"For just as through the one the many were made sinners, so too through the one the many shall be made righteous."
From my abusers came all this evil and from me will come good.
I am not here to preach a faith to you, I have my faith and it guides my life, but I am here to tell you that if something happened to you as a child, youth, young adult or even as an adult, that doesn't have to define your life or limit your journey. With courage, with social supports, and with therapy you too can convert the evils of your past into triumphs in your future - have faith!
Trauma-informed care is essential whether that is demonstrating to audiences multiple grounding techniques during presentations or educating others about becoming trauma-informed in their practices - it is all about self-care to become better for others-care!
I am an exceptionally effective public speaker as I draw from both personal and professional experiences to encourage others to grasp the difference they can make in the lives of others while evidencing the importance of self-care in this work and the ability to turn shortfalls into launch pads to become more effective than ever before!
