In this heartfelt episode of Conversations That Heal, Dr. Stephanie Diane Jeffreys sits down with Liz Albanis, senior yoga teacher and host of Yoga for Trauma: The Inner Fire of Yoga, to explore how trauma truly lives in the body not just the mind.

After surviving childhood sexual assault, miscarriage, the loss of her mother, and two house fires, Liz shares how traditional yoga wasn’t always healing and how trauma-informed, somatic practices helped her reconnect safely with her body. We talk about nervous system healing, trauma tremors, pacing, consent, and why small, gentle practices can be more powerful than pushing through.

If you’ve ever felt disconnected from your body or overwhelmed by “performative healing,” this conversation is for you.

Healing doesn’t require force. It requires safety.

For so long, you’ve been the strong one.

The dependable one.

The one who shows up for everyone else even when it costs you yourself. But what happens when you finally decide to choose you? In this week’s episode, we’re talking about the courage it takes to stop abandoning yourself to keep others comfortable.

Choosing you isn’t selfish it’s sacred. It’s the moment you stop shrinking, stop overgiving, and stop waiting for permission to rest, heal, and live fully. I share what it really looks like to set boundaries without guilt, release relationships that drain you, and prioritize your peace, your voice, and your healing. Because choosing yourself isn’t about walking away from others it’s about finally coming home to yourself. I

They Are Not Your Responsibility

There comes a moment in healing when you realize that love does not require self-abandonment.

In today’s episode of Conversations That Heal, we’re talking about one of the hardest truths to accept: they are not your responsibility.

Not their healing. Not their choices. Not their emotional regulation. Not the outcomes of their lives.

If you’ve been the fixer, the caretaker, the emotional anchor, or the one who feels guilty for choosing yourself, this conversation is for you. We unpack how trauma, survival patterns, and learned roles can quietly convince you that it’s your job to carry others, even when it costs you your peace.

This episode is about releasing misplaced responsibility, breaking cycles of overgiving, and giving yourself permission to step out of roles you were never meant to hold.

You can love people deeply without saving them. You can care without carrying. You can choose yourself without being cruel.

If this episode resonates, I invite you to sit with what comes up, and when you’re ready, take the next step in your healing journey.
