Episode Description
Learn how to heal from trauma you've buried for decades and recognize the signs of unhealed childhood trauma that keep survivors stuck. In this trauma recovery podcast episode, trauma survivor Tracy Smaldino shares her full healing journey — surviving a fatal car accident with burns on 70% of her body, surviving sexual assault, and the decades she spent carrying it in silence.
She ran the biggest shows in Las Vegas. She also hid under the stage she helped build. This is the story of both.
In this episode:
- Surviving a fatal car accident as a child, burns on 70% of her body, losing both cousins

"For almost 10 years I produced everybody else's show. Healing was me finally walking out from under that stage and into my own spotlight."
— Tracy Smaldino
