1377: The Plus One Theory: How Your Deepest Pain Can Become Your Greatest Leadership Strength Today with Bestselling Author, Speaker, and Entrepreneur Pam Dwyer

What this episode covers

It’s hard carrying pain from the past that still echoes into daily life. Childhood trauma doesn’t just fade—it shapes how we see ourselves and the world around us. But sometimes, the very things that broke us are the same things that give us insight, empathy, and a deeper kind of strength. Healing doesn’t erase the past, but it can change how it defines us. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C6QkH5v3cXg Pam Dwyer, also known by her pen name PJ Hamilton, is a best-selling author and speaker who turns personal pain into powerful lessons.
