Creatively Processing Trauma Reclaims Our Power

What if the most transformative work we do—on stage, in our businesses, in our creative practice, isn’t about performance at all, but about healing? In this deeply personal episode, we explore how creativity becomes a form of sacred processing. It's a raw, unfiltered language for facing what we haven’t been able to name.

Whether you’re a transformative coach, a founder moved by people and impact, a soulful content creator, or a progressive solopreneur, this conversation is for anyone who has ever felt their deepest truth was hiding behind locked doors.

Through the story of a powerful, improvised stage performance I did, an dramatic expression born from trauma not yet conscious, I found a mirror of my trauma story. Your creative work often mirrors what we most need to understand. Sometimes long before we’re ready to see it. It’s a reflection. A reckoning. A reclamation.

We dive into how post-traumatic growth is not just a concept but a lived, embodied experience for creatives who choose to walk with, not around, their wounds. When you create from that honest, messy place, you’re not just building a personal brand or producing a piece of art… building an epic impact business, you’re speaking for your inner child. Your silenced truths find their voice and your yet-to-be-claimed power.

Your story isn’t a detour from your power. It fuels your personal power.

We talk about the difference between “finding your business voice” and finding your actual voice—the one that speaks your pain, your triumph, your becoming. When we give voice to what has long gone unnamed—grief, rage, longing, fear—we turn creativity into a tool of liberation. Into a method of processing. Into a path toward remembering who we really are.

If you’ve ever felt broken by what life has handed you—divorce, depression, burnout, trauma—and still felt this deep inner pull to create anyway, this episode will hold you. You are not alone in that calling.

Inside, you’ll find space to:

- Reflect on the art that has already been trying to heal you.

- Reframe your work as a powerful act of post-traumatic growth.

- Reconnect with your creative instincts—not as strategy, but as survival.

- Honor the voice within that’s been waiting to tell the truth.

This is not about getting it all figured out. It’s about creatively walking with yourself, through the dark and the light. Through the spotlight and the shadows. Because that’s what gives us access to new choices, new healing, new hope. Tune in to this episode if you’re ready to stop waiting to “get over it” and start using your creativity to move through it—with soul, with courage, with grace.
