About this episode

 

Tiffany Owen on Breaking Free from Trauma and Self-Sabotage

 

If you’re feeling stuck, self-sabotaging, or longing for real change—especially when life looks “fine” on the outside—this episode is for you.

 

Health journalist Natalie Tysdal sits down with Tiffany Owen, mindset and fitness coach, author of Wounded to Warrior, and mother of four, to share powerful and practical wisdom on overcoming trauma, taking ownership of your life, and becoming the woman you’re meant to be.

 

Tiffany gets brutally honest about her battles with trauma, addiction, perfectionism, and people-pleasing—and the turning points that led to her complete transformation. Expect actionable tools, radical self-compassion, and bite-sized practices to help you reclaim your joy, health, and identity—no matter where you’re starting from.

 

3 Must-Know Takeaways from This Episode

 

1. You Can Change—Even If You Don’t “Feel Like It”

 

Real transformation doesn’t require overhauling your life overnight. It starts with one small step—one promise at a time—even (and especially) on the days you want to give up.

 

2. Victim Mindset Keeps You Stuck—Ownership Sets You Free

 

Shifting from “Why me?” to “What did I learn, and what’s possible now?” helps you reclaim your power, process pain, and move forward.

 

3. Rewrite Your Story Each Morning

 

Tiffany’s “declaration paragraph” exercise—a mix of journaling and affirmation—is a science-backed mindset tool that helps you speak to the woman you’re becoming, not just the one you’ve been.

 

In This Conversation, We Cover:

 

       

  • What it really looks like to hit “rock bottom”—and how to rise again
  •    

  • How trauma and people-pleasing can manifest as addiction or self-sabotage
  •    

  • The critical difference between openness and resistance in healing
  •    

  • Tiffany’s go-to tools: power promises, non-negotiables, and morning routines
  •    

  • Why reframing your “story” shifts your results in fitness, mindset, and mental health
  •    

  • The role of physical movement and nutrition—and why they’re not the whole story
  •    

  • Free resources to jumpstart your mindset, hormones, and healthy routines
  •  

 

Listen now and take the next step toward feeling your best.
