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.

The many faces of Betrayal
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
For centuries, we’ve been told to move on, stay quiet, be grateful, or trust the system—whether that system was religious, medical, familial, or societal. But what if the very institutions we were taught to trust are where the deepest betrayals took root?
In this raw, deeply personal episode, I walk you through a trauma-informed lens of betrayal in all its forms—and why naming it is not "playing the victim," but a powerful act of nervous system repair and reclamation.
We explore:
- 🔥 What betrayal trauma actually is (and why it lives in the body)
- 💔 The hidden cost of religious, medical, and societal betrayals
- 😶🌫️ How women especially are conditioned to betray themselves to belong
- 🧠 What neuroscience and trauma research say about repair, healing, and hope
- 💡 Why witnessing ruptures is sacred—not shameful
- 🌿 My own story of healing from personal and systemic betrayals
If you've ever felt dismissed, gaslit, silenced, or ashamed for being too sensitive or too much—this one is for you. Your wounds are real. And your healing? It’s revolutionary.
