In this episode I sit down with the powerful Dr. Xenia Barnes—a social and behavioral scientist and the creator of the Trauma to Triumph Transformation Model. Dr. Barnes opens up about the trauma of losing her nephew to gun violence and navigating life after being diagnosed with pulmonary fibrosis. She breaks down her framework for healing—naming your trauma, reclaiming your power, setting boundaries, and celebrating the small wins. We also talk about the role faith, family, and self-care play in the healing process.

This one’s a must-listen if you’re ready to turn your pain into purpose. 💫

🎧 Plus, she invites you to her upcoming Trauma on the Rooftop experience. www.xeniabarnes.com
