Episode notes
Heather is a working mom of twins, a wife, and one of the earliest members of my coaching program. Her story is the real deal: from feeling like her marriage was crumbling, to learning how to shift the dynamic, find herself again, and become a quiet force of support for her husband who—like so many—was silently battling the weight of childhood trauma. In the latest episode of Love and Trauma: The Real Deal, I had the honor of sitting down with Heather Hanson—also known as the Gut Health Paramedic. She's a best-selling author, speaker, and wellness expert who’s helped countless women overcome chronic symptoms like fatigue, bloating, brain fog, and weight gain. But in this conversation, she shared a side of her story most people have never heard. Heather opened up—for the first time ever—about how her childhood trauma shaped the very coping mechanisms that helped her survive, but eventually started to sabotage her health and relationships. Her story is one that so many of us can relate to: high-functioning on the outside, emotionally exhausted on the inside.
