Episode description

Are you running on autopilot… or carrying silent trauma?

Trauma isn’t always dramatic. Sometimes it hides in plain sight...numbness, autopilot living, or the body’s quiet tension. Psychologist and somatic trauma specialist Dr. Shahrzad Jalali calls this silent trauma—the unrecognized emotional wounds that high achievers carry into their careers, relationships, and even their gut health.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Jalali shares:

  • How to spot the difference between everyday stress and unconscious scripts steering your life

  • The body’s biggest “holding zones” for trauma such as the gut, jaw, shoulders, and pelvis

  • A 90-second nightly practice to reclaim emotional autonomy

  • Why your fights aren’t about “the dishes” but about childhood wounds replaying in real time

  • How to honor your family while still choosing yourself

Dr. Jalali’s upcoming book, The Fire That Makes Us, blends her personal story of loss with decades of clinical work to show how fire can both burn and forge resilience.

✨ Take a deep breath, press play, and discover how to stop outsourcing your worth—and finally belong to yourself.
