One year after Hurricane Helene devastated Western North Carolina, therapist Erin sits down with Kristen Hicks, founder of The Blessing Project, to explore how trauma, resilience, and community healing intersect in the aftermath of disaster. https://theblessingproject.org/ https://www.facebook.com/theblessingprojectnc/

This episode is for anyone navigating:

• Trauma recovery and nervous system regulation

• Community healing after collective trauma

• Finding purpose through hardship

• Overcoming isolation and asking for help

• Building resilience in uncertain times

What You'll Learn:

• How to recognize when your nervous system needs support during crisis

• Why healing doesn't happen alone (and why that's okay)

• Practical ways to stay connected when trauma makes you want to isolate

• The power of community care in mental health recovery

• How to receive help without shame

Kristen shares the raw, real story of starting a nonprofit from a borrowed shed, serving 4,000+ people monthly, and learning that "what you focus on expands." From the $100 bill miracle to launching the Blessing Bus, this conversation reminds us that even in our darkest moments, blessings can be built.

Perfect for: Therapists, trauma survivors, HSPs (highly sensitive persons), anxiety warriors, anyone healing from collective trauma, community organizers, and anyone who needs a reminder that your nervous system deserves care, not pressure.

Hosted by Erin - Mom, therapist, and creator of the Mind Circuit App for nervous system support.
