Dr. Helena Fields first joined Be VicTORIEus back in episode 5, sharing her lupus journey from the dark. As part of our Cycle Breaker Graduate Series she returns as the newly minted Dr. Fields with a kidney transplant behind her, a doctorate in hand, and a story that turned this into an educational podcast about Adverse Childhood Experiences.
In this conversation with Dr. VicTORIEus, she breaks down what cycle breaking actually looks like, how ACEs show up in the body and not just the mind, and how she became the first in her family to earn a doctorate as a single Black woman.
We talk lupus advocacy, generational trauma, special education teacher resiliency, parenting and legacy, and the support systems that carry you to the other side of a hard diagnosis.
