Charlene Madden: Finding Light in Darkness and Turning Pain into Purpose

Building resilience is understanding and taking self-responsibility
Ever wondered how someone can transform immense suffering into a beacon of hope? In this episode of 'Resilience in Life and Leadership', Stephanie Olson sits down with Charlene Madden for an unfiltered conversation about turning life's darkest moments into a source of strength and inspiration. Charlene's journey is a testament to human resilience.
After enduring over nine years of sexualized trauma, a decade of domestic violence, and more than thirty years battling mental illness and suicidal thoughts, Charlene was on the brink of ending her life. But a transformative women's workshop shifted her perspective entirely. Now, she dedicates her life to sharing her story and helping others find their own paths to healing.
Throughout their discussion, Charlene and Stephanie delve into the importance of taking responsibility for one's choices, using writing as a therapeutic tool, and breaking the stigma surrounding men's mental health. They also touch on how to support loved ones dealing with depression or suicidal ideation. This episode is not just a conversation; it's a lifeline for anyone feeling overwhelmed by their struggles.
Charlene's message is clear: no matter how deep the darkness, there is always a way to find light and purpose.
