The Meaning of Your Past Isn’t Set in Stone: Memory, Trauma & Resilience

In this episode of Strategies for Living, Dr. David McMillian and Lauren Leon McMillian explore how memory reconsolidation shapes the way we understand our past and create meaning in our lives. Inspired by author Charlotte Chun’s book Earliest Memories and an article in Psychology Today by Dr. Jordan Grumet, they uncover how storytelling can transform trauma, victimhood, and emotional triggers into resilience, growth, and “main character energy.” Discover practical strategies for reframing your memories, becoming the hero of your own story, and unlocking the power of narrative retelling for healing and personal freedom.Original airdate: 9/10/2025
