Your host, Deana Brown Mitchell is the founder of the Realize Foundation whose mission is to reduce the number of humans who struggle with suicidal ideation by creating a world where having the conversation becomes commonplace. Like many, she kept silent about her own struggles with mental health for 23 years due to shame and stigma. It wasn't until she lost a friend to suicide that Deana realized the power of sharing our stories. In this podcast, we invite guests who have overcome adversity to share their journey and provide a safe space for vulnerability and openness. Our goal is to let other silent humans know that they are not alone and that there is always hope. Whether you are struggling with your mental health or simply feeling alone, this podcast is for you. Come join our community and let's inspire each other to turn our Scars to Stars.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-25T02:19:49.095846+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/scars-to-stars-podcast-6384270"},"episode":{"title":"Hush, Child, Hush: Finding Your Voice After Trauma, Abuse & Silence","slug":"hush-child-hush-finding-your-voice-after-trauma-abuse-silence","published_at":"2026-06-10T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/scars-to-stars-podcast-6384270/hush-child-hush-finding-your-voice-after-trauma-abuse-silence","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/scars-to-stars-podcast-6384270","url":"https://scars-to-stars-podcast.captivate.fm/episode/jessica-hollister","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/482a8400-5478-498a-b8c7-1c9c8da85360.mp3","summary":"In this powerful episode, Deana welcomes Jessica “Jessy” Hollister from Midland, Michigan, a silent counseling practitioner and Scars to Stars™ Volume 5 author. Jessie shares her deeply personal journey from surviving lifelong abuse, trauma, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation to discovering healing through therapy, somatic release, silent counseling, energy work, and self-discovery tools like Human Design. Her chapter in Scars to Stars® Vol 5, Hush, Child, Hush , explores how she transformed years of silence and pain into purpose, peace, and empowerment. This conversation is filled with hope for anyone struggling with trauma, emotional overwhelm, nervous system dysregulation, or learning how to truly care for themselves. \"Jessica Hollister is a Holistic Healing Facilitator, certified Silent Counselling and Reiki II Practitioner, who helps women heal from emotional trauma without having to relive it.
