For so many of us with trauma, “home” has never been a place—it’s been something we’ve searched for in other people, in achievements, or in fantasies. When life felt unsafe, we learned to disconnect from ourselves, to dissociate, to silence our gut instincts just to survive.But true healing begins when we return home—to ourselves. 🌱In this episode of *In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing*, I share how to begin finding home within your own body and mind: learning to hear yourself again, reconnecting with your gut, and practicing grounding so you can stop abandoning yourself. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about learning the human, normal things we missed along the way, and choosing presence over old coping.When we rebuild that inner safety, we stop surviving and start thriving. And the life we’ve been longing for becomes possible—because we’re finally here for it.Season 2 episode 2\#CPTSDRecovery #HealingJourney #InnerHealing #TraumaRecovery #SelfGrowth #ComingHomeToYourself #GroundingPractice #OvercomingDissociation

Sometimes the hardest loss isn’t a person—it’s the story we told ourselves about what life should look like. The relationship we thought would save us. The dream that didn’t unfold the way we planned. The fantasy version of life that felt safer than reality.

In this raw episode of In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing, I share the painful but powerful process of mourning the fantasy, facing what is, and finding a way forward. Healing after trauma often means realizing we fell in love with an idea, not reality—and sitting in the grief of that truth can feel unbearable.

But when we come back home to ourselves, when we accept reality with all its warts and cracks, we finally gain the power to choose. From that place, we can take the next step—not from illusion, but from truth.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between the life you imagined and the one you’re living, this episode is a reminder that healing begins with honesty, acceptance, and compassion for yourself in the mess of it all.

Welcome to Season Two of *In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing*! 🌱 In this first episode, we’re looking both backward and forward—because healing and self-growth require both reflection and vision.Part of reaching the *“there”* we long for begins with pausing to notice how far we’ve already come. Reflection reminds us of the growth we’ve earned, the resilience we’ve built, and the ways we’ve already shifted. But creating the future we desire also means learning to sit in it, feel it, and act as if it’s already here.In this episode, I share how to practice embodying your dream reality now, and how to choose aligned actions that bring that vision to life. Because the “there” you’re moving toward isn’t built in the distance—it’s created in the present, choice by choice.#HealingJourney #SelfGrowth #CPTSDRecovery #PersonalTransformation #Manifestation #InnerHealing #AlignedAction #ReflectAndGrow

When we’ve lived in unsafe environments, we learn to survive by shaping ourselves around others—picking up their feelings, anticipating their moods, and giving away pieces of who we are just to feel safe. Even when we grow, heal, and reach safer places in life, those old patterns don’t just disappear. They can still be triggered, pulling us back into an “old self” we thought we’d outgrown.

In this vulnerable episode of In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing, I share personal stories from my own journey and break down what it really takes to move forward. It’s not about becoming “perfect” or never slipping back. It’s about sitting with ourselves in those moments without judgment, accepting failure as part of the process, and offering compassion to the parts of us that once kept us safe.

Healing CPTSD and self-growth aren’t about erasing your old self—they’re about honoring it, understanding it, and choosing to move forward with gentleness and truth.

In this episode of In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing, we dive into one of the most powerful truths of recovery and growth: every path in healing, thriving, and creating the life you desire always leads back to you.

It isn’t the external—the validation, the achievements, or the relationships—that builds the life you long for. It’s the way you show up for yourself. Healing means rebuilding your relationship with the person in the mirror, choosing to create the greatest love story you’ll ever know: the one between you and you.

If you’ve ever felt lost, disconnected, or searching outside yourself for worth or belonging, this episode is a reminder that the foundation of everything you desire begins within.

What if the greatest love story of your life isn’t with someone else—it’s with you?

Every time you look in the mirror, you have a choice:
See the enemy who hasn’t “arrived” yet… or the love of your life, the one who’s stuck with you through everything, sacrificed to keep you safe, and carried you through the unthinkable.

In this raw, heartfelt episode, I share my own journey from self-combat to self-devotion. Together, we’ll explore how we unknowingly take on the abuse others gave us and replay it daily through gap thinking, impossible expectations, and the endless chase for worth we already have.

I’ll walk you through practical steps to:

• Shift from self-criticism to self-compassion

• “Date yourself” and get to know who you really are

• Replace perfectionism with presence and patience

Because when you stop fighting yourself and start loving yourself, you open the door to the kind of peace, worth, and joy you’ve been searching for all along.

That tight, trapped feeling—the one where you keep hitting the same wall or running in circles—isn’t because you’re lazy, broken, or unmotivated. It’s because you’ve been reaching for worth and love in all the places outside yourself.

If you grew up with conditional love or never felt fully worthy as a child, it’s only natural to keep grasping for that validation now. But when worth is tied to achievement or approval, it’s like chasing smoke—your hands are always empty, and the frustration builds.

In this episode, I unpack why we feel stuck, the roots of that hamster-wheel cycle, and practical ways to step off it. You’ll learn how to connect back to the one person who can truly give you the love and worth you’ve been searching for all along—you.
