0:00.0	I really want people to understand that they're not alone in their storytelling and that there is a way out.
0:08.0	It takes a lot of effort and work and self-awareness to open your heart and to reconnect and to feel like you're part of humanity that you're not isolated.
0:18.0	The biggest mirror you have in your life to who you are as a result
0:22.8	of trauma is what relationships you choose. Most of us come out of childhood and we're in early
0:29.3	adulthood and we still don't know how to really love ourselves. Welcome to the Melanie
0:34.0	Avalon biohacking podcast where we meet the world's top experts to explore the
0:39.1	secrets of health, mindset, longevity, and so much more. Are you ready to take charge of your
0:45.0	existence and biohack your life? This show is for you. Please keep in mind. We're not dispensing
0:51.5	medical advice and are not responsible for any outcomes you may
0:55.3	experience from implementing the tactics lying herein. So friends, are you ready to join me? Let's do
1:01.8	this. Welcome back to the Melanie Avalon biohacking podcast. Friends, this was such a powerful conversation that I had with Karina Kilcoyne.
1:15.5	Her story of what she went through growing up is wild.
1:19.0	And in today's conversation, we talk all about her book Rise Above the Story, and we dive
1:23.6	deep into how you can actually overcome trauma.
1:26.5	This was a really emotional, beautiful
1:28.2	conversation for me. And we talk about so many things, things like what emotions are appropriate,
1:33.6	the needs of relationships, combating victimhood, the concept of self-love and being enough,
1:40.0	bias in our memories, how to achieve awareness, how to actually forgive, and so much more.
1:46.5	I cannot thank Karina enough for sharing her story, and I'm definitely looking forward to
1:50.8	her next book. These show notes for today's episode will be at Melanieavalon.com
