Who
Are We?
Welcome to Trauma on Blast with Wayne and Melissa.
Where nothing’s off-limits and healing happens out loud. We’re bringing you raw conversations about mental health, relationships, parenting, family struggles, love, addiction, recovery, and the taboo topics most people are too afraid to touch.

After a series of traumatic and agonizing experiences, I spent a decade trying to cope by abusing alcohol. I drank recklessly for many years, which manifested in a handful of DUIs, the loss of my family and countless jobs, homelessness, and several stays in treatment centers, mental health facilities, and sober-living environments.
Although my first career was in ministry, I've since filled many roles in the helping and support fields. I developed the Trauma on Blast platform, with Melissa, to be an outlet for our mutual passion for recovery and mental health awareness.
MELISSA

I've spent my career in the helping fields, including many years in the mental health world, helping families and young people gain access to resources and peer support. I'm passionate about raising mental health-related awareness and advocating for those suffering from unhealed trauma.
