In this deeply moving and informative episode, Lauren Trout sits down with trauma-informed functional health coach Melissa, who shares her powerful story of surviving childhood abuse, a school shooting, and the tragic death of her brother. Drawing from two decades of personal healing and professional experience, Melissa helps women reclaim their health through nervous system regulation, somatic healing, and mind-body connection. Together, Lauren and Melissa discuss how unresolved trauma resurfaces in motherhood, what nervous system dysregulation looks like, and the real, practical steps women can take to begin healing today.
