In this powerful episode of Trauma Undone, host Natasha June sits down with Erica, a spiritual teacher and mindfulness facilitator, to explore what it truly means to heal trauma—not just intellectually, but through lived embodiment.
Erica shares her deeply personal story of being fired during maternity leave, a pivotal moment that became a profound spiritual initiation. This experience forced her to listen to her inner guidance, reconnect with her body, and begin living in alignment with her truth rather than performing spiritual practices on the surface.
Together, Natasha and Erica unpack the difference between knowing healing work and living it. They discuss why stillness is essential for nervous system regulation, how generational trauma shapes our beliefs and self-image, and why healing doesn’t have to be heavy—it can be joyful, spacious, and deeply liberating.
This episode also explores how trauma healing transforms relationships, communication, and parenting. As we heal ourselves, we don’t just change our own lives—we shift the emotional inheritance we pass on to our children.
If you’re navigating trauma recovery, spiritual awakening, mindfulness, embodiment practices, or conscious parenting, this conversation offers grounded wisdom and real-life integration.
