You are unrepeatable. Your voice, your story, your impact—only you can bring them to life. We don’t get to choose everything that happens to us, but we do get to choose how we show up. Our last great freedom is how we respond to what life hands us. We’ve all had moments that brought us to our knees. But what happens when we stay down? When fear of the unknown keeps us silent? When pain convinces us we have nothing left to give?

Here’s the truth: if you don’t engage — if you stay down — you leave a you-shaped hole in the world. One no one else can fill. There is a purpose only you can fulfill. A story only you can tell. A ripple effect only you can set in motion.

So today, wherever you are in your journey, don’t stay down. Stand up. Lean in. CHOOSE GROWTH. Choose to speak. The world needs your voice—raw, real, and rising.

June 13th is National Posttraumatic Growth Day. It’s part of National PTSD Awareness Month and was initiated by the Boulder Crest Foundation to recognize that veterans and others impacted by trauma can experience profound positive growth and transformation. Together, let’s shift the focus beyond the struggle that trauma causes to acknowledge the strength and resilience that can be found in the journey of healing.

In honor of National Posttraumatic Growth Day, we are thrilled to announce the winners of Hero’s Journey: The Posttraumatic Growth Story Challenge.

In a time when mental health challenges, su***de, and isolation are on the rise, Posttraumatic Growth offers a new perspective - one that acknowledges that while trauma is real and devastating, it does not define us - we remain the authors of our own stories.

The response to this contest was extraordinary - these stories moved us, challenged us, and reaffirmed what we know to be true - that even in the aftermath of trauma, we can grow stronger, wiser, and more connected.

Join us in celebrating these winners and every storyteller who shared a piece of themselves. The winning films are available to watch at the link in bio, and watch this space for more stories and conversations about the power of Posttraumatic Growth.

Together, by sharing stories of courage, triumph and growth, we can help shift the conversation from “what’s broken” to what’s possible.
