In this episode of Through a Trauma-Informed Lens: Soma, Psyche & Soul, I gently challenge one of the most harmful myths in the coaching and healing world - the idea that we need to be fully healed, clear, or perfect before we can guide others. If you've ever felt the weight of self-doubt, imposter syndrome, or the voice that says "I'm not ready yet", this episode is for you.
I invite you to pause with me - to take a breath, check in with your body, your breath, your emotions - and remember that your lived experience is not something to fix or hide. It's your gold. It's your medicine.
Join me in exploring how we can meet ourselves with kindness, honour the wisdom we’ve earned through life experiences, and walk the path of embodied leadership — not from a place of not-enoughness, but from presence and our shared humanity.
In this episode, I explore:
The myth of “you must be fully healed to guide others” — and why it’s not true
Why presence, not perfection, is the foundation of trauma-informed somatic work
The power of attunement, nervous system regulation, and embodied safety
How your lived experience is your unique medicine
