Summary
What happens to us when we experience trauma? What impact does trauma have on our bodies, brains, hearts, relationships and lives? And what does it take to truly heal physical and emotional trauma — especially when we’ve been carrying our wounds for a long time, maybe even generations?
To help answer these questions and more, I’m joined on the show by Yemi Penn — author, documentarian, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and all-round powerhouse woman.
Yemi’s work around trauma stems from her own deeply personal experience of childhood abuse. Determined to free herself from the wounds she was carrying, she began searching for ways to empower her own healing journey and overcome the other forms of trauma she recognised in herself — including generational trauma that she inherited.
In this fascinating, inspiring, and incredibly important conversation, you’ll hear how Yemi turned her pain into power, how she processed and integrated her trauma so she could set herself free, and how her journey towards healing became a catalyst for transformation and growth. You’ll also discover the simple but powerful technique she swears by for releasing stored trauma, how hidden trauma can be impacting your relationship without you even realising, how trauma can hold us back from achieving our full potential, and how you too can set yourself free.
** Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of child abuse. Follow your intuition if you know this conversation is not for you right now.
