Many women feel trapped in their own bodies, through disordered eating, anxiety, or unresolved birth trauma, but few realize these struggles often share the same root.
In this episode, Brigid opens up about her personal journey, connecting years of anorexia and binge-purge cycles with the impact of birth trauma. She shares how both experiences are tied to a deep loss of control, a nervous system that feels unsafe, and the challenge of learning to trust your body again.
You’ll discover:
-
Why disordered eating and birth trauma often stem from the same underlying issues.
-
How healing begins when you uncover the root cause instead of just “fixing behaviors.”
-
Why rebuilding trust with your body is a lifelong practice, not a one-time fix.
-
How faith and surrender can guide your body back to safety, peace, and freedom.
If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body or like you’ll never fully trust yourself again, this episode will help you start rebuilding that trust, step by step, day by day.
