Description

In this episode, Belinda takes you deep into one of the most important and often misunderstood truths about healing: your childhood didn’t end when you grew up, it lives in your nervous system.

Whether you overthink, shut down, people-please, avoid conflict, struggle with boundaries, or feel “too much” or “not enough,” this episode will help you understand why, and more importantly, what you can do about it.

This is a compassionate, grounded, deeply validating look at the patterns that follow us into adulthood, and how to begin rewriting them.


What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  • How your nervous system was shaped before you had language
  • What your body learned about safety, love, and needs in early childhood
  • The truth about attachment blueprints
  • How childhood coping strategies show up as adult behaviours
  • Why trauma is often about what was missing, not only what happened
  • Signs your body is still living old survival patterns
  • How co-regulation and mirror neurons shape emotional development
  • Practical ways to start rewiring old patterns through somatic healing


This episode will help you understand yourself in a way that brings clarity, compassion, and choice.
