58 | How to Navigate Trauma and PTSD to Step Into Purpose and Hope with Katy Parker

Hey, Sister-friend 👋🏽

I’m talking with trauma survivor Katy Parker today about her journey from unprocessed childhood trauma that was brought to light after an accident.

Following the accident, Katy was diagnosed with PTSD and had to learn to navigate a new reality. Her journey includes journaling during lockdown in hospital, grieving and facing the pain of the past, finding purpose in her pain and living with hope.

Today, Katy Parker is a well-being writer who integrates mental health and faith into her words. She is a mental health advocate and mentor who shares her journey of healing and hope on her Journeyofsmiley blog.

Katy believes that God left her in this world for a reason, and during her recovery, she created the PTSD: My Story Project,  a safe space for trauma survivors to share their stories and let others know they aren't alone.

Her goal is to encourage and empower trauma survivors and support them on their healing journey. Katy believes that healing shouldn’t be a luxury and everyone deserves a chance to heal.

I hope this episode blesses and inspires you.

In Healing and Love 😊
