In this powerful and deeply grounding episode of Unstoppable with Dr. Paulette Scott, we sit down with Fleshia W. Smalls, a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience walking alongside individuals, couples, and families through grief, trauma, and life’s most difficult transitions.

As a clinician practicing across North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia — and as Dr. Paulette’s own grief counselor — Fleshia brings both professional wisdom and compassionate presence to this conversation.

Together, we explore:

  • What healthy grief really looks like
  • Why emotional safety is essential for healing
  • How trauma impacts identity and resilience
  • Practical tools for grounding when emotions feel overwhelming
  • How to heal without rushing the process
  • What it truly means to be Unstoppable — not by avoiding pain, but by growing through it

This episode is for anyone navigating loss — whether from death, divorce, identity shifts, career changes, or unseen emotional wounds — and searching for hope, stability, and forward movement.

This conversation reminds us that healing doesn’t mean forgetting.
 It means becoming whole again.
