On this week’s episode of The Cultural Curriculum Chat™ Podcast, I sat down with trauma expert, author, healer, and former tap-performance artist Heather Ann Ferri — and wow, what a conversation.
Heather’s story takes us from Pittsburgh to New York City stages, from working with dance legend Jimmy Slyde to losing her ability to walk, and ultimately to writing her soul-led memoir and healing manual Transcending Victim to Goddess.
In our conversation, we explored:
how childhood trauma shapes emotional patterns carried into adulthood
the inner child as a superpower for creativity and intuition
the role of movement, breathwork, voice, and ancestral memory in healing
how CPTSD recovery can unlock abundance and self-belief
why restoring wholeness begins with listening inward
Heather reminds us: healing isn’t about perfection — it’s about reconnection.
If you’ve ever felt silenced, disconnected, or stuck repeating patterns you didn’t choose, this episode will speak right to your core.
