From Quiet Achiever to Quiet Warrior: Trauma, Culture, and True Safety with Serena Low
Manage episode 482905044 series 3661736
In this insightful episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Sana sits down with Serena Low—former lawyer turned introvert coach—for a deep and honest conversation about trauma, cultural conditioning, and the hidden struggles of high-functioning introverts. Together, they explore how societal norms often invalidate quiet personalities, leading to internalized trauma and performance-based self-worth. Serena unpacks how safety must be embodied, not performed, and offers tangible micro-steps to help introverts reclaim confidence, visibility, and leadership without compromising who they are.

Key Takeaways:
Trauma in introverts often stems from unspoken cultural norms and early emotional suppression.
High achievers may perform safety while feeling hypervigilant and unseen.
Healing starts by embracing your introversion and taking "micro steps" toward expression.
Strategies like breathwork, somatic practices, and inner child re-parenting support embodied safety.
Cultural roots can be a source of strength—choose what empowers and release what confines.
