Embracing Love: Danielle Bernock's Mission to Heal Through Media
In the latest episode of our podcast, we had the pleasure of speaking with Danielle Bernock, a remarkable author, coach, and speaker who has dedicated her life to promoting love and healing through her work with For F Media. With over 12 years of experience in the field, Danielle’s journey began with her first book, "Emerging with Wings," which paved the way for her to become a voice for those navigating the complexities of trauma.
Danielle founded For F Media to ensure her story was told authentically, free from the constraints of traditional publishing. The name "For F Media" is derived from her four pillars: faith, family, friends, and freedom. These values are the foundation of her work and resonate deeply throughout her various media projects, including her podcast, "Victorious Souls," where she has shared over 300 episodes featuring inspiring stories of resilience.
One of the most impactful moments in our conversation was when Danielle discussed her viral quote: 'Trauma is personal. It does not disappear if it is not validated.' This powerful statement encapsulates the essence of her message—that healing begins when we acknowledge our pain and allow ourselves to be vulnerable. Danielle emphasizes that trauma is not merely an event but a wound that requires attention and care.
Throughout the episode, we explored the differences between childhood trauma and adult trauma, the concept of complex PTSD, and the significance of church hurt. Danielle's insights shed light on how these experiences shape our identities and relationships, and she encourages listeners to take ownership of their healing journey.
Danielle also shared her collection of five books, each offering a unique perspective on healing and self-worth. From "A Bird Named Pain," which addresses the emotional turmoil of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer's, to her activity book "Taco Bout Your Value," created with her grandson, Danielle's work is both heartfelt and practical.
As we wrapped up our discussion, Danielle reminded us of the importance of love and connection in our lives. She passionately stated, 'Every person on the planet is worthy of love,' reinforcing her commitment to helping others recognize their inherent value.
