In this episode, we are having a deep, nuanced conversation about the similarities & differences between complex trauma & ADHD. Because I don’t know if you’ve noticed… quiiiite a bit seems similar between these two! Researchers also have differing viewpoints on the interactions of these two experiences, so again… this is a conversation to get you thinking based on what we know & have seen. It’s not a definitive answer, yet it hopefully can spark some more reflection in your own life + talking to professionals to problem solve within your individualized treatment plan.

What do you do when you are experiencing abuse but also being told it’s not bad and it’s your fault? Well, that’s what we dive into in this episode through our guest’s story of breaking free from everything that held her back and was harming her. And let me tell you, it’s incredible (as is she!) Our guest’s name is Ishtar Abdul, and also goes by zahraa. She is an actress, student, and also a mom of two boys. She is an advocate & survivor who is sharing and writing her story which she entitles “if the volcano speaks”. Her motivation to share is that she used to be silent and hide the truth and doesn’t want to do that anymore. Her story that she is writing is mainly about the physical abuse that she suffered from. She aspires to represent many women and hopefully will inspire others to be themselves and speak up when they get hurt. Her main message is for women to keep pushing through the hard things, and remind them to never give up. You can connect with her on Instagram at www.instagram.com/ishtar_lioness10 and get more updates on her upcoming story.

Do you struggle with trying to be perfect? Join us in this beautiful conversation of breaking down perfectionism & moving forward in the healing journey. Marisa (she/her) is a mental health advocate, childhood trauma & cPTSD survivor, and founder of little bent, not broken–an instagram page where she shares her story to help at least one person feel seen, heard, and less alone. “little bent, not broken” is meant to serve as a reminder that even after everything we’ve gone through, we are whole, capable, and resourceful, not broken beyond repair. In 2021, Marisa received her trauma-informed coaching certification which she has used to empower fellow recovering perfectionists to be more kind, patient, and loving toward themselves, while also helping them turn up the volume on their compassionate inner voice to be louder than the inner critic.

Have you ever felt out of alignment with your life & not sure how to get back?Beth shares her story as a survivor & also business owner about the major pivots necessary in holistic healing! Beth Deeren is a multi-passionate entrepreneur making waves in the health and wellness industry. A former Health Care Facility owner and Administrator, and currently a functional medicine practitioner and health and wellness business mentor and coach. She lives in Central, MN with her husband of 10 years and children 17 & 13 years old, and two fur babies. Beth began her journey into holistic wellness after a severe bout with illness in 2019 that left her fighting for her life in ICU with stage 2 respiratory failure/ARDS, it was shortly after that experience during the grueling recovery that she realized her life was being lived for all the wrong reasons. During the healing journey that would follow over the coming years she set out to break generational curses and put an end to the religious abuse she endured as a child raised in the Old Order Soumi Synod Lutheran Church. While the journey hasn’t been without obstacles Beth has overcome a lot in a relatively short time, transitioning from traditional health care into the functional medicine space where her treatment philosophy involves healing the whole person from the inside out with a focus on gut health, women’s hormones, and trauma healing. She joins us here today overcoming her silence to share her story of hope and recovery with you all.

Surprise! I am bringing you a solo episode on the events & life lessons I’ve been learning in the midst of huge, life-changing shifts in essentially all areas of life. It’s raw, messy, and parts of me want to scrap this for fear of sharing too much & putting too much out there, judgment, shame, all the things… but an inner voice is telling me to let it go and press share. So unedited, unexpected, here is the meaning in the messy - that just may help you as well. 💙 Taelor To continue the connection & conversation around all things healing, growth, & Overcoming, be sure to follow along our podcast page @OvercomingPod https://www.instagram.com/overcomingpod .

*major TW* re: sexual trauma & recovery || It was a pleasure to be joined by Tianna G. Hansen, an embodied movement & healing advocate, on this episode. Tianna & I dive deeper into the impacts of sexual trauma & what recovery may look like. We both felt safe having these conversations together, but please know it is due to the previous relationship & extended healing we’ve done since this trauma. This episode may not be suited for everyone, so please listen to your own safety needs. That being said, it is a POWERFUL & HEALING episode that I believe more should understand the realities behind. To connect with Tianna, follow her on Instagram at https://instagram.com/embodiedhealingwithtianna & keep your eyes peeled for her coaching opportunities 👀 To continue the connection & conversation around all things healing, growth, & Overcoming, be sure to follow along our podcast page @OvercomingPod https://www.instagram.com/overcomingpod .

Ever had “one of those days”..? Us, too! 😖 🥵 Join as our guest, Emily Stearman, shares about the importance of allowing & not always doing for the sake of healing & Overcoming. We can do, & we can be, and both are important. There is this heavy narrative in healing communities of do this, use this tool, use your energy here, you can push through, you’re strong, etc. But we CHALLENGE THAT NARRATIVE & offer another- that simply resting & listening to what you need is one of the most powerful self-regulation or growth tools there is. Emily is a motivational speaker, has background in Marriage & Family Studies, and is a total gem to laugh along with & also feel seen, wholly. Connect with her at https://www.Instagram.com/helloemilystearman & follow along with the show on https://www.Instagram.com/soswithdrtaelor Bonus Emily Storytime :) When Emily was little, she desperately wanted to be a singer/volcanologist combo. The park ranger she told that to on a fifth-grade field trip laughed at her and said "Good luck." Emily's life is not one of inspiring odd-beating. She is, in fact, not a singing volcanologist. But what she'd like to tell that park ranger is that she's happier talking about shame than she ever could have been as a singing volcanologist. Emily has been speaking to audiences for over a decade and began her podcast Speaking to Shame to reach even more people. She has a degree in Marriage and Family Studies, with a clinical emphasis, and reads research on relationships for fun. Emily is a human holding it together with heaps of grace and snacks she doesn't share with her two children. She and her husband can be found dancing in the kitchen, parenting together, cooking dinner, or going on the hikes she pretends to like because she wants her husband to feel loved. Emily is passionate about mental health, is a trauma and abuse survivor, and a Shame Slayer. She also loathes crunchy peanut butter. She lives in Idaho with her best friend Nathan, their kids, and a sad hole in her heart that a dog will someday (hopefully) take up.
