From Lived Experience to Lasting Impact: A Trauma-Informed Journey in Social Work
For many entering the field of social work, the calling comes from a deeply personal place. As someone who has navigated the complexities of trauma, mental health, and healing firsthand, Ebonie understands what it means to feel unseen, unheard, and misunderstood. But She also knows the power of compassionate, trauma-informed care. As a social work student Ebonie is committed to breaking the stigma, amplifying lived experiences, and creating safe spaces for those who feel they have no where to turn.
The journey is about more than academics; its about human connection, systemic change, and ensuring that every person-regardless of the past-has the opportunity to heal and thrive. Join us in this conversation as we explore how lived experiences can shape the future of trauma-informed social work.

Restoring the Caregiver: A Nurse's Journey from Trauma to Self-Healing
For so long, nurses like my guest today carried the weight of the world—holding hands that had to let go too soon, working through exhaustion, witnessing loss on an unimaginable scale. But what happens after the crisis ends? How do you restore yourself after giving everything? Today, we sit with a nurse who lived through the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic, who watched patients take their final breaths alone, and who is now on a journey of self-recovery.
