Summary

Dr. Edith Eger was tortured for years in Auschwitz. Maya Angelou was violently attacked by a grown man at age 8. Colin O'Brady was told he'd never walk normally again after being severely burned in a fire. These survivors made a choice not to let their pasts define their futures. In today's episode, we share their stories. Featured in this episode are Dr. Edith Eger, a best-selling author, psychologist, and survivor of the Holocaust; Donald Miller, author, public speaker, and CEO of StoryBrand; Benjamin Hardy, organizational psychologist and the world’s leading expert on the psychology of entrepreneurial leadership and exponential growth; Amy Morin, psychotherapist, editor-in-chief at Verywell Mind, and host of the Verywell Mind Podcast; Colin O’Brady, a 10x world record holder who completed a solo trek across Antarctica; and Alex Banayan, the youngest bestselling business author in American history. In this episode, Hala and various guests will discuss: - Using your imagination to escape traumatic situations - Why you should take “I can’t” out of your vocabulary - Humankind’s deep need for meaning - How staying hopeful and setting goals can save your life in dire situations - Ask yourself what your pain needs to heal - The problem with trying to hide or suppress our emotions - What is a possible mindset? - We all have reservoirs of untapped potential - How Maya Angelou turned years of trauma into beautiful works of art that helped heal millions - And other topics… Resources Mentioned: Holocaust Survivor, Dr. Edith Eger: Overcoming Trauma | E112: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/holocaust-survivor-dr-edith-eger-overcoming-trauma-e112/id1368888880?i=1000517695033 Donald Miller: Be Your Own Hero | E153: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/donald-miller-be-your-own-hero-e153/id1368888880?i=1000549018819 Benjamin Hardy: The #1 Personal Growth Hack in 2023, How to Change Your Identity and Make Better Choices | E206: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-and-profiting-with-hala-taha/id1368888880?i=1000596025258 Dr. Caroline Leaf: Eliminate Toxic Thoughts | E114: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/young-and-profiting-with-hala-taha/id1368888880?i=1000519803969 YAPLive: Mental Health Masterclass with Dr. Daniel Amen, Dr. Robin Smith, Amy Morin and Jonas Koffler | Cut Version: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yaplive-mental-health-masterclass-with-dr-daniel-amen/id1368888880?i=1000552891541 Colin O’Brady: Conquer Your Mind | E184: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/colin-obrady-conquer-your-mind-e184/id1368888880?i=1000576909289 Alex Banayan: Unlocking The Third Door To Your Success | E167: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/alex-banayan-unlocking-the-third-door-to-your-success-e167/id1368888880?i=1000558562541 Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search For Meaning: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=man%27s+search+for+meaning+book&gclid=Cj0KCQiAlKmeBhCkARIsAHy7WVvQdQ-YJCGwCRjSqgnD0thCabJ0DG0UYJh6s2KvgpeSJ7luXlS_i_0aAhrFEALw_wcB&hvadid=241632980597&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=1017108&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=14723222330008363040&hvtargid=kwd-3086672388&hydadcr=22569_10355200&tag=googhydr-20&ref=pd_sl_27sm7avzb6_e Maya Angelou’s I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings: https://www.amazon.com/Know-Why-Caged-Bird-Sings/dp/0345514408 LinkedIn Secrets Masterclass, Have Job Security For Life: Use code ‘podcast’ for 40% off at yapmedia.io/course.

0:00.0	Hey everyone. You're listening to Yapsnacks, a series of bite-sized content hosted by me,
0:17.3	Hala Taha. Today's a little bit of a different topic, but it's definitely an important one.
0:22.4	We're talking about trauma.
0:24.3	Trauma can haunt us or trauma can motivate us.
0:27.5	And before we get started,
0:29.1	I want to share my most traumatic experience with you all.
0:32.8	And I'm freestyling this,
0:34.6	so I'll tell the story the best I can.
0:36.5	I'll try not to get super emotional
0:38.0	so that we can just get through it together. So in March of 2020, my entire family got COVID,
0:46.7	and we were one of the first families impacted by COVID. And I get a call from my sister,
0:51.6	and at the time, I'm living in Brooklyn with my boyfriend. I'm working at Disney streaming services. I've had this podcast for about two years. It's just a hobby. It makes no money.

1:26.4	and my life and my work for three months
1:29.7	because we went there to help my parents. We caught COVID. The shutdown happened. Everybody
1:34.9	started working from home. And I stayed at my parents' house because my friends and my boyfriend
1:40.8	weren't going to see me. At that point, it wasn't like you got COVID and 10 days later, you hung out with everyone
1:46.7	again.
1:47.7	At that point, getting COVID was like really crazy and nobody wanted to hang out with me for
