In this powerful episode, I sit down with Malaysia Harrell, a clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and military veteran, to discuss resilience, healing, and transformation after trauma. Malaysia shares her incredible journey—from working in high-intensity environments like prisons, child welfare, and disaster zones to surviving sepsis, multiple surgeries, and a near-death experience during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Despite facing unimaginable physical and emotional challenges, Malaysia refused to let her circumstances define her. She walks us through her healing process, the power of surrender, and how she reprogrammed her mind and body for complete transformation.
If you've ever felt stuck in pain, this episode will show you that healing is possible—and that you have the power to rise from the ashes.
