Redefining Success: A Trauma-Informed Approach | Your Trauma-Wise Career Guide Ep 33
What if the success you're chasing was never designed for someone like you?
During one of my recent open houses, someone asked me: "How do you define success?" It's such a simple question, but the answer is anything but simple—especially for those of us who've been through trauma.
Most success metrics we see in the professional world weren't created with trauma survivors in mind. They measure achievement without accounting for the energy it takes just to show up. They celebrate advancement without honoring the healing journey that makes sustainable growth possible.
In this episode, I share how I define success for trauma survivors: Success is making intentional progress toward meaningful goals while honoring your capacity and supporting your continued healing.
🎯 What You'll Learn:
*Why traditional success metrics create exhaustion for trauma survivors
*The problem with treating success as a destination
*How to define success through intentional progress, meaningful goals, honoring capacity, and supporting healing
*What success looks like at different stages of your healing journey
*How to develop your own trauma-informed definition of success
The world needs your version of success. Not the watered-down, trauma-ignoring version that traditional career advice pushes. The real version—the one that honors your healing, leverages your wisdom, and creates sustainable impact.
Remember, your healing journey isn't a detour from your career path—it's part of what makes you an extraordinary professional.
