Not all pain comes from big, life-altering traumas. Sometimes it’s the smaller losses…the toys sold without asking, the words that cut too deep, the moments when what mattered to us was dismissed, that stay with us the longest.

In this episode, I share a personal story about the unexpected grief I carried over childhood treasures that were taken from me, and how years later, I found a path to healing through play and joy with my own daughter.

Part of my childhood Playmobil house, each room was its own set.

This conversation is about the quiet hurts we often overlook, how they live in our bodies, and how we can create redemptive moments in the present. Healing doesn’t always mean erasing what happened—it can mean choosing joy as a way forward.

✨ In this episode you’ll learn:

  • Why small “t” traumas linger just as deeply as big ones

  • How our bodies hold onto memories our minds may forget

  • A life mastery tip for transforming quiet wounds into healing moments

  • A challenge to help you honor your inner child through present-day joy

If this episode stirs something in you, I’d love to hear about it. Share your reflections with me on Substack at mindbizlife.substack.com — because healing multiplies when we name our wounds and choose joy together.
