Episode notes

I think the big thing that I take away from talking to you is that people who experience these things should be in charge of their stories it's not for other people to interpret. The takeaway will be long story short I'm not a bad talker and especially from my brother's actions can deeply affect someone else's trajectory we see that all the time right like in in a million different ways.

TW: Domestic violence, sexual abuse. In her early 20s, Amy suffered an unimaginable loss. Her mother was murdered at the hands of her brother. But what came next is an even more incredible story of growth, advocacy and overcoming adversity and trauma. In this week's episode, we speak to Amy about trauma in our 20s and how we can push through grief and loss. We discuss the power of positive self talk, the psychology of complex PTSD, unlearning generational trauma and how to use your pain to help others. Listen now.
