Healing Doesn’t Have to Hurt: The Truth About Trauma, Boundaries & Becoming You With Emmy

What if healing didn’t have to feel like breaking yourself open again and again? In this powerful episode, we sit down with Emmy Marie, a certified trauma-informed coach, NARM practitioner, and educator who’s helping survivors of toxic relationships rewrite the story of who they are.

Emmy shares her deeply personal journey through trauma and recovery — and how she turned her pain into purpose. Together, we unpack some of the biggest myths about healing, redefine what boundaries really are (hint: it’s not about being “mean”), and talk about how to reclaim your identity when trauma has shaped your sense of self.

This episode is a soft landing for high achievers, sensitive souls, and anyone who’s ever felt like they have to earn their worth through pain or perfection.

We dive into:

• What trauma-informed healing actually looks like (no more retraumatizing yourself in the name of growth)

• The difference between productive discomfort and unnecessary suffering

• Real-life ways to set boundaries without burning out

• Emmy’s most powerful strategies for nervous system regulation and self-trust

Lightning Round wisdom, vulnerable insights, and permission to rest — you do not want to miss this one.
