The traditional “healing” model is failing us…

It focuses on symptoms instead of root causes. It’s built around crisis, shame, and quick fixes, while ignoring the deep, personal work that true healing requires. Instead of empowering people, it often reinforces trauma through outdated systems and reactive care.

In this powerful episode of The Prosperity Approach, I’m joined by the incredible Angel Prater, founder of Alchemize HOPE and a trauma-aware ambassador with over 25 years in behavioral health and social services. Angel is on a mission to heal the broken systems that are meant to help us and to teach a better way.

We explore the difference between trauma-informed and trauma-aware, and the completely different outcomes each produces. Angel shares her personal journey from addiction and homelessness to becoming a fierce advocate for hope-based healing, and why she believes hope, not fear, is the most powerful tool we have.

If you’ve ever felt like healing was just out of reach, this conversation will change everything.
