Susan Snow: From Trauma to Resilience, Healing After PTSD

Susan Snow: From Trauma to Resilience, Healing After PTSD What does resilience actually look like when life changes in an instant? In this episode of Rising to Resilience, Sharon Hujik sits down with Susan Snow to share a powerful story of trauma, survival, and healing. At just 17 years old, Susan’s life was forever changed when her father, a Los Angeles police detective, was killed in a targeted act of violence. In the aftermath, she was left to navigate grief, fear, and overwhelming emotional pain; without the support or understanding she needed. For years, Susan lived in survival mode. She masked her pain, pushed forward, and tried to build a life while quietly struggling with panic attacks, depression, and undiagnosed PTSD. It wasn’t until years later — after a breaking point triggered by another traumatic event — that she finally found the right help, the right language, and the beginning of true healing. In this conversation, Sharon and Susan explore: <ul><li>What unresolved trauma looks like over time</li><li>How PTSD can affect your life years after the initial event</li><li>The impact of not being seen or understood in your pain</li><li>Why the right support can change everything</li><li>Practical tools for regulating the nervous system and beginning healing</li><li>What resilience really means after trauma </li></ul>Susan’s story is a powerful reminder that healing is possible — even after years of struggle — and that resilience is not about avoiding pain but learning how to live and grow through it. <hr /><h2>Connect with Susan Snow</h2>Website: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://susansnowspeaks.com" target="_blank">https://susansnowspeaks.com</a> LinkedIn: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/susansnowrealtor/" target="_blank">Susan Snow</a>Instagram: <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/susan_snow1" target="_blank">Susan Snow</a> <hr /><h2>About Rising to Resilience</h2>Rising to Resilience is a podcast featuring real stories of women who have faced adversity and found strength, clarity, and growth on the other side.

Joy Scott: Losing a Child, Finding Faith. Choosing Hope in the Hard

Joy Scott: Losing a Child, Finding Faith — Choosing Hope in the Hard What do you do when life doesn’t just get hard… it breaks your heart? In this deeply moving episode of Rising to Resilience, Sharon Hujik sits down with Joy Scott, author of Flow: Keeping Your Heart Alive When Life Hurts, to talk about grief, faith, and the choice to keep going when everything inside you wants to shut down. Joy shares her story of walking through unimaginable loss, including the death of her four-year-old son after a brain tumor diagnosis, along with years of compounding trauma, betrayal, and a season of deep depression that followed. But this conversation isn’t just about loss. It’s about the moment everything could have gone a different way. The moment when Joy realized:<blockquote>“If you don’t open up and reach out… you’re not going to make it.”</blockquote>And the choice she made in that moment changed the course of her life. In this episode, Sharon and Joy explore:<ul><li>What it’s like to lose a child and still hold onto faith</li><li>Why grief doesn’t always show up immediately — and how it can surface years later</li><li>The hidden battle of depression and emotional shutdown</li><li>The power of being seen, believed, and supported in your pain</li><li>The difference between isolating and reaching out</li><li>Why forgiveness is a process — not a one-time decision</li><li>How to “keep your heart alive” after repeated trauma</li></ul> Joy also shares her FLOW framework, a simple but powerful way to process pain, realign your thoughts, and move toward healing. This episode is for anyone who has walked through loss, faced overwhelming circumstances, or wondered how to keep going when life doesn’t look anything like you thought it would.

Karli Auble: From Pregnancy Loss to Resilience, The Science of Positive Psychology

What happens when a highly analytical, systems-thinking engineer is forced to confront one of the most emotional experiences of her life? In this episode of Rising to Resilience, Sharon sits down with Karli Auble, founder of Life in Labor, systems engineer, and positive psychology graduate, to explore how a life-threatening ectopic pregnancy became the catalyst for a profound shift in how she understands resilience, mindset, and human flourishing. Karli shares how her analytical brain initially tried to push through trauma, minimize her experience, and return to work immediately after surgery. But the emotional aftermath forced her to confront something deeper, the inner wisdom that many high achievers ignore when they’re busy pushing forward. That moment of disruption led Karli down an unexpected path into positive psychology, mindfulness, and the neuroscience of resilience. Together, Sharon and Karli explore:<ul><li>How trauma can become a doorway to post-traumatic growth</li><li>Why high achievers often struggle to slow down and process emotions</li><li>The neuroscience behind negative thought patterns and resilience</li><li>How mindfulness can shift the brain’s pathways toward growth</li><li>Why motherhood often becomes a turning point for deeper self-awareness</li><li>How positive psychology helps people move from surviving to thriving</li></ul> Karli also shares her THRIVE framework, which helps people develop healthier thought patterns, habits, and environments that support long-term resilience. This conversation is especially powerful for high achievers, analytical thinkers, and anyone navigating a season where life did not go according to plan. <h1>Connect with Karli</h1>Website <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.lifenlabor.com/" target="_blank">https://lifeinlabor.com</a>LinkedIn <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/karliauble/" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/karli-auble/</a>
