Healing From Trauma: Reclaim Your Power with Susan Gold

Many of us are hiring coaches and investing in a lot of courses and self-development to help transform our lives, but never addressing past anchors that are keeping us where we are, which is where the work is always at. It’s only when we start working through our trauma and emotions do we begin to experience results in our health and fitness. Doing the inner work allows us to see fitness and health as part of who we are and not as a means to try to punish ourselves for wanting to look a certain way. Instead, it becomes our oxygen and way of life.  We don’t choose who our parents and siblings are, but understanding how fortunate you are to be born where you were born is the beginning of healing. Life happens for us and not to us, and understanding your experiences and doing the inner work is choosing not to be a victim. It doesn’t matter where you are in your journey. You can transform from a victim into a victor and regain your power. We are here for an experience, and your journey is an incredible school of learning.  In this episode of Fall in Love with Fitness, Susan Gold shares with me some deep truths that she has written in her book and the things she helps people overcome. We also talk about how our past experiences continue to show up for us and create the life we are currently experiencing, even when we’re in a place of massive change, and how we can transform our situation.
