062: Does Pain Make You Bitter Or Make You Better? Healing From Trauma with Brittany Piper

Today's episode is one of the most important we've done so far: with activist and speaker Brittany Piper. It's not just for people who identify as "survivors" or people who have experienced unthinkable trauma - it's for anyone who has ever felt pain, who has ever identified with pain as a part of their story, and for anyone who not only wants to move THROUGH their pain, but be an advocate and ally for others who are moving through theirs, too. • • •   Brittany Piper is an international activist, speaker and healing + wellness coach—cultivating 200+ programs spanning eight years and three continents. Her work has been recognized by the The Clinton Foundation, Elite Daily, Yoga Journal + more. She is the co-founder and healing coach of On The Mend—a women's holistic healing retreat which supports survivors of trauma by empowering self-love. She is also a rape survivor and leading national expert on sexual violence prevention & recovery, as well as a photojournalist for women's organizations in conflict countries, and the founder of Love Conquers Photography—a renown social-enterprise dedicated to ending child marriage.  This conversation might just change your life.
