What does wandering the cobbled streets of Rome, standing in the shadow of the Colosseum, and navigating the beauty (and chaos!) of Cinque Terre have to do with healing after trauma? More than you might think !!

In this episode of Growing Tall Poppies, I share reflections from the final leg of my European journey — from the heat and hustle of Florence and Venice, to the awe-inspiring history of Rome, the Colosseum and the Vatican Museums. These travels offered powerful lessons about resilience, courage, and the willingness to “step into the arena” of life, even when it feels easier to stay on the sidelines.

Inside, you’ll discover:
✨ Why the Colosseum is more than a tourist attraction — it’s a metaphor for the courage required in post-traumatic growth.
✨ How cobblestone streets remind us of the uneven, sometimes messy path of healing.
✨ What travel teaches us about flexibility, patience, and finding meaning in both the beauty and the discomfort.
✨ Strategies you can use right now to step back into your own “arena,” with authenticity, courage, and heart.

Whether you’ve faced trauma, loss, or just life’s unexpected turns, this episode is an invitation to reflect, reset, and reimagine what’s possible when you choose growth over fear.

🎧 Tune in now and let Italy’s timeless wisdom inspire your journey.
