In this bold and compassionate episode of More Than Sex and Secrets, Dr. Lisha Antiqua unpacks a powerful truth: You can’t fully heal from childhood sexual abuse if you keep reliving it emotionally, mentally, or spiritually.

While awareness is essential, fixating on the trauma keeps survivors trapped in the very pain they’re trying to escape. Lisha shares how CSA symptoms like dissociation, people-pleasing, body shame, chronic illness, relationship struggles, and hyper-vigilance are normal responses to a deeply abnormal experience — like having someone break into your home… and never leave.

You’ll learn:

• Why traditional talk therapy often stalls trauma healing

• The most common symptoms and misdiagnoses of CSA survivors

• How trauma creates emotional “squatters” in your body and mind

• A shift from trauma focus to sovereign healing and identity restoration

📚 Dr. Lisha also invites you to her 8-week class at Gateway University, beginning January 22nd — an immersive course in trauma-informed identity restoration, nervous system repair, and personal empowerment.

If you’ve ever felt unmotivated to work out, inconsistent at the gym, or frustrated that eating right and weight training aren’t giving you the results they used to, this episode will change how you see fitness forever.

In this powerful conversation, Dr. Lisha Antiqua joins Jaime to explore the hidden connection between stress, nervous system regulation, self-worth, and physical strength.

This episode goes beyond fitness advice to reveal how worthiness, identity, and beliefs directly impact your relationship with exercise, food, weight training, and self-care. You’ll learn why pushing harder often backfires, how lifting weights can become an act of self-respect and a healthy body that lasts.

Jaime Miller and her partner Craig upgraded their 3-step Guide to Be Consistent with Fitness & Nutrition without starving yourself or forcing your body through extreme workouts.

Now it’s a mini-course… and they’re giving it to my community for free! The mini-course grounds you with actionable steps and shows you how to build a lasting foundation with fitness and nutrition.

It is season 4 and this season is going to be FABULOUS!

Thank you so much for listening, supporting and sharing this little podcast talking about all the things we are not allowed to talk about. Like healing, surviving and overcoming abuse, reprogramming your body, mind to thrive and not sugar coating the journey.

I have felt lead to not settle for a life that is all about healing, that just repeats the pains of my parents and pretends all things are FINE. I want to live authentically and I want you to as well.

As I have grown this mission and movement over the past 20 years from my beginnings as a yoga teacher and nutritionalist through many certifications and finally my PhD in transpersonal psychology, my focus has been on our community. The forgotten and YET NOT BROKEN.

Thank you for supporting this show and Your Own University for the past 4 seasons (and beyond). You are alive to rise, to transform your generational patterns and bring more light and love into our world.
