If you're working twice as hard as your colleagues but getting half the recognition, your trauma responses might be costing you more than you realize. In this episode, we're diving deep into the hidden career costs of unprocessed trauma and what it really takes to move from survival mode to sustainable success.

🎯 IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL DISCOVER:

* The three main ways unprocessed trauma shows up in your career (and why they're so hard to see)
* Why hypervigilance, people-pleasing, and perfectionism are costing you recognition—even though they look like strengths
* The "invisible load" that trauma survivors carry at work that nobody else can see
* Why traditional career advice fails trauma survivors (and what actually works instead)
* What integration-focused career development looks like—and how it's different from both therapy and traditional coaching
* How to start working WITH your trauma responses instead of against them

💡 THE RECOGNITION GAP
You're doing exceptional work. You're bringing unique insights born from lived experience. You're emotionally intelligent, resilient, and deeply committed to excellence.

But so much of your energy is going into managing trauma responses that you're invisible in the ways that lead to career advancement. You're not advocating for yourself because it feels unsafe. You're not highlighting achievements because visibility feels dangerous. You're not building strategic relationships because trust is complicated.

This isn't because something is wrong with you—it's because you're carrying an invisible load that others aren't carrying.

🌟 WHAT'S POSSIBLE
When you start working with your trauma responses instead of against them, everything shifts. You stop feeling like you're working twice as hard for half the recognition. Your healing journey stops being a detour from your career and becomes preparation for it.

The insights you've gained, the resilience you've built, the empathy you've developed—these become your professional superpowers.

What if the very experience of surviving trauma has given you exactly what you need to lead others through organizational change?

In this episode, we're exploring trauma-informed change management – and why trauma survivors often make the most effective change leaders. If you've ever felt like your heightened awareness of how change impacts people makes you "too sensitive" for leadership, this conversation will completely shift your perspective.

We'll talk about:
* Why your trauma-developed pattern recognition is a strategic advantage in change initiatives
* The hidden costs of traditional change management that ignores nervous system responses
* How to create psychological safety during organizational transitions
* Reading the room in ways that prevent resistance and build genuine buy-in
* Leading change at a pace that honors human capacity without sacrificing momentum
* The difference between managing change and facilitating transformation

Whether you're leading a small team through a process shift or steering an entire organization through major transformation, understanding the neurobiology of change will make you a more effective, compassionate, and strategic leader.

This isn't about making change "soft" – it's about making it sustainable. When you honor how humans actually process and adapt to change, you get better outcomes, stronger teams, and lasting transformation instead of performative compliance.

Entrepreneurship As A Trauma Survivor Pt 2 | Your Trauma-Wise Career Guide Ep 27

What does it really take to build a business while healing from trauma? In this vulnerable follow-up episode, I'm getting real about the messy middle of trauma-informed entrepreneurship.

After our first attempt at recording this episode where a protective part showed up and wouldn't let me be vulnerable, I came back to try again - this time with full transparency about what it's actually like to run a trauma-informed business as a trauma survivor.

In this episode, you'll hear:

* The turning point that led me to create a trauma-informed career development company
* Why therapy alone wasn't enough - and what else I needed to succeed
* How attachment wounds made asking for help nearly impossible (and how I worked through it)
* The real talk about capacity, overwhelm, and moving at the speed of your nervous system
* Why traditional business advice doesn't work for trauma survivors - and what to do instead
* A powerful client success story that reminds me why this work matters
* The one piece of advice I wish I'd known before starting: go slow and trust your gut

Key Takeaways:
* You take your trauma with you into entrepreneurship, but it can become your superpower
* Working at the speed of your nervous system isn't a limitation - it's wisdom
* Community and support are non-negotiables, not nice-to-haves
* Small, bite-sized chunks of learning honor your capacity
* Trauma-informed business requires modifying traditional strategies through a trauma-informed lens

Think leaving your corporate job will solve your workplace trauma triggers? Think again. Your trauma doesn't stay behind when you become an entrepreneur – and that's exactly what we need to talk about.

🚨 REAL TALK ALERT: This episode didn't go as planned, and we're sharing it anyway.

In this raw, unfiltered conversation, trauma-informed career coach Cyndi Bennett gets interviewed by Holly Dillon about the harsh realities of entrepreneurship as a trauma survivor. What was supposed to be a vulnerable deep-dive turned into something completely different when Cyndi's protective parts showed up to the recording.

Here's what you'll learn:

✅ The 3 biggest challenges trauma survivors face as entrepreneurs:

* Visibility struggles (why we hide in our own businesses)
* Capacity management (why we burn out faster)
* Isolation tendencies (why we think we can do it all alone)

✅ Why your trauma follows you into entrepreneurship (and why that's actually normal)
✅ The real cost of therapy on your business capacity (something no one talks about)
✅ How attachment wounds make us believe we can "do it ourselves"
✅ Why trauma survivors need a "board of directors" more than anyone

🎯 Perfect for you if:

* You're a trauma survivor considering entrepreneurship
* You're already an entrepreneur struggling with capacity, visibility, or isolation
* You want to understand how trauma shows up in business ownership
* You're tired of generic business advice that doesn't account for your healing journey
