Ep. 40: Courage Casts - Thriving After Trauma
In this episode of The Courage to Live Podcast, I talk about what happens not just when you survive trauma, but when you truly thrive after it. Most people stay in survival mode, numb, exhausted, and just trying to get through the day. But there are outliers, the ones who choose to face what hurts, seek help, and put in the work to heal.
I share how doing that work changed my own life, from finding joy in small everyday moments to connecting more deeply with my family and community. Healing doesn’t just change you, it changes everyone around you.
If this message resonates with you, my book The Courage to Live goes even deeper into how to move from survival to strength. You can find it here: https://a.co/d/h0Czxbx
