Understanding Trauma: In-Depth with Dr. MC McDonald

#277 If you chose to press play on this episode, you’ve already done something brave. Talking about trauma isn’t easy. But each time we meet ourselves with tenderness instead of judgment, we create space for healing to bloom. I had the honor of sitting down with Dr. MC McDonald, a trauma researcher, professor, and life coach whose grounded wisdom and compassionate approach completely shifted the way I view trauma, healing, and the stories we carry in our bodies. This episode is a reminder that your trauma response isn’t a flaw to fix, but a sign that your body did everything it could to protect you. And that, my love, is powerful.

What’s Inside This Episode?

• Why your trauma response was never wrong and how to release the shame around your healing.
• The long, patriarchal history behind our definitions of trauma (and why that matters).
• How trauma can make you feel like you’ve lost yourself and what to do with that emptiness.
• What the “Hope Circuit” is, and how absurd daydreams (yes, really!) can rewire your brain and spark joy again.
