Show Notes:
Host Angie Berrett sits down with Laura Bonetzky-Gaffney, a multi-generational healer, intuitive, and survivor whose story sheds light on the intersection of trauma, justice, and resilience.
Laura opens up about her journey through domestic violence, court-sanctioned abuse, and a decades-long fight to reclaim her freedom after enduring corruption within the family court system. From being silenced in marriage to finding her voice as an advocate and author, Laura shares what it means to transform pain into purpose — and how the power of awareness, mindfulness, and community can be pathways to healing.
Together, Angie and Laura unpack the concept of “power protecting power,” the complexity of coping mechanisms, and the process of learning to trust your body and spirit again.
Laura also introduces a practical, trauma-informed tool — the “Stop, Pause, Breathe, What’s the Action Step” framework — to help survivors ground themselves in moments of overwhelm and reconnect to their inner wisdom.
This episode is a powerful reminder that healing doesn’t happen in a straight line — and that sometimes, the smallest steps toward awareness are the most transformative.
