Diva Girl, Heal Thyself: Majet Reyes's Journey From Trauma Survivor to Trauma Counselor

·33 min·2 clips

Majette Reyes gives the P.A.L.M. method: pause, acknowledge, learn why, then respond mindfully.

Majette Reyes enters softly. Sasha introduces her as a longtime friend, the owner of Diva Girl Fit in Philadelphia, and someone with a story that carries weight. The admiration is obvious, but the episode does not stay in soft-focus inspiration mode for long. Personal trauma leads into a bigger, messier talk about the systems people still have to live inside while they are trying to heal. Healing here is not tidy. Sasha keeps pressing on the tension between inner work and a world that keeps rewarding speed, output, and exhaustion. Motherhood sits right in the middle of it. Sasha talks about wanting to model something different for her daughters, instead of teaching them to chase worth through productivity. Majette picks up on that right away and brings in the squeeze parents feel when school and work expectations do not fit the same life. This is wellness talk with receipts from daily life: school, schedules, work, and the cost of getting help. Men do not get flattened into villains, either. Sasha says the issue is larger than individual men and names her husband as someone who wants to slow down. The target is the system, and both women keep circling the same question: what does healing look like when life still keeps asking for more? The business piece stays subtle, tucked into the show’s beauty, health, wellness, brand, and leadership lane rather than turning into marketing advice. Majette’s work is the example. Diva Girl Philly and trauma counseling sit side by side, which gives the episode its bridge between being seen and getting better. The close is practical, sending listeners to Diva Girl Philly, Philly Trauma Counselor, DivaGirlTribe.com, and ResilientMindWorks.com.

As heard by us

A plainspoken conversation about trauma, healing, and the pressure to keep proving worth through constant productivity.

The conversation treats trauma as both a private rupture and a system that keeps asking women, especially mothers, to prove their worth through constant output.
