Join us as we chat with Terri Long – CEO of T2T Media, cohost of Spotlight Over The City, and creator of the powerful Trauma 2 Triumph Project – for Episode 15 of Real Talk: Mental Health Sounds Like This.
Terri is on a mission to amplify the voices of women who have survived unimaginable trauma and gone on to live triumphant, purpose-filled lives. Through her groundbreaking T2T Project: Trauma 2 Triumph, Terri is shining a light on real stories of resilience and healing from women around the world.
Her journey into media began unexpectedly when her husband, author and filmmaker Stan Long, asked her to cohost his show Spotlight Over The City “just for a little while.” That one moment turned into a full-time partnership in life and business, with the couple now hosting one of the most beloved Black-led streaming TV talk shows, featuring guests like Tito Jackson, Israel Houghton, Vivian Green, Misa Hylton, and more.
In this episode, we explore:
The origin story of Trauma 2 Triumph and how Terri connects with women survivors
What it’s like to work side by side with her husband, and what they’ve built together
The importance of storytelling in healing trauma
Why her most cherished role is being a mom and wife—and how that grounds everything she does
Plus: how she’s turning pain into purpose through film, podcasting, and legacy-building
If you believe in the power of healing and storytelling, this episode will move and inspire you.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
