What does it take to come back from trauma?

How do you move from surviving to thriving after a traumatic event?

There are amazing strength building opportunities when you come out on the other side of trauma. You don't have to get stuck in the negative parts of your story, and it’s even possible to leverage it into transformation.

Welcome to episode 10 of the Take Notes with Jen Rafferty podcast! In this episode, I’m speaking with Nichole Myles, who weaves together compelling storytelling with experience and expertise to engage listeners in a journey of self-discovery, the ups and the downs of growth, and how to recover from emotional trauma.

Nichole brings more than 20 years of experience in education, nonprofits and leadership. Having gone from a traditional upper middle class life to losing everything living in domestic violence shelters and having to rebuild an entire life while raising three children.

In our conversation we delve into why resilience is important, its true purpose, and how we are wildly overselling it in today’s society. Also, we discuss that trauma informed classrooms and teachers don't have to be heavy or hard- and how to get it right!

Today is all about finding a pathway to healing and feeling empowered about your external circumstances.

Nichole doesn't just speak about post traumatic growth, she's lived it. She teaches how to really lean into these experiences in a way that amplifies your future and moves past survivorship to thrivership!

Stay empowered,
Jen
