 On this powerful episode of Trauma Behind the Glamor, Rah Mr. Trauma Talks, sits down with model Gabriela for an honest and inspiring conversation about the realities behind beauty, success, and resilience.

While many people see the glamorous side of the modeling industry, Gabriela opens up about the painful moments that happen behind the scenes. She shares what it felt like to be invited to fashion shows and opportunities, only to be overlooked because she didn't fit certain industry standards, including height requirements. In an industry that often judges appearance before talent, Gabriela discusses the emotional toll rejection can take on confidence and self worth.

She also speaks candidly about living with PCOS (Polycystic Ovary Syndrome) and the physical, emotional, and mental health challenges that come with it. From body image struggles to navigating a world that often misunderstands women's health, Gabriela reveals the strength it takes to keep showing up and believing in yourself.

In one of the most emotional parts of the interview, Gabriela shares her experience of being hit by a car and suffering a concussion. The accident left more than physical scars. She discusses the lingering anxiety, fear in crowded spaces, and the lasting impact trauma can have long after the initial event.

Together, Rah and Gabriela explore healing, confidence, mental health, self acceptance, and the courage required to keep moving forward when life changes in an instant.

This conversation is raw, vulnerable, empowering, and deeply relatable for anyone who has ever questioned their worth because of rejection, struggled with their health, or faced fear after trauma.

Behind every beautiful smile, every photo shoot, and every runway moment is a human story. This is Gabriela's truth.

 Mental Health Bytes episode is one of the most honest and emotional conversations we have ever shared. As Suicide Awareness Month comes to an end, Dr Tash and MrTraumaTalks sat down and opened their hearts in a way that reminds the world what surviving really looks like. Rahul spoke openly about a recent moment where he stood at a train platform ready to give up, and for the first time he allowed himself to break down and cry as he told the truth of what he was facing. Dr Tash shared her own story of losing her husband, feeling completely shattered, and attempting suicide before rebuilding her life and becoming the doctor she is today. Two survivors. Two leaders. Two human beings showing that even in the darkest moments, healing is possible. This episode is not about perfection. It is about truth. It is about courage. It is about reminding every viewer that You Are Not Alone.

On this powerful episode of Trauma Behind the Glamor, Rah sits down with Saagar Modi, founder of Conscious Talent Management — a man whose journey through mental illness, identity, and spiritual rebirth is as raw as it is inspiring.

At just 18 years old, Saagar experienced a severe psychosis episode that shattered his sense of reality. He faced terrifying intrusive thoughts, including the fear of harming the very people he loved most. Instead of hiding this chapter, he chooses to speak openly about it — not for shock value, but to break stigma and help others understand what psychosis truly feels like from the inside.

Saagar walks us through the emotional chaos of losing control of his mind, the shame and fear that followed, and the long road of therapy, treatment, and rebuilding trust in himself. He explains the difference between intrusive thoughts and intention, and how learning that distinction saved his life.

Today, Saagar is a mental health advocate, a spiritual seeker, and the founder of Conscious Talent Management, where he connects models, actors, creators, and artists with opportunities rooted in integrity and compassion. His story is a reminder that healing is not linear — it’s a rebirth, a reconstruction, and a reclaiming of identity.

This conversation is honest, vulnerable, and deeply human.
It’s about the mind, the soul, and the courage it takes to come back from the darkest places.

This is Saagar’s truth — unfiltered, brave, and transformative.

This week on Trauma Talks Thursdays, Rahul “MrTraumaTalks” Maharaj sits down with Sandra Liliana Cordero, an educator, speaker, and holistic wellness advocate with over twenty two years of experience empowering children, families, and communities. Bilingual in English and Spanish, Sandra brings a powerful message of healing, imagination, and personal transformation.

After moving to Hawaii, Sandra entered a new chapter devoted to conscious living, restorative justice, energy healing, and holistic wellness. She is a Restorative Justice Circle Keeper, Certified Reiki Practitioner, Ceremonial Facilitator, and recently completed certification in Lymphatic Iridology, deepening her understanding of the body’s innate wisdom and ability to restore balance.

