Manage episode 379889416 series 2978492
In today's deeply moving episode of "Everyday Game Changers," host Barion McQueen sits down with Lacy Nicole, a childhood trauma expert, survivor, and the force behind the "Shame to Sparkle" movement. Lacy's story is one of incredible resilience and transformation. As a young girl, she endured the unimaginable pain of being a victim of a horrific crime. The scars from this trauma were not just emotional; her health suffered greatly. Lacy was diagnosed with multiple autoimmune and reproductive diseases, leading doctors to claim she would never be able to conceive a child. With a year that saw her undergoing nearly 14 surgeries and extended hospital stays, Lacy could have easily succumbed to the weight of her circumstances.
Instead, she chose to rise.
Lacy delves into her personal journey, discussing the challenges of living with autoimmune diseases, confronting and healing from childhood trauma, and the pathway to her ultimate triumph - the birth of the "Shame to Sparkle" brand and foundation. Her mission? To shift the narrative from shame and silence to advocacy and mental health support, especially for those grappling with trauma and PTSD.
Her "Shame to Sparkle" brand is not just about surviving; it's about thriving. Lacy emphasizes the importance of mental health, healing, and the audacity to embrace our own sparkles, even after the darkest of storms. Through discussing attachment styles, trauma recovery, and even some fun moments, Lacy encourages us all to become the hero of our own stories.
Tune in to discover how Lacy Nicole transformed her life's adversities into a beacon of hope and inspiration for countless others. Remember, no matter how dim things might seem, there's always a chance for you to shine... to sparkle!
