The 9 Keys to Vital Living After Trauma
Manage episode 509175412 series 3565606
What does it really take to move from trauma, stress, and burnout into a life of vitality, purpose, and post-traumatic growth?
In this powerful episode of Growing Tall Poppies, I sit down with Dr. Deborah Zucker — naturopathic physician, mental health counselor, health coach, and award winning author of The Vitality Map and The Vitality Journal. Deborah shares her groundbreaking 9 Keys to Vital Living, which support deep healing, nervous system repair, and sustainable resilience.
Together, we explore:
✨ Why burnout is often a sign of unresolved trauma in the nervous system
✨ How cultivating resilience goes beyond self-care into nervous system repair
✨ The importance of saying a courageous “YES” — and pruning away draining “NOs”
✨ The role of community, connection, and vulnerability in true post-traumatic growth
✨ How to live like you matter — honoring your gifts without falling into self-sacrifice
Deborah also opens up about her own journey, navigating recurrent chronic fatigue, motherhood later in life, and the lessons she continues to learn about slowing down, honoring her truth, and showing up authentically.
If you’ve ever felt stuck, burnt out, or unsure how to move forward after trauma, this conversation is filled with compassion, wisdom, and practical tools to help you reclaim vitality and wholeness.
