Welcome to The Healing Place Podcast! Thank you for joining me as I engage in a deep and powerful conversation with Chris Haughee about trauma-informed ministry practices and his experience as a chaplain to the children of Intermountain, a residential facility for severely emotionally disturbed children in Helena, Montana.
I was fortunate to have the opportunity to sit down with Elizabeth Perry, founder of Interpersonal Insights, based in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Elizabeth shared her insights on trauma, the healing power of nature, her journey to uncover the lies in her life and find her truth, and how she is helping others to do the same.

On this episode, I welcome guest Stacy Brookman, host of the Real Life Resilience Podcast, as we discuss her role as a resilience and life storytelling expert, finding clarity, her upcoming Emotional Abuse Recovery and Resilience Summit, and more!

I thoroughly enjoyed this on-air conversation with writer/activist, Cissy White, as we discussed trauma, healing, her brilliant insights and a shared connection in our philosophies on trauma-informed care.
Cis is the Northeast Region Community Facilitator for ACEs Connection and the Manager of the Parenting with ACEs Community. I’m the founder of Heal Write Now and a trauma-mama-writer-survivor who believes it’s possible to live, love and parent well after ACEs, possible but not easy. I believe taking ACEs and trauma conversations out of clinical settings can reduce shame, inspire hope and lets us learn from each other. My motto is: It’s not trauma-informed if it’s not informed by trauma survivors.
You can find out more about Cissy and her mission at the following websites:
I was super excited to sit down with Jen Vertanen: self-described “emotional sidekick, #worldclasspodcaster, fan of uncomfortable conversations, broken + whole” on The Healing Place Podcast. Jen and I connected through ACES Connection and it was an instant soul-sista “I get you” vibe. You totally need to check out her website. I promise it will be worth the visit! Jen Vertanen website: “The frank, no-fucks given approach to dealing with your pain.” Brilliant!
We discuss her journey, transitions, mission, podcasts, and a glimpse into her trauma story, as well as what she’s doing to help other women heal. I love the idea of finding that hand to hold that works for YOU. Jen just might be the girl you need. If so, please reach out to her for a conversation.
I am excited to be joining her on an upcoming episode of her podcast, “Going There”. I’ll keep you posted when that happens.
Peace to you and remember to be gentle with yourself,
I am excited to introduce Vic Compher and Rodney Whittenberg, co-producers of the award-winning film “Portraits of Professional Caregivers: Their Passion, Their Pain.” We engage in a deep and informative conversation about their mission, journey, roles in the development of this powerful project, and more.
I had the honor of viewing the film before speaking with them on air and found myself moved to tears. I connected with this film and the featured caregivers not only as a trauma-survivor, but as someone who has worked in the mental health field and school settings as a caregiver. So much appreciation and positive support sent to all of those who have answered the calling of caregiver.
A huge thank you to Vic and Rodney for sharing their film and insights with us all!
