A Guide to Heal Trauma and Step Into You...

About this episode

What does it mean to truly heal—and why do so many of us struggle to even begin?

In this episode of A Really Good Cry, I sit down with healer, author, and spiritual educator Devi Brown for a deeply moving conversation about grief, joy, trauma, and the slow, sacred process of coming back to yourself.

We talk about how healing often starts in survival mode, why joy takes practice, and how performative self-help can block real transformation. Devi shares powerful insights on breathwork, somatic healing, feminine softness, and devotion as a path to lasting change.

Whether you’re navigating burnout, craving stillness, or trying to reclaim your worth, this episode is an invitation to soften, to feel, and to begin again—with compassion and intention.

01:24 Writing about grief and joy

02:32 The Deep Connection Between Self-Worth and Joy

05:12 Joy Is a Choice You Make Every Day

07:14 How to Start Healing When You're Still in Survival Mode

24:48 What Are Mudras and Why Are They So Powerful?

34:45 Why the 'Girl Boss' era left women disconnected

38:13 Breath is your anchor in hard moments

45:36 Create beauty through your senses

48:03 What softness really means

50:57 Why “I Am” affirmations need to be personal
