The podcast is on a break so I can focus on my writing and some much-needed rest. Until it returns on September seventeenth, I’ve curated a summer rewind series of fan favorites. This week's Summer Rewind features my conversation with psychologist and author Ingrid Clayton, and it's one I return to again and again. Ingrid's work on the fawning trauma response replaces shame with understanding, helping us see that people-pleasing and self-abandonment aren't weaknesses but survival strategies our bodies developed to keep us safe.
