Dealing with trauma and shame from our past can be tremendously heavy burdens to carry—but they don’t have to define us.

These horrible experiences often shape our identity, our relationships, and even how we view the world. But one of the most important conversations we can have is how to heal from those experiences.

It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Daniela Tilbrook. Daniela is a trauma survivor, coach, and the author of the powerful new book, Not My Shame: Healing Childhood Trauma. She shares her deeply personal journey of surviving a decade of childhood sexual abuse, the years of silence that followed, and the transformative steps she’s taken to heal, reclaim her voice, and now helps others do the same.

You’ll hear how meditation and The Miracle Morning were game-changers for Daniela in rebuilding a sense of faith and purpose and helped her shift from surviving to enjoying a purposeful life again. Whether you’ve experienced trauma yourself or want to support someone who has, this episode offers a message of hope, practical tools for healing, and a reminder that no matter your past, you have the power to choose your future.
