Energized with Dr. Mariza 722: Why Women Feel Unsafe Right Now: Trauma, Hormones & Protecting the Next Generation with Dr. Aimie Apigian
What if the breaking point so many of us are feeling right now is actually the beginning of profound healing and purpose?
In this episode, returning guest and trauma expert Dr. Aimie Apigian helps you understand why so many conversations feel triggering—and how unresolved trauma, not just current events, may be at the root.
We explore the difference between resolved and unresolved trauma, and why being activated is a sign your body is asking for deeper safety and support.
We’re talking about shifting pain into meaningful action—whether that’s healing your body, setting boundaries, or standing up for change in a grounded way.
Dr. Aimie breaks down her sequence of healing and explains the science behind how trauma is stored and how it can truly be resolved.
Tune in here to go from overwhelmed to empowered!

QUOTES
“Don't do anything alone. This is where a tribe, a group of people, can make a tremendous difference in the world.”
“Healing is not staying small to stay safe. It's finding that safety, but then layering in the support on a biology level, on a somatic level, on a mind level. Those are all the three levels that allow our mind and body to have the energy to actually process.”
“When we've had this past trauma, our brain likes to put things into those kinds of boxes. so being able to step back and learn over time that while it's important to speak up, it's also important to choose who I share those things with because it's not meant for everybody.”
