Founder of the Why Me Movement with Vera Lee | Ep. 23
In this episode, Kyle Spyrides hosts Vera Lee, a survivor of domestic violence who rediscovered her passion for art. They discuss the importance of authenticity and support networks in trauma recovery, Vera's health crises and spiritual journey, and the inception of her "why me" movement. They delve into the significance of self-care and hope in healing, and the power of living in the present. Vera shares her transformation story, the impact of goal setting, and the importance of community. The episode concludes with a preview of season 2 and a glimpse of Vera's artwork.
The WhyMe Movement was founded by Vera-Lee Curnow after multiple near death experiences and adversities in her life.
One pivotal moment waking from a coma where she was not expected to survive, Vera-Lee explains how opening her eyes to the world with a fresh perspective, seeing colours with more vibrance, feeling the warmth of the sun like it was the first time again and knowing she never wanted to ask herself WhyMe in woeful unempowered feeling again,
She decided that was the last time she was going to feel controlled by adversity into darkness. Seeing the light in a new way upon waking from that coma, she started focussing more on what she could be grateful for in her life despite the immense physical and emotional challenges facing her path.
Vera-Lee had been inspiring audiences for many years since leaving a domestic violence relationship with her ex-husband, and wanted to share her journey and story with more people, helping to support others through the inspiration, connection and empowerment she has embodied on her own journey over the last 20 years.
When COVID placed her and her family on house arrest for over 9 months, she decided now was the time, and the WhyMe Movement was launched on social media and podcast WhyMe with Vera-Lee.
