From Sally Brown (Peanuts) to Healing Trauma & Addiction | Hilary Momberger Powers

Описание: In this episode of EZ Conversations, therapist and host Furkhan Dandia sits down with Hilary Momberger Powers for a powerful conversation on trauma, shame, addiction recovery, and reclaiming personal agency.

Hilary has spent over 40 years in and around the film industry—from voicing Sally Brown in Peanuts at age five to working in high-pressure TV and film environments. But the work she’s most proud of didn’t happen on a set. It happened in the quiet, grit-filled years of healing from childhood trauma, recovering from addiction, and rediscovering who she was meant to be.

Today, Hilary’s mission is simple: help people stop “leading with their wounds” and start thriving through their scars. In this episode, we explore the survival strategies many of us mistake for personality—people-pleasing, disappearing, controlling—and how compassion, community, spiritual grounding, and daily stabilization help us rebuild a life we actually want.
