In this episode of Talking to Trauma, Lori sits down with Amanda McCordic, founder of Dragonfly Reiki, for a deeply personal conversation about cancer, grief, healing, and rebuilding life through unimaginable challenges. Amanda shares how Reiki became an important part of her own healing journey and ultimately inspired the creation of Dragonfly Reiki — an online community rooted in compassion, connection, and accessible support.

Together, they explore themes of resilience, caregiving, burnout, self-worth, and the importance of creating spaces where people feel seen and supported. Amanda also shares the vision behind Dragonfly Community Circles, guided meditations, and the organization’s commitment to supporting both individuals and caregivers through gentle, meaningful resources designed to help people reconnect and breathe.
