Episode Details

On this episode of Adult Child of Dysfunction, we’re joined by Wendy B. Correa — former music industry insider, radio DJ, trauma survivor, and author of the upcoming memoir My Pretty Baby (She Writes Press, Nov. 4, 2025).

With honesty, grit, and a touch of rock ’n’ roll magic, Wendy shares her riveting story of overcoming Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) — a form of trauma that impacts nearly 64% of adults in the U.S., per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Wendy’s mission is to destigmatize trauma and help others find happiness, authenticity, and emotional freedom.

Her incredible real-life journey includes:

✅ Escaping a violent childhood home

✅ Rubbing shoulders with music legends like Joni Mitchell, Ringo Starr, and Hunter S. Thompson

✅ Singing “Give Peace a Chance” on the Rose Bowl stage

✅ A profound 40+ year healing pursuit: Buddhism, Native American practices, 12-Step recovery, EMDR, and more

✅ Becoming a radio DJ in Aspen and building her own healthy family

✅ Uncovering a shocking family secret that finally brought long-awaited clarity

We dive deep into:

• What ACEs really mean for mental health

• The long-term journey of healing, identity, and forgiveness

• Why society must take trauma seriously — and how we can all support recovery

• The power of community and holistic approaches in reclaiming one’s life

Wendy’s voice is a beacon of hope to anyone who has ever felt broken by their beginnings. Her message: We get to rewrite the story.
