Download Katie’s free guide:Ā 10 Hidden Traumas That Might Be Running Your Life (and How to Begin Healing)


What if the pain you've dismissed as "not a big deal" is actually trauma stored in your nervous system?

In this episode, Katie sets the record straight on what trauma reallyĀ is—and what it’s not. She explores why so many of us minimize our experiences, how childhood shaped your nervous system, and why emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, or reactivity aren't signs of weakness—they’re signs of survival.

Whether you’ve faced a ā€œBig Tā€ trauma or you’re still questioning if your pain is even valid, this conversation will help you connect the dots between your past and your present patterns.

3. Healing the MotherWound: A Letter to the Mother Who Lied to Me12 Jul 202500:28:55

At 38 years old, I found out the man who raised me wasn’t my biological father — and my mother took that secret to her grave.

šŸ’” What theĀ mother woundĀ really is (and why it affects more of us than we realize)

2. Penniless in a Bikini: The Burnout Breakdown That Changed My Life08 Jul 202500:31:00

In this raw and revealing episode, I answer a question from my audience:

ā€œHow did your healing journey begin? What do you do when old pain feels overwhelming?ā€

At 26, I was living in NYC, wearing the mask of ā€œsuccessā€ while silently drowning in exhaustion, detachment, and the physical symptoms of burnout. I didn’t have the language for it back then—but my body did. And eventually, it forced me to listen.

So I did what I always did when I didn’t know what else to do… I ran.


A one-way ticket to Hawaii led me to a remote beach in Southeast Asia, where I was robbed of everything—wallet, phone, identity—and left standing in nothing but a bikini.

That rock-bottom moment?
It became the starting point of my healing.

In this episode, I share:

  • The 4 signs of burnout I wish I knew back then

  • How ā€œescape modeā€ cracked me open to grace

  • The exact moment my healing journey truly began

  • Every healing modality I tried (and which ones actually worked)

  • WhyĀ somatic healingĀ changed everything for me

  • And the 3-stepĀ ABC MethodĀ I still use today when pain resurfaces

This story is for anyone who feels lost, numb, burnt out, or on the edge of something big.
You are not broken. You are breaking open.

✨ Let this episode be your moment of grace.

1. Named After My Aunt… Who Was Murdered29 Jun 202500:32:19

- The silence, secrets, and shame that shaped everything -

In this first episode, I share the origin story that shaped everything — how I was born with the umbilical cord wrapped around my neck, a metaphor I now see as my soul’s assignment: to heal my throat chakra and help others find their voice, too.

This episode dives into the unspoken truths, emotional confusion, and generational patterns that shaped my childhood — and how silence became its own kind of trauma.

I was named after my aunt… who was murdered.
My mom adopted her son. Moved us across state lines. Left my dad for her dead sister’s husband. Then, at 38, I found out the man who raised me is not my biological father. And no one ever talked about any of this!

This is not about blame — it’s about truth.
Because secrets aren’t safe. But your truth is.

  • Where plant medicine may (and may not) help in grief and integration.Ā

7. Too Good To Be Whole: Breaking the Good Girl/Boy Complex07 Aug 202500:23:09

In this episode, we dive into the hidden trauma of being ā€œthe good one.ā€ We explore the childhood conditions that shape the Good Girl / Good Boy complex, the nervous system patterns it creates, and the emotional toll it takes on our adult relationships, health, and sense of self.

We unpack:

  • How emotionally unavailable or controlling caregivers shape self-abandonment

  • The adult signs of chronic people-pleasing, hyper-independence, and perfectionism

  • How nervous system dysregulation reinforces the ā€œgoodā€ performance

  • Gabor Maté’s research on autoimmune illness and repressed emotion

  • Why ā€œnicenessā€ isn’t the same as compassion

  • What it really means to becomeĀ whole, not justĀ good

I also share a powerful message from someone in my audience who said:

ā€œI love being the good girl. Being empowered feels too masculine. I’ve had to be strong for too long.ā€

If you’ve ever felt that way — this episode is for you.
We’re unlearning "good" to make space for truth, softness, and self-trust.

In today’s episode, I’m diving into the mysterious (and magical) language the universe uses to get our attention.

15. The 3 Invisible Wounds Men Carry (and Why No One Talks About Them) with Mosiah Castrejon, Psychotherapist 20 Oct 202500:42:00

Why do so many men suffer in silence?


