Healing from Family Trauma After Her Mother's Death with Amy Scott Rooker (Ep 48)

Prepare to be moved by Amy Scott Rooker’s extraordinary journey from trauma to healing. Growing up, she had a contentious relationship with her parents, who chose to ignore the intense trauma inflicted on Amy by a sibling. She tried to bury her pain by creating the “perfect” life as a corporate lawyer. Meanwhile, privately, she numbed herself with a few drinks every night and battled an eating disorder. It wasn’t until her mother died that her heart broke open and she knew something had to change. Her journey within involved therapists, books, plant medicine, and more, but it brought her healing, an inspiring spiritual awakening, and a new life grounded in love. It also stirred a latent love of writing, which she turned into her new memoir, My Mother is a Dragonfly. Her journey from grief to grace will show you that the greatest healing comes when you stop running from yourselves and start loving all parts of your story.
