In this raw and revealing episode of Inner Peace, Better Health, host Shreya sits down with Bridget Budd\u2014former corporate exec turned soulful novelist\u2014to explore the hidden cost of perfectionism, the role of repressed anger, and the power of radical truth-telling in trauma recovery. Bridget shares her journey from emotional suppression to spiritual awakening, and how her novel Behind the Mirror became a tool for healing not just for herself, but for readers struggling with identity, abandonment, and self-worth. This is a must-listen for anyone seeking holistic healing and the courage to face their own truth.\n\nAbout the Guest:\nBridget Budd is a writer, truth-seeker, and former corporate executive whose work now centers around emotional healing, trauma awareness, and spiritual growth. Her book Behind the Mirror explores hidden emotional wounds behind a polished life, offering readers a path to radical self-acceptance and inner peace. With certifications in yoga, trauma-informed coaching, and health coaching, Bridget blends lived experience with healing practices.\n\nKey Takeaways:\n\n\nRepressed Anger Fuels Overperformance: Bridget shared how years of silent frustration led her to equate busyness with self-worth\u2014until everything broke down and forced her to look inward.\n\n\nTruth Telling as Medicine: Suppressed emotions and unspoken truths can sabotage health. Bridget's healing began when she stopped abandoning herself to please others and started honoring her authentic self.\n\n\nSpiritual Awakening from Rock Bottom: A potential fourth divorce became a turning point that led to a profound spiritual shift, and eventually, a new purpose as a writer and healer.\n\n\nHealing Isn\u2019t Linear: Setbacks aren\u2019t failures. They often reveal deeper layers needing attention. Bridget learned that what felt like regression was often deeper integration.\n\n\nThe Power of Kundalini Practice: Kundalini yoga and mantra became key tools in reconnecting with her inner self\u2014especially as someone without a religious upbringing.\n\n\nProgress is Personal: Healing may look like feeling okay for 10 minutes in a day.
