Why Do I Feel Less Powerful In Relationships?

Episode 31: Why Do I Feel Less Powerful in Relationships? Trauma, Triggers & Losing Yourself in Love
In this vulnerable and soul-hitting episode of The Trauma Queen, Jessica Ella unpacks a painful yet common pattern so many high-achieving women face: feeling powerful everywhere else—except in relationships.

You might be confident in your career, clear in your boundaries, and bold in your purpose… but when it comes to intimacy, love, or emotional closeness, your sense of power can suddenly vanish. Jess explores how trauma, especially relational abuse, abandonment wounds, or childhood emotional wounds, can deeply impact how safe you feel being seen, heard, or valued in love.

🧠 Inside this episode, you’ll discover:

• How unhealed trauma and nervous system collapse lead to powerlessness in relationships

• Why confidence in life doesn’t always translate to confidence in love

• How your identity may be tied to people-pleasing, fixing, or over-performing

• The triggers that hijack your voice and power in romantic or emotionally close connections

• Practical steps to reclaim your energy, your truth, and your healed, embodied self—even in the face of fear or rejection

This episode is for the brave woman who’s tired of leaving herself behind for the sake of connection—and is ready to start choosing herself in love.
