In today's episode, Elizabeth sits down with Brittany Piper, somatic practitioner, sexual violence prevention advocate, and author of Body First Healing. They dive into what it really means to heal trauma through the body, not around it.
Brittany opens up about her own story, from being born into foster care and losing her brother at 15, to surviving a sexual assault at 20 and the long, nonlinear road to healing that followed. She breaks down why talk therapy alone often isn't enough, how unprocessed stress hormones get trapped in the body and become chronic conditions, and what it actually looks like to start feeling safe in your own skin.
They also get into the nervous system science behind manifestation, why your state creates your story, and how regulating yourself is the most powerful thing you can do for your kids. This conversation is not about getting over what happened to you. It is about learning to live with your pain and letting your body lead the way.
