The Courageous Survivor: The Rewired Journey
I’m Paula Walters — a woman who spent most of her life in survival mode after enduring child abuse, domestic violence, and a near-fatal strangulation that left me with a traumatic brain injury. For years, I was trapped in a cycle of pain, confusion, and endless medical appointments that offered no real answers.
But when I hit rock bottom, faith led me to one final option — a functional neurologist who helped me uncover how trauma had rewired my brain and body. That discovery changed everything. I began rebuilding my life from the inside out — learning how to heal my brain, regulate my body, and reconnect with my faith, truth, and purpose.
Now, through The Courageous Survivor Podcast, I’m sharing that journey. Each week, I’ll take you behind the scenes of my Rewired Journey — the real, raw process of healing decades of trauma, breaking unhealthy patterns, and building a life rooted in wholeness and hope.
Together, we’ll explore how faith, neuroscience, and courage come together to transform not just the mind — but the entire person.
If you’ve ever wondered whether healing is possible after deep pain — this podcast is living proof that it is.
Welcome to The Courageous Survivor Podcast.
Where survival ends, and rewiring begins.
