When Trauma is Everywhere - Episode Summary:
“I had people say, ‘you still have your legs, what are you complaining about?’ It was the worst day of my life, and now people are feeling  open to tell me that that experience doesn't count”.

In 2013, two bombs exploded at the Boston Marathon, a short distance from where Manya Chylinski stood, cheering on the runners. Three people were killed that day, and hundreds were wounded, and while Manya had no physical injuries, she was one of countless bystanders who suffered incredible trauma for years afterwards. As an invisible victim of the attack, Manya was offered no support for her PTSD and zero validation of her experience. That's when she realized how pervasive and disregarded trauma really is, so she decided to change that.

In this episode, Manya shares her story of that terrifying day and why she left her career to start educating corporate audiences about compassionate, trauma informed leadership. Manya is on a mission to ensure that everyone is seen and supported in the place where we spend most of our waking hours: the workplace.

About Manya Chylinski
Manya is a keynote speaker and advocate. Her life took an unexpected turn when the Boston Marathon bombings left her with deep emotional scars and post-traumatic stress. Her healing journey led her to help individuals and organizations reimagine leadership with a focus on empathy and well-being.

A communication expert, Manya helps individuals and organizations understand the mental and emotional effects of trauma and build resilience during times of change and crisis. She has shared her wisdom on stages like SXSW and TEDx, on CBS, NPR, and in The Boston Globe.
