Episode Details

In this powerful and heart-centered episode, we sit down with Katy Parker — a trauma-informed well-being writer, grief and loss coach, and mental health mentor who is changing the way the world understands invisible grief.

Katy shares her personal journey as a trauma survivor and chronic pain warrior, and how her lived experience inspired her to support others navigating the emotional wounds that aren’t always seen or acknowledged. Through her Journeyofsmiley blog, PTSD: My Story Project, and Grief Stories series, Katy has created safe spaces where people around the world can share their experiences, feel understood, and find hope.

We explore:

✨ What “invisible grief” means and how it affects every part of life

✨ The role storytelling plays in healing trauma

✨ How to reconnect with purpose when life doesn’t go as planned

✨ Practical ways to move from survival into growth and joy

Katy’s message is rooted in empathy, faith, and the belief that healing should be a right, not a privilege. She also shares a powerful free resource, 7 Keys to Self-Healing: A Trauma Survivor’s Guide, created to help others begin their own journey forward.

Whether you’re grieving a loss that others can’t see, healing from trauma, or supporting someone who is — this episode will remind you that you’re not alone, and hope is always within reach.
