Summary

Is your unspoken trauma holding you back from success? Today, I’m so excited to speak with Powerhouse OG, Taylor Wray, the founder of Awakening Sol. Taylor is someone who truly embodies the healing journey in a way that I know will inspire and awaken you—wherever you may be in yours. She opens up about how she went from abusing drugs at just 13-years-old, to her experiences navigating loss in rehab, to now thriving as her fully aligned self. We talk about the impact of trauma on the way we show up in our lives and our businesses, and how patterns developed during our childhood continue well into our adulthood (whether we realize it or not!). Taylor also shares a much-needed destigmatized lens for detaching your identity from the success of your business, unwinding deep, subconscious patterns, and accessing healing in a way that resonates with you.
