Beyond Trauma: Redefining Growth with Josh Goldberg and Dr. Taryn Greene
What if trauma wasn’t the end of the story—but the beginning of a new chapter?
In this powerful episode of PTSD and Beyond, we welcome Josh Goldberg, CEO of Boulder Crest Foundation, and Dr. Taryn Greene, trauma researcher and storyteller, to explore the science and soul of Post-Traumatic Growth (PTG). Together, we dismantle the myth of bouncing back—and instead talk about bouncing forward.
Boulder Crest’s pioneering program has been transforming lives through the lens of strength, service, and meaning. This episode dives deep into how PTG offers a map for healing—one built not just on recovery, but on purpose.
💬 In This Episode, We Discuss:
The origins and real meaning of Post-Traumatic Growth
Why traditional approaches to trauma often miss the mark
The role of struggle in forging strength and wisdom
How Boulder Crest’s programs are changing the game for veterans, first responders, and beyond
Real stories of transformation, resilience, and new beginnings
The Hero’s Journey Story Challenge—a national storytelling competition inviting creators to share powerful narratives of growth and healing
🧠 Whether you're on your own healing journey or supporting someone who is, this conversation will leave you with insight, hope, and practical tools for navigating adversity with greater clarity and compassion.
