The Trauma Within Reflecting on Healing Journeys and Intentional Resilience W/ Chris
Thursday, 14 November, 2024
Do you have any questions, any comments about the episode? Jimanekia would love to hear from you!What does it mean to truly heal from trauma, and how do we create spaces that nurture this journey? As we wrap up the first season of Trauma Queen, we reflect on the profound conversations we've had since 2018, enriched by the invaluable contribution of our talented editor, Chris. After my father's passing, podcasting became a beacon of passion and healing, allowing us to explore the depths of trauma with authenticity and grace. Chris shares their unique perspective from behind the scenes, emphasizing the importance of selecting guests who bring genuine, personal connections to their stories.The road hasn't been easy, navigating personal challenges like relapse, breakups, and loss. Yet, the podcast has been a pillar of focus and resilience, serving as a testament to the power of intention and community support. We critique societal pressures of resilience, particularly within predominantly white spaces, and challenge the platitudes that often accompany this narrative. As someone who grew up navigating the contrasting worlds of Chicago and its suburbs, I share my journey of understanding the true meaning of strength beyond stereotypes and cultural misperceptions.Looking ahead, we're filled with excitement about the future. Our visions include global projects, plans for expansion, and powerful collaborations aimed at addressing trauma and addiction on a larger scale. We share anecdotes about intrusive political messages and humorous gym escapades, always with an eye on personal growth and community impact. As we prepare for new seasons, we’re thankful for the trust and stories shared by our guests and listeners. Here's to manifesting blessings and creating spaces that genuinely support our healing journeys.Thank you all for listening. Set a boundary with yourself this week, set a boundary with someone else. If someone else does not respect that boundary. LET THEM LOOSE YOU! Stay hydrated internally and externally. We do not have an ashy family.IG: @The_Trauma_WithinYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@thetraumawithinJimanekia Ig: @Jimanekia
