20. Lydia Richard: Reclaiming Power After Trauma — From Wounds 2 Wealth

There came a moment when Lydia Richard (@wounds2wealth) chose to stop letting trauma dictate her life — it would become the beginning of her power. 

Lydia is a businesswoman, personal development coach, and mother whose journey from surviving sexual assault to rebuilding her identity is a profound example of what it looks like to transform pain into purpose. Her story isn’t about pretending everything is fine — it’s about doing the hard, intentional work of healing, reclaiming worth, and choosing to rise. In this conversation, we talk about the emotional and psychological layers of recovery, the courage it takes to face your story, and how Lydia built a life rooted in strength, faith, mindset, and self-respect. She reminds us that healing isn’t quick or clean — but it is possible, and it can lead to a richer and more meaningful life than before. 

If you’re in a season where hope feels far away, Lydia’s voice is one you’ll want to hear.
