Show Notes:

In this episode of Healing Doesn't Have To Be Heavy, host Angie Berrett sits down with yoga instructor, author, and trauma survivor Marie Triplett for a powerful conversation about healing, embodiment, and reclaiming joy. Marie was a key guide during Angie's early healing journey, offering compassionate support and trauma-informed yoga instruction at a time when Angie was navigating the emergence of childhood abuse memories.

Marie shares how yoga became her entry point into healing, helping her reconnect with her body, understand her triggers, and rebuild safety through mindful movement. She explains why the right teacher matters, how yoga teaches emotional regulation, and why flexibility has nothing to do with whether someone can benefit from the practice.

The conversation explores how Marie’s healing deepened through her relationship with food. She describes her shift from emotional and stress eating toward a mantra of “eat like I love myself,” which eventually expanded into “live like I love myself.” This transformation inspired her to reclaim her voice, step into her power, and write two deeply personal books filled with stories, mantras, and guided reflections.

Marie also opens up about the joy she finds in cooking and feeding others, how creativity became an expression of love, and why celebrating life is a radical act for trauma survivors. Her story is a testament to resilience, self-connection, and learning to run what she calls “victory laps” after years of survival.
