Episode Synopsis

Traumatic events in early developmental years happen to 2 out of 3 people by the time they are 16. It is important to understand that these experiences constitute more than just your typical idea of trauma. Emotional neglect, verbal abuse, a poor relationship with your caregiver, bullying, and physical abuse are just some of the examples of trauma you may have experienced as a child that continue to influence your brain, body, and behavior long into your adult life. There is nothing wrong with you, and you're not messed up. You're not crazy and you're not alone, but you are impacted by your childhood trauma. Bringing awareness to your trauma and recognizing how it shows up in your life today are the first steps you can take healing, forgiving, and moving on. Tune into this episode to listen to some of our personal examples of childhood trauma, how it influenced our lives, what we did to recognize it, and how we overcame it. As always, we've got your back baddies, and we are here to inspire you to shine light on the darkness, and release your past to make room for something better.
