Riding The Trauma Train Podcast

In this deeply honest and thought-provoking episode of Riding the Trauma Train, Lydia is joined by holistic health practitioner, metaphysical mentor and founder of The Strange Apothecary, Hannah Strange.

Together, they explore trauma, nervous system regulation, childhood conditioning, shadow work and what healing really looks like beyond the idea of being “fixed”. Hannah shares how growing up between two very different family environments shaped her nervous system, her healing journey and the work she now does supporting overwhelmed women through nature, ritual and nervous-system-informed healing.

This conversation is warm, validating and packed with practical insight for anyone who feels stuck in survival mode, exhausted from constantly holding everything together or overwhelmed by healing advice online.

In This Episode We Cover:

• What nervous system regulation actually means
• Why healing is not linear and can feel like a spiral
• How childhood experiences shape adult trauma responses
• Hyper-independence, people pleasing and perfectionism as survival responses
• What “shadow work” really is (and what it isn’t)
• Why the body remembers trauma even when the mind understands it
• A simple breathwork tool for moments of overwhelm
• Hannah’s journey from CBD founder to holistic healing mentor
• Community healing and accessible wellbeing support
• Integrating holistic and medical approaches to healing
• Grief, spirituality and trusting intuition

Key Takeaways

• Hannah explains that healing is not something we “finish”. Old wounds can resurface at different stages of life, often asking to be explored with deeper awareness and compassion.

• The episode also explores how trauma responses such as people pleasing, perfectionism and hyper-independence are often protective survival strategies developed in environments where safety, approval or love felt conditional.

• One of the practical tools Hannah shares is a simple nervous system regulation exercise:

Breathe in through the nose for 4 seconds

Breathe out through the mouth for 6 seconds

This longer exhale helps signal safety to the nervous system and gently brings the body back into the present moment.

In this powerful episode of Riding the Trauma Train, Lydia is joined by Sheetal Story for a deeply honest conversation about trauma, intuition, healing and reconnecting with your authentic self.

Lydia originally discovered Sheetal after hearing her speak on Jenna Kutcher’s Goal Digger Podcast and instantly connected with the way she spoke about intuition, healing and self trust.

Together they explore:

* trauma and hypervigilance

* intuition and nervous system survival

* people pleasing and authenticity

* identity grief and midlife awakening

* fear vs intuition

* spirituality, astrology and healing

* using pain to create purpose

One of the biggest moments in this episode is the discussion around how trauma survivors often become highly intuitive because their nervous systems learned to constantly scan for safety.

That gut feeling.

Reading the energy in a room.

Knowing when something feels “off”.

Sometimes that began as survival.

This conversation is compassionate, validating and thought provoking for anyone learning to reconnect with themselves after years in survival mode.

CONTENT NOTE

This episode includes discussion around:

* childhood trauma

* emotional abuse

* grief and death

* suicide

* mental health

* trauma responses

In this episode of Riding the Trauma Train, Lydia sits down with Dee Jodel for a deeply honest and heartfelt conversation about trauma, inner child healing, women’s circles, cacao ceremonies, emotional expression and reconnecting with yourself.

Dee shares how an unexpected hypnotherapy session helped her realise that trauma is not always about obvious abuse or huge life events. Sometimes it is about how experiences felt in our body and nervous system, especially as children.

Together, Lydia and Dee talk about abandonment wounds, being fully heard without judgement, divine feminine energy, creativity, nature, generational healing and Dee’s beautiful song, Show Me.

This episode is gentle, grounding and full of reminders that healing does not have to look perfect. Sometimes it simply starts with giving yourself permission to feel.

Content Note

Please listen in a way that feels safe and supportive for you.

And if this conversation brought anything up for you emotionally, please take some time afterwards to ground yourself, breathe and reach out for support if needed.

Thank you for being here and remember, you are not on this journey alone.

Self sabotage can feel frustrating enough, but what happens when it starts to feel automatic and harder to interrupt? In this episode, Lydia explores the shift from self sabotage into self destruction and why it is often rooted in protection, not failure. If you have ever felt stuck in patterns you know are hurting you, this conversation will help you understand why and how to gently begin changing direction.

• What We Cover
• The difference between self sabotage and self destruction
• Why these patterns are linked to your nervous system
• The trauma train metaphor and how it explains your behaviour
• Understanding your emotional brain, habits, and rational mind
• Why negative inner voices are not always originally yours
• The belief, stop trying, repeat cycle
• Real life examples including food, procrastination, and doom scrolling
• Why avoidance feels safe but keeps you stuck
• Simple ways to pause and interrupt the pattern
• The importance of connection when you feel like withdrawing

Who This Episode Is For

People who feel stuck in self sabotage patterns

Survivors of trauma navigating emotional coping behaviours

Anyone struggling with procrastination, avoidance, or overwhelm

People who feel numb, exhausted, or easily triggered

Those who want gentle, realistic ways to regain control

Key Takeaways

Self sabotage becomes self destruction when it feels automatic and uninterruptible

Your thoughts are not always facts, even when they feel convincing

Many negative inner voices are learned through past experiences

Avoidance may feel safe but can shrink your world over time

Small pauses are more powerful than big, overwhelming changes

Connection can help regulate your nervous system and shift your state

You do not need to fix everything, you just need to catch the moment

Content Note

This episode includes discussion of trauma, self sabotage, emotional distress, and behaviours that may impact relationships. Please take care while listening and pause if needed. This content is not a replacement for professional support.

