39 | Healing Sexual Trauma Through Somatic Awareness and Self-Forgiveness

In this deeply healing episode of the Unleashed & Aligned Podcast, trauma-informed empowerment coach Nicki Brown returns to share her powerful journey of reclaiming her voice, identity, and nervous system after sexual assault. Nicki opens up about how people-pleasing and self-abandonment shaped her experience, and how somatic healing, breathwork, and radical self-forgiveness became the foundation of her reclamation.

We explore the deep conditioning that disconnects women from their inner knowing, the subtle signs of stored trauma, and how trauma lives in the body long after the mind has “moved on.” If you’ve ever felt reactive, overwhelmed, or like something’s wrong with you — this conversation is your reminder that healing is possible and safety can be restored from the inside out.

Topics include:

• Why people-pleasing disconnects us from our intuition

• The nervous system's role in trauma response

• Daily practices for safety and regulation

• Self-forgiveness as a radical healing tool

• The power of identity reclamation through affirmations

This episode is part of our Sexual Abuse & Assault Awareness series — a sacred space to listen, learn, and return to your inner truth.
