More than you’d think.


In this episode, Kayla shares the unexpected hobby that’s been quietly regulating her nervous system and what it taught her about a piece of healing she didn’t know she was still missing. If you’ve done the therapy, written the journal entries, set the boundaries, and still feel anxious, shaky, or unable to sleep, this one is for you.


Your mind and your body heal differently. And until you address both, you’re only healing half of yourself.

I Wasn't.]]>After a month away, Kayla is back, and she's not coming back empty-handed. In this episode, she gets honest about why she stepped away (burnout, hypocrisy, and a business model that wasn't working), what she built during that time, and the concept that has fundamentally changed how she understands healing.

She introduces The Onion Theory of Healing: the idea that healing isn't linear, it's layered. You work through one layer, and then sometimes years later, you discover another. And instead of that being a sign of failure, it's actually a sign that you've done enough work to go deeper.

If you've been healing for years and you're wondering why it still feels hard, this episode is for you.

Scared of what the family will say. Scared of being judged. Scared of putting it out there.

In this episode, I'm reassuring you that you don't have to publish your story for it to heal you.

You can write it just for you. And that's enough.

In this episode:

  • Why the act of writing (not publishing) is what heals
  • The different ways you can handle your story after it's written
  • My own fear around publishing (and what I wish I'd known)
  • Permission to write without pressure
  • What to do if you're scared of what happens after you finish

There's actual research that shows writing about trauma can make you physically healthier. Not just emotionally better physically healthier. Stronger immune system. Fewer doctor visits. More happiness.

In this episode, I'm sharing the groundbreaking research from psychologist James Pennebaker that validates everything I've experienced and everything I teach. And then I'm telling you about my personal experience: why I no longer feel emotionally connected to the trauma I wrote about in my memoir.

In this episode:

  • The study that proves writing about trauma improves your physical health
  • Why 20 minutes a day for 4 days can change your life
  • When writing works best (and when it doesn't)
  • Why I don't feel emotionally connected to my trauma anymore
  • How writing gave me closure and took away the trauma's power over me
  • Why you need structure and safety to heal (not just raw writing)

For weeks, I called it "The Trauma-Informed Publishing Blueprint" because I thought I had to sound professional and clinical. But that name wasn't me. It was who I thought I had to be.

In this episode, I'm sharing why I changed the name to "Finish My Memoir: 90-Day Program for Trauma Survivors" and what I learned about trying to be someone you're not.

In this episode:

  • Why I was trying to sound like a therapist (and why that was wrong)
  • The moment I realized my program name didn't even sound like me
  • What I actually offer (and why it's NOT therapy)
  • Why being a survivor who's "done it" is more valuable than any degree
  • Permission to stop trying to be perfect and just be yourself

You've been writing about your trauma for months, maybe years. You have journals full of pages. You've done morning pages, free writing, and therapeutic writing exercises. And you're still stuck.

In this episode, I break down why therapeutic writing and memoir writing are NOT the same thing and why understanding that difference is the key to finally finishing your book.

If you've been trying to turn your journals into a memoir and hitting a wall every single time, this episode will show you exactly what's missing (and how to fix it).

IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'll LEARN:

  • Why journaling alone won't give you a finished memoir
  • The 4 key differences between therapeutic writing and memoir writing (purpose, audience, structure, and emotional distance)
  • Why you're not failing you're just using the wrong tool for the job
  • What to do with all those pages of raw material you've already written
  • How to shift from writing for yourself to writing for a reader (without losing your authenticity)
  • The framework that helps you turn fragmented pieces into a cohesive story

Not polished. Not trying to be someone I'm not.

This episode is for anyone who's ever felt alone in their healing journey. For anyone who knows they have a story inside them but is too afraid to tell it. For anyone who's been told their trauma is "too much."

If that's you, this one's for you.

In This Episode, We Cover:

  • Why "just getting over it" isn't healing (and what actually is)
  • The reality of writing a trauma memoir: it doesn't silence everything, but it gives you your life back
  • What it felt like to press "publish" after 10 years of being scared
  • Why I created The Trauma-Informed Publishing Blueprint for people who feel stuck
  • The most liberating feeling: not having someone else in control of your life
  • Why telling your story is an out-of-body experience (and why that's okay)

It jumps all over the place. The timeline doesn’t flow. The themes are scattered. Even though you know there’s a powerful message inside you, what you’ve written so far isn’t capturing it.

In this episode, I explain why this happens, what it costs you, and how to fix it.

In this episode:

∙What the “Structural Collapse” is and why it happens to trauma authors

∙Why your manuscript feels vague even though your story is powerful

∙The three things structural collapse costs you: time, money, and emotional energy

∙How The Structural Boundary Map prevents chaos and protects your wellbeing

∙Why investing in structure now saves you thousands in editing fees later

The Trauma-Informed Publishing Blueprint is open for enrollment.

Founding Member Pricing: $1,250 (regular investment: $2,500) — only 5 spots available at this price.

In this episode:

∙Why the fear that your story “isn’t enough” is a lie designed to keep you small

∙How expressive writing becomes a tool for healing (even if you never publish)

∙The unsent letters I wrote to my mother and how they helped me break the cycle

∙The difference between journaling for processing and writing for publication

Started your memoir with so much hope, only to stop not because you ran out of things to say, but because you ran out of emotional capacity to keep going?

In this episode, I share why this keeps happening and, more importantly, how to stop the cycle.


In this episode:

∙Why I spent 10 years stuck in a delete-and-restart loop with my memoir

∙The real reason trauma authors burn out (hint: it’s not the writing it’s the lack of structure)

∙Why “just write from the heart” advice doesn’t work for trauma survivors

∙How The Safety Structure prevents emotional overwhelm and helps you finish your book in 90 days

∙

The difference between writing without a map vs. writing with intentional boundaries

Today, enrollment opens for The Trauma-Informed Publishing Blueprint.

This is the 90-day program I wish I had when I was stuck, scared, and convinced I’d never finish my memoir.

Founding Member Pricing: $1,250 (regular investment: $2,500)Only 5 spots available at founding pricing. After these are claimed, the program moves to $2,500. Enrollment is always open, but founding pricing is not.

In this episode, Kayla explores how creative expression, ranging from music and art to movement and cooking, can become powerful tools for trauma healing.

Discover why creativity speaks the language of our souls when words fall short, and learn simple techniques you can try today regardless of skill level. This isn’t about creating masterpieces; it’s about creating pathways for your emotions to move through you.
