If you’re tired — tired of the triggers, the emotional spirals, the anxiety that seems to come out of nowhere — you’re not broken. You’re human.In this episode of In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing, we explore what’s really happening when you feel exhausted by your emotions. Those reactions — the panic, the shut down, the overthinking — aren’t proof of failure. They’re signals from the battlefield of pain you’ve already survived.Your body isn’t betraying you. It’s reminding you.That ache, that reaction, that fear — it’s not this moment demanding attention, it’s the past asking to finally be met with compassion.You have a choice: to treat your feelings with the same rejection they once received… or to offer them what they needed all along — your care, your company, your calm.Every time you soften toward yourself instead of shaming the trigger, you prove something sacred:You are worth loving.You are safe with you.You are building the bridge home.#HealingJourney #CPTSDRecovery #EmotionalHealing #TraumaRecovery #SelfCompassion #NervousSystemHealing #TriggerHealing #InnerHealing #ComplexPTSD #EmotionalRegulation #HealingPodcast #InTheNudePodcast

What if you’re already closer than you think to the life you’ve been dreaming of?Healing isn’t a straight line — it’s an ebb and flow, a series of experiments in becoming. In this episode of In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing, we explore what it really means to measure progress — not by perfection, but by the quiet moments of growth you often overlook.You’re learning new skills: how to rest without guilt, how to play again, how to hold failure without shame. You’re learning to flex your thoughts and ideals, to give yourself grace, and to take up space even though you were taught to shrink.This is not about getting it “right.”It’s about noticing what’s working, celebrating the small wins, and trusting that every moment of awareness moves you forward.You’re not behind. You’re becoming.#HealingJourney #CPTSDRecovery #PersonalGrowth #InnerHealing #SelfCompassion #EmotionalHealing #TraumaHealing #ComplexPTSD #SelfAcceptance #GrowthMindset #HealingPodcast #InTheNudePodcast

We were taught to fit inside boxes : good or bad, success or failure, right or wrong. But life, healing, and growth were never meant to be that small.

In this episode of In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing, we talk about what happens when we finally let those boxes fall away — when we stop seeing life in binaries and start allowing space for both/and.

Because real healing happens in flexibility. Just like a body that only lifts weights without stretching, a heart or mind that refuses to bend eventually breaks.
Here, we explore how releasing old rules and rigid expectations opens the door to more joy, peace, and authenticity.

What if failure was just a beginning?
What if loss could hold both grief and rebirth?
What if you could feel sadness and hope, and both could be true?

It’s time to move past either/or thinking and step into the expansive, nuanced, deeply human truth of living fully alive.

There are seasons when your soul just feels tired — when even hope feels heavy, and all you want is to stop trying for a while. In this In the Nude episode, we’re talking about the quiet ache of melancholy and emotional exhaustion — how it often comes after giving too much, caring too deeply, and pushing far past your window of tolerance.

This isn’t about “fixing your attitude.” It’s about honoring your humanity. We’ll talk about why this drained, numb, foggy place shows up — how it’s a natural signal from your nervous system, not a failure — and how to refill what’s been emptied through gentleness, creativity, rest, and tiny glimmers of joy.

You don’t need to be perky or positive to be healing. You just need to be honest — and kind to yourself in the quiet.

For so many of us with trauma, “home” has never been a place—it’s been something we’ve searched for in other people, in achievements, or in fantasies. When life felt unsafe, we learned to disconnect from ourselves, to dissociate, to silence our gut instincts just to survive.But true healing begins when we return home—to ourselves. 🌱In this episode of *In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing*, I share how to begin finding home within your own body and mind: learning to hear yourself again, reconnecting with your gut, and practicing grounding so you can stop abandoning yourself. This isn’t about perfection—it’s about learning the human, normal things we missed along the way, and choosing presence over old coping.When we rebuild that inner safety, we stop surviving and start thriving. And the life we’ve been longing for becomes possible—because we’re finally here for it.Season 2 episode 2\#CPTSDRecovery #HealingJourney #InnerHealing #TraumaRecovery #SelfGrowth #ComingHomeToYourself #GroundingPractice #OvercomingDissociation

Sometimes the hardest loss isn’t a person—it’s the story we told ourselves about what life should look like. The relationship we thought would save us. The dream that didn’t unfold the way we planned. The fantasy version of life that felt safer than reality.

In this raw episode of In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing, I share the painful but powerful process of mourning the fantasy, facing what is, and finding a way forward. Healing after trauma often means realizing we fell in love with an idea, not reality—and sitting in the grief of that truth can feel unbearable.

But when we come back home to ourselves, when we accept reality with all its warts and cracks, we finally gain the power to choose. From that place, we can take the next step—not from illusion, but from truth.

If you’ve ever felt stuck between the life you imagined and the one you’re living, this episode is a reminder that healing begins with honesty, acceptance, and compassion for yourself in the mess of it all.

