Alisa Gracheva joins the show to tackle the invisible force that can secretly halt your authority and stall your business scale: unresolved trauma and deep-seated limiting beliefs. Alisa, who has walked a powerful healing journey herself, breaks down what trauma truly is and how itâs encoded in your physiology as negative beliefs that keep you playing small.
This conversation is the deep dive into the mindset block and unseen resistance that we often experience, including:
đ The shocking truth about how negative beliefs like "I'm not good enough" act as a trauma response, not a personal flaw.
đ§ How emotional numbness, anxiety, and self-sabotaging coping mechanisms (like drinking) are your body's signal that your voice is suppressed and your potential is unfulfilled.
đ§ââď¸ The power of Somatic Work and EMDR in literally rewriting the neural pathways that are holding your leadership back.
đ§ Why comparing your struggle to others is a form of self-minimization that prevents you from setting healthy boundaries.
⨠The essential first step to becoming your "strongest support system" and attracting meaningful, aligned connections and support systems.
If youâve been feeling a frustrating internal disconnectâknowing youâre capable of more but lacking the clarity and unwavering confidence to unlock that potentialâthis episode is your roadmap to the healing that precedes your greatest expansion. It all starts with you, and Alisa is here to remind you that your personal power is waiting on the other side of this discomfort.
