Overcoming Trauma and Healing: A Journey from Communist Romania to Empowerment

In this episode of the 'Get Obsessed' podcast, host Mika Altidor interviews Simone Gisondi, host of the 'Health Confidential' podcast. Simone shares her compelling story of growing up in a physically and emotionally abusive environment in communist Romania, where she had to navigate scarcity and oppression. She recounts her father's escape to Canada, subsequently reuniting the family in a new country where they faced additional challenges of integration and survival. Simone's narrative delves into the lasting impacts on her nervous system and overall health, which resulted in a major stroke at the age of 35. Her journey of recovery and understanding the deep connection between stored trauma and physical health sparked the creation of her podcast, aimed at helping others on similar journeys. Simone's discussion also highlights the importance of emotional health, regulated nervous systems, and the profound influence of relationships on self-worth.
