This is a video about Healing yourself and others through Writing with Tina Djuretic

In this episode of Roundy’s Rants, Raves and Reviews, host Roundy interviews author Tina DJuretic about her writing journey from two adult books—a memoir and a guide on healing—to her first children’s book released June 11 about bullying. Tina shares how childhood abuse, generational trauma, and a difficult breakup led her to write, how journaling and editing became part of her healing process, and why she believes bullying should be addressed with both self-advocacy and compassion for children who may be acting from trauma. She also discusses her years working on cruise ships, collecting travel mementos, and her recent training in sound bowl healing inspired by a Nepal ashram, including ideas for adapting sound healing for kids. Tina’s books are available on Amazon and IngramSpark, with resources and a free bullying-related PDF at sovereignandsage.com.
