Healing from Invisible Trauma in High-Achieving Spaces | Dr. Hillary Cauthen
In this episode, Wendy is joined by Dr. Hillary Cauthen, a clinical sports psychologist, TEDx speaker, author of Hello, Trauma: Our Invisible Teammate, and host of Highs and Lows of X’s and O’s podcast. Together, they explore the impact of trauma in sports, the power of rest, and how to create culture change through presence, story, and truth-telling.
They explore:
- How the high-pressure environment of athletics often perpetuates silent trauma, and how athletes and parents alike can begin to disrupt it
- The power of listening to your body, modeling rest, and choosing healing as a family and a culture
- What real change looks like in sports institutions, and how story-sharing can catalyze systemic transformation
Whether you're raising an athlete, healing from your own past, or simply craving an honest look at how we redefine wellness and performance, this conversation will stir something in you.
