In this raw and honest episode, we explore what it really takes to reclaim your voice, your confidence, and your sense of self after leaving a relationship that no longer serves you.

Ivana Care, a trauma-informed coach and founder of Holding Heart Space, shares her personal story of escaping an abusive relationship, living in a women’s refuge, and beginning the deep inner work of healing. Through nervous system regulation, root cause therapy, and community-based women's circles, Ivana now helps other women move through fear, shame, and uncertainty to find clarity and confidence on the other side of separation.

We talk about how trauma can subtly shape our behaviors, why people-pleasing and freezing are often misunderstood survival responses, and the power of being seen and supported in safe community.

If you’re in the thick of it, still navigating the fallout, or slowly rebuilding—this conversation is for you.

🎧 In this episode, we talk about:

• How trauma lives in the body (and what it means to be trauma-informed)

• Understanding people-pleasing, fawning, and freezing as protective responses

• The moment Ivana realized she had to leave—and what came next

• Finding strength through women's circles and shared storytelling

• The role of nervous system regulation in parenting and healing

• Why true healing starts with self-awareness, not just mindset shifts
  

About Ivana:

Ivana is a Life and Transformation Coach. Her journey into coaching began with her own personal transformation. Like many of the women she found herself facing an impossible choice in a relationship that no longer served her. Leaving meant stepping into the unknown and facing adversity, but it also meant opening doors to new possibilities. Today, Ivana is helping other women finding themselves after separation. She combines her personal experience with powerful tools like guided meditations, energy work, and trauma healing techniques.
