Hello 2026, I’m back, and I’m back for good. In this Week 1 episode of 52 Weeks to Your Diamond Self, I’m naming what I believe trauma actually is: when your free will is taken from you, psychologically, spiritually, and emotionally. From the personal portals of perimenopause and menopause, to the collective rupture many of us felt after 2020, this is about reclaiming your inner authority and restoring the “factory settings” of your real self. This year is about healing with love, grace, humor, and art, and moving forward in the light, not living in triage forever.

In this episode, you’ll learn Why 2025 felt like a massive shedding, and how that can become rebirth A clear definition of trauma as “loss of free will,” and how it shows up in your life The core conflict behind so much suffering: power vs love, dominance vs submission The 8 “Crazy Eight” trauma patterns that hijack your life and relationships How to start telling the truth to yourself without self-attack, shame, or spiritual bypassing

Week 1 homework (do this with me) Grab a journal and a white canvas, then answer these 8 prompts with radical honesty:

Where am I addicted to control?

What am I pretending about, or pretending not to know?

What or who am I desperately trying to fix?

Where am I overpleasing?

Where is perfectionism running my life?

Who am I victimizing, or holding to an impossible standard?

Where am I lashing out, or holding someone hostage?

What am I withholding, from others or from myself?
