35. The Journey from Hypervigilance to Healer w/ Renée Zavislak

What happens when a young girl growing up amidst conflict, neglect, and trauma decides to spend her life helping others heal?In this episode of The Butterfly of Why, I sit down with trauma therapist, speaker, and podcast host Renée Zavislak to explore the experiences that shaped her journey, from childhood adversity and decades of personal therapy to becoming a specialist in trauma. Together, we examine resilience, the lasting impact of childhood experiences, why some people avoid pain while others choose to face it, and how healing often unfolds in ways we least expect.This is a conversation about trauma, meaning, purpose, and the remarkable ways human beings learn to transform survival into service.
