After years of compartmentalizing her pain and trauma as a paramedic, Majet Reyes had an awakening that brought her down the path of healing. Now as a trauma counselor with a focus on supporting first responders and the BIPOC community, she helps people face and process their pain, emotions, and trauma. This powerful conversation covers the challenges and rewards of working as a first responder, the critical role of therapy and support for those in high-stress professions, and the beauty of connecting with people across the globe through volunteer work. Majette's story is not just about her trials but how she turned her experiences into a source of strength and service to others.
Whether you're looking for inspiration to face your own challenges or curious about the impact of community and connection in healing, this episode offers valuable insights and reminders of our shared humanity and potential for growth. Majet’s compassionate presence reminds us that we aren’t alone in what we are going through and when we surround ourselves with communities that allow us to be authentic - healing IS possible!
