explore the hidden connection between stress, nervous system regulation, self-worth, and physical strength.

This episode goes beyond fitness advice to reveal how worthiness, identity, and beliefs directly impact your relationship with exercise, food, weight training, and self-care. You’ll learn why pushing harder often backfires, how lifting weights can become an act of self-respect and a healthy body that lasts.

Jaime Miller and her partner Craig upgraded their 3-step Guide to Be Consistent with Fitness & Nutrition without starving yourself or forcing your body through extreme workouts. 

Now it’s a mini-course… and they’re giving it to my community for free! The mini-course grounds you with actionable steps and shows you how to build a lasting foundation with fitness and nutrition.

It is season 4 and this season is going to be FABULOUS!

Thank you so much for listening, supporting and sharing this little podcast talking about all the things we are not allowed to talk about. Like healing, surviving and overcoming abuse, reprogramming your body, mind to thrive and not sugar coating the journey.

I have felt lead to not settle for a life that is all about healing, that just repeats the pains of my parents and pretends all things are FINE. I want to live authentically and I want you to as well.

As I have grown this mission and movement over the past 20 years from my beginnings as a yoga teacher and nutritionalist through many certifications and finally my PhD in transpersonal psychology, my focus has been on our community. The forgotten and YET NOT BROKEN.

Thank you for supporting this show and Your Own University for the past 4 seasons (and beyond). You are alive to rise, to transform your generational patterns and bring more light and love into our world.

Feel free to join our community at http://www.Yourownunviersity.com - take the soul confidence quiz to discover your path to freedom, expression, and purpose. You are worth it!!

As we close out 2025, this powerful episode of More Than Sex and Secrets invites you to reflect on your healing journey, not just the parts that feel good, but the ones you’ve been avoiding.

Next year, 2026, we will be focusing on your worth, worthiness, and value - a topic that no one talks about in relation to sexual abuse, and it is time you stand in your value and abundance flows.

But before we do - this episode.

I unpack the real work of healing by exploring spiritual, mental, and emotional bypassing, those hidden habits we adopt to appear okay when we're still carrying wounds. From saying "I’m fine" to using spirituality as a shield, this episode shines a light on how bypassing keeps us stuck in cycles of pain, shame, and unworthiness.

Through personal stories and psychological insight, we go deeper into how bypassing keeps survivors surviving, healing, and dealing, and guides you to stop holding it all together and finally start validating your own truth. If you’ve ever felt abandoned, unseen, or forced to smile through the pain… this one’s for you.

✨ It’s not about being positive all the time.
It’s about being whole, witnessed, and empowered.

Your Invitation
If you're ready to move from healing into wholeness, sovereignty, and soul-aligned relationships, join us inside the YOU Matter Club — a sanctuary for deep self-worth, real tools, and powerful manifestation. Together, we rise.

The final show in season 3 - THE PATH TO HEALING!!

This show is a perfect conclusion of the series on what it means to be healed. And an introduction to our season 4 theme, worthiness. Just one day after the passing of her soulmate, Debrah Weed, blessed us with this interview. It is real, raw, and inspirational. The power of healing, miracles, music, and overcoming.

My guest today is Debrah Weed. After overcoming a misdiagnosis that left me bedridden for three years, I’ve poured my energy into creating platforms that empower others to rediscover their value. One of my most cherished projects, Paisley the Musical, uses storytelling and music to explore self-worth and transformation in ways that resonate deeply with audiences. I’ve also founded the QUILL POWER MOVEMENT to help young girls reclaim their voices and step into their power, and it’s been humbling to see how creativity can become a tool for healing and empowerment.
