When your healing work starts making you feel worse—or you feel stuck, or your health issues seem to increase instead of decrease—it's not that you can't do it. It's often a sign that you need to change your approach.

In this live coaching session, Brandy guides Maya, a tender-hearted performer navigating years of trauma, fear, acne, hyperpigmentation, and a constant undercurrent of panic. Together they uncover a simple but profound reframe: stop trying to "hug the lion." With compassion and clear boundaries, Maya's energy shifts from fear and self-judgment to relief, calm, and possibility—right in the moment.

You'll discover how working with the mind differently (not just looking/identifying more trauma) can ease inflammation, soften explosive anger, and open the door to real, visible change. Brandy also shares why telling your trauma story on repeat keeps it alive—and how to choose a future-focused story that your mind and body can truly follow.

You'll learn:

• A loving "lion" metaphor to end the panic/anger cycle
  
  

• Why chasing every trauma can accidentally make symptoms louder
  
  

• A simple way to release guilt that never belonged to you
  
  

• How to find compassion while keeping healthy boundaries
  
  

• A practical path to step into your next-level identity—onstage or off
  
  

 If you've ever asked yourself—or ever wondered—"Why is it so hard to let go of trauma?" or "Why do I still feel stuck after doing so much healing work?" or "Why does my body keep holding on to pain even when I've done the inner work?"—this episode will help you understand why that happens and how to finally shift it for good.

This episode is a breath of fresh air—equal parts practical and mind-expanding. Press play to feel the shift.
