🎙️ In this powerful episode, Izzy is joined by Ray Lambert, psychotherapist, entrepreneur, and host of the Smooth Podcast. Ray shares his journey from navigating childhood trauma to becoming a licensed therapist, inspired by his father’s struggles with alcoholism and the profound influence of The Sopranos. Together, they explore how unresolved trauma impacts adulthood, relationships, and mental health—and how to turn pain into purpose.
Highlights Include:
  • What Does Trauma Have to Do With Mental Health?
    Ray breaks down how childhood trauma affects brain development, emotional regulation, and decision-making in adulthood.
  • Faith and Spiritual Bypassing:
    Can faith truly help you heal, or are some using it to avoid accountability? Ray shares how spirituality can be both a crutch and a catalyst for growth.
  • Memory and Misbehavior:
    “Your memory can be your biggest enemy,” Ray explains how reframing painful experiences can lead to healing instead of hindrance.
  • Building Resilience After Trauma:
    Learn practical tools, from mindfulness to entrepreneurship, that can help you foster resilience and transform pain into power.
What Does This Have to Do With Mental Health?
Unresolved childhood trauma is often at the root of anxiety, depression, and difficulty in forming meaningful connections. This episode dives into how faith, therapy, and community can help rewire harmful patterns and build a foundation for emotional wellness.

Key Takeaways:
  • Trauma doesn’t define you; your healing journey does.
  • Faith and therapeutic tools like CBT can reshape negative thought patterns.
  • Accountability and resilience are crucial for turning past pain into future growth.
