Feeling stuck, anxious, or disconnected? It’s not because you’re broken—it’s your nervous system trying to protect you.
In this validating episode, Kelsey and Lindsay chat with trauma practitioner and somatic coach Mari Leigh about what trauma really is (hint: it’s not just the event, but your body’s response), and how true healing doesn’t require you to relive or even fully remember the pain.
Mari unpacks how unresolved trauma (big or small) can quietly shape your sense of safety, self-worth, and even your ability to manifest. They explore how trauma shows up through things like perfectionism, people-pleasing, and chronic overthinking—and why common healing methods don’t work for everyone.
What you’ll discover:
- How to identify hyper, hypo, and freeze states
- Why nervous system regulation is the real key to healing
- What somatic healing is—and how to start doing it
- How to stop gaslighting your pain and feel safe again
- Why your healing pace is exactly right
- A beautiful guided body scan with Mari to ground and soothe you
Whether you're deep into your healing journey or just starting out, this episode is equal parts soothing and empowering. Just what your nervous system is calling for!
