My Story: Trauma, Healing, and the Journey Home

Welcome to the first episode of The Healing HEROES, a podcast dedicated to high-achieving women who struggle to quiet their minds but desire to find peace and balance in their busy lives. There is nothing more essential than inner healing. Finding this sanctuary within helps you come home to yourself and reconnect more deeply. This journey is about reminding you of who you are and what you are capable of, inviting you to get into your body, quiet your mind, and hear your inner voice again. It’s time to design, create, and build the life you were always meant to live.

In this episode, your host, Chandler Stroud, shares her journey and the greatest gift you can ever give to yourself and those around you—healing. Chandler brings nearly 20 years of experience in marketing some of the world's largest brands across various industries, including healthcare, consumer packaged goods, and financial services.  Chandler has led massive experiential moments, Super Bowl campaigns, PR stunts, digital experiences, product launches, and more. However, her greatest achievement is raising her two incredible children alongside her husband in a community she cherishes.
