Cheryl McMillan: From Childhood Trauma to Healing and Empowerment

I'm comfortable now with feeling the pain, because what I look at is I have these moments where I actually feel warm in the heart.
What happens when a child's life is marred by abuse and abandonment, yet they find a way to rise above it all? In this episode of 'Recovery Talks: The Podcast', Marc Lee Shannon sits down with Cheryl McMillan, a trauma survivor who has turned her pain into a powerful story of recovery and empowerment. Cheryl opens up about her harrowing childhood experiences and the pivotal moment when a compassionate 3rd-grade teacher made her feel safe for the first time.
This episode takes you through Cheryl's journey of self-discovery, including the unexpected revelation of her PTSD while listening to an audiobook during a long car ride. Through therapy, Cheryl learned to feel safe in her own body and began the arduous process of healing. Now a skilled facilitator and narrative Enneagram teacher, Cheryl emphasizes the importance of creating spaces where others can share their stories.
Her story is not just about surviving trauma; it's about finding the strength to move forward and help others do the same. If you're looking for a tale of resilience and the power of human connection, this episode is a must-listen.
