Happy 4th of July, my amazing listeners! I’m re-airing one of my favorite episodes today—The Freedom to Choose—because this message hits deep, especially if you’ve experienced betrayal, abuse, or a life-saving divorce.

While we celebrate external freedoms in our country, I want to invite you to reflect on your internal freedom—the kind that no one can take away. The power to choose how you think, feel, and respond. The ability to go inward, access your emotions, and reclaim agency even when life has stripped so much away.

In this episode, I share:

• Why trauma takes away choice—and how healing gives it back

• What true freedom looks like inside the nervous system

• Why accessing your emotions (even the hard ones) is powerful, not scary

• How reclaiming your internal experience is the foundation for post-traumatic growth

Have you been caught in the loop of everything you've lost since the betrayal or your life-saving divorce? It’s so easy for our brains—especially when we’re still in survival mode—to focus on what’s gone and what may never be again.

In this episode, I want to gently shift that lens with you. I’ll help you see that healing and growth don’t come from ignoring your pain—they come from reclaiming what’s still yours. Your strength. Your voice. Your wisdom. Even if those parts feel buried right now.

I’ll talk about how trauma wires the brain to detect threat, how your nervous system plays a huge role in your healing, and how post-traumatic growth becomes possible when you start to notice what you haven’t lost. I also share a few personal stories that shaped this journey for me.

• Why your brain focuses on loss (and how to shift it)

• The difference between reflecting and ruminating

• How to start identifying what’s still within you

• Why nervous system safety is the foundation of growth

If you’ve ever wondered why calm feels uncomfortable—or even wrong—after living in chaos for so long, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m talking about what happens when your nervous system gets wired to expect betrayal, emotional abuse, and survival mode… and how real peace can actually feel threatening at first. I’ll share a personal story from my own healing and walk you through why this happens and what to do about it.

Whether you're post-divorce or still in the thick of it, this is for you if you're ready to stop mistaking the absence of chaos for true peace—and start actually feeling safe in your body again.

In this episode, I cover:

• Why peace can feel like disorientation, not relief

• How trauma conditions your nervous system to seek chaos

• The difference between shutdown, numbness, and real peace

• How to gently begin rewiring your body for calm, safety, and trust
