Ever wonder why you keep doing the exact thing you swore you'd stop? It's not a willpower problem — it's your brain running an old recording you never knew was there.
In this episode of The Mandy Show, trauma therapist and neuroscience expert Karrie Scott Garcia breaks down why our brains repeat painful patterns, how "good" childhoods can still leave hidden wounds, and why so many high-achieving, faith-driven people are secretly the most exhausted and isolated. We get into the real difference between trauma and everyday stress, how to tell trauma apart from spiritual warfare, why grounding your kids might backfire, and the one thing that actually rewires the brain for good.
If you've ever felt "too sensitive," stuck in a pattern you can't explain, or like your achievements are covering something deeper, this conversation will change how you see yourself.
