Penny shares how her personal journey with trauma led her to write a book series inspired by ancient Sumerian mythology, and how reframing life’s struggles through a broader lens can facilitate deep healing. We also discuss the importance of understanding trauma, self-discovery, and how creative expression can be a transformative tool for women.What You’ll Learn in This Episode:How Penny’s own healing journey inspired her book seriesThe role of mythology and ancient civilizations in storytelling and self-discoveryWhy traditional narratives around trauma recovery often miss the markPractical insights on viewing life’s struggles as opportunities for deeper learningHow natural therapies can support women healing from traumaAbout Our Guest: Penny Barron has always had a fascination with ancient and mythical civilizations.
