Finding Freedom After Trauma with Mudslide Survivor Mary Firestone

In this episode of The HEAL Podcast, I sit down with Mary Firestone, a trauma healing advocate and the author of Trusting the Dawn: How to Choose Freedom + Joy after Trauma. Mary fearlessly opens up about her personal history with trauma and how barely surviving a natural disaster became a pivotal wake-up call to embark on a deep healing journey. Throughout the conversation, Mary candidly shares the transformative power of various healing modalities that played a crucial role in her recovery. From exploring the innovative use of ketamine in a clinical setting to NLP, EMDR, and more, she sheds light on how different modalities offered profound insights and breakthroughs in her healing process. Through her insightful account and authentic revelations, Mary becomes a beacon of hope, guiding listeners to view the traumatic events in their lives not as prisons of suffering, but rather as opportunities and initiations to a greater life experience.

Our Shows
Over 50 & Flourishing
Welcome to Over 50 & Flourishing, the show for any woman who feels like she lost her compass in the sea of midlife. I’m here to tell you it’s never too late to change your course and awaken the healthy, wise, and wonderful woman within. My name is Dominique Sachse, and I love to ask questions, which was why I spent nearly three decades of my life in the TV news business. I also started a YouTube channel in 2014 to connect intimately with my community, and I took an even deeper dive in my book Life Makeover - Embrace The Bold, Beautiful and Blessed You. I’ll be the first to say, I’ve made mistakes, and I’m not afraid to be vulnerable and learn from them. I mean let’s face it, this stage of life can be complicated. Children are moving out, relationships are being examined, our parents are aging, and we’re having to manage all of this along with our menopause! It’s easy to lose sight of ourselves, but can I just say.. we matter. So, whether it’s finding ways to enhance and celebrate our own beauty, taking bold steps toward living our best life in the second half of life, finding ways to be healthier, happier, and more spiritually connected, I will bring you thinkers and innovators who share the same passion of flushing out these ideas. It’s my goal to leave us all feeling inspired, thought and intent-driven, and with a sense of purpose in whatever we pursue. Let’s celebrate growing older together and embrace our Prime. It’s our time!
