Today, I sit down with Shirley Buck, a trauma survivor, author, and mindset coach whose life story is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Ms. Buck shares how she grew up as the child of two deaf parents, interpreting their divorce at just five years old, surviving an attempted murder-suicide by her mother, and later enduring years of abuse, addiction, and homelessness. Her early life was chaos, but her journey proves that pain can become purpose with the right mindset.
We dive deep into the power of mindset transformation and the pivotal moment Ms. Buck experienced at a baseball game when she asked God for a sign—and received a full rainbow on a sunny day. She shares how this moment affirmed her faith and sent her on a decades-long study of mental resilience, self-love, and positivity. We talk about her refusal to pursue traditional therapy and her decision to heal by learning, reading, and realigning herself spiritually.
Ms. Buck now teaches a 90-day mindset transformation course and helps others rewrite their internal narratives. We discuss the importance of gratitude, positive self-talk, and refusing to dwell in trauma. She shares how her book, Sweet Freedom Whispered in My Ear, tells her life story and offers mindset strategies at the end of each chapter.