At the heart of Sandra’s work is her signature message: “You Are More.” She believes every person carries an inner spark of creativity, resilience, and potential, and that imagination is one of our greatest gifts — a force that can reshape our thoughts, open new possibilities, and reconnect us with who we truly are.

In this episode, Sandra shares her journey of healing, self‑discovery, and empowerment. She explores how imagination can become a tool for transformation, how restorative practices create safe spaces for growth, and how reconnecting with our inner wisdom can change the way we move through trauma, grief, and life’s challenges.

This conversation is a reminder that you are more powerful, more resilient, and more capable than you have ever been taught to believe.

Simone opens up about:

• The early warning signs she didn’t realize were red flags
• The violent attack that nearly took her life
• The surgeries, rehabilitation, and emotional rebuilding that followed
• How domestic violence affects the brain, body, and identity
• Why silence protects abusers — and storytelling protects survivors
• Her mission to educate, advocate, and save lives through awareness

Today, Simone is an international speaker, survivor advocate, and a voice for those who can’t speak for themselves. Her courage is reshaping conversations around domestic violence, coercive control, and survivor empowerment.

This episode is a reminder that trauma doesn’t define you — your strength does.

Susan “SueZee” Finley — internationally known as The Sound Sourcer and The Bee Lady of Happiness — shares her powerful journey of healing, resilience, and transformation. Living with lupus shaped her path, but it never defined her. Instead, she turned her pain into purpose, using sound therapy to help others reconnect with their inner peace.

SueZee speaks about the moment she discovered the healing power of vibration, frequency, and intention — and how sound became the bridge between her body, her spirit, and her truth. She explores how acceptance is not a quiet surrender, but a deep tuning of the soul: a return to harmony after years of internal noise.

With her signature warmth, humor, and grounded presence, she reminds us that healing doesn’t always come through words. Sometimes it comes through resonance. Through breath. Through stillness. Through sound.

Her message is simple and profound:
When you accept yourself, your whole frequency changes.
And when your frequency changes, your life changes.

This talk is soothing, powerful, and deeply human — a reminder that acceptance is not just a mindset, but a vibration you learn to live in.

Teri Moore — author, speaker, and Impact Coach — shares a story shaped by resilience, culture, and survival. Born to a South Korean mother and a Black American father who served 25 years in the U.S. military, Teri grew up navigating two worlds, two identities, and a lifetime of challenges that could have broken her.

She speaks openly about surviving childhood abuse, rape, homelessness, the loss of both parents, and the moments when life pushed her to the edge. Instead of letting her pain define her, she transformed it into purpose. With over 25 years in entertainment and years of work as a youth mentor, parent and child advocate, and supporter of individuals with special needs, Teri has turned every hardship into a lesson in strength.

Her message is raw, honest, and deeply human:
Acceptance is not about forgetting what happened — it’s about reclaiming who you are because of it.

This talk is a reminder that your story doesn’t end where the pain began. It begins the moment you choose to rise.

Dr. Jennifer Paweleck‑Bellingrodt — known to thousands as “Dr. Jen” — brings two decades of clinical experience, military discipline, and no‑nonsense truth to the conversation on acceptance. A former Army psychologist turned private‑practice powerhouse, Dr. Jen has spent over 20 years helping people confront the stories, excuses, and self‑limiting beliefs that keep them stuck.

She breaks down why mindset and attitude are the foundation for everything in life, and why acceptance isn’t passive — it’s a decision. A choice. A turning point. Drawing from her work in therapy, consultation, lecturing, coaching, and her own lived experience, she explains how people can stop repeating the same painful patterns and finally “get over themselves” enough to move forward.

Dr. Jen also shares insights from her bestselling books — Fix Your Freaking Marriage, You’re Not Crazy: The Perimenopause Survival Guide, and Get Over It — and gives a preview of her upcoming work on indecision and the seven self‑limiting beliefs that block success.

This talk is bold, direct, and transformational — exactly what you expect from Dr. Jen.
Acceptance isn’t about giving up.
It’s about getting real… so you can finally get free.
