Healing Hearts: Parenting with Purpose-Support for Resilient Families, Support for Parents, Childhood Trauma Advocacy
Healing Hearts is a podcast aimed to help others parent with purpose. We offer support for resilient families as a beacon of hope and understanding for parents of vulnerable youth. Our commitment is to serve as an empathetic yet empowering guide for parents through the complex journey of raising children who face emotional, developmental, or behavioral divergence.
We create dialogues that inspire, providing practical solutions and unwavering support for parents seeking strength and compassion in the areas of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), childhood trauma, and the spectrum of developmental, behavioral, and mental health challenges. Our conversations are designed to arm parents with the encouragement they need to persevere. We offer essential and actionable mental health strategies and supporting resources for your journey.
In alignment with the core values of Speak Up for Kids in Palm Beach County, our podcast is more than a platform for discussion—it's a movement where every voice is heard, and each challenge is met with understanding and support, advocating for the well-being and thriving of every child and youth.
This podcast is a result of a student project done through STUDENTS Speak Up for Kids. Our student leaders are ambassadors for change and make a rippling impact in breaking the cycles of abuse, violence, and crime one child at a time.

“How do I build trust with a kid who has gone through trauma?” “What can I do to help my child open up to me?” “Why does it feel like my child isn’t healing from trauma?” — Two weeks ago, we heard Eddie Acosta’s story going from an abused foster kid to an advocate for breaking the cycle of trauma in families. Today, we hear the rest of Benoit Harpey and Amina Elsamahy’s interview with Eddie, in which he gives us practical advice to break the cycle of trauma. He shares tips for building a safe emotional environment, modeling accountability, and encouraging kids who feel hopeless; shares the importance of vulnerability and investing in children; and explains why patience, consistency, and openness is crucial to avoiding shutdown. It is possible to break the cycle of trauma in your life and in your family, like Eddie did, but it takes dedication, vulnerability, and care. Hit play on this episode and take the first step to erasing the trauma in your family. You’ll hear real stories, practical advice, applicable tips, and strategies that work.
