In this powerful and emotionally grounded episode of The Empowered & Embodied Show, Lydia Knight joins hosts Kim Romain and Louise Neil for a rich conversation about why stress becomes normalized and what it truly takes to shift into peace, safety, and self-trust.

Together, they explore the neuroscience of shame, the healing power of curiosity, and how authenticity and belonging must start from within. This episode is a must-listen for anyone who feels stuck in cycles of overgiving, overworking, or perfectionism—and is ready for something different.
