The impulse many of us have is to not talk about it and not address it and just deal with

whatever you have to deal with in the moment and then go away and never mention it again.

The problem with that is that that will keep creating the same exact cycle.

You got to break it somehow.

Happy Monday, everyone. It's Sophie.

And a D.

We're always looking for new ways to support you,

and we know firsthand how life can get in the way. So we've created five-minute episodes with

motivation from us and our great friends to keep you feeling ignited and inspired no matter

what life throws at you. Welcome to the Ignited Motivation podcast, mini episodes every Monday.

Listen while you brush your teeth. Or on your morning walk. And you'll never miss out on the

latest tips and tricks that are keeping us feeling motivated. A lot of us have experienced trauma,

and I just want you to know how common this is. 60% of adults report that they've

had childhood trauma of some sort. You increase this to lifelong trauma and the numbers

grow to closer to 80% of adults who've had trauma at some point in their life. And we're

talking physical, sexual, emotional abuse, witnessing violence, having painful experience

to yourself, like a medical procedure that was really, really painful and traumatic, or having a really bad accident, child neglect

or grief, as in somebody really, really close to you passing, or having to move repeatedly

over and over and over when you were young and that causing distress, or having other disturbing

experiences.

So 60 to 80% if you move from childhood experiences to lifelong.

That means almost everybody you know has had this happen.
