Brigette Panetta's world collapsed just as it should have been expanding with joy. Two days after giving birth during the pandemic, she found herself fighting sepsis in the ICU after medical professionals dismissed her concerns during labor. Simultaneously, her family business faced devastating legal attacks that would eventually cost them their home, financial security, and public reputation. The prolonged stress manifested physically – panic attacks, an autoimmune condition, and skin eruptions that conventional medicine couldn't address. When therapy offered little help, Brigette embarked on a remarkable healing journey through alternative modalities that transformed her physically, mentally, and spiritually.

Through kinesiology, Bridget discovered how emotions become trapped in the body, creating physical symptoms that persist until released. Breathwork sessions became transformative experiences where intense breathing patterns accessed her parasympathetic nervous system, allowing buried memories to surface and release. Her "thought audit" process – journaling triggering incidents, then meditating to uncover their origins – revealed how many of her reactions weren't even her own, but conditioning from parents or society. Through this shadow work, she learned to forgive her younger self and reprogram these patterns.

Today, Brigette has channeled her suffering into service, creating resources to help others navigate adversity using the same tools that saved her. Follow her on Instagram @BrigettePanetta for free guides including her seven-day thought audit and five-step forgiveness workbook – and discover how your body's wisdom can transform even the most devastating trauma into an opportunity for profound growth.
