In this enlightening and deeply resonant episode, host Elizabeth Tiglao Guss welcomes Landy Peak, a somatic experiencing trauma therapist and women's health occupational therapist from Colorado. She helps high-functioning women stop shape-shifting, start listening to their bodies, and finally live from deep regulation and unapologetic truth. Her work isn’t about fixing—it’s about freeing the version of you who no longer has to perform to belong.

Landy shares her insights on the invisible impact of trauma, particularly in women who are childless by chance, not by choice. Through their conversation, listeners learn about the body's response to trauma, the concept of 'glitches' in the nervous system, and practical tools to signal safety and foster healing. They also explore the concept of 'shape shifting,' the importance of grief processing, and how to build a supportive community. Landy introduces her mentorship program, Magnetic HER, and emphasizes the significance of embodied experiences over mere cognitive learning for true healing.
