TUNE IN: APPLE PODCASTS | SPOTIFY | STITCHER
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder is something that many people might have a hard time talking about and asking others about. Manya Chylinski thought she was alone in her struggles after surviving the Boston Marathon Bombing.
I am honored to have her on Stress Free SOULutions as June is PTSD awareness month. Sharing what she went through, not only helped her find her path to healing but helped so many others as well.
Communications specialist and survivor Manya Chylinski helps leaders understand how to create environments where people can thrive after difficult life experiences. She’s an entrepreneur who used her experience as a survivor of the Boston Marathon bombing to help others understand the importance of trauma-sensitive leadership and recognize how resiliency and compassion are part of the path to healing. She has shared her story the Boston Globe and All Things Considered and has spoken about being an invisible victim on stages like the National Homeland Security Conference and SXSW.
In today’s episode, Manya shares her traumatic experience at the Boston Marathon Bombing, where she was, and what it was like to experience that traumatic event.
She shares how she started speaking about what she went through and how this helped her find her path to healing through compassion and resiliency.
We talk about how companies and communities gloss over psychological aid and how people are afraid to bring up mental health issues, ask for help, and ask others about their experiences.
Manya is a remarkable, strong woman who also runs her company Alley424.