In this episode, I sit down with psychotherapistĀ Mosiah CastrejonĀ to explore theĀ three invisible woundsĀ men carry — emotional disconnection, childhood neglect, and avoidant attachment — and how these often go unnoticed beneath the mask of ā€œI’m fine.ā€

We unpack why emotional pain in men is so frequently dismissed, how societal conditioning shapes masculine identity, and what real healing looks like when men finally reconnect to their emotions and bodies.

šŸ’­ Expect powerful insights like:

  • Why the calmest man in the room might be the most disconnected.

  • How neglect can echo louder than abuse.

  • Why avoidance isn’t fear of love.

  • The first small steps men can take to begin healing.

This conversation is forĀ everyone — because when men heal, families heal, communities heal, and the world heals. šŸŒ

13. Connection After Conflict — Finding the Open Window05 Oct 202500:35:21

The health of your relationship depends on one thing — how you reconnect after conflict.


In this raw and relatable episode ofĀ Honest Healing, Katie Delimon shares a real-life meltdown moment that turned into a metaphor for love, repair, and emotional maturity — the day she and her partner Kenny locked their keys inside their RV after Burning Man.


Through laughter, exhaustion, and broken glass (literally), Katie explores what happens when childhood wounds collide with adult relationships — and how learning to repair, not just react, can change everything.

You’ll hear:
✨ A story that proves every fight is an opportunity for healing.
🧠 The psychology behind why we get triggered.
šŸ’¬ The meaning behind our matching tattoos "U>P"

If you’ve ever wondered how to come back together when you’re tired, triggered, or just human, this episode is your open window.


šŸŽ§Ā Because it’s not about avoiding conflict — it’s about remembering love when it gets hard.

9. Shifting the Narrative Of Childhood Sexual Abuse with Author, Kath Essing09 Sep 202500:44:15

21. Holiday Boundaries - It Starts With You05 Dec 202500:17:00

Most holiday boundary advice tells you how to manage other people — but the real work starts within. In this episode, we explore why slowing down, softening your pace, and listening to your nervous system can completely change the way you experience the holiday season. True boundaries aren’t about doing less or avoiding conflict; they’re about doing things differently and choosing the version of you who shows up.

We dive into the internal habits that drain your energy long before the family gatherings even begin: saying yes out of obligation, lowering your standards for temporary peace, abandoning your needs to ā€œkeep the vibe,ā€ and expecting others to change while you stay the same. When you shift your internal boundaries, your external world shifts with you.

As you listen, consider these reflective questions:
• Where am I abandoning myself in small, everyday ways?
• What expectations am I carrying into the holidays that create stress or resentment?
• What would this season feel like if I protected my peace the way I protect my to-do list?

If you’re craving a calmer, clearer, more grounded holiday — one rooted in emotional maturity, nervous system awareness, and self-respect — this episode will meet you right where you are and guide you toward a new way of being.

20. Trauma & Memory: Why Your Brain Forgets but Your Body Remembers27 Nov 202500:22:11

Have you ever wonderedĀ why you can’t remember parts of your childhood — or why you ā€œknewā€ something deep down long before you were ready to face it?


In this episode ofĀ Honest Healing, Katie shares how, at 18, she was told that the man who raised her might not be her biological father — and how her mind buried the truth for decades until an Ancestry test finally confirmed it.

We’ll explore:
🧠 Dissociation & Compartmentalization
āš–ļø Cognitive Dissonance
šŸ’” Loyalty & Attachment Protection
🚫 Family Systems & Unspoken Rules
šŸ•Šļø Freeze & Fawn Responses

You’ll walk away understanding that forgetting isn’t failure — it’s protection.
And healing doesn’t start with remembering; it starts withĀ safety in the body.

18. Better Boundaries, Better Life — How to Stop People-Pleasing, with Boundaries Coach, Bree Freeman)11 Nov 202500:46:54

If you’ve ever said ā€œyesā€ when you wanted to say ā€œno,ā€ this episode is for you. Bree Freeman — behavioral coach and founder ofĀ Boundaries with Bree — joins me for a powerful conversation about why setting boundaries feels so hard, and how to do it with confidence, compassion, and calm.


With a Master’s degree in Psychology, Bree shares how boundaries go far deeper than just saying ā€œno.ā€ We unpack the beliefs, conditioning, and nervous system patterns that shape how we show up in relationships — and how to break free from people-pleasing... finally.

17. Dancing with Cancer — Support and Healing for Families Navigating Cancer with Hayley Smith, Co-Founder of Cancer Dancer03 Nov 202500:48:30

When cancer enters a family, it doesn’t just impact one person — it touches everyone.

