The Light Within:
Healing After Trauma
A New Way to Heal the Wounds You’ve Carried Too Long
A transformational program for those ready to move through the impact of trauma. We teach you how to not just survive your past—but to thrive beyond it. The Light Within provides a compassionate, empowering space to reconnect with yourself, regulate your nervous system, and navigate your healing journey with clarity and care.
The Light Within
Your trauma doesn’t have to define your future.
Your healing can shape your strength and rewrite your story.
Before we dive into details about this experience,
let’s make sure that you’re a good fit:
The Light Within is for you if your life has been shaped—or shattered—by trauma, and you’ve found yourself navigating a reality that feels disconnected, exhausting, or unfamiliar. You’ve tried to cope, you’ve followed advice, you’ve maybe even felt numb… but healing still feels out of reach.
This course is for you if you’ve been carrying the invisible weight of your past and are ready—not necessarily to “move on”—but to move through it with clarity, compassion, and power.
This program is right for you if any of this sounds like you….
You’ve been told to “just get over it,” but your nervous system, your relationships, and your body are telling a very different story.
You want to understand why you feel stuck, reactive, disconnected, or overwhelmed—and how to change that without shame or blame.
You’ve been surviving for so long that you’ve forgotten what it feels like to feel safe, to feel at home in your own body.
You’re tired of managing triggers and self-doubt alone. You want tools that help—not just theories or platitudes.
You’ve never really learned what trauma is, but you’re beginning to wonder if your life has been shaped by it more than you realized.
You’re starting to question old beliefs, family patterns, or behaviors that used to feel normal—but now feel like obstacles to healing.
You’ve got children in your life and want to break cycles, show up differently, and raise emotionally resilient humans—even as you figure it out yourself.
If you’re reading this and thinking, “Yep. That’s me.”—or if you’re holding back tears because finally someone said it…
Hi. We see you. You’re in the right place. And we’re so glad you’re here.

WHAT OUR CLIENTS EXPERIENCE
“Grief On Purpose changed my life. I know, it’s dramatic, but truly, after my partner died, my life was at a point where I didn’t know how to direct it anymore.”
-Meg, 25
“Every day I felt all these confusing feelings; I was living in a state of anxiety and peril, even just to go to the grocery store…I went from a highly reactive and emotional person, so easily triggered, that daily life was difficult. I am no longer the shell of who I was, and now am the best version of myself – all because grief on purpose showed me the way.”
-Kelsey, 41

A letter from our founder
Laura Walton
To my fellow traveler in healing,
Hi. I’m so sorry we’ve crossed paths under these circumstances, but I’m truly grateful you’ve found your way here. I know the world of trauma can feel confusing, isolating, and overwhelming.
The journey that led me to create Grief On Purpose started in 2007, when I was 26. Beau—my on-again, off-again boyfriend and best friend in the world—died unexpectedly of a heroin overdose. That loss shattered my world, but as I navigated the deep grief that followed, I began to realize something even bigger:
His death wasn’t the only thing I needed to heal from.
As I moved through my grief, I began to uncover layers of trauma that had been there long before Beau died—family dynamics, old wounds, unresolved pain that shaped how I coped and how I lived. And yet, when I looked for support, for answers, for real tools to help me heal that deeper hurt—I came up empty.
This became my turning point. The world offered me plenty of advice on "moving on," but not enough about how to move through trauma with compassion and care. I knew I wasn’t alone in that struggle.
Through my own healing (and because of it), I created Grief On Purpose—a space for women navigating grief and trauma. It’s a place for those of us who have carried invisible weight for too long. Our team isn’t just made up of professionals—we are women who have been there. We’ve felt that rawness, that disconnection, that sense of “I should be fine by now”… and we know healing takes more than platitudes.
We created The Light Within as an extension of the work we do every day. This self-guided trauma healing course offers you the tools, the understanding, and the space to gently reconnect with yourself—to move through your trauma at your own pace, with care and clarity.
Whether you’re just beginning to recognize the impact of your past or you’ve been surviving for so long that thriving feels out of reach—The Light Within meets you right where you are.
When you’re ready, I hope you’ll join us.
With love,
Laura
