🎧 Your body holds stories your mind can't speak. For years, Amma Thanasanti, a meditation teacher with nearly 50 years of practice—including 28 as a Theravāda Buddhist nun—appeared serene and "fine." But beneath the surface, she carried a profound, hidden sadness.

In this deeply honest episode, Amma shares her journey of discovering that "fine" is not fully alive and how traditional practice alone often can't reach deep emotional wounds. It wasn't until she began attachment repair work and focused on nervous system repair that she could finally shift her emotional baseline and start healing her trauma.

We explore vital topics such as:

• Behind the Smile: What it means to carry hidden sadness for decades.
• When Belonging Cost Too Much: Healing from spiritual harm and reclaiming your own discernment in community.
• The Attachment-Aware Path to Presence: Blending traditional mindfulness with the necessary work of nervous system repair to move from emotional survival to authentic joy.

This conversation is for anyone who feels stuck in their healing journey. Learn how to reclaim your wholeness by listening to the truth your body is holding.
