Alberta is a trauma survivor and has lived through sexual abuse, physical abuse, verbal abuse, emotional abuse, and financial abuse and then suffered a medical trauma – a brain haemorrhage. Alberta overcame all of these obstacles and more while raising two children.
She joins Dawn to talk about her personal journey with anxiety and the work she now does with other women through her company Exhilarated Life, LLC; teaching them to discover their own power and help trauma survivors take their lives back.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Alberta was a victim of abuse when she was just 5 years old. She lived through this trauma for the rest of her life; creating further trauma to occur including through countless toxic relationships.
- To heal from trauma, you have to first accept the full truth of what happened so you can begin to recognise your coping mechanisms and behaviours related to the trauma.
- How you choose to see and live life has the biggest impact on your anxiety and happiness. Mindset is key, regardless of the trauma you have experienced.
- In just 8 weeks, Alberta helps trauma survivors find their inner power and begin life after trauma.
- Always tell yourself the truth. You know deep down what the truth is, you can tell yourself.
- There are simple things you can do when you are feeling overwhelmed; stop, breathe and listen to your body.
BEST MOMENTS

ABOUT THE GUEST

The specialized programs at Exhilarated life guide and empower trauma survivors post-divorce so that they can bounce back POWERFULLY, CONFIDENTLY, WHOLE, and MORE PURPOSEFULLY.
Alberta had been coaching for some 20+ years before deciding to solely focus on trauma survivors. Working in a plastic surgery clinic is where it became most evident to her that coaching would be a fulfilling path. Alberta states, “I naturally found myself coaching trauma survivors who either suffered a major burn, had lost a limb or who felt defeated in trying to lose the weight they needed to qualify for surgery. I engaged clients to help them see their possibilities and as a result, they became energized, visualized & achieved their goals and became repeat customers.” Alberta states, “I have lived through trauma. I am living my best life now and I want to help you do the same!”
Alberta is a Chicago, IL native, but has settled in Memphis, TN for the past 13 years. She obtained her first business degree at Robert Morris University in Chicago, IL.