Welcome to Season Two of *In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing*! 🌱 In this first episode, we’re looking both backward and forward—because healing and self-growth require both reflection and vision.Part of reaching the *“there”* we long for begins with pausing to notice how far we’ve already come. Reflection reminds us of the growth we’ve earned, the resilience we’ve built, and the ways we’ve already shifted. But creating the future we desire also means learning to sit in it, feel it, and act as if it’s already here.In this episode, I share how to practice embodying your dream reality now, and how to choose aligned actions that bring that vision to life. Because the “there” you’re moving toward isn’t built in the distance—it’s created in the present, choice by choice.#HealingJourney #SelfGrowth #CPTSDRecovery #PersonalTransformation #Manifestation #InnerHealing #AlignedAction #ReflectAndGrow

When we’ve lived in unsafe environments, we learn to survive by shaping ourselves around others—picking up their feelings, anticipating their moods, and giving away pieces of who we are just to feel safe. Even when we grow, heal, and reach safer places in life, those old patterns don’t just disappear. They can still be triggered, pulling us back into an “old self” we thought we’d outgrown.

In this vulnerable episode of In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing, I share personal stories from my own journey and break down what it really takes to move forward. It’s not about becoming “perfect” or never slipping back. It’s about sitting with ourselves in those moments without judgment, accepting failure as part of the process, and offering compassion to the parts of us that once kept us safe.

Healing CPTSD and self-growth aren’t about erasing your old self—they’re about honoring it, understanding it, and choosing to move forward with gentleness and truth.

In this episode of In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing, we dive into one of the most powerful truths of recovery and growth: every path in healing, thriving, and creating the life you desire always leads back to you.

It isn’t the external—the validation, the achievements, or the relationships—that builds the life you long for. It’s the way you show up for yourself. Healing means rebuilding your relationship with the person in the mirror, choosing to create the greatest love story you’ll ever know: the one between you and you.

If you’ve ever felt lost, disconnected, or searching outside yourself for worth or belonging, this episode is a reminder that the foundation of everything you desire begins within.

What if the place you’re standing right now—the messy, uncertain, or even painful chapter of life—wasn’t a mistake, but exactly where you’re meant to be?In this episode of In the Nude: The Naked Truth of Healing, I break down the life-changing truth that where you are is where you need to be. Through raw stories from my own past, I share how this shift in perspective helped me stop fighting the present and start building my future.You’ll walk away with tangible, practical ways to adjust how you see your current situation—so you can move forward with clarity, resilience, and gratitude. Because every next step begins here. Forward starts with acceptance. Forward starts with you.#HealingJourney #Acceptance #GratitudePractice #TraumaRecovery #PersonalGrowth #InnerHealing #RebuildingYourself

What if the greatest love story of your life isn’t with someone else—it’s with you?

Every time you look in the mirror, you have a choice:
See the enemy who hasn’t “arrived” yet… or the love of your life, the one who’s stuck with you through everything, sacrificed to keep you safe, and carried you through the unthinkable.

In this raw, heartfelt episode, I share my own journey from self-combat to self-devotion. Together, we’ll explore how we unknowingly take on the abuse others gave us and replay it daily through gap thinking, impossible expectations, and the endless chase for worth we already have.

I’ll walk you through practical steps to:

• Shift from self-criticism to self-compassion

• “Date yourself” and get to know who you really are

• Replace perfectionism with presence and patience

Because when you stop fighting yourself and start loving yourself, you open the door to the kind of peace, worth, and joy you’ve been searching for all along.

That tight, trapped feeling—the one where you keep hitting the same wall or running in circles—isn’t because you’re lazy, broken, or unmotivated. It’s because you’ve been reaching for worth and love in all the places outside yourself.

If you grew up with conditional love or never felt fully worthy as a child, it’s only natural to keep grasping for that validation now. But when worth is tied to achievement or approval, it’s like chasing smoke—your hands are always empty, and the frustration builds.

In this episode, I unpack why we feel stuck, the roots of that hamster-wheel cycle, and practical ways to step off it. You’ll learn how to connect back to the one person who can truly give you the love and worth you’ve been searching for all along—you.

We chase joy like it’s hiding somewhere in the distance—waiting for us at some elusive milestone, success, or version of ourselves we’ve yet to become. But the truth? The life you want, the *thrive* you crave, doesn’t live “over there.” It lives here—in this moment, in *you.*In this episode, we explore the often-overlooked truth that you’re already equipped for the life you desire. You just haven’t been shown how to *be* in it.I walk through the foundational skills that lead us there—like nervous system regulation, emotional allowance, and gentle curiosity toward ourselves—and how they stack to unlock the most powerful shift: the art of being.With raw honesty and practical insight, I share how this journey is unfolding in my own life—what tools are working, what didn’t, and what being present really looks like when the past still echoes.This isn’t about perfection. It’s about learning to be with yourself right where you are—and discovering the deep joy that’s already waiting.

