Episode 08: Reclaiming Power: How Resilience Transforms Trauma into Strength with Darla Radilla

What happens when life hands you a story you never wanted to write? How do you reclaim the narrative and turn the hardest chapters of your life into something meaningful? This week on Unfinished Stories: The Next Chapter, I sit down with Darla Radilla—a certified somatic trauma-informed coach, relationship expert, and podcaster—who turned her experience of surviving narcissistic abuse into a mission to help others rewrite their lives.

Darla shares how she went from losing everything—her home, her finances, and her sense of self—to taking back control of her story. We dive into the power of somatic healing, why trauma lives in the body, and how understanding our nervous system can help us move forward. If fear, doubt, or past wounds have kept you from writing your next chapter—whether in life or on the page—this conversation will remind you that your story isn’t over.

Episode Highlights:

• Rewriting Rock Bottom – The moment Darla decided to take back her story instead of letting trauma define her.
  
  
• The Body Holds the Story – Understanding how past pain gets stored in our nervous system—and how to release it.
  
  
• From Survival to Strength – Using resilience as a tool to step into a new version of yourself.
  
  
• Turning the Page on Trauma – Practical techniques for processing emotions and moving forward with clarity.
  
  
• Boundaries, Healing, and Self-Worth – How setting boundaries is key to finishing your next chapter, both in writing and in life.

Because every great story has moments of struggle—but it’s how we move forward that defines the ending.
