Please note that this podcast is created with the intention of providing individuals with a platform to share their personal stories of overcoming trauma and adversity. The purpose is to inspire and empower listeners by showcasing the resilience and success of these individuals.

However, it is important to be aware that some of the discussions around raw trauma experiences may evoke strong emotions and potentially trigger personal memories or emotions related to your own life or someone you know. We apologize in advance for any distress caused by these discussions.

    Simone O’Brien’s story is one of the most powerful and heartbreaking domestic violence cases in Australia — and one of the most inspiring survivorship journeys in the world.

    In this raw and unfiltered conversation, Simone sits down with Your Trauma Talks to share the night that changed her life forever: when someone she trusted brutally attacked her, leaving her with life‑threatening injuries, permanent trauma, and a long road to recovery.

    Simone opens up about:

    • The early warning signs she didn’t realize were red flags
    • The violent attack that nearly took her life
    • The surgeries, rehabilitation, and emotional rebuilding that followed
    • How domestic violence affects the brain, body, and identity
    • Why silence protects abusers — and storytelling protects survivors
    • Her mission to educate, advocate, and save lives through awareness

    Today, Simone is an international speaker, survivor advocate, and a voice for those who can’t speak for themselves. Her courage is reshaping conversations around domestic violence, coercive control, and survivor empowerment.

    This episode is a reminder that trauma doesn’t define you — your strength does.

  • Acceptance: When Sound Becomes Medicine
    Apr 26 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Susan “SueZee” Finley — internationally known as The Sound Sourcer and The Bee Lady of Happiness — shares her powerful journey of healing, resilience, and transformation. Living with lupus shaped her path, but it never defined her. Instead, she turned her pain into purpose, using sound therapy to help others reconnect with their inner peace.

    SueZee speaks about the moment she discovered the healing power of vibration, frequency, and intention — and how sound became the bridge between her body, her spirit, and her truth. She explores how acceptance is not a quiet surrender, but a deep tuning of the soul: a return to harmony after years of internal noise.

    With her signature warmth, humor, and grounded presence, she reminds us that healing doesn’t always come through words. Sometimes it comes through resonance. Through breath. Through stillness. Through sound.

    Her message is simple and profound:
    When you accept yourself, your whole frequency changes.
    And when your frequency changes, your life changes.

    This talk is soothing, powerful, and deeply human — a reminder that acceptance is not just a mindset, but a vibration you learn to live in.

  • Acceptance: Turning Pain Into Power
    Apr 26 2026

    Send us Fan Mail

    Teri Moore — author, speaker, and Impact Coach — shares a story shaped by resilience, culture, and survival. Born to a South Korean mother and a Black American father who served 25 years in the U.S. military, Teri grew up navigating two worlds, two identities, and a lifetime of challenges that could have broken her.

    She speaks openly about surviving childhood abuse, rape, homelessness, the loss of both parents, and the moments when life pushed her to the edge. Instead of letting her pain define her, she transformed it into purpose. With over 25 years in entertainment and years of work as a youth mentor, parent and child advocate, and supporter of individuals with special needs, Teri has turned every hardship into a lesson in strength.

    Her message is raw, honest, and deeply human:
    Acceptance is not about forgetting what happened — it’s about reclaiming who you are because of it.

    This talk is a reminder that your story doesn’t end where the pain began. It begins the moment you choose to rise.
