In this deeply affirming conversation, I’m joined by Dr. Laryssa M. Creswell—therapist, author, speaker, and fierce advocate for trauma recovery. Known for her compassionate and practical approach to healing, Dr. Laryssa opens up about the invisible burdens many women and teen girls carry, how generational trauma shapes our lives, and the power of finally being seen and heard.

We talk about what trauma-informed care really looks like in practice, how to gently reclaim your voice, and why boundaries are a necessary act of self-respect—not selfishness. Dr. Laryssa also shares powerful insights from her book The Invisible Weight We Carry, offering wisdom on moving from survival mode into healing and empowerment.

Whether you’re navigating trauma, looking to break generational cycles, or simply yearning to feel more connected to your truth—this episode is a must-listen.
