Radka shares how years of asking "Why is this always happening to me?" finally cracked open during lockdown, after leaving an abusive marriage and feeling utterly depleted. In trying to get help for her teenage daughter, life gently mirrored back the truth… that her own healing had to come first. Inside this conversation, they explore: How EFT (tapping) helped Radka release years of stored pain she did not even know she was carrying Why trauma and emotions live in the body, not just the mind The difference between forcing a "positive mindset" versus actually feeling your feelings and letting them move Why affirmations and manifesting will not land if your subconscious wounds are still running the show How somatic practices, internal family systems and hypnosis can support safe, gentle trauma processing A simple nervous system tool you can use anywhere (including in a meeting) when anxiety spikes What it means to manifest from your soul instead of from old conditioning or ego The power of dance and movement in reclaiming your feminine expression If you have ever felt stuck in the loop of "Why is this happening to me again?" or wondered why your inner work is not "working," this episode will land deeply. It is a reminder that you are not broken, you are not too much, and your emotions are not the enemy. You hold the key. And when you are ready, you can choose a different story. About Our Guest – Radka Crossley Radka Crossley is a somatic trauma informed coach, narcissistic abuse recovery specialist, and the woman you turn to when you are ready to stop shrinking into the version of you that had to survive… and reclaim the one you were born to be. Her work blends somatic coaching, EFT, trauma unlocking modalities, and a growing toolkit of somatic hypnotherapy and IFS based work to support deep emotional release and full body empowerment. She guides people to dismantle the expectations, patterns and survival strategies that once kept them small, so they can reconnect with their true essence and live in embodied presence, self trust and unapologetic truth. Radka did not arrive here through theory alone. She walked herself out of some of the darkest seasons of her life, including an abusive marriage and long held abandonment wounds, and discovered that her greatest pain became her greatest teacher. Now she helps others remember that no one is coming to save them… because the power to create a future of joy and freedom has always been in their own hands.
