23. Transforming Trauma into Liberation w/ the 90 Second Rule

Welcome back to another episode of LIBERATED the Podcast! I’m your host, Leslie Medley, and today, we continue our deep dive into trauma healing, building on the wisdom shared in Episode 22: All Things Trauma Healing and Rewriting the Script. Highly recommend tuning in as that episode lays a strong foundation for what we will cover in today's episode. In this episode, we go beyond understanding trauma—we explore how to embody that knowledge and live it out in our daily lives. I share a personal story from a recent cacao ceremony with my daughter, which serves as a powerful metaphor for the healing journey and the importance of breaking generational patterns through our actions. Key Topics Discussed: Samskaras and the Grooves of Trauma: We dive into the concept of samskaras, or the deep emotional imprints we carry, and how these patterns influence our lives. I discuss the importance of observing these patterns and how we can rewrite the script of our lives by responding consciously rather than reacting unconsciously. The Power of Embodiment: I highlight the difference between understanding trauma intellectually and truly embodying that understanding. It’s one thing to learn about healing, but true change comes when we live it out, moment by moment. Navigating Emotional Triggers: Learn how to identify and navigate the sensations that arise during emotional triggers. I share practical steps for leaning into these sensations, recognizing your inner child, and releasing judgment, allowing you to move through the experience with grace. Somatic Release Techniques: I offer simple, yet powerful somatic tools such as jumping, dancing, and breathwork to help you move stuck energy through your body and release the hold trauma can have on you. Remember, you have the power to rewrite your narrative, for yourself and future generations. I can’t wait to hear how you’re implementing these practices and what shifts you’re experiencing.
