In this powerful episode of A Trauma Survivor Thriver’s Podcast, host Lorilee Binstock talks with Stephanie Hutchins, author of See Through: The Art and Cost of Radical Transparency. Together, they explore what it means to live authentically after trauma — setting boundaries, embracing imperfection, and embodying post-traumatic growth. Stephanie shares her journey from high-functioning trauma to embodied healing, discussing how listening to the body and nervous system leads to genuine transformation. ✨ Topics Covered: What radical transparency looks like in real life Setting boundaries without losing yourself Healing the nervous system after trauma High-functioning trauma and authenticity Post-traumatic growth and self-compassion About the Guest: Stephanie M.

Grounded in lived experience of childhood abuse, sudden loss, and high-functioning suffering, she guides others to move beyond survival and into integration, proving that healing isn't about erasing the past but about learning to live fully seen, even with the scars. https://www.serotinouslife.com/see-through https://www.facebook.com/serotinouslife https://www.youtube.com/@serotinouslife https://www.instagram.com/serotinouslife https://www.linkedin.com/in/serotinouslife
