Turning Trauma into Unshakable Resilience with Susan Snow

When tragedy strikes, how do we find our way back to ourselves? In this deeply moving episode, I talk with Susan Snow—Trauma Resilience Coach, Speaker, and Author of The Other Side of the Gun. 

At just 17 years old, Susan’s life was shattered when her father, LAPD Detective Thomas C. Williams was killed. What followed was a long journey through grief, masking, rediscovery, and ultimately, purpose.

Some key highlights:

• The pivotal moment that cracked Susan’s emotional armor—and how it revealed what was long buried
• What a flashback taught her about the body’s memory and the mind’s need for safety
• How understanding PTSD became the first step toward real healing
• Susan’s go-to daily practices for staying grounded, calm, and connected to joy
• Her transformative reflections on letting go, rediscovering self-worth, and reclaiming inner strength after trauma

Susan doesn’t just speak about trauma—she embodies the hard-won resilience that comes from doing the inner work. She’s transformed her pain into a source of strength and guidance for others. 

This conversation is an invitation to look inward, embrace vulnerability, and trust in the healing that’s possible—especially for those carrying the weight of trauma and grief.
