In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Leah Aguirre, LCSW—a licensed clinical social worker, certified EMDR therapist, relationship coach, and trauma expert based in San Diego.

Leah’s work focuses on deep healing from complex trauma, including childhood abuse, domestic violence, and dating violence. Together, we explore how past trauma impacts the way we show up in relationships, why so many women feel like they’re “too much,” and what it really means to heal.

We talk about the difference between asking for too much and asking the wrong person, how trauma bonds form, and the journey back to self-trust. If you’ve ever felt unseen, unheard, or unsure of your worth, this episode is for you.
