#115 Enduring the Mess: Healing Generational Trauma with Ina Segal
Description
In this powerful episode, of Everything's Messy Podcast, I sit down with bestselling author and transformational guide Ina Segal (The Secret Language of Your Body) to unpack how unprocessed emotions—and even generational trauma—can manifest as very real physical symptoms. Ina shares her story of immigrating from Eastern Europe, growing up with constant anxiety, back pain, psoriasis, and severe digestive issues, and the devastating loss of a child that became a turning point. Through one raw, honest night of “listening” to her body, breath by breath, she began to decode its language, ask for God’s help, and unwind pain connected to family history, wartime survival, money stress, and buried grief. Together, Sarah and Ina explore why the nervous system must be stabilized before deep trauma work, how compassion beats force every time, and why shifting from victimhood to courageous curiosity can change everything. You’ll also hear moving stories of Ina’s grandparents—a reminder of the Greatest/Silent Generation’s resilience—and a stunning moment when visualization helped her grandfather reclaim lightness and connection after years of decline. If you’ve ever felt “stuck” in symptoms that don’t make sense, this conversation reframes healing as a braid of mind, body, and spirit—one gentle, intentional strand at a time. ✨
