Scaling Up Success | Liz Blanding | The Power of Music and Mindset in Trauma Recovery

from Scaling Up Success Podcast · host Ryan Van Ornum

What if a single moment could completely rewrite the direction of your life?For Dr. Liz Blanding, that moment came in the form of a devastating car accident. One second, she was a thriving real estate agent, next, she was being told she might never walk again after hydroplaning into a tree. But Dr. Liz refused to accept that prognosis as her truth. Instead, she began a deep, personal healing journey that would eventually lead her to become a trauma recovery coach.Along the way, she discovered that trauma isn’t just an emotional wound, it lives in the body, shapes the mind, and touches the spirit and soul. Her path of recovery revealed trauma that began as early as the womb and helped her make sense of how complex PTSD had long influenced her sense of reality. She likens trauma to a “kaleidoscope,” a lens that distorts how we see ourselves, others, and the world, where even the smallest trigger can feel overwhelming.In a powerful, transparent conversation, Dr. Liz explains how our culture is evolving beyond the outdated “just get over it” mindset. She shares a crucial insight: trauma may not be your fault, but healing is your responsibility. This empowering belief shifts people from feeling powerless to stepping into their own agency.Today, Dr. Liz supports others through online programs focused on trauma-informed leadership, military PTSD recovery, and healing for domestic violence survivors. Her peer-to-peer approach, grounded in personal experience, is both relatable and transformative. And through it all, music, passed down from her jazz musician father, has remained a core part of her healing process.Her story is living proof that even in our most shattered seasons, wholeness is still possible.Explore her journey and resources at oasiswellnessctrS.com.LinkedInProfile link: https://www.linkedin.com/in/liz-blanding-470333253FacebookPage link: https://www.facebook.com/oasiswellnesscentersandacademyFollow us on social media for more conversations like this:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cynergistsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@CynergistsVAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/cynergistsvaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/cynergists/Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@cynergists?lang=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/cynergistshttps://www.youtube.com/@CynergistsVAhttps://www.facebook.com/cynergistsvahttps://www.instagram.com/cynergists/https://www.tiktok.com/@cynergists?lang=en
