🎙 Episode Summary:
This week, we dive into the emotional deep end with Gabi Da Gama, a connection and purpose coach who's basically here to help you find your way back to yourself—without the soul-sucking corporate scripts or the “good girl” obedience you were probably raised with.
Gabi shares her story of emotional shutdown (yes, being literally tied to a hospital bed as a toddler will do that to you), what it means to reconnect with your purpose, and how repressed emotions like anger, shame, and guilt shape our entire adult lives—usually without us realising. We talk about why women often hit midlife and go, “Wait, who the hell am I?” and how your childhood beliefs still run the show until you decide to rewire them.
We talk about:
The “invisible script” we start following in childhood
Why midlife is often the crisis and the gift
Trauma with a small “t” – why your pain still counts
Emotional repression and its impact on the body
The cultural shutdown of anger, especially for women
How emotions like guilt and shame are designed to keep you in line
The shadow self and how people in your life are holding up mirrors
What relief really feels like—and how to actually get there
