Transmuting Trauma into Purpose with Terra Newell
Healing from trauma is undoubtedly hard work, and can seem like a never ending journey when in the middle of it. But it is always a choice - to either let the trauma define and dictate how we feel about ourselves, or take control and create something out of our experience.
So on this episode of The Conscious Leadership Podcast, Terra Newell shares her story of turning trauma into empowerment. Faced with the aftermath of an extremely traumatic attack from her stepfather and conman, Dirty John Meehan, Terra made the choice to heal from a lifetime of toxic relationships and childhood PTSD. In doing so, Terra found her own healing and transformed her deep pain into beautiful efforts to raise awareness around domestic abuse, advocate for victims, and coach others through their healing as well.
In this conversation, Terra and I share our knowledge and experiences on personality disorders and psychological abuse, the impact of trauma triggers, and the need for healing to foster our growth. Terra also shares her incredible experiences and how they have shaped her current efforts as an advocate and coach. She also has an amazing healing retreat coming up!
Terra’s story is definitely a mirror to hold up and see what is possible if we’ve gone through trauma and we choose healing to really make life work for us. From her, we learn that it is entirely possible to go through really dark shit and come out the other end with a really full heart.
This week’s guest was Terra Newell! Terra has been called “one of the biggest badasses in true crime,” and she actually killed conman Dirty John Meehan when she was 25. Since then, she’s shared her dramatic story on global platforms to raise awareness around domestic abuse. She’s currently a life coach, and works alongside criminal behavior analyst Laura Richards to pass laws against coercive control in the United States. Terra also loves to help others by advocating for victims. Find more from Terra on IG @terranewell, on her website at terranewellsurvival.com, on her podcast Time Out with Terra, or by emailing her at [email protected].
