Q&A: How to Talk About Your Trauma Without Over-Explaining, Quiet a Racing Mind at Night & Heal Without Reliving the Past

Q&A: How to Talk About Your Trauma Without Over-Explaining, Quiet a Racing Mind at Night & Heal Without Reliving the Past

You finally crawl into bed exhausted, and that is the exact moment your mind decides to replay every conversation and solve every problem you have ever had. In this Q&A episode, Britt answers four thoughtful listener questions through a body-first lens: when and how to tell a partner you have CPTSD, what is really happening in your nervous system when you are tired but wired at night, whether you can heal trauma with somatic experiencing without revisiting specific memories, and how to help a highly logical partner understand your healing journey. If you have ever felt like your reactions do not make sense, this episode is a steady reminder that they do, and that healing can happen through the body in the present moment rather than by reliving the past.

You're Not Lost, You're Changing: The Nervous System Reason Change Feels So Hard

Lately you might catch yourself thinking, "I don't feel like myself anymore," and wondering what is wrong with you. In this deeply personal solo episode, Britt offers a different possibility: that not feeling like yourself is often exactly what growth feels like. She explores why change feels so disorienting in the body, why your nervous system can read even aligned, beautiful growth as danger, why becoming someone new almost always includes grief, and how small moments of stability can keep your body open to what is emerging instead of retreating to what is familiar. If you are standing in the tender space between who you have been and who you are becoming, this one will help you feel less alone in it.

Mona Sharma on Healing Burnout, The Root of Wellness & Coming Home to Your Body

Modern wellness tells us to do more, buy more and invest more into "healing," but what really moves the needle is much simpler. In this episode, Britt sits down with Mona Sharma, celebrity nutritionist, wellness educator, and host of the Rooted in Wellness podcast, to explore how stress, burnout, inflammation, and disconnection are often compounded when we keep looking outside ourselves for the next fix. Together, they talk about Mona’s path from anxiety and heart palpitations to a more embodied way of living, and how practices rooted in rest, digestion, community, and nervous system safety can help the body come back online. They also explore what it means to build your own “ashram” in everyday life and why healing often begins by remembering the version of you that existed before survival became your norm. Tune in to better understand how real wellness can become less about fixing yourself and more about coming home to your body.
