Trauma Was Running My Business (w/ Tereson Dupuy, Trauma-Informed Business Coach)

Content Warning: This episode deals with sensitive topics like suicide, PTSD, divorce, and poor mental health.  

On the surface, Tereson Dupuy has led a pretty good life.  

She successfully ran her business FuzziBunz Diapers for almost two decades and kickstarted the modern cloth diapering movement. All in all, she sold $32 million dollars worth of product.  

But beneath the surface, it’s a different story. Tereson’s dealt with trauma ever since she was little: trauma which bled into her entrepreneurial life. She’s battled abandonment and lost her son to suicide during the pandemic.  

But Tereson's traumas have actually unlocked her ability to lead with love, both for herself and those around her. The death of her son Eden in particular spurred her upcoming memoir titled "The Return of Eden", which details how he has guided Tereson along her healing journey…from beyond the veil.

In this special Women's History Month episode, Tereson talks about:

• Making sense of suicide and loss
• How prolonged trauma impacted her business
• Dealing with betrayal from predatory business partners
• How her son's diaper rash led inspired a $30,000,000 company
• The unforgettable quote from a Shark Tank shark that changed her life
