Healing is the Revolution is a collection of podcasts brought to you by the Institute of Women & Ethnic Studies (IWES), a community-based public health non-profit founded in New Orleans in 1993. The first podcast is "Healing is the Revolution," a soulful, intimate, and honest one-on-one conversation with IWES' Founder, noted psychiatrist and trauma expert Dr. Denese Shervington, and a guest. Individuals share intimate - and at times tragic - stories of creating successful lives beyond their traumatic beginnings and for some, untreated experiences. The series features a range of guests: each episode a personal story revealing joys, pains, and a path to healing. Dr. Shervington pulls from her training and study in both eastern and western healing modalities to guide these explorations of past, present, and future. In her own words, she describes the podcast as a place where “everyday people like us bare our souls as we try to learn from each other the naked truth of living.” <br
