I was blessed to have engaged in a beautiful conversation with Madeline Popelka, writer, trauma survivor, and mental health, and LGBTQ+ advocate. Please join us as we discuss:
I’m Madeline, a writer, trauma survivor, and mental health, and LGBTQ+ advocate.
Born and raised in the Bay Area, I grew up in an Asian American household where mental health was never discussed. As a daughter of a refugee, intergenerational trauma runs through my family, and I struggled with my mental health for my entire life. I thought that I was broken and damaged beyond repair, and I suffered in isolation. And when I started to experience PTSD symptoms in my late twenties, I didn’t know the first step in getting help.
Nobody taught me how to heal, and I knew I wasn’t alone. As I began learning life lessons along my healing journey, I felt an urge to share my insights so other sufferers like myself wouldn’t feel so isolated. In February 2020, I created a space for other trauma survivors, @HealingFromPTSD, which quickly became the largest trauma healing community on Instagram.
Through healing, I’ve discovered and reconnected with parts of myself, and I’ve cultivated a sense of internal peace and freedom that I’d never experienced before. I’m on a mission to help others do the same.
My first book, You’re Going to Be Okay, was released in September 2022 (order it here!), and I have a newsletter, Lost & Found, about healing, self-discovery, and more. Sign up here.

After emerging from the challenges she encountered with her own healing, she shifted gears and began to restructure her business around helping others help themselves.
She founded Rooted Wisdom Coaching earlier this year where she now works as an ancestral healing coach. She guides clients to receive their own intuitive insights about traumas, limiting patterns, and other blocks they experience, and assist them in releasing these energies themselves through their own intention. Her passion is helping others overcome ancestral patterns and past traumas by empowering themselves in their own healing.
