ROAR Healing Stories
Podcast Description
Hi! I’m Ellen Line, LCSW-C. I’m a trauma therapist. I help folks heal trauma in their relationships with self, others, and the collective. Through this work, I’ve learned healing can happen in so many different ways, and so with ROAR Healing Stories, I’m taking you inside my own and others’ healing journeys. In Season One, you’ll hear from me and from some of my dear friends who are on healing journeys or who work as healers. I hope that hearing these stories helps you see how wide and winding a healing journey can be and feel a little less alone as you walk your path. You’ll get to learn lessons from folks who are also growing and healing. Join us for the first season of ROAR Healing Stories wherever you listen to podcasts! roarfindyourfierce.substack.com

It’s been a tough few weeks in the news for folks who aren’t MAGA people. With executive power on the rise when the key executive doesn’t seem to have a moral compass, it’s scary out here. I’ve been feeling overwhelmed and hopeless at times, but a few key conversations with friends recently have helped me feel grounded in a few things:
When we heal our trauma and reconnect with a deep inner knowing, we gain Soul Freedom: the freedom to live the life that right for you regardless of what anyone else thinks or says about how you “should” be living.
No one can take your soul freedom away, even if other freedoms or aspects of your identity are made illegal by shitty politicians.
The rise of authoritarianism happens in response to progress that’s been made. Humans are meant to make progress, and we can choose to focus there, while we do what we can to push back against this regime.
ROAR’s work in the world is to help folks find Soul Freedom. What questions do you have about finding Soul Freedom? What support do you need to find it?
