40. Trauma Beyond the Obvious: Blending Science, Spirituality, Body & Brain — with holistic psychologist Belu

In this raw and unfiltered episode, I sit down with holistic psychologist Belu for an unscripted conversation about trauma, healing, and what it actually takes to move beyond understanding and into real healing and lasting transformation.This wasn’t meant to be a “proper” podcast interview. We met, saw we had a lot in common, and decided to chat. And at some point, I hit record.What unfolded was an honest and personal conversation between two women who’ve lived trauma, walked their own healing journeys, and now support others in doing the same.In this episode, we explore:Trauma beyond the obvious — including what didn’t happen, but was supposed toWhy understanding alone don’t lead to healingWhy talk therapy isn't enoughHow disconnected we have become from our bodies and why it's a problemUnderstanding our childhood, generational patterns, and overachievementFeminine and masculine energetics — and why so many women are exhaustedWhy healing is a journey — unpredictable, nonlinear, and deeply human⚠️ Listener note:This episode includes discussions of childhood trauma, relational trauma, eating disorders, and emotional neglect. Please listen with care and check in with yourself around timing and capacity.🌿 About today’s guestBelu is a holistic psychologist who spent many years working strictly within scientific and clinical frameworks — until her own healing journey and spiritual awakening revealed that something essential was missing.Today, her work bridges psychology and spirituality, science and embodiment, and mind and body, with a strong focus on safety, nervous system regulation, and inner child healing.You can find her on Instagram at: @ekarapsychology🧘‍♀️ Free grounding & resourcing meditationIf this episode stirred something in you and you feel the need to ground, slow down, or come back into your body, I’ve created a deeply grounding and resourcing meditation to support you.This is not a meditation that forces healing or emotional processing — it meets you exactly where you are.🎧 Access it here: https://clairepoho.com/free-meditationWant to explore working together?If you’re done trying to figure things out on your own and feel the pull to be supported through your healing journey: • Instagram: @theradiancequeen • Email: [email protected] this episode resonated, don’t forget to save, follow, and leave a rating or review — it helps this work reach the people who need it most.With love,Claire
