How do you heal when the people who were supposed to love you taught you to abandon yourself?

In this powerful and emotional episode, Steph & Craig are joined by Lindsey Lockett—coach, speaker, and host of the Holistic Trauma Healing Podcast.

Lindsey walks us through her story of complex PTSD, religious trauma, emotional neglect, and a dark night of the soul that brought her to the edge of life—and then back again.

We talk about:

• What it’s like to grow up in emotional abandonment
• How self-abandonment becomes survival
• Healing the inner critic that sounds like your mom
• Modulating your truth to feel safe
• Reclaiming your voice, your body, and your story

If you’ve ever felt like you had to earn love, shrink yourself, or keep it all inside—this episode is a breath of truth. And a deep invitation to remember: you don’t have to heal alone.
