Using My Impossible Life trauma travel & transcendence as the basis for the interview I reveal the many facets of healing employed to bring me out of the numbed, half-alive state of severe PTSD to the vibrant life I live today—meditation teacher, soul guide, grandmother and generally contented and grateful human being.
