Heal Your Trauma Find Your Voice

You told yourself you’d stop checking email after dinner…But somehow, it’s 11pm again, and your laptop is still open.

If you’re a high-achieving leader who wants to set healthy boundaries at work, but you keep getting pulled back in out of fear you’ll drop the ball, this episode is for you.

We’re talking about what’s really behind the late-night work cycle, and why most leadership advice about work/life balance completely misses the ...

You’re spending more time mediating team drama than leading your team—and it’s exhausting. One person is constantly checking up on their coworkers, calling out unfinished tasks, and stressing over work that’s not even theirs.

In high-performing teams, breakdowns in communication can happen fast—and when they do, it’s tempting to either ignore it or push for answers. But what if the silence isn’t defiance... but a sign of Cactus Trust—a trauma-informed response that shuts others out to feel safe?

Have you ever felt unsafe or on edge in a relationship — even when you're with someone who truly loves you?

For trauma survivors, trust doesn’t always come naturally. Your nervous system stays stuck in survival mode, bracing for rejection, criticism, or abandonment — even in safe relationships.

In this episode, I sit down with my husband, Christopher Campanile, for a real, vulnerable conversation about why trauma makes it hard t...

Trust is the foundation of every great relationship—but if trust were simple, we wouldn’t keep repeating the same painful patterns. In this episode, I sit down with my husband, and fellow trauma survivor, Christopher, to explore a different kind of trust—Kindred Trust—where both people feel safe to be themselves without fear of judgment or rejection.

We unpack:

Have you ever promised yourself you wouldn’t trust the "wrong" person again, only to be blindsided when they broke your trust—or walked away? 

Many trauma survivors follow patterns when deciding whether or not someone is trustworthy, not realizing that their perception might be shaped by past wounds rather than present reality.

When was the last time you found yourself saying “Yes” before you've even finished hearing the request... only to regret it later?
