EP12 | Redefining Trauma


Listen Later

We hope that this episode helps in normalizing discussions around trauma & mental health and that it promotes a path to healing for all who listen.

The World Health Organization estimates that about 5 million deaths per year are caused by trauma and intentional and unintentional injuries. Almost 9 out of 10 (90%) of these injury-related deaths occur in low and middle-income countries (LMICs), one of which is South Africa.

It's an important topic that should be discussed more. We should not feel that it is our trauma that defines us. We should rather feel that these experiences we encounter in life aid us in becoming stronger and more resilient. At our core, we are all magical miracles. And so we shall always be. 

This episode also features an interview with Trevor Kleinhans author of, "Secrets Make You Sick" & we chat to the cast & crew of South Africa's latest LGBTQI+ Rom-Com, "No Hiding Here".
