Aware

In 2013, Amy O'Neill was running in the Boston Marathon. The finish line was up ahead and then two bombs exploded in an act of horrific terrorism. Amy talks with Nicky and Sarah on her life before and after this event. How past trauma's seeped into the present, as she experienced the annihilation of her identity. She describes the space between who she was and the becoming of who she is now as a space filled with shame and darkness. With help from a therapist and the global community who experienced terrorist attacks, she found her own emotional hardiness with ownership of that moment, shame and forgiveness.
