Just a heads up: This episode contains discussions of healing after trauma. Some may find it upsetting. We encourage you to take care of yourself.
Today, we’re exploring the powerful connection between mindset, healing, and purpose. Too often, survivors are told to “move on” or “just be positive,” but real transformation requires more than empty platitudes; it demands courage, self-reflection, and a willingness to rewrite your story.
Lisa welcomes Lewis Huckstep, a purpose and transformation coach who has turned his own history of childhood trauma into a mission to help others reclaim their worth and step into the lives they were meant to live. Lewis shares how his deepest wounds became the seeds of his purpose, and how embracing vulnerability, setting boundaries, and healing old patterns allowed him to create a life of inspiration and service to others.
Together, Lisa and Lewis break down the myth that trauma defines you and discuss practical steps for transforming emotional triggers, breaking free from toxic cycles, and discovering your authentic self. They explore why purpose often emerges from our greatest pain, and how giving back can be the ultimate act of healing.
This episode is a call to action for anyone ready to move beyond survival and step into a life of meaning. Lisa and Lewis invite you to see your story not as a source of shame, but as the foundation for your greatest gift to the world. Healing isn’t about forgetting the past. It’s about using it to fuel your future.
If you’ve ever wondered how to turn adversity into inspiration or how to find purpose on the other side of pain, this conversation is for you.
