You've achieved success. You've checked the boxes. But something still feels off.

Maybe you feel empty despite having "made it." Maybe you can't seem to enjoy what you've built. Maybe you're stuck in patterns—perfectionism, people-pleasing, control—that you know are holding you back, but positive thinking and willpower haven't been enough to change them.

Here's why: those patterns were encoded in your nervous system before you even had language. Before age 7, most of us experienced moments that taught us how to survive—and we've been running those same survival programs ever since.

But what if you could go back? Not to relive the trauma, but to intervene BEFORE the pattern formed?

In this episode, I share a powerful technique that uses the imagination to rewire neural pathways and rebuild trust in yourself. Instead of comforting your inner child after the wound, you go back 10 minutes before it happens—and give that younger version of you what she needed to stay grounded, safe, and loved.

In this episode, you'll learn:

• Why childhood patterns still run your life (even if you're successful)
• The healing technique no one talks about: going back BEFORE the trauma
• How imagination can rewire your nervous system at the source
• Why this works for anyone feeling stuck, disconnected, or unfulfilled—not just people with "trauma"
• How to do this practice safely and effectively

This isn't about reliving painful memories. It's about providing the co-regulation that was missing—so your nervous system can finally stop running survival mode and let you actually live.