About This Episode

In this episode, Lydia shares a simple but powerful way to understand why self sabotage happens, inspired by The Chimp Paradox by Steve Peters. Using her signature trauma train metaphor, she breaks it down into three parts:

• The runaway carriage, representing your emotional and reactive brain
• The tracks, representing your long standing habits and patterns
• The train driver, representing you and your ability to choose

The challenge is not that these parts exist. It is when the runaway carriage takes over without you noticing.

Practical Tools You Can Try

• Pause instead of pushing through the feeling
• Name your inner voice to create distance from it
• Remind yourself that just because a thought is loud does not mean it is true
• Ask yourself what you are trying not to feel
• Take one small step instead of trying to change everything
• Say yes to connection, even if it feels uncomfortable

Together, Lydia and Lisa explore what self-love really means when life has been painful or overwhelming, and why healing often begins with the smallest, gentlest steps.

And if this conversation brought anything up for you, please take a moment to ground yourself

In this powerful and honest conversation, Lydia is joined by Dr Robb Kelly, addiction expert, recovery coach and author, to explore the deep connection between trauma and addiction and why so many people feel stuck in cycles of self-sabotage.

This episode goes beyond surface-level conversations about addiction and looks at what is really underneath it. Together, Lydia and Dr Robb explore how childhood trauma, subconscious patterns and learned behaviours can shape addictive tendencies, coping strategies and the way we show up in our lives and relationships.

If you have ever wondered why harmful patterns feel so hard to break, or why you keep returning to behaviours that do not serve you, this episode offers insight, understanding and a sense that you are not alone.

This is a raw and sometimes heavy conversation. Please listen gently.

What We Talk About

• Trauma and addiction and why it is rarely about the substance alone
• How childhood trauma can shape adult behaviour and coping patterns
• Why self-sabotage can feel familiar and even safe
• The role of the subconscious mind in repeating patterns
• How identity can become tied to trauma and coping mechanisms
• Why people stay in unhealthy relationships, environments or habits
• The impact of the people you surround yourself with
• Breaking cycles and stepping out of familiar patterns
• A simple daily routine to begin shifting mindset and behaviour
• Why speaking to someone is the first step toward recovery

Key Themes

This episode explores trauma and addiction in a way that is compassionate and honest. It looks at how the nervous system and subconscious mind hold onto past experiences and how those experiences can influence behaviour, self-worth and relationships.

Lydia also shares parts of her own journey, including her relationship with food as a coping mechanism, and how trauma can show up in ways that are not always obvious.

Dr Robb shares both professional insight and lived experience, offering a perspective on recovery that focuses on understanding patterns, shifting mindset and building a new way of living.

f you’ve ever felt like you understand your patterns but still can’t seem to change them, this episode is for you.

In this powerful and eye-opening conversation, Lydia is joined by trauma-informed somatic therapist and coach Hannah Rzysko to explore what it really means when we say trauma is held in the body.

Together, they unpack why healing is not just about mindset, how the nervous system stores past experiences, and why your body can still feel unsafe even when your life looks safe on the outside.

Hannah shares accessible and compassionate insights into somatic healing, a body-based approach that supports you in gently releasing stored trauma without overwhelm or forcing anything before you are ready.

This episode will help you understand your reactions on a deeper level, especially if you experience anxiety, shutdown, anger, tightness in the chest or that constant knot in your stomach.

You are not broken. Your body is trying to protect you.

WHAT WE COVER

How the nervous system acts as a filing cabinet of past experiences

In this episode of Riding the Trauma Train, Lydia is joined by neurodivergent coach Emily Edwards to explore what it really means to be late diagnosed with ADHD and autism.

Emily shares how her daughter’s assessment led her to recognise her own neurodivergence, and how that journey opened the door to deeper self-understanding. Together, they talk about masking, trauma, identity and nervous system regulation, and what can happen when you start to truly understand how you work.

They also explore the reality of diagnosis, including long waiting lists, limited resources and why self-awareness can be a powerful first step even without a formal label.

In this episode, we cover:

• Late ADHD and autism diagnosis in women

• Masking and why it can feel exhausting

• The overlap between trauma and neurodivergence
