Why You’re Always Stressed: The Hidden Impact of Childhood Trauma
Why are you always stressed, even when life is calm? This episode reveals how childhood trauma rewires your body and what it really takes to heal.
If you’re constantly on edge, even when life seems calm, you’re not alone. Chronic stress often traces back to childhood trauma that reshapes your nervous system, locking your body into survival mode long after the original threat is gone. In this episode, Elly and Isa unpack how trauma affects the body, why rest can feel impossible, and what real healing looks like.
Through personal stories and a faith-informed lens, they explore how childhood wounds affect your health, relationships, and spiritual life. From migraines and weight gain to emotional disconnection, the effects of toxic stress run deep. Emerging science, like epigenetics, supports what Scripture has said all along: unhealed pain can be passed from one generation to the next, but that cycle can be broken.
Healing begins with honest reflection—not perfection. You can name where you are without settling there. Rest is more than sleep; it's the ability to reflect, be present, and find gratitude in the moment. Accountability and empathy can coexist, helping us support others without enabling unhealthy patterns.
If you're ready to move out of survival mode and into a place of peace, start with a few small but meaningful steps. Take the free Shame Quiz to identify hidden stressors, and download the ‘A Better Way’ Guide for a powerful framework that integrates faith and therapy to help you move forward.
