Trigger Warning: This episode contains discussions of sexual assault and trauma. 


Brenda shares her deeply personal journey of surviving sexual assault as a teenager and how the trauma, buried for years, later manifested as chronic, undiagnosed pain. She opens up about the disconnect she felt from her body, the struggle to understand where her pain was coming from, and the powerful healing journey that followed. Learning valuable lessons along the way, gaining the courage to break through the silence, and setting herself free from the chains of an unspoken past. 


Through holistic healing modalities, Brenda discovered how trauma is stored in the body—and, more importantly, how to release it. Rising stronger than ever before. She opens up about reclaiming her power, rediscovering her worth, and loving herself unapologetically. 

This episode is for anyone who has ever felt disconnected from themselves, struggled with silenced invisible wounds, or wondered if their body is holding onto something unspoken. Brenda’s story is a raw and honest reminder that healing doesn’t always happen the way we expect—but when we learn to listen to our bodies, we can begin to reclaim our power.
