Have you ever felt stuck in a cycle of starting and stopping—no matter how much you want to feel better?
In this powerful two-part conversation, I’m joined by trauma healing guide Mandy Harvey to explore what’s really happening beneath the surface when we can’t seem to stay consistent with our health habits.
In Part 1, Mandy shares her courageous personal story and helps us begin to understand the deep connection between trauma, resistance, and our nervous system.
Whether you've been hard on yourself for not having enough motivation or you’ve been wondering why change is so hard to sustain—this conversation will help you see things through a new, more compassionate lens.
You are not broken. Your body is responding exactly the way it was wired to survive. And healing is possible.

Mandy’s story of trauma, survival, and healing
The hidden cost of perfectionism and emotional stress
Why we keep falling back into old patterns (even when we feel better)
How trauma is stored in the body
