Summary

Instead of colonising why don't we DEcolonise today? Trauma that is!

Join me in this transformative conversation with global thought leader and TEDx speaker, Yemi Penn, as we dive into alternative approaches to healing trauma.

We explore powerful topics like:

Decolonizing trauma: What it means and how it changes your healing journey.
Bending your reality: How to rewrite your narrative and create a thriving life post-trauma.
Facing adversity and why cultivating a mindset of curiosity and rebellion is necessary
Breaking toxic patterns: Tools and practices to disrupt negative behaviors.
Embracing discomfort: How leaning into vulnerability and discomfort can lead to profound personal growth.
