Awards winner, Viola is a woman who broke free; her story highlights the turbulent experiences of a childhood punctuated by her father’s early death, migration, then civil war. Further migration and cultural upheaval limited her opportunity of growing up in a stable Lebanese family environment when, as a teenager, she was again parachuted, migration style, into the vibrant, colorful, yet unfamiliar South American culture of Venezuela.

Viola joins me today to talk about impact. The impact we make on our selves, our children, and this world. Viola is a psychotherapist, breathwork trainer. She teaches the effects of our self-moderation and how developing a centered self will impact our mental health.
