Listen "A Journey of Hope: Elijah Gossett on Life After Trauma"
Episode Synopsis
Trigger Warning: This episode deals with the issue of domestic violence, including gun violence. This is a must listen episode. Elijah Gossett is my very special guest. He is a survivor of domestic violence who, from the moment he awoke from surgery, chooses to see the hope and gratitude of his circumstances despite the long physical recovery he faced. He chooses to see that love is everywhere and we are so privileged to hear his views on joy, love, hope, resilience, and choosing his mindset even when faced with serious adversity. KEY TAKEAWAYS Choosing hope, joy, and beauty on the hard days is a conscious decision. No matter what you’ve been through, there’s beauty all around you if you take the time to absorb it. Don’t allow yourself to get bogged down in the difficult parts of life around you. There is always something beautiful or positive to see in the world. BEST MOMENTS Life is beautiful – despite the hardships. I’m breathing. I’m alive. I wanted to give back to my community that helped me so much. I owe fire fighters my life. Hope is everything… and is pretty contagious. Never give up. VALUABLE RESOURCES If you’re struggling in a relationship and wondering if it might be controlling, you’re not alone.
