Discover Rising Tides

In this episode of Discover Rising Tides, Jeanne Gallagher sits down with Annie Emprima — Army veteran, metaphysical trauma researcher, angel investor, and author of the upcoming book Trauma Whispers Before It Roars. Together, they explore the connection between the outside world and the inside world, and how stress, grief, debt, purpose, community, environment, and belonging all impact the body’s ability to heal.

Annie shares her personal journey after returning from deployment carrying emotional and financial burdens, and how those experiences shaped her understanding that healing is not only emotional or spiritual — it is also practical. Through her EMPRIMA Methods, Annie now helps others reconnect with their bodies, understand what their nervous systems have been carrying, and transform lived experiences into awareness, alignment, purpose, and impact.

This conversation is a powerful look at resilience, healing, entrepreneurship, and the importance of creating safety and support in order to truly rise.

✨ Topics include:

• Trauma and nervous system healing

• The connection between environment and wellness

• Purpose after adversity

• Community, belonging, and support

• Entrepreneurship and impact

• Turning lived experience into transformation
