Trauma Rock Stars® | Trauma Recovery & Healing Podcast
Trauma Rock Stars® is a trauma recovery and healing podcast for survivors ready to move from surviving to thriving.
Hosted by Tracy Smaldino — a survivor, advocate, and speaker — this is a safe, real, and empowering space for anyone navigating trauma recovery, emotional healing, and post-traumatic growth.
Each week we dive into the real, emotional truth of healing — with honest conversations, practical tools, and inspiring survivor stories that break the silence, remove the shame, and celebrate the courage it takes to grow through what you've been through. Whether you're navigating childhood trauma, PTSD, grief, anxiety, or nervous system healing — just beginning or deep in it — you'll find support, inspiration, and community here.
From personal stories to expert interviews and therapeutic tools, this is where trauma survivors become the rock stars of their own lives. Because your trauma doesn't define you — it refines you.

You are not a groupie in someone else's story — you are the headliner of your own. That's Rock Star Resilience™.
