Summary

Get ready for an episode that is as inspiring as it is empowering! And honestly, I want to warn you up front, this episode is also really heavy and may be triggering for some of you. Join me as we sit down with Hollywood stuntwoman Kimberly Murphy, whose story of resilience and healing will leave you in awe. She has jumped out of a building, hung from a helicopter, and tackled Brad Pitt! Her career and affinity for putting herself in painfully dangerous situations however, comes sadly from the pain of an abused 2 year old girl crying out for help. Despite a tough exterior, Kimberly's past is marked by childhood abuse that led to a cycle of unhealthy relationships. She believed this was normal - a misconception shared by many of the one in three women who have experienced childhood abuse. Watch as she shares how therapy and even exploring psychedelic work in her healing journey started to change her life. The unhealthy behaviors that Kimberly’s abuse led to are all too common to many women dealing with the broken pieces and aftermath of an abusive start to life.
