In this week's Triumph Beyond Trauma episode: an extraordinary conversation with Trudie Marie, a phenomenal woman who has walked through challenges that few people ever do and done it with unbelievable resilience. Diagnosed with post-traumatic stress and medically retired from the Western Australia Police, Trudie went on a personal expedition of healing. She trekked the 1000km-long Bibbulmun Track alone in nine weeks, using many modalities to support her recovery.

In this episode, Trudie shares her engaging story of transformation: from a young girl with a dream of joining the Police Force to facing all odds against her in an unruly regional town.

Despite the obstacles and internal struggles, Trudie found strength from community policing—from deep friendships with many local elders whom she related to and called on—to her deep connections to the land.

Trudie's story is about the power of perseverance—not just going by but finding one's way into blooming. Come on a journey through Trudie's incredible life: what she's learned, but more importantly, how she makes life into something she loves.

This episode is unmissable if you desire inspiration or to learn about turning adversity into personal growth.

Welcome to Episode 13 of Triumph Beyond Trauma.

Our guest this week, Richmond Heath, brings a unique perspective to our usual line up of first responders and veterans.

Richmond shares his compelling journey from being a high-performing physiotherapist and athlete to dealing with chronic pain and burnout. Unable to continue his usual physical activities due to debilitating injuries, he turned to alternative methods like mindfulness and meditation for relief.

Richmond experienced a transformative shift during a 10-day silent meditation retreat, discovering the power of spontaneous body movements. This led him to explore TRE (Tension & Trauma Release Exercises), a life-changing practice that has helped him understand and manage stress, trauma, and anxiety.

Richmond's story resonates with many who operate beyond their capacity, including first responders, veterans and frontline workers. He delves into the science behind TRE, explaining how it works and why it's so effective in releasing tension and trauma stored in the body.

Join us for a thought-provoking conversation that offers valuable insights into managing stress and burnout. Richmond's experience serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of listening to our bodies and finding holistic ways to maintain mental and physical well-being.
