The Courage to Heal: Navigating Violence, Trauma & New Beginnings | Joe Tabeling

What if our deepest wounds could become a source of incredible strength—not just for us, but for our entire community? In this heart-centered episode of The School of Heritage Podcast, I sit down with Joe Tabeling the President of EG Energy Insight, creator of the Drug and Violence Awareness Expo where we explore the transformative journey from violence and trauma to healing and hope.

We’re tackling the tough but vital topics of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and gang involvement, not with fear, but with a focus on the powerful, resilient spirit of survivors. We’ll talk about how we can break the cycle of harm by coming together, creating safe spaces, and fostering real understanding.

We’ll also share inspiring stories and practical wisdom on healing after trauma—how survivors can rebuild trust, rediscover their confidence, and find a profound new sense of purpose.

And for our youth, we ask: instead of asking what’s wrong with them, what if we ask what’s happened to them, and how can we help channel their energy into growth? We’ll explore how to redirect pain into passion and build a future where every young person feels seen, valued, and empowered.

This conversation is a warm embrace and a call to action. It’s a reminder that healing is not a solitary path, but a collective journey. Join us as we discover how, together, we can help each other move from wounds to wings.
