Welcome to another enlightening episode of The Liberated Woman Podcast! Today, I’m delighted to be joined by Effie Kli, a trauma specialist whose work in somatic trauma healing has profoundly impacted many lives.
Effie’s approach centres on helping people awaken from the spell of trauma so they can live with vitality rather than simply coping with life.
In this episode, we explore how trauma manifests in our bodies, the societal conditioning that leads to emotional neglect, and the importance of learning to be present with our somatic experiences.
Effie shares valuable insights into living vibrantly, even with unresolved issues, and offers practical advice on beginning the journey towards somatic healing. We also delve into the relationship between our connections with men and money, and how these often mirror each other in surprising ways.
Key Topics Discussed:
Quotes to Remember:
“Trauma decontextualised in a family looks like family traits. Trauma in a people looks like culture.” — Resmaa Menakem
“Your anxiety might be a sign that the environment you’re in is not the right one for you.” — Effie Klee
More about Effie Kli:
As a child, Effie believed she had the perfect childhood until a sudden family loss at age ten turned her life upside down. To cope with the trauma, she developed coping mechanisms like hypervigilance, perfectionism, and workaholism, mistaking them for her personality. For nearly two decades, she lived in survival mode without realising it.
It wasn’t until a period of high anxiety and panic attacks, despite her seemingly perfect life, that Effie began to question her reality. Diagnosed with generalised anxiety disorder, she initially turned to medication, but when the anxiety returned, she sought deeper solutions. Discovering the concept of trauma, she realised her body was responding normally to past experiences.
Somatic healing transformed her life, leading her to train in somatic-based and trauma-informed modalities. Since then, Effie has helped hundreds of people through workshops, private sessions, and her 12-week signature programme, Healing Trauma Guided by the Body. Her passion lies in helping others trust their bodies, believe in their capacity to heal, and move from stuckness to vitality.

Welcome to The Liberated Woman Podcast! Today, I am overjoyed to be joined by the phenomenal EbonyJanice Moore.
It is an utter joy to be in conversation with one of the most impactful women I have experienced. EbonyJanice’s work has supported me in so many ways from her writing to her patreon and the content she shares on social media.
EbonyJanice is a brilliant thinker, writer, creative, and advocate for Black women’s sovereignty. In this episode, we explore the profound power of reclaiming our full selves, the wisdom of our ancestors, and the transformative nature of imagination.
Throughout our conversation, EbonyJanice shares her journey of self-sovereignty, emphasising the importance of rejecting societal expectations, particularly those imposed on Black women. We explore the concept of “mamification” and how it often limits Black women’s identities, and discuss how reconnecting with ancestral wisdom can guide us towards true liberation.
EbonyJanice also highlights the critical role of imagination in personal and collective freedom, urging us to “dream ourselves free.”
Key Takeaways:
Actionable Steps:
60-Second Stillness: Start with 60 seconds of stillness each day to connect with yourself. Gradually increase this time as you become more comfortable with the practice.
Integrity Work: Commit to being the authentic version of yourself, which is a powerful tool for personal and collective liberation.
Nurture Your Imagination: Dedicate time to daydream and explore your imagination. This can be a powerful source of creativity and solutions in your life.
Quote of the Episode:
“Actual you is going to open doors that fake you either could not have gotten through or could not sustain.” – EbonyJanice

Hello, lovely listeners! In this solo episode, I share my observations on the intersection of race and toxic productivity culture. As I've been promoting my book, "Women Who Work Too Much," I've noticed a lack of conversations about how this issue uniquely affects Black women and women of the global majority.
In this episode, I share my thoughts on:
I'm inviting more nuanced conversation about intersectionality and toxic productivity.
