FINDING SAFETY AFTER TRAUMA SUMMIT Chris will also be joining me as one of the speakers for the Finding Safety After Trauma Summit, happening October 22–23, 2026, from 10:00 AM–5:00 PM ET each day. I’m looking forward to having Chris be part of this special two-day event and sharing more conversations around safety, healing, and moving forward after trauma. Join us: https://hub.htdholisticservices.com/finding-safety-summit In this episode, I’m joined by Chris Dyer, Strategic Advisor and speaker, for a conversation about finding safety, trusting yourself, and learning to listen to what you need. Chris works with highly sensitive and empathic leaders who often carry a lot of responsibility. From the outside, they may seem like they have everything together, while on the inside they may feel stretched thin, unsupported, or unsure of what comes next. We talk about some of the patterns that can make it difficult to trust yourself, especially when you’ve spent a long time taking care of others or trying to meet expectations. Chris shares her perspective on slowing down, paying attention to what your mind and body are telling you, and making choices that feel right for you. We also talk about self-awareness, the nervous system, compassionate leadership, and what it can look like to move forward without losing yourself along the way. I hope this conversation reminds you that you don’t have to have everything figured out. Rebuilding trust in yourself can start with simply listening to yourself again.

Lizbeth is an Internal Family Systems practitioner, Certified Level 3, educator, writer, laughter yoga leader, and conflict mediator.

Register for the summit: https://hub.htdholisticservices.com/confidencesummit Devorah Hake Brinckerhoff is a professional artist and transformational guide who developed Soul Portraits, a healing methodology that combines artistic expression with spiritual and emotional work to help people transform trauma into empowerment. A gallery-represented artist with more than 30 years of experience, Devorah discovered that creativity helped her regulate her nervous system, release limiting beliefs, and understand trauma that had been stored in her body. Her artwork revealed emotions and memories that she could not access through words or conscious thought alone. This experience inspired the Soul Portraits process. Using journals, photographs, letters, mementos, and mixed-media materials, participants symbolically deconstruct their past and reconstruct their experiences into meaningful artwork. The process helps make invisible emotions visible while creating a safe space for healing and self-discovery. From her home studio in Oregon, Devorah coaches small groups, creates commissioned Soul Portraits, and facilitates virtual and in-person workshops. Her work helps people release old stories, reconnect with their inner wisdom, and rediscover their authentic selves.

Grief and chronic illness have a way of changing every part of your life. In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Cyndee Dhalai to talk about what it really looks like to keep going when life doesn't go as planned. Cyndee Dhalai has worn many hats throughout her life, teacher, counselor, wife, mother, widow, patient, and writer. After spending more than 25 years in education, she now shares her own journey of grief, chronic illness, resilience, and hope to encourage others who may be walking through difficult seasons. During our conversation, we talk about what grief has taught her, how she has learned to live with chronic illness, the importance of choosing hope even in painful moments, and why our struggles don't have to define who we become. If you've ever experienced loss, faced health challenges, or simply needed a reminder that healing is possible, I think you'll find encouragement in Cyndee's story. 📖 Recommended Book: Grief Is the Price You Pay for Love: Run into the Fire; Discover Me in the Ashes https://amzn.to/4n1t8Wn 💚 Join Our Supportive Trauma Healing Community: https://HealingFromTraumaTogether.com/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/healthrivedream 📲 Connect with Karen Robinson: Website: https://HealThriveDream.com/ Website: https://htdholisticservices.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/healthrivedream_ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/healthrivedream YouTube: https://youtube.com/@traumarecoveryexpert Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/healthrivedream LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/karenrobinson2022/ Email: [email protected] 💬 What resonated most with you from this conversation?

In this episode, we welcome Julie Barth for a powerful conversation about loss, caregiving, emotional abuse, survival, and rebuilding life after trauma. JULIE BARTH is a writer, mother of six, trauma survivor, and founder of the Colin James Barth Outreach, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting women-led households in times of crisis. Julie’s memoir, NOTES FROM A BLACKBERRY, is a deeply moving account of love, loss, and resilience, chronicling her journey as a special needs parent while navigating the heartbreaking realities of her first husband’s battle with cancer. Julie discusses the complexities of loss, emotional abuse, and rebuilding life after trauma. With so many women silently enduring these struggles—whether as caregivers, widows, or survivors of toxic relationships—Julie’s story is both deeply personal and yet universally relevant. Your conversation with her will provide your listeners actionable steps they can take toward healing, securing safety and resources, and ultimately reclaiming personal power. For many women, the burden of caregiving, financial instability, or an emotionally abusive relationship can feel isolating and impossible to escape. Julie’s journey—from raising a daughter with a rare genetic disorder to losing her first husband to cancer and then surviving years of financial and emotional abuse in her second marriage—sheds light on the hidden struggles so many endure behind closed doors. Through her nonprofit and her writing, she’s committed to helping women in crisis understand that leaving isn’t just possible—it’s necessary. Julie’s insight offers a compelling discussion about resilience, recognizing red flags, and taking back control of their lives.
