Resilience+RISE Podcast with Thomas Scaira - Turning Trauma into Triumph

Thomas and I dig deep and discuss many important topics. I share my personal stories, healing journey, and speak about mental health. So many take aways from this amazing interview.

What if your greatest pain became your most powerful purpose? In this deeply moving episode of the Resilience+Rise podcast, we welcome back author and advocate Lisa Zarcone, a true testament to the human spirit's ability to heal and rise. Lisa shares her raw, unfiltered story of enduring a childhood of abuse, neglect, and trauma. She takes us on a journey through the darkness of her past, from the loss of her protector—her brother—to her own battles with suicidal thoughts. Yet, through her words, we find not just pain, but an incredible strength and unwavering faith. In this episode, Lisa offers powerful insights on: The Raw Truth: Her memoir, "The Unspoken Truth," is a courageous look at child abuse from a child's perspective, written to shed light on what happens behind closed doors and to give a voice to the voiceless. Healing from the Inside Out: Lisa talks about taming the beast of her trauma, working through her pain step by step to find healing and a renewed sense of self-worth. Hope in the Darkness: For those who feel they've hit rock bottom, Lisa reminds us to take it minute by minute, celebrate every small victory, and never, ever give up on finding support and community. Beyond the Pain: We also discuss her other book, "The Book of Joan," which tells her mother's story, offering a powerful look at mental illness and the importance of empathy and understanding. Lisa's journey is a powerful reminder that we are all worthy of healing and happiness. Her work as a public speaker and a CASA advocate for children shows that our brokenness can be a pathway to helping others fly.
