Although trauma is never something we ask for, it can become a catalyst for powerful growth. In this episode, Steph opens up about a traumatic experience that caused her hip to dislocate — and how it ultimately led her down a path of deeper healing and self-discovery.

She explores how stress, stored emotions, and unresolved experiences can manifest in the body, and shares tools for processing and releasing these feelings so they don't stay stuck. This episode is a raw and real reminder that healing isn't about erasing the pain — it's about learning to alchemize it.
