Lets discuss how your trauma could become your superpower?

Ever wondered if the stress, burnout, or people-pleasing in your business might be your trauma talking?

In this episode of The Soulie Insider, I’m sharing how trauma can quietly shape the way you lead, work, and make decisions in business, often without you even realising it. We’ll explore what’s really happening in your body when old wounds flare up as overwhelm, procrastination, or perfectionism, and how to bring yourself back into alignment when that happens.

You’ll learn how to spot when your nervous system is running the show, how to transform trauma-driven reactions into calm, conscious choices, and why slowing down doesn’t mean you’re falling behind, it’s how you reclaim your power.

I’ll also share five simple ways to pause, reflect, and redirect your energy so you can lead from confidence, not chaos. This one’s a heart-led conversation about awareness, compassion, and building a business that doesn’t drain your soul.
