Ever find yourself asking, “Why am I anxious when everything seems fine?” In this episode, we unpack what’s really going on when your nervous system won’t let you relax—even in calm moments. Drawing from the Trauma Model, I’ll help you understand how trauma wires the brain and body to stay in survival mode, why safety can feel threatening, and what you can do to create lasting calm.

What You’ll Learn:

• How trauma creates chronic anxiety even in “safe” situations

• Why peace can feel unfamiliar or uncomfortable

• Tangible tools to calm your nervous system and build real safety in your life

A powerful mini course designed to help you go beyond just coping. Learn why traditional anxiety tools often fall short and discover trauma-informed strategies that work with your nervous system. This is a must if you’re tired of surface-level fixes and want deep, lasting change.

This 8 week intensive will help you break out of old trauma patterns, restore emotional balance, and finally feel like you’re living again. Perfect for those ready to shift out of chronic anxiety, overthinking, and people-pleasing and step into confidence, peace, and clarity.

Burnout is one of the biggest hidden struggles therapists and healers face—yet no one really talks about it until it’s too late. If you've ever felt exhausted, emotionally drained, or even questioned whether you can keep doing this work, you're not alone. But burnout isn’t just a byproduct of working in the mental health field—it’s a sign that something deeper needs to change.

In this episode, we break down the real reasons why most therapists burn out, including: ✅ The hidden trauma response that keeps therapists stuck in exhaustion ✅ Why the rescuer role leads to emotional depletion and prevents client healing ✅ How to shift from over-identifying with clients to becoming a powerful Healing Artist ✅ The key boundaries every therapist MUST set to sustain a thriving practice ✅ Simple yet effective strategies to protect your energy while doing deep, meaningful work

Burnout is NOT a requirement for being a great therapist. There is a better way. Tune in now to learn how to prevent it and reclaim your passion for healing.
