This week Dr. Lee is joined by Madeline Popelka, trauma survivor turned mental health advocate, as she shares her inspiring journey.

Madeline is an author, and also the creator of the Healing from PTSD community. Her personal experiences with trauma, stigma and shame, often overlooked in literature around PTSD, echo through her voice, resonating with those who feel alone and unheard.

Madeline's story is a vivid testament to the power of self-discovery and inner healing. She shares about her path to self-realization, how she learned to prioritize her needs over societal expectations, and how she found her true purpose and passion. Her life's trajectory, a clear deviation from her initial plans, is a symbol of her resilience and growth. Listen closely as she shares the wisdom she acquired from her healing journey - wisdom that will inspire you to find peace and contentment in your own journey.

But healing looks different for everyone, and joy, as Madeline emphasizes, is essential to making life worth living. Even in the mundane, joy exists. Madeline shares insights as a nurse practitioner, and she explores understanding those who are stuck in a life they don't want but don't want to actively harm themselves. This enlightening conversation on healing from trauma and embracing individuality in the process is sure to inspire you to seek your own path towards healing.
