Have you ever wondered about the connection between trauma and intuition? Have you experienced the effects of generational, ancestral trauma? Do you know how to use your intuition to speak your truth, even when society tells you that your truth is “flawed”?
My good friend and guest Lewis Perkins knows a thing or two about trauma and intuition. As a small child growing up in the South East, he knew that he was gay and that being gay made him “different”. When the outside world clashed with his own inner knowing, he would find a quiet place away from his family to cry. He spent so many years being told by society that he was “wrong”. However the one thing that he knew, without a shadow of a doubt, was that he was ok. Even in his darkest moments, the inner pilot light of his soul told him he was divine.
Twenty-eight years of living a lie ended with sobriety and a hard look in the mirror. It also helped him hone what he calls his greatest gifts… empathy and the desire to understand others. Lewis has devoted his life to speaking up not only for his truth, but the truth for others who cannot speak up for themselves. A leader in the textile industry, his company is dedicated to reducing the impact on the environment and ending slave labor. In doing so, he is not only healing his current life trauma, but the trauma that has carried down through his family for generations.
It was a joy and an honor to sit with Lewis for this incredible conversation. And, as always, spirit showed up in a really beautiful way for him with a visit from his grandfather and a message of love through song and pennies.
