EP256: Mastering Experiences: A Path to Healing with Robin Stokes

FINDING SAFETY AFTER TRAUMA SUMMIT Robin Stokes is one of our sponsors and will also be joining me as a speaker for the Finding Safety After Trauma Summit, happening October 22–23, 2026, from 10:00 AM–5:00 PM ET each day. Join us: https://hub.htdholisticservices.com/finding-safety-summit

In this episode, I welcome Robin Stokes, a social worker, U.S. Army veteran, author, and the visionary behind Mastering Experiences, for an honest conversation about surviving domestic violence, reclaiming her voice, and finding a path toward healing.

Robin shares how her personal experiences shaped her commitment to supporting others. We explore the importance of recognizing your worth, reaching for support, and rebuilding your life at your own pace.

We also discuss her book, Mastering Experiences of Life, and her MASTER framework: Meet your story, Accept, Speak, Transform, Engage others, and Rebuild. Robin reflects on how these steps have guided her own healing journey and the platform she created to share stories and meaningful conversations.

Through her work in child protection, social services, and patient rights advocacy, Robin has supported people facing difficult circumstances. We talk about what it means to care for others while making space for your own needs, rest, and self-care.

I’m grateful to Robin for sharing her story and reminding listeners that they deserve support and do not have to navigate healing alone. I look forward to continuing these conversations with her at our Finding Safety After Trauma Summit.
