In this episode, we explore the sacral chakra as the emotional and creative center of the body—and why healing our relationship with emotion is essential after establishing safety.

Building on the foundation of the root chakra, this conversation unpacks how trauma is stored in the body, not just the mind, and how emotional suppression, invalidation, and unprocessed grief live on as cellular memory. We examine trauma through psychological, somatic, and spiritual lenses, emphasizing that awareness is not blame—and healing is not avoidance.

This episode also addresses modern misunderstandings around trauma, boundaries, narcissism, and emotional intelligence, highlighting how disconnection is often mistaken for regulation. We discuss how sexual and creative energy flow through the sacral chakra, how unconscious energy exchanges can lead to depletion, and why healing this center is essential for intimacy, confidence, and embodiment.

You’ll learn the signs of an imbalanced sacral chakra, how trauma shows up emotionally and physically, and practical tools for healing—through movement, water, creativity, therapy, mindfulness, sound, and self-expression.

Ultimately, this episode is a call to reclaim the right to feel, restore emotional flow, and transform stored pain into creative, life-giving energy.
