In this powerful and inspiring conversation, we explore the profound impact of childhood trauma on adult life with special guest Blanca Rodriguez — speaker, educator, best-selling co-author, and CEO of Wounded Healer, LLC. With more than two decades of experience as a licensed massage therapist, Blanca offers deep insight into how trauma isn’t just a memory — it lives in the body.

Blanca shares her personal journey from silence and pain to empowerment and purpose, demonstrating that healing is not a destination — it’s a courageous, ongoing process. She highlights the importance of a holistic approach to recovery, combining traditional therapeutic support with innovative modalities like canine massage therapy, movement, music, laughter, and dance to unlock emotional release and transformation.

This episode is a reminder that life does not get better by chance — it gets better by change. Listeners are encouraged to take small steps toward healing, embrace their inherent worth, and seek support that nurtures both the body and soul.

✅ Key Takeaways

• Untreated childhood trauma has a deep and lasting effect on adult emotional and physical health.
• Healing requires a holistic approach — addressing the trauma stored in the body, not just the mind.
• Creative expression (music, dance, laughter) can serve as powerful tools for emotional release and growth.
• Trauma recovery often accelerates when physical therapies like massage are integrated into care.
• Support systems and community are vital — we heal faster when we’re not alone.
• Personal transformation is a choice — small, consistent steps create a better quality of life.
