Reclaiming Your Authentic Self After Trauma

What does it mean to come home to yourself after years of self-abandonment? What happens when you realize you've spent a lifetime shape-shifting to survive—only to wake up and feel like a stranger to your own soul?

In this episode of Becoming and Belonging, Trauma Recovery Coach Kerri McKenna Reece joins Amy to explore the tender, complicated process of finding your way back to your authentic self. Through personal storytelling and professional insight, they unpack how trauma disrupts identity, how we lose trust in our inner voice, and what it really looks like to reconnect—with compassion, boundaries, and deep inner listening.

If you’ve ever asked, "Who am I, really?" or felt like parts of you have gone quiet just to survive, this episode offers both validation and a path forward. You’ll walk away with tools, language, and a deeper sense of permission to reclaim the you that’s always been waiting.
