Trauma sounds big and scary. The truth is less overwhelming, and far more ordinary that we might think. Getting to grips with our own trauma - however big or small - is at the heart of understanding ourselves and our relationships.

This way the cycle of intergenerational trauma can be broken. Dr. Mariel Buqué is a Columbia University-trained psychologist, intergenerational trauma expert and author of the new book ‘Break The Cycle’. Dr Buqué will soothe your soul in this conversation, explaining how we can identify our trauma, how to practice self compassion and ultimately grow. Timecodes01:35 What is Trauma?03:01 Both Big and Small Traumas07:55 Early Intervention and Trauma Destigmatization12:43 Trauma Triggers and Coping Strategies14:33 Trauma and Physical Health Manifestations18:54 Holistic Approach to Trauma27:00 Understanding and Breaking the Trauma Cycle31:42 Trauma Processing and Body Regulation38:18 Trauma's Impact on Relationships44:47 Self-Compassion and Healthy Relationships48:42 Cultivating Self-Compassion for Healthy Relationships55:24 Self-Compassion and Boundary Development01:04:10 What does Live Well Be Well mean to you?01:06:00 drmarielbuque.comLinks:Dr Mariel Buqué’s new book ‘Break the Cycle: A Guide to Healing Intergenerational Trauma’ | https://www.amazon.co.uk/Break-Cycle-Healing-Intergenerational-Trauma/dp/1785044281/Subscribe to Dr Mariel Buqué’s YouTube Channel | https://www.youtube.com/@Dr.MarielBuqueFollow Dr Mariel Buqué on Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/dr.marielbuque/******Thanks to my wonderful sponsors!The Better Menopause | thebettermenopause.comThe secret to a better menopause lies in your gutUse code BEWELL for 25% !!***London Nootropics | Londonnootropics.comFind your flow with adaptogenic coffeeUse code LIVEWELLBEWELL for 20% off***Sensate | getsensate.com Achieve relaxation and peace anytime, anywhereUse the code SARAHANN for 10% off******Watch this episode on YouTubeFollow me, Sarah Ann Macklin on InstagramTo give your wellbeing journey that extra boost, try my 30 day ‘Reset My Health’ courseAnd sign up to my newsletter hereJoin my inner circle here!

After 15 years in Finance and Banking, she took the leap and embarked on a personal growth journey into sexuality and experienced her first full-body orgasm at age 35.We loved this episode as it’s all about empowering ourselves to tap into intimacy, teaching us how to improve our relationships as well as our pleasure - whether solo or partnered.This episode as well as Bibi’s courses on her website are focussed on opening your heart and mind on this topic, connecting them to the experiences we have and want to have and also, to our pleasure. It’s also about changing our sometimes skewed mindsets from the social narratives we’re fed and instead, encouraging conversations around these topics which are often seen as “taboo” or “awkward” even when between close friends and partners. Bibi shares advice and tips around recognising and undoing any shame you might feel around this topic – a common issue for a lot of us.We discuss conscious sexuality, what it is, how to explore it and also reframe what sex is. We’ll also discuss orgasms, the different types there are, tips to help you achieve full-body orgasms, and the pleasure and intimacy that goes beyond orgasms.Do you have self-love practice? Great if you do, but if you don’t, don’t worry as we’ll also discuss how we can create those practices - we’ve got you! It all starts with the self, right?Finally, we also learn how we can improve connections with our partners, tips for bringing up what can sometimes feel like awkward conversations with partners, and how to articulate wants and desires to them, as we go through some exercises with Bibi.After this episode, you will definitely have tools that will help you to take control and feel empowered when it comes to your pleasure.Happy listening!Show Notes This episode is sponsored by Natural Cycles.

How stressed are you right now? It’s January so chances are you’ve been stressed about something already. Do you know what your stress triggers are or do you just know when you’ve reached your peak stress levels? Don’t worry, chances are you’re not alone in that.We’ve brought back a guest from a previous episode on our series to talk about the s-word.Mithu Storoni is an eye surgeon and brain researcher-turned author. She is interested in how the brain responds to uncertainty and performs under pressure. Her first book,  "Stress-Proof", is a science-based guide to optimising brain health and mental resilience and she’s currently working on her second book, ‘Hyperefficient’ due in 2024.In this episode we discuss what stress is, how to recognise it in yourself, how to know what your stress triggers are and we also discuss how some people’s personalities are better suited to stress. Regardless if that’s you or not, stress affects each of us differently and we all have different tolerance levels. However, what is common for everyone is that it  can take a toll on our physical and mental health, and we now know it can contribute to the development of chronic health conditions.Hopefully after this episode you’ll feel less stressed after learning some tips and advice on how to understand, recognise and manage your own stress.This episode is sponsored by Natural Cycles.
