The Woman Who Refused to Break: Guerdy Abraira on Healing, Identity & Strength

In this episode of The Determined Society, host Shawn French sits down with Guerdy Abraira, world-renowned event designer, Real Housewives of Miami star, cancer survivor, and now author of her powerful memoir 'From Trauma to Trophies'.Joined by her husband Russell, the two open up about identity, childhood trauma, cultural reinvention, marriage, betrayal, fame, survival, and the inner work required to reclaim your voice.Guerdy shares intimate details about immigrating from Haiti to Paris to the United States, being separated from her family at just nine years old, building self-worth through service, navigating reality TV conflict, creating the Let Me Theory, and fighting, and beating, breast cancer with ferocity and grace.Together, she and Russell reveal the truth behind healing, partnership, intention, forgiveness, and what it really means to win at life. Key Takeaways-Reinvention is a lifelong journey — from Haiti to Paris to Miami, every chapter shaped Guerdy’s confidence.-Childhood trauma creates patterns of people-pleasing, perfectionism, and over-performing, until you decide to break them.-Cancer forces surrender: losing control, facing mortality, and rebuilding identity from the inside out.-The Let Me Theory empowers you to reclaim autonomy, set boundaries, and choose peace on your own terms.-A strong marriage is built on intention, patience, presence, and seeing every version of each other with love.-Being “too much” is a superpower, your energy, joy, and authenticity are your gifts, not liabilities.-Self-worth is not material, it’s who you become, not what you own. Guerdy's trophies are her growth, her family, and her freedom. Connect with me :https://link.me/theshawnfrench?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaY2s9TipS1cPaEZZ9h692pnV-rlsO-lzvK6LSFGtkKZ53WvtCAYTKY7lmQ_aem_OY08g381oa759QqTr7iPGAGuerdy and Russell Abrairahttps://www.instagram.com/guerdydesign/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
