In this heartfelt conversation, trauma therapist-turned-coach Cherie Lindberg opens up about her deeply personal journey and the inspiration behind her new book, Sacred Knowing. After two decades helping others navigate trauma, Cherie experienced a profound shift following the loss of her childhood best friend, a moment that sparked her decision to move beyond trauma work and into coaching focused on flourishing, thriving, and living an elevated life. Cherie shares why she felt compelled to write this book and how it became a reflection of her own healing—an exploration of what it means to release pain, reclaim self-love, and trust the sacred inner knowing that guides us toward wholeness. Through stories, reflections, and a look at key chapters, Cherie reminds listeners that even those with high Adverse Childhood Experience (ACE) scores are not defined by their history. With support, intention, and compassion, healing and transformation are possible. In this episode, you’ll hear: How a personal loss led to Cherie’s pivot from trauma therapy to high-performance coaching and healing work.Why Sacred Knowing is as much a guidebook for healers as it is for those reclaiming their lives after trauma.The science behind healer burnout and the importance of energy clearing for long-term well-being.Cherie’s invitation to see healing not as an endless journey of “fixing,” but as an opportunity to flourish, love again, and thrive. If you’ve ever wondered how to move beyond your pain story and live from a place of sacred authenticity, this conversation offers both inspiration and a roadmap.
