Why does imposter syndrome feel so much stronger for women who’ve lived through trauma, loss, chronic stress, or years of performing roles that weren’t truly theirs?

In this powerful episode of The Happya Life, trauma-informed therapist and positive psychology coach Clare Deacon reveals the truth most people never talk about: imposter syndrome isn’t a confidence problem, it’s a safety problem.

You’ll learn:

• How trauma rewires your nervous system and identity
• Why belonging wounds make success feel unsafe
• Why stepping into visibility triggers panic, fear, or self-doubt
• How childhood roles like “the helper,” “the strong one,” or “the peacekeeper” shape adult imposter patterns
• Why achievements don’t land in your body (and feel like accidents)
• The link between survival mode and feeling like you’re “acting” your way through life
• Three gentle steps to rebuild safety, self-trust, and internal permission to take up space

Clare shares deeply personal reflections, client stories, and trauma-informed science to help you understand why you feel like a fraud even when you’re capable, qualified, and rebuilding your life courageously.

💛 If you’ve ever whispered, “Who am I to be doing this?” this episode will help you see yourself more clearly: not as an imposter, but as a survivor who is rising.

Why does something as simple as saying “no” feel so unbearably hard? Why does guilt creep in even when you know you're doing what’s right for you?

In this episode of The Happya Life, Clare Deacon breaks down the nervous system science and emotional truth behind guilt after boundaries and why that guilt doesn’t mean you’re wrong. It means you’re healing.

You’ll learn:

• Why guilt isn’t a moral compass, it’s a trauma-informed response
• How your early conditioning around “being good” shapes your reactions now
• The real reason boundaries feel emotionally loaded
• What a “boundary hangover” is and how to move through it with compassion
• Somatic signals your body sends when you abandon yourself
• Why Boundaries Reset isn’t about learning what to say — it’s about building internal permission to say it

This episode is for the women learning to choose themselves — not selfishly, but sacredly.

Do you feel like you live in your head and your heart, all the time?

That your thoughts won’t switch off, and your emotions feel louder than everyone else’s?

This episode is for the woman who feels like she’s spiralling. Who replays conversations, second-guesses herself, and can’t quite land. The one who’s told she’s “too sensitive” but knows deep down, she’s simply overwhelmed.

In this episode of The Happya Life, Clare Deacon, trauma-informed therapist, positive psychology coach, and founder of Happya unpacks the real reason so many women are stuck in patterns of overthinking and overfeeling.

You’ll learn:

· Why your nervous system clings to spirals (and how trauma trains your brain to over-prepare)

· The neuroscience behind emotional flooding and hypervigilance

· Practical nervous system tools to regulate thought and feeling

· How to interrupt spirals gently, not with logic, but with presence

· A nurturing, body-based practice to shift from chaos to calm

· How to stop making your spirals mean something about your worth

This isn’t about fixing yourself.

It’s about understanding what your system needs and giving it safety, not shame.

Clare shares powerful clinical insights, a client story, and gentle reflections that meet you where you are, whether you’re mid-spiral, emotionally overstimulated, or simply exhausted from carrying too much.

You are not too much.

You are just carrying too much.

And you don’t have to carry it alone.

🎧 Tune in now and learn how to gently return to clarity, calm, and connection, without abandoning your depth or sensitivity.
