What if the health struggles you’re facing aren’t just about diet, exercise, or willpower — but about unresolved trauma stored in your body?

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by trauma-informed confidence and relationship coach Tori Jenae to explore the deep connection between emotional health, the nervous system, and physical wellbeing.

Tori shares her personal healing journey, from a traumatic upbringing to decades of study in psychology, somatic work, and functional health practices. Together, we break down how chronic stress and trauma can manifest in everything from gut and hormone imbalances to burnout, perfectionism, and people-pleasing — and what you can actually do about it.

You’ll learn:

• How trauma gets stored in the body and impacts digestion, hormones, and energy

• The signs your body may still be stuck in fight-or-flight mode

• Why completing the stress cycle is essential for long-term health

• How perfectionism and people-pleasing can be early indicators of unresolved trauma

• Practical tools to start regulating your nervous system today

• Why self-compassion and experimentation are key to lasting change

Whether you’ve experienced “big T” trauma, chronic stress, or simply feel stuck despite “doing everything right,” this episode will help you approach your health goals from a deeper, more compassionate place.
