Ep 9 | Alicia Dick - Being Well Within: Trauma-Informed Leadership, Community, and Change

Описание: In this episode of the Iron Range Adventures Podcast, Steve sits down with Alicia Dick — Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW), organizational consultant, trauma-informed systems thinker, educator, runner, and founder of _Be Well Within_.

Alicia shares her journey from child protection and healthcare to higher education and community systems work, explaining why real change can’t focus only on individuals — it has to include families, schools, workplaces, and entire communities. They dive into what “trauma-informed” really means, why behavior is rooted in neuroscience, and how small moments of human connection can create powerful change.

The conversation also explores:

Why change is so hard even when people agree it’s needed
How burnout impacts educators and communities
The role of nervous system regulation in leadership and life
How running and time in nature fuel clarity and resilience
Why community is the Iron Range’s greatest strength

Alicia also opens up about moving to the Iron Range just before COVID, finding belonging in a new community, building her business without social media, and what it means to truly be “well within.”

This is a thoughtful, honest, and inspiring conversation about leadership, healing, connection, and building healthier systems — together.
