Stronger in the Difficult Places

The Link Between Insecure Attachment, Self Abandonment And Chronic Stress


Listen Later

In this episode, we dive deep into the body's role in healing with Kate, a physical therapist, author, and embodied freedom and transformation coach. Kate specializes in helping service-driven women who feel like they're falling apart—overwhelmed, exhausted, and trapped in cycles of chronic anxiety, pain, and fatigue.

We also unpacked how shame shapes our identity and how the unhealed stress and trauma we carry doesn't just affect us—it ripples into our relationships. When we stay disconnected from our bodies, we struggle to show up fully for ourselves and others. But when we begin to listen, release, and heal, we open the door to deeper connection, compassion, and freedom.

With a background in neuro and pain science, she offers a powerful lens into how stress and trauma are held in the body—and how releasing them can create real transformation. We talked about what it means to come back to your body, how physical tension reflects emotional holding, and she even guided me through some surprising exercises to uncover what I've been carrying.

This conversation is a reminder that healing isn't just a mental process. It's physical. It's embodied. And it's deeply personal.
