Zulma Beatriz Williams, LCSW, also known as The Swearing Therapist, joins the conversation to share her powerful journey through trauma, immigration, cancer survival, mental health recovery, and radical self-trust. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Zulma immigrated to the United States at 31, earned her social work degrees later in life, and became fully licensed after surviving breast cancer, abusive relationships, depression, and suicidal ideation.
As the founder of Dragonfly Therapy Services, Zulma specializes in trauma therapy, anxiety, and depression, bringing an honest, no-b******t approach to mental health that resonates deeply with people who are tired of being talked down to. Now living by the ocean in Panama, she speaks about resilience, healing, and honoring the internal warrior—not as a victim story, but as a lived truth.
This episode explores mental health healing, trauma recovery, immigrant resilience, and how real talk, self-compassion, and courage can help people reclaim their power and live with purpose—no matter what they've survived.
