ABOUT US

Transforming pain into purpose through storytelling, community, and creative healing

Mission

Wounds to Wisdom empowers individuals to transform pain into purpose through storytelling, community support, and creative healing. Founded on the belief that vulnerability fosters resilience, we curate spaces where survivors reclaim their narratives.

What We Do

Publish Compilations

Books like Wounds to Wisdom: Voices of Hope (2024) feature diverse survivor journeys—from teenage motherhood to narcissistic abuse recovery—offering practical hope.

Host Workshops

Facilitated retreats (e.g., "Empowering Her~Story") combine drumming, writing, and movement to deepen healing.

Amplify Voices

Our platforms share quotes, poetry, and interviews (e.g., "Porcelain Heart") highlighting the alchemy of wounds into wisdom.

Philosophy

Inspired by Kintsugi (the Japanese art of mending broken pottery with gold), we teach that scars are marks of strength, not shame. Painful experiences—when met with courage—become catalysts for growth, compassion, and leadership.

Community Impact

For Survivors

We provide tools to reframe trauma (e.g., journaling prompts, peer support groups) and build new identities beyond victimhood.

For Advocates

Resources like From Wounds to Wisdom: A Single Mom's Odyssey equip allies to support loved ones.

Foundational Values

Courage in authenticity

Embracing vulnerability as the pathway to true strength and connection.

Gratitude as a transformative practice

Finding light even in the darkest experiences to fuel healing.

Shared wisdom as liberation

Recognizing that our collective stories have the power to free us all.
