  • Why Your 7-Year-Old Self Might Still Be Running Your Life | Annie Yatch on Breaking Free from Trauma
    Aug 18 2025

    Welcome to This Is Where We Heal with Ashley Taylor-Maland!
    In this week’s episode, Ashley sits down with Annie Yatch, founder of NorthStar Leadership School, for a powerful conversation about healing trauma, breaking self-sabotage, and stepping into your fullest potential.

    Annie shares her unique approach to uncovering “root trauma patterns” that silently shape our relationships, success, and self-worth.

    This episode offers deep insights, relatable stories, and practical tools for anyone who has ever felt “not enough.” It’s an invitation to slow down, get curious, and create the kind of love, success, and life you truly deserve.
