In this episode, I share my deeply personal and distressing experience attending my graduate program orientation.

Despite being a program focused on trauma, the orientation process was anything but trauma-informed.

Join me as I discuss the challenges I faced as a disabled (wheelchair-using) trauma survivor, how the experience re-traumatized me, and the urgent need for trauma-informed practices in higher education.

This episode is a must-listen for anyone involved in academia, mental health, or disability advocacy.

You can also read my blog about this experience.

Do you ever notice how self-help influencers, spiritual leaders, and motivational speakers often preach about simple fixes to life's challenges? (e.g., change your thoughts, think positive, name it, and claim it....) These people usually (99.9999% of the time) come from some places of privilege. They don't have trauma. The idea that they are selling is oversimplified, and it can lead to more harm than good for trauma survivors who want to heal and improve their lives. In this episode, we're digging into manifestation and trauma. And we're going to tell you what you can do that's actually more effective in creating abundance.

Let's chat about safe spaces. When dealing with trauma, we often hide behind masks to protect ourselves. Making it difficult to connect with others and build healthy relationships. But here's the thing: this can lead to pain because, as humans, we are wired for connection.

Now, mental health therapy has its limits. Of course, therapy can help create some safe space, but is it enough? In this episode, we'll discuss the challenges of finding a safe space for healing. But even better, we're sharing how you can discover more safe spaces to support your growth.

In this episode...

• How safe spaces are a catalyst to profound growth
• The limitations we've experienced with mental health therapy
• Challenges and lessons we've experienced in building healthy relationships
• Reflections on personal growth since finding safe spaces

Doctors misdiagnose approximately one in seven patients, which happens more commonly among women than men. The experience of having your concerns dismissed by a medical provider (aka medical gaslighting) is incredibly painful. If it's happened to you, you are not alone. Medical gaslighting has become far too common, and in this episode, I discuss my personal experience. It took me a year to get a diagnosis for my rare neurological condition. The lessons I've learned from that experience have changed my life; I am sharing it all here!
