I disappeared for three weeks. What I thought was a minor pulled muscle turned out to be a major medical emergency involving surgery, an at-home IV, and some of the most humbling, humanizing moments of my life.

In this episode, I share the raw story of what happened—and what it taught me about healing, trauma, and the nervous system. We explore how physical injury and medical procedures can leave invisible imprints on the body… and why that matters in our relationships, too.

You'll learn:

  • How trauma shows up after surgery or injury
  • Why somatic preparation matters before medical events
  • The hidden connection between physical healing and attachment
  • How to know if you’re carrying unresolved trauma from a past procedure

Whether you've had surgery, cared for someone in recovery, or just needed a reminder that healing is never linear—this episode is for you.
