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.

What if the parts of you that sabotage, overachieve, numb out, or shut down… were just trying to help?

In this 2 part series, I sit down with trauma therapist and IFS expert Kathy Kinghorn to explore how Internal Family Systems (IFS) gives us a radical, compassionate map of the human psyche.

✨ Topics We Cover:

• What IFS actually is (& how it mirrors your external family)
• Why they're ALL trying to help you
• The neuroscience of parts

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.

Someone on my email list asked me a question, so I thought it'd be helpful to talk about on today's episode.  

“Why bring politics into nervous system regulation?”

If you’ve ever wondered whether you should be bringing your values into your coaching, your healing, or your business...

If you’ve been told nervous system work is “neutral”...

If you’ve been praised for being the “quiet one,” the “good girl,” or the one who never rocks the boat...

This is the episode you need to hear.

I share:

• Why nervous system regulation is rarely apolitical (even if yours feels that way)
• How public policy and systemic harm get embedded in our bodies—and passed down
• What dentists, trauma survivors, and traffic stops have in common (yep, really)
• Why silence isn't always sacred—and can sometimes be complicity in disguise

I also get real about:

• The moment I stopped performing palatable neutrality
• Why I want my kids to know I used my voice
• How to reclaim your unique way of creating change 

But don’t just read about it—listen in.

The nuance lives inside the conversation. And the invitation at the end? It might just change your life.

We always hear about bad spending habits—but no one talks about the worst ways we try to save money.

In this episode, I share a personal story from a family gathering that led me to reflect upon what it really costs us to make "practical" money decisions that compromise our wellbeing, our joy, and sometimes even our health.

You'll hear:

• The one line from an A/C installer that stopped me in my tracks.
• The surprising connection between attachment styles and money habits.
• How trauma, nervous system dysregulation, and childhood conditioning shape our spending choices.
• Why some of your worst spending patterns might actually be self-protective—and how to shift that with compassion.
• Prompts to explore the energy behind your past decisions .
• A loving challenge to stop glorifying suffering in the name of saving.

Whether you tend to over-give, under-spend, or freeze when it comes to investing in yourself—this episode is here to bring awareness to ultimately rewire your money relationship with clarity & care.

🎧 Listen now to explore the hidden cost of staying stuck—so you can start making decisions that support the version of you you're becoming.
