Jeannette is joined for a powerful conversation by Cheryl Hunter, who shares her harrowing yet transformative journey from a traumatic kidnapping experience in her teenage years to becoming a beacon of hope and resilience.

Cheryl recounts the pivotal moments of her life, detailing the isolation of her childhood in the Colorado Rockies, the shocking turn of events in Europe, and the long-lasting impact of her trauma. Through her story, she emphasises the importance of breaking the silence surrounding personal struggles and the healing power of sharing one's narrative.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The journey from being a victim to becoming a victor is possible. Choosing to overcome and grow from traumatic experiences rather than allowing them to lead to bitterness is a powerful transformation.
• Sharing personal stories of trauma can liberate not only the individual but also inspire others to confront their own hidden struggles. Authentic storytelling fosters deep human connections and can help break the cycle of silence surrounding trauma.
• Embracing the concept of wabi-sabi, which finds beauty in flaws and imperfections, can shift perspectives on personal experiences. Recognising that our scars and struggles contribute to our uniqueness can lead to self-acceptance and healing.
• Everyone has faced adversity in some form, and the interpretations of these experiences often shape our behaviours and relationships. Understanding that we all share this commonality can foster empathy and connection among individuals.

BEST MOMENTS

"I felt more captive after than I did when I was there, because now I couldn't escape it. There was no escaping it. It was now between my ears, this captivity."

"I decided with very little skill or world knowledge that how I was going to cope moving forward was to pretend it didn't happen."

"I think each of us has things that we feel are wrong with us, are broken, are damaged. Each of us... has at some point hidden those things."

"If we can share those things, it will set us free and to bring it all back together again, sharing our stories allows us to mine the gold from the adversity."
