Become A Trauma Informed Coach

What if the most radical thing you could do for your community is not to argue — but to be deeply, visibly well?

Today on the podcast, Lindsay shares anecdotes and insights on the power of non-confrontational activism, emphasizing healing and personal growth as catalysts for community change.

Today Lindsay shares:

• A reframe on what activism can look like, in any community;
• Why healing yourself is activism;
• The power of story, questions, and quiet alignment; and
• How to influence without burning out or needing others to agree.

Whether you’ve left a tight-knit faith community or just feel out of place in your specific culture, this episode is a must-listen.
