"You can be like that phoenix bird rising from the ashes... If you're willing to look into your shadow, the answers usually lie there." ✨

Healing isn't just about feeling better—it's about transformation. In the very first episode of Triumphing Over Trauma, I share my own personal "dark night of the soul."

Born to parents fleeing war and communism, I grew up navigating intergenerational trauma and a volatile home life. But it was a mysterious illness in my 20s—chronic Lyme disease—that finally brought me to the edge and sparked my spiritual awakening.

In this episode, I open up about: 🔥 How trauma is actually stored in the body. 🔥 Why holistic therapies became my lifeline when traditional methods weren't enough. 🔥 How to find your own path from pain to power.

You are not alone, and you are stronger than you think.
