We’ve all been triggered as f*ck by someone - but what if instead of running from it, you leaned in? Today we are joined by my coaching bestie,
Cathy Walker, a somatic transformation coach with a background in psychosomatic coaching, tantra, hypnotherapy, and more. We are diving into the power of doing the deep inner work, how triggers can be portals to growth, and the journey of healing the sister wound. Cathy shares how I unknowingly triggered the hell out of her over and over, leading to an unraveling of deep-seated beliefs about trust, safety, and female friendships. We also explore a life-changing session that helped Cathy heal her relationship with the masculine, completely shifting the dynamic with her husband and reigniting their spark + sexual connection.


Sisterhood Healing: From Triggered to Transformed


Cathy and I have an incredible bond, but our friendship was tested over and over again as I kept *unknowingly* triggering a deep sister wound within her. Each time I asked Cathy for permission to share pieces of our coaching journey publicly, it sparked an old fear - the fear that her vulnerability would be exploited.

Instead of walking away, Cathy chose to do the inner work. She dove deep into her discomfort, uncovering layers of mistrust rooted in past experiences with women and childhood wounds. This commitment to healing not only strengthened our friendship but also provided a profound example of how sisterhood can become a portal for growth when we allow ourselves to be held, seen, and triggered.

As Cathy so beautifully said, “Triggers are pointing to our own wounds, and the work we do within ourselves is healing for the collective.”

Our story is a reminder that friendship isn’t always easy, but when approached with love, honesty, and a willingness to do the work, it can be one of the most powerful healing forces in our lives. I am so grateful that being the P u s s y queen Cathy is, she was able to work through this instead of ending our friendship.


Inner Masculine Healing: Reclaiming Safety and Abundance

 

One of the most transformative parts of our conversation was around Cathy’s journey to healing her inner masculine. During a recent coaching session I held for her, Cathy came in with the desire to fully embody the abundance she had created in her life and step confidently into her next chapter of leading group programs.

What we discovered beneath this desire was a deep-seated fear of not being safe, rooted in childhood experiences of feeling abandoned and unprotected. Through psycho-somatic coaching, we journeyed back to her childhood home, where Cathy reconnected with the love and safety that had always been there, held by the land and the masculine presence she hadn't fully recognized before.

This inner healing shifted Cathy’s external world, transforming her relationship with her husband and allowing her to receive his support as the divine masculine energy she had always longed for.

 

Relationship Dynamics: From Mothering to Magnetic Desire

 

One of the most beautiful outcomes of Cathy’s inner masculine healing was the shift in her relationship dynamics with her husband. Before, Cathy felt like her husband’s nurturing presence often enabled her to stay stuck in patterns of procrastination and emotional numbness. 

But after the session, everything changed. Cathy began to see her husband not as a “mothering” figure, but as the steady, strong, and supportive masculine partner he had always been. This shift reignited the spark in their relationship, bringing new levels of intimacy, passion, and sexual connection that had felt out of reach before.

This transformation is a powerful example of how inner healing can create ripple effects in our external relationships. When we heal the wounds that keep us feeling unsafe, we can fully receive the love and support available to us, and our relationships thrive in ways we never imagined possible. 

 

Psycho-Somatic Coaching: The Magic of Deep Inner Work

 

Throughout our conversation, Cathy and I reflected on the power of psycho-somatic coaching - the integration of mind, body, and spirit in the healing process. Both of us have experienced profound transformations through this work, not only as coaches but as clients holding space for each other. Somatic work allows us to bypass the conscious mind and connect with the body’s deep wisdom, it’s in this space that true healing and transformation happen.

Cathy’s session was a perfect example of this. By tapping into the body’s memory and sensations, we unearthed long-held fears and rewired them into embodied experiences of safety, pleasure, and abundance. This is the magic of psycho-somatic coaching - it creates lasting change from the inside out.

This conversation with Cathy is a reminder that healing is a layered journey, not a destination. Whether it’s healing sister wounds, reclaiming your inner masculine, transforming relationship dynamics, or diving deep into psycho-somatic work, each step brings us closer to our true, embodied selves.
