✨ Re-Released by Popular Demand — Our #1 Episode of 2025 ✨
This episode was the most listened-to and shared episode of 2025, and for good reason. I’m bringing it back because the message is timeless — and so many of you said it shifted how you see yourself and your relationships.
In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Charleanea Arellano as we explore how unresolved past trauma quietly shapes our current relationships — often without us realizing it.
Together, we unpack the concepts of “prison” and “paradise” in relationships, and how unhealed wounds can keep us stuck in cycles of self-abandonment, people-pleasing, and emotional disconnection. Dr. Charleanea shares both her professional expertise and personal lived experience, offering deep insight into what it truly takes to move from victimhood into freedom.
In this episode, we talk about:
How past trauma shows up in adult relationships
Why ownership (not blame) is the gateway to healing
The role of self-compassion in building intimacy
How to stop recreating old patterns and start choosing differently
Practical tools you can begin using today to unhook from the past
If you’ve ever felt stuck between longing for connection and protecting yourself from pain, this conversation will meet you right where you are.
🎧 Press play — and listen again, or for the first time, to the episode that resonated with thousands.
