Become A Trauma Informed Coach
Are you a coach who's afraid to use the "T" word (Trauma) on your calls? Or you that trauma is a thing, that it happens, but not much more (because you’re not sure if you want to know more)? If any of this resonates (or you just want to know more about how, as coaches, we can support clients carrying trauma), this podcast is for you. Bringing our lack of understanding into the light is necessary to support ourselves—and clients—during calls. Now coach, I am NOT HERE to induce fear or paralysis in your coaching—bleh. I am here to help you 1) see what you’re potentially not seeing, 2) reaffirm 10000% that you absolutely can do something about it, and 3) reinforce the notion that we all start somewhere (it’s ok to be where you’re at right now)! There is SO MUCH you can do to support clients carrying trauma—as well as understanding the limitations we have as coaches—so that they can receive the care they are in search of. I believe that being Trauma-Informed is an Essential Standard of Care for every coach in the coaching industry. I have a vision of every coach being Trauma-Informed.

Spirituality vs. Religion ➡️ Can you have one without the other?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What is Spirituality? What is Religion? How much overlap is there, and can one exist without the other?
Have you ever felt like spirituality was only available through organized religion? Or that questioning religious dogma meant risking exile, shame, abandonment, or spiritual ruin?
In this episode, Lindsay Poelman shares a heartfelt, trauma-informed snippet from her FREE ReSourced program—a powerful and supportive offering for people who are leaving or have left high-demand religions like Mormonism and are seeking to reconnect with their spirituality in a safe, embodied, and empowered COMMUNITY.
Lindsay unpacks:
- The difference between spirituality and religion—and why unbraiding them is essential for spiritual reclamation.
- How patriarchal systems codified and controlled spirituality throughout history.
- The neuroscience of spiritual connection and how your nervous system plays a crucial role.
- How trauma can disconnect us from our intuition, and why it's not your fault.
- What it looks like to return to spiritual safety through your body.
- Multiple definitions and lenses for spirituality—from Jungian archetypes to earth-based wisdom.
This episode isn’t about convincing anyone to leave religion. It’s about honoring your journey, supporting your sovereignty, and offering a space for you to reclaim your inner knowing—on your own terms.
