In this heartfelt and inspiring episode, psychotherapist and author Shavaun Scott opens up about her extraordinary journey of healing after enduring an abusive marriage and the devastating revenge suicide of her husband on the very day she asked for a divorce. With over 35 years of clinical experience specializing in trauma recovery, Shavaun brings a unique blend of professional insight and personal experience to the conversation.

She shares how the trauma from her past continued to impact her mind, body, and spirit — and how she navigated the complex grief, shock, and emotional upheaval that followed. Shavaun discusses the vital role that compassionate therapy, a strong support network of friends, and self-compassion played in her path to rebuilding a fulfilling life.

Her latest memoir, Nightbird: A Memoir, offers an unflinching look at the aftermath of abuse and loss, shining a light on the challenges and hope found in recovery. Whether you are healing from trauma, abuse, or loss, or supporting someone who is, this episode offers valuable wisdom on resilience, reclaiming your story, and moving forward with courage and grace.

Hey there, I’m so glad you’re here and tuning in! If this episode spoke to your heart, just know there’s even more support waiting for you.

I work with people who are ready to heal from the inside out — especially those dealing with chronic stress, anxiety, inflammation, gut issues, or burnout. If you’ve been struggling with symptoms your doctors can’t fully explain, it may be that your past is still living in your body. Unhealed emotional wounds and nervous system dysregulation often show up as physical and mental health challenges — and I’m here to help you break that cycle.

As an international inspirational speaker, NLP Practitioner, Trauma-Informed ACOA Coach, Neurofit Trainer, and Best-Selling Author, I bring both deep personal experience and professional training to the work I do. I believe in prevention, not just intervention — and use a body, mind, and spirit approach to guide others toward becoming the happiest, healthiest versions of themselves.

My holistic toolbox includes nervous system regulation, trauma-informed coaching, nutritional support, and natural healing strategies — including access to a powerful biofrequency scanner that gives us real-time insight into your wellness reality so we can create a personalized roadmap for healing.

Most of all, I’m your friend on this journey — cheering you on and reminding you that you absolutely can live your best life EVER. 💛
