Perspectives: Trauma

What happens when resilience becomes a mask?When success hides exhaustion?When survival mode quietly shapes identity without us even noticing?In our latest Perspectives Podcast, we sat down with three remarkable guests — Ian Sneeth, Uchenna Eneke, and Leticia Francis, for an honest and deeply human conversation about trauma, survival, and transformation.Together we explored:* how trauma can influence behaviour, leadership, and relationships* why high achievement can sometimes be a survival strategy* how vulnerability, mindfulness, faith, and community create pathways to healing* and how sharing lived stories helps people feel less alone.In this conversation we consider the difference between simply functioning and truly living, reminding us that healing begins with awareness, safe spaces, and honest dialogue.You’ll also hear practical reflections on supporting young people through trauma, recognising emotional overwhelm, and taking small steps toward regulation, connection, and self-understanding.Take a listen because healing isn’t linear & and none of us should have to struggle alone.
