Adulting with Autism

Transforming Trauma into Gold: Healing, Growth, and Empowerment with Sylvia Moore Myers


Listen Later

Hey there, friends! 💛 Welcome back to Adulting with Autism! Today, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Sylvia Moore Myers—the powerful voice behind GoldScars.com and author of Gold Scars.

After enduring unimaginable trauma, including the heartbreaking loss of her teenage son, Sylvia embarked on an 18-year healing journey that’s nothing short of inspiring. Her mission? To show us that healing isn’t about “getting over” pain—it’s about growing through it and transforming our scars into pure gold. 🌟

🎧 In this powerful episode, we dive into:

  • How trauma physically imprints itself on the body and mind

  • How grief intersects with neurodivergence

  • Why owning, naming, and mending your scars is the ultimate act of self-love

  • How young adults can heal without repeating painful patterns

    Whether you’re navigating grief, trauma, autism, or just working on your own healing, Sylvia’s message is a reminder that brokenness isn’t the end—it’s the beginning of becoming something even stronger.
