Your Childhood Rules Don’t Get to Run Your Life Anymore

Ernest is known as the "Black Belt Trauma Coach," and he combines 25 years of trauma work with the discipline of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

It sounds intense, but he is one of the most patient and supportive humans I’ve talked to.

We talk about the "trauma lies" we tell ourselves just to survive childhood—things like "I have to be perfect to be loved" or "I have to take care of everyone else to be safe."

Ernest breaks down how midlife women can finally spot these distortions and replace them with "life truths" that actually let us thrive in our second act.

💛 The "Slow Down to Speed Up" Rule: Why pausing is the fastest way to hit your big goals.

💛 Trauma Lies vs. Life Truths: How to identify the old survival stories that are blocking your Growth.

💛 The Midlife Advantage: Why being over 45 is actually the "sweet spot" for this deep work.

💛 Healing "The Grind": Moving past the "aha" moments into the daily habits that make your new life feel normal.

💛 Embodied Strength: How physical discipline can help release years of emotional baggage.

✨ Exciting News: I also share a little sneak peek about my upcoming live in-person immersive gathering, Ignite the Inner Uprising, designed specifically for women in midlife to stand in their own sovereignty! Join the waitlist to learn more here
