From a blog to a brand, our platform has evolved into a dedicated movement empowering trauma survivors worldwide. Through advocacy, events, and engaging content creation including a video series and podcast, we celebrate the resilience of survivors as they start over and find their callings in life. We’re more than just a community; we’re a force for positive change, fundraising for those in need and providing a supportive space for healing and growth.
As a survivor of childhood trauma and domestic violence, Dana decided to chronicle her own journey along with her husband, Tim, who is also a trauma survivor through his years in law enforcement. This path had led to what we like to call Survivor Empowerment. After the crisis is over, and you are walking in the day-to-day, how do you find yourself and live the abundant life that Jesus died on a cross to give you? We hope to assist you in this.
We also want to change the perception of what a trauma survivor looks like to the public eye. Why can’t the image be one that personifies hope, determination, and doing incredible things in this world? We want to inspire others to know that there is life after trauma, and it can be a successful one!
Some parts will be emotional, and others will be light-hearted, but that is exactly what trauma recovery is, life after crisis. It’s a crazy, beautiful journey. Let’s go on it together!
