Susie Larson Revisits The Childhood Attack That Still Echoes In Her Body
Description
This is StRest! Susie Larson—bestselling author, radio host, and former fitness professional—joins Kerstin Lindquist for a blunt conversation about fear, trauma, and what stress is doing to your body. Suzy shares her childhood sexual assault and violence, how fear shaped her nervous system, and how chronic Lyme disease (and later mold exposure) fueled years of neurological symptoms.
She explains why fear can drive inflammation, why “ruminating” makes things worse, and how to retrain your brain by speaking truth out loud, building new thought pathways, and creating a “battle box” of Scripture. They also talk burnout, over-serving, true rest, and Suzy’s current fight with severe tinnitus—plus the daily non-negotiables that keep her grounded.
