From Abandonment Wounds to Belonging to Yourself: The Adoption Journey to Inner Freedom with Julie Brumley

What if the patterns you’ve spent your entire life trying to “fix” were never personality flaws at all… but survival responses rooted deep in the body?In this episode, Kelly sits down with trauma-informed adoptee coach Julie Brumley to explore the hidden impact of pre-verbal trauma, abandonment wounds, nervous system regulation, and the journey back to radical self-belonging.Together, they explore how trauma is stored in the body long before we have words for it, why adoptees often struggle with identity and belonging, and how somatic healing can help us reconnect to ourselves in profound ways.This episode is a powerful invitation to stop abandoning yourself and begin coming home to who you truly are.Tune in to hear: Why adoptees often carry deep pre-verbal trauma and abandonment wounds  How trauma can live in the body long before the mind understands it  The connection between nervous system dysregulation, people pleasing, and self-worth  Why many adoptees struggle with identity, belonging, and fear of rejection  The difference between intellectual healing and somatic healing  How the body communicates through sensations, symptoms, and emotional responses  Why learning the “language of the body” changes everything  The role of somatics, parts work, and nervous system regulation in healing trauma  How fear of abandonment impacts relationships, visibility, money, and success  What “radical self-belonging” actually means and how to begin practicing it  Why true healing is about insourcing your worth instead of outsourcing it  How to begin feeling safe within yourself no matter what is happening around you Connect with Julie Brumley: https://www.cominghometoself.cowww.instagram.com/juliebrumley_ The Resilience Project Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-resilience-project/id1849822021 Adoptee Healing Retreat: https://www.lizdebetta.com/un-m-othered-adoptee-healing-retreatWatch the full episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/XCkp8yI2ZPoConnect with Kelly:Website: https://www.kellybrockco.com/IG: https://www.instagram.com/kellybrock/Substack: https://substack.com/@kellybrock
