30 Days To Happiness Podcast

Turning Pain into Purpose: Post-Traumatic Growth & My Journey After Loss

Holly Smith Season 3 Episode 101

🕊️ In this deeply personal episode of The 30 Days to Happiness Podcast, I open up about the loss of our daughter at 20 weeks — a moment that changed me forever.

But this episode isn’t just about grief. It’s about growth.

It’s about how, in the middle of heartbreak, we can still choose meaning.
How we can rise — not in spite of what happened, but because of it.

I share how I found light in the darkness through something called Post-Traumatic Growth — a powerful concept in positive psychology that goes beyond resilience and into true transformation.

Whether you’re grieving, supporting someone who is, or simply moving through a hard season, this episode will remind you:
✨ You’re not broken.
✨ You’re becoming.
✨ And there is purpose on the other side of your pain.

🎧 Tune in now to hear:
• The moment that cracked me open
• What post-traumatic growth really means
• My step-by-step healing process
• How to create meaning through grief — in your own way, in your own time

💛 I hope this brings you comfort, clarity, and courage. You are not alone.
