In this powerful episode of The Self-Care Goddess Podcast, I sit down with Sylvia Moore Myers (@sylviamooremyers), author, grief recovery expert, and creator of the SCAR framework. With over 30 years of experience supporting people through profound loss, Sylvia helps us see our wounds not as weakness but as symbols of strength, beauty, and resilience.
She draws from her own unimaginable experiences including losing her grandmother in childhood, surviving years of bullying, burying her eldest brother, losing her son to murder, enduring an attack from a serial predator, and navigating PTSD. Through her story, she offers a raw and powerful understanding of what it truly means to mend rather than simply “get over” grief.
Inspired by the Japanese art of Kintsugi, Sylvia reminds us that our scars can be filled with gold, becoming more meaningful, more beautiful, and more connected than before.
