93. How Healing Actually Happens, One Percent at a Time | Meg Tuohey

Episode 93 | How Healing Actually Happens, One Percent at a Time | Meg Tuohey

Nobody was coming for me. And when I finally knew that, I knew I had to be the one.

This episode is different. I am not in the interviewer's chair. My dear colleague and coach Deb Erickson turned the tables and interviewed me, and I said yes because I believe that if Wisdom Stripes is going to ask others to tell the truth about their journey, I have to be willing to tell mine.

In this conversation I share, for the first time on this platform, where I really came from. The trauma I lived through. The years of weekly trauma work that rebuilt me from the ground up. The little girl watching through a car window at another family gathering for dinner. The moment I understood that nobody was coming and what I decided to do with that.

I also share what has grown from that pain: the mission behind Wisdom Stripes, the eight-year community at Making Relationships Work, the HeartPrint book that has been years in the making, and why I believe healing happens not in one great leap but one percent at a time.

🎧 Tune in and hear:

• What I mean when I say I have experienced or witnessed every type of abuse there is
• Three years of weekly trauma work, sponsored by a victims of crime programme, and the therapist who changed my life
• The moment at around age 12 where I decided: one day I will be the person that comes
• Why I believe the pain body is not your enemy, it is the fuel
• The law of similarity: the piece of wisdom I want you to walk away with most

If you are in a painful place right now, borrow my story. Borrow Deb's heart. We are here for you. 💚