Hayley is the co-founder ofĀ Cancer Dancer, a heart-led platform supporting carers, families, and those affected by cancer through emotional, mental, and physical challenges. A mum of three, her journey began when her youngest was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at just 22 months old—after already losing her father and supporting her mother through the disease.

With little emotional support available, Hayley turned to breathwork, movement, chanting, and meditation to heal her nervous system. Now, with over 20 years as a massage therapist, kinesiologist, and Kundalini yoga teacher, she blends bodywork with emotional healing to help others move fromĀ survival to strength.


She opens up about:
✨ How she went into shock in the hospital when she found out her daughter had cancer.
✨ The birth of Cancer Dancer, a space for families navigating cancer to find healing, support, and hope
✨ The emotional and energetic impact of illness on loved ones — and how to support without trying to fix
✨ The spiritual practices and insights that helped her surrender, trust, and rediscover joy even in the hardest moments


Through their work together, Hayley and Severin are creating a new approach to cancer support & healing.

24. Breaking The Cycle Of Secrets28 Dec 202500:25:00

What happens in the body when truth is buried?

In this deeply personal episode ofĀ Honest Healing, Katie Delimon shares her story of discovering, at age 39, that the man who raised her is not her biological father — and the lineage of unspoken trauma that surrounded it.

This conversation explores a family system shaped by silence, including the murder of Katie’s aunt, the secret adoption of her brother, and being named after the aunt who was never spoken about. Together, these untold stories reveal how secrets don’t disappear — they live on in the body, shaping our nervous system, relationships, health, and sense of identity.

Originally recorded as a guest episode onĀ That Voice Podcast, hosted byĀ Sally Prosser — voice coach and author ofĀ Voiceprint — this episode is now shared here as part of the Honest Healing journey.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How family secrets impact us psychologically, emotionally, and physically

  • Why silence can show up as anxiety, over-functioning, people-pleasing, or chronic stress

  • What it takes to break cycles of secrecy without blowing up your life

  • Gentle, grounded first steps to begin healing if you’re holding a secret of your own

This episode is for anyone who grew up sensing something was ā€œoff,ā€ anyone carrying stories that were never theirs to hold, and anyone ready to choose truth, safety, and healing — at their own pace.

23. I Married Someone After Only 3 Months — 10 Lessons I Learned (10 Years Later)19 Dec 202500:30:44

I married my husband after knowing him for three months.
We eloped in Vegas.
We’d only physically spentĀ two weeksĀ in the same room.

Ten years later, we’re still here.

This episode isn’t about ā€œforever love,ā€ fairytales, or proving anything.
It’s aboutĀ emotional maturity, nervous system safety, and conscious choice — because longevity doesĀ notĀ equal health, in relationships or in bodies.

I share:

  • Why inner self-confidence matters more than time

  • How nervous system regulation shapes love and conflict

  • The difference between attachment and intimacy

  • Why conflict isn’t the problem — avoidance is

  • How repair, presence, and responsibility build real safety

  • The truth about staying vs. leaving

  • And why endurance is not the same as love

I also speak openly about my background — being born out of infidelity, not wanting marriage or kids, never seeing emotionally intimate relationships modeled — and why that shaped how I love today.

This episode is for anyone who’s ever wondered:

  • ā€œAm I staying because I’m healthy… or because I’m afraid?ā€

  • ā€œWhat actually makes a relationship work long-term?ā€

  • ā€œIs something wrong with me if love feels hard?ā€

Marriage didn’t make me better.
It forced me to become moreĀ regulated, honest, and responsibleĀ for how I show up — especially in the uncomfortable moments.

This isn’t about staying forever.
It’s about stayingĀ awake.
And leaving when it costs you your peace.

22. Why Eating Disorders Aren’t About Food — with ED Specialist & Nutritionist Lexi Crouch12 Dec 202500:53:33

In this deeply honest conversation, I sit down with nutritionist andĀ ReNourish: A Complete and Compassionate Guide to Recovery from Eating Disorders co-authorĀ Lexi Crouch, who shares her powerful story of recovery after nearly losing her life to anorexia.


Together, we explore why eating disorders are not about food, weight, or willpower — but about safety, survival, and a nervous system doing its best to cope. Lexi speaks openly about the realities of recovery, the myths that keep people stuck, and what true nourishment actually means for the body and brain.


This episode is for anyone who has struggled silently, supported someone with an eating disorder, or wants to understand healing through a trauma-informed, compassionate lens.
