81. Post Traumatic Growth: Soul Forging Times + Awakening Resilience


Listen Later

Soul forging times aren’t a dead end but an initiation.


It may seem far off, but we are given an opportunity to experience positive psychological changes following a traumatic experience or a dark season of life. This is the space where you can find meaning, develop new perspectives, + experience personal growth as a result of struggling through adversity.


This is what’s called Post Traumatic Growth.


In this episode, I open up about my personal journey through the shadows—grief, detachment, waiting, the “in-between”—and how post-traumatic growth (PTG) isn’t just possible, it’s trainable. You’ll learn how nervous system tools, mindset shifts, + spiritual surrender can help you turn pain into power, even when you're deep in the unknown.


This episode is for those of you standing in the hallway, between what was and what’s coming, wondering if you’ll ever feel yourself again. You’re not broken—you’re becoming.


  • What Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG) is + how it differs from “toxic positivity”

  • Why “doing” less may be the medicine your nervous system needs most

  • How to navigate the in-between—when you’re no longer who you were but not yet who you’re becoming

  • Tools that help cultivate PTG:

    → Breathwork

    → EFT Tapping

    → Journaling

    → Meditation

    → Somatic stillness

  • The power of acceptance, self-regulation + surrender to find meaning in the chaos

  • Why resilience isn’t born—it’s built

  • A personal story of facing the dark, letting go, + choosing growth
