Steve Nagib is one of the sponsors and a keynote speaker at the Finding Your Voice After Trauma Summit, happening May 14–15 from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM ET. Registration will be available soon!

Steve Nagib is a board-certified athletic trainer, holistic wellness guide, and community builder on a mission to help modern professionals heal, perform, and live without leaving themselves behind.

For over a decade, Steve worked on the sidelines of professional sports — and when he says sidelines, he means it literally. As a certified athletic trainer (ATC) and certified strength and conditioning specialist (CSCS) with a master's degree in human physiology and biomechanics, Steve spent years inside the NFL, NBA, and MLB helping elite athletes recover from injuries that threatened to end their careers. He worked with professional teams including the Pittsburgh Pirates, trained athletes at the NBA Academy in Africa, and supported olympians, special operations forces, and Fortune 100 executives in reaching peak performance.

But the deeper Steve went into the world of high performance, the more he saw what no one was talking about. Behind the highlight reels, he watched grown men and women battle identity crises, emotional turmoil, and unprocessed trauma at the highest level. The physical body was only part of the story — and often, it was the last thing breaking down.

That realization hit close to home. Steve recognized that he had his own growth, healing, and inner work waiting for him in those very same spaces. The man helping others recover was quietly in need of his own recovery.

In 2023, Steve made a bold decision. He stepped away from everything and embarked on a six-month sabbatical traveling the globe, chasing questions that didn't yet have words. That journey stripped away the titles, the routines, and the armor he'd built over a career spent being strong for other people. What remained was a deeper understanding of what it actually means to be well — not just physically, but in the fullest sense of the word.

Steve returned with a new mission: to optimize the entire human experience. Drawing on his clinical background, his published research in concussion rehabilitation, and the hard-won wisdom of his own healing journey, Steve now works with high achievers who are successful on paper but silently struggling underneath. The CEO who provides for his family but hasn't been present in years. The executive who blazes trails publicly but is running on empty privately.

Steve's approach is built on what he calls the four C's: curiosity, compassion, communication, and collaboration. He listens without judgment, creates space for truth, and helps people build a life where performance and healing aren't at odds — but woven together.

Therapist confronts childhood abuse, sharing a powerful story of survival, resilience and empowerment in new memoir
SEATTLE – Seasoned psychotherapist Carol Odell's memoir “Girl, Groomed: A Therapist’s Memoir of Trauma” (She Writes Press, April 22, 2025) is an unflinching exploration of her journey to confront and heal from the complex trauma of childhood sexual abuse within the world of Virginia’s equestrian show-jumping circuit.

Raw and riveting, “Girl, Groomed” is an evolving story of coming to terms with the impacts of Odell’s own history of sexual abuse and violence at the hands of a predatory horse trainer who, for far too much of her young life, held all the reins. Set in the equestrian world of Virginia, this candid memoir details how, starting at ten years old, Carol falls under the spell of Clarentine, the charismatic—and explosively violent—owner of the stables just down the hill from her house. In tandem with that story, Carol examines the multi-faceted consequences of the complex trauma that resulted from the exploitative relationship Clarentine cultivated with her - including the resulting crisis she blindly imposes on her marriage. Chapters toggle back and forth between scenes of her childhood growing up jumping horses on the show circuit and the therapy sessions she later undergoes as an adult.

Using her own journey as an example, Carol demonstrates in this insightful memoir how unintegrated trauma limits us and our connection with others—and how the work of uncovering and reintegrating “what we do with what happens to us” can become the very source of our liberation.

Lisa Tickel is a resilient survivor of childhood abuse, dedicated to an inspiring journey of healing and transformation. After spending many years in survival mode, simply trying to get by, Lisa worked diligently to heal and reach a new chapter in her life. Her personal experiences have empowered her to help others embark on their own healing journeys. Her goal here is to help others shorten their suffering and she offers two ways to help others.

First, Lisa is the host of the podcast “Healing & Growing, Hand in Hand,” created to help ease the pain and suffering of childhood abuse and trauma survivors. Drawing from her personal experiences, Lisa shares stories of abuse and healing while offering a safe space for others to have a voice and share their journeys. There are 4 pillars the podcast is about:

• Sharing Stories. Guests bravely share their stories of childhood abuse/trauma and their healing journey.
• Experts. Experts and Professionals bring resources and tools to help in the healing process.
• Awareness. Guests bring awareness to childhood abuse/trauma in lesser-known areas, such as abuse in childhood sports.
• Preventative. Experts and Professionals bring advice on preventing childhood abuse and help reduce childhood traumatic events.

For eight years, Lisa co-facilitated a powerful women’s workshop, guiding hundreds of women as they begin or deepen their healing development. Reflecting on her experience, Lisa shares, “It was an honor to help these incredible women start their healing journeys, watching them blossom, connecting with one another, and creating new friendships. The impact of their healing extended beyond themselves to their loved ones as well.” She has created an 8-week “Women’s Childhood Abuse Healing Workshop” and offers it to women who want to begin or go deeper into their healing journey. The Workshop is an online and confidential setting where the groups are small to keep it intimate and safe. After the Workshop, the women can join the Women’s Healing Community to continue to get support and help. Right now, it’s only offered in the United States, but she will be looking for others to offer this Workshop around the world.

Beyond the mic and Workshop, she cherishes moments with her blended family, especially with the grandchildren. She and her husband enjoy going on long walks or hikes with their two dogs, Ace & Blackjack. She also enjoys spending time with friends, working in her garden or cooking up a new recipe.
