The way that we choose to interpret the experiences that we have, the way that trauma is experienced in our body is different for everybody.

As someone who has experienced sexual trauma, not just once, but twice, what I can say is the way that I chose to heal through that is in the choosing to forgive.

I'm curious about what happened to both of them in their life that had them feel like that was the thing to do.

For them to make that choice, what happened, what broke them, what robbed them of their innocence.

And when I choose to forgive, not only do they not have my power any longer, but I can choose an interpretation that's going to forward me.

Most people will choose to cling onto the victim conversation,

that they were victimized, that they were abused, that they were taken advantage of, that their joy was stolen.

We must be willing to look at the event, the interpretation, the experience, the pain, all of it.

And of course, pain is inevitable.

We're all going to experience that as people, as human beings.

We all do have the ability to transmute that pain into something that is going to be fuel for our fire.

This is my mission always, is to show people how to turn literally anything into a gift.

I feel like I'm at a time machine. Well, you are. Time doesn't exist. Time is a construct. Holy snap, 2010, we were working out in Santa Monica. You were leading these workouts. You remember that? Of course. And I was like, who is this ball of fire? And then you've morphed into so many beautiful things. Like, we're both parents. We're both in Austin, we've been on such the journey. It's been quite the trajectory, right? Holy shit. And we were

just talking about this offline, never in a million years did we ever think that we'd be living

in Texas. I mean, I imagine myself in California forever. And now we're parents and we're just

living our best life in an incredible state.

We really are living our best life. And like you and I have a fun banter. I just, I've always

actually loved that the most about you. You have this ability to bring out people's children.

Oh.

Like I remember when I first met you, I was like, wow, she's really in touch with her little girl.

But, you know, when we're in touch with our children, like not always, it's just the bright stuff coming out. Like sometimes the dark, actually a lot of the times, a lot of times the dark comes out too. And that has been the ultimate journey for me and for you. And so I'm looking forward to like diving into that. And also what's going on in the world right now with mind control and insane. Which rabbit hole do we want to go down? Like,
