When The Body Remembers: Birth Trauma, Core Wounds, and the Path Back to Safety with Brigid Tebaldi

In this powerful and compassionate conversation, I’m joined by Mrs. Brigid Tebaldi, a women’s health coach and birth trauma specialist from Loreto Wellness, to explore how our earliest experiences—especially around birth—can shape our identity, attachment patterns, and nervous system for years to come.We unpack what birth trauma truly is (and what it isn’t), how it can quietly inform core woundings, and why so many women find themselves stuck in patterns of overfunctioning, people-pleasing, and emotional disconnection without understanding why.Brigid brings a deeply grounding, physiology-informed perspective to healing—helping us understand how the body holds these experiences and how safety, regulation, and reconnection are possible through nervous system repair rather than willpower alone.In this episode, we discuss:​What birth trauma is and how it can show up later in life​The connection between early experiences, identity, and core wounds​Why overfunctioning and people-pleasing are often survival responses​How disconnection happens—and how the body can lead us back to safety​Practical, body-based pathways toward healing and integrationThis episode is especially meaningful for anyone who feels like they’ve been “holding it all together” for too long and are ready to move from survival into wholeness.⸻🔗 Connect with Brigid Tebaldi🌿 Loreto Wellness👉 https://loretowellness.com🔗 Connect with Me✨ Anna Valentinewww.movedbygracecounseling.com✨ The Selah Space:This episode reflects the heart of The Selah Space—a community designed to help women slow down, reconnect with their bodies, and experience healing through faith-rooted, nervous-system-informed practices.
