The Wound Beneath the Words: What’s Really Holding You Back Online

Content Note:

This episode includes personal stories related to birth trauma and child loss. If these topics are tender for you, please listen with care—or feel free to skip this one if it’s not for you right now.

Episode Summary:

In this deeply personal episode, Vickie Dickson opens up about the unspoken layers that can shape how we show up—or don’t—in our businesses.

She shares a story she’s never told publicly before: the story of her twin brother who died in utero, and the messaging she absorbed as a child about being “too much” from the very beginning. It’s a vulnerable, honest conversation about how early trauma, subconscious beliefs, and emotional survival strategies can silently run the show in your content, your voice, and your ability to lead.

But this episode isn’t about trauma. It’s about what lies beneath your self-doubt, and how healing that isn’t separate from your business growth—it’s essential to it.

In this episode, you’ll hear:

Why showing up online often brings up old wounds.

How self-sabotage is usually your nervous system trying to protect you.

The connection between your wounds and your ability to show up fully in your business.

Why surface-level business advice won’t work if your inner story is misaligned.

A powerful reminder that healing happens in layers. You’re not behind.

If you’ve ever felt like there’s more you’re meant to say… but something holds you back every time, this episode will help you start to name it—and begin to gently release it.
