Have you ever hit rock bottom and realised that you couldn’t keep living the same way? That something deep inside you was crying out for a new way of being?

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Catherine Storing - somatic facilitator, trauma-informed coach, and deep-healing guide - to explore what it really means to heal from the inside out. Catherine shares how her journey through burnout, business trauma, and emotional exhaustion led her to somatic work and inner child healing - and how these tools helped her reclaim her self-worth, voice, and joy.

We talk about the transformational power of reconnecting with your inner child, healing old stories that keep you small, and learning to trust your truth enough to say “no” when it matters and “yes” to what truly lights you up. If you’ve ever felt like you’re going through the motions, playing small, or waiting for permission to prioritise yourself, this conversation will feel like a warm, powerful permission slip.

Whether you’re in the middle of your own healing journey, navigating emotional burnout, or ready to stop dimming your light, Catherine’s wisdom and vulnerability will help you see that it’s never too late to return home to yourself.

✔ Healing happens when you stop pushing and start listening to your body.

✔ Self-worth begins with honouring your inner child’s needs and desires.

✔ You don’t need to hit rock bottom to start your healing - but if you do, it can be the perfect place to begin again.

✔ Boundaries aren’t about controlling others - they’re about staying true to yourself.

✔ Joy lives in saying yes to what feels aligned and no without guilt.
