Ep214 - Healing from Trauma and Abuse with Healing Mentor & Author, Beth Jones

The Inside Story Podcast with April Adams Pertuis

Trauma and healing are powerful forces that shape our lives in ways we may not fully realize. While trauma can leave deep scars, it also offers an opportunity for growth and transformation. And then healing is the journey through which we reclaim our stories and use them as tools for empowerment. This journey not only impacts personal well-being but also has the potential to create positive change in relationships and professional environments.

In this episode of The Inside Story Podcast, I sit down with Beth Jones, a long-time friend, Lightbeamers client, and author of the upcoming book Becoming an Empowered Survivor. Beth shares her powerful journey of healing from trauma and abuse, offering insights into how storytelling has been a transformative tool in her life.

Beth is such an inspiration, and I invite you to listen in as we talk about:

• Turning trauma into a source of strength and empowerment after going through healing
• How storytelling played a vital role in Beth’s healing, and how she’s now helping others do the same
• Writing about trauma from a place of healing and focusing on empowerment, not blame
• Understanding that everyone’s story and experience of trauma is unique, and it’s important to focus on your own story
• The meaning of Beth's book cover that features a bright yellow design and dragonfly imagery and what they symbolize
• Confronting and processing trauma and breaking free from old patterns and masks
• How the end of the healing journey is freedom, joy, and love—a happier story ending for those willing to step into their brave

Beth’s story is an inspiring reminder that no matter how deep the wounds of trauma, healing and empowerment are possible. Grab a copy of her book Becoming an Empowered Survivor and explore the transformative power of storytelling in your own life. Share your story—not only to heal yourself but also to shine a light for others on their path to healing.
