BONUS Episode: Healing Beyond Trauma: Why Remembering Your Strength Matters as Much as Tending the Wound

In this episode, I talk about what it means to live through seasons that bring us to our knees and how healing isn’t only about examining our wounds, but also about remembering our strength.

We explore:

• Why focusing only on pain can keep us stuck
• How strength builds safety in the nervous system
• Why perspective shifts change not just how things feel, but how life unfolds
• Small, practical ways to reconnect with your strength when you feel depleted

This conversation is for anyone navigating grief, illness, burnout, survival mode, or a dark night of the soul. You don’t need to have it all figured out. You just need a place to start.

Healing becomes sustainable when we include strength in the practice.

If this resonates, I’d love to hear how you remember your strength.

And if it feels helpful, share it with someone who might need it right now.
