E188: I Was Given A Second Chance - Vera Lee Curnow Interview
Inspirational Speaker, Artist, Author and Coach, Vera Lee joins Pete today to discuss how she has taken her own trauma, education and life experiences to help people see a different perspective of life and unleash their full potential. Together they discuss the importance of understanding that your identity is not wrapped up in your trauma, why you can feel broken, but understand that you are not actually broken and why you should forgive but not forget.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Understand where your identity is and that it is not wrapped up in events that have happened to you or the people around you and who you want to be. Then, your fire in the belly will become your passion. Your fire in the belly will come when you realise that you have not been living your purpose and you have not been living with passion.
- You should never view yourself as broken, view yourself as feeling broken at certain times in your life. As a human, you don’t really break. You have scars and you have wounds that you can wear and choose to learn from and grow.
- No matter how deep and dark your experience has been, you can heal and you can feel positive again and lift others up at the same time instead of being beaten down and stripped bare.
- When wondering why some of your past trauma still hurts you so much when you have done so much work to recover, perhaps it is because you are still holding on to trying to work out how to forgive and You do not need to forget what happened to you, you need to honour what happened to you.
- For all the good, the bad and the ugly that has happened to you, you need to honour it without forgetting.
Forgiving is so freeing and so healing that you don’t need to forget. You can forgive and still honour your trauma.
BEST MOMENTS
“I learnt to trust the process and I found my voice through visual art.”
“Who I want to be and who I am are very aligned.”
“That was pivotal in our recovery.”
“Nothing has changed in the world except my perspective. I was given a second chance.”
