Welcome to Triumphing Over Trauma!

A creation of Dr. Adriana Popescu of Firebird Healing, Triumphing Over Trauma brings together real stories from people of all walks of life who have not only endured pain, grief, and hardship—but have found their way to healing, growth, and even purpose on the other side.

Triumphing Over Trauma is more than just a video series. It’s a space for truth-telling, resilience, and connection. Through these heartfelt conversations, we’re going to explore the many forms trauma can take… and the many ways people rise above it.

Whether you're currently in the depths of your own journey or walking alongside someone who is, this series is here to let you know that you are not alone, and healing is possible.

There's 5 episodes available for you to watch on YouTube!
