Trauma-Informed Listener, founded by Hershey Wier, offers compassionate support for women navigating complex grief, trauma, and major life transitions. Many women who connect with this work are living with experiences such as growing up as a motherless daughter, suicide loss, family estrangement, or divorce later in life. Hershey’s work is grounded in deep personal understanding of loss and the challenges of building a life without family or strong support systems. Her areas of understanding also include biracial identity, immigrant parent experiences, living and working abroad, and navigating sexism and other forms of discrimination. Hershey brings experience as a crisis counselor, where she listened to hundreds of people share their struggles in everyday life, as well as decades of experience in education. Her writing has included publishing on multicultural issues, culture shock, emotional intelligence, and institutional discrimination. Drawing on both lived experience and professional insight, Trauma-Informed Listener offers a calm, respectful space where women can speak openly, be deeply heard, and begin making sense of their stories. This process offers a way for women to rediscover their strength and move forward with dignity and hope.
