You’ve Been Lied To

Most of us were taught a version of healing that doesn’t actually help us heal. We were told to dig, analyze, process, talk it through, and push harder. Yet so many women still feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected from pleasure, and trapped in old patterns that won’t budge.In this episode, I break down why:Trauma doesn’t resolve from insight alone. Your nervous system needs real, felt moments of safety, steadiness, and goodness to rewrite what it learned in survival. We explore why “fixing yourself” keeps you looping, how chronic symptoms often come from a lifetime of carrying too much without enough support, and why pleasure, connection, and resourcing are essential, not extra.I talk about:• Why pain gets all the attention and keeps you stuck• How your nervous system learns safety through experience, not effort• Pendulation, resourcing, and why they protect you from overwhelm• Why so many women can name emotions but can’t feel them• How chronic fight-or-flight shuts down joy, desire, and intimacy• Why you aren’t broken—you’re wired for survival• What actually helps your body shift from chronic struggle to chronic thrivingThis episode is for women who are tired of analyzing themselves, tired of chasing healing, and ready for a different way. One that honors the body, honors your lived experience, and reconnects you with the parts of you that have been waiting underneath it all.If you’re craving aliveness, connection, or the sense that you’re finally coming back to yourself (or discovering yourself for the first time), this one is for you.FOR WOMEN WHO ARE TIRED OF TRYING SO HARD:This episode is especially for you if you’ve tried the diets, the supplements, the breathwork, the mindset tricks, the holistic treatments, and still feel stuck in the same patterns.
