In this deeply moving episode of Transcending Trauma: The Spiritual Odyssey, Shari Leigh Roberts welcomes Dr. Bobbi Lambert—behavioral scientist, trauma expert, and cofounder of Confidante, Inc.—for a profound conversation on turning pain into purpose.
Dr. Lambert’s path was forever changed in the aftermath of one of the most horrific workplace shootings in U.S. history: a former client, holding a 12-year grudge, entered a San Francisco law firm and killed nine people. By then, the attorney he had originally worked with was long gone—but the rage remained. This shocking act of violence became the catalyst that launched Dr. Lambert’s groundbreaking work in trauma response and workplace violence prevention.
Her story doesn’t begin—or end—there. After the tragic shooting death of her father during a neighborhood walk with her mother, Dr. Lambert returned to school, earned a doctorate in behavioral science, and dedicated her life to helping others heal. She became a national leader in crisis consulting, guiding individuals and organizations through the aftermath of trauma and helping companies build safer cultures through due diligence and compassionate leadership.
We also discuss her emotionally rich novel, The Greatest Love of All—an adventurous, fictionalized story loosely inspired by her life. While it wasn’t originally written with the theme of unconditional love in mind, the process of writing it uncovered a powerful truth: love in its purest form isn’t something we chase—it’s something we become. The result is a layered journey of resilience, healing, and the unexpected beauty of giving and receiving love without conditions.
The Greatest Love of All is currently in the editing process, with hopes of a release later this year.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking hope after devastation, inspiration to turn grief into service, and wisdom on building resilience in the workplace and beyond.