In this episode, we dive deep into what it really means to *come home to yourself.*So many of us are walking through life in survival mode—shaped by old patterns, buried under coping tools we picked up just to make it through. But beneath all of it, *you’re still there.* Whole. Sacred. Powerful.This episode is part story, part gentle guide, as I walk you through my own messy, raw journey of peeling back the overwhelm and slowly—sometimes painfully—unlearning what I thought was “me” so I could finally reconnect with who I’ve always been.You’ll hear practical tools, mindset shifts, and heart-opening truths that have helped me find joy *in the process,* not just the outcome.✨You are not your coping. You are not your pain. You are the spirit underneath it all—waiting to be seen, loved, and welcomed back home.

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, we’re talking about one of the hardest—and most transformative—steps on the healing journey: releasing.

So many of us believe we have to get “there” before we can finally feel what we’re longing for. We hustle for worth, strive for achievement, and cling to the idea that once we arrive, then we’ll feel loved, important, valued, and finally at peace.

But the truth is, “there” doesn’t exist the way we think it does. What we’re truly chasing isn’t a destination—it’s a feeling. And the unthinkable truth is: we can access that feeling right now, without waiting for life to be perfect.

In this vulnerable episode, I share how I’ve learned (and am still learning) to:

• Release the obsessive chase for arrival

• Recognize the feelings underneath our big goals

• Find peace, worth, and joy in the smallest present moments

• Connect to nature, to glimmers, and to the quiet magic around us

• Give ourselves the patience, grace, and love that others never gave us

Releasing isn’t giving up—it’s the doorway to living. And it’s one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. 💛

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, we’re unraveling one of the deepest wounds so many of us carry: the belief that we are somehow broken.

We look at the coping patterns we’ve developed—the ways we shut down, dissociate, people-please, overwork—and we see evidence of our flaws. But here’s the truth: you’re not broken. Your spirit isn’t gone—it’s hiding.

Your soul is incredibly strong and brave. It found ways to survive unimaginable things. What feels fractured now is the echo of the brilliant strategies that once kept you safe. And the path to thriving isn’t in fixing yourself—it’s in finding the part of you still hiding in the dark corners of old traumas and sitting with them in compassion and grace.

In this episode, I share how to:

• Recognize that your “brokenness” is actually survival wisdom

• Gently find and sit with the hidden parts of yourself still stuck in the past

• Offer the compassion and safety you always needed

• Understand why this work is the true path to thriving, peace, and self-love

You are not broken. You are waiting to be seen, loved, and welcomed back home. 💛

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, we’re digging deep into a cycle so many of us know too well: learning… failing… and then beating ourselves up for it.

We know the truth—that growth requires mistakes, that learning means trying, falling, and trying again. Yet somehow, we still sit at the table expecting perfection from ourselves. Why? Because that pressure for perfection was placed on us long ago—and we’ve been carrying it ever since.

In this episode, I share my own recent experience getting caught in this very cycle, and how I found my way back to myself with compassion instead of shame. We’ll talk about:

• Why we keep falling into patterns of self-judgment

• How these cycles actually affect us and keep us stuck

• Practical ways to break free and create the safety we never had

• How to replace self-hate with grace, and sit with ourselves in the “broken” without trying to fix it all

Because the healing we’re searching for doesn’t come from perfection—it comes from learning to love ourselves right in the messy middle. 💛

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, we’re talking about one of the biggest traps in healing—and in life: the obsession with results.

So often, we’re fixated on the outcome. Did we change enough? Heal enough? Achieve enough? It’s our ego’s way of chasing worth, constantly grasping for proof that we’re good enough, lovable enough, safe enough.

But here’s the truth: when you let go of the results and sink into the process—when you choose to simply be here and enjoy the now—you don’t just find more peace and thrive. You actually end up creating more of the results you wanted in the first place.

In this episode, I share how shifting from outcome-driven living to presence-driven living transformed my healing journey, my joy, and my sense of worth. And I’ll give you practical ways to start embracing the moment instead of living for the finish line.

Because the life you want isn’t waiting at the end. It’s happening right now. 💛

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, we quiet the noise and come back to the simple, grounding truth of healing: start where you are.

With so much information, advice, and pressure on how to heal “the right way,” it’s easy to feel like you’re doing it wrong or not doing enough. But the one thing I’ve learned over and over is this: healing is deeply personal, deeply intuitive, and there is no one-size-fits-all roadmap.

This episode is a reminder that your healing doesn’t have to look like anyone else’s. You don’t need to be able to do it all. You don’t need to judge yourself for what you can’t yet do. Instead, meet yourself exactly where you are, with what you can offer yourself today — and let that be enough.

When you give yourself permission to heal at your own pace, you create real, lasting change — rooted in self-compassion, not shame. 💛

In this episode of In the Nude: Naked Truth About Healing, I get raw and real about what it actually looks like to stay with yourself in the middle of a trigger. Not in theory — in practice.

Healing isn’t about never being triggered. It’s about learning how to stay connected to yourself while the crazy comes out to play — and how to come back with compassion when you get pulled under.

I walk you through 3 vulnerable, personal situations where I was fully triggered, and step-by-step, share what I did to stay with myself and return to safety. This isn’t about perfection — it’s about building real muscle memory for when life hits hard.

If you’ve ever wondered how to actually stay present with yourself in the hard moments, this episode gives you practical tools you can start using right where you are. 💛
