Uncovering the Mind-Body Connection to Triumph over Trauma and Embrace Wholeneness w/Leah Drew
In a world that often separates the mind from the body, it is both revolutionary and healing to understand that they are intricately linked, each influencing the other in profound ways. This is the core message that Leah Drew, a trauma-informed mind-body healing guide, brings to light in our recent podcast episode, where she eloquently discusses the journey from experiencing trauma to achieving wholeness.

Leah's story begins with her own struggles, starting in a turbulent childhood environment and culminating in a battle with a rare pancreatic tumor at the tender age of 16. The scars of her past, both physical and emotional, were the catalysts for her to delve into the world of mind-body healing. She shares how her body held onto trauma, the revelation of epigenetics, and the impact of communication on physical and mental health. Leah's transformation is not just a personal anecdote but serves as a beacon of hope for anyone grappling with their own inner turmoil.

The episode doesn't shy away from delving into complex themes such as how our bodies develop compensation patterns to avoid pain and maintain safety, and how these patterns can manifest physically. Leah touches on the concept of 'nervous system hacking' through kinesiology and functional movement, demonstrating that chronic pain and other physical issues can often be the physical manifestation of emotional dysregulation and trauma.

Another pivotal topic discussed is the importance of self-love and the role of the critical inner voice. Leah guides us through the process of transforming the heaviness of negativity into the lightness of self-compassion. She emphasizes the power of breathwork, visualization, and movement in releasing negativity and fostering a state of vitality and love within ourselves.

Navigating internal dialogues is another key theme. Leah introduces the concept of personifying the critical inner voice, 'Fred', and teaches us how to address it with compassion. She elucidates how tension and discomfort in our bodies can be the physical embodiment of this inner voice and shares strategies to release these emotional blockages through vocal expression and physical movement.

Finally, Leah highlights the significance of connection and shared experiences in healing. She underscores her commitment to supporting women's healing journeys through accessible community support, whether one-on-one or in groups. Her dedication to guiding individuals towards their own path of healing and empowerment resonates throughout the episode.

In sum, this podcast episode is a comprehensive exploration of the mind-body connection, offering insights and tools for anyone seeking to heal from trauma and lead a more vibrant, healthy life. It is a story of overcoming, of thriving, and of the relentless pursuit of wholeness that Leah Drew champions with grace and conviction.

For years, I was lost, unbalanced and needing to find my purpose!

 
I have spent the last two years transforming myself; doing deep mindset work and forgiving my past.  I have been through several life changing times in my life, including, divorce, financial hardship, the loss of my mom (she was my best friend), and a life changing car accident.  

Durning my marriage I found myself in a career I did not enjoy, at home I poured everything into being the best mom and best wife I could be, but I lost myself and I didn't know who I was... I was lost after my divorce.

Over the past couple of years I have really been pouring into me and working on finding myself and my purpose.  Doing a lot of heart work, mindset and finding balance in my life. I found a community that has helped me grow as a person and it has transformed my life.  How many times have you tried to create new habits, set goals and take action to find balance in 7 key areas of your life?  Now is the time to transform your life, find clarity, balance and a purposeful life?  

I experienced a life changing car accident a year ago that gave me mortality motivation to help others.  When you sense that life is truly short, you focus your time here on earth and I truly have found my purpose and I truly believe God has directed me to pursue my passion to help others.
