Summary

Kimi is smitten with Meyli Chapin, “Terrorist Attack Girl”, and after listening to the interview from last week, Christy is too. Both appreciate Meyli’s authenticity and the raw emotion she brings to her story of terror and healing. It is a rare gift to share pain and hope in equal measure.

Kimi and Christy discuss trauma, both the big and small hardships that impact our health and wellbeing. They wonder whether small-scale, more personal events qualify as trauma, and conclude that trauma is trauma (this is not a competition!). The friends discuss tools to help navigate adversities and Kimi shares an insight from her guests that the retelling of their trauma is often cathartic and a bridge to growth.

Are you interested in thinking more about trauma and your mindset toward adversity? Kimi and Christy suggest reading “The Body Keeps The Score” – bonus, it has beautiful cover art – and a practical workbook called “Choose Growth”, that provides research and strategies for transcending trauma, fear and self-doubt.

0:55.0	secure. Hello, listeners, and welcome to A Little Wiser. And hello, Christy Peterson.
1:19.3	Hi, Kimmy. So today we are talking about your interview with Maley Chapin, who was trapped in a hotel room for 17 hours in Nairobi while terrorists attacked
1:30.5	the property that she was staying in. You guys discuss her experience during the event and after
1:35.9	her journey to heal from post-traumatic stress disorder PTSD. So I just want to say at the outset,
1:43.8	the interview was so incredibly raw and
1:47.7	emotional and real. And maybe it's the fact that we all have this capacity for empathy,
1:54.5	but I was really right there with you, tearing up with her with you. And I could just feel the
1:59.7	gravity of the story. So I just was wondering,
2:02.6	as you think about it, how was that interview for you? What was it like? And I'd love to hear also,

2:18.4	And in doing my research to interview him, I came across Maylee's story and I was just

2:32.0	which he was kind enough to make.
