Healing Childhood Wounds and Discovering Purpose with Terri Wade - Episode 17

What if the pain and darkness you once tried to hide became your greatest source of light for others? Have you ever wondered if there’s purpose buried in the toughest valleys of your story? Or how someone who was once silenced by bullying and self-doubt could transform into a confident speaker, coach, and author? In this episode, you’ll hear a powerful testimony of resilience—one that proves your story, no matter how heavy, could be someone else’s catalyst for healing.

This week’s special guest is Terri Wade—a remarkable transformational speaker, best-selling author, and spiritual life and business coach. Terri’s journey is not just about overcoming challenges; it’s about using them as stepping stones to change lives. Once a child who felt invisible and suffered from low self-worth because of relentless bullying and struggles at home, Terri eventually found her voice, excavated her purpose, and now dedicates her life to helping others do the same.

But Terri’s story doesn’t end with survival—it’s a blueprint for hope. In this episode, you’ll hear how deep pain, childhood bullying, and even moments of despair became the seeds for a thriving life of purpose. Terri opens up about her lowest points and the turning moments, like finding support through therapy and mentors, that helped her reclaim her sense of self-worth and begin to dream again.

Through setbacks, loss, and new storms along her path, Terri didn’t give up. Instead, she turned her journey into a mission to guide and empower others. Tune in to discover how she built her confidence, found her calling, and now shares practical lessons on mindset, resilience, and happiness. If you’ve ever wondered if your own struggles could lead to something greater, Terri’s wisdom will inspire you to see your story—and yourself—in a whole new light.
