The word "trauma" gets thrown around a lot these days. We've got "Big T" trauma—life-altering events—and "little t" trauma, those smaller but persistent stressors from our past. And while trauma is real and I believe it’s absolutely necessary to get the help you need to find healing, there is a narrative floating around that if you’ve experienced trauma, you are destined for a life of stress and struggle.

A lot of high-achieving women that I speak to in workshops are convinced that their past trauma is a permanent fixture in their life. They connect their past experiences to their current challenges and believe that they are locked into an unavoidable path forward.

But I've seen firsthand that this isn't necessarily the case. Overcoming trauma is possible and a fulfilling life is absolutely within reach.

Neuroplasticity shows us that our brains are constantly rewiring, providing new insights and avenues for thought. Trauma, while part of our history, doesn't have to carve an irreversible path. The beauty of being human lies in our ability to access fresh thinking and insights that propel us forward.

Trauma is a sensitive topic and I'm not insinuating that healing is simple. But I am a firm believer that you are not sentenced to a life of struggle because of what happened to you. Your brain is constantly creating new pathways and new possibilities. What would change if you truly believed that?
