We explore powerful topics like:

• Decolonizing trauma: What it means and how it changes your healing journey.
• Bending your reality: How to rewrite your narrative and create a thriving life post-trauma.
• Facing adversity and why cultivating a mindset of curiosity and rebellion is necessary
• Breaking toxic patterns: Tools and practices to disrupt negative behaviors.
• Embracing discomfort: How leaning into vulnerability and discomfort can lead to profound personal growth.
