In this powerful and deeply personal episode of the Award winning podcast Don't Shrink to Fit, I sit down with Vevian Vozmediano, a trauma-informed mental health coach who helps women release stored emotions tied to their past and reconnect with the parts of themselves they’ve been too afraid to explore alone.

Vevian shares her courageous journey of self-discovery, the emotional price she had to pay to distance herself from family due to religious beliefs, and the profound transformation that came from unbecoming the version of herself she once accepted in exchange for love.

This raw and vulnerable conversation dives into limiting beliefs, the role our mothers play in shaping our identity, and the struggle of trying to belong in spaces that don’t truly accept us. If you’ve ever felt torn between who you are and who you were taught to be, this episode will resonate deeply.

Tune in for an eye-opening discussion on healing, identity, and the power of reclaiming your true self.

 About my guest:

Vevian is a trauma-inform mental coach and therapist, her holistic approach draws upon her extensive training and experience in trauma-informed practices, coupled with a unique blend of mindfulness, self-care techniques, and innovative methodologies. With a deep understanding of the impact of trauma, she provide a safe and nurturing space for women to explore, heal, and thrive. She is a woman of Chaldean Ancestry and was born in Bagdad, Iraq. When I was 1 1/2, my family moved to the US. She grew up in Oak Park, Michigan—outside Detroit as a Jehovah's Witness in a religiously divided household filled with physical and emotional abuse. By 19,  she had experienced 2 acts of sexual abuse. She married at 24 to another Jehovah's Witness and divorced and shunned by the religion at 32. For over a decade, she has explored the deeper layers of my inner healing through every avenue that called me. 

She offers 1-on-1 coaching calls, plant medicine integration coaching, group programs, private plant medicine journeys, and retreats.
