In this episode, I had an amazing chat with Kaitlin Roberson about life, leadership, business and what it really means to alchemise adversity into healing, purpose, and power for positive impact.

What if post-traumatic growth isn’t just a recovery story but a portal to your truest self?

Kaitlin’s journey invites us into the quiet, radical space between breaking down and rising up. From humanitarian work in trauma-affected communities to founding a biotech company rooted in psychedelic science, she has learned how to listen, to pain, to intuition, and to what the mind, body and soul is really trying to say. Together, we shared our lived experiences and explored the beautiful tension between neurobiology, human development, and spiritual growth and what becomes possible, when we choose to lead from wholeness, where we can truly thrive instead of simply survive.

We explored:
✨ Asking for Help: Why maturity starts with surrender
✨ Post-Traumatic Growth: Turning pain into expansion — body, mind & soul
✨ Trauma & Chronic Pain: The deep science of what hurts and what heals
✨ Listening to the Universe: How forced stillness creates new awareness
✨ Soulful High Flow Conscious Leadership: Escaping survival mode to embody authenticity
✨ Root Cause Healing: Moving beyond symptoms to sustainable human flourishing
