Episode 25: Healing Through Writing: Emotional Wellness, Trauma Recovery & Women’s Empowerment with Teresa Rosario-Hernandez
In this inspiring episode, we welcome Teresa Rosario-Hernandez, a powerful voice from Podmatch who embodies resilience, independence, hope, and authentic growth. As the holiday season amplifies stress and emotional overload, Teresa opens up about her journey through trauma, burnout, and the moment she realized she no longer recognized herself.
She shares how ignoring emotional and mental wellness led to physical symptoms, and how giving herself permission to feel (rather than suppress) became the catalyst for transformation. Teresa reminds us that emotional health isn’t about pretending life is sunny; it's about learning how to move through the storm.
We dive into the tools that helped her reclaim her peace: affirmations, voice notes, poetry, and especially writing. Teresa discusses how writing became her most powerful emotional outlet—a way to release thoughts, interrupt negative cycles, and process deep feelings without judgment. Whether you’re a seasoned writer or someone who’s never journaled before, this episode highlights why writing can be an essential self-care practice.
Teresa also talks about her mission to empower women to live unapologetically, with more grace, less judgment, and a safe space to grow, start over, or change direction. Her message: “Never shame a woman for changing her mind or for starting over.”
We also highlight Teresa’s own podcast, Prosecco Queens Podcast, where she blends storytelling, personal development, and a glass of Prosecco to uplift and inspire women to prioritize themselves.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking healing, emotional growth, and a reminder that starting over is not only allowed, it’s powerful.
Ways to Engage: Write a poem about a recent event or emotion you experienced. It doesn’t have to rhyme or be in a certain format. Just put the pen in your hand, open your mind, and write.
