Irene here. Below I have a story that was shared by one of our SmartBody SmartMind alumni, Kait. I only came across her and her story when she sent this letter to us a couple of weeks ago. While her share is deeply impactful, it is not uncommon. [...]
Bold statement I know. But, it is true. It does take time to heal trauma, but WE have to participate. And that healing, in my professional and personal experience, starts with LEARNING. + plus a desire to take charge and make changes + Those changes don't need to [...]
