What if the stories you’ve tried to bury are the very compass that leads you to purpose?

We sit down with Lisa, a survivor-turned-podcast host and workshop leader, to trace a raw, hope-filled arc from childhood abuse and family secrecy to voice, service, and durable joy. She shares how early messages and unstable dynamics hardwired survival mode, why talk therapy wasn’t enough, and how trauma-informed modalities like EMDR helped decouple past pain from present triggers.

Together, we unpack the mechanics of healing: noticing when your body surges from calm to chaos, inserting a pause before words cause damage, and replacing self-criticism with simple, repeatable language shifts. Lisa describes the difficult surrender from control to trust, and how that single move created room for boundaries, rest, and compassionate clarity about her parents’ unhealed trauma.

If this conversation moves you, subscribe, share it with someone who needs hope today, and leave a review to help more listeners find their way. Your story might be the light someone else is looking for.
