    Monthly Theme: The Effects of Childhood Trauma in Our Adult Lives

    In this solo episode, I would like to introduce the theme for January on The Transform Your Mind Podcast. I know we are almost at the end of the month, but I wanted to explain why I grouped these women together. Each of these interviews highlights the effects of childhood trauma in our adult lives.  And what’s been so powerful about these conversations is how trauma shows up—not only in pain—but in pleasure, intimacy, and identity. Pamela Madsen: Pamela Madsen is a noted sex therapist specializing in somatic healing. She is renowned for creating safe spaces for women to explore their pleasure and reclaim their sexual identities through transformative retreats and therapeutic work. Andrea Lee: Andrea Lee is a courageous survivor of childhood trauma. Her journey through years of therapy and healing has empowered her to help others through volunteering at a rape crisis center, providing support and guidance to women facing similar experiences of abuse. Vanessa Bennett: Vanessa Bennett challenges traditional beliefs about motherhood. Her work focuses on dismantling the "motherhood myth," urging mothers to balance identity and personal joy without succumbing to generational sacrifices of self-worth. So, when we look at these three conversations together, a pattern emerges: How we learned to experience pleasureHow we learned to disconnect from our bodiesHow we learned to abandon ourselves for othersResources: Listen to Pamela Madsen's episode: Transform Your Mind Podcast YouTubeMore episodes and stories on Spotify: Transform Your Mind Podcast SpotifyTune into this episode for inspiring tales of transformation and healing from those who have reshaped their lives beyond childhood trauma.
