Summary

This is a fan fav episode. Feeling Trapped? Find Your Voice, Stand Up & Never Be Pushed Around Again | Kimberly Shannon Murphy Prepare for an emotional rollercoaster as we delve into the chilling experiences of Hollywood stuntwoman, Kimberly Murphy. I want to warn you up front, this episode is emotionally heavy and may be triggering for some of you. Join me as we sit down 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 comes sadly from an abused 2 year girl crying out for help. In part one of this two-part episode, we unpack her harrowing journey from childhood abuse through physical violence and emotional manipulation. Kimberly's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the power of transformation. Despite the scars of her past, she has turned her life around in such an epic way, battled unhealthy relationships, and emerged as the badass woman she’s become. My hope is for the woman that really needs to hear what is possible to find what she needs and take away the valuable lessons about self-worth, growth, and the power of resilience. By tuning in, you'll gain insights into the effects of trauma and the healing process, empowering you to face your own challenges head-on.
