From Trauma to Triumph: Malaysia Harrell on “God Has My Six”

Board-certified psychotherapist, veteran, spiritual transformation coach, and award-winning entrepreneur Malaysia Harrell joins Angelina to unpack how faith, surrender, and nervous-system-friendly practices turn pain into purpose. From excelling under the “mask of perfection” to surviving life-threatening sepsis after her 2020 Navajo Nation deployment, Malaysia shares how she rebuilt identity beyond titles, launched Blissful Life Consulting, and founded the Malaysia Harrell Foundation to serve women—especially women veterans—through holistic wellness, retreats, and suicide-prevention work. You’ll learn practical ways to rest without guilt, set boundaries, reconnect with creativity, and begin “the art of becoming” the highest version of yourself.
