**Trigger Warning** This episode contains a discussion on sexual abuse. Although we discuss the power of healing and hope, we understand that merely discussing this topic may be triggering for some listeners. 

What if you could transform your deepest pain into a powerful force for healing and change? Join us as we welcome Danielle Shea, a healing coach for sexual abuse survivors, who shares her incredible journey from trauma to becoming a beacon of hope for others. Danielle reveals how she helps survivors reclaim joy and fulfillment through activities that move energy, like dance parties and nature walks, and teaches the importance of turning pain into purposeful action. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the profound impact of trauma and the potential for a life beyond mere survival.

We dive into the hard-hitting realities of sexual abuse and trauma, shedding light on the core issue of power dynamics. Through the tragic story of a soldier forced to work with her attacker, we discuss the systemic failures that allow such situations to persist. Danielle emphasizes the critical role of anger as a catalyst for positive change and healing. She also shares the therapeutic power of creating a kindness rock garden, a tribute to resilience that transforms grief and anger into something beautiful and constructive.

Community support is paramount in the healing process, and Danielle’s personal experiences underscore this truth. She recounts a poignant tale of two strangers whose unexpected kindness had a lasting impact on her recovery. By highlighting the importance of recognizing red flags and the often-overlooked issue of male sexual abuse, we drive home the message that kindness and support can come from the most unexpected places and have profound effects on those in need. Tune in to be inspired by stories of resilience and the transformative power of kindness in overcoming trauma.

It's one thing to highlight the kindness that we see in the world, but it's another to, as I put in many of my social media posts, #bethechange. I am donating all of my royalties from the sale of my book, Change A World; In Order to Change The World to local and national non-profits. Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
