The Warrior Within
Hosted by Trauma Transformation & Energy Coach, Jaci Rogash, The Warrior Within is a podcast about real life stories of transformation, navigating life and being able to show up in the world as your unapologetic self. We’ll talk about the ups, the downs, the ugly truths and the magical moments that we all experience, but often feel we can’t share, so we can bring to life the importance of having meaningful conversations and embracing our own journey in this crazy thing we call life.

Capacity is the maximum amount that something can contain.
When I’m talking about our personal capacity, it includes, mental, physical, emotional and spiritual.
This episode is about bringing to light how much capacity you do actually have and what is realistic for you.

What time do you have for you (outside of necessary commitments)? What are your energy levels like?What are your non negotiables?What is most important to you? (sleep is included in this - how mu...155. How "Luck" is holding you back
Have you ever compared yourself to others and thought “If only I could be so lucky”, “If I was as lucky as them I’d have….”
Or maybe you’ve thought, “If I could be so lucky then…”
And sometimes we have this odd belief that in order to have what we want, to be as successful, as happy, as abundant, as free, as loving, as grateful as we wish we were, that it involves being lucky.
Well my friend, if this is your belief - you are holdin...

The intention of this episode is to check in to see if you truly have healed your trauma or whether you’ve just blocked your trauma.

The bottom line - it’s because it’s what you know and what you’re used to.
It is easier to fall into the trap of misery, sadness, lack, bitterness and wanting for more than it is to create a life you’re actually in love with because in so many ways, we are taught and shown that we shouldn’t be happy with ourselves, we should want more, we aren’t enough, we aren’t worthy…
It takes courage and bravery to choose a different path, which ultimately makes i...

What is *actually* causing you pain? What is holding you back from living the life you desire? What do I need to do in order to move forward?Check out this episode to learn why acknowledgement is so important and how you can start to do it.

164. Is your trauma sabotaging you?
It’s so important to speak to this and bring it to your awareness because once you can identify that some of your actions are self-sabotage, then you can empower yourself to change and remove these patterns and habits.
But ultimately - once you realise that something you continually do is simply self-sabotage, it is so much easier to remove this habit from your life because mentally you identify it as a block and it’s you getting in your own way.
So, is your trauma sabotaging you?
...
165. Being the advocate you always needed
But what if, instead of relying on anyone else, YOU WERE that person!
That you were your biggest advocate.
That you listened and supported yourself through anything and everything.
That you championed for what you want.
That you said yes to the things that scare the shit out of you because you knew, that no matter what you were supported.
