About LivesOutLoud Podcast

Melanie Mumma has devoted her life to working with survivors of Complex PTSD, childhood abuse, neglect, narcissistic abuse, and sexual assault since the early 1980s. As a scapegoat in a narcissistic family, she endured constant abuse until becoming emancipated at 15. She was self-sufficient working, renting a room and finishing high school.

Her journey began with helping people escape toxic environments and learn to take control of their lives. This evolved into an obsession with reading and studying the latest research findings by leading neuroscientists, psychiatrists, and psychologists. Certifications: ICF-Coach, Mindfulness, NLP, DBT, CBT, and Trauma-informed coaching.

As a Tech leader, the courses on personality types for team building and employee development had some benefits. My training on the impacts of trauma and childhood wounds was game changing in addressing the most significant barriers to creating high-performing teams in the work environment.
