[00:01:03] – As a child. She experienced trauma through the lens of violence, addiction, and trafficking in childhood. She has been trying to understand why children are hurt by those who are meant to love them and keep them safe for more than half a century.

[00:07:30] – When it came to the passing of the queen. The world is watching this whole process. People in the UK see it from a different lens than those in the US. And how we see it is going to be completely different. The key to healing is to change the lens of trauma.

[00:09:25] – On the merry-go-round of survival, there are seven S’s: secrets. Silence, shame, the shadows, the status quo, the sabotage, the suffering, and the inner struggle to realign to the true nature of who we are. We live in a traumatized world and need to move our way back into our sacred nature. Everything that happens to you becomes a seed in your life. The words that people say to you will germinate and grow in the heart, and the roots of it go all the way through the body. As we are healing as families, as nations, as communities, as generations, there’s a lot of healing that needs to be done. It’s literally uprooting some of the things that were planted. Trauma is the greatest addiction known to man. It’s more addictive than any drug. We live in a spectrum of emotions. We dive deep into the darker, denser, heavier emotions while we’re here, so we can learn and understand them and heal them. Every emotion matters. The best way to find the balance between mind and heart, body and spirit, is to restore that sacred nature. Once those are online, there is nothing that you or your families cannot do. The light that shines from coming through adversity and from helping each other heal is more beautiful and worthwhile than anything we ever went through.
