How to Heal Trauma in Your Body and Mind | Rebecca & Jaimie

In this powerful episode of the Midlife Chrysalis, Chip Conley sits down with two women who’ve pushed their limits, physically, emotionally, and psychologically, and came out transformed.

Meet Rebecca Rusch, a world-class endurance athlete who biked the Ho Chi Minh Trail to reconnect with her late father, and Jaimie Lusk, a former Marine turned psychologist helping veterans heal from deep psychological wounds. Together, they reveal what happens when life forces you to face what you’ve been avoiding.

Here’s what you’ll discover:

Why midlife isn’t a crisis, but a turning point you can’t ignore
What “moral injury” is, and how it quietly shapes your behavior
Why success and achievement often mask deeper pain
How your body plays a key role in healing your mind
Why nature can reset your nervous system

This isn’t just about midlife. It’s about what happens when everything you built no longer feels like you. If you’ve ever felt stuck or like something is missing… this one will hit.

Watch now.
