Trigger warning, this podcast contains discussions relating to trauma, mental health and other potentially distressing experiences. If you or someone you know is struggling with their mental health, you can call Lifeline on 131114.
We often believe that if we can just change our circumstances, everything else will fall into place. But real healing is rarely that simple. For my second solo episode, I share how trauma shaped my relationship with safety, stress and self-worth, and the practices that have helped me reconnect with myself, trust my intuition and build a life that feels liberating, more peaceful and intentional.
In this episode we share:
- Why changing jobs, relationships or locations won't heal wounds unless you have addressed them within yourself.
- How trauma conditioned my nervous system to stay in survival mode long after the danger had passed.
- Why unresolved emotions follow us into every new chapter if we don't deal with them first.
- How our environment, relationships and daily surroundings can either support or drain our wellbeing.
- The difference between relationships that create safety and those that create chaos and confusion.
- Why trying to rescue or fix other people often comes at the expense of our own healing and wellbeing.
- How I've learned to trust my body and intuition when something doesn't feel right.
- The role Reiki has played in helping me reconnect with stillness, grounding and nervous system regulation.
- Why I believe healing isn't just mental, but also emotional, physical and energetic.
- Simple ways to create more peace, safety and self-awareness in everyday life.
