What if your unspoken past is already in the room with you-at the meeting table, in your relationships, in the way you lead?

In Dealing with Healing, Olivia Smith weaves research and leadership insight with powerful true stories from professionals, entrepreneurs, and executives who lived through childhood trauma, abuse, addiction, and loss. Their voices bring to light what statistics alone cannot: how trauma follows us into adulthood, shaping how we trust, work, and lead.

You'll meet survivors who:

Hid behind overachievement while battling self-doubt.
Carried silence for decades, believing their stories were "too much" or in some cases "too little" to share.
Faced burnout while trying to prove their worth through constant productivity.
Found ways to turn pain into new clarity, leadership, and courage.

Combined with insights from the ACE study, the DISC assessment, neuroscience, and decades of real-world leadership experience, these stories show how trauma undermines performance-and how healing creates steadiness, authenticity, and lasting growth.

Each chapter closes with reflection prompts to help you connect these lessons to your own life and leadership.

Dealing with Healing isn't about dwelling on the past. It's about learning from it, reclaiming your story, and leading your future with honesty and purpose.
