From Hidden to Healed: A Story of Resilience and Transformation

In this episode of the Flipside of Adversity, join Rochelle Peterson-Ansari, “Professor P” as she shares her journey from masking pain and living a life in constant contraction that did not serve her well to a life in which she thrives and experiences real joy from the inside out.

After spending more than 3 decades doing good work in the world as an educator, leader, advocate, mentor, designing programs and learning solutions to benefit people historically marginalized in workplaces and learning environments, she reached a turning point when she realized that her purposeful work was driven by a single story of herself that was not true. 

In this powerful discussion, Rochelle reveals how masking pain showed up in all too familiar ways: perfectionism, workaholism, avoiding intimacy and more; the single story that kept her hidden behind the mask;and, how she unmasked the pain and transformed to experiencing freedom and joy that she wants for everyone she serves.
