In this episode, I make the topic of #trauma easier to understand by walking you step-by-step through my recent revelation that I was dealing with past trauma.

Note: This episode covers sensitive topics, including discussions of trauma and sexual assault. If this topic is not relevant to you at the moment, please skip this episode.

The words “trauma” and “nervous system” are thrown around like candy online.

I want to share the profound things I learned about both topics and how I began to address and heal the trauma in my #nervoussystem.

This episode is personal, it's important and tactical, and most importantly, it's full of tools you can start using right now.
