Transcript

[00:00:00] Cassandra Love Lambert, a trauma-trained somatic transformational coach, shares her journey on Kelley Beveridge's podcast. She discusses her challenging past, including the experience of being victimized and how she found empowerment through owning her story.

[00:00:57] Kelley introduces Cassandra, noting their 12-year connection. Cassandra is a trauma-trained somatic coach, artist, and author of Into the Light: Becoming My Own Hero, which details turning pain into power.

[00:02:10] Cassandra recounts her past, including childhood abuse, abusive relationships, and working in a gentleman's club for 10 years, which reinforced feelings of unworthiness. She explains how personal development and spiritual healing helped her reclaim her power.

[00:06:25] Cassandra shares her childhood experiences with neglect, abuse, and the long-term effects of being raised in unsafe environments. This trauma shaped her beliefs about herself and her self-worth.

[00:12:49] Kelley highlights Cassandra’s struggle in relationships and choices that validated her negative self-perception, leading her to work in a gentleman's club. Cassandra explains how she thought she was reclaiming power but was perpetuating trauma.

[00:16:34] The turning point in Cassandra’s life came after personal development seminars, deciding to leave dancing, and the pivotal moment when she became pregnant with her daughter. She quit her job, embraced motherhood, and began a new chapter.

[00:19:26] Cassandra explains that after leaving her job, she had no plan, but her decision to keep her daughter was the catalyst for launching her brand, C Love, and starting a new life focused on art and healing.

[00:24:47] As her personal transformation continued, Cassandra turned to somatic work, EFT, and brainspotting to heal deeply rooted trauma. These practices allowed her to move beyond just coping and fully process her experiences.

[00:32:00] Cassandra discusses the importance of addressing the roots of trauma rather than bypassing or ignoring them. Through modalities like EFT and brainspotting, she helps others heal and reframe their traumatic experiences into memories rather than reliving them.

[00:34:29] Cassandra stresses that owning your story means moving beyond the victim stage and gaining appreciation for how challenges shaped your life. She encourages listeners to take their time with this process and not feel pressured to rush through it.

[00:39:43] She emphasizes the importance of boundaries and self-care, noting that having clear boundaries is a key part of self-love and essential to maintaining personal well-being.

[00:45:00] Kelley asks Cassandra about her version of success, to which she replies that resilience and the ability to get back up after falling define success for her. She advises listeners to know themselves, commit to personal growth, and connect with a higher power.

[00:46:00] Cassandra recommends somatic work and suggests reading The Body Keeps the Score for those interested in understanding how trauma is stored in the body and the importance of healing.

[00:48:00] Cassandra's book, Into the Light: Becoming My Own Hero, is available for presale. She encourages people to visit her website or Instagram to learn more about her healing modalities and work.
