15 Minutes of Motivation
The Night Before the Wedding
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, Kate shares a deeply personal story of healing, trauma, and the wisdom of the body. After attending her first wedding in 16 years, she notices her hands trembling as she gets ready, only to realise her nervous system is reacting to a long-buried memory of abuse.
Kate explains how trauma lives in the body long before the conscious mind recognises it, drawing on her own experiences with PTSD, fibromyalgia, and grief. She also shares the simple but powerful tool that helped her reset: hearing the words “You are safe” from someone she trusts.
If you live with past trauma, anxiety, or PTSD, or simply want to understand how our bodies hold our stories, this episode offers gentle insight, hope, and possibly some practical lessons for your own journey, that may help.
